¹Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

¹¶ Na ka huihui ki a ia nga Parihi, me etahi o nga karaipi i haere mai i Hiruharama.

²Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

²A, no to ratou kitenga i etahi o ana akonga e kai taro ana me te noa ano nga ringa, ara kihai i horoia, ka whakahe ratou.

³(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

³e kore hoki nga Parihi me nga Hurai katoa e kai, ki te kahore i ata horoia nga ringa, e pupuri ana hoki i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua.

⁴They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

⁴E kore ano ratou e kai ina hoki mai i te kainga hokohoko, ki te mea kahore i horoi. He maha hoki era atu mea tuku iho kia puritia e ratou, nga horoinga o anga kapu, o nga pata, o nga mea parahi, o nga nohoanga.

⁵The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

⁵Katahi ka ui nga Parihi me nga karaipi ki a ia, He aha au akonga te haere ai i runga i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua, a kahore e horoi i nga ringa ina kai taro?

⁶He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁶Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, mo te hunga tinihanga, te mea hoki i tuhituhia, Ko te iwi nei, ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore i ahau, ko o ratou ngakau ia matara noa atu i ahau.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

⁷Otira maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

⁸ “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”

⁸Kei te whakarere hoki koutou i ta te Atua kupu ako, ka mau ki te waihotanga iho a te tangata.

⁹He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

⁹A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena ra ta koutou hanga ki te whakakahore i te whakahau a te Atua, kia mau ai koutou ki ta koutou whakarerenga iho.

¹⁰ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

¹⁰I mea hoki a Mohi, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; me tenei, Ki te korero kino tetahi mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei, kia mate ia, mate rawa:

¹¹ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God. , that is to say, given to God”;’

¹¹Ko koutou ia hei mea, ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou he Koropana, ara, he mea i hoatu ki te Atua;

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

¹²Kahore koutou aianei i te tuku i a ia ki te mea i tetahi aha ma tona papa, ma tona whaea ranei;

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”

¹³Ka waiho e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho, i whakarerea iho nei e koutou, hei whakakahore mo ta te Atua kupu: he maha hoki nga mea pena e meinga ana e koutou.

¹⁴He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.

¹⁴Na karangatia ana ano e ia te mano ki a ia, a mea ana ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai koutou katoa, kia matau hoki:

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁵Kahore he mea o waho o te tangata ka tapoko nei ki roto ki a ia hei whakanoa i a ia: engari nga mea e puta ana mai i roto i a ia, ma ena e noa ai te tangata.

¹⁶ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

¹⁶Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

¹⁷When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

¹⁷A, no ka mawehe ke ia i te mano ki te whare, ka ui ana akonga ki a ia ki te tikanga o tena kupu whakarite.

¹⁸He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

¹⁸Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ha, he kuware ano koutou? Kahore koutou i matau, ko nga mea katoa o waho e tapoko nei ki te tangata, e kore ia e noa i era;

¹⁹ because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus purifying all foods or, making all foods clean ?”

¹⁹No te mea e kore e tapoko ki tona ngakau, engari ki te kopu a puta ana ki te poka? He korero tenei nana kia kiia ai he ma nga kai katoa.

²⁰He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²⁰I mea ano ia, Ko te mea e puta ake ana i te tangata, ma tera e noa ai te tangata.

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²¹No roto hoki, no te ngakau o nga tangata te putanga o nga whakaaro kino, o nga moepuku,

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²²O nga tahae, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga hiahia apo, o nga kino, o te tinihanga, o te hiahia taikaha, o te kanohi kino, o te kohukohu, o te whakapehapeha, o te wairangi:

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

²³No roto te putanga ake o enei kino katoa, a ma reira e noa ai te tangata.

²⁴From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

²⁴¶ Na ka whakatika atu ia i reira, ka haere ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona; a tomo ana ki tetahi whare, kihai hoki ia i pai kia rongo tetahi tangata: otiia kihai ia i ngaro.

²⁵For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁵I reira hoki ka rangona ia e tetahi wahine, he wairua poke to tana kotiro, a haere ana mai, takoto ana ki ona waewae:

²⁶Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁶He wahine Kariki hoki ia, ko Hairopinihia tona iwi; ka inoi ki a ia kia peia e ia te rewera i roto i tana kotiro.

²⁷But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁷Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tukua kia matua makona nga tamariki: e kore hoki e pai kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

²⁸But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁸Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e kai ana ano nga kuri i raro i te tepu i nga kongakonga a nga tamariki.

²⁹He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

²⁹Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Koia kei tena kupu, haere; kua puta te rewera i roto i tau kotiro.

³⁰She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

³⁰A ka haere atu ia ki tona whare, na rokohanga atu e takoto ana tana kotiro i runga i te moenga, kua puta te rewera.

³¹Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

³¹¶ A i hoki ano ia i nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona, haere ana ki te moana o Kariri, ra waenga o nga wahi o Rekaporihi.

³²They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

³²Na ka mauria mai ki a ia he turi e whango ana; ka tohe ki a ia kia whakapakia iho tona ringa ki a ia.

³³He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

³³Na ka tangohia ia e ia i roto i te mano ki tahaki, a kuhua ana ona maihao ki ona taringa, na ka tuwha, ka whakapa ki tona arero;

³⁴Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

³⁴Ka titiro ki te rangi, ka whakapumanawa, ka mea ki a ia, Epata, ara, Kia puare.

³⁵Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

³⁵Na puare tonu iho ona taringa, korokoro noa ana te here o tona arero, na kua tika ana korero.

³⁶He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

³⁶Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata: otira ahakoa te nui o tana whakatupato i a ratou, nui noa atu ta ratou korero haere.

³⁷They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”

³⁷A tino miharo rawa ratou, ka mea, pai tonu tana meatanga i nga mea katoa: e mea ana ia i nga turi kia rongo, i nga wahangu kia korero.
