Marcos 8

1 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them, 2 "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way."

4 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"

5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"

They said, "Seven."

6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. 7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. 8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. 9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.

10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha. 11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him. 12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, "Why does this generation*8:12 The word translated "generation" here (genea) could also be translated "people", "race", or "family". seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side. 14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them. 15 He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

16 They reasoned with one another, saying, "It’s because we have no bread."

17 Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened? 18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"

They told him, "Twelve."

20 "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"

They told him, "Seven."

21 He asked them, "Don’t you understand yet?"

22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

24 He looked up, and said, "I see men, but I see them like walking trees."

25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. 26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village."

27 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

28 They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets."

29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him. 31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him. 33 But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life? 38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels."

Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Whā Mano

1 I aua rā, i te mea he nui rawa te mano, kāhore hoki he kai mā rātou, ka karanga a Īhu ki āna ākonga, ka mea ki a rātou, 2 "E aroha ana ahau ki ngā tāngata, ka toru nei hoki ō rātou rā e noho ana ki ahau, ā, kāhore ā rātou kai. 3 Ki te tonoa pukutia rātou e ahau ki tō rātou kāinga, ka hemo ki te ara; i haere mai hoki ētahi o rātou i tawhiti."

4 Nā, ka whakahokia e āna ākonga ki a ia, "Me aha e te tangata ka mākona ai ēnei i te taro i konei, i te koraha?"

5 Ka ui ia ki a rātou, "E hia ā koutou taro?"

Ka mea rātou, "E whitu."

6 Nā, ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua; ā, ka mau ki ngā taro e whitu, ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki āna ākonga kia whakatakotoria ki mua i a rātou; whakatakotoria ana e rātou mā te mano. 7 He ika anō a rātou torutoru nei, he mea nonohi, ā, ka mutu te whakapai, ka mea ia kia whakatakotoria hoki ērā. 8 Nā, kai ana rātou, ā, ka mākona, ā, kohia ake ana o ngā whatiwhatinga i toe e whitu ngā kete. 9 Me te mea e whā mano te hunga i kai, ā, tonoa atu ana rātou e ia. 10 Nā, eke tonu ia rātou ko āna ākonga ki te kaipuke, ā, ka tae ki ngā wāhi o Taramanuta.

Ka Tono ngā Parihi i tētahi Tohu

11 Nā, ka puta mai ngā Parihi, ka anga, ka totohe ki a ia, ka rapu tohu ki ia i te rangi, hei whakamātautau mōna. 12 Nā, ka hotu tōna wairua, ka mea ia, "He aha tēnei whakatupuranga ka rapu ai ki te tohu? He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore e hoatu he tohu ki tēnei whakatupuranga."

13 Nā, mahue ake rātou i a ia, ā, eke ana anō ki te kaipuke, rere ana ki tērā taha.

Te Rēwena a Ngā Parihi me tā Herora

14 Nā, i wareware rātou ki te mau taro, kotahi tonu ā rātou taro i te kaipuke. 15 Nā, ka whakatūpato ia i a rātou, ka mea, "Kia mahara, kia tūpato i te rēwena a ngā Parihi, i te rēwena hoki a Herora."

16 Ā, ka kōrerorero rātou ki a rātou anō, ka mea, "Nō te mea kāhore ā tātou taro."

17 Ka mōhio a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "He aha koutou ka kōrerorero ai nō te mea kāhore ā koutou taro? Kīanō koutou i mātau noa, kīanō i mahara? E pakeke tonu ana anō rānei ō koutou ngākau? 18 He kanohi nei ō koutou, ā, kāhore e kite? He taringa nei ō koutou, ā, kāhore e rongo? Kāhore e mahara? 19 I ahau i whawhati i ngā taro e rima mā ngā mano e rima, e hia ngā kete kī o ngā whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou?"

Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Kotahi tekau mā rua."

20 "Ā, i ngā taro hoki e whitu mā ngā mano e whā, e hia ngā kete kī o ngā whatiwhatinga i kohia e koutou?"

Ka mea rātou, "E whitu."

21 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Kāhore anō ia koutou kia mātau noa?"

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu he Tangata Matapō i Petahaira

22 Ā, ka tae rātou ki Petahaira. Nā, ka kawea mai e rātou he matapō ki a ia, ka īnoi ki a ia kia whakapāngia e ia. 23 Nā, ka mau ia ki te ringa o te matapō, ka ārahi i a ia ki waho o te kāinga; ka tuwha ki ōna kanohi, ā, ka whakapā i ōna ringa ki a ia, ka ui ki a ia me kore ia e kite i tētahi mea.

24 Nā, ka titiro ake ia, ka mea, "E kite ana ahau i ngā tāngata e hāereere ana me te mea he rākau."

25 Me i reira, ka whakapākia anō ngā ringa ki ōna kanohi, ka mea i a ia kia titiro. Nā, ka ora ia, ā, ka mārama te titiro ki ngā mea katoa. 26 Nā, ka tono ia i a ia ki tōna whare, ka mea atu, "Kaua e tomo ki te kāinga."

Te Pānuitanga a Pita mō Īhu

27 Nā, ka haere a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga ki ngā kāinga o Hiharia Piripai, ā, i te ara ka ui ia ki āna ākonga, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ki tā ngā tāngata kī, ko wai ahau?"

28 Nā, ko tā rātou whakahokinga, "Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki tā ētahi, ko Irāia; ki tā ētahi, ko tētahi o ngā poropiti."

29 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Ki tā koutou nā kī, ko wai ahau?"

Nā, ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, "Ko te Karaiti koe."

30 Nā, ka whakatūpato ia i a rātou, kia kaua ia e kōrerotia ki te tangata.

Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō Tōna Mamaetanga me Tōna Matenga

31 Kātahi ia ka anga, ka whakaako i a rātou, kua takoto te tikanga kia maha ngā mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakinongia hoki e ngā kaumātua, e ngā tohunga nui, e ngā karaipi, ā, kia whakamatea, ā, kia ara anō ina pahure ngā rā e toru. 32 I kōrerotia matanuitia anō taua kupu e ia. Nā, ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga, ka whakahē ki tāna.

33 Otirā, ka tahuri ia, ā, i te kitenga i āna ākonga, ka whakahē ki tā Pita, ka mea, "Haere ki muri i ahau, e Hātana. Kāhore hoki ōu ngākau ki ngā mea a te Atua, engari, ki a te tangata."

34 Nā, ka karangatia e ia te mano, rātou ko āna ākonga, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ki te mea tētahi tangata kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakāhore ia i a ia anō, me amo i tōna rīpeka, ka aru ai i ahau. 35 Ki te whai tētahi kia ora, ka mate ia; ki te mate hoki tētahi, mōna i whakaaro ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki, ka ora ia. 36 Ā, he aha te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, ā, ka kore he ora mōna? 37 He aha hoki tā te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mōna kia ora? 38 Ki te whakamā hoki tētahi ki ahau, ki āku kōrero, i tēnei whakatupuranga pūremu, kino, ka whakamā anō te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai i runga i te korōria o tōna Matua, rātou ko ngā anahera tapu."
