¹At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of 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* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force 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 had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

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 said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

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

⁵And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

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 when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased 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 he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

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

⁸But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish 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 on account of the oaths, and those lying at table 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 he sent and 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 dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] 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 came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to 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 it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot 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 going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed 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.

¹⁵But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

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.

¹⁶But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: 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.

¹⁷But they say to him, We have not here save 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 them here to me.

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

¹⁹And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.

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 all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments 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.

²¹But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides 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 he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

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 dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

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.

²⁴but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed 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.

²⁵But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on 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, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

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.

²⁷But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: 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, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to 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 Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to 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 strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, 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 stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

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 when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

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

³³But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

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 crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.

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

³⁵And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that 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 besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

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