1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2 and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 But he answering said {to them}, Have ye not read that he who made {them}, from the beginning made them male and female,
5 and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send {her} away?
8 He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12 for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from {their} mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive {it}, let him receive {it}.
13 Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15 and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16 And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?
17 And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to {the} poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
25 And when the disciples heard {it} they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus, looking on {them}, said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That *ye* who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, *ye* also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.
30 But many first shall be last, and last first.
1 A, ka mutu enei kupu a Ihu, ka turia atu e ia i Kariri, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Huria, ki tawahi atu o Horano;
2 He rahi hoki te hui i aru i a ia; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i reira.
3 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine mo tetahi take?
4 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa, i hanga raua e te Kaihanga i te timatanga, he tane, he wahine,
5 I mea ano ia, Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa, tona wahea, ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua?
6 Na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko. Na ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.
7 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha ra a Mohi i ako ai kia hoatu he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai i a ia?
8 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tukua ai koutou e Mohi kia whakarere i a koutou wahine: i te timatanga iho ia kahore i pena.
9 A tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, ehara nei i te take moepuku, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.
10 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, Ki te penei te tikanga mo te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ehara te marena.
11 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, E kore tenei kupu e rite i nga tangata katoa, engari i te hunga i hoatu ai.
12 He unaka hoki etahi no te whanautanga mai i te kopu o te whaea: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na te tangata: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na ratou ano, he whakaaro hoki ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ki te taea tenei te whakarite e teta hi, mana e whakarite.
13 I reira ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapa ai ia i ona ringa ki a ratou, kia inoi: a riria iho ratou e nga akonga.
14 Na ko te kianga a Ihu, Tukua mai nga tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e araia atu ta ratou haere mai ki ahau: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
15 A whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ratou, a haere atu ana i reira.
16 Na ka haere mai tetahi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he aha te mahi pai maku, e whiwhi ai ahau ki te ora tonu?
17 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, He aha ka ui koe ki ahau mo te mea pai? Tera ano tetahi i pai, kotahi tonu: ki te mea koe kia tomo ki te ora, whakaritea nga ture.
18 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ko ehea? Na ka mea a Ihu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka,
19 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: me tenei, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.
20 Ka mea taua taitama ki a ia, Kua rite i ahau enei mea katoa no toku tamarikitanga: tena hoki tetahi mea e hapa ana i ahau?
21 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ou taonga, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
22 Na, ka rongo taua taitama i taua kupu, haere pouri ana ia: he maha hoki ona taonga.
23 Ka mea a Ihu ki ana akonga, He pono taku kupu ki a koutou, E tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
24 Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, He ngawari ke atu te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
25 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, nui rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea, Ko wai ra e ora?
26 Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te tangata e kore tenei e taea; ki te Atua ia e taea nga mea katoa.
27 Katahi ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Na, kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe, he aha ra ma matou?
28 Ka ki a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko koutou i aru nei i ahau, kia taea te whanautanga houtanga, te wa e noho ai te Tama a te tangata ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia, ka noho ano koutou ki runga ki etahi torona kota hi tekau ma rua, ki te whakawa i nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.
29 A, ki te mea kua mahue i tetahi he whare, he teina, he tuahine ranei, he papa, he whaea, he tamariki, he whenua, i tona whakaaro ki toku ingoa, ka tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, a ka whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu.
30 He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri ki mua.
