Matiu 15
1 Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,
Then some Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
2 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.
"Why do your disciples keep transgressing the tradition of the elders by not washing their hands before eating?"
3 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?
"And why do you also keep transgressing the command of God by your tradition?" he asked.
4 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.
"For God said, Honor your father and mother, and, Let him who reviles father or mother be put to death;
5 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;
but you say that whoever tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is dedicated to God,’
6 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.
is in no way bound to honor his father. Thus do you make void the word of God by your tradition!
7 E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying.
8 Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.
This is a people that honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
9 Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.
In vain do they worship me, While they teach doctrines that are the commands of men."
10 A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:
Then Jesus called the people to him and said.
11 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.
"Listen, and pay attention. It is not what goes into a man’s mouth that defiles him, but what comes out of it, that defiles the man."
12 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?
Then his disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that the Pharisees were scandalized when they heard that saying?" He replied.
13 Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.
"Any plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14 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.
"Let them alone. They are blind men leading the blind; and if one blind man leads another, both of them will fall into a ditch."
15 Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.
Then Peter said to Jesus, "Explain the parable to us."
16 Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?
He answered. "Are even you still without understanding?
17 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?
"Do you not know how all that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterward evacuated;
18 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.
while what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart - and that is what defiles a man.
19 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:
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, perjury, slander.
20 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.
These are the things that defile a man; to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."
21 A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.
Jesus then left that place, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 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.
Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit."
23 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.
But he answered her not a word. Then the disciples came up and kept beseeching him. "Send her away," they said, "because she wails after us."
24 Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.
In reply he said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.
But the woman came and knelt to him and said, "Lord, do help me."
26 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.
He answered, "It is not seemly to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs."
27 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.
"True, Lord," she said, "but even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table."
28 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.
Then Jesus answered her. "O woman, great is your faith. It shall be for you even as you desire." And from that hour her daughter was healed.
29 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.
On leaving that place Jesus went along the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and after climbing a hill, took his seat there.
30 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:
Great crowds came to him, bringing the crippled, the blind, the maimed, the dumb, and many others. They laid them at his feet and he healed them;
31 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.
so that the crowd wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 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.
But Jesus called his disciples to him and said. "My heart yearns over the crowd, for they have been with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat. I am not willing to send them away hungry, for fear they faint on the road."
33 Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?
"In a lonely place like this," asked the disciple. "where can we get bread enough to satisfy such a crowd?"
34 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.
"How many loaves have you?" answered Jesus. They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish.
35 Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;
So when he had summoned the crowd, and seated them upon the ground,
36 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.
he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
37 A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.
And all ate and were satisfied, and of the fragments that remained they gathered seven large basketfuls.
38 A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.
And those who ate numbered four thousand, besides the women and children.
39 A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.
