1 I n those days when an immense crowd had gathered and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and told them,

I aua ra i te mea he nui rawa te mano, kahore hoki he kai ma ratou, ka karanga a Ihu ki ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou,

2 I have pity and sympathy for the people and My heart goes out to them, for they have been with Me now three days and have nothing to eat;

E aroha ana ahau ki nga tangata, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, a kahore a ratou kai:

3 A nd if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will be feeble through exhaustion and faint along the road; and some of them have come a long way.

Ki te tonoa pukutia ratou e ahau ki to ratou kainga, ka hemo ki te ara; i haere mai hoki etahi o ratou i tawhiti.

4 A nd His disciples replied to Him, How can anyone fill and satisfy with loaves of bread here in desolate and uninhabited region?

Na ka whakahokia e ana akonga ki a ia, Me aha e te tangata ka makona ai enei i te taro i konei, i te koraha?

5 A nd He asked them, How many loaves have you? They said, Seven.

Ka ui ia ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu.

6 A nd He commanded the multitude to recline upon the ground, and He took the seven loaves and, having given thanks, He broke them and kept on giving them to His disciples to put before, and they placed them before the crowd.

Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua: a ka mau ki nga taro e whitu, ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki ana akonga kia whakatakotoria ki mua i a ratou: whakatakotoria ana e ratou ma te mano.

7 A nd they had a few small fish; and when He had praised God and given thanks and asked Him to bless them, He ordered that these also should be set before.

He ika ano a ratou torutoru nei, he mea nonohi: a ka mutu te whakapai, ka mea ia kia whakatakotoria hoki era.

8 A nd they ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven '> large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

Na kai ana ratou, a ka makona: a kohia ake ana o nga whatiwhatinga i toe e whitu nga kete.

9 A nd there were about 4, 000 people. And He dismissed them,

Me te mea e wha mano te hunga i kai: a tonoa atu ana ratou e ia.

10 A nd at once He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha (or Magdala).

Na eke tonu ia ratou ko ana akonga ki te kaipuke, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Taramanuta.

11 T he Pharisees came and began to argue with and question Him, demanding from Him a sign (an attesting miracle from heaven) to test Him.

Na ka puta mai nga parihi, ka anga ka totohe ki a ia, ka rapu tohu ki a ia i te rangi, hei whakamatautau mona.

12 A nd He groaned and sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation demand a sign? Positively I say to you, no sign shall be given this generation.

Na ka hotu tona wairua, ka mea ia, He aha tenei whakatupuranga ka rapu ai ki te tohu? he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e hoatu he tohu ki tenei whakatupuranga.

13 A nd He went away and left them and, getting into the boat again, He departed to the other side.

Na mahue ake ratou i a ia, a eke ana ano ki te kaipuke, rere ana ki tera taha.

14 N ow they had '> completely] forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

Na i wareware ratou ki te mau taro, kotahi tonu a ratou taro i te kaipuke.

15 A nd Jesus charged and admonished them, saying, Look out; keep on your guard and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod and the Herodians.

Na ka whakatupato ia i a ratou, ka mea, Kia mahara, kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, i te rewena hoki a Herora.

16 A nd they discussed it and reasoned with one another, It is because we have no bread.

A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, No te mea kahore a tatou taro.

17 A nd being aware, Jesus said to them, Why are you reasoning and saying it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet discern or understand? Are your hearts in hardness?

Ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, he aha koutou ka korerorero ai no te mea kahore a koutou taro? kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano i mahara? e pakeke tonu ana ano ranei o koutou ngakau?

18 H aving eyes, do you not see, and having ears, do you not hear and perceive and understand the sense of what is said? And do you not remember?

He kanohi nei o koutou, a kahore e kite? he taringa nei o koutou, a kahore e rongo? kahore e mahara?

19 W hen I broke the five loaves for the 5, 000, how many '> small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.

I ahau i whawhati i nga taro e rima ma nga mano e rima, e hia nga kete ki o nga whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kotahi tekau ma rua.

