¹And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;

¹¶ Na i reira etahi i taua wa nana i korero ki a ia nga tangata o Kariri, i whakaranua nei o ratou toto e Pirato ki a ratou patunga tapu.

²and Jesus answering said to them, `Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

²Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E mea ana ranei koutou, he hara rawa aua tangata o Kariri i nga tangata katoa o Kariri, no te mea he pera o ratou mate?

³No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

³Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kahore; engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano hoki koutou katoa te mate.

⁴`Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?

⁴Me taua tekau ma waru i horoa nei e te pourewa o Hiroama, a mate iho, e mea ana oti koutou, he hara rawa ratou i nga tangata katoa e noho ana i hiruharama?

⁵No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.`

⁵Ko taku tenei ki a koutou, Kahore: engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano koutou katoa te mate.

⁶And he spake this simile: `A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

⁶¶ A i korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite; He piki ta tetahi tangata, he mea whakato ki tana mara waina; na ka haere mai ia, ka rapu hua i runga, a kihai i kitea.

⁷and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?

⁷Katahi ia ka mea ki te kaimahi waina, Na, ka toru enei oku tau e haere mai ana ki te rapu hua i runga i tenei piki, heoi kahore i kitea: tuaina ki raro; hei aha i maumauria ai hoki te whenua?

⁸`And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;

⁸Na ka whakahoki tera, ka mea ki a ia, E te ariki, waiho ano hoki i tenei tau, kia keria ra ano e ahau nga taha, kia maka hoki he wairakau:

⁹and if indeed it may bear fruit —; and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.`

⁹A ki te whai hua a houange, ka waiho; ki te kahore, mau e tua ki raro.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,

¹⁰¶ A i roto ia i tetahi o nga whare karakia e whakaako ana i te hapati.

¹¹and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

¹¹Na ko tetahi wahine, he wairua ngoikore tona, kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau, piko tonu, kihai rawa i ahei te whakatika ake.

¹²and Jesus having seen her, did call [her] near, and said to her, `Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;`

¹²A, no te kitenga o Ihu i a ia, ka karanga atu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E kui, ka oti tou ngoikore te whakamatara.

¹³and he laid on her [his] hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹³Na whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ia: a kihai i aha kua tika, whakakororia ana i te Atua.

¹⁴And the chief of the synagogue answering — much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed — said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth [us] to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.`

¹⁴Na, he riri nona mo Ihu i whakaora i te hapati, ka korero te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea ki te mano, E ono nga ra e tika ai te tangata te mahi: hei reira koutou haere mai ai kia whakaorangia; kauaka i te hapati.

¹⁵Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water [it]?

¹⁵Na ka whakahoki te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, E nga tangata tinihanga, e kore ianei tenei tangata, tenei tangata o koutou e wewete i tana kau i te hapati, i tana kaihe ranei, ka arahi atu ai i te turanga ki te whakainu?

¹⁶and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?`

¹⁶Kahore ranei tenei wahine, he tamahine nei na Aperahama, i herea nei e hatana i enei tau tekau ma waru, e tika kia wetekina i tona here i te ra hapati?

¹⁷And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

¹⁷A, no ka korerotia enei mea e ia, ka whakama katoa te hunga e whakahe na ki a ia: a hari katoa te mano ki nga mea kororia katoa i meinga e ia.

¹⁸And he said, `To what is the reign of God like? and to what shall I liken it?

¹⁸¶ Na ka mea ia, He rite te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? a me whakarite e ahau ki te aha?

¹⁹It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.`

¹⁹He rite ki te pua nani, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tana kari; a ka tupu, ka whakarakau; no ka noho nga manu o te rangi ki ona manga.

²⁰And again he said, `To what shall I liken the reign of God?

²⁰A i mea ano ia, Me whakarite e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha?

²¹It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.`

²¹He rite ki te rewena i tangohia e tetahi wahine, a whaongia ana ki roto ki nga mehua paraoa e toru, no ka rewenatia katoa.

²²And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;

²²A ka haereerea e ia nga pa, nga kainga, whakaako ai, me te ahu tonu ki Hiruharama.

²³and a certain one said to him, `Sir, are those saved few?` and he said unto them,

²³¶ Na ka mea tetahi ki a ia, E te Ariki, he torutoru koia te hunga e ora? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou,

²⁴`Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

²⁴Kia kaha te tohe ki te tomo ma te kuwaha kuiti: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e whai ki te tomo, a e kore e taea.

²⁵from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,

²⁵Kia whakatika kau te tangata i te whare, kia tutakina te tatau, katahi koutou ka anga ka tu i waho, ka patuki ki te tatau, ka mea, E te Ariki, uakina ki a matou; na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i mohio ki a koutou, no hea ran ei;

²⁶then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach;

²⁶Ko reira koutou timata ai te mea, Kua kai matou, kua inu i tou aroaro, i whakaako ano koe i o matou huarahi.

²⁷and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the unrighteousness.

²⁷A ka ki ano ia, Ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, kahore ahau i matau ki a koutou, no hea ranei; mawehe atu i a ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.

²⁸`There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;

²⁸Ko te wa tena o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho, ina kite koutou i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, i nga poropiti katoa, kei te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a ko koutou kua maka ki waho.

²⁹and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign of God,

²⁹A ka haere mai ratou i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, i te hauraro, i te tonga, ka noho ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

³⁰and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.`

³⁰Na, tera etahi o muri e meinga ki mua, me etahi o mua ki muri.

³¹On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, `Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;`

³¹¶ I taua haora ano ka tae mai etahi parihi, ka mea ki a ia, haere, whakarerea a konei: e hiahia ana hoki a Herora kia whakamatea koe.

³²and he said to them, `Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am being perfected;

³²Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere, mea atu ki taua pokiha, Na, tenei ahau te pei rewera nei, te mahi nei i te mahi whakaora aianei, apopo, a i te toru o nga ra ka oti taku.

³³but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.

³³Otiia me haereere ahau aianei, apopo, a tahi ra: e kore hoki e ahei kia mate he poropiti i waho o Hiruharama.

³⁴`Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.

³⁴E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe; ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro ki ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!

³⁵`Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you — ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord.`

³⁵Na, ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e mea ai koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
