Ruka 5
1 A, i te mano e aki ana ki a ia ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua, na e tu ana ia i te taha o te roto o Kenehareta,
On one occasion, Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to the word of God.
2 Na ka kite ia i etahi kaipuke e rua e tu ana i te taha o te roto: ko nga kaihao ia kua riro i runga, e horoi ana i a ratou kupenga.
He saw two boats moored beside the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Na ka eke ia ki tetahi o nga kaipuke, ki te Haimona, ka mea ki a ia kia neke atu ki waho tata. Na noho ana ia, whakaakona ana e ia te mano i runga i te kaipuke.
He got into one of the boats, the one that was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and began teaching the crowds from the boat.
4 A ka mutu tana korero, ka mea ia ki a Haimona, Neke atu ki te wahi hohonu, ka tuku ai i a koutou kupenga ki te hao.
When he finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, E kara, mahi noa matou i te po roa nei, te mau tetahi: heoi nau na te kupu me tuku e ahau te kupenga.
Simon answered him, “Master, we have worked hard throughout the entire night and have caught nothing, but at yoʋr word I will let down the net.”
6 A, no ta ratou meatanga i tenei, he mano tini nga ika i mau i a ratou: ka whakapakaru ta ratou kupenga.
When he and the men with him did so, they enclosed such a large number of fish that their net began to break.
7 Na ka tawhiri ratou ki o ratou hoa i tera o nga kaipuke kia hoe mai hei hoa mo ratou. A, i to ratou taenga mai, whakakiia ana nga kaipuke e rua, no ka whakatotohu.
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and assist them, and they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Otiia, no te kitenga o Haimona Pita, ka hinga iho ki nga turi o Ihu, ka mea, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te Ariki, he tangata hara hoki ahau.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
9 Mau tonu hoki tona miharo me to ona hoa katoa, ki te haonga o nga ika i haoa nei e ratou:
For he and all who were with him were gripped with astonishment at the catch of fish they had taken,
10 I pera ano hoki a Hemi raua ko Hoani, he tama raua na Heperi, he hoa hoki no Haimona. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a Haimona, Kaua e mataku; i enei wa e takoto ake nei ka hao tangata koe.
and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on yoʋ will be catching people.”
11 A ka whakauria nga kaipuke ki uta, mahue ake nga mea katoa i a ratou, a aru ana i a ia.
So they brought their boats to shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Na, i a ia i tetahi o nga pa, na ko etahi tangata kapi tonu i te repera; a, i tona kitenga i a Ihu, ka takoto tapapa, ka inoi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.
While Jesus was in one of the towns, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When the man saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”
13 Na ka totoro tona ringa, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau: kia ma koe. A mutu tonu ake tona repera.
So Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 A ka whakatupato ia i a ia kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata; Engari haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, kawea atu hoki mo tou whakamakanga nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.
Then Jesus ordered him to tell no one, but said, “Go show yoʋrself to the priest, and make an offering for yoʋr cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
15 Heoi tino paku atu ana tona rongo: he tokomaha noa atu hoki i huihui ki te whakarongo, kia whakaorangia ai e ia o ratou ngoikoretanga.
But the news about Jesus spread even more, and large crowds would gather together to hear him and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Otira haere ana ia, ko ia anake ki te koraha ki te inoi.
But he would often withdraw to desolate places and pray.
17 A i tetahi o aua ra, e whakaako ana ia, me te noho ano nga Parihi me nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, i haere mai nei i nga kainga katoa o Kariri, o Huria, o Hiruharama: i reira ano te kaha o te Ariki hei whakaora i a ratou.
On one of those days, as he was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people.
18 Na ka kawea mai e etahi tangata i runga i te moenga tetahi tangata, he pararutiki: mea noa ratou kia kawea ia ki roto, kia whakatakotoria ki tona aroaro.
And behold, some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They were trying to bring him in and place him before Jesus.
