1¶ A, ka oti te karanga e ia ana akonga tekau ma rua, ka hoatu ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke, hei whakaora hoki i nga mate katoa me nga turorotanga katoa.
1And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
2Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga apotoro kotahi tekau ma rua; te tuatahi ko Haimona, e kiia nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru; ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani;
2And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3Ko Piripi raua ko Patoromu; ko Tamati raua ko Matiu pupirikana; ko Hemi tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu;
3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
4Ko Haimona Kanaani raua ko Hura Ikariote, nana nei ia i tuku.
4Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
5¶ Ko tenei tekau ma rua i tonoa e Ihu, i ako ia i a ratou, i mea, Kaua e haere ki tetahi ara o nga tauiwi, kaua ano hoki e tomo ki tetahi pa o nga Hamari:
5These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, `To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
6Engari me haere ki nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.
6and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7Me kauwhau haere hoki, me ki, Kua tata te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
7`And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
8Whakaorangia nga turoro, meinga kia ma nga repera, whakaarahia nga tupapaku, peia nga rewera; ka riro noa nei i a koutou, me hoatu noa e koutou.
8infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
9Kaua he koura ma koutou, kaua he hiriwa, kaua he parahi ki roto ki o koutou whitiki;
9`Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
10Kaua ano he putea mo te ara; kaua e takiruatia nga koti, kaua he hu, kaua ano he tokotoko; ka ea hoki i te kaimahi tana kai.
10nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
11A, ka tomo koutou ki tetahi pa, ki tetahi kainga ranei, ui atu, ko wai te tangata pai o reira; a hei reira noho ai a haere noa.
11`And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
12A, no ka tomo ki tetahi whare, me oha atu.
12And coming to the house salute it,
13A, ki te pai te whare, kia tau ta koutou rangimarie ki reira; a, ki te kahore e pai, kia hoki ta koutou rangimarie ki a koutou.
13and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
14Ki te kahore hoki tetahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou kupu, ka haere koutou ki waho o taua whare, o taua pa ranei, ka whakangahoro i te puehu o o koutou waewae.
14`And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
15He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma raua ko Komora a te ra whakawa e mama i to taua pa.
15verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16¶ Nana, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau ano he hipi ki roto ki nga wuruhi: na, kia rite ki te nakahi te mahara, ki te kukupa hoki te mahaki.
16`Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
17Kia tupato ia i nga tangata: tera hoki koutou e tukua e ratou ki nga runanga, a tera koutou e whiua i roto i o ratou whare karakia;
17And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
18A ka kawea koutou ki nga kawana, ki nga kingi, mo te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou, ki nga tauiwi hoki.
18and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19A, no ka tukua koutou e ratou, kaua e manukanuka ki te pehea, ki te aha, e korero ai koutou; ka hoatu ki a koutou i taua wa ta koutou e korero ai.
19`And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
20Ehara hoki i a koutou nga korero, engari ko te Wairua o to koutou Matua te korero ana i roto i a koutou.
20for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
21Na ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tama hoki e te papa; ka whakatika nga tamariki ki nga matua, ka mea kia whakamatea.
21`And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
22A ka kinongia koutou e nga tangata katoa, he mea hoki mo toku ingoa; ko te tangata ia e u ana a taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia.
22and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
23Na, ki te whakatoia koutou i tenei pa, rere atu ki tetahi: he pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e poto i a koutou nga pa o Iharaira te haere, ko te Tama a te tangata kua tae mai.
23`And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
24Kahore e nui ake te akonga i tona kaiwhakaako, kahore hoki te pononga e nui ake i tona rangatira.
24`A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
25Heoi ma te akonga ko ia kia rite ki tona kaiwhakaako, ma te pononga kia rite ki tona rangatira. Ki te kiia e ratou te rangatira o te whare ko Perehepura, tera noa ake ta ratou mo nga tangata o tona whare.
25sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
26Na kaua e wehi i a ratou: kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; he mea ranei i huna e mahue te mohio.
26`Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
27Ko taku e korero nei ki a koutou i te pouri, me korero e koutou i te marama: ko ta o koutou taringa e rongo ai, me kauwhau ki runga i nga whare.
27that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
28A kaua e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, a e kore nei e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ia ko ta koutou e wehi ai, ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua tahi ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena.
28`And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna.
29Kahore ianei e hokona nga pihoihoi e rua ki te patene kotahi? a, ki te kahore to koutou Matua e mea, e kore tetahi o raua e taka ki te whenua:
29`Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
30Otiia ko nga makawe o o koutou matenga kua oti katoa te tatau.
30and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
31No reira kaua e wehi: erangi ra koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.
31be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
32Na, ki te whakaae tetahi ki ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakaaetia ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.
32`Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
33A, ki te whakakahore tetahi i ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakakahoretia hoki ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.
33and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
34Kei mea i haere mai ahau ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie ki te whenua: kihai ahau i haere mai ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie, engari i te hoari.
34`Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
35I haere mai hoki ahau ki te mea i te tangata kia whawhai ki tona papa, i te tamahine ki tona whaea, i te hunaonga wahine ki tona hungawai wahine:
35for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
36A ko o te tangata hoariri ko nga tangata ano o tona whare.
36and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
37Ki te nui ake te aroha o tetahi ki tona papa, whaea ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku; ki te nui ake hoki te aroha o tetahi ki tana tama, tamahine ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.
37`He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
38Ki te kore hoki tetahi e mau ki tona ripeka, e aru i muri i ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.
38and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39Ko te tangata i whiwhi ki te ora e mate ano ia: a, kite mate tetahi mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka whiwhi ano ia ki te ora.
39`He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
40Ki te manako tetahi ki a koutou, e manako ana ia ki ahau, a, ki te manako tetahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki toku kaitono mai.
40`He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
41Ki te manako tetahi ki te poropiti i runga i te ingoa o te poropiti, ka riro i a ia te utu o te poropiti; a, ki te manako tetahi ki te tangata tika i runga i te ingoa o te tangata tika, e riro i a ia te utu o te tangata tika.
41he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet`s reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man`s reward,
42A, ki te whakainumia e tetahi tetahi o enei mea nonohi, ahakoa kotahi ano te kapu wai matao, i runga i te ingoa o te akonga, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore rawa ia e hapa i tona utu.
42and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.`
