1 S ome of the teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They asked,

Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,

2 “ Why do Your followers not obey the teaching that was given to them by our fathers? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

He aha au akonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua? Kahore hoki ratou e horoi i o ratou ringa ina kai taro.

3 J esus said to them, “Why do you break the Law of God by trying to keep their teaching?

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mo ta te Atua kupu ako?

4 F or God said, ‘Show respect to your father and mother.’ And, ‘He who curses his father or mother will be put to death.’

I mea hoki te Atua, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: a, Ki te kohukohu hoki tetahi i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei kia mate ia, mate rawa.

5 B ut you say that if a man says to his parents that anything he has, that might have been of help to them, is already given to God,

Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou kua tapaea atu ki te Atua;

6 h e does not have to show respect by helping his father and mother. You are putting aside the Word of God to keep their teaching.

Na kaua ia e whakahonore i tona papa. Heoi waiho ana e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakahore i te kupu a te Atua.

7 Y ou who pretend to be someone you are not, Isaiah told about you. He said,

E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,

8 ’ These people show respect to Me with their mouth, but their heart is far from Me.

Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.

9 T heir worship of Me is worth nothing. They teach what men have made up.’”

Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

10 J esus called the people to Him and said to them, “Listen and understand this!

A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:

11 I t is not what goes into a man’s mouth that makes his mind and heart sinful. It is what comes out of a man’s mouth that makes him sinful.”

E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te mangai; engari te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te mangai, ma tena e poke ai te tangata.

12 H is followers came to Him. They said, “Did You know the proud religious law-keepers were ashamed and turned away because of You when they heard this?”

Me i reira ka haere ana akonga, ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe i he nga Parihi i to ratou rongonga i taua kupu?

13 H e said, “Every plant that My Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up by the roots.

Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.

14 L et them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. If one blind man leads another blind man, they will both fall into a hole.”

Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.

15 T hen Peter said to Jesus, “Tell us this picture-story so we can understand it.”

Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.

16 J esus said, “Do you not understand yet?

Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?

17 D o you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?

Kiano koutou i matau noa, ko nga mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te mangai ka riro ki roto ki te kopu, a e akiritia ana ki te poka?

18 B ut whatever comes from the mouth has come out of the heart. These things make the man unclean inside.

Tena ko nga mea e puta mai ana i te mangai e haere ake ana i te ngakau; ma ena e poke ai te tangata.

19 F or out of the heart come bad thoughts, killing other people, sex sins of a married person, sex sins of a person not married, stealing, lying, speaking against God.

No roto hoki no te ngakau te putanga ake o nga whakaaro kino, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga moepuku, o nga tahae, o nga whakapae teka, o nga kohukohu:

20 T hese are the things that make the man unclean inside. It does not make a man sinful to eat with hands that have not been washed.” Jesus Puts a Demon Out of a Girl

Ko nga mea enei e noa ai te tangata: tena ko te kai me nga ringa kihai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tena.

21 J esus went from there to the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.

22 A woman came from the land of Canaan. She cried out to Jesus and said, “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter has a demon and is much troubled.”

Na, ko te haerenga mai i aua wahi o tetahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko taku tamahine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rewera.

23 B ut Jesus did not speak a word to her. His followers kept asking, saying, “Send her away for she keeps calling us.”

A kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Na ka haere mai ana akonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tatou.

24 H e said, “I was sent only to the Jewish people who are lost.”

Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.

25 T hen she came and got down before Jesus and worshiped Him. She said, “Lord, help me!”

Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.

26 B ut He said, “It is not right to take children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

27 S he said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the pieces that fall from the table of their owners.”

Ka mea tera, Ae ra, e te Ariki: e kai ana ano nga kuri i nga kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tepu a o ratou rangatira.

28 J esus said to her, “Woman, you have much faith. You will have what you asked for.” Her daughter was healed at that very time. Jesus Heals All Who Come to Him

Katahi ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, nui atu tou whakapono: waiho i tau i pai ai. A ora ake tana tamahine i taua wa pu ano.

29 J esus went from there and came to the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up the mountain and sat down.

Na ka whakatika a Ihu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Kariri: a kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira.

30 M any people came to Him. They brought with them those who were not able to walk. They brought those who were not able to see. They brought those who were not able to hear or speak and many others. Then they put them at the feet of Jesus and He healed them.

He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a ratou ano nga kopa, nga matapo, nga wahangu, nga mutu, me te tini ke atu, a tukua iho e ratou ki nga waewae o Ihu; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia:

31 A ll the people wondered. They saw how those who could not speak were now talking. They saw how those who could not walk were now walking. They saw how those who could not see were now seeing, and they gave thanks to the God of the Jews. The Feeding of the Four Thousand

Miharo noa te mano i to ratou kitenga i nga wahangu e korero ana, i nga mutu e ora ana, i nga kopa e haere ana, i nga matapo e titiro ana: a whakakororiatia ana e ratou te Atua o Iharaira.

32 T hen Jesus called His followers to Him. He said, “I pity these people because they have been with Me three days and they have no food. I do not want to send them home without food. They might get too weak as they go.”

Na ka karangatia e Ihu ana akonga, ka mea, E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, kahore hoki a ratou kai: e kore ahau e pai ki tona pukutia kei hemo ki te ara.

33 T he followers said to Jesus, “Where can we get enough bread to feed them all in this desert?”

Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?

34 J esus said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They said, “Seven loaves and a few small fish.”

Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.

35 H e told the people to sit down on the ground.

Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;

36 T hen He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks. He broke them and gave them to His followers. The followers gave them to the people.

A ka mau ia ki nga taro e whitu, ki nga ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

37 T hey all ate and were filled. They picked up seven baskets full of pieces of bread and fish after the people finished eating.

A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

38 F our thousand men ate. Women and children ate also.

A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.

39 A fter this Jesus sent the people away. Then He got into a boat and came to a place called Magadan.

A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
