¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

¹¶ Na ka karangatia e ia te tekau ma rua, ka hoatu ki a ratou he kaha, he mana, e peia ai nga rewera katoa, e ora ai nga mate.

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

²A tonoa ana ratou e ia ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te whakaora hoki i te hunga e mate ana.

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

³I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kaua tetahi mea e mauria ki te ara, kaua he tokotoko, kaua he putea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni; kaua ano e takiruatia he koti.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁴A ka tomo koutou ki tetahi whare, hei reira noho ai a haere noa i reira.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁵A, ki te kahore etahi e manako ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i taua pa, ruia atu te puehu o o koutou waewae, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁶Na, ko to ratou mawehetanga atu, ka haereerea e ratou nga kainga, me te kauwhau i te rongopai, me te whakaora i nga wahi katoa.

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁷A ka rongo a Herora tetaraki i nga mea katoa i meinga e ia: a he nui tona pororaru, no te mea ki ta etahi ki, kua ara mai a Hoani i te hunga mate;

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁸Ki ta etahi, kua puta mai a Iraia; ki ta etahi, kua ara mai tetahi o nga poropiti onamata.

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

⁹Na ka mea a Herora, I poutoa e ahau te matenga o Hoani: ko wai hoki tenei mona nei enei korero ka rangona nei e ahau? A ka whai ia kia kite i a ia.

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹⁰¶ A, no te hokinga mai o nga apotoro, ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou. A ka tango ia i a ratou, ka haere ko ratou anake ki tetahi pa, ko Petahaira te ingoa.

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹¹Otira, i te kitenga o nga mano, ka aru i a ia: a ka manaaki ia i a ratou, ka korerotia ki a ratou te rangatiratanga o te Atua, whakaorangia ana hoki e ia te hunga e mea ana kia rongoatia.

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹²Na kua titaha haere te ra; a ka haere mai te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ia, Tonoa te mano, kia haere ai ki nga kainga, ki nga whenua i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, moe ai, ki te mea kei hoki ma ratou; he wahi koraha hoki tenei i a tatou nei.

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

¹³A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou. ka mea ratou, heoi ano a matou e rima nga taro, e rua nga ika; ki te kahore ano ia matou e haere ki te hoko kai ma tenei iwi katoa.

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁴Me te mea ano e rima mano nga tane. Ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Meinga ratou kia noho, kia rima tekau ki te nohoanga.

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁵A pera ana ratou, meinga katoatia ana kia noho.

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁶Na ka mau ia ki nga taro e rima, ki nga ika e rua, ka titiro ake ki te rangi, ka whakapai i aua mea, ka whawhati, ka hoatu ki nga akonga kia whakatakotoria atu ma te mano.

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁷Na ka kai ratou, ka makona katoa: a kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia ake e ratou, he toenga na ratou no nga whatiwhatinga.

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁸¶ A, i a ia e inoi ana ko ia anake, i a ia ano ana akonga: na ka ui ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko wai ahau ki te ki a te mano?

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

¹⁹Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki ta etahi ia, ko iraia; ki ta etahi, kua ara mai tetahi o nga poropiti onamata.

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²⁰Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki ta koutou na ki, ko wai ahau? Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea, Ko te Karaiti a te Atua.

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²¹Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou, ka mea, kia kaua tenei e korerotia ki te tangata;

²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²²I mea ano ia, Kua takoto te tikanga kia maha nga mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakahoretia ano ia e nga kaumatua, e nga tohunga nui, e nga karaipi, kia whakamatea, a i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²³I mea ano ia ki a ratou katoa, Ki te mea tetahi kia haere mai i muri i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, me amo tona ripeka i nga ra katoa, ka aru ai i ahau.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁴Ki te whai hoki tetahi kia ora, ka mate ia: otira ki te mate tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka ora ia.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁵He aha oti te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka ngaro ko ia ano, ka riro ranei i te he?

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁶Ki te whakama hoki tetahi ki ahau, a ki aku korero, ka whakama ano te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai ia i runga i tona ake kororia, i te kororia hoki o te Matua, o nga anahera tapu.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁷Na he pono taku korero ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi o te hunga e tu nei e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁸¶ A ka tata ki te waru o nga ra i muri i enei korero, ka mau ia ki a Pita, ki a Hoani, ki a Hemi, ka haere ki runga ki te maunga ki te inoi.

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

²⁹A, i a ia e inoi ana, ka puta ke te ahau o tona mata, ma tonu tona kakahu, kanapa tonu.

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³⁰Na, tokorua nga tangata e korero tahi ana me ia, ko Mohi raua ko Iraia:

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³¹I puta kororia mai, i korero ano ki tona matenga meake nei rite i a ia ki Hiruharama.

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³²I pehia hoki a Pita ratou ko ona hoa e te moe: a, i to ratou aranga ake, ka kite i tona kororia, me nga tangata tokorua e tu tahi ana me ia.

