¹After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

¹¶ A, no ka mutu enei kupu katoa ana, me te whakarongo ano te iwi, ka tomo ia ki Kaperenauma.

²A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

²Na e mate ana te pononga a tetahi keneturio, meake marere, ko tana hoki i matenui ai.

³When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

³A, no tona rongonga i a Ihu, ka tono mai ki a ia etahi kaumatua o nga Hurai, hei mea ki a ia kia haere ki te whakaora i tana pononga.

⁴When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,

⁴A, i to ratou taenga ki a Ihu, he kaha ta ratou inoi, ka mea, he pai te tangata e meatia ai tenei e koe:

⁵for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”

⁵E aroha ana hoki ia ki to tatou iwi, nana hoki i hanga te whare karakia mo matou.

⁶Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

⁶Na haere tahi ana a Ihu me ratou. A, i a ia kahore nei i matara i te whare, ka tono te keneturio i etahi hoa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, kei maumau ngenge noa koe: ehara hoki ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tu anui:

⁷Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

⁷Koia te tae ai toku aro ki te haere atu ki a koe: engari kia puaki mai tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.

⁸For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

⁸He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku, na ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, a ka haere; ki tetahi atu hoki, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga ano hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.

⁹When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

⁹A, i te rongongo o Ihu ki enei mea, ka miharo ki a ia, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te mano e aru ana i a ia, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, kahore ano ahau i kite i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui, ahakoa i roto i a Iharaira.

¹⁰Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

¹⁰A, rokohanga atu e te hunga i tonoa, i to ratou hokinga atu ki te whare, kua ora te pononga ra.

¹¹It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

¹¹¶ Na i muri tata iho ka haere ia ki tetahi pa, ko Naina te ingoa: a i haere tahi ana akonga me ia, he rahi hoki te hui.

¹²Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

¹²A, ka whakatata ia ki te kuwaha o te pa, na, he tupapaku tera e kauhoatia ana mai, he huatahi na tona whaea, a he poutaru tera: he tokomaha o te pa e haere tahi ana me ia.

¹³When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

¹³A, i te kitenga o te Ariki i a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e tangi.

¹⁴He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

¹⁴Na ka whakatata ia, ka pa ki te kauhoa: a tu tonu nga kaikauhoa. Na ko tana meatanga, E tama, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, E ara.

¹⁵He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁵Na ka noho te tupapaku ki runga, ka anga ka korero. A hoatu ana ia e ia ki tona whaea.

¹⁶Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

¹⁶Na ka tau te wehi ki a ratou katoa: ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kua puta ake i roto i a tatou he poropiti nui; A, kua titiro mai hoki te Atua ki tana iwi.

¹⁷This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

¹⁷Na haere ana tenei korero mona puta noa i huria, i nga wahi patata katoa ano hoki.

¹⁸The disciples of John told him about all these things.

¹⁸A ka korerotia enei mea katoa ki a Hoani e ana akonga.

¹⁹John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

¹⁹¶ Na ka karangatia e Hoani etahi o ana akonga tokorua, ka tonoa ki te Ariki, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?

²⁰When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

²⁰A, no te taenga mai o aua tangata ki a ia, ka mea, Kua tonoa mai maua e Hoani Kaiiriiri ki a koe, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?

²¹In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

²¹I taua wa pu ano he tokomaha te hunga i whakaorangia e ia i nga turorotanga, i nga mate, i nga wairua kino; he tokomaha nga matapo i meinga kia kite.

²²Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²²A ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a raua, Haere korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e kite nei, e rongo nei korua; ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera kua ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, e ka uwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore;

²³ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²³Na ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.

²⁴When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

²⁴A, no te rironga atu o nga karere a Hoani, ka timata ia ki te korero ki te mano mo Hoani, I haere atu koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?

²⁵ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

²⁵Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na, kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu whakapaipai, i nga kai papai.

²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁶Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu i te poropiti.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1

²⁷Mona te mea kua tuhituhia nei, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou huarahi i mua i a koe.

