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,

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

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.

²and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:

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.

³and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.`

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.

⁴And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

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?

⁵and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye — loosing the colt?`

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

⁶and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

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

⁷And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

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.

⁸and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

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:

⁹And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

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

¹⁰blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.`

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.

¹¹And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

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

¹²And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,

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.

¹³and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

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.

¹⁴and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;` and his disciples were hearing.

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;

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,

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

¹⁶and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

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.

¹⁷and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written — My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?`

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.

¹⁸And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

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

¹⁹and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

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

²⁰And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

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

²¹and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.`

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

²²And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

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.

²³for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

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.

²⁴Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

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.

²⁵`And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

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

²⁶and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.`

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:

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

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?

²⁸and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?`

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.

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you — I also — one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

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

³⁰the baptism of John — from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.`

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?

³¹And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

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

³²But if we may say, From men,` — they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

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.

³³and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;` and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.`
