1 Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;
2 And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.
4 And when his talk was ended, he said to Simon, Go out into deep water, and let down your nets for fish.
5 And Simon, answering, said, Master, we were working all night and we took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets.
6 And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;
7 And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.
8 But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.
9 For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken;
10 And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.
11 And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after him.
12 And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
13 And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him.
14 And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.
15 But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.
16 But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer.
17 And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.
18 And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.
19 And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.
20 And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.
21 And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?
22 But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Which is the simpler: to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
24 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.
25 And straight away he got up before them, and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to God.
26 And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.
27 And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.
28 And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.
29 And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.
30 And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?
31 And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
32 I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.
33 And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.
34 And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?
35 But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.
36 And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.
37 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.
38 But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.
39 And no man, having had old wine, has any desire for new, for he says, The old is better.
1 A, i te mano e aki ana ki a ia ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua, na e tu ana ia i te taha o te roto o Kenehareta,
2 Na ka kite ia i etahi kaipuke e rua e tu ana i te taha o te roto: ko nga kaihao ia kua riro i runga, e horoi ana i a ratou kupenga.
3 Na ka eke ia ki tetahi o nga kaipuke, ki te Haimona, ka mea ki a ia kia neke atu ki waho tata. Na noho ana ia, whakaakona ana e ia te mano i runga i te kaipuke.
4 A ka mutu tana korero, ka mea ia ki a Haimona, Neke atu ki te wahi hohonu, ka tuku ai i a koutou kupenga ki te hao.
5 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, E kara, mahi noa matou i te po roa nei, te mau tetahi: heoi nau na te kupu me tuku e ahau te kupenga.
6 A, no ta ratou meatanga i tenei, he mano tini nga ika i mau i a ratou: ka whakapakaru ta ratou kupenga.
7 Na ka tawhiri ratou ki o ratou hoa i tera o nga kaipuke kia hoe mai hei hoa mo ratou. A, i to ratou taenga mai, whakakiia ana nga kaipuke e rua, no ka whakatotohu.
8 Otiia, no te kitenga o Haimona Pita, ka hinga iho ki nga turi o Ihu, ka mea, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te Ariki, he tangata hara hoki ahau.
9 Mau tonu hoki tona miharo me to ona hoa katoa, ki te haonga o nga ika i haoa nei e ratou:
10 I pera ano hoki a Hemi raua ko Hoani, he tama raua na Heperi, he hoa hoki no Haimona. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a Haimona, Kaua e mataku; i enei wa e takoto ake nei ka hao tangata koe.
11 A ka whakauria nga kaipuke ki uta, mahue ake nga mea katoa i a ratou, a aru ana i a ia.
12 Na, i a ia i tetahi o nga pa, na ko etahi tangata kapi tonu i te repera; a, i tona kitenga i a Ihu, ka takoto tapapa, ka inoi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.
13 Na ka totoro tona ringa, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau: kia ma koe. A mutu tonu ake tona repera.
14 A ka whakatupato ia i a ia kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata; Engari haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, kawea atu hoki mo tou whakamakanga nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.
15 Heoi tino paku atu ana tona rongo: he tokomaha noa atu hoki i huihui ki te whakarongo, kia whakaorangia ai e ia o ratou ngoikoretanga.
16 Otira haere ana ia, ko ia anake ki te koraha ki te inoi.
17 A i tetahi o aua ra, e whakaako ana ia, me te noho ano nga Parihi me nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, i haere mai nei i nga kainga katoa o Kariri, o Huria, o Hiruharama: i reira ano te kaha o te Ariki hei whakaora i a ratou.
18 Na ka kawea mai e etahi tangata i runga i te moenga tetahi tangata, he pararutiki: mea noa ratou kia kawea ia ki roto, kia whakatakotoria ki tona aroaro.
19 A, i te korenga e kitea e ratou he huarahi hei kawenga mai ia ia ki roto, i te mano o te tangata, ka kakea te whare, a tukua iho ana ia ra nga taera, me te moenga ano, ki waenganui, ki te aroaro o Ihu.
20 A, i tona kitenga i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki a ia, E hoa, ka oti ou hara te muru.
21 Na ka anga ka whakaaroaro nga karaipi me nga Parihi, ka mea, Ko wai tenei nana nga kupu kohukohu? Ko wai hei muru hara? ko te Atua anake.
22 Otira i mohio a Ihu ki a ratou whakaaroaronga, ka oho, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e whakaaroaro na i roto i o koutou ngakau?
23 Ko tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika haere?
24 Otiia kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.
25 Na whakatika tonu ake ia i to ratou aroaro, tangohia ake ana te mea i takoto ai ia, haere ana ki tona whare, a me te whakakororia i te Atua.
26 Na miharo ana ratou katoa, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ki tonu hoki ratou i te mataku, ka mea, Puta ke nga mea i kite nei tatou inaianei.
27 A, i muri i enei mea, ka haere ia, ka kite i tetahi pupirikana, ko Riwai te ingoa, e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha: ka mea ki a ia, Arumia mai ahau.
28 Na whakarerea ake e ia nga mea katoa, whakatika ana, aru ana i a ia.
29 Na ka taka e Riwai he hakari nui mana i tona whare: he tokomaha hoki nga pupirikana me nga tangata ke i noho tahi ratou.
30 Na ka amuamu nga Parihi me o ratou karaipi ki ana akonga, ka mea He aha koutou ka kai tahi ai, ka inu tahi ai me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara?
31 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana.
32 Kihai ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia ripeneta.
33 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko nga akonga a Hoani hono tonu te nohopuku, te inoi, me nga akonga ano a nga Parihi; ko au ia e kai ana, e inu ana.
34 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, E taea ranei e koutou te mea kia nohopuku nga tama o te whare marena, i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou?
35 Na, tera e tae mai nga ra; a, ina tangohia te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.
36 I korerotia ano e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; E kore e haea e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei pakaru te mea hou, a e kore te papaki i tangohia i te mea hou e hangai ki te mea tawhito.
37 E kore hoki te tangata e riringi i te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito; kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, na ka maringi, a kore ake nga ipu.
38 Engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.
39 Ka inu hoki te tangata i te waina tawhito, e kore ia e hiahia ki te mea hou: e mea hoki ia, Erangi te mea tawhito.