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³³A i a raua e mawehe atu ana i a ia, ka mea a Pita ki a Ihu, E kara, he pai kia noho tatou i konei: na kia hanga e matou etahi wharau kia toru; kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia: kihai ia i mohio ki tana i korero ai.

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁴A i a ia e korero ana i enei mea, ka puta he kapua, a taumaru iho ana ki a ratou: a mataku ana ratou i to ratou haerenga ki roto ki te kapua.

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁵Na ka puta mai he reo i te kapua, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei, ko taku i whiriwhiri ai: whakarongo ki a ia.

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁶A, no te putanga o te reo, ko Ihu anake i kitea. A whakarongo puku ana ratou, kihai hoki i korerotia e ratou ki te tangata i aua ra tetahi o nga mea i kite ai ratou.

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁷¶ Na, i te aonga ake o te ra, i a ratou kua tatu iho i runga i te maunga, he rahi te hui i tutaki ki a ia.

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁸Na ka karanga tetahi tangata i roto i te mano, ka mea, Tena koa, e te Kaiwhakaako, titiro mai ki taku tama: ko ia anake hoki taku.

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

³⁹Na ka hopu te wairua i a ia, inamata ka hamama; na ka haehae i a ia, tutu ana te huka i a ia; whakauaua ana te whakarere i a ia, a maru iho ia.

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴⁰A i te inoi ahau ki au akonga kia peia ia ki waho: heoi kihai i taea e ratou.

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴¹Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, parori ke, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou, o toku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai tau tama ki konei.

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴²Na i a ia e haere mai ana, ka taia iho ia e te rewera, haehaea iho. Na ka riria te wairua poke e Ihu, a whakaorangia ana te tamaiti, hoatu ana ki tona papa.

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴³¶ Oho mauri katoa ana ratou ki te nui o te Atua. A, i a ratou e miharo ana ki nga mea katoa i meinga e Ihu, ka mea ia ki ana akonga,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁴Rongoatia enei korero ki roto ki o koutou taringa: meake hoki tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata.

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁵Otira kihai ratou i mohio ki tenei kupu, he mea huna hoki i a ratou, kei kite ratou: i mataku hoki ratou ki te ui ki a ia i taua kupu.

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁶Na ka puta ake he korerorero i roto i a ratou, ko wai o ratou te mea nui rawa.

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁷Otira, i te kitenga o Ihu i e whakaaroaronga a o ratou ngakau, ka mau ia ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, a whakaturia ana ki tona taha,

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁸Ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te manako tetahi ki tenei tamaiti, na te whakaaro hoki ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ia ki ahau: ki te manako hoki tetahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki toku kaitono mai: na, ko te iti rawa i roto i a koutou katoa ko ia hei mea nui.

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁴⁹Na, ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea, E kara, i kite matou i tetahi e pei rewera ana i runga i tou ingoa; a riria iho e matou, mona kahore e haere tahi tatou.

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵⁰Otira i mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kaua e riria: ki te mea hoki ehara tetahi i te hoa whawhai no koutou, no koutou ia.

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵¹¶ A, no ka tata nga ra mo tona tangohanga ki runga, ka whakamau tona kanohi ki te haere ki Hiruharama,

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵²A ka tonoa atu e ia he karere i mua i tona aroaro: a ka haere ratou, ka tomo ki tetahi kainga o nga Hamari ki te mea tukunga iho mona.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵³Heoi kihai era i manako ki a ia, ko te ahua hoki o tona kanohi me te mea e haere ana ia ki Hiruharama.

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁴A, no te kitenga o ana akonga, o Hemi raua ko Hoani, ka mea raua, E te Ariki, e pai ana ranei koe kia korerotia e maua he kapura kia heke iho i te rangi, hei whakangaro i a ratou?

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁵Otira ka tahuri ia, ka riria raua, kahore korua e matau no tehea wairua korua.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁶Kihai hoki te Tama a te tangata i haere mai ki te whakamate tangata, engari ki te whakaora. na haere ana ratou he kainga ke.

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁷¶ A, i a ratou e haere ana i te ara, ka mea tetahi tangata ki a ia, Ka aru ahau i a koe ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁸Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, He rua o nga pokiha, he kohanga o nga manu o te rangi; tena ko te Tama a te tangata hore ona wahi e takoto ai tona matenga.

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁵⁹Ka mea ia ki tetahi atu, Arumia mai ahau. A ka mea ia, E te Ariki, tukua ahau kia matua haere ki te tanu i toku papa.

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶⁰Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Waiho ma nga tupapaku e tanu o ratou na tupapaku: ko koe ia me haere ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶¹Ka mea hoki tetahi atu, E te Ariki, ka aru ahau i a koe; otira tukua ahau kia matua poroporoaki ki te hunga i toku whare.

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

⁶²Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te pa te ringa o tetahi ki te parau, a ka titiro ki muri, e kore ia e tau mo te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
