1 O n the next Day of Rest Jesus was walking through the grain-fields. His followers picked grain. They rubbed it in their hands and ate it.

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 S ome of the proud religious law-keepers said to them, “Why are you doing what the Law says should not be done on the Day of Rest?”

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 J esus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his men were hungry?

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 e went into the house of God and ate the special bread used in the religious worship. He gave some to those who were with him also. The Law says only the religious leaders may eat that bread.

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 T he Son of Man is Lord of the Day of Rest also.” Jesus Heals on the Day of Rest

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

6 O n another Day of Rest Jesus went into the Jewish place of worship and taught. A man with a dried-up hand was there.

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 T he teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers watched to see if He would heal on the Day of Rest. They wanted to have something to say 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 J esus knew what they were thinking. He said to the man with the dried-up hand, “Stand up and come here.” The man stood up and went to Jesus.

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 will ask you one thing. Does the Law say to do good on the Day of Rest or to do bad? To save life or to kill?”

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 J esus looked around at them all and said to the man, “Put out your hand.” He put it out and his hand was healed. It was as good as his other hand.

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 T he teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers were filled with anger. They talked with each other about what they might do to Jesus. Jesus Calls His Twelve Followers

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

12 O ne day Jesus went up on a mountain to pray. He prayed all night 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 I n the morning He called His followers to Him. He chose twelve of them and called them.

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 here were Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew. There were James and John, 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 M atthew and Thomas. There were James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Canaanite.

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

16 T here were Judas, who was the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot who would hand Jesus over to be killed. Jesus Heals Many People

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

17 T hen Jesus came down and stood on a plain with many of His followers. Many people came from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem and from the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear Him and to be healed 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 T hose who were troubled with demons came and were healed.

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

19 A ll the people tried to put their hands on Jesus. Power came from Him and He healed them all. Jesus Teaches on the Mountain

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 H e looked at His followers and said, “Those of you who are poor are happy, because the holy nation 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 T hose of you who are hungry now are happy, because you will be filled. Those of you who have sorrow now are happy, because you will laugh.

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

22 Y ou are happy when men hate you and do not want you around and put shame on you because you trust in Me.

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 B e glad in that day. Be full of joy for your reward is much in heaven. Their fathers did these things to the early preachers.

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 “ It is bad for you who are rich. You are receiving all that you will get.

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

25 I t is bad for you who are full. You will be hungry. It is bad for you who laugh now. You will have sorrow and you will cry.

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 I t is bad for you when everyone speaks well of you. In the same way, their fathers spoke well of the false teachers. Jesus Teaches What the Law Says about Love

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

27 “ I say to you who hear Me, love those who work against you. Do good to those who hate you.

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 R espect and give thanks for those who try to bring bad to you. Pray for those who make it very hard for you.

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

29 W hoever hits you on one side of the face, turn so he can hit the other side also. Whoever takes your coat, give him your shirt also.

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 to any person who asks you for something. If a person takes something from you, do not ask for it back.

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

31 D o for other people what you would like to have them do for you.

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

32 “ If you love those who love you, what pay can you expect from that? Sinners also love 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 I f you do good to those who do good to you, what pay can you expect from that? Sinners also do good to those who do good to them.

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 I f you let people use your things and expect to get something back, what pay can you expect from that? Even sinners let sinners use things and they expect to get something back.

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 those who hate you. Do good to them. Let them use your things and do not expect something back. Your reward will be much. You will be the children of the Most High. He is kind to those who are not thankful and to those who are full of sin. Jesus Teaches about Finding Bad in Others

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 “ You must have loving-kindness just as your Father has loving-kindness.

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

37 D o not say what is wrong in other people’s lives. Then other people will not say what is wrong in your life. Do not say someone is guilty. Then other people will not say you are guilty. Forgive other people and other people will forgive you.

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 “ Give, and it will be given to you. You will have more than enough. It can be pushed down and shaken together and it will still run over as it is given to you. The way you give to others is the way you will receive in return.”

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 J esus used a picture-story as He spoke to them. He said, “Can one blind man lead another blind man? Will they not fall into the ditch together?

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 T he follower is not more important than his teacher. But everyone who learns well will be like his teacher. Jesus Teaches about Saying What Is Wrong in Others

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 “ Why do you look at the small piece of wood in your brother’s eye and do not see the big piece of wood 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 H ow can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take that small piece of wood out of your eye,’ when you do not see the big piece of wood in your own eye? You pretend to be someone you are not. First, take the big piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you can see better to take the small piece of wood out of your brother’s eye. Jesus Teaches about False Teachers

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 “ A good tree cannot have bad fruit. A bad tree cannot have 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 every tree is known by its own fruit. Men do not gather figs from thorns. They do not gather grapes from thistles.

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 G ood comes from a good man because of the riches he has in his heart. Sin comes from a sinful man because of the sin he has in his heart. The mouth speaks of what the heart is full of. Jesus Teaches about Houses Built on Rock and Sand

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 “ And why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

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

47 W hoever comes to Me and hears and does what I say, I will show you who 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 who built a house. He dug deep to put the building on rock. When the water came up and the river beat against the house, the building could not be shaken because it was built on 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 hears and does not do what I say, is like a man who built a house on nothing but earth. The water beat against the house. At once it fell and was destroyed.”

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.
