1 O ne Sabbath while Jesus was passing through the fields of standing grain, it occurred that His disciples picked some of the spikes and ate, rubbing it out in their hands.

Na i te hapati ka haere ia ra waenga witi; a katohia ana e ana akonga nga puku witi, kainga ake, he mea komukumuku ki te ringa.

2 B ut some of the Pharisees asked them, Why are you doing what is not permitted to be done on the Sabbath days?

Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi, He aha koutou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika kia mahia i te hapati?

3 A nd Jesus replied to them, saying, Have you never so much as read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him?—

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore ianei koutou i kite i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e mate ana i te hiakai, ratou ko ona hoa;

4 H ow he went into the house of God and took and ate the loaves of the showbread, which it is not permitted for any except only the priests to eat, and also gave to those with him?

I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, ka tango ia i nga taro aroaro, na kainga ana e ia, hoatu ana hoki ki ona hoa; ko nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga, engari ma nga tohunga anake?

5 A nd He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.

6 A nd it occurred on another Sabbath that when He went into the synagogue and taught, a man was present whose right hand was withered.

A i tetahi atu hapati ka tomo ia ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako: i reira ano tetahi tangata, ko tona ringa matau kua memenge.

7 A nd the scribes and the Pharisees kept watching Jesus to see whether He would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they might get accusation against Him.

Ka titiro whakamau nga karaipi me nga Parihi ki a ia, me kore ia e whakaora i te hapati; kia whai take ai hei whakawakanga mona.

8 B ut He was aware all along of their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand, Come and stand here in the midst. And he arose and stood there.

Na ka mohio ia ki o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, Whakatika, e tu ki waenganui. A whakatika ana ia, tu ana.

9 T hen Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good '> so that someone derives advantage from it] or to do evil, to save a life '> make a soul safe] or to destroy it?

Katahi ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Maku hoki e ui ki a koutou; He mea tika ranei te mahi pai i te hapati, te mahi kino ranei? te whakaora, te whakamate ranei?

10 T hen He glanced around at them all and said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so, and his hand was fully restored like the other one.

Na ka tirotiro ia ki a ratou katoa, ka mea ki taua tangata, Totoro mai tou ringa. A pera ana ia: na kua ora ano tona ringa.

11 B ut they were filled with lack of understanding and senseless rage and discussed (consulted) with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Na ki tonu ratou i te honohonoa; ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, me aha ranei a Ihu e ratou.

12 N ow in those days it occurred that He went up into a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

A i aua ra ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te inoi, he inoi tonu tana i te roa o te po ki te Atua.

13 A nd when it was day, He summoned His disciples and selected from them twelve, whom He named apostles (special messengers):

A, ka ao te ra, ka karangatia e ia ana akonga: ka whiriwhiria e ia kotahi tekau ma rua o ratou, a huaina ana hoki e ia hei apotoro;

14 T hey were Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

Ko Haimona, i huaina hoki e ia ko Pita, ko tona teina ko Anaru, ko Hemi raua ko Hoani, ko Piripi raua ko Patoromu,

15 A nd Matthew and Thomas; and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

Ko Matiu raua ko Tamati, ko hemi tama a Arapiu, ko Haimona e kiia nei ko Heroti,

16 A nd Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor (a treacherous, basely faithless person).

Ko Hura tama a Hemi, ko Hura Ikariote hoki, ko ia nei te kaituku.

17 A nd Jesus came down with them and took His stand on a level spot, with a great crowd of His disciples and a vast throng of people from all over Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to listen to Him and to be cured of their diseases—

Na ka heke ngatahi iho ratou, tu ana i tetahi wahi tairite, ratou ko te ropu o ana akonga, me te huihuinga nui o te iwi i Huria katoa, i Hiruharama, i te taha hoki o te moana o Taira, o Hairona, i haere mai nei ki te whakarongo ki a ia, kia whak aorangia hoki o ratou mate;

18 E ven those who were disturbed and troubled with unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

Me te hunga ano e whakatoia ana e nga wairua poke: a whakaorangia ana ratou.

19 A nd all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was all the while going forth from Him and curing them all '> saving them from severe illnesses or calamities].

I whai ano te mano katoa kia pa ki a ia; i puta hoki he kaha i a ia, a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa.

20 A nd solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!

Na ka titiro ona kanohi ki ana akonga, ka mea ia, Ka koa koutou, e nga rawakore: mo koutou hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

21 B lessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!

Ka koa koutou e hiakai nei inaianei: ka makona hoki koutou. Ka koa koutou e tangi nei inaianei: e kata hoki koutou.

22 B lessed (happy— with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man.

Ka koa koutou ina kinongia koutou e nga tangata, ina wehea atu i roto i a ratou, ina tawaia, ina rukea atu to koutou ingoa, ano he mea kino, mo te whakaaro ki te Tama a te tangata.

23 R ejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.

Kia hari i taua ra, me te tupekepeke: he nui hoki to koutou utu i te rangi: i peratia hoki nga poropiti e o ratou matua.

24 B ut woe to (alas for) you who are rich ( abounding in material resources), for you already are receiving your consolation (the solace and sense of strengthening and cheer that come from prosperity) and have taken and enjoyed your comfort in full.

