1 A ka tomo ia, a tika ana ra waenganui o Heriko,

2 Na ko tetahi tangata, ko Hakiaha te ingoa i huaina ai, he rangatira pupirikana, he tangata taonga ano:

3 I whai ia kia kite i a Ihu he pehea ranei ia: heoi kihai i taea ia i te mano, he tangata poto hoki.

4 Na ka oma ia ki mua, a kake ana ki tetahi hokamora, kia kite i a ia: meake hoki ia tika ra reira.

5 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki taua wahi, ka titiro ake, ka mea ki a ia, E Hakiaha, kia hohoro te heke iho; me noho hoki ahau ki tou whare aianei.

6 A hohoro tonu tona heke iho, a ka koa ki a ia hei manuhiri mana.

7 A, i to ratou kitenga, ka amuamu katoa, ka mea, Kua riro ia ki te tangata hara noho ai.

8 Na ka tu a Hakiaha, ka mea ki te Ariki, E te Ariki, na e hoatu ana e ahau te hawhe o aku taonga ki te hunga rawakore; a, ki te mea kua riro he mai i ahau te mea a tetahi, ka takiwhatia e ahau taku utu.

9 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, Nonaianei te ora i tae mai ai ki tenei whare, he tama nei hoki ia na Aperahama.

10 I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te rapu, ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.

11 A, i a ratou e whakarongo ana ki enei mea, ka korerotia ano e ia tetahi kupu whakarite, no te mea e tata ana ia ki Hiruharama, e mea ana hoki ratou, ko taua wa pu ano whakakitea ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

12 Na reira ia ka mea, I haere tetahi rangatira nui ki tetahi whenua mamao, kia riro mai i a ia tetahi rangatiratanga, ka hoki mai ai.

13 Kotahi tekau ana pononga i karangatia e ia, kotahi tekau nga pauna i hoatu e ia ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Mahia enei, kia hoki mai ra ano ahau.

14 Otira i kino tona iwi ki a ia, ka tono karere i muri i a ia, ka mea, E kore matou e pai ki tenei hei kingi mo matou.

15 A, i tona hokinga mai, kua riro mai hoki i a ia te rangatiratanga, ka mea kia karangatia ki a ia aua pononga, i hoatu nei e ia te moni ki a ratou, kia kite ai ia i ta tetahi, i ta tetahi i mahi ai.

16 Ka tae mai to mua, ka mea, E te ariki, ka ngahuru nga pauna kua mahia ki tau pauna.

17 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ka pai, e te pononga pai: pono tonu tau mahi i te mea nohinohi rawa, na, hei rangatira koe mo nga pa kotahi tekau.

18 A, ko te haerenga mai o te tuarua, ka mea, E te ariki, e rima nga pauna kua mahia ki tau pauna.

19 Ka mea ia ki tenei, Hei rangatira ano koe mo nga pa e rima.

20 Na, ko te haerenga mai o tetahi, ka mea, E te ariki, na, tau pauna: i te rongoa hoki i ahau i roto i te tauera:

21 I mataku hoki ahau i a koe, no te mea he tangata uaua koe: e tango ana koe i te mea kihai i whakatakotoria iho e koe, e kokoti ana i te mea kihai i ruia e koe.

22 Na, ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Kei ta tou mangai he whakaheanga maku i a koe, e te pononga kino. I mohio koe he tangata uaua ahau, e tango ana i te mea kihai i whakatakotoria e ahau, e kokoti ana i te mea kihai i ruia e ahau:

23 He aha koe te hoatu ai i taku moni ki te peeke, penei kua riro mai taua mea i ahau, me ona hua ano, i toku taenga mai?

24 Na ka mea ia ki te hunga e tu tata ana, Tangohia te pauna i a ia, hoatu hoki ki tera i nga pauna kotahi tekau.

25 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te ariki kotahi nei tekau ana pauna.

26 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whai mea tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia; ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko ana mea ake ka tangohia i a ia.

27 Tena ko aua hoariri oku kihai nei i pai ki ahau hei kingi mo ratou, arahina mai ki konei, ka patu ki toku aroaro.

28 A, no ka mutu enei korero, ka turia atu e ia ki mua, ka haere ki Hiruharama.

29 A, no ka tata ia ki Petapaki, ki Petani, ki te maunga e kiia nei ko to nga Oriwa, na tokorua ana akonga i tonoa e ia.

30 I mea ia, Haere korua ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; a, no ka tomo atu, ka kite korua i tetahi kuao kaihe e here ana, he mea kahore ano i nohoia noatia e te tangata: wetekina, arahina mai.

31 Ki te mea hoki tetahi ki a korua, He aha i wetekina ai e korua? kia penei ta korua ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mona.

32 Na, haere atu ana te hunga i tonoa, rokohanga atu, rite tonu ki tana i korero ai ki a raua.

33 Na, i a raua e wewete ana i te kuao, ka mea ona rangatira ki a raua, He aha korua ka wewete ai i te kuao na?

34 Na ko ta raua meatanga atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mona.

35 Na ka arahina ia ki a Ihu: a panga iho e raua o raua kakahu ki runga ki te kuao, whakanohoia ana a Ihu ki runga.

36 A, i a ia e haere ana, ka wharikitia o ratou kakahu ki te huarahi.

37 A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki te heketanga o Maunga Oriwa, ka koa te huihui katoa o nga akonga, ka anga ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua, he nui hoki te reo, mo nga merekara katoa i kite ai ratou;

38 Ka mea, Ka whakapaingia te Kingi e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki: he rongo mau ki runga ki te rangi, he kororia ki runga rawa.

39 Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi i roto i te mano ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, riria au akonga.

40 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, me i noho puku enei, kua karanga ake nga kamaka.

41 A, no ka tata ia, ka kite i te pa, ka tangihia e ia.

42 Ka mea ia, Me i mohio koe, a koe ano, ahakoa i tenei ra nei ano ou, ki nga mea e mau ai tou rongo! ko tenei kua huna atu i ou kanohi.

43 Tera hoki e tae mai nga ra ki a koe, e hanga ai e ou hoariri he parepare mou a taka noa, a ka karapotia koe, ka kopania hoki i nga taha katoa.

44 A ka whakahoroa koe ki raro, me au tamariki i roto i a koe; e kore ano e waiho tetahi kamaka i runga i tetahi kamaka i roto i a koe; no te mea kihai koe i matau ki te wa i tirohia ai koe.

45 A ka tomo ia ki te temepara, ka anga ka pei ki waho i te hunga i reira e hoko ana.

46 Ka mea ki a ratou, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Ko toku whare hei whare inoi: a kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.

47 A whakaako ana ia i te temepara i ia ra, i a ra. Otiia ka rapu nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi me nga rangatira o te iwi kia whakangaromia ia;

48 Heoi kihai i kitea ta ratou e mea ai: no te mea e u ana nga tangata katoa ki a ia, e whakarongo ana.

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
