1 And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

2 And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

3 And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

4 And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins.

6 But there were certain of the scribes seated there, and reasoning in their hearts,

7 Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?

8 And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

9 Which is the simpler, to say to a man who is ill, You have forgiveness for your sins, or, Get up, take up your bed, and go?

10 But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

11 I say to you, Get up, take up your bed, and go to your house.

12 And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

13 And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.

14 And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

15 And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

17 And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

18 And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

19 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

20 But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

21 No man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat: or the new, by pulling away from the old, makes a worse hole.

22 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins: or the skins will be burst by the wine, and the wine and the skins will be wasted: but new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.

23 And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

24 And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

25 And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

26 How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

28 So that the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

1 A, i a ia i tomo ai ano ki Kaperenauma i etahi ra mai, ka rangona kei te whare ia.

2 Na ka hui mai te tini o te tangata, kahore rawa he wahi e o ai ratou, hore rawa i te taha o te kuwaha; a ka korerotia e ia te kupu ki a ratou.

3 Ka haere mai hoki etahi, ka kawe mai i tetahi pararutiki ki a ia, tokowha ki te kauhoa.

4 A, te taea te whakatata ki a ia i te mano hoki, ka pokaia te tuanui o te wahi i noho ai ia: a, ka oti te wawahi, ka tukua iho te moenga i takoto ai te pararutiki.

5 A, no te kitenga o Ihu i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, E tama, ka oti ou hara te muru.

6 Na i reira etahi o nga karaipi e noho ana, e whakaaroaro ana i roto i o ratou ngakau,

7 He aha enei kupu kohukohu a tenei tangata? ko wai hei muru hara, kotahi tonu ko te Atua anake?

8 Na mohio tonu a Ihu i roto i tona wairua, e penei ana o ratou whakaaro i roto i a ratou, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakaaroaro ai i enei mea i roto i o koutou ngakau?

9 Ko tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea ki te pararutiki, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere?

10 Otira, 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,

11 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.

12 Na whakatika tonu ake ia, a tangohia ake ana tona moenga, haere atu ana i te aroaro o ratou katoa: no ka miharo ratou katoa ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kahore ano tatou i kite noa i te penei.

13 A haere atu ana ia i te taha o te moana; na ka tae te mano katoa ki a ia, a ka whakaakona ratou e ia.

14 A, i ia e haere ana, ka kite ia i a Riwai tama a Arapiu e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Na whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia,

15 A, i a ia e noho ana i tona whare, he tokomaha nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara e noho tahi ana ki a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga: he tokomaha hoki ratou, a i aru i a ia.

16 A, no te kitenga o nga karaipi a nga Parihi i a ia e kai tahi ana me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara, ka mea ki ana akonga, Kei te kai tahi ia, kei te inu tahi me nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara.

17 A, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana: kihai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara.

18 Na kei te nohopuku nga akonga a Hoani ratou ko a nga Parihi: a ka haere mai ratou, ka mea ki a ia, He aha nga akonga a Hoani me a nga Parihi ka nohopuku ai, tena ko au akonga kahore e nohopuku?

19 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E ahei ranei nga tama o te whare marena te nohopuku i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou? e kore ratou e ahei te nohopuku i nga wa kei a ratou nei te tane marena hou.

20 Na tera e tae mai nga ra e tangohia ai te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.

21 E kore e tuia e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou, hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei riro tetahi wahi o te kahu tawhito i tona whakakapi hou, a ka nui rawa te pakaru.

22 E kore hoki e ringihia e te tangata te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito: kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, a ka maringi te waina, kore ake nga ipu: engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.

23 A, i a ia e haere ana i waenga witi i te hapati, ka anga ana akonga ka ka kato haere i nga puku witi.

24 Na ka mea nga Parihi ki a ia, Na, he aha ratou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika i te hapati?

25 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ano koutou i kite noa i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e ngaua ana e te hiakai, ratou ko ona hoa?

26 I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua i nga ra o Apiata tohunga nui, a kainga ana e ia nga taro aroaro, nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga, ma nga tohunga anake, a hoatu ana e ia ki ona hoa?

27 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Hei mea mo te tangata te hapati, ehara i te mea ko te tangata mo te hapati,

28 Waihoki ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.
