¹At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.

¹¶ I taua wa i haere a Ihu i te hapati ra waenga witi; a e hiakai ana ana akonga, na ka anga ratou ka kato i nga witi, ka kai.

²But the Pharisees, seeing [it], said to him, Behold, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on sabbath.

²A, no te kitenga o nga Parihi, ka mea ki a ia, Na, au akonga e mea na i te mea e kore e tika kia meinga i te hapati.

³But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?

³Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore koutou i kite i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e hiakai ana, ratou ko ona hoa:

⁴How he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only?

⁴I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, i tana kainga i nga taro aroaro, i nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga e ia, e ona hoa ranei, engari ma nga tohunga anake?

⁵Or have ye not read in the law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

⁵Kahore ano koutou i kite i roto i te ture, e whakanoatia ana te hapati e nga tohunga i roto i te temepara i nga hapati, a kahore he he?

⁶But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.

⁶Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Kei konei tetahi, he rahi ke i te temepara.

⁷But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁷Otiia me i matau koutou ki tenei, Ko taku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu, kahore koutou i whakahe i te hunga harakore.

⁸For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.

⁸Ko te Tama nei hoki a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.

⁹And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.

⁹Na ka haere atu ia i reira, ka tomo ki to ratou whare karakia:

¹⁰And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

¹⁰Na he tangata tera kua memenge te ringa. A ka ui ratou ki a ia, He tika ranei te whakaora i te hapati? he mea hoki kia whakapangia ai e ratou he he ki a ia.

¹¹But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?

¹¹Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko tehea tangata o koutou, ki te mea kotahi ana hipi, a ka taka ki roto ki te poka i te hapati, e kore ranei ia e mau ki taua hipi, e hapai ake?

¹²How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

¹²Na tera noa atu to te tangata pai i to te hipi. Ina, he tika ano te mahi pai i nga hapati.

¹³Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.

¹³Me i reira ka mea ia ki taua tangata, Totoro mai tou ringa. A, no te toronga, kua ora ano, kua pera me tetahi.

¹⁴But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁴¶ Na ka haere nga Parihi ki waho, ka runanga mona me pehea e ngaro ai ia i a ratou.

¹⁵But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

¹⁵Otira i matau a Ihu, a haere atu ana i reira: a he rahi te hui i aru i a ia, a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa e ia;

¹⁶and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

¹⁶A i whakatupato ano ia i a ratou kei whakakitea ia.

¹⁷that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Na ka rite ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

¹⁸Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

¹⁸Na, taku pononga, taku i whiriwhiri ai: taku i aroha ai, ta toku Wairua i ahuareka ai: ka waiho e ahau toku Wairua ki runga ki a ia, a mana e whakapuaki te whakawa ki nga tauiwi.

¹⁹He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;

¹⁹E kore ia e totohe, e kore ia e hamama; e kore ano e rangona tona reo i nga ara;

²⁰a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;

²⁰E kore e whatiia porokeretia e ia te kakaho i mangungu, e kore e tineia te muka e whakapaoa ana; kia puta ra ano i a ia te whakawa ki te wikitoria.

²¹and on his name shall [the] nations hope.

²¹Ka tumanako hoki nga tauiwi ki tona ingoa.

²²Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb [man] spake and saw.

²²¶ Me i reira ka kawea mai ki a ia he tangata e nohoia ana e te rewera, he matapo, he wahangu; a whakaorangia ana e ia, no ka korero, ka kite taua matapo, taua wahangu.

²³And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this [man] the Son of David?

²³A ka ohomauri te mano katoa, ka mea, Ehara ianei tenei i te Tama a Rawiri?

²⁴But the Pharisees, having heard [it], said, This [man] does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons.

²⁴A, no te rongonga o nga Parihi, ka mea, Ehara i a ia nana i pei nga rewera nei, engari na Perehepura, na te rangatira o nga rewera.

²⁵But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.

²⁵A i matau a Ihu ki o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te tahuri iho tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, ka kore; ki te tahuri iho hoki ki a ia ano tetahi pa, tetahi whare ranei, e kore e tu:

²⁶And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist?

²⁶Na, ki te pei a Hatana i a Hatana ano, e tahuri iho ana ki a ia ano; me pehea e tu ai tona rangatiratanga?

²⁷And if *I* cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason *they* shall be your judges.

²⁷A, ki te mea na Perehepura taku peinga rewera, na wai te peinga a a koutou tamariki? na ko ratou hei kaiwhakawa mo koutou.

