¹And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

¹¶ A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ki Petapaki, ki Petani, a ka tae ki Maunga Oriwa, tokorua ana akonga i tonoa e ia,

²And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

²A i mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua: e tomo kau ki reira, ka kite korua i tetahi kuao e here ana, kahore ano kia nohoia e te tangata; wetekina, arahina mai.

³And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

³A ki te ki mai tetahi tangata ki a korua, He aha tenei ka meinga ai e korua? ka mea atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mana: na ka tukua tonutia mai ki konei.

⁴And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

⁴Na haere ana raua, ka kite i te kuao e here ana ki te kuwaha i waho i te ara; a wetekina ana e raua.

⁵And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

⁵A ka mea etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira ki a raua, he aha ta korua e wewete na i te kuao?

⁶And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

⁶Na ka korerotia e raua ki a ratou ta Ihu i mea ai: a tukua ana raua e ratou.

⁷And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

⁷Ka arahina te kuao ki a Ihu, na wharikitia ana o raua kakahu ki runga ki a ia; a noho ana ia i runga.

⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁸Na he tokomaha i whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara: ko etahi i kokoti i nga manga o nga rakau, wharikitia ana ki te ara.

⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

⁹Ko te hunga i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, i karanga, i mea, Ohana: Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki:

¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

¹⁰Ka whakapaingia te rangatiratanga e haere mai ana, te rangatiratanga o to tatou matua o Rawiri: Ohana i runga rawa.

¹¹And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹Na ka tomo a Ihu ki Hiruharama, ki roto hoki ki te temepara: a, ka mutu tana tirotiro i nga mea katoa, ko te wa hoki o te ahiahi, ka haere ratou ko te tekau ma rua ki Petani.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

¹²¶ Na, i te aonga ake, i a ratou kua puta i Petani, ka hiakai ia:

¹³And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

¹³A, i tona kitenga i tetahi piki i tawhiti, he rau ona, ka haere ia, me kore e kitea tetahi mea i runga: a, no tona taenga, kihai i kitea e ia tetahi mea, he rau anake: ehara hoki i te wa o te piki.

¹⁴And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

¹⁴Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea ki taua rakau, Kaua rawa te tangata e kai i tetahi hua ou ake tonu atu; me te whakarongo ano ana akonga.

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

¹⁵A ka tae ratou ki Hiruharama: na ka tomo a Ihu ki te temepara, ka anga ki te pei ki waho i te hunga e hoko atu ana, e hoko mai ana i roto i te temepara, a whakatahuritia ake nga tepu o nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me nga nohoanga o nga kaihoko k ukupa;

¹⁶And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

¹⁶A kihai i tukua e ia kia mauria tetahi oko e te tangata ra te temepara.

¹⁷And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁷A i whakaako ia, i mea ki a ratou, Kahore koia i tuhituhia, Ka kiia toku whare he whare inoi mo nga tauiwi katoa? otiia kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.

¹⁸And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

¹⁸I rongo hoki nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi, a ka rapu ki te pehea e whakangaromia ai ia: i mataku hoki ratou i a ia, no te mea i miharo te mano katoa ki tana ako.

¹⁹And when even was come, he went out of the city.

¹⁹A i nga ahiahi ka haere ia ki waho o te pa.

²⁰And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

²⁰A, i te ata i a ratou e haere ana, ka kite i te piki, kua maroke ake i nga pakiaka.

²¹And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

²¹Na ka mahara a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, na, te piki i kanga ra e koe, kua maroke.

²²And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

²²Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia mau te whakapono ki te Atua.

²³For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

²³He pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te mea tetahi ki tenei maunga, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakataka ki te moana: e kore hoki e ruarua tona ngakau, engari ka whakapono ia tera e puta mai nga mea i kiia e ia; ka whiwhi ia ki tana i mea ai.

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

²⁴Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga mea katoa e tono ai koutou ina inoi, me whakapono ka riro mai i a koutou, a ka whiwhi koutou.

²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁵A, ka tu koutou, ka karakia, ki te mea he take riri ta koutou ki tetahi, murua: kia murua ai hoki o koutou he e to koutou Matua i te rangi.

²⁶But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

²⁶Na ki te kore koutou e muru, e kore ano to koutou Matua i te rangi e muru i o koutou he.

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

²⁷¶ Na ka tae ano ratou ki Hiruharama: a, i a ia e haereere ana i te temepara, ka haere mai ki a ia nga tohunga nui, me nga karaipi, me nga kaumatua:

²⁸And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁸Ka mea ki a ia, Tena, te mana i meatia ai enei mea e koe? na wai hoki tenei mana i hoatu ki a koe, i mea ai koe i enei mea?

²⁹And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁹Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku hoki e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, ma koutou e whakahoki mai ki ahau, katahi ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

³⁰Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no te rangi, no te tangata ranei? korerotia mai ki ahau.

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

³¹A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; ka mea ia, ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?

³²But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

³²A ki te mea tatou, No te tangata; ka mataku ratou i te iwi: ki ta ratou katoa hoki he poropiti pono a Hoani.

³³And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

³³Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a Ihu, Kahore matou e matau. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
