1 A nd he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;

A i mea ano ia ki ana akonga, Tera tetahi tangata whai rawa i mua, he tuari taonga tona; a ka korerotia ki a ia kei te maumauria e ia ana taonga.

2 a nd having called him, he said to him, What this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a ka mea atu ia ki a ia, He aha tenei e rangona nei e ahau mou? korerotia mai te tikanga o nga mea i tuaritia e koe; e kore hoki e ahei kia waiho koe hei tuari.

3 ` And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: --

Na ko te meatanga a taua tuari i roto i a ia, Me aha ahau? e tangohia ana hoki i ahau te tuaritanga e toku ariki: e kore ahau e kaha ki te keri; e whakama ana ahau ki te tono mea maku.

4 I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

E mohio ana ahau ki taku e mea ai, mo toku peinga rawatanga atu i te tuaritanga, ka ai o ratou whare hei tukunga atu moku.

5 ` And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord?

Na ka karangatia e ia tenei tangata, tenei tangata o te hunga i a ratou nei etahi mea a tona ariki, ka mea ia ki te tuatahi, E hia nga mea a toku ariki i a koe?

6 a nd he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.

Na ka mea tera, Kotahi rau mehua hinu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, hohoro te noho, tuhituhia e rima tekau.

7 ` Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.

Katahi ia ka mea ki tetahi, E hia hoki i a koe? Ka mea ia, Kotahi rau mehua witi. na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, tuhituhia e waru tekau.

8 ` And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

Na ka mihia te tuari kino e tona ariki, mona i whai whakaaro: Engari hoki nga tamariki o tenei ao, i to ratou whakapaparanga, nui ke te whakaaro i to nga tamariki o te marama.

9 a nd I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Waiho te taonga kino hei mea i etahi hoa aroha mo koutou; mo te he rawa iho, ka ai he tukunga atu mo koutou ki nga whare ora tonu.

10 ` He who is faithful in the least, also faithful in much; and he who in the least unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;

Ko ia e pono ana ki te mea nohinohi rawa, e pono ano i te mea nui: ko ia e kore e tika i te mea nohinohi rawa, e kore ano e tika i te mea nui.

11 i f, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful -- the true who will entrust to you?

Na ki te kahore i pono ta koutou mahi ki te taonga he, ma wai e tuku ki a koutou hei tiaki i te taonga pono?

12 a nd if in the other's ye became not faithful -- your own, who shall give to you?

Ki te kahore koutou i pono i te mea a te tangata ke, ma wai e hoatu he mea ma koutou ake ki a koutou?

13 ` No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'

E kore e ahei i te pononga te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e ahei i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.

14 A nd also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

A ko nga Parihi, he hunga apoapo moni, i rongo ki enei mea katoa: a ka whakahi ratou ki a ia.

15 a nd he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, abomination before God;

Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ko koutou te hunga e whakatikatika ana i a koutou ano i te aroaro o nga tangata; ko te Atua ia e matau ana ki o koutou ngakau: ko te mea hoki e whakanuia ana e nga tangata hei mea whakarihariha i te aroaro o te At ua.

16 t he law and the prophets till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;

I tutuki te ture me nga poropiti ki a Hoani: no reira i kauwhautia mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a taruke ana nga tangata katoa ki roto.

17 a nd it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.

Erangi te pahemotanga o te rangi, o te whenua e takoto noa ana, e kore ia tetahi tohu o te ture e taka.

18 ` Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.

Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: ki te marena tetahi te wahine kua whakarere e te tangata, e puremu ana ia.

19 ` And -- a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,

Na tera tetahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kakahu papura ona, he rinena pai, a ko tana mahi he kai tonu i nga kai papai i nga ra katoa:

20 a nd there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

Na ka whakatakotoria ki tona kuwaha tetahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tuwhenua,

21 a nd desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

E hiahia ana hoki kia whangaia ki nga kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tepu a te tangata taonga; a ko nga kuri rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ona mate.

22 ` And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

Nawai a ka mate te tangata rawakore, a kawea ana e nga anahera ki te uma o Aperahama: a ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, a tanumia ana;

23 a nd in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

A i te reinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Aperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tona uma.

24 a nd having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

Na ka karanga ia, ka mea, E pa, e Aperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tona matihao ki te wai, hei whakamatao i toku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tenei mura.

25 ` And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

Otira ka mea a Aperahama, E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe au mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia nga mea i a Raharuhi: na ka whakamarietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe.

26 a nd besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.

Haunga ano enei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapumau tetahi tawha nui i waenganui o koutou, o matou: a ki te mea etahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e ahei; e kore ano e whiti mai i kona ki a matou.

27 ` And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,

Ano ra ko tera, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pa, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o toku papa:

28 f or I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

Tokorima hoki oku teina; kia korero ai ia ki a ratou, kei haere mai hoki ratou ki tenei wahi mamae.

29 ` Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kei a ratou ra a Mohi ratou ko nga poropiti; me whakarongo ki a ratou.

30 a nd he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.

Ka mea ia, Kahore, e pa, e Aperahama: engari ki te haere atu tetahi ki a ratou o te hunga mate, ka ripeneta ratou.

31 A nd he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ki te kore ratou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki nga poropiti hoki, e kore ano e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.
