Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
A ka tomo atu ano ia ki te whare karakia; na i reira tetahi tangata kua memenge tona ringa.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
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 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Na ka mea ia ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, Whakatika ki waenganui.
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
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 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
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 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
Na ka haere atu nga Parihi, ka runanga tahi me nga Heroriana mona, ki te pehea e whakangaromia ai ia.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
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 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
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 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
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.
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 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also 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 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
A he maha ana kupu ki a ratou kia kaua ia e whakaaturia e ratou.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to 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 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
A kotahi tekau ma rua ana i whakarite ai hei hoa mona, hei tononga hoki mana ki te kauwhau,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
Kia whai mana hoki e ora ai nga mate, e peia ai nga rewera:
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
A huaina iho e ia a Haimona ko Pita;
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
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 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
Ko Anaru, ko Piripi, ko Patoromu, ko Matiu, ko Tamati, ko Hemi, tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu, ko Haimona Kanaani,
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
Ko Hura Ikariote hoki, nana nei ia i tuku. Na ka tae ia ki te whare;
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
Na ka huihui ano te mano, no kihai rawa ratou i ahei te kai taro.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
A, no ka rongo ona hoa, ka haere ki te pupuri i a ia: i mea hoki, He porewarewa ia.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
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 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
Na ka karangatia ratou e ia, a ka korero whakarite ki a ratou, Me pehea a Hatana ka pei ai i a Hatana?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Ki te tahuri iho hoki tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, e kore taua rangatiratanga e tu.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Ki te tahuri iho hoki tetahi whare ki a ia ano, e kore taua whare e tu.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Ki te whakatika a Hatana, a ka tahuri iho ki a ia ano, e kore ia e tu, engari he mutunga tona.
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s 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 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
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:
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
Mo ratou i ki, He wairua poke tona.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
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 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) 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 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
Na ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko wai toku whaea, ko wai hoki oku teina?
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] 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 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Ki te meatia hoki e tetahi ta te Atua i pai ai, hei teina ia ki ahau, hei tuahine, hei whaea.
