1 J esus said to His followers, “For sure, things will come that will make people sin. But it is bad for the person who makes someone else sin.

Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga, E kore e taea te whakakahore te putanga o nga take he: otiia aue, te mate mo te tangata e puta ai!

2 I t would be better for him to have a large rock put around his neck and be thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

He nui te pai ki a ia ki te whakatarewatia ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, kia maka hoki ia ki te moana, a kia kaua e taka i a ia ki te he tetahi o enei mea nohinohi.

3 “ Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, speak sharp words to him. If he is sorry and turns from his sin, forgive him.

Kia tupato ki a koutou: ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, riria; a ki te ripeneta, murua tona.

4 W hat if he sins against you seven times in one day? If he comes to you and says he is sorry and turns from his sin, forgive him.”

A ki te whitu nga haranga ki a koe i te ra kotahi, a ka whitu ona hokinga mai ki a koe, a ka mea, E ripeneta ana ahau; murua tona.

5 T he followers said to the Lord, “Give us more faith.”

A ka mea nga apotoro ki te Ariki, Whakanuia to matou whakapono.

6 T he Lord said, “If your faith was as a mustard seed, you could say to this tree, ‘Be pulled out of the ground and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Jesus Teaches about Being Faithful

Na ka mea te Ariki, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, me te pua nani te rahi, ka mea koutou ki tenei hikamaina, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakatokia ki te moana; na ka rongo ki a koutou.

7 “ What if you owned a servant who was working in the field or taking care of sheep? Would you say to him when he came in from his work, ‘Come and sit down to eat?’

Na, ko wai o koutou he pononga tana e parau ana, e tiaki ana ranei i nga hipi, e mea atu ki a ia, i tona hokinga mai i te mara, haere tonu mai, ka noho ki te kai?

8 N o, instead you would say, ‘Get my supper ready. Dress yourself and care for me until I am through eating and drinking. Then you can eat and drink.’

A e kore e mea ki a ia, Taka he hapa maku, ka whitiki ai i a koe, ka tuari mai ki ahau, kia mutu ra taku kai, taku inu; a muri iho ka kai ai koe, ka inu ai?

9 D oes the servant get thanks for doing what he was told to do? I am sure he does not.

E whakawhetai oti ia ki taua pononga, mona i mea i nga mea i whakahaua ai ia?

10 I t is the same with you also. When you do everything you have been told to do, you must say, ‘We are not any special servants. We have done only what we should have done.’” Jesus Heals Ten Men with a Bad Skin Disease

Waihoki ko koutou, ka oti nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou, ka ki atu, He pononga huakore matou; ko ta matou i mea ai ko te mea ano i whakaritea kia mahia e matou.

11 J esus went on His way to Jerusalem. He was passing between the countries of Samaria and Galilee.

Na, i a ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama, ka haere ia ra waenganui o Hamaria, o Kariri.

12 A s He was going into one of the towns, ten men with a bad skin disease came to Him. They stood a little way off.

A, i a ia e tomo ana ki tetahi kainga, kotahi tekau nga tangata i tutaki ki a ia, he repera, na, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti:

13 T hey called to Him, “Jesus! Teacher! Take pity on us!”

Ka karanga, ka mea, E kara, e Ihu, kia aroha ki a matou.

14 W hen Jesus saw them, He said, “Go and show yourselves to the religious leaders.” As they went, they were healed.

A, i tona kitenga atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kia kite nga tohunga i a koutou. A i a ratou e haere ana, na kua ma.

15 O ne of them turned back when he saw he was healed. He thanked God with a loud voice.

A, no te kitenga o tetahi o ratou kua ora ia, ka hoki, a he rahi tona reo ki te whakakororia i te Atua.

16 H e got down on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. He was from the country of Samaria.

A takoto tapapa ana ia ki ona waewae, ka whakawhetai ki a ia: a no Hamaria ia.

17 J esus asked, “Were there not ten men who were healed? Where are the other nine?

A ka oho atu a Ihu, ka mea, Kihai ranei te tekau i whakarangia? a kei hea nga tokoiwa?

18 I s this stranger from another country the only one who turned back to give thanks to God?”

Heoi ano nga mea i kitea e hoki mai ana ki te homai i te kororia ki te Atua, ko tenei tangata iwi ke.

19 T hen Jesus said to him, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust in God has healed you.” Jesus Teaches about the Holy Nation of God

Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika, haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai.

20 T he proud religious law-keepers asked when the holy nation of God would come. Jesus said to them, “The holy nation of God is not coming in such a way that can be seen with the eyes.

A, i te uinga a nga Parihi ki a ia, ko a hea puta mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore e kitea te putanga mai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

21 I t will not be said, ‘See, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For the holy nation of God is in you.” Jesus Tells of His Second Coming

E kore ano ratou e mea, Na, tenei! na, tera! kei roto hoki i a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

22 J esus said to His followers, “The time will come when you will wish you could see the Son of Man for one day. But you will not be able to.

A ka mea ia ki nga akonga, Tera e tae mai nga ra e hiahia ai koutou kia kite i tetahi o nga ra o te Tama a te tangata, a e kore koutou e kite.

23 T hey will say to you, ‘He is here,’ or, ‘He is there,’ but do not follow them.

A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.

24 W hen the Son of Man comes, He will be as lightning that shines from one part of the sky to the other.

Ka rite hoki ki te uira e hoko mai ana i tetahi wahi i raro o te rangi: a tiaho atu ana ki tetahi atu wahi i raro o te rangi; e pera ano te Tama a te tangata a tona ra.

25 B ut before that, He must suffer many hard things. The people of this day will have nothing to do with Him.

Otiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.

26 “ As it was in the time of Noah, so will it be when the Son of Man comes back.

Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa nga ra o te Tama a te tangata.

27 P eople ate and drank. They married and were given in marriage. They did these things until the day Noah went into the large boat. Then the flood came and killed all the people on earth.

E kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e marena ana, e tukua ana ki te marena, taea noatia te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki te aaka, a, ko te putanga mai o te waipuke, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

28 I t was the same in the time of Lot. People ate and drank. They bought and sold. They planted and built.

Ka rite ano hoki ki nga ra i a Rota; e kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana, e whakato ana, e hanga whare ana.

29 B ut the day Lot left the city of Sodom, fire and sulphur came down from heaven like rain. It killed all the people of Sodom.

Heoi i te ra i puta mai ai a Rota i Horoma, ka uaina he kapura, he whanariki i te rangi, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

30 “ It will be the same on the day when the Son of Man comes again.

Ka pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.

31 I n that day the man who is on top of a house should not come down to take his things out of the house. In the same way, the man who is in the field should not go back to his house.

I taua ra, kei runga tetahi i te whare, me ona taonga hoki i roto i te whare, kaua ia e heke iho ki te tiki i aua mea: ko te tangata hoki i te mara, kaua ia e hoki atu ki nga mea o muri.

32 R emember Lot’s wife!

Kia mahara ki te wahine a Rota.

33 “ He who wants to keep his life will have it taken away from him. He who loses his life will have it given back to him.

Ki te whai tetahi kia ora ia, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, ka ora ano ia.

34 I tell you, on that night there will be two men in the same bed. One of them will be taken. The other will be left.

Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, I taua po tokorua i te moenga kotahi; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

35 T wo women will be grinding grain together. One of them will be taken. The other will be left.

Tokorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

36 T wo men will be working in a field. One will be taken. The other will be left.”

Tokorua nga tangata i te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

37 T hen they asked Jesus, “Where will this happen?” He said to them, “Birds also gather where there is a dead body.”

Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko hea, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te wahi i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga ekara.