²⁸But if *I* by [the] Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²⁸Tena, ki te mea na te Wairua o te Atua taku peinga rewera, ina, kua tae noa mai te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki a koutou.

²⁹Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong [man] and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong [man]? and then he will plunder his house.

²⁹Me pehea oti ka tomo ai te tangata ki te whare o te tangata kaha, ka pahua ai i ona taonga, ki te kore ia e matua here i taua tangata kaha? ko reira pahua ai i tona whare.

³⁰He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

³⁰Ko te tangata ehara i te hoa noku, he hoariri ia ki ahau; ko te tangata kahore e kohikohi tahi maua, e titaritari ana.

³¹For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

³¹Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga hara katoa me nga kohukohu, a te tangata e murua: tena ko te kohukohu ki te Wairau Tapu e kore e murua.

³²And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one].

³²Ki te korero whakahe hoki tetahi mo te Tama a te tangata, e murua tana: tena ki te korero whakahe tetahi mo te Wairua Tapu, e kore e murua tana i tenei ao, e kore ano i tera atu.

³³Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known.

³³Meinga ranei te rakau kia pai, a pai iho ona hua; meinga ranei te rakau kia kino, a kino iho ona hua; ma nga hua hoki ka mohiotia ai te rakau.

³⁴Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

³⁴E te uri nakahi, me pehea ka korero pai ai koutou, te hunga kino? he purenatanga hoki no te ngakau nga kupu a te mangai.

³⁵The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things.

³⁵Ko te tangata pai he pai ana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga pai o te ngakau: ko te tangata kino hoki he kino ana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga kino.

³⁶But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:

³⁶Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Me korero e nga tangata, i te ra whakawa, te tikanga o nga kupu pokanoa katoa e puaki i a ratou.

³⁷for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

³⁷Ma au kupu hoki koe ka whakatikaia ai, ma au kupu ano ka tau ai te he ki a koe.

³⁸Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee.

³⁸¶ Me i reira ka ki etahi o nga karaipi, o nga Parihi, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e mea ana matou kia kite i tetahi tohu i a koe.

³⁹But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet.

³⁹Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E rapu ana te whakatupuranga kino, puremu, i tetahi tohu; a e kore tetahi tohu e hoatu, ko te tohu anake o Hona poropiti:

⁴⁰For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

⁴⁰E toru hoki nga ra o Hona, e toru nga po i roto i te kopu o te tohora; waihoki ka toru nga ra, ka toru nga po o te Tama a te tangata ki te manawa o te whenua.

⁴¹Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas [is] here.

⁴¹E ara nga tangata o Ninewe me tenei whakatupuranga i te whakawakanga, e whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i ripeneta hoki ratou i te kauwhau a Hona; a tenei tetahi he nui ki i a Hona.

⁴²A queen of [the] south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon [is] here.

⁴²E ara te kuini o te tonga me tenei whakatupuranga i te whakawakanga, e whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i haere mai hoki ia i nga pito o te whenua ki te whakarongo ki nga whakaaro nui o Horomona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke i a Horomona.

⁴³But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find [it].

⁴³Ka puta mai te wairua poke i roto i te tangata, ka haereere ra nga wahi maroke rapu okiokinga ai, a te kitea.

⁴⁴Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned.

⁴⁴Ka mea ia, Ka hoki ahau ki toku whare i puta mai ia ahau; a, no te taenga atu, rokohanga atu e takoto kau ana, oti rawa te tahi, te whakapai.

⁴⁵Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.

⁴⁵Na ka haere ia, ka tango i etahi atu wairua tokowhitu hei hoa mona, he kino noa atu i a ia, ka tomo ratou, ka noho ki reira; a kino atu i te timatanga te whakamutunga ki taua tangata. Tera ano e pera tenei whakatupuranga kino.

⁴⁶But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

⁴⁶¶ I a ia ano e korero ana ki te mano, na, ko tona whaea ratou ko ona teina e tu ana i waho, e whai ana kia korero ki a ia.

⁴⁷Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, seeking to speak to thee.

⁴⁷A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, Na, tou whaea me ou teina te tu mai nei i waho, e whai ana kia korero ki a koe.

⁴⁸But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?

⁴⁸Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki te tangata i korero ki a ia, Ko wai toku whaea? ko wai hoki oku teina?

⁴⁹And, stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren;

⁴⁹Na ka totoro tona ringa ki ana akonga, ka mea, Na, toku whaea, oku teina!

⁵⁰for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in [the] heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

⁵⁰Ki te meatia hoki e tetahi ta toku Matua i te rangi e pai ai, hei teina ia ki ahau, hei tuahine, hei whaea.
