¹And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

¹¶ A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Oriwa, ka tonoa atu e Ihu nga akonga tokorua,

²Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

²Ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; na ka kite tonu korua i tetahi kaihe e here ana me tana kuao: wetekia, ka arahi mai ki ahau.

³And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

³A, ki te whai kupu tetahi tangata ki a korua, ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a raua mana; na ka tukua tonutia mai raua e ia.

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

⁴I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,

⁵Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

⁵Mea atu ki te tamahine o Hiona, Na, ko tou kingi e haere mai na ki a koe, he ngakau mahaki tona, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao hoki, i te tama a te kaihe.

⁶And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

⁶Na haere ana nga akonga, meatia ana ta Ihu i mea ai ki a raua.

⁷And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

⁷Arahina mai ana te kaihe me te kuao, wharikitia ana ki runga o raua kakahu, a noho ana ia ki runga.

⁸And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁸A he nui rawa te hui ki te whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara; ko etahi i tapahi manga mai i nga rakau, a wharikitia ana ki te ara.

⁹And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

⁹Ko nga mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri: Ka whakapaingia tenei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; Ohana i runga rawa.

¹⁰And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

¹⁰A, no ka uru ia ki Hiruharama, ka oho katoa te pa, ka mea, Ko wai tenei?

¹¹And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

¹¹Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.

¹²And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

¹²¶ A ka tomo a Ihu ki te temepara o te Atua, na peia katoatia ana e ia te hunga e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana i roto i te temepara, turakina ake nga tepu a nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me nga nohoanga o te hunga hoko kukupa,

¹³And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹³A ka mea ki a ratou, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Ka kiia toku whare he whare inoi; heoi kua oti nei te mea e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.

¹⁴And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

¹⁴A i haere mai ki a ia ki roto ki te temepara nga matapo me nga kopa; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.

¹⁵And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

¹⁵No te kitenga ia o nga tohunga nui, o nga karaipi i nga mea whakamiharo i meatia e ia, i nga tamariki hoki e karanga ana i te temepara, e mea ana, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri; ka riri ratou,

¹⁶And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

¹⁶Ka mea ki a ia, E rongo ana koe ki ta enei e mea nei? Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ae ra; kiano koutou i kite noa, Pumau tonu i a koe te whakamoemiti a te waha o nga kohungahunga, o nga mea ngote u?

¹⁷And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

¹⁷A ka mahue ratou i a ia, haere ana ia ki waho o te pa, ki Petani; a moe ana i reira.

¹⁸Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

¹⁸¶ Na, i te ata, i a ia e hoki ana ki te pa, ka hiakai ia.

¹⁹And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

¹⁹A, i tona kitenga i tetahi piki i te taha o te ara, ka haere ia ki taua rakau, heoi kihai i kitea tetahi mea i runga, he rau anake; ka mea ia ki te rakau, Kei whai hua koe a ake ake. A maroke tonu ake te piki.

²⁰And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

²⁰A, no te kitenga o nga akonga, ka miharo, ka mea, I peheatia i hohoro ai te maroke o te piki nei?

²¹Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

²¹Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Me he whakapono to koutou, kahore i ruarua te whakaaro, e kore e meatia e koutou ko tenei anake i meatia nei ki te piki, engari ahakoa mea noa koutou ki tenei maunga, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakataka ki te moana; ka meatia.

²²And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²²Ko nga mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina inoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou.

²³And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²³¶ A, ka tae ia ki roto ki te temepara, ka haere mai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua o te iwi, i a ia ano e ako ana, a ka mea, Tena koa te mana i meatia ai enei mea e koe? na wai i hoatu tenei mana ki a koe?

²⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁴Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, ki te korerotia e koutou ki ahau, maku hoki e korero ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.

²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

²⁵Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no hea koia? no te rangi, no nga tangata ranei? A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; e mea mai ia ki a tatou, Ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?

²⁶But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁶A, ki te mea tatou, No nga tangata; ka wehi tatou i te mano; ki ta ratou katoa hoki he poropiti a Hoani.

²⁷And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Ihu, ka mea, Kahore matou e mohio. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.

²⁸But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

²⁸¶ Na e pehea ana to koutou whakaaro? Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata; a ka haere ia ki to mua, ka mea, E tama, haere ki te mahi aianei ki taku mara waina.

²⁹He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

²⁹Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e pai: otira i muri iho ka puta ke tona whakaaro a haere ana.

³⁰And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

³⁰A ka haere mai ia ki te tuarua, ka pera ano tana kupu. No ka whakahoki tera, ka mea, E kara, ka haere ahau: a kihai i tae.

³¹Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³¹Ko wai o taua tokorua i mea i ta tona matua i pai ai? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko to mua. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau e tika ana i mua i a koutou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

³²For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

³²I haere hoki a Hoani ki a koutou ra te ara o te tika, a kihai koutou i whakapono ki a ia: tena ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau i whakapono ki a ia: ko koutou ia, i to koutou kitenga, kihai i puta ke o koutou whakaaro i muri, kihai i whaka pono ki a ia.

³³Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

³³¶ Whakarongo ki tetahi atu kupu whakarite: Tera tetahi rangatira whare i whakato i te mara waina, a taiepatia ana a taka noa, keria ana e ia te takahanga waina i roto, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, a haere ana ia ki tawhiti:

³⁴And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

³⁴A, no ka tata te po hua, ka tonoa e ia ana pononga ki nga kaimahi, ki te tiki i ona hua.

³⁵And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵Na ka mau nga kaimahi ki ana pononga, whiua ana tetahi, whakamatea ana tetahi, a akina ana tetahi ki te kohatu.

³⁶Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

³⁶Na ka tonoa ano e ia etahi atu pononga, he tokomaha atu i o mua: heoi i peratia ano ratou.

³⁷But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

³⁷Na, muri rawa iho, ka tono ia i tana tama ki a ratou, i mea ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.

³⁸But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

³⁸No te kitenga ia o nga kaimahi i te tama, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, ka tango i tona kainga.

³⁹And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

³⁹Na ka maru ratou ki a ia, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina, a whakamatea iho.

⁴⁰When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

⁴⁰Na, ina tae te rangatira o te mara waina, ka peheatia e ia aua kaimahi?

⁴¹They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Pouriuri ana aianei tana whakangaro i taua hunga whakarihariha; a ka tukua te mara waina ki etahi atu kaimahi, ki te hunga e tukua ai ki a ia nga hua i nga po hua.

⁴²Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

⁴²Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa i roto i nga karaipiture, ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei mo te kokonga: na te Ariki tenei, he mea whakamiharo hoki ki o tatou kanohi?

⁴³Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

⁴³Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangohia te rangatiratanga o te Atua i a koutou, a ka hoatu ki tetahi iwi, e puta ai nga hua o taua rangatiratanga.

⁴⁴And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

⁴⁴Ko te tangata e hinga ki runga ki tenei kohatu, na mongamonga ana ia: ki te taka ia taua kohatu ki runga ki tetahi, na ngotangota noa ia me he puehu.

⁴⁵And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

⁴⁵A, ka rongo nga tohunga nui me nga Parihi ki ana kupu whakarite, ka mohio mo ratou ana korero.

⁴⁶But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

⁴⁶Na, i a ratou e whai ana kia hopukia ia, ka wehi i te mano, ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.
