Marcos 2

1 When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home. 2 Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. 3 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. 4 When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. 5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 "Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he said to the paralytic— 11 "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."

12 He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

13 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them. 14 As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

15 He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him. 16 The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?"

19 Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast. 20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made. 22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins."

23 He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

25 He said to them, "Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him? 26 How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"

27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

Ka Whakaora a Īhu i te Tangata Pararūtiki

1 Ā, i a ia i tomo ai anō ki Kaperenauma i ētahi rā mai, ka rangona kei te whare ia. 2 Nā, ka hui mai te tini o te tangata, kāhore rawa he wāhi e ō ai rātou, hore rawa i te taha o te kūwaha; ā, ka kōrerotia e ia te kupu ki a rātou. 3 Ka haere mai hoki ētahi, ka kawe mai i tētahi pararūtiki ki a ia, tokowhā ki te kauhoa. 4 Ā, tē taea te whakatata ki a ia i te mano hoki, ka pokaia te tuanui o te wāhi i noho ai ia; ā, ka oti te wāwāhi, ka tukua iho te moenga i takoto ai te pararūtiki. 5 Ā, nō te kitenga o Īhu i tō rātou whakapono, ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "E tama, ka oti ōu hara te muru."

6 Nā, i reira ētahi o ngā karaipi e noho ana, e whakaaroaro ana i roto i ō rātou ngākau, 7 "He aha ēnei kupu kohukohu a tēnei tangata? Ko wai hei muru hara, kotahi tonu ko te Atua anake?"

8 Nā, mōhio tonu a Īhu i roto i tōna wairua, e pēnei ana ō rātou whakaaro i roto i a rātou, ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "He aha koutou ka whakaaroaro ai i ēnei mea i roto i ō koutou ngākau? 9 Ko tēhea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea ki te pararūtiki, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere’? 10 Otirā, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, 11 "Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere ki tōu whare."

12 Nā, whakatika tonu ake ia, ā, tangohia ake ana tōna moenga, haere atu ana i te aroaro o rātou katoa. Nō, ka mīharo rātou katoa ka whakakorōria i te Atua, ka mea, "Kāhore anō tātou i kite noa i te pēnei!"

Ka Karanga a Īhu i a Rīwai

13 Ā, haere atu ana ia i te taha o te moana; nā, ka tae te mano katoa ki a ia, ā, ka whakaakona rātou e ia. 14 Ā, i a ia e haere ana, ka kite ia i a Rīwai tama a Arapiu e noho ana i te wāhi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Nā, whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.

15 Ā, i a ia e noho ana i tōna whare, he tokomaha ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara e noho tahi ana ki a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga: he tokomaha hoki rātou, ā, i aru i a ia.

16 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā karaipi a ngā Parihi i a ia e kai tahi ana me ngā pupirikana, me ngā tāngata hara, ka mea ki āna ākonga, "Kei te kai tahi ia, kei te inu tahi me ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara."

17 Ā, i te rongonga o Īhu, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Kāhore he aha o ngā tāngata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana; kīhai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Nohopuku

18 Nā, kei te nohopuku ngā ākonga a Hoani rātou ko ā ngā Parihi; ā, ka haere mai rātou, ka mea ki a ia, "He aha ngā ākonga a Hoani me a ngā Parihi ka nohopuku ai, tēnā ko āu ākonga kāhore e nohopuku?"

19 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "E āhei rānei ngā tama o te whare mārena te nohopuku i te mea kei a rātou te tāne mārena hou? E kore rātou e āhei te nohopuku i ngā wā kei a rātou nei te tāne mārena hou. 20 Nā, tērā e tae mai ngā rā e tangohia ai te tāne mārena hou i a rātou, kātahi rātou ka nohopuku i aua rā.

21 "E kore e tuia e te tangata tētahi wāhi o te kahu hou, hei pāpaki mō te kahu tawhito; kei riro tētahi wāhi o te kahu tawhito i tōna whakakapi hou, ā, ka nui rawa te pakaru. 22 E kore hoki e ringihia e te tangata te wāina hou ki ngā ipu tawhito; kei pakaru ngā ipu i te wāina hou, ā, ka maringi te wāina, kore ake ngā ipu; engari me riringi te wāina hou ki ngā ipu hou."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Hāpati

23 Ā, i a ia e haere ana i waenga wīti i te hāpati, ka anga āna ākonga ka kakato haere i ngā puku wīti. 24 Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a ia, "Nā, he aha rātou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika i te hāpati?"

25 Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Kāhore anō koutou i kite noa i tā Rāwiri i mea ai, i a ia e ngaua ana e te hiakai, rātou ko ōna hoa? 26 I tōna tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua i ngā rā o Apiata tohunga nui, ā, kainga ana e ia ngā taro aroaro, ngā mea kīhai nei i tika kia kainga, mā ngā tohunga anake, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki ōna hoa?"

27 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Hei mea mō te tangata te hāpati, ehara i te mea ko te tangata mō te hāpati; 28 waihoki ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hāpati."
