Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō te Wāwāhinga o te Temepara
(Māka 13.1-2; Ruka 21.5-6)
1 Ā, ka puta atu a Īhu ki waho o te temepara, ka haere, nā, ka tae mai āna ākonga ki a ia kia whakakitea ki a ia ngā whare i hangā mō te temepara. 2 Otirā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kāhore ianei koutou e kite i ēnei mea katoa? He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore e toe ki konei tētahi kōhatu ki runga ake i tētahi kōhatu, engari ka whakahoroa katoatia.”
Ngā Raruraru me ngā Whakatoinga
(Māka 13.3-13; Ruka 21.7-19)
3 Ā, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Ōriwa, ka haere puku mai ngā ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, “Kōrerotia ki a mātou, ko āhea ēnei mea? He aha te tohu o tōu haerenga mai, o te mutunga hoki o te ao?”
4 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia tūpato kei māmingatia koutou e te tangata. 5 He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i tōku ingoa, e mea, ‘Ko te Karaiti ahau,’ ā, he tokomaha e whakapōhēhētia. 6 Ā, tērā koutou e rongo ki ngā pakanga, ki ngā hau kōrero pakanga; kia tūpato kei ohorere koutou; tā te mea kua rite kia puta ēnei mea katoa, taihoa ia te mutunga. 7 E whakatika hoki tētahi iwi ki tētahi iwi, tētahi rangatiratanga ki tētahi rangatiratanga; ā, e puta ngā pō matekai, ngā mate urutā, me ngā rū, ki ngā tini wāhi. 8 Otirā, ko te tīmatanga kau ēnei katoa o ngā mamae.
9 “Ko reira koutou tukua ai kia tūkinotia, ā, e whakamatea koutou; ā, e kino hoki ngā iwi katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki tōku ingoa. 10 Ā, he tokomaha e hē, ā, ka tuku tētahi i tētahi, ka kino anō tētahi ki tētahi. 11 He tokomaha anō ngā poropiti teka e whakatika, ā, he tokomaha e whakapōhēhētia e rātou. 12 Ā, i te kino ka hua, ka mātoke haere te aroha o te tini tāngata. 13 Ko te tangata ia e ū ana, ā, taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia. 14 Ā, e kauwhautia tēnei rongopai o te rangatiratanga puta noa i te ao, hei mea whakaatu ki ngā iwi katoa; ā, ko reira puta ai te mutunga.”
Te Mea Whakarihariha
(Māka 13.14-23; Ruka 21.20-24)
15 “Ā, e kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro, i kōrerotia ai e Raniera poropiti, i a ia e tū ana i te wāhi tapu.” (Kia mātau te kaititiro pukapuka.) 16 Ko reira kia rere te hunga i Hūria ki ngā maunga; 17 ko te tangata i runga i te whare kei heke iho ki te tiki mea i roto i tōna whare. 18 Kauaka anō te tangata i te māra e hoki ki te tiki i ōna kākahu. 19 Auē te mate mō te hunga e hapū ana, mō ngā mea hoki e whāngai ana ki te ū, i aua rā! 20 Me īnoi koutou kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hōtoke, i te hāpati rānei. 21 Kei taua wā, hoki te whiu nui, kāhore ōna rite mai o te tīmatanga o te ao ā mohoa noa nei, e kore anō e pērā ā mua ake nei. 22 Ā, me i kāhore aua rā i poroa i waenga, hore he kikokiko e ora; otirā, ka whakaaroa te hunga i whiriwhiria, ā, ka poroa aua rā.
23 “Ki te mea tētahi ki a koutou i reira, ‘Nā, tēnei a te Karaiti’; nā, ‘Tērā’; aua e whakaponohia. 24 E whakatika hoki ngā karaiti teka, me ngā poropiti teka, ā, ka hoatu e rātou ngā tohu nunui, me ngā mea whakamīharo; ā, mehemea e taea, ka māmingatia anō te hunga i whiriwhiria. 25 Nā, kua kōrerotia wawetia nei e ahau ki a koutou.
