¹He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

¹¶ Na ka whakatika ia i reira, haere ana ki nga wahi o Huria ki tera taha o Horano: na ka huihui mai ano nga mano ki a ia; ka whakaako ano ia i a ratou, ko tana tikanga hoki tera.

²Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

²Na ka haere mai nga Parihi, ka ui ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarere te tangata i tana wahine? he whakamatautau hoki mona.

³He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

³Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, he aha ta Mohi i mea ai ki a koutou?

⁴They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

⁴Ka ki ratou, I tukua e Mohi kia tuhituhia he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai.

⁵But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

⁵Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tuhituhia ai e ia tenei kupu ako ki a koutou.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. Genesis 1:27

⁶I te orokohanganga ia, i hanga raua e te Atua he tane, he wahine.

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

⁷Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa me tona whaea, ka piri ki tana wahine;

⁸ and the two will become one flesh, Genesis 2:24 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁸Hei kikokiko kotahi hoki raua tokorua: na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

⁹Na, ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.

¹⁰In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

¹⁰A i te whare ka ui ano ana akonga ki a ia ki taua mea.

¹¹He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

¹¹Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia, e hara ana ki tera.

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”

¹²Ki te whakarere hoki te wahine i tana tane, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia.

¹³They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

¹³¶ Na ka kawea mai ki a ia etahi tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otira ka riria e nga akonga te hunga nana i kawe mai.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁴No te kitenga ia o Ihu, ka riri, ka mea ki a ratou, Tukua nga tamariki nohohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁵He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore ia e tomo ki roto.

¹⁶He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

¹⁶Na okookona ana ratou e ia, whakapakia iho ona ringa ki a ratou, manaakitia ana ratou.

¹⁷As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

¹⁷¶ Na, i a ia e haere ana i te huarahi, ka oma mai tetahi, ka tuku iho i nga turi ki a ia, ka ui, E te Kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?

¹⁸Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.

¹⁸Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

¹⁹E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Kaua e kaia, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.

²⁰He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”

²⁰Na ka whakahoki tera, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, kua rite katoa enei mea i ahau no toku tamarikitanga ake.

²¹Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

²¹Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore nei i a koe: haere, hokona au mea, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: katahi ka haere mai, ka aru i ahau.

²²But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Otira ka tuku tona mata i taua kupu, a haere pouri atu ana: he maha hoki ona taonga.

²³Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!”

²³Na ka tirotiro a Ihu, ka mea ki ana akonga, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!

²⁴The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁴Na ka miharo nga akonga ki ana kupu. Otira ka whakahoki ano a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E tama ma, ano te whakauaua o te tapoko ki to te Atua rangatiratanga o te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki nga taonga!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Erangi te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira he mea takoto noa, he whakauaua rawa ia te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

²⁶They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁶Na rahi rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko wai ra e ora?

²⁷Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

²⁷Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore tenei e taea e te tangata, ki te Atua ia ka taea: e taea hoki nga mea katoa e te Atua.

²⁸Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

²⁸Katahi ka anga a Pita ka mea ki a ia, Na kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe.

²⁹Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

²⁹Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarerea e tetahi tangata, he whare, he teina, he tuahine, he whaea, he papa, he tamariki, he mara, he whakaaro nona ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki,

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

³⁰Ina, tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, i tenei wa, he whare, he teina, he tuahine, he whaea, he tamariki, he mara, me te whakatoi; a, i te ao meake puta, he ora tonu.

³¹ But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

³¹He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri hoki ki mua.

³²They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

³²¶ Na i te huarahi ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama; me te haere ano a Ihu i mua i a ratou: na e miharo ana ratou; e aru mataku ana. Heoi ka mau ano ia i te tekau ma rua, ka anga ka korero ki a ratou i nga mea meake pa ki a ia.

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³³Nana, e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama; a ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga karaipi; ka kiia e ratou kia mate, ka tuku hoki ratou i a ia ki nga tauiwi:

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

³⁴Ka tawaia ia, ka tuwhaina, ka whiua, ka whakamatea, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.

³⁵James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

³⁵Na ka whakatata mai ki a ia a Hemi raua ko Hoani, nga tama a Heperi, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e hiahia ana maua kia meatia e koe ta maua e inoi ai.

³⁶He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

³⁶Na ka mea ia ki a raua, He aha ta korua e hiahia ai kia meatia e ahau ma korua?

³⁷They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”

³⁷Ka mea raua ki a ia, Tukua ki a maua kia noho, tetahi ki tou matau, tetahi ki tou maui, i tou kororia.

³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

³⁸Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a raua, Kahore korua e matau ki ta korua e inoi nei; e ahei ranei korua te inu i te kapu ka inumia nei e ahau? kia iriiria ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau?

³⁹They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

³⁹Ka mea raua ki a ia, E ahei ano. Ka ki atu a Ihu ki a raua, E inu ano korua i te kapu ka inumia e ahau; e iriiria korua ki te iriiringa e iriiria ai ahau:

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”

⁴⁰Tena ko te noho ki toku matau, ki toku maui ranei, ehara i te mea maku e hoatu, engari ka riro i te hunga i whakaritea nei mo ratou.

⁴¹When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

⁴¹A, no te rongonga o te tekau, ka anga ka riri ki a Hemi raua ko Hoani.

⁴²Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴²Na karangatia ana ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E mahara ana koutou, ko te hunga e kiia ana he kawana no nga tauiwi hei whakatupu rangatira ki a ratou; ko o ratou tangata rarahi hoki hei akiaki i a ratou.

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

⁴³Otira e kore e pera i roto i a koutou: engari ki te mea tetahi kia whakatupu tangata rahi i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu kaimahi ia ma koutou:

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

⁴⁴Ki te mea hoki tetahi o koutou kia whakatupu tino tangata, me whakatupu pononga ia ma te katoa.

⁴⁵ For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

⁴⁵Kihai nei hoki te Tama a te tangata i haere mai kia mahia he mea mana, engari kia mahi ia, kia tuku hoki i a ia kia mate hei utu mo nga tangata tokomaha.

⁴⁶They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

⁴⁶¶ Na ka tae ratou ki Heriko: a, i a ia e haere atu ana i roto i Heriko, ratou ko ana akonga me te mano tini, e noho ana a paratimiuha, tama a Timiuha, he matapo, i te taha o te ara, ki te tono mea mana.

⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁷A, i tona rongonga ko Ihu o Nahareta tena, ka anga ia ka karanga, ka mea, E ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

⁴⁸Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁸A he tokomaha ki te riri i a ia kia noho puku, heoi tino rahi ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

⁴⁹Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

⁴⁹Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia karangatia ia. A karangatia ana e ratou te matapo, ka mea ki a ia, Kia maia, whakatika; e karanga ana ia ki a koe.

⁵⁰He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵⁰Na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki a Ihu.

⁵¹Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” that I may see again.”

⁵¹Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tau e hiahia na kia meatia e ahau mau? Ka ki te matapo ki a ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.

⁵²Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

⁵²Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai. Na titiro tonu iho ia, aru ana i a Ihu i te ara.