19 A, i te korenga e kitea e ratou he huarahi hei kawenga mai ia ia ki roto, i te mano o te tangata, ka kakea te whare, a tukua iho ana ia ra nga taera, me te moenga ano, ki waenganui, ki te aroaro o Ihu.
But when they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down through the tiles, together with his mat, into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 A, i tona kitenga i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki a ia, E hoa, ka oti ou hara te muru.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Man, yoʋr sins are forgiven yoʋ.”
21 Na ka anga ka whakaaroaro nga karaipi me nga Parihi, ka mea, Ko wai tenei nana nga kupu kohukohu? Ko wai hei muru hara? ko te Atua anake.
But the scribes and the Pharisees began to question what Jesus said: “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 Otira i mohio a Ihu ki a ratou whakaaroaronga, ka oho, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e whakaaroaro na i roto i o koutou ngakau?
Aware of their thoughts, Jesus answered them, “Why are you questioning in your hearts?
23 Ko tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika haere?
Which is easier, to say, ‘Yoʋr sins are forgiven yoʋ,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?
24 Otiia 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, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralyzed man—“I say to yoʋ, rise, pick up yoʋr mat, and go to yoʋr house.”
25 Na whakatika tonu ake ia i to ratou aroaro, tangohia ake ana te mea i takoto ai ia, haere ana ki tona whare, a me te whakakororia i te Atua.
Immediately the man rose up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went to his house, glorifying God.
26 Na miharo ana ratou katoa, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ki tonu hoki ratou i te mataku, ka mea, Puta ke nga mea i kite nei tatou inaianei.
Amazement seized them all, and they too began glorifying God. Filled with awe, they said, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
27 A, i muri i enei mea, ka haere ia, ka kite i tetahi pupirikana, ko Riwai te ingoa, e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha: ka mea ki a ia, Arumia mai ahau.
After this Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. Jesus said to him, “Follow me,”
28 Na whakarerea ake e ia nga mea katoa, whakatika ana, aru ana i a ia.
and leaving everything behind, Levi rose and followed him.
29 Na ka taka e Riwai he hakari nui mana i tona whare: he tokomaha hoki nga pupirikana me nga tangata ke i noho tahi ratou.
Then Levi gave a great banquet for Jesus in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at the table with them.
30 Na ka amuamu nga Parihi me o ratou karaipi ki ana akonga, ka mea He aha koutou ka kai tahi ai, ka inu tahi ai me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara?
But the scribes of the people and the Pharisees were grumbling at his disciples, saying, “Why are you eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana.
Jesus answered them, “It is not those who are well who have need of a physician, but those who are sick.
32 Kihai ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia ripeneta.
I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
33 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko nga akonga a Hoani hono tonu te nohopuku, te inoi, me nga akonga ano a nga Parihi; ko au ia e kai ana, e inu ana.
Then they said to him, “Why is it that the disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yoʋrs eat and drink?”
34 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, E taea ranei e koutou te mea kia nohopuku nga tama o te whare marena, i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou?
Jesus said to them, “Can you make the bridegroom's attendants fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Na, tera e tae mai nga ra; a, ina tangohia te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.
But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, they will fast in those days.”
36 I korerotia ano e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; E kore e haea e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei pakaru te mea hou, a e kore te papaki i tangohia i te mea hou e hangai ki te mea tawhito.
He also told them a parable: “No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old garment. For not only would he tear the new garment, but the patch from the new garment would not match the old garment.
37 E kore hoki te tangata e riringi i te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito; kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, na ka maringi, a kore ake nga ipu.
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the new wine would burst the wineskins and would itself be spilled, and the wineskins would be ruined.
38 Engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.
But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and then both are preserved.
39 Ka inu hoki te tangata i te waina tawhito, e kore ia e hiahia ki te mea hou: e mea hoki ia, Erangi te mea tawhito.
And no one after drinking old wine immediately desires new wine, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