26 “Nā, ahakoa mea rātou ki a koutou, ‘Nā, kei te koraha ia’; aua e haere atu. ‘Nā, kei ngā rūma o roto rawa’; aua e whakaponohia. 27 Ka rite hoki ki te uira e puta mai nei i te rāwhiti, ā, hiko tonu atu ki te uru, te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata. 28 Ko te wāhi hoki i te tūpāpaku, ko reira huihui ai ngā kāhu.”
Te Haerenga Mai o te Tama a te Tangata
(Māka 13.24-27; Ruka 21.25-28)
29 “Ā muri tonu iho i te whakapāwera i aua rā,
‘Ka whakapōuritia te rā,
e kore anō e titi te atarau,
ka taka iho ngā whetū i te rangi,
ā, ka ngāueue ngā mea kaha o ngā rangi.’
30 “Ko reira anō puta ai te tohu o te Tama a te tangata i te rangi; ā, ko reira ngā iwi katoa o te whenua tangi ai, ā, e kite rātou i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i ngā kapua o te rangi me te kaha, me te korōria nui. 31 Ā, e tonoa e ia āna anahera me te tētere tangi nui, ā, ka huihuia e rātou āna i whiriwhiri ai i ngā hau e whā, i tētahi pito o te rangi puta noa i tētahi pito.”
Te Whakaakoranga mō te Rākau Piki
(Māka 13.28-31; Ruka 21.29-33)
32 “Nā, kia ākona koutou e te piki ki tētahi kupu whakarite. I tōna manga e ngāwari ana anō, ā, ka puta ōna rau, ka mōhio koutou ka tata te raumati. 33 Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i ēnei mea katoa, ka mātau koutou ka tata ia, kei ngā kūwaha tonu. 34 He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa tēnei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta katoa rā anō ēnei mea. 35 Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko āku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.”
Kāhore tētahi Tangata e Mōhio hei tēhea Rā, hei tēhea Hāora
(Māka 13.32-37; Ruka 17.26-30, 34-36)
36 “Otirā, kāhore tētahi tangata e mōhio ki taua rā, ki taua hāora, kāhore rawa ngā anahera o te rangi, kāhore te Tama a te tangata, ko tōku Matua anake. 37 Ka rite hoki ki ngā rā i a Noa te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata. 38 Ka rite hoki ki tā rātou i ngā rā i mua atu o te waipuke; e kai ana, e inu ana, e mārena ana, e hoatu ana kia mārenatia, ā tae noa ki te rā i tomo ai a Noa ki roto ki te āka, 39 ā, kāhore rātou i mōhio, ā, pakaru noa te waipuke, ā, kāhakina ana rātou katoa; e pērā anō te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata. 40 I taua wā tokorua ki te māra; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho. 41 Tokorua wāhine e huri ana i te mira; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
42 “Kia mataara rāpea; e kore hoki koutou e mōhio ki te hāora e puta mai ai tō koutou Ariki. 43 Kia mōhio ki tēnei, me i mātau te tangata o te whare ki te mataaratanga e puta ai te tāhae, kua tautīaki ia, ā, kāhore i tukua tōna whare kia pokaia. 44 Nā, kia mataara hoki koutou; nō te mea ka puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te hāora e kore ai koutou e mahara.”
Te Pononga Pono, Ponokore Rānei
(Ruka 12.41-48)
45 “Ko wai rā te pononga pono, mahara, i meinga e tōna ariki hei rangatira mō āna tāngata, hei hoatu i te kai mā rātou i te wā e tika ai? 46 Ka koa taua pononga ki te rokohanga e tōna ariki, ina haere mai, e pērā ana. 47 He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ka meinga ia hei rangatira mō ōna taonga katoa. 48 Otirā, ki te mea taua pononga kino i roto i tōna ngākau, ‘Ka roa te putanga mai o tōku ariki,’ 49 ā, ka anga, ka patu i ōna hoa pononga, ka kai, ka inu tahi me te hunga haurangi. 50 E tae mai te ariki o taua pononga i te rā e kore ai ia e mahara, i te hāora e kore ai ia e mōhio. 51 Ka hātepea pūtia ia, ka meinga he wāhi mōna i roto i te hunga tinihanga; ko te wāhi tērā o te tangi, o te tetēā o ngā niho.”
