1 Ko te timatanga o te rongopai o Ihu Karaiti, o te Tama a te Atua;

2 Ko te mea ia i tuhituhia i roto i ta Ihaia poropiti, Na ka tonoa e ahau taku karere i mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara i mua i a koe.

3 He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, Whakatikaia ona ara.

4 I haere mai a Hoani, ka iriiri i te koraha, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara.

5 Na ka haere ki a ia te whenua katoa o Huria, me nga tangata o Hiruharama, a iriiria katoatia ana e ia ki te awa ki Horano, me te whaki ano i o ratou hara.

6 Na ko te kakahu o Hoani he huruhuru kamera, he hiako hoki te whitiki o tona hope; ko tana kai he mawhitiwhiti he honi koraha.

7 A i kauwhau ia, i mea, Tenei te haere mai nei i muri i ahau tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau ki te piko iho wewete ai i te here o ona hu.

8 Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai: mana ia koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

9 A i aua ra ka haere mai a Ihu i Nahareta o Kariri, ka iriiria e Hoani ki Horano.

10 A, i taua wa ano i a ia e haere ake ana i te wai, ka kaite ia i nga rangi e wahia ana kia tuwhera, me te Wairua, ano he kukupa, e heke iho ana ki a ia:

11 A ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.

12 A i reira pu ano ka tonoa ia e te Wairua ki te koraha.

13 A e wha tekau ona ra i reira i te koraha e whakamatautauria ana e Hatana; i roto ia i nga kararehe mohoao: ko nga anahera hoki ki te mahi mea mana.

14 Na, i muri i a Hoani i tukua ai ki te herehere, ka haere a Ihu ki Kariri, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te Atua,

15 Ka mea, Kua rite tenei te wa, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua: ripeneta, whakaponohia te rongopai.

16 Na, i a ia e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Kariri, ka kite i a Haimona raua ko tona teina, ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana: he kaihao ika hoki raua.

17 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a raua, Haere mai i muri i ahau, a maku korua e mea hei kaihao tangata.

18 A mahue tonu ake i a raua nga kupenga, aru ana i a ia.

19 A, haere tata atu ana i reira, ka kite ia i a Hemi, tama a Heperi, raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, i te kaipuke ano raua e ta ana i nga korenga o a ratou kupenga.

20 Na karanga tonu atu ia i a raua: a mahue ake i a raua to raua matua a Heperi i te kaipuke me nga kaimahi, a haere ana i muri i a ia.

21 A ka tomo ratou ki Kaperenauma; na haere tonu ia i te hapati ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako.

22 A miharo ana ratou ki tana ako: i rite hoki tana ako i a ratou ki ta te tangata whai mana, kihai i rite ki ta nga karaipi.

23 Na i to ratou whare karakia tetahi tangata, he wairua poke tona; a ka karanga ia,

24 Ka mea, Kati ra, he aha ta matou ki a koe, e Ihu o Nahareta? kua tae mai ranei koe ki te whakangaro i a matou? e matau ana ahau ko wai koe, ko te Mea Tapu a te Atua.

25 A ka riri a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kati te korero, puta mai i roto i a ia.

26 Na ka haehae te wairua kino i a ia, nui atu hoki tona reo ki te karanga, a puta ana mai i roto i a ia.

27 A miharo noa ratou katoa, uiui ana ki a ratou ano, mea ana, He aha tenei? he aha tenei ako hou? mana tonu tana nei tono i nga wairua poke, a rongo rawa ki a ia.

28 Na paku tonu atu tona rongo ki nga wahi katoa e tata ana ki Kariri.

29 Na i reira tonu, i to ratou putanga mai i te whare karakia, tomo tonu atu ratou ko hemi, ko Hoani, ki te whare o Haimona raua ko Anaru.

30 Na i te takoto te hungawai wahine o Haimona, he kirika, a korerotia tonutia atu ia e ratou ki a ia.

31 Heoi, i tona taenga atu, ka mau ki tona ringa, whakaarahia ana ia; mutu tonu ake tona kirika, ka tahuri ki te taka mea ma ratou.

32 Na i te ahiahi, i te toenetanga o te ra, ka mauria mai ki a ia nga turoro katoa, me te hunga e nohoia ana e nga rewera.

33 A huihui katoa ana te pa ki te kuwaha.

34 He tokomaha te hunga e ngaua ana e te tini o nga mate i whakaorangia e ia, he maha hoki nga rewera i peia; a kihai i tukua e ia nga rewera kia korero, no te mea i matau ratou ki a ia.

35 Na i te atatu, i mua noa atu o te awatea, ka ara ia, ka puta ki waho, ka haere ki te wahi koraha, ki reira inoi ai.

36 Na ka whai a Haimona ratou ko ona hoa i a ia.

37 A, ka kitea ia, ka mea ki a ia, E rapu ana nga tangata katoa i a koe.

38 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Tatou ka haere he wahi ke ki nga kainga tata, ki reira ahau kauwhau ai: ko taku hoki tera i haere mai ai.

39 Na ka tomo ia ki roto i o ratou whare karakia puta noa i Kariri, ka kauwhau, ka pei hoki i nga rewera ki waho.

40 A ka haere mai ki a ia tetahi repera, ka inoi ki a ia, tuku rawa nga turi ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.

41 Na ka aroha a Ihu, ka totoro tona ringa, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E pai ana ahau; kia ma koe.

42 A, puaki kau tona reo, kua kore tona repera, na kua ma.

43 Na ka whakatupato ia ki a ia, a tonoa tonutia atu,

44 Ka mea atu hoki ki a ia, Kei korerotia tetahi mea ki te tangata: engari haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, a mauria atu mo tou whakamakanga nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

45 Heoi, i tona putanga atu, ka anga ki te kororo nui haere, ka whakapuakina taua mea, a kihai a Ihu i ahei te haere nui ki te pa i muri iho, engari i noho ia i waho i nga wahi koraha: a haere ana mai ratou ki a ia i nga wahi katoa.

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,

Who shall prepare thy way;

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

Make ye ready the way of the Lord,

Make his paths straight;

4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 11 and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.

16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. 19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

21 And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

29 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: 31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

40 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean. 42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, 44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
