Matiu 8
1 A, no ka heke iho ia i te maunga, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.
Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
2 Na ka haere tetahi repera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.
A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
3 A ka totoro te ringa o Ihu, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau; kia ma koe. A ma tonu iho tona repera.
Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
4 Katahi ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia mahara, kei korerotia ki te tangata; erangi haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, mauria atu hoki te whakahere i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.
“Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
5 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki Kaperenauma, ka haere ki a ia tetahi keneturio, ka inoi ki a ia,
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
6 Ka mea, E te Ariki, ko taku pononga kei te whare e takoto ana, he pararutiki, e ngaua kinotia ana.
“Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
7 A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ka haere ahau ki te whakaora i a ia.
“I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
8 Na ko te whakahokinga a te keneturio, ko te meatanga, E te Ariki, ehara ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tuanui; engari kia puaki kau tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.
The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku: ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, na ka haere ia; ki tetahi, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.
For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 A, no te rongonga o Ihu, ka miharo, ka mea ki te hunga e aru ana, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i kite noa i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui i roto i a Iharaira.
When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere in Israel.
11 Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koutou, He tokomaha e haere mai i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, a e noho tahi i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi:
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 Ko nga tamariki ia o te rangatiratanga ka maka ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
But the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
13 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te keneturio, Haere, kia rite ki tou whakapono te meatanga ki a koe. A ora ake ana taua pononga i taua wa pu ano.
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
14 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki te whare o Pita, ka kite ia i tona hungawai wahine e takoto mate ana, he kirika.
When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
15 Na ka pa ia ki tona ringaringa, a mutu ake tona kirika: a ara ake ana ia ki te taka mea ma ratou.
He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
16 Na i te ahiahi he tokomaha te hunga e nohoia ana e nga rewera i mauria mai ki a ia: na ka peia e tana kupu nga wairua ki waho, a whakaorangia ake e ia te hunga mate katoa:
When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
17 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, nana i tango o tatou ngoikore, i waha o tatou mate.
This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
18 Na, i te kitenga o Ihu he rahi te hui e mui ana ki a ia, ka whakahau ia kia whakawhiti ki tawahi.
When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
19 A ka haere tetahi karaipi, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, ka aru ahau i a koe ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
20 A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He rua o nga pokiha, he kowhanga o nga manu o te rangi; tena ko te Tama a te tangata, kahore ona wahi e takoto ai tona matenga.
“Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
21 A i mea tetahi atu o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Ariki tukua ahau kia matua haere ki te tanu i toku papa.
Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Arumia ahau: a waiho ma nga tupapaku e tanu o ratou tupapaku.
“Follow me. Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
23 A, no ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka aru ana akonga i a ia.
Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
24 Na ka tutu te puehu o te moana, a ngaro iho te kaipuke i te ngaru; i te moe hoki ia.
A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
25 A ka haere ana akonga, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, whakaorangia tatou, ka ngaro tatou.
The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
26 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e wehi, e te hunga whakapono iti? Me i reira ka ara ia, a riria iho te hau me te moana; a takoto ana he marino nui.
“Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
27 A miharo noa nga tangata, ka mea, He tangata aha tenei, ina, rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia!
The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
28 A, no ka whiti ia ki tarawahi, ki te whenua o nga Kerekehini, ka tutaki ki a ia etahi tangata tokorua e nohoia ana e te rewera, e puta ana mai i roto i nga urupa, he hunga tutu rawa, te taea taua ara te haere e te tangata.
When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel that way.
29 Na ka karanga ake raua, ka mea, He aha maua nau, e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua? kua tae mai oti koe ki te whakamamae i a maua i te mea kahore ano i rite te taima?
They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
30 Na tera tetahi kahui poaka i tawhiti atu i a ratou e kai ana, he tini.
In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 A ka inoi nga rewera ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te pei koe i a matou, tukua matou kia haere ki roto ki te kahui poaka.
The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere. Na, ko to ratou putanga ki waho, haere ana ki roto ki te kahui poaka; na ko te tino rerenga o te kahui poaka katoa ra te pari ki te moana, a mate iho ki roto ki te wai.
“Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
33 Na ka whati nga kaiwhangai, a haere ana ki te pa, korero ana i nga mea katoa, me te meatanga ki te hunga i nohoia e nga rewera.
The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 Na puta katoa ana te pa ki waho, ki te whakatau i a Ihu; a ka kite i a ia, ka tohe kia haere atu ia i o ratou wahi.
The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
