Luke 16

A i mea ano ia ki ana akonga, Tera tetahi tangata whai rawa i mua, he tuari taonga tona; a ka korerotia ki a ia kei te maumauria e ia ana taonga.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a ka mea atu ia ki a ia, He aha tenei e rangona nei e ahau mou? korerotia mai te tikanga o nga mea i tuaritia e koe; e kore hoki e ahei kia waiho koe hei tuari.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Na ko te meatanga a taua tuari i roto i a ia, Me aha ahau? e tangohia ana hoki i ahau te tuaritanga e toku ariki: e kore ahau e kaha ki te keri; e whakama ana ahau ki te tono mea maku.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

E mohio ana ahau ki taku e mea ai, mo toku peinga rawatanga atu i te tuaritanga, ka ai o ratou whare hei tukunga atu moku.

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Na ka karangatia e ia tenei tangata, tenei tangata o te hunga i a ratou nei etahi mea a tona ariki, ka mea ia ki te tuatahi, E hia nga mea a toku ariki i a koe?

So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

Na ka mea tera, Kotahi rau mehua hinu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, hohoro te noho, tuhituhia e rima tekau.

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Katahi ia ka mea ki tetahi, E hia hoki i a koe? Ka mea ia, Kotahi rau mehua witi. na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, tuhituhia e waru tekau.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

Na ka mihia te tuari kino e tona ariki, mona i whai whakaaro: Engari hoki nga tamariki o tenei ao, i to ratou whakapaparanga, nui ke te whakaaro i to nga tamariki o te marama.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Waiho te taonga kino hei mea i etahi hoa aroha mo koutou; mo te he rawa iho, ka ai he tukunga atu mo koutou ki nga whare ora tonu.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Ko ia e pono ana ki te mea nohinohi rawa, e pono ano i te mea nui: ko ia e kore e tika i te mea nohinohi rawa, e kore ano e tika i te mea nui.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Na ki te kahore i pono ta koutou mahi ki te taonga he, ma wai e tuku ki a koutou hei tiaki i te taonga pono?

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

Ki te kahore koutou i pono i te mea a te tangata ke, ma wai e hoatu he mea ma koutou ake ki a koutou?

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

E kore e ahei i te pononga te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e ahei i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

A ko nga Parihi, he hunga apoapo moni, i rongo ki enei mea katoa: a ka whakahi ratou ki a ia.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ko koutou te hunga e whakatikatika ana i a koutou ano i te aroaro o nga tangata; ko te Atua ia e matau ana ki o koutou ngakau: ko te mea hoki e whakanuia ana e nga tangata hei mea whakarihariha i te aroaro o te At ua.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

I tutuki te ture me nga poropiti ki a Hoani: no reira i kauwhautia mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a taruke ana nga tangata katoa ki roto.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Erangi te pahemotanga o te rangi, o te whenua e takoto noa ana, e kore ia tetahi tohu o te ture e taka.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: ki te marena tetahi te wahine kua whakarere e te tangata, e puremu ana ia.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Na tera tetahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kakahu papura ona, he rinena pai, a ko tana mahi he kai tonu i nga kai papai i nga ra katoa:

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Na ka whakatakotoria ki tona kuwaha tetahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tuwhenua,

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

E hiahia ana hoki kia whangaia ki nga kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tepu a te tangata taonga; a ko nga kuri rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ona mate.

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Nawai a ka mate te tangata rawakore, a kawea ana e nga anahera ki te uma o Aperahama: a ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, a tanumia ana;

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

A i te reinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Aperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tona uma.

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Na ka karanga ia, ka mea, E pa, e Aperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tona matihao ki te wai, hei whakamatao i toku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tenei mura.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Otira ka mea a Aperahama, E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe au mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia nga mea i a Raharuhi: na ka whakamarietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Haunga ano enei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapumau tetahi tawha nui i waenganui o koutou, o matou: a ki te mea etahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e ahei; e kore ano e whiti mai i kona ki a matou.

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Ano ra ko tera, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pa, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o toku papa:

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

Tokorima hoki oku teina; kia korero ai ia ki a ratou, kei haere mai hoki ratou ki tenei wahi mamae.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kei a ratou ra a Mohi ratou ko nga poropiti; me whakarongo ki a ratou.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Ka mea ia, Kahore, e pa, e Aperahama: engari ki te haere atu tetahi ki a ratou o te hunga mate, ka ripeneta ratou.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ki te kore ratou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki nga poropiti hoki, e kore ano e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
