¹The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

¹¶ Ko te timatanga o te rongopai o Ihu Karaiti, o te Tama a te Atua;

²As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²Ko te mea ia i tuhituhia i roto i ta Ihaia poropiti, Na ka tonoa e ahau taku karere i mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara i mua i a koe.

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

³He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, Whakatikaia ona ara.

⁴John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

⁴I haere mai a Hoani, ka iriiri i te koraha, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara.

⁵And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Na ka haere ki a ia te whenua katoa o Huria, me nga tangata o Hiruharama, a iriiria katoatia ana e ia ki te awa ki Horano, me te whaki ano i o ratou hara.

⁶And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

⁶Na ko te kakahu o Hoani he huruhuru kamera, he hiako hoki te whitiki o tona hope; ko tana kai he mawhitiwhiti he honi koraha.

⁷And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁷A i kauwhau ia, i mea, Tenei te haere mai nei i muri i ahau tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau ki te piko iho wewete ai i te here o ona hu.

⁸I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

⁸Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai: mana ia koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

⁹¶ A i aua ra ka haere mai a Ihu i Nahareta o Kariri, ka iriiria e Hoani ki Horano.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

¹⁰A, i taua wa ano i a ia e haere ake ana i te wai, ka kaite ia i nga rangi e wahia ana kia tuwhera, me te Wairua, ano he kukupa, e heke iho ana ki a ia:

¹¹And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹¹A ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.

¹²And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

¹²A i reira pu ano ka tonoa ia e te Wairua ki te koraha.

¹³And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

¹³A e wha tekau ona ra i reira i te koraha e whakamatautauria ana e Hatana; i roto ia i nga kararehe mohoao: ko nga anahera hoki ki te mahi mea mana.

¹⁴Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

¹⁴¶ Na, i muri i a Hoani i tukua ai ki te herehere, ka haere a Ihu ki Kariri, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te Atua,

¹⁵And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

¹⁵Ka mea, Kua rite tenei te wa, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua: ripeneta, whakaponohia te rongopai.

¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

¹⁶Na, i a ia e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Kariri, ka kite i a Haimona raua ko tona teina, ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana: he kaihao ika hoki raua.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁷Na ka mea a Ihu ki a raua, Haere mai i muri i ahau, a maku korua e mea hei kaihao tangata.

¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

¹⁸A mahue tonu ake i a raua nga kupenga, aru ana i a ia.

¹⁹And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

¹⁹A, haere tata atu ana i reira, ka kite ia i a Hemi, tama a Heperi, raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, i te kaipuke ano raua e ta ana i nga korenga o a ratou kupenga.

²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁰Na karanga tonu atu ia i a raua: a mahue ake i a raua to raua matua a Heperi i te kaipuke me nga kaimahi, a haere ana i muri i a ia.

²¹And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

²¹A ka tomo ratou ki Kaperenauma; na haere tonu ia i te hapati ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

²²A miharo ana ratou ki tana ako: i rite hoki tana ako i a ratou ki ta te tangata whai mana, kihai i rite ki ta nga karaipi.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²³¶ Na i to ratou whare karakia tetahi tangata, he wairua poke tona; a ka karanga ia,

²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁴Ka mea, Kati ra, he aha ta matou ki a koe, e Ihu o Nahareta? kua tae mai ranei koe ki te whakangaro i a matou? e matau ana ahau ko wai koe, ko te Mea Tapu a te Atua.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁵A ka riri a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kati te korero, puta mai i roto i a ia.

²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

²⁶Na ka haehae te wairua kino i a ia, nui atu hoki tona reo ki te karanga, a puta ana mai i roto i a ia.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

²⁷A miharo noa ratou katoa, uiui ana ki a ratou ano, mea ana, He aha tenei? he aha tenei ako hou? mana tonu tana nei tono i nga wairua poke, a rongo rawa ki a ia.

²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

²⁸Na paku tonu atu tona rongo ki nga wahi katoa e tata ana ki Kariri.

²⁹And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

²⁹¶ Na i reira tonu, i to ratou putanga mai i te whare karakia, tomo tonu atu ratou ko hemi, ko Hoani, ki te whare o Haimona raua ko Anaru.

³⁰But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

³⁰Na i te takoto te hungawai wahine o Haimona, he kirika, a korerotia tonutia atu ia e ratou ki a ia.

³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³¹Heoi, i tona taenga atu, ka mau ki tona ringa, whakaarahia ana ia; mutu tonu ake tona kirika, ka tahuri ki te taka mea ma ratou.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

³²Na i te ahiahi, i te toenetanga o te ra, ka mauria mai ki a ia nga turoro katoa, me te hunga e nohoia ana e nga rewera.

³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

³³A huihui katoa ana te pa ki te kuwaha.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴He tokomaha te hunga e ngaua ana e te tini o nga mate i whakaorangia e ia, he maha hoki nga rewera i peia; a kihai i tukua e ia nga rewera kia korero, no te mea i matau ratou ki a ia.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³⁵Na i te atatu, i mua noa atu o te awatea, ka ara ia, ka puta ki waho, ka haere ki te wahi koraha, ki reira inoi ai.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

³⁶Na ka whai a Haimona ratou ko ona hoa i a ia.

³⁷And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

³⁷A, ka kitea ia, ka mea ki a ia, E rapu ana nga tangata katoa i a koe.

³⁸And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

³⁸Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Tatou ka haere he wahi ke ki nga kainga tata, ki reira ahau kauwhau ai: ko taku hoki tera i haere mai ai.

³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

³⁹Na ka tomo ia ki roto i o ratou whare karakia puta noa i Kariri, ka kauwhau, ka pei hoki i nga rewera ki waho.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴⁰¶ A ka haere mai ki a ia tetahi repera, ka inoi ki a ia, tuku rawa nga turi ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.

⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

⁴¹Na ka aroha a Ihu, ka totoro tona ringa, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E pai ana ahau; kia ma koe.

⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴²A, puaki kau tona reo, kua kore tona repera, na kua ma.

⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

⁴³Na ka whakatupato ia ki a ia, a tonoa tonutia atu,

⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁴Ka mea atu hoki ki a ia, Kei korerotia tetahi mea ki te tangata: engari haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, a mauria atu mo tou whakamakanga nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

⁴⁵Heoi, i tona putanga atu, ka anga ki te kororo nui haere, ka whakapuakina taua mea, a kihai a Ihu i ahei te haere nui ki te pa i muri iho, engari i noho ia i waho i nga wahi koraha: a haere ana mai ratou ki a ia i nga wahi katoa.
