16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to heal the broken hearted,

to proclaim release to the captives,

recovering of sight to the blind,

to deliver those who are crushed,

19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled 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.
