Te Kupu Whakarite o ngā Wāhina Tekau
1 “Nā, ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki ngā wāhina kotahi tekau, i mau i ā rātou rama, ā, haere ana ki te whakatau i te tāne mārena hou. 2 Tokorima o rātou he maharakore, tokorima he mahara. 3 Ko ngā mea maharakore i mau i ā rātou rama, kīhai ia i mau hinu. 4 Ko te hunga mahara i mau hinu atu i roto i ā rātou ipu me ā rātou rama. 5 Ka whakaroa te tāne mārena hou, ka tunewha rātou katoa, ka moe. 6 Nā, i waenganui pō, ka pā te karanga, ‘Ē, ko te tāne mārena hou! Puta mai koutou ki te whakatau i a ia.’
7 “Kātahi ka ara katoa aua wāhina, ka whakapai i ā rātou rama. 8 Nā, ka mea te hunga maharakore ki te hunga mahara, ‘Hōmai ki a mātou tētahi wāhi o tā koutou hinu; ka pirau hoki ā mātou rama.’ 9 Nā, ka whakahoki te hunga mahara, ka mea, ‘Kāhore! Kei kore e ranea mā mātou, mā koutou; engari, me haere koutou ki ngā kaihoko, hoko ai i tētahi mā koutou.’
10 “Ā, nō tō rātou haerenga atu ki te hoko, ka tae mai te tāne mārena hou; ā, tomo tahi ana me ia ki te mārena te hunga kua āta rite; ā, tūtakina ana te tatau. 11 Muri iho ka tae ērā wāhina, ka mea, ‘E te ariki, e te ariki, uakina ki a mātou.’ 12 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, ‘He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore ahau e mōhio ki a koutou.’
13 “Kia mataara rāpea koutou, e kore hoki koutou e mōhio ki te rā, ki te hāora, e puta mai ai te Tama a te tangata.”
Te Kupu Whakarite o ngā Pononga Tokotoru
(Ruka 19.11-27)
14 “Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, karangatia ana e ia āna pononga ake, ā, hoatu ana ki a rātou āna taonga. 15 Ki tētahi i hoatu e ia e rima taranata, ki tētahi e rua, ki tētahi kotahi; ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki tō rātou uaua; ā, haere ana ia. 16 Nā, ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei ngā taranata e rima, hokohokona ana aua mea e ia, ā, riro ana i a ia e rima atu ngā taranata. 17 Pērā anō hoki te tangata i ngā mea e rua; e rua atu i riro i a ia. 18 Ko te tangata ia i te mea kotahi, haere ana, kei te keri ki te whenua, ā, hunā ana e ia te moni a tōna ariki.
19 “Ā, roa rawa iho, ka puta te ariki o aua pononga, ka mea kia kōrerotia āna moni e rātou ki a ia. 20 Ā, ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei ngā taranata e rima, ka mauria mai e ia e rima atu ngā taranata, ā, ka mea, ‘E te ariki, e rima āu taranata i hōmai ai ki ahau; nā, e rima atu ngā taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tāpiri mō ērā.’ 21 Ka mea tōna ariki ki a ia, ‘Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tāu mahi ki ngā mea ruarua māku koe e mea hei rangatira mō ngā mea maha; uru mai koe ki te hari o tōu ariki.’
22 “Me tērā hoki i a ia nei ngā taranata e rua, ka haere mai, ka mea, ‘E te ariki, e rua āu taranata i hōmai ai ki ahau; nā, e rua atu ngā taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tāpiri mō ērā.’ 23 Ka mea tōna ariki ki a ia, ‘Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tonu tāu mahi ki ngā mea ruarua, māku koe e mea hei rangatira mō ngā mea maha; uru mai koe ki te hari o tōu ariki.’
24 “Ā, ko te haerenga mai hoki o te tangata i a ia nei te taranata kotahi, ka mea, ‘E te ariki, i mātau ahau ki a koe he tangata pakeke koe, e kokoti ana i te wāhi kīhai i ruia e koe, e kohikohi ana i te wāhi kīhai i whakatītaria e koe. 25 Nā, ka wehi ahau, ā, haere ana, hunā ana i tāu taranata ki te whenua; nā, tāu nā.’
