¹The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

¹¶ taua ra i haere atu a Ihu i te whare, ka noho ki te taha o te moana.

²And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

²Na he rahi he hui i huihui ki a ia, a ka eke ia ki te kaipuke noho ai; i te takutai ano te hui katoa e tu ana.

³And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

³A he maha ana korero ki a ratou, he mea whakarite; i mea ia, Na i haere te kairui ki te rui;

⁴And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

⁴A, i a ia e rui ana, ka ngahoro etahi o nga purapura ki te taha o te ara, a, ko te rerenga mai o nga manu, kainga ake:

⁵Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

⁵Ko etahi i ngahoro ki nga wahi kamaka, ki nga wahi kihai i nui te oneone: na pihi tonu ake, kahore hoki i hohonu te oneone:

⁶And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

⁶A, no te whitinga o te ra, ngaua iho; a, no te mea kahore he putake, memenge noa iho:

⁷And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

⁷Ko etahi i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa; a, no te tupunga ake o nga tataramoa, kowaowaotia ana nga purapura:

⁸But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

⁸Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te oneone pai, a ka hua, no etahi kotahi rau, no etahi e ono tekau, no etahi e toru tekau.

⁹Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

¹⁰And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

¹⁰A ka haere nga akonga, ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe i korero whakarite tonu ai ki a ratou?

¹¹He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹¹Na, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, No te mea kua hoatu ki a koutou te matauranga ki nga mea ngaro o te rangatiratanga o te rangi, ki a ratou ia kahore i hoatu.

¹²For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

¹²Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia, a ka maha atu ana: ki te kahore ia he mea a tetahi, ka tangohia i a ia ana ake.

¹³Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

¹³Na reira enei kupu whakarite aku ki a ratou; no te mea kite rawa ratou, a kahore e kite; rongo rawa, kahore hoki e matau.

¹⁴And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

¹⁴A ka rite i a ratou te poropititanga a Ihaia, e mea nei, Rongo noa koutou, kahore e matau; titiro noa koutou, kahore e kite:

¹⁵For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

¹⁵Kua matotoru hoki te ngakau o tenei iwi, kua puhoi nga taringa ki te whakarongo, ko nga kanohi kua oti te whakamoe e ratou; kei kite o ratou kanohi, kei rongo nga taringa, a ka matau te ngakau, na ka tahuri ratou a ka whakaorangia e ahau.

¹⁶But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

¹⁶Ka koa ia o koutou kanohi, no te mea ka kite: o koutou taringa hoki, no te mea ka rongo.

¹⁷For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

¹⁷He pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, He tokomaha nga poropiti me nga tangata tika i hiahia kia kite i nga mea e kite nei koutou, a kahore i kite; kia rongo hoki i nga mea e rongo nei koutou, a kahore i rongo.

¹⁸Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

¹⁸Na whakarongo ki te kupu i whakaritea ki te kairui.

¹⁹When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

¹⁹Ki te rongo tetahi ki te kupu o te rangatiratanga, a e kore e matau, na ka haere mai te wairua kino, ka kapo i te mea ka oti na te rui ki tona ngakau. Ko te tangata tenei i nga purapura i te taha o te ara.

²⁰But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

²⁰Ko te tangata ia i nga purapura i nga wahi kohatu, ko te tangata i rongo ki te kupu, a hohoro tonu te tango, hari tonu;

²¹Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

²¹Otiia kahore ona pakiaka i roto i a ia, e mau noa ana mo te wa poto: a, no te panga o te whakapawera, o te whakatoi ranei, mo te kupu, na he tonu iho.

²²He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

²²Ko te tangata i nga purapura i waenga tataramoa, ko te tangata tena i rongo ki te kupu; a, ko te whakaaronga ki tenei ao, me te hangaru o nga taonga, hei whakakowaowao i te kupu, a kore ake he hua.

²³But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

²³Ko te tangata ia i nga purapura i te oneone pai, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki te kupu, a e matau ana; a ka whai hua, ea ake, no tetahi kotahi rau, no tetahi e ono tekau, no tetahi e toru tekau.

²⁴Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

²⁴¶ Tenei ake ano tetahi kupu whakarite i maka e ia ki a ratou, i mea ia, Ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi tangata i rui i te purapura pai ki tana mara:

²⁵But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

²⁵A, i nga tangata e moe ana, ka haere mai tona hoariri, ruia iho he taru kino ki waenga witi, a haere ana.

²⁶But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

²⁶A, no ka pihi ake te rau, ka hua, katahi ka kitea hoki nga taru.

²⁷So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

²⁷Na ka haere mai nga pononga a taua rangatira, ka mea ki a ia, E mara, kihai ianei koe i rui i te purapura pai ki tau mara? No hea ra ona taru?

²⁸He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

²⁸Na ka ki atu ia ki a ratou, Na te hoariri tenei i mea. Katahi ka mea nga pononga ki a ia, E pai ranei koe kia haere matou ki te whakawhaiti i aua taru?

²⁹But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

²⁹A ka mea ia, Kahore; kei hutia ngatahitia te witi ina whakawhaititia nga taru.

