¹And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

¹¶ Na ka timata ano ia te whakaako i te taha o te moana: he nui hoki te tangata i huihui ki a ia, no ka eke ia ki runga ki te kaipuke, ka noho ki te moana; i uta te mano katoa i te taha o te moana.

²And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,

²A he maha ana mea i whakaako ai ki a ratou, he mea whakarite, i mea hoki ki a ratou i a ia e ako ana,

³Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.

³Whakarongo; Na i haere atu te kairui ki te rui:

⁴And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

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

⁵And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out [of the ground] because it had no depth of earth;

⁵Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te wahi kamaka, ki te wahi kihai i nui te oneone; a pihi tonu ake, kahore hoki i hohonu te oneone.

⁶and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.

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

⁷And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

⁷Ko etahi i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa, a, no te tupunga ake o nga tataramoa, kowaowaotia ana nga purapura, a kore ake he hua.

⁸And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

⁸Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te oneone pai, a whai hua ana; ka tupu, ka nui, ka ea ake, no etahi e toru tekau, no etahi e ono tekau, no etahi kotahi rau.

⁹And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

¹⁰And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.

¹⁰Na ka mahue ko ia anake, ka ui ki a ia ona hoa me te tekau ma rua ki taua kupu whakarite.

¹¹And he said to them, To you is given [to know] the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,

¹¹Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kua hoatu ki a koutou te matauranga ki te mea ngaro o te rangatiratanga o te Atua: ki te hunga ia o waho e ra rototia ana nga mea katoa i te kupu whakarite:

¹²that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

¹²Mo te titiro rawa atu ratou, na e kore e kite; rongo rawa, na e kore e matau; kei tahuri, a ka murua o ratou hara.

¹³And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?

¹³I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kahore ranei koutou e matau ki tenei kupu whakarite? a me pehea ka matau ai koutou ki nga kupu whakarite katoa?

¹⁴The sower sows the word:

¹⁴Ko te kairui e rui ana i te kupu.

¹⁵and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

¹⁵Ko enei te hunga i te taha o te ara, i te wahi e ruia ana te kupu; i to ratou rongonga, na haere tonu mai a Hatana, kapohia ake te kupu i ruia ki o ratou ngakau.

¹⁶And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,

¹⁶Ko enei te hunga i te taha o te purapura i nga wahi kamaka; ko te hunga, i to ratou rongonga ai i te kupu, hohoro tonu te tango, hari tonu;

¹⁷and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.

¹⁷Na kahore o ratou pakiaka, ka whakapakari kau noa: heoi, i te panga o te whakapawera, o te whakatoi ranei mo te kupu, he tonu iho.

¹⁸And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,

¹⁸Na ko enei te hunga i nga purapura i roto i nga tataramoa; ko nga mea i rongo ki te kupu,

¹⁹and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

¹⁹A, i te putanga o te whakaaro ki tenei ao, o te hangarau o nga taonga, o nga hiahia ki era atu mea, kowaowaotia iho te kupu, a kore ake he hua.

²⁰And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred [fold].

²⁰Na ko enei te hunga i nga purapura i te oneone pai: ko te hunga e rongo ana ki te kupu, a tango ana, a whai hua ana, o etahi e toru tekau, o etahi e ono tekau, o etahi kotahi rau.

²¹And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? [Is it] not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?

²¹¶ I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko raro koia i te mehua whakatu ai i te rama, ina mauria mai, ko raro ranei i te moenga? he teka ianei me whakatu ki runga ki te turanga?

²²For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.

²²E kore hoki tetahi mea i huna e mahue te whakakite; kahore hoki tetahi mea i huna, engari kia puta ki te maramatanga.

²³If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

²³Ki te mea he taringa o tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

²⁴And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be [more] added to you.

²⁴I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kia tupato ki ta koutou e rongo ai: ko te mehua hoki e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou: a ka tapiritia ano he mea ma koutou, ma nga kaiwhakarongo.

²⁵For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.

²⁵Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia: ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ka tangohia i a ia ana ake.

²⁶And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,

²⁶I mea ano ia, I rite hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te tangata i maka e ia he purapura ki te oneone;

²⁷and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.

²⁷A ka moe, ka ara, i te po, i te ao, me te tupu ano tera te purapura, te matau ia na te aha.

²⁸The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.

²⁸E hua ana hoki te whenua i tona kaha ake ano; ko te rau ki mua, ko reira te puku, muri iho ko te witi pakari i roto i te puku.

²⁹But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.

²⁹Otira ka rite nga hua, hohoro tonu tana tuku atu i tana toronaihi, kua taea hoki te kotinga.

³⁰And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?

³⁰I mea ano ia, Me whakarite e tatou te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? he aha oti te kupu whakarite hei whakaahua atu ma tatou?

³¹As to a grain of mustard [seed], which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,

³¹E rite ana ki te pua nani, i tona whakatokanga ki te whenua, ko te iti rawa ia o nga purapura katoa i runga i te whenua:

³²and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

³²Otira, ka oti te whakato, ka tupu, ka nui ake i nga otaota katoa, a ka nunui ona manga: no ka noho nga manu o te rangi i tona taumarumarutanga iho.

³³And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,

³³Na he maha ana kupu whakarite pera, i korerotia ai e ia te kupu ki a ratou, ko a ratou i ahei ai te whakarongo.

³⁴but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.

³⁴A heoi ana kupu ki a ratou he kupu whakarite anake: otiia ka noho ko ratou anake, ka whakaaturia e ia nga mea katoa ki ana akonga.

³⁵And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:

³⁵¶ Na, i taua ra, i te ahiahi, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tatou ka whakawhiti ki tawahi.

³⁶and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

³⁶Na, ka mahue iho te mano, ka mauria ia e ratou, i runga tonu ano ia i te kaipuke. I a ia ano etahi atu kaipuke.

³⁷And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.

³⁷Na ko te putanga o tetahi hau, he tupuhi, a eke ana nga ngaru ki runga ki te kaipuke, a tomo noa.

³⁸And *he* was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

³⁸Na ko ia i te kei i runga i te urunga e moe ana: a ka whakaara ratou i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, kahore ou manawapa ki a tatou ka ngaro?

³⁹And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.

³⁹Na ka ara ia, a riria iho e ia te hau, ka mea ia ki te moana, Kati, whakamutua. Na mariri tonu iho te hau, takoto ana he marino nui.

⁴⁰And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith?

⁴⁰Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e mataku nei? he aha koutou te whakapono ai?

⁴¹And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

⁴¹Na ka mataku whakaharahara ratou, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, Ko wai tenei, ina ka rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia?
