Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
I mea ano ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi o te hunga e tu nei, e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te rangatiratanga o te Atua e haere mai ana i runga i te kaha.
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
A, ka pahure nga ra e ono, ka mau a Ihu ki a Pita, ki a Hemi, ki a Hoani, na kawea ana ratou e ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike, ko ratou anake: a ka puta ke tona ahua i to ratou aroaro.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Na kanapa tonu ona kakahu, ma tonu me te hukarere; e kore e taea e te kaihoroi i runga i te whenua te mea kia pera te ma.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Na ka puta mai ki a ratou a Iraia raua ko Mohi: e korerorero ana raua ki a Ihu.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
Na ka oho a Pita, ka mea ki a Ihu, E te Kaiwhakaako, he mea pai kia noho tatou ki konei: na kia hanga e matou etahi wharau kia toru: kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia.
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Kahore hoki ia i matau ki tana e korero ai; i wehi hoki ratou.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Na ko tetahi kapua e taumarumaru ana ki runga ki a ratou: a ka puta he reo i te kapua, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai; whakarongo ki a ia.
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
A, titiro rawa ake ratou ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, kahore a ratou tangata i kite ai, ko ratou anake, ko Ihu.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
A, i a ratou e heke iho ana i te maunga, ka whakatupato ia i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata a ratou i kite ai, kia ara ra ano te Tama a te tangata i te hunga mate.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
A i puritia taua kupu e ratou, ka uiui ki a ratou ano, he aha ra te aranga ake i te hunga mate.
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
A ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, he aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, ko Iraia kia matua puta mai?
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E puta ana ano a Iraia i mua ki te whakatika i nga mea katoa; kua oti ano te tuhituhi mo te Tama a te tangata, kia maha ona mamae, kia whakakahoretia.
Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Kua tae mai ano a Iraia, heoi meatia ana e ratou ki a ia ta ratou i pai ai, nga mea hoki i tuhituhia mona.
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
A, no to ratou taenga ki nga akonga, ka kite ratou he rahi te hui e karapoti ana i a ratou, me nga karaipi e totohe ana ki a ratou.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
A, kite kau te mano katoa i a ia, ka miharo, a oma ana, oha ana ki a ia.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Na ka ui ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e totohe na ki a ratou?
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Na ka whakahoki tetahi i roto i te mano, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i kawea mai e ahau taku tama ki a koe, he wairua reokore tona;
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
A, i nga wahi e hopu ai te wairua i a ia, ka taia iho: tutu ana te huka, tetea ana ona niho, a pakoko haere ana: i mea ano ahau ki au akonga kia peia ia ki waho; heoi kihai i taea e ratou.
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Na ko tana whakahokinga ki a ia, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou? kia pehea te roa o taku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ki ahau.
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Na kawea ana mai ia ki a ia: a, i tona kitenga i a ia, na haea tonutia iho ia e te wairua; a hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka oke, ka huka.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Na ka ui ia ki tona matua, Ka pehea te roa o te mea nei ki a ia? Ka mea ia, No te tamarikitanga:
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
He maha ana turakanga i a ia ki te kapura, ki te wai, kia ngaro ai: otira ki te taea e koe te aha ranei, arohaina maua, kia puta tou whakaaro ki a maua.
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te taea e koe te whakapono, ka taea nga mea katoa e te tangata whakapono.
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Na karanga tonu mai te matua o te tama, ka mea, E whakapono ana ahau, e te Ariki; kia puta tou whakaaro ki toku whakaponokore.
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
A, no te kitenga o Ihu i te mano e oma mai ana, ka riria e ia te wairua poke, ka mea ki a ia, E te wairua reokore, turi, ko taku tenei ki a koe, Puta mai i roto i a ia, kaua ano e tomo ki roto ki a ia a muri ake nei.
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Na hamama ana tera, haehae noa iho ana i a ia, a puta ana mai ki waho: no ka pera taua tangata me te tupapaku, a he tokomaha i mea, Kua mate.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Otira ka mau a Ihu ki tona ringa, ka whakaara i a ia: a ka whakatika ia.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
A, i a ia ka tomo ki te whare, ka ui puku ana akonga ki a ia, he aha matou te ahei ai te pei i a ia ki waho?
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, E kore e puta noa te pena, ma te inoi anake, ma te nohopuku.
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Na ka hapainga e ratou i reira, a haere ana ra waenganui o Kariri; kihai hoki ia i pai kia rangona e tetahi.
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
Ko tana hoki i whakaako ai ki ana akonga, i mea ai ki a ratou, Ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata, a ma ratou ia e whakamate; a, ka oti ia te whakamate, ka ara ake i te toru o nga ra.
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Na kihai ratou i matau ki taua kupu, ka mataku hoki ki te ui ki a ia.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Na ka tae ratou ki Kaperenauma; a, i a ia i roto i te whare, ka ui ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou i korerorero ai ki a koutou i te ara?
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Otiia kihai ratou i kiki: ko ta ratou hoki i kore korero ai ki a ratou i te ara, ko wai te mea nui rawa.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Na ka noho ia, ka karanga i te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te whai tetahi kia whiti ko ia hei mua, ka waiho ia hei muri i te katoa, hei kaimahi ma te katoa.
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Na ka mau ia ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, a whakaturia ana ki waenganui i a ratou: na ka okooko i a ia, ka mea ki a ratou,
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
Ki te manako tetahi ki tetahi o nga tamariki penei, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ia ki ahau: ki te manako hoki tetahi ki ahau, ehara i ahau tana i manako ai, engari ko toku kaitono mai.
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Na ka mea a Hoani ki ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i kite matou i tetahi e pei rewera ana i runga i tou ingoa: na riria iho e matou, kahore hoki ia e haere tahi me tatou.
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Na ka mea a ihu, Kaua ia e riria: ki te mea hoki noku te ingoa e mahi merekara ai tetahi, e kore e hohoro tana korero kino moku.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Ko ia hoki ehara i te hoariri ki a tatou, no tatou ia.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
Ki te whakainumia koutou e tetahi ki te kapu wai, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, no te mea no te Karaiti koutou, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore ia e hapa i tona utu.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Na, ki te mea tetahi kia he tetahi o enei mea nonohi e whakapono nei ki ahau, he pai ke ki a ia me i whakairia tetahi kohatu mira ki tona kaki, a ka maka ia ki te moana.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Na, ki te he koe i tou ringa, poutoa: pai ke hoki mou te tomo mutu ki te ora i te maka ringaruatia ki Kehena, ki te kapura e kore e tineia: (Geenna g1067)
Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e e tineia.
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ki te he ano koe i tou waewae, poutoa: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kopa ki te ora i te maka waewaeruatia ki Kehena, (Geenna g1067)
Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e tineia.
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
A, ki te he koe i tou kanohi, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kanohi tahi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te maka kanohiruatia ki Kehena: (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e tineia.
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Ta te mea ka totea nga tangata katoa ki te kapura.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
He pai te tote: otira ki te pirau te tote, ma te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? Kia whai tote i roto i a koutou, kia mau hoki te rongo a tetahi ki tetahi.
