Maori Bible
1 Na, i te mea he tokomaha kua anga ki te whakakaupapa i te korero o nga mea kua whakatutukitia nei i waenganui i a tatou,
2 He mea whakarite ki nga mea i homai ki a tatou e te hunga i kite a kanohi, i mahi hoki i te kupu,
3 Koia ahau i mahara ai, i te mea kua ata whakatakina iho e ahau nga mea katoa i te timatanga mai, kia tuhituhi whakatepe atu ki a koe, e Tiopira, e te tangata pai rawa,
4 Kia matau ai koe ki te tuturutanga o nga mea i whakaakona ai koe.
5 No mua, no nga ra o Herora kingi o Huria, tera tohunga, ko Hakaraia te ingoa, no te wiki o Apiata: ko tana wahine hoki no nga tamahine a Arona, ko Erihapeti tona ingoa.
6 He hunga tika hoki raua i te aroaro o te Atua, kahore he he o ta raua haere i runga i nga kupu ako katoa, i nga tikanga a te Ariki.
7 Na kahore a raua tamariki, he pakoko hoki a Erihapeti, a i taua wa kua maha haere rawa nga ra o tetahi, o tetahi.
8 Na tupono tonu, i a ia e mahi ana i a te tohunga mahi i te aroaro o te Atua i te takanga o tana wiki,
9 E whakarite ana i nga ritenga o nga tohunga, ka taka mana te haere ki roto ki te whare tapu o te Ariki, tahu ai te whakakakara.
10 Na i waho te nuinga katoa o te iwi e inoi ana i te haora whakakakara.
11 A ka puta mai ki a ia tetahi anahera a te Ariki e tu ana i te taha matau o te aata whakakakara.
12 Na ka ohorere a Hakaraia i tona kitenga i a ia, a tau ana te wehi ki a ia.
13 Otira ka mea te anahera ki a ia, kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia: kua rangona hoki tau inoi, a ka whanau i tau wahine, i a Erihapeti, he tama mau, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Hoani.
14 A ka whiwhi koe i te hari me te harakoa; a he tokomaha hoki e hari i tona whanautanga.
15 E nui hoki ia i te aroaro o te Atua: e kore ia e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: a ka ki ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai ano o te kopu o tona whaea.
16 He tokomaha ano hoki o nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatahuritia e ia ki te Ariki, ki to ratou Atua.
17 Ka haere ano ia i tona aroaro i runga i te wairua, i te mana, o Iraia, hei whakatahuri i nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, i te hunga whakatuturi ki nga whakaaro o te hunga tika; hei whakarite mo te Ariki i tetahi iwi i ata taka mona.
18 Na ko te meatanga a Hakaraia ki te anahera, Ma te aha ka matau ai ahau ki tenei mea? he koroheke nei hoki ahau, kua maha haere hoki nga ra o taku wahine.
19 Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ko Kapariera ahau, kei te aroaro o te Atua toku turanga; kua tonoa mai hoki ahau ki te korero ki a koe, ki te whakapuaki i tenei rongo pai ki a koe.
20 Nana, ka noho puku koe, kahore hoki e puta te korero i a koe, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e meatia ai enei mea, mou kihai i whakapono ki aku kupu, ka mana nei i te wa e rite ai.
21 A tatari tonu te iwi ki a Hakaraia, me te miharo ano i a ia e whakaroa ana i roto i te whare tapu.
22 A, i tona putanga mai ki waho, kihai ia i ahei te korero ki a ratou: a ka mohio ratou kua kite ia i tetahi putanga atua ki a ia i roto i te whare tapu: hono tonu tana waitohu ki a ratou me te wahangu ano.
23 A ka rite nga ra hei minitatanga mana, ka hoki ia ki tona whare.
24 Na muri iho i aua ra ka hapu tana wahine, a Erihapeti, a e rima nga marama i whakangaro ai i a ia, a i mea ia,
25 Ko ta te Ariki tenei i mea ai ki ahau, i nga ra i titiro mai ai ia, ki te whakamutu i toku tawainga i roto i nga tangata.
26 Na i te ono o nga marama ka tonoa a Kapariera, te anahera, e te Atua ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ko Nahareta te ingoa,
27 Ki tetahi wahine i taumautia ma tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, no te whare o Rawiri; ko te ingoa o te wahine ko Meri.
28 Na, ko tona haerenga ki roto, ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te wahine kua manakohia nei; kei a koe te Ariki: ko koe te manaakitia i roto i nga wahine.
