¹Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

¹¶ Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,

²“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”

²He aha au akonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua? Kahore hoki ratou e horoi i o ratou ringa ina kai taro.

³He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

³Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mo ta te Atua kupu ako?

⁴ For God commanded, ‘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

⁴I mea hoki te Atua, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: a, Ki te kohukohu hoki tetahi i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei kia mate ia, mate rawa.

⁵ But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”

⁵Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou kua tapaea atu ki te Atua;

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

⁶Na kaua ia e whakahonore i tona papa. Heoi waiho ana e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakahore i te kupu a te Atua.

⁷ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁷E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,

⁸ ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

⁸Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.

⁹ And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’” Isaiah 29:13

⁹Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

¹⁰He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

¹⁰¶ A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:

¹¹ That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

¹¹E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te mangai; engari te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te mangai, ma tena e poke ai te tangata.

¹²Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?”

¹²Me i reira ka haere ana akonga, ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe i he nga Parihi i to ratou rongonga i taua kupu?

¹³But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

¹³Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.

¹⁴ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

¹⁴Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.

¹⁵Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

¹⁵Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.

¹⁶So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

¹⁶Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?

¹⁷ Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

¹⁷Kiano koutou i matau noa, ko nga mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te mangai ka riro ki roto ki te kopu, a e akiritia ana ki te poka?

¹⁸ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

¹⁸Tena ko nga mea e puta mai ana i te mangai e haere ake ana i te ngakau; ma ena e poke ai te tangata.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

¹⁹No roto hoki no te ngakau te putanga ake o nga whakaaro kino, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga moepuku, o nga tahae, o nga whakapae teka, o nga kohukohu:

²⁰ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”

²⁰Ko nga mea enei e noa ai te tangata: tena ko te kai me nga ringa kihai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tena.

²¹Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

²¹¶ A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.

²²Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!”

²²Na, ko te haerenga mai i aua wahi o tetahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko taku tamahine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rewera.

²³But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

²³A kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Na ka haere mai ana akonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tatou.

²⁴But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

²⁴Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.

²⁵But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

²⁵Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.

²⁶But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁶Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

²⁷But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

²⁷Ka mea tera, Ae ra, e te Ariki: e kai ana ano nga kuri i nga kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tepu a o ratou rangatira.

²⁸Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁸Katahi ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, nui atu tou whakapono: waiho i tau i pai ai. A ora ake tana tamahine i taua wa pu ano.

²⁹Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

²⁹¶ Na ka whakatika a Ihu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Kariri: a kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira.

³⁰Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

³⁰He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a ratou ano nga kopa, nga matapo, nga wahangu, nga mutu, me te tini ke atu, a tukua iho e ratou ki nga waewae o Ihu; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia:

³¹so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹Miharo noa te mano i to ratou kitenga i nga wahangu e korero ana, i nga mutu e ora ana, i nga kopa e haere ana, i nga matapo e titiro ana: a whakakororiatia ana e ratou te Atua o Iharaira.

³²Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”

³²Na ka karangatia e Ihu ana akonga, ka mea, E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, kahore hoki a ratou kai: e kore ahau e pai ki tona pukutia kei hemo ki te ara.

³³The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

³³Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?

³⁴Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

³⁴Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.

³⁵He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

³⁵Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;

³⁶and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

³⁶A ka mau ia ki nga taro e whitu, ki nga ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

³⁷They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

³⁷A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

³⁸Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁸A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.

³⁹Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

³⁹A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
