1 A, i a ia e inoi ana i tetahi wahi, a ka mutu, ka ki atu tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Ariki, whakaakona matou ki te inoi, me Hoani hoki i whakaako ra i ana akonga.

2 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ka inoi koutou, mea atu, E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa. Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.

3 Homai ta matou taro ki a matou, to tenei ra, to tenei ra.

4 Murua o matou hara; e murua ana hoki e matou o nga tangata katoa e hara ana ki a matou. Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia.

5 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko wai o koutou ki te mea he hoa tona, a ka tae atu ki a ia i waenganui po, ka mea ki a ia, E hoa, homai ki ahau etahi taro, kia toru;

6 Kua tae mai hoki toku hoa ki ahau i te ara, kahore aku mea e whakatakoto ai ahau mana?

7 A ka whakahoki tera i roto, ka mea, Hoha ki, kati ra: kua tutakina noatia ake te tatau, kei te moenga matou ko aku tamariki; e kore e ahei kia whakatika atu ahau ki te hoatu ki a koe.

8 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ahakoa kahore ia i whakatika ki te hoatu ki a ia, no te mea he hoa nona, ma tana tohe ano ka ara ake ai ia, ka hoatu ai ki a ia i nga mea i tonoa e ia.

9 Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koutou, Inoi, a ka hoatu ki a koutou; e rapu, a ka kite koutou; patukia, a ka uakina ki a koutou.

10 Ka whiwhi hoki nga tangata katoa ina inoi; ka kite ina rapu; ka uakina ki te tangata e patuki ana.

11 Ko tehea matua o koutou ki te inoia e tana tama tetahi taro, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he kamaka? ki te inoia he ika, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he nakahi hei ika?

12 Ki te inoia he hua manu, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he kopiona?

13 Ki te mea ko koutou, hunga kino nei, e matau ana ki te hoatu mea papai ki a koutou tamariki: tera noa ake te homaitanga o te Wairua Tapu e to koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e inoi ana ki a ia.

14 Na e pei rewera ana ia, he mea wahangu ano hoki. A, no te putanga o te rewera ki waho, ka korero te wahangu; a miharo ana te mano.

15 Na ka mea etahi o ratou, Na te rangatira o nga rewera, na Perehepura, tana peinga rewera.

16 Na ka whakamatautau etahi, ka mea ki tetahi tohu i a ia i te rangi.

17 Otiia i matau ia ki o ratou whakaaro, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te tahuri iho tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, ka kore; ki te tahuri hoki tetahi whare ki tetahi whare, ka hinga.

18 A ki te tahuri iho a hatana ki a ia ano, me pehea e tu ai tona rangatiratanga? e mea na hoki koutou, na Perehepura taku peinga rewera.

19 Na, ki te mea na Perehepura taku peinga rewera, na wai te peinga a a koutou tama? mo konei hei kaiwhakawa ratou mo koutou.

20 Tena ki te mea na te ringa o te Atua taku peinga rewera, ina, kua tae mai te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki a koutou.

21 Ki te tiakina e te tangata kaha, he patu nei ana, tona whare, ka ata takoto ana taonga:

22 Ki te puta mai ia te mea e kaha atu ana i a ia, a ka hinga tera, na ka tangohia ana patu i whakamanawa ai ia, ka tuwhatuwhaia ona taonga.

23 Ko te tangata ehara i te hoa noku, he hoariri ia ki ahau: ko te tangata kahore e kohikohi tahi maua, e titaritari ana.

24 Ka puta te wairua poke i roto i te tangata, ka haereere ia ra nga wahi waikore rapu okiokinga ai; a, kahore e kitea, ka mea ia, Ka hoki ahau ki toku whare i puta mai ai ahau.

25 A, no te taenga atu, rokohanga atu kua oti te tahitahi, te whakapaipai.

26 Na ka haere ia, ka tango i etahi atu wairua tokowhitu, he kino atu i a ia; a ka tomo atu, ka noho i reira: a kino atu i te timatanga te whakamutunga o taua tangata.

27 A i ia e korero ana i enei mea, ka karanga ake tetahi wahine i roto i te mano, ka mea ki a ia, Koa tonu te kopu i kawea ai koe, me nga u i ngotea e koe.

28 Ano ra hoki ko ia, Engari ra, tino koa te hunga e whakarongo ana ki te kupu a te Atua, a e mahi ana.

29 A, no ka rupeke te mano, ka anga ia ka korero, He whakatupuranga kino tenei: e rapu ana ki tetahi tohu; a e kore tetahi tohu e hoatu, ko te tohu anake o Hona poropiti.

