1 J esus went into the Jewish place of worship again. A man was there with a dried-up hand.

A ka tomo atu ano ia ki te whare karakia; na i reira tetahi tangata kua memenge tona ringa.

2 T he proud religious law-keepers watched Jesus to see if He would heal the man on the Day of Rest. They wanted to have something to say against Jesus.

A ka whakamau ta ratou titiro ki a ia, me kore ia e whakaora i a ia i te hapati; he mea kia whakapa ai ratou i tetahi he ki a ia.

3 J esus said to the man with the dried-up hand, “Stand up.”

Na ka mea ia ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, Whakatika ki waenganui.

4 T hen Jesus said to the proud religious law-keepers, “Does the Law say to do good on the Day of Rest or to do bad, to save life or to kill?” But they said nothing.

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He mea tika ranei te mahi pai i te hapati, te mahi kino ranei? te whakaora ranei, te whakamate ranei? Heoi kahore ratou i kiki.

5 J esus looked around at them with anger. He was sad because of their hard hearts. Then He said to the man, “Put out your hand.” He put it out and his hand was healed. It was as good as the other.

Na ka tirotiro riri ia ki a ratou, he pouri hoki mo te pakeke o o ratou ngakau, ka mea ki taua tangata, Totoro tou ringa. A, ko te toronga o tona ringa, kua ora.

6 T he proud religious law-keepers went out and made plans with the followers of King Herod how they might kill Jesus. Jesus Heals by the Sea-Shore

Na ka haere atu nga Parihi, ka runanga tahi me nga Heroriana mona, ki te pehea e whakangaromia ai ia.

7 J esus went with His followers to the sea. Many people followed Him from the countries of Galilee and Judea.

Na ka maunu atu a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga ki te moana; he nui hoki te tangata i aru i a ia i Kariri, i Huria,

8 T hey followed from Jerusalem and from the country of Idumea. They came from the other side of the Jordan River and from the cities of Tyre and Sidon. Many people heard all that Jesus was doing and came to Him.

I Hiruharama, i Irumia, i tawahi hoki o Horano; me te hunga hoki e tata ana ki Taira, ki Hairona, nui atu te huihui; i to ratou rongonga i nga mea i mea ai ia, haere ana ki a ia.

9 H e told His followers to have a small boat ready for Him because so many people might push Him down.

Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga kia noho tata mai tetahi kaipuke iti ki a ia, i te mano hoki, kei tutetutea ia e ratou.

10 H e had healed so many that the sick people were pushing in on Him. They were trying to put their hands on Him.

He tokomaha hoki i whakaorangia e ia; no ka popo mai ki a ia te hunga katoa e mate ana, kia pa ai ki a ia.

11 W hen demons saw Him, they got down at His feet and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

Me nga wairua poke hoki, i to ratou kitenga i a ia, takoto ana ki tona aroaro, ka karanga, ka mea, Ko te Tama koe a te Atua.

12 H e spoke strong words that the demons should tell no one Who He was. Jesus Calls His Twelve Followers

A he maha ana kupu ki a ratou kia kaua ia e whakaaturia e ratou.

13 H e went up on a mountain and called those He wanted. They followed Him.

Na ka kake ia ki te maunga, karangatia ana ki a ia ana i pai ai: a ka tae ratou ki a ia.

14 H e picked out twelve followers to be with Him so He might send them out to preach.

A kotahi tekau ma rua ana i whakarite ai hei hoa mona, hei tononga hoki mana ki te kauwhau,

15 T hey would have the right and the power to heal diseases and to put out demons.

Kia whai mana hoki e ora ai nga mate, e peia ai nga rewera:

16 J esus gave Simon another name, Peter.

A huaina iho e ia a Haimona ko Pita;

17 J ames and John were brothers. They were the sons of Zebedee. He named them Boanerges, which means, The Sons of Thunder.

Ko Hemi, tama a Heperi, raua ko Hoani, teina o Hemi; a huaina iho raua ko Poaneki, ara ko nga Tama a te whatitiri;

18 T he others were Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite,

Ko Anaru, ko Piripi, ko Patoromu, ko Matiu, ko Tamati, ko Hemi, tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu, ko Haimona Kanaani,

19 a nd Judas Iscariot. Judas was the one who handed Jesus over to be killed. The Family of Jesus Holds Him Back

Ko Hura Ikariote hoki, nana nei ia i tuku. Na ka tae ia ki te whare;

20 W hen Jesus came into a house, many people gathered around Him again. Jesus and His followers could not even eat.

Na ka huihui ano te mano, no kihai rawa ratou i ahei te kai taro.

21 W hen His family heard of it, they went to take Him. They said, “He must be crazy.” A Nation That Cannot Stand

A, no ka rongo ona hoa, ka haere ki te pupuri i a ia: i mea hoki, He porewarewa ia.

22 T eachers of the Law came down from Jerusalem. They said, “Jesus has Satan in Him. This Man puts out demons by the king of demons.”

Na ka mea nga karaipi i haere mai ra i Hiruharama, Kei a ia a Perehepura, a na te rangatira o nga rewera tana peinga rewera.

23 J esus called them to Him and spoke to them in picture-stories. He said, “How can the devil put out the devil?

Na ka karangatia ratou e ia, a ka korero whakarite ki a ratou, Me pehea a Hatana ka pei ai i a Hatana?

24 A nation cannot last if it is divided against itself.

Ki te tahuri iho hoki tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, e kore taua rangatiratanga e tu.

25 A family cannot last if it is divided against itself.

Ki te tahuri iho hoki tetahi whare ki a ia ano, e kore taua whare e tu.

26 I f the devil fights against himself and is divided, he cannot last. He will come to an end.

Ki te whakatika a Hatana, a ka tahuri iho ki a ia ano, e kore ia e tu, engari he mutunga tona.

27 N o man can go into a strong man’s house and take away his things, unless he ties up the strong man first. Only then can he take things from his house.

E kore te tangata e ahei te haere ki roto ki te whare o te tangata kaha, pahua ai i ona taonga, ki te kahore e matua herea te tangata kaha: ko reira pahua ai i tona whare.

28 F or sure, I tell you, all sins will be forgiven people, and bad things they speak against God.

He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga hara katoa o nga tama a nga tangata e murua, me nga kohukohu e kohukohu ai ratou:

29 B ut if anyone speaks bad things against the Holy Spirit, he will never be forgiven. He is guilty of a sin that lasts forever.”

Tena ko te tangata e kohukohua ai te Wairua Tapu, e kore e murua tona hara a ake ake, engari ka tau te he ki a ia a ake ake:

30 J esus told them this because they said, “He has a demon.” The New Kind of Family

Mo ratou i ki, He wairua poke tona.

31 T hen His mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent for Jesus.

A, ko te taenga mai o ona teina ratou ko tona whaea, ka tu i waho, ka tono tangata mai ki a ia, ki te karanga i a ia.

32 M any people were sitting around Him. They said, “See! Your mother and brothers are outside looking for You.”

E noho ana hoki te mano i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a ka mea ratou ki a ia, Na, tou whaea me ou teina kei waho, e rapu ana i a koe.

33 H e said to them, “Who is My mother or My brothers?”

Na ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko wai toku whaea, ko wai hoki oku teina?

34 H e turned to those sitting around Him and said, “See! My mother and My brothers!

Na ka tirotiro ia ki te hunga e noho ana i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, ka mea, Na, toku whaea, oku teina!

35 W hoever does what My Father wants is My brother and My sister and My mother.”

Ki te meatia hoki e tetahi ta te Atua i pai ai, hei teina ia ki ahau, hei tuahine, hei whaea.