²⁸ “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

²⁸Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Kahore he poropiti nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri i roto i nga whanau a te wahine; heoi rahi ake i a ia te nohinohi rawa o te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

²⁹When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

²⁹Na, i to ratou rongonga ai, whakatikaia ana ta te Atua e te hunga katoa i rongo, e nga pupirikana ano, i iriiria hoki ratou ki te iriiri a Hoani.

³⁰But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

³⁰Ko nga Parihi ia ratou ko nga kaiwhakaako o te ture i whakakahore i ta te Atua whakaaro ki a ratou, kihai nei ratou i iriiria e ia.

³¹ TR adds “But the Lord said,” “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

³¹Me whakarite e ahau nga tangata o tenei whakapaparanga ki te aha? he rite ratou ki te aha?

³² They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

³²He rite ki nga tamariki e noho ana i te kainga hokohoko, e karanga ana ki a ratou ano, e mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani; aue noa matou ki a koutou, na, kahore koutou i tangi.

³³ For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

³³I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kihai i kai taro, kihai i inu waina; heoi ka mea koutou, he rewera tona.

³⁴ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

³⁴I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai, me te inu; a ka mea koutou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara!

³⁵ Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

³⁵Otira e whakatikaia ana te whakaaro nui e ana tamariki katoa.

³⁶One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.

³⁶¶ Na ka mea tetahi o nga Parihi ki a ia kia kai tahi raua. A ka tomo ia ki te whare o te Parihi, ka noho.

³⁷Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

³⁷Na tera tetahi wahine hara o te pa ka mohio, kei te whare o te Parihi ia e noho ana; na ka kawea mai e ia tetahi pouaka kohatu, he hinu i roto,

³⁸Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁸A tu tangi ana i muri i ona waewae, ka anga ka whakamakuku i ona waewae ki ona roimata, ka muru ki nga makawe o tona matenga, ka kihi i ona waewae, ka whakawahi ki te hinu kakara.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

³⁹Na, i te kitenga o te Parihi nana ra ia i karanga, ka korero i roto i a ia, ka mea, Me he poropiti tenei, kua matau ia ki te wahine e pa nei ki a ia, tona peheatanga: he wahine hara hoki.

⁴⁰Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

⁴⁰Na ka korero a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E Haimona, he kupu taku ki a koe. Ka mea ia, Korero, e te Kaiwhakaako.

⁴¹ “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

⁴¹Na, tokorua nga tangata i a raua te moni a tetahi kaituku moni: e rima rau nga pene i tetahi, e rima tekau i tetahi.

⁴² When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”

⁴²I te kore nga mea a raua hei whakautu, whakarerea noatia ana e ia ki a raua: tena, ko wai o raua e tino nui tona aroha ki a ia?

⁴³Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

⁴³Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, Ki toku whakaaro, ko te tangata nana te mea nui i whakarerea noatia atu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tika rawa tau.

⁴⁴Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

⁴⁴Na ka tahuri ia ki te wahine, ka mea ki a Haimona, E kite ana koe i tenei wahine? I haere mai ahau ki roto ki tou whare, kahore i homai e koe he wai mo oku waewae; nana ia i whakamakuku oku waewae ki ona roimata, a murua iho ki nga makawe o tona matenga.

⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁵Kihai koe i kihi i ahau: tena ko ia, mai o toku taenga mai, kahore ano i tamutu te kihi o oku waewae.

⁴⁶ You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁶Kihai ko i whakawahi i toku matenga ki te hinu; nana ia oku waewae i whakawahi ki te hinu.

⁴⁷ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

⁴⁷Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, Kua murua ona tini hara; he nui hoki tona aroha; ko te tangata ia he iti nga mea i murua, ka iti ano tona aroha.

⁴⁸He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

⁴⁸A ka mea ia ki a ia, Kua murua ou hara.

⁴⁹Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

⁴⁹Na ka anga ona hoa noho ka korero ki a ratou ano, Ko wai tenei, muru rawa hoki i nga hara?

⁵⁰He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

⁵⁰Na ko tana meatanga ki te wahine, Na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie.