Otira aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga taonga! kua riro hoki i a koutou to koutou whakamarie.

25 W oe to (alas for) you who are full now (completely filled, luxuriously gorged and satiated), for you shall hunger and suffer want! Woe to (alas for) you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep and wail!

Aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga e makona ana inaianei! e mate hoki koutou i te hiakai. Aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga e kata ana inaianei! ka aue hoki koutou, ka tangi.

26 W oe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.

Aue, te mate mo koutou ka korerotia paitia koutou e nga tangata katoa! i pera hoki o ratou matua ki nga poropiti teka.

27 B ut I say to you who are listening now to Me: '> in order to heed, make it a practice to] love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred,

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou e whakarongo mai nei, Arohaina o koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou;

28 I nvoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God’s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you.

Manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me inoi mo te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou.

29 T o the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well.

Na ki te pakia tou paparinga e tetahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tetahi; ki te tangohia tou ngeri e tetahi, kaua e kaiponuhia tou koti.

30 G ive away to everyone who begs of you '> in want of necessities], and of him who takes away from you your goods, do not demand or require them back again.

Hoatu ki nga tangata katoa e inoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa au mea ki te tangohia e te tangata.

31 A nd as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.

A, ko ta koutou e pai ai kia meatia e nga tangata ki a koutou, meatia ano e koutou ki a ratou.

32 I f you love those who love you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the sinners love their lovers (those who love them).

Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a ratou.

33 A nd if you are kind and good and do favors to and benefit those who are kind and good and do favors to and benefit you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the preeminently sinful do the same.

Ki te atawhai hoki koutou i te hunga e atawhai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e pena ana ano te hunga hara.

34 A nd if you lend money at interest to those from whom you hope to receive, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? Even notorious sinners lend money at interest to sinners, so as to recover as much again.

Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai e ratou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mo te pera kia whakahokia ki a ratou.

35 B ut love your enemies and be kind and do good '> so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked.

Engari kia aroha ki o koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a ratou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua ano e mutu te tumanako; a tera e rahi te whakautu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tamariki ma te Runga Rawa: e atawhai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e w hakawhetai, i te hunga kino.

36 S o be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is.

Kia ngawari rapea koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua e ngawari ana.

37 J udge not, and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released.

Kaua e whakawa, a e kore koutou e whakawakia: kaua e whakatau he, a e kore te he e whakataua ki a koutou: houhia te rongo, a e houhia ano te rongo ki a koutou.

38 G ive, and will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into the bosom. For with the measure you deal out, it will be measured back to you.

Hoatu, a ka homai ki a koutou; he mehua pai, pehi rawa, oioi rawa, purena tonu ta ratou e homai ai ki te kokoru o o koutou kakahu. Ko te mehua hoki e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou.

39 H e further told them a proverb: Can a blind guide and direct a blind ? Will they not both stumble into a ditch or a hole in the ground?

A ka puaki tana kupu whakarite ki a ratou, E ahei ranei te matapo te arahi i te matapo? e kore ranei e taka tahi raua ki te poka?

40 A pupil is not superior to his teacher, but everyone completely trained (readjusted, restored, set to rights, and perfected) will be like his teacher.

E kore te akonga e rahi ake i tona kaiwhakaako: engari ka rite ano ki o ratou kaiwhakaako nga tangata katoa kua tino pukengatia.

41 W hy do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice or consider the beam that is in your own eye?

He aha tau e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina, te kite i te kurupae i tou ake kanohi?

42 O r how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

A me pehea e taea ai e koe te korero ki tou teina, E toku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i roto i tou kanohi; te kite i te kurupae i roto i tou kanohi? E te tangata tinihanga, matua kapea atu e koe te kurupae i roto i tou kanohi, ka tahi koe ka marama ai ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina.

43 F or there is no good (healthy) tree that bears decayed (worthless, stale) fruit, nor on the other hand does a decayed (worthless, sickly) tree bear good fruit.

E kore hoki te rakau ataahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore ano te rakau kino e hua i te hua ataahua.

44 F or each tree is known and identified by its own fruit; for figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a bramblebush.

Ma ona hua tonu ka mohiotia ai tenei rakau, tenei rakau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i nga tataramoa, e kore ano e whakaiia he karepe i runga i te tumatakuru.

45 T he upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

He tangata pai, he pai tana e whakaputa ai i roto i te taonga pai o tona ngakau; he tangata kino, he kino tana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga kino o tona ngakau: he purenatanga hoki no te ngakau nga kupu a te mangai.

46 W hy do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I tell you?

He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, E te Ariki, e te Ariki, te mahi i aku e korero ai?

47 F or everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

Na, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki aku kupu, a e mahi ana, maku e whakaatu ki a koutou tona rite:

48 H e is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock.

Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tetahi whare, i keri, i whakahohonu, a whakatakoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka: a, i te putanga o te waipuke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kihai i taea te whakangaueue: no te mea i u tona hangang a.

49 B ut he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great.

Tena ko te tangata i rongo, a kihai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tetahi whare ki runga ki te oneone, te ai he turanga: i te pakarutanga o te roma, na hinga tonu iho; a nui atu te pakaru o taua whare.
