¹¶ I aua ra i te mea he nui rawa te mano, kahore hoki he kai ma ratou, ka karanga a Ihu ki ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou,

¹In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

²E aroha ana ahau ki nga tangata, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, a kahore a ratou kai:

²`I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

³Ki te tonoa pukutia ratou e ahau ki to ratou kainga, ka hemo ki te ara; i haere mai hoki etahi o ratou i tawhiti.

³and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.`

⁴Na ka whakahokia e ana akonga ki a ia, Me aha e te tangata ka makona ai enei i te taro i konei, i te koraha?

⁴And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?`

⁵Ka ui ia ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu.

⁵And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?` and they said, `Seven.`

⁶Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua: a ka mau ki nga taro e whitu, ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki ana akonga kia whakatakotoria ki mua i a ratou: whakatakotoria ana e ratou ma te mano.

⁶And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.

⁷He ika ano a ratou torutoru nei, he mea nonohi: a ka mutu te whakapai, ka mea ia kia whakatakotoria hoki era.

⁷And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];

⁸Na kai ana ratou, a ka makona: a kohia ake ana o nga whatiwhatinga i toe e whitu nga kete.

⁸and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;

⁹Me te mea e wha mano te hunga i kai: a tonoa atu ana ratou e ia.

⁹and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁰¶ Na eke tonu ia ratou ko ana akonga ki te kaipuke, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Taramanuta.

¹⁰and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

¹¹Na ka puta mai nga parihi, ka anga ka totohe ki a ia, ka rapu tohu ki a ia i te rangi, hei whakamatautau mona.

¹¹and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

¹²Na ka hotu tona wairua, ka mea ia, He aha tenei whakatupuranga ka rapu ai ki te tohu? he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e hoatu he tohu ki tenei whakatupuranga.

¹²and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.`

¹³Na mahue ake ratou i a ia, a eke ana ano ki te kaipuke, rere ana ki tera taha.

¹³And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹⁴Na i wareware ratou ki te mau taro, kotahi tonu a ratou taro i te kaipuke.

¹⁴and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

¹⁵Na ka whakatupato ia i a ratou, ka mea, Kia mahara, kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, i te rewena hoki a Herora.

¹⁵and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,`

¹⁶A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, No te mea kahore a tatou taro.

¹⁶and they were reasoning with one another, saying — `Because we have no loaves.`

¹⁷Ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, he aha koutou ka korerorero ai no te mea kahore a koutou taro? kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano i mahara? e pakeke tonu ana ano ranei o koutou ngakau?

¹⁷And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

¹⁸He kanohi nei o koutou, a kahore e kite? he taringa nei o koutou, a kahore e rongo? kahore e mahara?

¹⁸Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹I ahau i whawhati i nga taro e rima ma nga mano e rima, e hia nga kete ki o nga whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kotahi tekau ma rua.

¹⁹When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` they say to him, `Twelve.`

²⁰A i nga taro hoki e whitu ma nga mano e wha, e hia nga kete ki o nga whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou? Ka mea ratou, E whitu.

²⁰`And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?` and they said, `Seven.`

²¹Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ano ia koutou kia matau noa?

²¹And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?`

²²¶ A ka tae ratou ki Petahaira. Na ka kawea mai e ratou he matapo ki a ia, ka inoi ki a ia kia whakapangia e ia.

²²And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

²³Na ka mau ia ki te ringa o te matapo, ka arahi i a ia ki waho o te kainga; ka tuwha ki ona kanohi, a ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, ka ui ki a ia me kore ia e kite i tetahi mea.

²³and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

²⁴Na ka titiro ake ia, ka mea, E kite ana ahau i nga tangata e haereere ana me te mea he rakau.

²⁴and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.`

²⁵Me i reira ka whakapakia ano nga ringa ki ona kanohi, ka mea i a ia kia titiro: na ka ora ia, a ka marama te titiro ki nga mea katoa.

²⁵Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

²⁶Na ka tono ia i a ia ki tona whare, ka mea atu, Kaua e tomo ki te kainga.

²⁶and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.`

²⁷¶ Na ka haere a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga ki nga kainga o Hiharia Piripai: a i te ara ka ui ia ki ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki ta nga tangata ki, ko wai ahau?

²⁷And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?`

²⁸Na ko ta ratou whakahokinga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri: ki ta etahi, Ko Iraia; ki ta etahi, Ko tetahi o nga poropiti.

²⁸And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.`

²⁹Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki ta koutou na ki, ko wai ahau? Na ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te Karaiti koe.

²⁹And he saith to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?` and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.`

³⁰Na ka whakatupato ia i a ratou, kia kaua ia e korerotia ki te tangata.

³⁰And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

³¹Katahi ia ka anga ka whakaako i a ratou, kua takoto te tikanga kia maha nga mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakinongia hoki e nga kaumatua, e nga tohunga nui, e nga karaipi, a kia whakamatea, a kia ara ano ina pahure nga ra e toru.

³¹and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;

³²I korerotia matanuitia ano taua kupu e ia. Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana.

³²and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

³³Otira ka tahuri ia, a, i te kitenga i ana akonga, ka whakahe ki ta Pita, ka mea, haere ki muri i ahau, e Hatana: kahore hoki ou ngakau ki nga mea a te Atua, engari ki a te tangata.

³³and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.`

³⁴Na ka karangatia e ia te mano, ratou ko ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te mea tetahi tangata kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia i a ia ano, me amo i tona ripeka, ka aru ai i ahau.

³⁴And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

³⁵Ki te whai tetahi kia ora, ka mate ia; ki te mate hoki tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki, ka ora ia.

³⁵for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news` sake, he shall save it;

³⁶A he aha te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka kore he ora mona?

³⁶for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷He aha hoki ta te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mona kia ora?

³⁷Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

³⁸Ki te whakama hoki tetahi ki ahau, ki aku korero, i tenei whakatupuranga puremu, kino, ka whakama ano te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai i runga i te kororia o tona Matua, ratou ko nga anahera tapu.

³⁸for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.`
