¹And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,

¹¶ Na ka korero ia i tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou mo tenei, kia inoi ratou i nga wa katoa, kia kaua e ngoikore;

²saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:

²I mea ia, I tetahi pa tera tetahi kaiwhakawa, he tangata kihai nei i wehi ki te Atua, kihai ano i hopohopo ki te tangata:

³and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.

³I taua pa ano tetahi pouaru; a ka haere mai tera ki a ia, ka mea, Takitakina toku mate i toku hoa tauwhainga.

⁴And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,

⁴A he roa kihai ia i pai: muri iho ka mea ia i roto i a ia, Ahakoa kahore ahau e wehi ki te Atua, e hopohopo ki te tangata:

⁵at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.

⁵Heoi ka porearea ahau i te pouaru nei, na ka takitakina e ahau tona mate, kei haere tonu mai ka mate ahau i te hoha.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

⁶Ka mea te Ariki, Whakarongo ki ta te kaiwhakawa kino i mea ra.

⁷And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

⁷A e kore ranei te Atua e ngaki i te mate o ana tangata i whiriwhiri ai, e karanga nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, ahakoa whakaroa noa ia ki a ratou?

⁸I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

⁸Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ka hohoro ia te takitaki i to ratou mate. Otira ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata, e rokohina mai ranei e ia he whakapono i runga i te whenua?

⁹And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:

⁹¶ Na ka korero ano ia i tenei kupu whakarite ki etahi, i whakamanawa nei ki a ratou ano he tika, i whakakorekore ki era atu katoa:

¹⁰Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.

¹⁰Tokorua nga tangata i haere ki te temepara ki te inoi; he Parihi tetahi, ko tetahi he pupirikana.

¹¹The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

¹¹Tu ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tana karakia tenei, E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, no te mea kahore ahau e rite ki era atu tangata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, puremu, moku hoki te rite ki tenei pupirikana.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.

¹²Takirua aku nohoanga pukutanga i te wiki, e hoatu ana e ahau te wahi whakatekau o aku mea katoa.

¹³And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.

¹³Ko te pupirikana ia i tu mai i tawhiti, kihai i mea kia anga ake ona kanohi ki te rangi, heoi patuki ana ki tona uma, ka mea, E te Atua, tohungia ahau, te tangata hara.

¹⁴I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

¹⁴Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Nui atu te tika o tenei i to tera i te hokinga ki tona whare: ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.

¹⁵And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.

¹⁵¶ Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia a ratou tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otiia, no te kitenga o ana akonga, ka riria atu ratou.

¹⁶But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Otira ka karangatia atu ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tukua nga tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

¹⁷Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁷He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore rawa ia e tomo ki roto.

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life?

¹⁸¶ Na ka ui tetahi rangatira ki a ia, ka mea, E te kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?

¹⁹But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.

¹⁹Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, he aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.

²⁰Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

²⁰E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.

²¹And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.

²¹Na ka mea ia, Kua rite i ahau enei katoa no toku tamarikitanga ake.

²²And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

²²A, i te rongonga Ihu ki tenei, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore ano i rite i a koe: hokona au mea katoa, ka tuwha atu ma nga mea rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.

²³But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

²³Na ka rongo ia ki enei mea, ka pouri rawa; he nui hoki ona taonga.

²⁴But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

²⁴A ka kite a Ihu i a ia, ka mea, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!

²⁵for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵Erangi hoki te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira e takoto noa ana, he whakauaua rawa ia te tomo o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

²⁶And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?

²⁶Na ka mea nga kaiwhakarongo, Ko wai ra e ora?

²⁷But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

²⁷Otira i mea ia, Ko nga mea e kore e taea e te tangata, ka taea e te Atua.

²⁸And Peter said, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee.

²⁸A ka mea a Pita, Na, kua whakarerea nei e matou a matou nei mea, a kua aru i a koe.

²⁹And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

²⁹Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata i whakarere, he whare, he wahine, he tuakana, he matua, he tamariki, i te whakaaro ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua,

³⁰who shall not receive manifold more at this time, and in the coming age life eternal.

³⁰E kore e riro mai i a ia i tenei wa nga mea tini noa atu, a i te ao meake puta ko te ora tonu.

³¹And he took the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;

³¹¶ A ka mau ia ki te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama, a ka rite katoa nga mea i tuhituhia e nga poropiti mo te Tama a te tangata.

³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.

³²Ka tukua hoki ia ki nga tauiwi, ka tawaia, ka whakatupuria kinotia, ka tuwhaina:

³³And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.

³³A ka oti ia te whiu, ka whakamatea: a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.

³⁴And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.

³⁴A kihai ratou i matau ki tetahi o enei mea: he mea huna hoki i a ratou tenei kupu, kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia.

³⁵And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.

³⁵¶ A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tera tetahi matapo e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana mana:

³⁶And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.

³⁶A, i tona rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, He aha tenei?

³⁷And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.

³⁷Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta e haere ana.

³⁸And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁸Katahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, E Ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

³⁹And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but *he* cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹Na ka riria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku: heoi rahi noa ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

⁴⁰And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],

⁴⁰Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia arahina mai ki a ia: a, no ka tata, ka ui ki a ia,

⁴¹What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

⁴¹Ka mea, Kia ahatia koe e ahau? Ka mea ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.

⁴²And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.

⁴²Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Titiro: na tou whakapono koe i whakaora.

⁴³And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.

⁴³A titiro tonu ake ia, a aru ana i a ia, me te whakakororia i te Atua: a, no te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.
