Matthew 12

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

I taua wa i haere a Ihu i te hapati ra waenga witi; a e hiakai ana ana akonga, na ka anga ratou ka kato i nga witi, ka kai.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

A, no te kitenga o nga Parihi, ka mea ki a ia, Na, au akonga e mea na i te mea e kore e tika kia meinga i te hapati.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore koutou i kite i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e hiakai ana, ratou ko ona hoa:

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, i tana kainga i nga taro aroaro, i nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga e ia, e ona hoa ranei, engari ma nga tohunga anake?

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Kahore ano koutou i kite i roto i te ture, e whakanoatia ana te hapati e nga tohunga i roto i te temepara i nga hapati, a kahore he he?

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Kei konei tetahi, he rahi ke i te temepara.

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Otiia me i matau koutou ki tenei, Ko taku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu, kahore koutou i whakahe i te hunga harakore.

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Ko te Tama nei hoki a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

Na ka haere atu ia i reira, ka tomo ki to ratou whare karakia:

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Na he tangata tera kua memenge te ringa. A ka ui ratou ki a ia, He tika ranei te whakaora i te hapati? he mea hoki kia whakapangia ai e ratou he he ki a ia.

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko tehea tangata o koutou, ki te mea kotahi ana hipi, a ka taka ki roto ki te poka i te hapati, e kore ranei ia e mau ki taua hipi, e hapai ake?

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

Na tera noa atu to te tangata pai i to te hipi. Ina, he tika ano te mahi pai i nga hapati.

Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Me i reira ka mea ia ki taua tangata, Totoro mai tou ringa. A, no te toronga, kua ora ano, kua pera me tetahi.

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Na ka haere nga Parihi ki waho, ka runanga mona me pehea e ngaro ai ia i a ratou.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Otira i matau a Ihu, a haere atu ana i reira: a he rahi te hui i aru i a ia, a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa e ia;

And charged them that they should not make him known:

A i whakatupato ano ia i a ratou kei whakakitea ia.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

Na ka rite ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

Na, taku pononga, taku i whiriwhiri ai: taku i aroha ai, ta toku Wairua i ahuareka ai: ka waiho e ahau toku Wairua ki runga ki a ia, a mana e whakapuaki te whakawa ki nga tauiwi.

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

E kore ia e totohe, e kore ia e hamama; e kore ano e rangona tona reo i nga ara;

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

E kore e whatiia porokeretia e ia te kakaho i mangungu, e kore e tineia te muka e whakapaoa ana; kia puta ra ano i a ia te whakawa ki te wikitoria.

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Ka tumanako hoki nga tauiwi ki tona ingoa.

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Me i reira ka kawea mai ki a ia he tangata e nohoia ana e te rewera, he matapo, he wahangu; a whakaorangia ana e ia, no ka korero, ka kite taua matapo, taua wahangu.

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

A ka ohomauri te mano katoa, ka mea, Ehara ianei tenei i te Tama a Rawiri?

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

A, no te rongonga o nga Parihi, ka mea, Ehara i a ia nana i pei nga rewera nei, engari na Perehepura, na te rangatira o nga rewera.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

A i matau a Ihu ki o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te tahuri iho tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, ka kore; ki te tahuri iho hoki ki a ia ano tetahi pa, tetahi whare ranei, e kore e tu:

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Na, ki te pei a Hatana i a Hatana ano, e tahuri iho ana ki a ia ano; me pehea e tu ai tona rangatiratanga?

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

A, ki te mea na Perehepura taku peinga rewera, na wai te peinga a a koutou tamariki? na ko ratou hei kaiwhakawa mo koutou.

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Tena, ki te mea na te Wairua o te Atua taku peinga rewera, ina, kua tae noa mai te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki a koutou.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Me pehea oti ka tomo ai te tangata ki te whare o te tangata kaha, ka pahua ai i ona taonga, ki te kore ia e matua here i taua tangata kaha? ko reira pahua ai i tona whare.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Ko te tangata ehara i te hoa noku, he hoariri ia ki ahau; ko te tangata kahore e kohikohi tahi maua, e titaritari ana.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga hara katoa me nga kohukohu, a te tangata e murua: tena ko te kohukohu ki te Wairau Tapu e kore e murua.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Ki te korero whakahe hoki tetahi mo te Tama a te tangata, e murua tana: tena ki te korero whakahe tetahi mo te Wairua Tapu, e kore e murua tana i tenei ao, e kore ano i tera atu.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Meinga ranei te rakau kia pai, a pai iho ona hua; meinga ranei te rakau kia kino, a kino iho ona hua; ma nga hua hoki ka mohiotia ai te rakau.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

E te uri nakahi, me pehea ka korero pai ai koutou, te hunga kino? he purenatanga hoki no te ngakau nga kupu a te mangai.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Ko te tangata pai he pai ana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga pai o te ngakau: ko te tangata kino hoki he kino ana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga kino.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Me korero e nga tangata, i te ra whakawa, te tikanga o nga kupu pokanoa katoa e puaki i a ratou.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Ma au kupu hoki koe ka whakatikaia ai, ma au kupu ano ka tau ai te he ki a koe.

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Me i reira ka ki etahi o nga karaipi, o nga Parihi, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e mea ana matou kia kite i tetahi tohu i a koe.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E rapu ana te whakatupuranga kino, puremu, i tetahi tohu; a e kore tetahi tohu e hoatu, ko te tohu anake o Hona poropiti:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

E toru hoki nga ra o Hona, e toru nga po i roto i te kopu o te tohora; waihoki ka toru nga ra, ka toru nga po o te Tama a te tangata ki te manawa o te whenua.

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

E ara nga tangata o Ninewe me tenei whakatupuranga i te whakawakanga, e whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i ripeneta hoki ratou i te kauwhau a Hona; a tenei tetahi he nui ki i a Hona.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

E ara te kuini o te tonga me tenei whakatupuranga i te whakawakanga, e whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i haere mai hoki ia i nga pito o te whenua ki te whakarongo ki nga whakaaro nui o Horomona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke i a Horomona.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Ka puta mai te wairua poke i roto i te tangata, ka haereere ra nga wahi maroke rapu okiokinga ai, a te kitea.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Ka mea ia, Ka hoki ahau ki toku whare i puta mai ia ahau; a, no te taenga atu, rokohanga atu e takoto kau ana, oti rawa te tahi, te whakapai.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Na ka haere ia, ka tango i etahi atu wairua tokowhitu hei hoa mona, he kino noa atu i a ia, ka tomo ratou, ka noho ki reira; a kino atu i te timatanga te whakamutunga ki taua tangata. Tera ano e pera tenei whakatupuranga kino.

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

I a ia ano e korero ana ki te mano, na, ko tona whaea ratou ko ona teina e tu ana i waho, e whai ana kia korero ki a ia.

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, Na, tou whaea me ou teina te tu mai nei i waho, e whai ana kia korero ki a koe.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki te tangata i korero ki a ia, Ko wai toku whaea? ko wai hoki oku teina?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Na ka totoro tona ringa ki ana akonga, ka mea, Na, toku whaea, oku teina!

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Ki te meatia hoki e tetahi ta toku Matua i te rangi e pai ai, hei teina ia ki ahau, hei tuahine, hei whaea.
