1 After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
2 And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.
3 And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,
5 It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:
7 And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.
8 For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.
11 And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.
12 Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.
14 And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.
15 And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.
16 And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people.
17 And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about.
18 And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.
19 Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
20 And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
21 At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.
22 And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
23 And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
24 And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
25 But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
26 But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
28 I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 (And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.
30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)
31 What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?
32 They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.
33 For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.
34 The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.
35 But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.
37 And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,
38 And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.
39 Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.
41 And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.
42 When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?
43 Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.
44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.
45 You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
46 You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
47 And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.
48 And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
49 And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
50 And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
1 A, no ka mutu enei kupu katoa ana, me te whakarongo ano te iwi, ka tomo ia ki Kaperenauma.
2 Na e mate ana te pononga a tetahi keneturio, meake marere, ko tana hoki i matenui ai.
3 A, no tona rongonga i a Ihu, ka tono mai ki a ia etahi kaumatua o nga Hurai, hei mea ki a ia kia haere ki te whakaora i tana pononga.
4 A, i to ratou taenga ki a Ihu, he kaha ta ratou inoi, ka mea, he pai te tangata e meatia ai tenei e koe:
5 E aroha ana hoki ia ki to tatou iwi, nana hoki i hanga te whare karakia mo matou.
6 Na haere tahi ana a Ihu me ratou. A, i a ia kahore nei i matara i te whare, ka tono te keneturio i etahi hoa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, kei maumau ngenge noa koe: ehara hoki ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tu anui:
7 Koia te tae ai toku aro ki te haere atu ki a koe: engari kia puaki mai tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.
8 He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku, na ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, a ka haere; ki tetahi atu hoki, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga ano hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.
9 A, i te rongongo o Ihu ki enei mea, ka miharo ki a ia, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te mano e aru ana i a ia, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, kahore ano ahau i kite i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui, ahakoa i roto i a Iharaira.
10 A, rokohanga atu e te hunga i tonoa, i to ratou hokinga atu ki te whare, kua ora te pononga ra.
11 Na i muri tata iho ka haere ia ki tetahi pa, ko Naina te ingoa: a i haere tahi ana akonga me ia, he rahi hoki te hui.
12 A, ka whakatata ia ki te kuwaha o te pa, na, he tupapaku tera e kauhoatia ana mai, he huatahi na tona whaea, a he poutaru tera: he tokomaha o te pa e haere tahi ana me ia.
13 A, i te kitenga o te Ariki i a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e tangi.
14 Na ka whakatata ia, ka pa ki te kauhoa: a tu tonu nga kaikauhoa. Na ko tana meatanga, E tama, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, E ara.
15 Na ka noho te tupapaku ki runga, ka anga ka korero. A hoatu ana ia e ia ki tona whaea.
16 Na ka tau te wehi ki a ratou katoa: ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kua puta ake i roto i a tatou he poropiti nui; A, kua titiro mai hoki te Atua ki tana iwi.
17 Na haere ana tenei korero mona puta noa i huria, i nga wahi patata katoa ano hoki.
18 A ka korerotia enei mea katoa ki a Hoani e ana akonga.
19 Na ka karangatia e Hoani etahi o ana akonga tokorua, ka tonoa ki te Ariki, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
20 A, no te taenga mai o aua tangata ki a ia, ka mea, Kua tonoa mai maua e Hoani Kaiiriiri ki a koe, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
21 I taua wa pu ano he tokomaha te hunga i whakaorangia e ia i nga turorotanga, i nga mate, i nga wairua kino; he tokomaha nga matapo i meinga kia kite.
22 A ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a raua, Haere korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e kite nei, e rongo nei korua; ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera kua ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, e ka uwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore;
23 Na ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
24 A, no te rironga atu o nga karere a Hoani, ka timata ia ki te korero ki te mano mo Hoani, I haere atu koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
25 Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na, kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu whakapaipai, i nga kai papai.
26 Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu i te poropiti.
27 Mona te mea kua tuhituhia nei, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou huarahi i mua i a koe.
28 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Kahore he poropiti nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri i roto i nga whanau a te wahine; heoi rahi ake i a ia te nohinohi rawa o te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
29 Na, i to ratou rongonga ai, whakatikaia ana ta te Atua e te hunga katoa i rongo, e nga pupirikana ano, i iriiria hoki ratou ki te iriiri a Hoani.
30 Ko nga Parihi ia ratou ko nga kaiwhakaako o te ture i whakakahore i ta te Atua whakaaro ki a ratou, kihai nei ratou i iriiria e ia.
31 Me whakarite e ahau nga tangata o tenei whakapaparanga ki te aha? he rite ratou ki te aha?
32 He rite ki nga tamariki e noho ana i te kainga hokohoko, e karanga ana ki a ratou ano, e mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani; aue noa matou ki a koutou, na, kahore koutou i tangi.
33 I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kihai i kai taro, kihai i inu waina; heoi ka mea koutou, he rewera tona.
34 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai, me te inu; a ka mea koutou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara!
35 Otira e whakatikaia ana te whakaaro nui e ana tamariki katoa.
36 Na ka mea tetahi o nga Parihi ki a ia kia kai tahi raua. A ka tomo ia ki te whare o te Parihi, ka noho.
37 Na tera tetahi wahine hara o te pa ka mohio, kei te whare o te Parihi ia e noho ana; na ka kawea mai e ia tetahi pouaka kohatu, he hinu i roto,
38 A tu tangi ana i muri i ona waewae, ka anga ka whakamakuku i ona waewae ki ona roimata, ka muru ki nga makawe o tona matenga, ka kihi i ona waewae, ka whakawahi ki te hinu kakara.
39 Na, i te kitenga o te Parihi nana ra ia i karanga, ka korero i roto i a ia, ka mea, Me he poropiti tenei, kua matau ia ki te wahine e pa nei ki a ia, tona peheatanga: he wahine hara hoki.
40 Na ka korero a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E Haimona, he kupu taku ki a koe. Ka mea ia, Korero, e te Kaiwhakaako.
41 Na, tokorua nga tangata i a raua te moni a tetahi kaituku moni: e rima rau nga pene i tetahi, e rima tekau i tetahi.
42 I te kore nga mea a raua hei whakautu, whakarerea noatia ana e ia ki a raua: tena, ko wai o raua e tino nui tona aroha ki a ia?
43 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, Ki toku whakaaro, ko te tangata nana te mea nui i whakarerea noatia atu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tika rawa tau.
44 Na ka tahuri ia ki te wahine, ka mea ki a Haimona, E kite ana koe i tenei wahine? I haere mai ahau ki roto ki tou whare, kahore i homai e koe he wai mo oku waewae; nana ia i whakamakuku oku waewae ki ona roimata, a murua iho ki nga makawe o tona matenga.
45 Kihai koe i kihi i ahau: tena ko ia, mai o toku taenga mai, kahore ano i tamutu te kihi o oku waewae.
46 Kihai ko i whakawahi i toku matenga ki te hinu; nana ia oku waewae i whakawahi ki te hinu.
47 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, Kua murua ona tini hara; he nui hoki tona aroha; ko te tangata ia he iti nga mea i murua, ka iti ano tona aroha.
48 A ka mea ia ki a ia, Kua murua ou hara.
49 Na ka anga ona hoa noho ka korero ki a ratou ano, Ko wai tenei, muru rawa hoki i nga hara?
50 Na ko tana meatanga ki te wahine, Na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie.
