Marcos 9

17 Nā, ka whaka­hoki tētahi i roto i te mano, ka mea, "E te Kai­whaka­ako, i kawea mai e ahau tāku tama ki a koe, he wairua reo­kore tōna. 18 Ā, i ngā wāhi e hopu ai te wairua i a ia, ka tāia iho. Tutū ana te huka, tetēā ana ōna niho, ā, pakoko haere ana: i mea anō ahau ki āu ākonga kia peia ia ki waho; heoi, kīhai i taea e rātou."

19 Nā, ko tāna whaka­hoki­nga ki a ia, ka mea, "E te uri whaka­pono kore, kia pēhea te roa o tōku noho ki a koutou? Kia pēhea te roa o tāku manawa­nui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ki ahau." 20 Nā, kawea ana mai ia ki a ia.

Ā, i tōna kite­nga i a ia, nā, hāea tonu­tia iho ia e te wairua; ā, hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka oke, ka huka. 21 Nā, ka ui ia ki tōna matua, "Ka pēhea te roa o te mea nei ki ia?"

Ka mea ia, "Nō te tama­riki­tanga. 22 He maha āna tura­kanga i a ia ki te kāpura, ki te wai, kia ngaro ai: otirā ki te taea e koe te aha rānei, aroha­ina māua, kia puta tōu whaka­aro ki a māua."

23 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te taea e koe te whaka­pono, ka taea ngā mea katoa e te tangata whaka­pono."

24 Nā, karanga tonu mai te matua o te tama, ka mea, "E whaka­pono ana ahau, e te Ariki; kia puta tōu whaka­aro ki tōku whaka­pono kore."

25 Ā, nō te kite­nga o Īhu i te mano e oma mai ana, ka rīria e ia te wairua poke, ka mea ki a ia, "E te wairua reo­kore, turi, ko tāku tēnei ki a koe, Puta mai i roto i a ia, kaua anō e tomo ki roto ki a ia ā muri ake nei."

26 Nā, hāmama ana tērā, hae­hae noa iho ana i a ia, ā, puta ana mai ki waho; nō ka pērā taua tangata me te tū­pā­paku, ā, he toko­maha i mea, "Kua mate." 27 Otirā, ka mau a Īhu ki tōna ringa, ka whaka­ara i a ia, ā, ka whaka­tika ia.
