Ruka 8
1 A muri tata iho ka haereere ano ia ki nga pa ki nga kainga, ka kauwhau, ka whakapuaki i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua: i a ia hoki te tekau ma rua,
Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
2 Me etahi wahine kua oti nei te whakaora i nga wairua kino, i nga ngoikoretanga, ko Meri, e huaina ana ko Makarini, e whitu nei nga rewera i puta mai i roto i a ia,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Ko Hoana hoki, ko te wahine a Kuha, a te kaiwhakahauhau a Herora, me Huhana, me te tokomaha noa atu; na ratou i mahi etahi o a ratou taonga hei mea ma ratou.
Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.
4 Na, ka rahi te hui i mine mai, a ka haere mai ki a ia o ia pa, o ia pa, ka korero kupu whakarite ia:
As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in a parable:
5 I haere atu te kairui ki te rui i tana purapura: a, i a ia e rui ana, ka ngahoro etahi ki te taha o te ara; a takahia ana ki raro, kainga ake e nga manu o te rangi.
“A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki runga ki te toka; ko te tupunga ake, kua maroke, kahore hoki he makuku.
Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.
7 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa; a tupu tahi ana nga tataramoa, kowaowaotia iho.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te oneone pai; tupu ana, tatakirau nga hua. Ka mutu enei korero, ka karanga ia, Ko ia he taringa ona hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Na ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, he aha te tikanga o tenei kupu whakarite?
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 Ka mea ia, Kua hoatu ki a koutou te matauranga ki nga mea ngaro o te rangatiratanga o te Atua: ki era atu ia, he whakarite nga kupu: kia kite ai ratou, a e kore e kite, kia rongo ai, a kore ake e matau.
He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
11 Na, tenei te kupu whakarite: Ko te purapura ko te kupu a te Atua.
“Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Ko era i te huarahi, ko nga kaiwhakarongo; me i reira ka haere mai te rewera, ka kapo i te kupu i roto i o ratou ngakau, kei whakapono ratou, a ka ora.
The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Ko era i runga i te toka ko te hunga i tango i te kupu me te hari ano i to ratou rongonga; otira kahore o ratou pakiaka, ka whakapono mo te wa poto nei, a i te wa o te whakamatautau ka taka atu.
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.
14 Ko tera i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa, ko te hunga e whakarongo ana, a, ko te haerenga atu, ka kowaowaotia e nga manukanuka, e nga taonga, e nga whakaahuareka o te ao, a hore ake e pakari o ratou hua.
The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 Ko tera i te oneone pai, ko te hunga e tika ana, e pai ana te ngakau, i te rongonga i te kupu, ka pupuri, a hua ana nga hua i runga i te manawanui.
But the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 E kore e tahuna te rama e tetahi, e hipokina ki te oko, e waiho ranei i raro i te moenga; engari ka whakaturia ki runga ki te turanga, kia kitea ai te marama e te hunga e tomo ana.
“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its light.
17 E kore hoki tetahi mea i huna, e mahue te whakakite; e kore ano tetahi mea i ngaro, e mahue te mohio, te puta hoki ki te marama.
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.
18 Na reira kia tupato ta koutou whakarongo: ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia; ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko te mea i mahara ai ia nana ake, ka tangohia i a ia.
Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Na ka haere mai ki a ia tona whaea me ona teina, otira kahore ratou i ahei te tutuki mai ki a ia, i te pipiri o te tangata.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach him because of the crowd.
20 Na ka korerotia ki a ia, Ko tou whaea me ou teina te tu mai nei i waho, e mea ana kia kite i a koe.
So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”
21 Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko enei, e whakarongo nei, a e mahi nei i te kupu a te Atua, toku whaea me oku teina.
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
22 Na i tetahi o aua ra ka eke ia, ratou ko ana akonga ki te kaipuke: a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tatou ka whakawhiti ki tawahi o te roto. Na rere ana ratou.
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
23 Otira i a ratou e rere ana, ka moe ia: na ko te putanga o tetahi hau, he tupuhi, ki te roto; a ka tomo ratou, tata pu te totohu.
and as they were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
24 Na ka haere ratou, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E kara, e kara, ka mate tatou. Na ka ara ia, a riria ana e ia te hau, me te ngaru o te moana: a mutu iho, na kua marino.
So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was calm.
25 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei hea to koutou whakapono? Mataku ana ratou, miharo ana, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko wai ra tenei, ka tapa nei ki nga hau, ki te moana, a rongo rawa ki a ia?
Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 na ka tae ratou ki te whenua o nga Kararini, ki tawahi atu o Kariri.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 A, no tona haerenga atu ki uta, ka tutaki ki a ia he tangata no te pa, he rewera ona, he roa kahore ano i mau kakahu, kihai ano i noho i roto i te whare, engari ki nga urupa.
When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among the tombs.
28 A, i tona kitenga i a Ihu, ka karanga, ka takoto ki tona aroaro, he nui tona reo ki te mea, he aha taku ki a koe e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua, a te Runga Rawa? E, kaua ra ahau e whakamamaetia.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not torment me.”