29 Otira he nui tona oho ki taua kupu, ka whakaaroaro ki te tikanga o tenei ohatanga.
30 Na ka mea te anahera ki a ia, Kei wehi koe, e Meri; kua paingia hoki koe e te Atua.
31 Nana, tera koe e hapu, ka whanau he tama, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Ihu.
32 Ka nui ia, ka kiia hoki ko te Tama a te Runga Rawa: a ka hoatu ki a ia e te Ariki, e te Atua, te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa.
33 Hei kingi hoki ia mo te whare o Hakopa ake ake; e kore ano e mutu tona rangatiratanga.
34 Na ka mea a Meri ki te anahera, E peheatia tenei, kahore nei hoki ahau e mohio ki te tane?
35 Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ka tae te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koe, ka taumarumaru iho te kaha o te Runga Rawa ki runga ki a koe: no reira hoki ka kiia te mea e whanau mai he tapu, ko te Tama a te Atua.
36 Na, ko tou whanaunga, ko Erihapeti, kua hapu hoki ia i tona ruruhitanga, he tama; a koe te ono tenei o nga marama ki a ia, i kiia ra he pakoko.
37 Kahore hoki he kupu i ahu mai i te Atua i kore e whai mana.
38 Ano ra ko Meri, Ina, te pononga a te Ariki; kia peratia ahau me tau i korero ai. A mawehe atu ana te anahera i a ia.
39 Na ka whakatika a Meri i aua ra, a haere kaika ana ki te whenua pukepuke ki tetahi pa o Hura;
40 A ka tomo ki te whare o Hakaraia, ka oha ki a Erihapeti.
41 A, no te rongonga o Erihapeti i te oha a Meri, ka koiri te tamaiti i roto i tona kopu; na kua ki a Erihapeti i te Wairua Tapu:
42 A he nui tona reo ki te karanga, ka mea, Ka manaakitia koe i roto i nga wahine, ka manaakitia ano te hua o tou kopu.
43 No hea hoki tenei ki ahau, kia haere mai te whaea o toku Ariki ki ahau?
44 Na, pa kau mai te reo o tau oha ki oku taringa, ka oho te tamaiti i toku kopu i te hari.
45 Ka koa ano ia e whakapono ana: ka whakaritea hoki nga mea i korerotia ki a ia e te Ariki.
46 A ka mea a Meri, Ka whakanui toku wairua i te Ariki,
47 E hari ana toku wairua ki te Atua, ki toku Kaiwhakaora;
48 Mona i titiro ki te iti o tana pononga; ta te mea hoki katahi ahau ka kiia e nga whakatupuranga katoa e haere ake nei, he wahine hari.
49 He nui hoki nga mahi a te Mea Kaha ki ahau; he tapu hoki tona ingoa.
50 He mahi tohu tana ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, ki tenei whakatupuranga, ki tenei whakatupuranga.
51 Kua whakaputaina he kaha e ia, ara e tona ringa; nana te hunga whakakake i marara ai, i te whakaaro o o ratou ngakau.
52 Kua whakataka e ia nga piriniha i o ratou torona, a whakateiteitia ake ana te hunga iti.
53 Kua whakakiia e ia te hunga mate hiakai ki nga mea pai; kua tonoa kautia atu te hunga taonga.
54 Kua tautokona e ia a Iharaira, tana pononga, he whakamahara hoki ki tana mahi tohu;
55 Ki a Aperahama ratou ko tana whanau ake tonu atu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki o tatou matua.
56 Na tata tonu ki te toru marama a Meri e noho ana ki a ia, a hoki ana ki tona whare.
57 A ka rite te taima o Erihapeti e whanau ai; na ka whanau he tama.
58 A ka rongo te hunga e noho tata ana, me ona whanaunga, kua whakanuia e te Ariki tona aroha ki a ia; na ka hari tahi me ia.
59 A i te waru o nga ra ka haere mai ratou ki te kokoti i te tamaiti; ka mea kia huaina e ratou ko Hakaraia, ko te ingoa o tona papa.