26 “Nā, ka whakahoki tōna ariki, ka mea ki a ia, ‘Pononga kino, pononga māngere, i mātau koe e kokoti ana ahau i te wāhi kīhai i ruia e ahau, e kohikohi ana i te wāhi kīhai i whakatītaria e ahau. 27 Ko te mea tika hoki kia kawea e koe tāku moni ki ngā rangatira pēke moni, ā, ka tae mai ahau, ka riro mai tāku me ōna hua anō. 28 Ko tēnei, tangohia te taranata i a ia, hoatu ki tērā i ngā taranata kotahi tekau. 29 Ki te whai mea hoki tētahi, ka hoatu anō ki a ia, ā, ka maha atu āna; ā, ki te kāhore he mea a tētahi, ko āna mea ake ka tangohia i a ia. 30 Nā, makā te pononga huakore ki te pōuri i waho; ko te wāhi tērā o te tangi, o te tetēā o ngā niho.’ ”
Te Whakawā Whakamutunga
31 “Nā, hei te taenga mai o te Tama a te tangata me tōna korōria, rātou tahi ko ngā anahera, ko reira ia noho ai ki runga ki te torōna o tōna korōria. 32 Ā, ka whakaminea ki tōna aroaro ngā iwi katoa; ka wehea rātou e ia ētahi i ētahi, ka pērātia me te hēpara e wehe nei i ngā hipi, i ngā koati. 33 Ka whakatūria e ia ngā hipi ki tōna matau, ko ngā koati ki mauī.
34 “Kātahi, te Kīngi ka mea ki te hunga i tōna matau, ‘Haere mai, e te hunga whakapai a tōku Matua, nohoia te rangatiratanga kua rite noa ake mō koutou nō te orokohanganga rā anō o te ao. 35 I hiakai hoki ahau, ā, whāngainga ana e koutou. I matewai ahau, ā, whakainumia ana e koutou; he manene ahau, ā, whakamanuhiritia ana e koutou. 36 I tū tahanga, ā, whakakākahuria ana e koutou; he tūroro, ā, tirotirohia ana ahau e koutou; i te whare herehere ahau, ā, haere mai ana koutou ki ahau.’
37 “Nā, ka whakahoki te hunga tika ki a ia, ka mea, ‘E te Ariki, nōnahea mātou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, ā, whāngai ana i a koe? E mate ana rānei i te wai, ā, whakainu ana i a koe? 38 Nōnahea mātou i kite ai i a koe e manene ana, ā, whakamanuhiri ana i a koe? E tū tahanga ana rānei, ā, whakakākahu ana i a koe? 39 Nōnahea hoki mātou i kite ai i a koe e tūroro ana, i te whare herehere rānei, ā, haere ana ki a koe?’ 40 Ko reira whakahoki ai te Kīngi, mea ai ki a rātou, ‘He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ko tā koutou i mea ai ki tētahi o āku tēina, ahakoa ki te iti rawa, he meatanga tēnā ki ahau.’
41 “Ko reira ia kī atu ai ki te hunga i te taha ki mauī, ‘Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga ka oti nei te kanga, ki te ahi kā tonu, kua kā noa ake mō te rēwera rātou ko āna anahera. 42 I hiakai hoki ahau, ā, kīhai i whāngainga e koutou; i mate i te wai, ā, kīhai i whakainumia e koutou. 43 He manene ahau, ā, kīhai i whakamanuhiritia e koutou. I tū tahanga, ā, kīhai i whakakākahuria e koutou; he tūroro ahau, i te whare herehere, ā, kīhai koutou i tirotiro i ahau.’
44 “Ko reira anō rātou whakahoki ai ki a ia, mea ai, ‘E te Ariki, nōnahea mātou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, e matewai ana, e manene ana, e tū tahanga ana, e tūroro ana, i te whare herehere rānei, ā, kīhai i mahi mea māu?’ 45 Ko reira whakahoki ai ia ki a rātou, mea ai, ‘He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, I te mea kīhai nei i meatia e koutou ki tētahi o ngā nonohi rawa nei, inā, kīhai i meatia ki ahau.’ 46 Nā, ko ēnei e haere ki te whiu utu hara kāhore nei ōna mutunga; ko te hunga tika ia ki te ora tonu.”
