16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

19 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

20 And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

21 Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

16 Na ka haere ia ki Nahareta, ki te wahi i whangaia ai ia: a ka tomo i te ra hapati ki te whare karakia, ko tana hanga hoki ia, ka whakatika ki te korero pukapuka.

17 A ka hoatu ki a ia te pukapuka a Ihaia poropiti. A, no ka wherahia te pukapuka, ka kitea e ia te wahi i tenei tuhituhinga,

18 Kei ahau te wairua o te Ariki, nana nei hoki ahau i whakawahi, hei kauwhau i te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore; kua tonoa ahau e ia ki te kauwhau ki nga herehere, kia haere noa, ki nga matapo kia titiro, ki te tuku i te hunga e maru ana kia haere noa atu,

19 Ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.

20 Na ka kopia e ia te pukapuka, ka hoatu ki te kaitiaki, a noho ana, Na ka titiro matatau ki a ia nga kanohi o te hunga katoa i roto i te whare karakia.

21 Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.
