¹And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

¹¶ Na ka huihui ki a ia nga Parihi, me etahi o nga karaipi i haere mai i Hiruharama.

²and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands — that is, unwashed — eating bread, they found fault;

²A, no to ratou kitenga i etahi o ana akonga e kai taro ana me te noa ano nga ringa, ara kihai i horoia, ka whakahe ratou.

³for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

³e kore hoki nga Parihi me nga Hurai katoa e kai, ki te kahore i ata horoia nga ringa, e pupuri ana hoki i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua.

⁴and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

⁴E kore ano ratou e kai ina hoki mai i te kainga hokohoko, ki te mea kahore i horoi. He maha hoki era atu mea tuku iho kia puritia e ratou, nga horoinga o anga kapu, o nga pata, o nga mea parahi, o nga nohoanga.

⁵Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?`

⁵Katahi ka ui nga Parihi me nga karaipi ki a ia, He aha au akonga te haere ai i runga i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua, a kahore e horoi i nga ringa ina kai taro?

⁶and he answering said to them — `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

⁶Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, mo te hunga tinihanga, te mea hoki i tuhituhia, Ko te iwi nei, ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore i ahau, ko o ratou ngakau ia matara noa atu i ahau.

⁷and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁷Otira maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

⁸for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.`

⁸Kei te whakarere hoki koutou i ta te Atua kupu ako, ka mau ki te waihotanga iho a te tangata.

⁹And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

⁹A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena ra ta koutou hanga ki te whakakahore i te whakahau a te Atua, kia mau ai koutou ki ta koutou whakarerenga iho.

¹⁰for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;

¹⁰I mea hoki a Mohi, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; me tenei, Ki te korero kino tetahi mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei, kia mate ia, mate rawa:

¹¹and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹¹Ko koutou ia hei mea, ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou he Koropana, ara, he mea i hoatu ki te Atua;

¹²and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

¹²Kahore koutou aianei i te tuku i a ia ki te mea i tetahi aha ma tona papa, ma tona whaea ranei;

¹³setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.`

¹³Ka waiho e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho, i whakarerea iho nei e koutou, hei whakakahore mo ta te Atua kupu: he maha hoki nga mea pena e meinga ana e koutou.

¹⁴And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

¹⁴Na karangatia ana ano e ia te mano ki a ia, a mea ana ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai koutou katoa, kia matau hoki:

¹⁵there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

¹⁵Kahore he mea o waho o te tangata ka tapoko nei ki roto ki a ia hei whakanoa i a ia: engari nga mea e puta ana mai i roto i a ia, ma ena e noa ai te tangata.

¹⁶If any hath ears to hear — let him hear.`

¹⁶Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

¹⁷And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

¹⁷A, no ka mawehe ke ia i te mano ki te whare, ka ui ana akonga ki a ia ki te tikanga o tena kupu whakarite.

¹⁸and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

¹⁸Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ha, he kuware ano koutou? Kahore koutou i matau, ko nga mea katoa o waho e tapoko nei ki te tangata, e kore ia e noa i era;

¹⁹because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.`

¹⁹No te mea e kore e tapoko ki tona ngakau, engari ki te kopu a puta ana ki te poka? He korero tenei nana kia kiia ai he ma nga kai katoa.

²⁰And he said — `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

²⁰I mea ano ia, Ko te mea e puta ake ana i te tangata, ma tera e noa ai te tangata.

²¹for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²¹No roto hoki, no te ngakau o nga tangata te putanga o nga whakaaro kino, o nga moepuku,

²²thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

²²O nga tahae, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga hiahia apo, o nga kino, o te tinihanga, o te hiahia taikaha, o te kanohi kino, o te kohukohu, o te whakapehapeha, o te wairangi:

²³all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.`

²³No roto te putanga ake o enei kino katoa, a ma reira e noa ai te tangata.

²⁴And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

²⁴¶ Na ka whakatika atu ia i reira, ka haere ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona; a tomo ana ki tetahi whare, kihai hoki ia i pai kia rongo tetahi tangata: otiia kihai ia i ngaro.

²⁵for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, —

²⁵I reira hoki ka rangona ia e tetahi wahine, he wairua poke to tana kotiro, a haere ana mai, takoto ana ki ona waewae:

²⁶and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation — and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

²⁶He wahine Kariki hoki ia, ko Hairopinihia tona iwi; ka inoi ki a ia kia peia e ia te rewera i roto i tana kotiro.

²⁷And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children`s bread, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.`

²⁷Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tukua kia matua makona nga tamariki: e kore hoki e pai kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

²⁸And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children`s crumbs.`

²⁸Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e kai ana ano nga kuri i raro i te tepu i nga kongakonga a nga tamariki.

²⁹And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;`

²⁹Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Koia kei tena kupu, haere; kua puta te rewera i roto i tau kotiro.

³⁰and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.

³⁰A ka haere atu ia ki tona whare, na rokohanga atu e takoto ana tana kotiro i runga i te moenga, kua puta te rewera.

³¹And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,

³¹¶ A i hoki ano ia i nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona, haere ana ki te moana o Kariri, ra waenga o nga wahi o Rekaporihi.

³²and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

³²Na ka mauria mai ki a ia he turi e whango ana; ka tohe ki a ia kia whakapakia iho tona ringa ki a ia.

³³And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

³³Na ka tangohia ia e ia i roto i te mano ki tahaki, a kuhua ana ona maihao ki ona taringa, na ka tuwha, ka whakapa ki tona arero;

³⁴and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,` that is, `Be thou opened;`

³⁴Ka titiro ki te rangi, ka whakapumanawa, ka mea ki a ia, Epata, ara, Kia puare.

³⁵and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

³⁵Na puare tonu iho ona taringa, korokoro noa ana te here o tona arero, na kua tika ana korero.

³⁶And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],

³⁶Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata: otira ahakoa te nui o tana whakatupato i a ratou, nui noa atu ta ratou korero haere.

³⁷and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.`

³⁷A tino miharo rawa ratou, ka mea, pai tonu tana meatanga i nga mea katoa: e mea ana ia i nga turi kia rongo, i nga wahangu kia korero.