20 A nd the seven loaves for the 4, 000, how many '> large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven.

A i nga taro hoki e whitu ma nga mano e wha, e hia nga kete ki o nga whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou? Ka mea ratou, E whitu.

21 A nd He kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ano ia koutou kia matau noa?

22 A nd they came to Bethsaida. And brought to Him a blind man and begged Him to touch him.

A ka tae ratou ki Petahaira. Na ka kawea mai e ratou he matapo ki a ia, ka inoi ki a ia kia whakapangia e ia.

23 A nd He caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you '> possibly] see anything?

Na ka mau ia ki te ringa o te matapo, ka arahi i a ia ki waho o te kainga; ka tuwha ki ona kanohi, a ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, ka ui ki a ia me kore ia e kite i tetahi mea.

24 A nd he looked up and said, I see people, but like trees, walking.

Na ka titiro ake ia, ka mea, E kite ana ahau i nga tangata e haereere ana me te mea he rakau.

25 T hen He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently, and he was restored and saw everything distinctly '> at a distance].

Me i reira ka whakapakia ano nga ringa ki ona kanohi, ka mea i a ia kia titiro: na ka ora ia, a ka marama te titiro ki nga mea katoa.

26 A nd He sent him away to his house, telling, Do not enter the village or tell anyone there.

Na ka tono ia i a ia ki tona whare, ka mea atu, Kaua e tomo ki te kainga.

27 A nd Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am?

Na ka haere a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga ki nga kainga o Hiharia Piripai: a i te ara ka ui ia ki ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki ta nga tangata ki, ko wai ahau?

28 A nd they answered, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.

Na ko ta ratou whakahokinga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri: ki ta etahi, Ko Iraia; ki ta etahi, Ko tetahi o nga poropiti.

29 A nd He asked them, But who do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki ta koutou na ki, ko wai ahau? Na ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te Karaiti koe.

30 A nd He charged them sharply to tell no one about Him.

Na ka whakatupato ia i a ratou, kia kaua ia e korerotia ki te tangata.

31 A nd He began to teach them that the Son of Man must of necessity suffer many things and be tested and disapproved and rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again '> from death].

Katahi ia ka anga ka whakaako i a ratou, kua takoto te tikanga kia maha nga mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakinongia hoki e nga kaumatua, e nga tohunga nui, e nga karaipi, a kia whakamatea, a kia ara ano ina pahure nga ra e toru.

32 A nd He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him by the hand and led Him aside and then began to rebuke Him.

I korerotia matanuitia ano taua kupu e ia. Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana.

33 B ut turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men.

Otira ka tahuri ia, a, i te kitenga i ana akonga, ka whakahe ki ta Pita, ka mea, haere ki muri i ahau, e Hatana: kahore hoki ou ngakau ki nga mea a te Atua, engari ki a te tangata.

34 A nd Jesus called the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself '> lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and '> joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me.

Na ka karangatia e ia te mano, ratou ko ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te mea tetahi tangata kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia i a ia ano, me amo i tona ripeka, ka aru ai i ahau.

35 F or whoever wants to save his '> higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it '> lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it '> higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

Ki te whai tetahi kia ora, ka mate ia; ki te mate hoki tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki, ka ora ia.

36 F or what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life '> in the eternal kingdom of God]?

A he aha te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka kore he ora mona?

37 F or what can a man give as an exchange ( a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his life '> in the eternal kingdom of God]?

He aha hoki ta te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mona kia ora?

38 F or whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous (unfaithful) and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory (splendor and majesty) of His Father with the holy angels.

Ki te whakama hoki tetahi ki ahau, ki aku korero, i tenei whakatupuranga puremu, kino, ka whakama ano te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai i runga i te kororia o tona Matua, ratou ko nga anahera tapu.
