Matthew 15
1 THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying,
Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread?
He aha au akonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua? Kahore hoki ratou e horoi i o ratou ringa ina kai taro.
3 And he answering said to them, And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition?
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mo ta te Atua kupu ako?
4 For God commanded, saying “Honour thy father and thy mother:” and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.
I mea hoki te Atua, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: a, Ki te kohukohu hoki tetahi i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei kia mate ia, mate rawa.
5 But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a devoted gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage;
Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou kua tapaea atu ki te Atua;
6 then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition.
Na kaua ia e whakahonore i tona papa. Heoi waiho ana e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakahore i te kupu a te Atua.
7 Ye hypocrites, well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you, saying,
E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,
8 This people draweth nigh to me with their mouths, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is far distant from me.
Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.
9 But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men.
Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.
10 And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:
11 not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but what cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man.
E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te mangai; engari te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te mangai, ma tena e poke ai te tangata.
12 Then his disciples approaching, said to him, Knowest thou how offended the Pharisees were at hearing that speech?
Me i reira ka haere ana akonga, ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe i he nga Parihi i to ratou rongonga i taua kupu?
13 Then he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.
Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.
14 Leave them to themselves: they are blind leaders of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit.
Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.
15 Then Peter answering said unto him, Explain to us this parable.
Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence?
Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?
17 Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault?
Kiano koutou i matau noa, ko nga mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te mangai ka riro ki roto ki te kopu, a e akiritia ana ki te poka?
18 But the things which go forth out of the mouth, come out of the heart, and they are the things which defile a man:
Tena ko nga mea e puta mai ana i te mangai e haere ake ana i te ngakau; ma ena e poke ai te tangata.
19 for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies:
No roto hoki no te ngakau te putanga ake o nga whakaaro kino, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga moepuku, o nga tahae, o nga whakapae teka, o nga kohukohu:
20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
Ko nga mea enei e noa ai te tangata: tena ko te kai me nga ringa kihai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tena.
21 And going forth thence, Jesus retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.
22 And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac.
Na, ko te haerenga mai i aua wahi o tetahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko taku tamahine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rewera.
23 But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us.
A kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Na ka haere mai ana akonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tatou.
24 But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.
25 Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me!
Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.
26 But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.
27 And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table.
Ka mea tera, Ae ra, e te Ariki: e kai ana ano nga kuri i nga kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tepu a o ratou rangatira.
28 Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.
Katahi ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, nui atu tou whakapono: waiho i tau i pai ai. A ora ake tana tamahine i taua wa pu ano.
29 And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there.
Na ka whakatika a Ihu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Kariri: a kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira.
30 And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all:
He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a ratou ano nga kopa, nga matapo, nga wahangu, nga mutu, me te tini ke atu, a tukua iho e ratou ki nga waewae o Ihu; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia:
31 insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Miharo noa te mano i to ratou kitenga i nga wahangu e korero ana, i nga mutu e ora ana, i nga kopa e haere ana, i nga matapo e titiro ana: a whakakororiatia ana e ratou te Atua o Iharaira.
32 Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road.
Na ka karangatia e Ihu ana akonga, ka mea, E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, kahore hoki a ratou kai: e kore ahau e pai ki tona pukutia kei hemo ki te ara.
33 And his disciples said unto him, Whence can we in the wilderness have loaves enough to satisfy the cravings of so great a multitude?
Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?
34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;
36 And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
A ka mau ia ki nga taro e whitu, ki nga ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and took up a superabundance of fragments seven baskets full.
A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.
38 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.
39 And dismissing the multitudes he went on board a vessel, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
