Mateus 9

1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city. 2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you."

3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."

4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—" (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house."

7 He arose and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him. 10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. 13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’✝9:13 Hosea 6:6 for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."*9:13 NU omits "to repentance".

14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?"

15 Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made. 17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples. 20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe*9:20 or, tassel of his garment; 21 for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."

22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 24 he said to them, "Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping."

They were ridiculing him. 25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 The report of this went out into all that land.

27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David!" 28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"

They told him, "Yes, Lord."

29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this." 31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him. 33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."

35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed*9:36 TR reads "weary" instead of "harassed" and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Pararūtiki

1 Nā, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka whiti ki tāwāhi, ka haere ki tōna pā. 2 Nā, ka kawea mai e rātou ki a ia tētahi pararūtiki, e takoto ana i runga i te moenga; nō te kitenga o Īhu i tō rātou whakapono ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "E tama, kia māia; ka oti ōu hara te muru."

3 Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā karaipi ki a rātou anō, "E kohukohu ana tēnei tangata!"

4 Ā, ka kite a Īhu i ō rātou whakaaro, ka mea ia, "He aha i kino ai ngā whakaaro o roto o ō koutou ngākau? 5 Ko tēhea oti te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, haere’? 6 Otirā, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Kātahi, ia ka mea ki te pararūtiki, "Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, ā, haere ki tōu whare."

7 Nā, whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki tōna whare. 8 Nō te kitenga ia o te hui, ka wehi, ka whakakorōria i te Atua, i hōmai ai tēnei mana ki ngā tāngata.

Ka Karangatia e Īhu a Matiu

9 Ā, i a Īhu e haere ana i reira, ka kite ia i tētahi tangata, ko Matiu te ingoa, e noho ana i te wāhi tango takoha; ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Arumia ahau."

Nā, whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.

10 Ā, i a ia e noho ana ki te kai i roto i te whare, nā, he tokomaha ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara i haere mai, i noho tahi ki a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga. 11 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā Parihi, ka mea ki āna ākonga, "He aha tō koutou Kaiwhakaako ka kai tahi ai me ngā pupirikana, me ngā tāngata hara?"

12 Otirā, ka rongo a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore he aha o ngā tāngata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari, o te hunga e mate ana. 13 Nā, haere, ākona te tikanga o tēnei, ‘Ko tāku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, hāunga te patunga tapu.’ Kīhai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia rīpenetā."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Nohopuku

14 Me i reira ka haere mai ki a ia ngā ākonga a Hoani, ka mea, "He aha i maha ai o mātou ko ngā Parihi nohoanga pukutanga, ā, kāhore āu ākonga e nohopuku?"

15 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "E āhei rānei ngā tamariki o te whare mārena te tangi, i te mea kei a rātou te tāne mārena hou? Nā, tērā e tae mai ngā rā, e tangohia ai te tāne mārena hou i a rātou, ā, ko reira nohopuku ai rātou.

16 "E kore e meatia e te tangata tētahi wāhi o te kahu hou hei pāpaki mō te kahu tawhito, nō te mea ka riro tētahi wāhi o taua kākahu i te whakakapi, ā, ka nui rawa te pakaru. 17 E kore e ringihia te wāina hou ki ngā ipu tawhito; kei pakaru ngā ipu, ā, ka maringi te wāina, kore ake ngā ipu; erangi, e ringihia ana te wāina hou ki ngā ipu hou, ā, ka ora taua rua."

He Kōtiro Whakahemohemo me te Wahine Māuiui

18 I a ia e kōrero ana i ēnei mea ki a rātou, nā, ka haere mai tētahi rangatira, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, "Tēnei kua marere tāku tamāhine; otirā, māu e haere ake, e whakapā tōu ringa ki a ia, ā, ka ora."

19 Nā, ka whakatika a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga, ā, aru ana i a ia.

20 Nā, ko te haerenga ki muri i a ia o tētahi wahine, tekau mā rua ngā tau i mate ai i te pākaruhanga toto, ā, ka pā ki te tāniko o tōna kākahu; 21 i mea hoki i roto i a ia, "Kia pā kau oti ahau ki tōna kākahu, ka ora ahau."

22 Nā, ka tahuri a Īhu, ā, ka kite i a ia, ka mea, "Kia māia, e kō! Nā tōu whakapono koe i ora ai." Ā, ora ake te wahine i taua wā anō.

23 Nā, i te taenga o Īhu ki te whare o te rangatira, ka kite i ngā kaiwhakatangi pūtōrino, i te huihui hoki e ngangau ana, 24 ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Whakaatea! Kāhore hoki i mate te kōtiro, erangi e moe ana." Ā, kataina iho ia e rātou. 25 Heoi, ka oti te huihui te pei ki waho, ka tomo ia ki roto, ka mau ki tōna ringa, ā, ara ake ana te kōtiro. 26 Ā, pakū ana tēnei rongo puta noa i taua whenua.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu ngā Tāngata Tokorua, he Matapō

27 Ā, i a Īhu e haere atu ana i reira, tokorua ngā matapō i aru i a ia, ka karanga ake, ka mea, "E te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki a māua!"

28 Ā, ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ka haere atu ngā matapō ki a ia; nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rāua, "E whakapono ana rānei kōrua e taea tēnei e ahau?"

Ka mea rāua ki a ia, "Āe, e te Ariki."

29 Me i reira ka pā ia ki ō rāua kanohi, ka mea, "Kia rite ki tō kōrua whakapono te meatanga ki a kōrua." 30 Nā, kua kite ō rāua kanohi; kātahi ka whakatūpato a Īhu i a rāua ka mea, "Kia mahara kei rangona e te tangata."

31 Ko rāua ia i puta atu ki waho, ā, kōrerotia nuitia ana ia puta noa i taua whenua.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu tētahi Tangata Wahangū

32 I a rāua e puta ana ki waho, ka kawea mai ki a ia tētahi tangata wahangū, he rēwera tōna. 33 Ā, ka oti te rēwera te pei, ka whai reo te wahangū; ā, mīharo ana te mano, ka mea, "Kāhore anō i kitea te pēnei i roto i a Īharaira."

34 Otirā, ka mea ngā Parihi, "Nā te rangatira o ngā rēwera tāna peinga rēwera."

Ka Aroha a Īhu ki ngā Tāngata

35 Nā, ka hāereerea e Īhu ngā pā katoa me ngā kāinga, ā, ka ako i roto i ō rātou whare karakia, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i te tini o ngā mate, i te tini o ngā tūrorotanga o te iwi. 36 Ā, nō tōna kitenga i ngā mano, ka toko ake tōna ngākau aroha ki a rātou, e māuiui ana hoki rātou, e marara kē ana, me he hipi hēparakore. 37 Kātahi, ia ka mea ki āna ākonga, "He nui te kotinga, ko ngā kaimahi ia he ruarua. 38 Nā, īnoi atu ki te Ariki nāna te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tāna kotinga."
