¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that *they* were watching him.

¹¶ A, i tona haerenga ki te whare o tetahi o nga rangatira, he Parihi, ki te kai taro i te hapati, na titiro pu mai ana ratou ki a ia.

²And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

²Na, ko tetahi tangata i tona aroaro, he kopu tetere tona mate.

³And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

³Na ka oho a Ihu, ka korero ki nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, ki nga Parihi, ka mea, he mea tika ranei te whakaora i te hapati?

⁴But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

⁴A kihai ratou i kiki. Na ka mau ia ki a ia, a whakaorangia ana, tukua ana kia haere;

⁵And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

⁵Na ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te taka te kaihe, te kau ranei, a tetahi o koutou ki te poka, e kore ianei e hutia ake e ia i reira pu ano i te ra hapati?

⁶And they were not able to answer him to these things.

⁶A kihai i taea e ratou te utu enei kupu ana.

⁷And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

⁷¶ Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki te hunga i karangatia, i tona kitenga i a ratou e whiriwhiri ana i nga nohoanga rangatira; i mea ia ki a ratou.

⁸When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

⁸Ki te karangatia koe e tetahi ki te marena, kaua e noho ki te nohoanga rangatira; kei karangatia hoki e ia tetahi he nui atu i a koe;

⁹and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

⁹A ka haere mai te tangata i karangatia ai korua, ka mea ki a koe, Tukua he nohoanga mo tenei; a ka whakama koe, ka haere ki to muri rawa nohoanga noho ai.

¹⁰But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

¹⁰Engari ka karangatia koe, haere, e noho ki to muri rawa nohoanga; mo te tae rawa mai o te tangata nana koe i karanga, na ka mea ia ki a koe whai kororia ai i te aroaro o nga tangata e noho tahi ana koutou.

¹¹for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.

¹²And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

¹²Na ka mea ia ki te tangata nana nei ia i karanga, E taka koe i te tina, i te hapa ranei, kaua e karangatia ou hoa, kaua hoki ou teina, kaua hoki ou whanaunga, kaua ano nga tangata taonga e noho tata ana; kei karangatia ano koe, a ka whai utu koe.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:

¹³Engari ka taka hakari koe, karangatia nga rawakore, nga haua, nga kopa, nga matapo:

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴A ka koa koe; kahore hoki a ratou utu ki a koe: engari ka utua koe a te aranga o te hunga tika.

¹⁵And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁵¶ A, no ka rongo tetahi o te hunga e noho tahi ana ki te kai ki enei mea, ka mea ki a ia, Ka koa te tangata kai taro i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

¹⁶And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

¹⁶Na ka mea ia ki a ia, I taka he hapa nui e tetahi tangata, a he tokomaha i karangatia:

¹⁷And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

¹⁷A ka tonoa tana pononga i te haora o te hapa, hei mea ki te hunga i karangatia, haere mai; kua rite hoki nga mea katoa.

¹⁸And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

¹⁸Na ka anga ratou katoa ka whakakahore ngatahi. Ka mea to mua ki a ia, Kua hokona e ahau he mara, me haere ahau kia kite: e mea ana ahau ki a koe, kia tukua ahau kia whakakahore.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

¹⁹Na ko te meatanga a tetahi, E rima takirua nga okiha kua hokona e ahau, ka haere ahau ki te whakamatau: e mea ana ahau ki a koe, kia tukua ahau kia whakakahore.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

²⁰I mea ano tetahi, Kua marenatia ahau ki te wahine, he mea tenei e kore ai ahau e ahei te haere atu.

²¹And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

²¹A, ko te haerenga mai o taua pononga, ka korerotia enei mea ki tona rangatira, na ka riri te tangata i te whare, ka mea ki tana pononga, Hohoro te haere ki nga ara, ki nga huarahi o te pa, arahina mai ki konei nga rawakore, nga ngongengonge, nga matapo, me nga kopa.

²²And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

²²Na ka mea te pononga, E kara, kua rite tau i mea ai, a tenei ano he wahi takoto noa.

²³And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

²³A ka mea te rangatira ki te pononga, haere ki nga huarahi, ki nga taiepa, toia mai ki roto nei, kia ki ai toku whare.

²⁴for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore tetahi o aua tangata i karangatia ra e kai i taku hapa.

²⁵And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

²⁵¶ Na he tini te tangata i haere tahi me ia; a ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a ratou,

²⁶If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

²⁶Ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, a ka kore e whakakino ki tona papa, whaea, wahine, tamariki, teina, tuahine, ae ra ki te ora ano mona ake, e kore ia e ahei hei akonga maku.

²⁷and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Ki te kore tetahi e mau ki tona ripeka, e haere mai i muri i ahau, e kore ia e ahei hei akonga maku.

²⁸For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

²⁸Ko wai hoki o koutou, ki te mea ia ki te hanga taumaihi, e kore e matua noho ki te tatau i nga utu, mehemea e ranea ana ana mea hei whakaoti?

²⁹in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

²⁹Kei whakatakoto ia i te turanga, ka kore e taea te whakaoti, a ka tawai mai ki a ia te hunga katoa e matakitaki ana,

³⁰saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?

³⁰Ka mea, i timata te tangata nei te hanga whare, a kihai i taea te whakaoti.

³¹Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

³¹Ko tehea kingi ranei e haere ana ki te whawhai ki tetahi atu kingi, e kore e matua noho, e whakaaro, e taea ranei e ia me nga mano kotahi tekau te tu kite riri ki tera e haere mai ra ki a ia me nga mano e rua tekau?

³²and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

³²A, ki te kahore, i te mea i tawhiti ano tera, ka tukua atu e ia he karere, ka mea ki nga kaupapa e houhia ai te rongo.

³³Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

³³Waihoki, ko te tangata o koutou e kore e whakarere i ana mea katoa, e kore e ahei hei akonga maku.

³⁴Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴No reira he pai te tote: otira ki te hemo te ha o te tote, ma te aha ka whai ha ai?

³⁵It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁵E kore e pai mo te whenua, e kore ano hei whakawairakau; a ka akiritia ai e te tangata ki waho. ko ia he taringa ona hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
