1 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders; 4 and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands? 6 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,

This people honoreth me with their lips,

But their heart is far from me.

7 But in vain do they worship me,

Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death: 11 but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God; 12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother; 13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. 14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. 16 17 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean. 20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. 32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it. 37 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

1 Na ka huihui ki a ia nga Parihi, me etahi o nga karaipi i haere mai i Hiruharama.

2 A, no to ratou kitenga i etahi o ana akonga e kai taro ana me te noa ano nga ringa, ara kihai i horoia, ka whakahe ratou.

3 e kore hoki nga Parihi me nga Hurai katoa e kai, ki te kahore i ata horoia nga ringa, e pupuri ana hoki i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua.

4 E kore ano ratou e kai ina hoki mai i te kainga hokohoko, ki te mea kahore i horoi. He maha hoki era atu mea tuku iho kia puritia e ratou, nga horoinga o anga kapu, o nga pata, o nga mea parahi, o nga nohoanga.

5 Katahi ka ui nga Parihi me nga karaipi ki a ia, He aha au akonga te haere ai i runga i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua, a kahore e horoi i nga ringa ina kai taro?

6 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, mo te hunga tinihanga, te mea hoki i tuhituhia, Ko te iwi nei, ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore i ahau, ko o ratou ngakau ia matara noa atu i ahau.

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

8 Kei te whakarere hoki koutou i ta te Atua kupu ako, ka mau ki te waihotanga iho a te tangata.

9 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena ra ta koutou hanga ki te whakakahore i te whakahau a te Atua, kia mau ai koutou ki ta koutou whakarerenga iho.

10 I mea hoki a Mohi, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; me tenei, Ki te korero kino tetahi mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei, kia mate ia, mate rawa:

11 Ko koutou ia hei mea, ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou he Koropana, ara, he mea i hoatu ki te Atua;

12 Kahore koutou aianei i te tuku i a ia ki te mea i tetahi aha ma tona papa, ma tona whaea ranei;

13 Ka waiho e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho, i whakarerea iho nei e koutou, hei whakakahore mo ta te Atua kupu: he maha hoki nga mea pena e meinga ana e koutou.

14 Na karangatia ana ano e ia te mano ki a ia, a mea ana ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai koutou katoa, kia matau hoki:

15 Kahore he mea o waho o te tangata ka tapoko nei ki roto ki a ia hei whakanoa i a ia: engari nga mea e puta ana mai i roto i a ia, ma ena e noa ai te tangata.

16 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

17 A, no ka mawehe ke ia i te mano ki te whare, ka ui ana akonga ki a ia ki te tikanga o tena kupu whakarite.

18 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ha, he kuware ano koutou? Kahore koutou i matau, ko nga mea katoa o waho e tapoko nei ki te tangata, e kore ia e noa i era;

19 No te mea e kore e tapoko ki tona ngakau, engari ki te kopu a puta ana ki te poka? He korero tenei nana kia kiia ai he ma nga kai katoa.

20 I mea ano ia, Ko te mea e puta ake ana i te tangata, ma tera e noa ai te tangata.

21 No roto hoki, no te ngakau o nga tangata te putanga o nga whakaaro kino, o nga moepuku,

22 O nga tahae, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga hiahia apo, o nga kino, o te tinihanga, o te hiahia taikaha, o te kanohi kino, o te kohukohu, o te whakapehapeha, o te wairangi:

23 No roto te putanga ake o enei kino katoa, a ma reira e noa ai te tangata.

24 Na ka whakatika atu ia i reira, ka haere ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona; a tomo ana ki tetahi whare, kihai hoki ia i pai kia rongo tetahi tangata: otiia kihai ia i ngaro.

25 I reira hoki ka rangona ia e tetahi wahine, he wairua poke to tana kotiro, a haere ana mai, takoto ana ki ona waewae:

26 He wahine Kariki hoki ia, ko Hairopinihia tona iwi; ka inoi ki a ia kia peia e ia te rewera i roto i tana kotiro.

27 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tukua kia matua makona nga tamariki: e kore hoki e pai kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

28 Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e kai ana ano nga kuri i raro i te tepu i nga kongakonga a nga tamariki.

29 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Koia kei tena kupu, haere; kua puta te rewera i roto i tau kotiro.

30 A ka haere atu ia ki tona whare, na rokohanga atu e takoto ana tana kotiro i runga i te moenga, kua puta te rewera.

31 A i hoki ano ia i nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona, haere ana ki te moana o Kariri, ra waenga o nga wahi o Rekaporihi.

32 Na ka mauria mai ki a ia he turi e whango ana; ka tohe ki a ia kia whakapakia iho tona ringa ki a ia.

33 Na ka tangohia ia e ia i roto i te mano ki tahaki, a kuhua ana ona maihao ki ona taringa, na ka tuwha, ka whakapa ki tona arero;

34 Ka titiro ki te rangi, ka whakapumanawa, ka mea ki a ia, Epata, ara, Kia puare.

35 Na puare tonu iho ona taringa, korokoro noa ana te here o tona arero, na kua tika ana korero.

36 Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata: otira ahakoa te nui o tana whakatupato i a ratou, nui noa atu ta ratou korero haere.

37 A tino miharo rawa ratou, ka mea, pai tonu tana meatanga i nga mea katoa: e mea ana ia i nga turi kia rongo, i nga wahangu kia korero.
