¹At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,

¹¶ I taua wa ka rongo a Herora te tetaraki ki te rongo o Ihu,

²and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.`

²A ka mea ki ana pononga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tenei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; a na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

³For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip`s wife,

³I hopukia hoki a Hoani e Herora, a hereherea ana e ia, a maka ana ki te whare herehere, he mea hoki na Heroriaha, na te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi.

⁴for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,`

⁴I mea hoki a Hoani ki a ia, E kore e tika kia riro ia i a koe.

⁵and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

⁵A, i a ia e mea ana ki te whakamate i a ia, ka wehi i te mano; ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.

⁶But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,

⁶Otira i te taenga ki te ra whanau o Herora, ka kanikani te tamahine a Heroriaha i waenganui i a ratou, a ka ahuareka a Herora.

⁷whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.

⁷Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, oati rawa, kia hoatu ki a ia tana mea e tono ai.

⁸And she having been instigated by her mother — `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;

⁸Na, he mea whakakiki ia na tona whaea, ka mea, Homai ki konei ki ahau i runga i te rihi te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

⁹and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;

⁹Heoi ka pouri te kingi: otiia i whakaaro ia ki te oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, a ka mea kia hoatu.

¹⁰and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,

¹⁰Na ka tono tangata ia, a poutoa ana te matenga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere.

¹¹and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.

¹¹A i mauria tona matenga i runga i te rihi, i hoatu ki te kotiro: kawea atu ana e ia ki tona whaea.

¹²And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,

¹²Na ka haere ana akonga, ka tango i te tinana, a tanumia ana e ratou, a haere ana, korero ana ki a Ihu.

¹³and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.

¹³¶ Na, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka haere atu ia i reira ra te kaipuke ki te koraha, ki te wahi motu ke: a, no ka rongo te mano, ka aru i a ia ra uta i roto i nga pa.

¹⁴And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;

¹⁴A ka puta atu a Ihu, ka kite i te huihuinga nui, ka aroha ia ki a ratou, a whakaorangia ana e ia o ratou turoro.

¹⁵and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.`

¹⁵A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra; tonoa atu te mano, kia haere ai ratou ki nga kainga ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

¹⁶And Jesus said to them, `They have no need to go away — give ye them to eat.`

¹⁶Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore he mea e haere ai ratou; ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou.

¹⁷And they say to him, `We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.`

¹⁷Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Heoi ano a matou i konei, e rima nga taro, e rua hoki nga ika.

¹⁸And he said, `Bring ye them to me hither.`

¹⁸Na ka mea ia, Mauria mai ki konei ki ahau.

¹⁹And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

¹⁹Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki runga i te tarutaru, ka mau i nga taro e rima, i nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia nga taro ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

²⁰and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

²⁰A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona: a kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia ake e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

²¹and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.

²¹Ko te hunga i kai ra me te mea e rima mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine me nga tamariki.

²²And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

²²¶ Na akiaki tonu a Ihu i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, i a ia e tuku ana i nga mano kia haere.

²³and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone,

²³A, ka oti te mano te tuku, ka kake ia ki runga ki te maunga ki te wahi motu ke ki te inoi: na kua ahiahi, a ko ia anake i reira.

²⁴and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁴Na, tera te kaipuke te akina ra e te ngaru i waenga moana: i he hoki te hau.

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,

²⁵A i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere a Ihu ki a ratou, i haere maori i runga i te moana.

²⁶and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — `It is an apparition,` and from the fear they cried out;

²⁶A, i te kitenga o nga akonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, He wairua; ka aue i te wehi.

²⁷and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

²⁷Na kua hohoro te korero a Ihu ki a ratou, te mea, Kia manawanui, ko ahau tenei; aua e wehi.

²⁸And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;`

²⁸Na ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tena, kiia mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai.

²⁹and he said, `Come;` and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,

²⁹Na ka mea ia, Haere mai. A ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Ihu.

³⁰but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.`

³⁰Otira ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; a ka timata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia.

³¹And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?`

³¹Hohoro tonu te totoro o te ringa o Ihu, ka hopu i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te tangata whakapono iti, he aha koe i ngakau rua ai?

³²and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,

³²Ano ka eke raua ki te kaipuke, mutu pu te hau.

³³and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly — God`s Son art thou.`

³³Na ka haere mai te hunga i runga i te kaipuke, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, He pono ko te Tama koe a te Atua.

³⁴And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

³⁴¶ A, i to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta.

³⁵and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,

³⁵A, ka mohio nga tangata o taua wahi ki a ia, ka tono tangata puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa o reira, hei kawe mai i nga turoro katoa ki a ia;

³⁶and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

³⁶Ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu; a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa.
