Matthew 14

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

I taua wa ka rongo a Herora te tetaraki ki te rongo o Ihu,

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

A ka mea ki ana pononga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tenei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; a na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

I hopukia hoki a Hoani e Herora, a hereherea ana e ia, a maka ana ki te whare herehere, he mea hoki na Heroriaha, na te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

I mea hoki a Hoani ki a ia, E kore e tika kia riro ia i a koe.

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

A, i a ia e mea ana ki te whakamate i a ia, ka wehi i te mano; ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

Otira i te taenga ki te ra whanau o Herora, ka kanikani te tamahine a Heroriaha i waenganui i a ratou, a ka ahuareka a Herora.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, oati rawa, kia hoatu ki a ia tana mea e tono ai.

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

Na, he mea whakakiki ia na tona whaea, ka mea, Homai ki konei ki ahau i runga i te rihi te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

Heoi ka pouri te kingi: otiia i whakaaro ia ki te oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, a ka mea kia hoatu.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Na ka tono tangata ia, a poutoa ana te matenga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere.

And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

A i mauria tona matenga i runga i te rihi, i hoatu ki te kotiro: kawea atu ana e ia ki tona whaea.

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Na ka haere ana akonga, ka tango i te tinana, a tanumia ana e ratou, a haere ana, korero ana ki a Ihu.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

Na, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka haere atu ia i reira ra te kaipuke ki te koraha, ki te wahi motu ke: a, no ka rongo te mano, ka aru i a ia ra uta i roto i nga pa.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

A ka puta atu a Ihu, ka kite i te huihuinga nui, ka aroha ia ki a ratou, a whakaorangia ana e ia o ratou turoro.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra; tonoa atu te mano, kia haere ai ratou ki nga kainga ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore he mea e haere ai ratou; ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou.

And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Heoi ano a matou i konei, e rima nga taro, e rua hoki nga ika.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

Na ka mea ia, Mauria mai ki konei ki ahau.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki runga i te tarutaru, ka mau i nga taro e rima, i nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia nga taro ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona: a kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia ake e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Ko te hunga i kai ra me te mea e rima mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine me nga tamariki.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

Na akiaki tonu a Ihu i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, i a ia e tuku ana i nga mano kia haere.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

A, ka oti te mano te tuku, ka kake ia ki runga ki te maunga ki te wahi motu ke ki te inoi: na kua ahiahi, a ko ia anake i reira.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

Na, tera te kaipuke te akina ra e te ngaru i waenga moana: i he hoki te hau.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

A i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere a Ihu ki a ratou, i haere maori i runga i te moana.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

A, i te kitenga o nga akonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, He wairua; ka aue i te wehi.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Na kua hohoro te korero a Ihu ki a ratou, te mea, Kia manawanui, ko ahau tenei; aua e wehi.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

Na ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tena, kiia mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Na ka mea ia, Haere mai. A ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Ihu.

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Otira ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; a ka timata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Hohoro tonu te totoro o te ringa o Ihu, ka hopu i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te tangata whakapono iti, he aha koe i ngakau rua ai?

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Ano ka eke raua ki te kaipuke, mutu pu te hau.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Na ka haere mai te hunga i runga i te kaipuke, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, He pono ko te Tama koe a te Atua.

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

A, i to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

A, ka mohio nga tangata o taua wahi ki a ia, ka tono tangata puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa o reira, hei kawe mai i nga turoro katoa ki a ia;

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu; a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa.
