Matiu 9
1 Na ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka whiti ki tawahi, ka haere ki tona pa.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia tetahi pararutiki, e takoto ana i runga i te moenga; no te kitenga o Ihu i to ratou whakapono ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, E tama, kia maia; ka oti ou hara te muru.
Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
3 Na ka mea etahi o nga karaipi ki a ratou ano, E kohukohu ana tenei tangata.
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 A, ka kite a Ihu i o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ia, He aha i kino ai nga whakaaro o roto o o koutou ngakau?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Ko tehea oti te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika, haere?
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
6 Otira kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, katahi ia ka mea runga i te whenua, katahi ia ka mea ki te pararutiki, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, a haere ki tou whare.
But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
7 Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki tona whare.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 No te kitenga ia o te hui, ka wehi, ka whakakororia i te Atua, i homai ai tenei mana ki nga tangata.
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
9 A, i a Ihu e haere ana i reira, ka kite ia i tetahi tangata, ko Matiu te ingoa, e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha; a ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Na whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
10 A, i a ia e noho ana ki te kai i roto i te whare, na he tokomaha nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara i haere mai, i noho tahi ki a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga.
And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
11 A, no te kitenga o nga Parihi, ka mea ki ana akonga, He aha to koutou Kaiwhakaako ka kai tahi ai me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara?
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Otira ka rongo 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.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
13 Na haere, akona te tikanga o tenei, Ko taku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu: kihai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia ripeneta.
But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
14 Me i reira ka haere mai ki a ia nga akonga a Hoani, ka mea, He aha i maha ai o matou ko nga Parihi nohoanga pukutanga a kahore au akonga e nohopuku?
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
15 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E ahei ranei nga tamariki o te whare marena te tangi, i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou? Na, tera e tae mai nga ra, e tangohia ai te tane marena hou i a ratou, a ko reira nohopuku ai ratou.
"Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
16 E kore e meatia e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito, no te mea ka riro tetahi wahi o taua kakahu i te whakakapi, a ka nui rawa te pakaru.
No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
17 E kore e ringihia te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito: kei pakaru nga ipu, a ka maringi te waina, kore ake nga ipu: erangi e ringihia ana te waina hou ki nga ipu hou, a ka ora taua rua.
Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
18 I a ia e korero ana i enei mea ki a ratou, na ka haere mai tetahi rangatira, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, Tenei kua marere taku tamahine: otira mau e haere ake, e whakapa tou ringa ki a ia, a ka ora.
While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19 Na ka whakatika a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga, a aru ana i a ia.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Na ko te haerenga ki muri i a ia o tetahi wahine, tekau ma rua nga tau i mate ai i te pakaruhanga toto, a ka pa ki te taniko o tona kakahu:
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 I mea hoki i roto i a ia, Kia pa kau oti ahau ki tona kakahu, ka ora ahau.
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Na ka tahuri a Ihu, a ka kite i a ia, ka mea, Kia maia, e ko; na tou whakapono koe i ora ai. A ora ake te wahine i taua wa ano.
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23 Na, i te taenga o Ihu ki te whare o te rangatira, ka kite i nga kaiwhakatangi putorino, i te huihui hoki e ngangau ana,
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Whakaatea: kahore hoki i mate te kotiro, erangi e moe ana. A kataina iho ia e ratou.
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Heoi, ka oti te huihui te pei ki waho, ka tomo ia ki roto, ka mau ki tona ringa, a ara ake ana te kotiro.
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26 A paku ana tenei rongo puta noa i taua whenua.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 A, i a Ihu e haere atu ana i reira, tokorua nga matapo i aru i a ia, ka karanga ake, ka mea, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki a maua.
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
28 A, ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ka haere atu nga matapo ki a ia: na ka mea a Ihu ki a raua, E whakapono ana ranei korua e taea tenei e ahau? Ka mea raua ki a ia, Ae, e te Ariki.
And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
29 Me i reira ka pa ia ki o raua kanohi, ka mea, Kia rite ki to korua whakapono te meatanga ki a korua.
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 Na kua kite o raua kanohi; katahi ka whakatupato a Ihu i a raua, ka mea, Kia mahara kei rangona e te tangata.
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Ko raua ia i puta atu ki waho, a korerotia nuitia ana ia puta noa i taua whenua.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 I a raua e puta ana ki waho, ka kawea mai ki a ia tetahi tangata wahangu, he rewera tona.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 A, ka oti te rewera te pei, ka whai reo te wahangu; a miharo ana te mano, ka mea, Kahore ano i kitea te penei i roto i a Iharaira.
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34 Otira ka mea nga Parihi, Na te rangatira o nga rewera tana peinga rewera.
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35 Na ka haereerea e Ihu nga pa katoa me nga kainga, a ka ako i roto i o ratou whare karakia, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i te tini o nga mate, i te tini o nga turorotanga o te iwi.
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 A, no tona kitenga i nga mano, ka toko ake tona ngakau aroha ki a ratou, e mauiui ana hoki ratou, e marara ke ana, me he hipi heparakore.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37 Katahi ia ka mea ki ana akonga, He nui te kotinga, ko nga kaimahi ia he ruarua;
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 Na inoi atu ki te Ariki nana te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tana kotinga.
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
