Maori Bible
18 Na ka korero ia i tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou mo tenei, kia inoi ratou i nga wa katoa, kia kaua e ngoikore;
2 I mea ia, I tetahi pa tera tetahi kaiwhakawa, he tangata kihai nei i wehi ki te Atua, kihai ano i hopohopo ki te tangata:
3 I taua pa ano tetahi pouaru; a ka haere mai tera ki a ia, ka mea, Takitakina toku mate i toku hoa tauwhainga.
4 A he roa kihai ia i pai: muri iho ka mea ia i roto i a ia, Ahakoa kahore ahau e wehi ki te Atua, e hopohopo ki te tangata:
5 Heoi ka porearea ahau i te pouaru nei, na ka takitakina e ahau tona mate, kei haere tonu mai ka mate ahau i te hoha.
6 Ka mea te Ariki, Whakarongo ki ta te kaiwhakawa kino i mea ra.
7 A e kore ranei te Atua e ngaki i te mate o ana tangata i whiriwhiri ai, e karanga nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, ahakoa whakaroa noa ia ki a ratou?
8 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ka hohoro ia te takitaki i to ratou mate. Otira ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata, e rokohina mai ranei e ia he whakapono i runga i te whenua?
9 Na ka korero ano ia i tenei kupu whakarite ki etahi, i whakamanawa nei ki a ratou ano he tika, i whakakorekore ki era atu katoa:
10 Tokorua nga tangata i haere ki te temepara ki te inoi; he Parihi tetahi, ko tetahi he pupirikana.
11 Tu ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tana karakia tenei, E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, no te mea kahore ahau e rite ki era atu tangata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, puremu, moku hoki te rite ki tenei pupirikana.
12 Takirua aku nohoanga pukutanga i te wiki, e hoatu ana e ahau te wahi whakatekau o aku mea katoa.
13 Ko te pupirikana ia i tu mai i tawhiti, kihai i mea kia anga ake ona kanohi ki te rangi, heoi patuki ana ki tona uma, ka mea, E te Atua, tohungia ahau, te tangata hara.
14 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Nui atu te tika o tenei i to tera i te hokinga ki tona whare: ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.
15 Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia a ratou tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otiia, no te kitenga o ana akonga, ka riria atu ratou.
16 Otira ka karangatia atu ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tukua nga tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
17 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore rawa ia e tomo ki roto.
18 Na ka ui tetahi rangatira ki a ia, ka mea, E te kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?
19 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, he aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.
20 E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.
21 Na ka mea ia, Kua rite i ahau enei katoa no toku tamarikitanga ake.
22 A, i te rongonga Ihu ki tenei, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore ano i rite i a koe: hokona au mea katoa, ka tuwha atu ma nga mea rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
23 Na ka rongo ia ki enei mea, ka pouri rawa; he nui hoki ona taonga.
24 A ka kite a Ihu i a ia, ka mea, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!
25 Erangi hoki te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira e takoto noa ana, he whakauaua rawa ia te tomo o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
26 Na ka mea nga kaiwhakarongo, Ko wai ra e ora?
27 Otira i mea ia, Ko nga mea e kore e taea e te tangata, ka taea e te Atua.
28 A ka mea a Pita, Na, kua whakarerea nei e matou a matou nei mea, a kua aru i a koe.
29 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata i whakarere, he whare, he wahine, he tuakana, he matua, he tamariki, i te whakaaro ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua,
30 E kore e riro mai i a ia i tenei wa nga mea tini noa atu, a i te ao meake puta ko te ora tonu.
31 A ka mau ia ki te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama, a ka rite katoa nga mea i tuhituhia e nga poropiti mo te Tama a te tangata.
32 Ka tukua hoki ia ki nga tauiwi, ka tawaia, ka whakatupuria kinotia, ka tuwhaina:
33 A ka oti ia te whiu, ka whakamatea: a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.
34 A kihai ratou i matau ki tetahi o enei mea: he mea huna hoki i a ratou tenei kupu, kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia.
35 A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tera tetahi matapo e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana mana:
36 A, i tona rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, He aha tenei?
37 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta e haere ana.
38 Katahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, E Ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
39 Na ka riria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku: heoi rahi noa ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
40 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia arahina mai ki a ia: a, no ka tata, ka ui ki a ia,
41 Ka mea, Kia ahatia koe e ahau? Ka mea ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.
42 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Titiro: na tou whakapono koe i whakaora.
43 A titiro tonu ake ia, a aru ana i a ia, me te whakakororia i te Atua: a, no te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(A) 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(B) against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(C)
6 And the Lord(D) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(E) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(F) comes,(G) will he find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness(H) and looked down on everyone else,(I) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(J) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(K) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(L) twice a week and give a tenth(M) of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(N) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(O)
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(P)
The Little Children and Jesus(Q)
15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child(R) will never enter it.”
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(S)
18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(T)
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]”(U)
21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”
23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(X) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(Y)
28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(Z)
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(AA) eternal life.”(AB)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AC)
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(AD) and everything that is written by the prophets(AE) about the Son of Man(AF) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(AG) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(AH) and kill him.(AI) On the third day(AJ) he will rise again.”(AK)
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(AL)
A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(AM)
35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(AN) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(AO)
38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(AP) have mercy(AQ) on me!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(AR)
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(AS) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(AT)