³⁰Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

³⁰Tukua kia tupu tahi, a taea noatia te kotinga; a i te wa o te kotinga ka mea ahau ki nga kaikokoti, Matua whakawhaiti i nga taru, ka paihere ai hei paihere kia tahuna; ko te witi ia me kohi ki toku whare witi.

³¹Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

³¹Tenei ake ano tetahi kupu whakarite i maka e ia ki a ratou, i mea ia, He rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te pua nani, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tana mara:

³²Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

³²He iti rawa ia i nga purapura katoa: a ka tupu, ko ia te nui rawa o nga otaota, a whakarakau ana, no ka rere mai nga manu o te rangi, ka noho ki ona manga.

³³Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

³³Tenei ake ano tetahi kupu whakarite i korerotia e ia ki a ratou, He rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te rewena i tangohia e tetahi wahine, a whaongia ana ki roto ki nga mehua paraoa e toru, no ka rewenatia katoatia.

³⁴All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

³⁴Ko enei mea katoa i korerotia e Ihu ki te mano, he mea whakarite; a heoi ano ana kupu ki a ratou he kupu whakarite anake:

³⁵That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

³⁵I rite ai ta te poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, E puaki i toku mangai nga kupu whakarite; ka korerotia e ahau nga mea i ngaro no te timatanga ra ano o te ao.

³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

³⁶Katahi ka mahue i a Ihu te mano, ka tomo ia ki te whare: na ka haere mai ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, Whakaaturia mai ki a matou te kupu i whakaritea ki nga taru i te mara.

³⁷He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

³⁷Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kairui o te purapura pai ko te Tama a te tangata;

³⁸The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

³⁸Ko te mara ko te ao; ko te purapura pai ko nga tamariki o te rangatiratanga; nga taru ko nga tamariki a te kino;

³⁹The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

³⁹Ko te hoariri i ruia ai ko te rewera; te kotinga ko te mutunga o te ao; nga kaikokoti ko nga anahera.

⁴⁰As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

⁴⁰Na e huihuia ana nga taru, e tahuna ana ki te ahi; ka pera ano i te mutunga o tenei ao.

⁴¹The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

⁴¹Ka tono te Tama a te tangata i ana anahera ki te huihui i roto i tona rangatiratanga i nga mea katoa e tutuki ai te waewae, i nga kaimahi ano i te kino;

⁴²And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁴²A ka maka e ratou ki roto ki te oumu ahi; ko te wahi tera o te tangi me te tetea o nga niho.

⁴³Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁴³Ko reira te hunga tika whiti ai me te ra i te rangatiratanga o to ratou Matua. Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

⁴⁴Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁴⁴¶ He rite ano te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te taonga i huna ki te mara; no te kitenga a tetahi tangata, na ka huna e ia, a haere ana, he koa hoki nona, na hokona ana ana mea katoa, a hokona ana mai taua mara mana.

⁴⁵Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

⁴⁵He rite ano te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te kaihokohoko, e rapu ana i nga peara papai:

⁴⁶Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴⁶A, no tona kitenga i tetahi peara utu nui, haere ana, hokona ana ana mea katoa, a hokona ana mai taua peara mana.

⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

⁴⁷He rite ano te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te kupenga i tukua ki te moana, a haoa ana he ika o ia ahua, o ia ahua:

⁴⁸Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

⁴⁸A, ka ki, ka kumea ki uta, a noho ana, kohikohia ana nga ika papai ki nga kete, ko nga mea kikino ia i akiritia ki waho.

⁴⁹So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

⁴⁹Ka pera ano a te mutunga o te ao: ka haere nga anahera, ka wehewehe i te hunga kino i roto i te hunga tika,

⁵⁰And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁵⁰A ka maka i a ratou ki roto ki te oumu ahi: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.

⁵¹Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

⁵¹Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua matau ranei koutou ki enei mea katoa? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ae, e te Ariki.

⁵²Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

⁵²Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Koia te karaipi, i akona ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi, i rite ai ki tetahi rangatira whare e whakaputa mai ana i nga mea hou, i nga mea tawhito, i roto i tana toa.

⁵³And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

⁵³¶ A, ka mutu enei kupu whakarite a Ihu, ka haere atu ia i reira.

⁵⁴And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

⁵⁴A, ka tae ki tona kainga tupu, ka ako i a ratou i roto i to ratou whare karakia, a miharo noa ratou, ka mea, No hea enei whakaaro nui me nga merekara a tenei tangata?

⁵⁵Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

⁵⁵Ehara ianei tenei i te tama a te kamura? He teka ianei ko Meri te ingoa o tona whaea? Ko Hemi hoki ratou ko Hohepa, ko Haimona, ko Hura, ona teina?

⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

⁵⁶Me ona tuahine, kahore ianei ratou katoa i a tatou nei? No hea ra enei mea katoa a tenei tangata?

⁵⁷And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

⁵⁷Heoi ka he ratou ki a ia. Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kei tona kainga, kei tona whare anake te poropiti hapa ai i te honore.

⁵⁸And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

⁵⁸A kihai i maha nga merekara i meatia e ia ki reira, i to ratou whakaponokore hoki.
