Mateus 9

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Pararūtiki

1 Nā, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka whiti ki tāwāhi, ka haere ki tōna pā. 2 Nā, ka kawea mai e rātou ki a ia tētahi pararūtiki, e takoto ana i runga i te moenga; nō te kitenga o Īhu i tō rātou whakapono ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "E tama, kia māia; ka oti ōu hara te muru."

3 Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā karaipi ki a rātou anō, "E kohukohu ana tēnei tangata!"

4 Ā, ka kite a Īhu i ō rātou whakaaro, ka mea ia, "He aha i kino ai ngā whakaaro o roto o ō koutou ngākau? 5 Ko tēhea oti te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, haere’? 6 Otirā, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Kātahi, ia ka mea ki te pararūtiki, "Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, ā, haere ki tōu whare."

7 Nā, whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki tōna whare. 8 Nō te kitenga ia o te hui, ka wehi, ka whakakorōria i te Atua, i hōmai ai tēnei mana ki ngā tāngata.

Ka Karangatia e Īhu a Matiu

9 Ā, i a Īhu e haere ana i reira, ka kite ia i tētahi tangata, ko Matiu te ingoa, e noho ana i te wāhi tango takoha; ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Arumia ahau."

Nā, whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.

10 Ā, i a ia e noho ana ki te kai i roto i te whare, nā, he tokomaha ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara i haere mai, i noho tahi ki a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga. 11 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā Parihi, ka mea ki āna ākonga, "He aha tō koutou Kaiwhakaako ka kai tahi ai me ngā pupirikana, me ngā tāngata hara?"

12 Otirā, ka rongo a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore he aha o ngā tāngata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari, o te hunga e mate ana. 13 Nā, haere, ākona te tikanga o tēnei, ‘Ko tāku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, hāunga te patunga tapu.’ Kīhai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia rīpenetā."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Nohopuku

14 Me i reira ka haere mai ki a ia ngā ākonga a Hoani, ka mea, "He aha i maha ai o mātou ko ngā Parihi nohoanga pukutanga, ā, kāhore āu ākonga e nohopuku?"

15 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "E āhei rānei ngā tamariki o te whare mārena te tangi, i te mea kei a rātou te tāne mārena hou? Nā, tērā e tae mai ngā rā, e tangohia ai te tāne mārena hou i a rātou, ā, ko reira nohopuku ai rātou.

16 "E kore e meatia e te tangata tētahi wāhi o te kahu hou hei pāpaki mō te kahu tawhito, nō te mea ka riro tētahi wāhi o taua kākahu i te whakakapi, ā, ka nui rawa te pakaru. 17 E kore e ringihia te wāina hou ki ngā ipu tawhito; kei pakaru ngā ipu, ā, ka maringi te wāina, kore ake ngā ipu; erangi, e ringihia ana te wāina hou ki ngā ipu hou, ā, ka ora taua rua."

He Kōtiro Whakahemohemo me te Wahine Māuiui

18 I a ia e kōrero ana i ēnei mea ki a rātou, nā, ka haere mai tētahi rangatira, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, "Tēnei kua marere tāku tamāhine; otirā, māu e haere ake, e whakapā tōu ringa ki a ia, ā, ka ora."

19 Nā, ka whakatika a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga, ā, aru ana i a ia.

20 Nā, ko te haerenga ki muri i a ia o tētahi wahine, tekau mā rua ngā tau i mate ai i te pākaruhanga toto, ā, ka pā ki te tāniko o tōna kākahu; 21 i mea hoki i roto i a ia, "Kia pā kau oti ahau ki tōna kākahu, ka ora ahau."

22 Nā, ka tahuri a Īhu, ā, ka kite i a ia, ka mea, "Kia māia, e kō! Nā tōu whakapono koe i ora ai." Ā, ora ake te wahine i taua wā anō.

23 Nā, i te taenga o Īhu ki te whare o te rangatira, ka kite i ngā kaiwhakatangi pūtōrino, i te huihui hoki e ngangau ana, 24 ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Whakaatea! Kāhore hoki i mate te kōtiro, erangi e moe ana." Ā, kataina iho ia e rātou. 25 Heoi, ka oti te huihui te pei ki waho, ka tomo ia ki roto, ka mau ki tōna ringa, ā, ara ake ana te kōtiro. 26 Ā, pakū ana tēnei rongo puta noa i taua whenua.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu ngā Tāngata Tokorua, he Matapō

27 Ā, i a Īhu e haere atu ana i reira, tokorua ngā matapō i aru i a ia, ka karanga ake, ka mea, "E te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki a māua!"

28 Ā, ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ka haere atu ngā matapō ki a ia; nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rāua, "E whakapono ana rānei kōrua e taea tēnei e ahau?"

Ka mea rāua ki a ia, "Āe, e te Ariki."

29 Me i reira ka pā ia ki ō rāua kanohi, ka mea, "Kia rite ki tō kōrua whakapono te meatanga ki a kōrua." 30 Nā, kua kite ō rāua kanohi; kātahi ka whakatūpato a Īhu i a rāua ka mea, "Kia mahara kei rangona e te tangata."

31 Ko rāua ia i puta atu ki waho, ā, kōrerotia nuitia ana ia puta noa i taua whenua.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu tētahi Tangata Wahangū

32 I a rāua e puta ana ki waho, ka kawea mai ki a ia tētahi tangata wahangū, he rēwera tōna. 33 Ā, ka oti te rēwera te pei, ka whai reo te wahangū; ā, mīharo ana te mano, ka mea, "Kāhore anō i kitea te pēnei i roto i a Īharaira."

34 Otirā, ka mea ngā Parihi, "Nā te rangatira o ngā rēwera tāna peinga rēwera."

Ka Aroha a Īhu ki ngā Tāngata

35 Nā, ka hāereerea e Īhu ngā pā katoa me ngā kāinga, ā, ka ako i roto i ō rātou whare karakia, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i te tini o ngā mate, i te tini o ngā tūrorotanga o te iwi. 36 Ā, nō tōna kitenga i ngā mano, ka toko ake tōna ngākau aroha ki a rātou, e māuiui ana hoki rātou, e marara kē ana, me he hipi hēparakore. 37 Kātahi, ia ka mea ki āna ākonga, "He nui te kotinga, ko ngā kaimahi ia he ruarua. 38 Nā, īnoi atu ki te Ariki nāna te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tāna kotinga."

1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city. 2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. 3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

9 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners? 12 But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. 16 And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: 21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, 24 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose. 26 And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

27 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

32 And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.
