Mateus 15

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, 2 "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread."

3 He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’✝15:4 Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’✝15:4 Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9 5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God," 6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth,

and honor me with their lips;

but their heart is far from me.

9 And they worship me in vain,

teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’" ✝ 15:9 Isaiah 29:13

10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand. 11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

12 Then the disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

13 But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

15 Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

16 So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand? 17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man."

21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!"

23 But he answered her not a word.

His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

24 But he answered, "I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

26 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."

27 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table."

28 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there. 30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them, 31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

33 The disciples said to him, "Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?"

They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; 36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children. 39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

Te Akoranga a Ngā Tūpuna

1 Nā, ka haere ki a Īhu ētahi karaipi me ētahi Parihi nō Hiruhārama, ka mea, 2 "He aha āu ākonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a ngā kaumātua? Kāhore hoki rātou e horoi i ō rātou ringa ina kai taro."

3 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou tā koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mō tā te Atua kupu ako? 4 I mea hoki te Atua, ‘Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea,’ ā, ‘Ki te kohukohu hoki tētahi i tōna pāpā, i tōna whaea rānei kia mate ia, mate rawa.’ 5 Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tētahi ki tōna pāpā, ki tōna whaea rānei, ‘Ko tāku mea hei atawhainga mōu kua tāpaea atu ki te Atua.’ 6 Nā, kaua ia e whakahōnore i tōna pāpā. Heoi, waiho ana e koutou tā koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakāhore i te kupu a te Atua. 7 E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa tā Ihāia i poropiti ai mō koutou, i mea ai:

8 " ‘Te iwi nei ko ō rātou ngutu hei whakahōnore mōku;

matara noa atu ia i ahau ō rātou ngākau.

9 Maumau karakia noa rātou ki ahau,

ko tā rātou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko ngā whakahau a te tangata.’ "

Ngā Mea e Poke ana i te Tangata

10 Ā, karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kia rongo, kia mātau: 11 E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te māngai; engari, te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te māngai, mā tēnā e poke ai te tangata."

12 Me i reira ka haere āna ākonga, ka mea ki a ia, "E mōhio ana rānei koe i hē ngā Parihi i tō rātou rongonga i taua kupu?"

13 Nā, ka whakahoki ia ka mea, "Ka hūtia ngā māhuri katoa kīhai i whakatōkia e tōku Matua i te rangi. 14 Waiho atu rātou; he matapō rātou e ārahi ana i te matapō. Ki te ārahina te matapō e te matapō, ka taka tahi rāua ki te waikeri."

15 Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, "Whakaaturia ki a mātou tēnei kupu whakarite."

16 Ka mea a Īhu, "Kei te kūware tonu anō koutou? 17 Kīanō koutou i mātau noa, ko ngā mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te māngai ka riro ki roto ki te kōpū, ā, e ākiritia ana ki te poka? 18 Tēnā ko ngā mea e puta mai ana i te māngai e haere ake ana i te ngākau; mā ēnā e poke ai te tangata. 19 Nō roto hoki nō te ngākau te putanga ake o ngā whakaaro kino, o ngā kōhuru, o ngā pūremu, o ngā moepuku, o ngā tāhae, o ngā whakapae teka, o ngā kohukohu. 20 Ko ngā mea ēnei e noa ai te tangata; tēnā ko te kai me ngā ringa kīhai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tēnā."

Te Whakapono o tētahi Wahine

21 Ā, ka haere atu a Īhu i reira, ka anga ki ngā wāhi o Tāira, o Hairona. 22 Nā, ko te haerenga mai i aua wāhi o tētahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki e te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko tāku tamāhine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rēwera."

23 Ā, kāhore āna kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Nā, ka haere mai āna ākonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, "Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tātou."

24 Otirā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, "Heoi, ngā mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko ngā hipi ngaro o te whare o Īharaira."

25 Ka haere tonu mai tērā, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, kia puta tōu whakaaro ki ahau."

26 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, "Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a ngā tamariki, kia makā mā ngā kurī."

27 Ka mea tērā, "Āe rā, e te Ariki, e kai ana anō ngā kurī i ngā kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tēpu a ō rātou rangatira."

28 Kātahi ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "E tai, nui atu tōu whakapono; waiho i tāu i pai ai." Ā, ora ake tāna tamāhine i taua wā pū anō.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu te Tini Tāngata

29 Nā, ka whakatika a Īhu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Karirī, ā, kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira. 30 He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a rātou anō ngā kopa, ngā matapō, ngā wahangū, ngā mutu, me te tini kē atu, ā, tukua iho e rātou ki ngā waewae o Īhu; ā, whakaorangia ana rātou e ia. 31 Mīharo noa te mano i tō rātou kitenga i ngā wahangū e kōrero ana, i ngā mutu e ora ana, i ngā kopa e haere ana, i ngā matapō e titiro ana; ā, whakakorōriatia ana e rātou te Atua o Īharaira.

Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Whā Mano mā

32 Nā, ka karangatia e Īhu āna ākonga, ka mea, "E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki ō rātou rā e noho ana ki ahau, kāhore hoki ā rātou kai; e kore ahau e pai kia tonoa pukutia, kei hemo ki te ara."

33 Nā, ko te meatanga a āna ākonga ki a ia, "Nō hea ā tātou taro i te koraha, e mākona ai tēnei ope nui?"

34 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "E hia ā koutou taro?"

Ka mea rātou, "E whitu, me ngā ika nonohi, torutoru nei."

35 Nā, ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua; 36 ā, ka mau ia ki ngā taro e whitu ki ngā ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki ngā ākonga, ā, nā ngā ākonga ki te mano.

37 Ā, kai ana rātou katoa, ā, ka mākona; e whitu hoki ngā kete i kohia e rātou, kī tonu i ngā whatiwhatinga i toe. 38 Ā, ko te hunga i kai, e whā mano ngā tāne, hāunga ngā wāhine, ngā tamariki. 39 Ā, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; nā, kua ū ki ngā wāhi o Makarana.