30 I waiho nei hoki a Hona hei tohu ki nga tangata o Ninewe, ka pera ano te Tama a te tangata ki tenei whakatupuranga.

31 Ka whakatika ngatahi te kuini o te tonga i te whakawakanga me nga tangata o tenei whakatupuranga, ka whakatau i te he ki a ratou; i haere hoki ia i nga pito o te whenua ki te whakarongo ki te whakaaro nui o Horomona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke atu i a Horomona.

32 Ka whakatika ngatahi nga tangata o Ninewe i te whakawakanga me tenei whakatupuranga, ka whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i ripeneta hoki ratou i te kauwhautanga a Hona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke atu i a Hona.

33 Ka tahuna te rama, e kore e waiho e te tangata ki te wahi ngaro, ki raro ranei i te puhera, engari ki runga ki te turanga, kia kitea ai te marama e te hunga e tomo atu ana.

34 Ko te kanohi te rama o te tinana: na, ki te atea tou kanohi, ka marama ano tou tinana katoa; tena ki te kino, ka pouri ano hoki tou tinana.

35 Na reira kia ata titiro mehemea ehara i te pouri te marama i roto i a koe.

36 Na, a ki te marama tou tinana katoa, a ki te kore ona wahi pouri, ka marama katoa ano, me te mea ko te mura o te rama e whakamarama ana i a koe.

37 Na, i a ia e korero ana, ka tono tetahi parihi kia kai ia ki a ia; a haere ana ia ki roto, ka noho.

38 A, i te kitenga o te Parihi, ka miharo, no te mea kahore ia e horoi i mua o te kainga.

39 Ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, Tenei koutou, e nga Parihi, te horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te rihi; ko roto ia o koutou e ki ana i te pahua, i te kino.

40 E te hunga kuware, kihai ianei i hanga a roto e te kaihanga o waho?

41 Engari hoatu nga mea o roto hei atawhainga mo nga rawakore; a ka ma nga mea katoa ki a koutou.

42 Otira, aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga Parihi! e hoatu ana hoki e koutou te wahi whakatekau, o te miniti, o te ru, o nga otaota katoa, a kapea ake te whakarite whakawa me te aroha ki te Atua: he tika ano ko enei kia meatia, kia kaua ano hoki era e kapea.

43 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga parihi! ko ta koutou hoki e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia, me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko.

44 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e rite na koutou ki nga urupa ngaro, e kore e kitea e nga tangata e haereere ana i runga.

45 Na ka whakahoki tetahi o nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, he whakahe ano hoki mo matou enei korero au.

46 Na ko tana meatanga, Aue, te mate mo koutou hoki, e nga kaiwhakaako o te ture! e whakawaha ana hoki koutou i nga tangata ki nga kawenga taimaha rawa hei pikaunga, a e kore tetahi o o koutou matihao e pa atu ki aua kawenga.

47 Aue, te mate mo koutou! ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga urupa o nga poropiti, na o koutou matua hoki ratou i whakamate.

48 Na, he kaiwhakaatu koutou he kaiwhakaae ki nga mahi a o koutou matua: na ratou hoki ratou i whakamate, ko koutou hoki hei hanga i o ratou urupa.

49 Na konei ano te matauranga o te Atua i mea ai, Maku e tono he poropiti, he apotoro ki a ratou, a ka whakamate, ka tukino ratou i etahi o ratou:

50 Kia rapua ai he utu i tenei whakapaparanga mo te toto o nga poropiti katoa i ringihia nei no te timatanga ra ano o te ao;

51 No te toto o Apera, tae noa ki te toto o Hakaraia i mate nei ki waenganui o te aata, o te wahi tapu: ae ra, ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, E rapua he utu i tenei whakapaparanga.

52 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiwhakaako o te ture! kua tangohia hoki e koutou te ki o te matauranga: kihai koutou i tomo ki roto, a i arai hoki koutou i te hunga e tomo ana.

53 Na, i tona putanga mai ki waho, ka timata te tohetohe kaha a nga karaipi, a nga Parihi ki a ia, he mea kia maha atu ai ana korero:

54 E whakamoho ana hoki, kia mau tetahi kupu a tona mangai.

1 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; 7 and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee? 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

14 And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled. 15 But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons. 16 And others, trying him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. 21 When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: 22 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.

27 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. 30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

33 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light. 34 The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness. 36 If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.

37 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. 40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

42 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces. 44 Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not.

45 And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their tombs. 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they shall kill and persecute; 50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53 And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things; 54 laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