60 Na ka whakahoki tona whaea, ka mea, Kahore; engari me hua ia ko Hoani.
61 Na ko ta ratou meatanga ki a ia, Ara, kahore tenei ingoa i huaina ki tetahi o ou whanaunga.
62 Na ka ui ratou ki tona papa, he mea waitohu, ko wai tana e pai ai kia huaina ki a ia.
63 Ka mea ia ki tetahi papa tuhituhi, a ka tuhituhi, ka mea, Ko Hoani hei ingoa mona. A miharo ana ratou katoa.
64 Na whai reo tonu iho tona mangai, ka matara tona arero, ka korero ia, ka whakapai ki te Atua.
65 A tau ana te wehi ki te hunga katoa e noho tata ana ki a ratou: ka korerotia enei mea katoa puta noa i te whenua pukepuke katoa o Huria.
66 Na ka rongoatia enei mea e te hunga katoa i rangona ai ki roto ki o ratou ngakau, ka mea, He tamaiti aha ianei tenei? i a ia hoki te ringa o te Ariki.
67 Na kua ki a Hakaraia, tona papa, i te Wairua tapu, ka poropiti, ka mea,
68 Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,
69 Kua whakaarahia ake e ia he haona whakaora mo tatou, i roto i te whare o Rawiri, o tana pononga;
70 Ko tana hoki ia i korerotia e te mangai o ana poropiti tapu, no te timatanga mai ano o te ao:
71 Hei whakaora i a tatou i o tatou hoa whawhai, i te ringa ano o te hunga katoa e kino ana ki a tatou;
72 Hei whakaputa i te mahi tohu ki o tatou tupuna, hei whakamahara ki tana kawenata tapu;
73 Ki te oati i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki to tatou tupuna,
74 Kia tukua mai e ia ki a tatou he ora i te ringa o o tatou hoa whawhai, kia mahi wehikore tatou ki a ia,
75 I runga i te tapu, i te tika, ki tona aroaro, i nga ra katoa e ora ai tatou.
76 A ko koe, e tama, ka kiia ko te poropiti a te Runga Rawa: e haere hoki koe i te aroaro o te Ariki, hei whakapai i ona ara;
77 Hei whakamatau i tana iwi ki te ora, i o ratou hara e murua ana;
78 He mea hoki na te aroha, na te mahi tohu a to tatou Atua; na reira hoki i puta mai ai te puaotanga o runga ki a tatou,
79 Hei whakamarama i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i te atarangi hoki o te mate, hei whakatika i o tatou waewae ki te huarahi o te rangimarie.
80 Na ka tupu taua tamaiti, a ka kaha haere tona wairua, a noho ana i nga koraha, taea noatia te ra e whakakitea ai ia ki a Iharaira.
Luke 1
New International Version
Luke 1
New International Version
Introduction(A)
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first(B) were eyewitnesses(C) and servants of the word.(D) 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account(E) for you, most excellent(F) Theophilus,(G) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.(H)
The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea(I) there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah;(J) his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.(K) 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,(L) 9 he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.(O)
11 Then an angel(P) of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.(Q) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.(R) 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid,(S) Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.(T) 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,(U) 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink,(V) and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit(W) even before he is born.(X) 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord,(Y) in the spirit and power of Elijah,(Z) to turn the hearts of the parents to their children(AA) and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”(AB)
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this?(AC) I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”(AD)
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel.(AE) I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak(AF) until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs(AG) to them but remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace(AH) among the people.”
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel(AI) to Nazareth,(AJ) a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,(AK) a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,(AL) Mary; you have found favor with God.(AM) 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.(AN) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.(AO) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,(AP) 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom(AQ) will never end.”(AR)
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you,(AS) and the power of the Most High(AT) will overshadow you. So the holy one(AU) to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.(AV) 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child(AW) in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”(AX)
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,(AY) 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women,(BA) and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord(BB) should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song(BC)
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord(BD)
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(BE)
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.(BF)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,(BG)
49 for the Mighty One has done great things(BH) for me—
holy is his name.(BI)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.(BJ)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;(BK)
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.(BL)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.(BM)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things(BN)
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful(BO)
55 to Abraham and his descendants(BP) forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
The Birth of John the Baptist
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise(BQ) the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”(BR)
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs(BS) to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”(BT) 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak,(BU) praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea(BV) people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.(BW)
Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BX) and prophesied:(BY)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(BZ)
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.(CA)
69 He has raised up a horn[c](CB) of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David(CC)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),(CD)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors(CE)
and to remember his holy covenant,(CF)
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:(CG)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him(CH) without fear(CI)
75 in holiness and righteousness(CJ) before him all our days.
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(CK) of the Most High;(CL)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(CM)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(CN)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(CO) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(CP)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(CQ)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[d];(CR) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
