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.

1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them. 3 And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God? 8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), 11 I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. 12 And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

15 And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

18 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day. 21 No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.

23 And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him? 27 And he said unto 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.