29 I mea hoki ia ki te wairua poke kia puta i taua tangata. He maha hoki nga wa i hopukia ai ia e ia; e tiakina ana hoki ia, he mea here ki nga mekameka, ki nga here waewae; heoi motumotuhia ana e ia nga here, a aia ana ia e te rewera ki te koraha.
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.
30 Na ka ui a Ihu ki a ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? Ka mea ia, Ko Rihiona; he tokomaha hoki nga rewera i tomo ki roto ki a ia.
Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
And he begged Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Na i reira tetahi kahui poaka maha e kai ana i runga i te maunga: a ka inoi ratou ki a ia kia tukua ratou kia tomo ki aua poaka. A tukua ana ratou.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.
33 A, ko te putanga o aua rewera i roto i te tangata, ka tomo ki roto ki nga poaka: na ko te tino rerenga o te kahui ra te pari ki te moana, a paremo iho.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 A, no ka kite nga kaiwhangai i taua mea i meatia, ka whati, ka haere ka korero ki te pa, ki aua whenua hoki.
When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
35 Na ka haere ratou kia kite i taua mea i meatia; a, i to ratou taenga mai ki a Ihu, ka kite i te tangata i puta nei nga rewera i roto i a ia, kua oti te whakakakahu, kua tika ona whakaaro, e noho ana i nga waewae o Ihu: a ka mataku ratou.
So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
36 A, korerotia ana ki a ratou e te hunga i kite, te whakaoranga o te tangata i nga rewera.
Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
37 Na ka mea te huihui katoa o nga kainga patata o nga Kararini kia mawehe atu ia i a ratou; i mataku whakaharahara hoki ratou: a eke ana ia ki te kaipuke, hoki ana.
Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 Otira ka inoi ki a ia te tangata i puta ra nga rewera i roto i a ia, kia waiho ia hei hoa mona: heoi ka tono atu a Ihu i a ia, ka mea,
Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Hoki atu ki tou whare, korerotia nga mea nui kua meinga nei e te Atua ki a koe. na haere ana ia, korerotia ana ki te pa katoa nga mea nui i mea ai a Ihu ki a ia.
“Return to yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.
40 A, i a Ihu i hoki ai, ka koa te mano; i te tatari katoa hoki ratou ki a ia.
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been waiting for him.
41 Na ka haere mai tetahi tangata, ko Hairuha te ingoa, he rangatira no te whare karakia; a takoto ana ki nga waewae o Ihu, ka inoi ki a ia kia tomo ki tona whare:
And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,
42 Kotahi tana tamahine, he huatahi kei te tekau ma rua ona tau, na, e whakahemohemo ana. Na, i tona haerenga atu, ka popo nga mano ki a ia.
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on him.
43 Na tera tetahi wahine e mate ana i te pakaruhanga toto, tekau ma rua nga tau, a poto katoa tona oranga ki nga rata, kihai rawa i taea te whakaora e tetahi.
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44 Ka haere ia i muri i a ia, ka pa ki te taniko o tona kakahu: a mutu iho te rere o ona toto.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
45 Na ka mea a Ihu, Ko wai tenei kua pa nei ki ahau? A, no ka whakakahore katoa, ka mea a Pita ratou ko ona hoa, E kara, e pipiri ana nga mano ki a koe, e tutetute ana, ka mea koe, ko wai e pa ki ahau?
Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Otira i mea a Ihu, Ehara, kua pa tetahi ki ahau: e mohio ana ahau, kua puta atu he mana i ahau.
But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 A, no te kitenga o te wahine kihai ia i ngaro, haere wiri ana, takoto ana i tona aroaro, korerotia ana e ia ki a ia i te aroaro o te iwi katoa te take i pa ai ia ki a ia, me te hohoro o tona oranga.
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
48 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, E ko, na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie.
Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace.”
49 I a ia ano e korero ana, ka haere mai tetahi i te whare o te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea ki a ia, Kua mate tau tamahine; kaua e whakararuraru i te Kaiwhakaako.
While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”
50 Otiia, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka whakahoki ki a ia, ka mea, Kaua e mataku: ko te whakapono ia kia whakapono, a ka ora ia.
But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 A, i tona tomokanga ki te whare, kihai tetahi i tukua e ia ki tapoko, ko Pita anake, ko Hemi, ko Hoani, me te papa raua ko te whaea o te kotiro.
When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.
52 E tangi ana ratou katoa, e aue ana mona. Na ka mea ia, Kaua e tangi; kahore ia i mate, engari e moe ana.
Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”
53 A kataina iho ia e ratou, i mohio hoki ratou kua mate ia.
And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Otira ka mau ia ki tona ringa, ka karanga, ka mea, E ko, e ara.
But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”
55 Na hoki mai ana tona wairua, a whakatika tonu ake ia: na ka whakahautia e ia kia hoatu he kai mana.
Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
56 A, miharo tonu ona matua: na ka whakatupato ia i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia taua meatanga ki tetahi.
Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
