Matiu 15
1 Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,
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 yoʋr disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
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?
He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
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 commanded, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
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, ‘If anyone says to his father or mother, “Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is now a gift devoted to God,” then he certainly need not honor his father or his mother.’
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.
You have nullified the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,
Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly about you when he said,
8 Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.
‘This people draws near to me with their mouth and 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.
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments 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 crowd over and said to them, “Listen and understand:
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.
It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person; it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person.”
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 and said to him, “Do yoʋ know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard what yoʋ said?”
13 Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.
Jesus answered, “Every 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.
Leave them be; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.
Then Peter said to him in response, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?
Jesus said, “Are you also 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 yet understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled into the latrine?
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.
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile a person.
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 from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false testimony, and 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 what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
21 A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.
Then Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district 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.
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came and cried out to him, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
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 did not respond to her at all. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she is crying out 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 response Jesus said, “I was sent only 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 she came and bowed down before him, saying, “Lord, 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 replied, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the 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.
She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
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 yoʋr faith; it will be done for yoʋ as yoʋ wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
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.
Departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on the mountain and sat down.
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:
Large crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others. They put them at the feet of Jesus, 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 the crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame 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.
Then Jesus called his disciples over and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have stayed with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away without having eaten, lest they faint on the way.”
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?
His disciples said to him, “Where can we get so many loaves in such a desolate place to fill such a large 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.
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;
So he commanded the crowds to sit down on 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.
and taking the seven loaves and the fish, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them 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.
They all ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
38 A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.
Besides women and children, there were four thousand men who had eaten.
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.
After sending the crowds away, Jesus got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala.
