¹Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem — scribes and Pharisees — saying,

¹¶ Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,

²`Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.`

²He aha au akonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua? Kahore hoki ratou e horoi i o ratou ringa ina kai taro.

³And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

³Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mo ta te Atua kupu ako?

⁴for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;

⁴I mea hoki te Atua, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: a, Ki te kohukohu hoki tetahi i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei kia mate ia, mate rawa.

⁵but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; —

⁵Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou kua tapaea atu ki te Atua;

⁶and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

⁶Na kaua ia e whakahonore i tona papa. Heoi waiho ana e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakahore i te kupu a te Atua.

⁷`Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁷E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,

⁸This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

⁸Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.

⁹and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings — commands of men.`

⁹Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

¹⁰And having called near the multitude, he said to them, `Hear and understand:

¹⁰¶ A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:

¹¹not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.`

¹¹E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te mangai; engari te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te mangai, ma tena e poke ai te tangata.

¹²Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?`

¹²Me i reira ka haere ana akonga, ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe i he nga Parihi i to ratou rongonga i taua kupu?

¹³And he answering said, `Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

¹³Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.

¹⁴let them alone, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.`

¹⁴Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.

¹⁵And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.`

¹⁵Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.

¹⁶And Jesus said, `Are ye also yet without understanding?

¹⁶Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?

¹⁷do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?

¹⁷Kiano koutou i matau noa, ko nga mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te mangai ka riro ki roto ki te kopu, a e akiritia ana ki te poka?

¹⁸but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

¹⁸Tena ko nga mea e puta mai ana i te mangai e haere ake ana i te ngakau; ma ena e poke ai te tangata.

¹⁹for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:

¹⁹No roto hoki no te ngakau te putanga ake o nga whakaaro kino, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga moepuku, o nga tahae, o nga whakapae teka, o nga kohukohu:

²⁰these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.`

²⁰Ko nga mea enei e noa ai te tangata: tena ko te kai me nga ringa kihai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tena.

²¹And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

²¹¶ A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.

²²and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, `Deal kindly with me, Sir — Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.`

²²Na, ko te haerenga mai i aua wahi o tetahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko taku tamahine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rewera.

²³And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying — `Let her away, because she crieth after us;`

²³A kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Na ka haere mai ana akonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tatou.

²⁴and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.`

²⁴Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.

²⁵And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;`

²⁵Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.

²⁶and he answering said, `It is not good to take the children`s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.`

²⁶Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

²⁷And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords` table;`

²⁷Ka mea tera, Ae ra, e te Ariki: e kai ana ano nga kuri i nga kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tepu a o ratou rangatira.

²⁸then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;` and her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁸Katahi ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, nui atu tou whakapono: waiho i tau i pai ai. A ora ake tana tamahine i taua wa pu ano.

²⁹And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,

²⁹¶ Na ka whakatika a Ihu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Kariri: a kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira.

³⁰and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

³⁰He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a ratou ano nga kopa, nga matapo, nga wahangu, nga mutu, me te tini ke atu, a tukua iho e ratou ki nga waewae o Ihu; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia:

³¹so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹Miharo noa te mano i to ratou kitenga i nga wahangu e korero ana, i nga mutu e ora ana, i nga kopa e haere ana, i nga matapo e titiro ana: a whakakororiatia ana e ratou te Atua o Iharaira.

³²And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.`

³²Na ka karangatia e Ihu ana akonga, ka mea, E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, kahore hoki a ratou kai: e kore ahau e pai ki tona pukutia kei hemo ki te ara.

³³And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?`

³³Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?

³⁴And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?` and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.`

³⁴Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.

³⁵And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

³⁵Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;

³⁶and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁶A ka mau ia ki nga taro e whitu, ki nga ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

³⁷And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

³⁷A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

³⁸and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

³⁸A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.

³⁹And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.

³⁹A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
