1 A , i a ia i tomo ai ano ki Kaperenauma i etahi ra mai, ka rangona kei te whare ia.

When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.

2 N a ka hui mai te tini o te tangata, kahore rawa he wahi e o ai ratou, hore rawa i te taha o te kuwaha; a ka korerotia e ia te kupu ki a ratou.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

3 K a haere mai hoki etahi, ka kawe mai i tetahi pararutiki ki a ia, tokowha ki te kauhoa.

Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.

4 A , te taea te whakatata ki a ia i te mano hoki, ka pokaia te tuanui o te wahi i noho ai ia: a, ka oti te wawahi, ka tukua iho te moenga i takoto ai te pararutiki.

When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.

5 A , no te kitenga o Ihu i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, E tama, ka oti ou hara te muru.

Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

6 N a i reira etahi o nga karaipi e noho ana, e whakaaroaro ana i roto i o ratou ngakau,

But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

7 H e aha enei kupu kohukohu a tenei tangata? ko wai hei muru hara, kotahi tonu ko te Atua anake?

“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8 N a mohio tonu a Ihu i roto i tona wairua, e penei ana o ratou whakaaro i roto i a ratou, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakaaroaro ai i enei mea i roto i o koutou ngakau?

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

9 K o tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea ki te pararutiki, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere?

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’

10 O tira, kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki,

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —he said to the paralytic—

11 K o taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.

“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”

12 N a whakatika tonu ake ia, a tangohia ake ana tona moenga, haere atu ana i te aroaro o ratou katoa: no ka miharo ratou katoa ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kahore ano tatou i kite noa i te penei.

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

13 A haere atu ana ia i te taha o te moana; na ka tae te mano katoa ki a ia, a ka whakaakona ratou e ia.

He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

14 A , i ia e haere ana, ka kite ia i a Riwai tama a Arapiu e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Na whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia,

As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.

15 A , i a ia e noho ana i tona whare, he tokomaha nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara e noho tahi ana ki a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga: he tokomaha hoki ratou, a i aru i a ia.

He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

16 A , no te kitenga o nga karaipi a nga Parihi i a ia e kai tahi ana me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara, ka mea ki ana akonga, Kei te kai tahi ia, kei te inu tahi me nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara.

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 A , i te rongonga o Ihu, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana: kihai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara.

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

18 N a kei te nohopuku nga akonga a Hoani ratou ko a nga Parihi: a ka haere mai ratou, ka mea ki a ia, He aha nga akonga a Hoani me a nga Parihi ka nohopuku ai, tena ko au akonga kahore e nohopuku?

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”

19 N a ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E ahei ranei nga tama o te whare marena te nohopuku i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou? e kore ratou e ahei te nohopuku i nga wa kei a ratou nei te tane marena hou.

Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.

20 N a tera e tae mai nga ra e tangohia ai te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.

21 E kore e tuia e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou, hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei riro tetahi wahi o te kahu tawhito i tona whakakapi hou, a ka nui rawa te pakaru.

No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.

22 E kore hoki e ringihia e te tangata te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito: kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, a ka maringi te waina, kore ake nga ipu: engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”

23 A , i a ia e haere ana i waenga witi i te hapati, ka anga ana akonga ka ka kato haere i nga puku witi.

He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

24 N a ka mea nga Parihi ki a ia, Na, he aha ratou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika i te hapati?

The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”

25 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ano koutou i kite noa i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e ngaua ana e te hiakai, ratou ko ona hoa?

He said to them, “Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?

26 I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua i nga ra o Apiata tohunga nui, a kainga ana e ia nga taro aroaro, nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga, ma nga tohunga anake, a hoatu ana e ia ki ona hoa?

How he entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”

27 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Hei mea mo te tangata te hapati, ehara i te mea ko te tangata mo te hapati,

He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28 W aihoki ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.

Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
