Matthew 15

Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

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 thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

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?

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

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, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

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 ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

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.

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

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.

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

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 came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.

But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

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 be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

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 not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

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 those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

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 proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

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 which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.

Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

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 woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

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. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

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.

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

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 and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

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.

And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

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:

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

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.

Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

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 unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?

And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.

And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

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 he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

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 they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.

And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.

And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
