1 A i haere ia i reira, a ka tae ki tona kainga tupu; me te aru ano ana akonga i a ia.

2 A, ka taka mai te hapati, ka anga ia ka whakaako i roto i te whare karakia; a he tokomaha hoki, i to ratou rongonga, i miharo, i mea, No hea enei mea a tenei tangata? he matauranga aha tenei kua hoatu nei ki a ia, a he aha te tikanga o enei merek ara nunui kua oti nei i ona ringa?

3 Ehara ianei tenei i te kamura, i te tama a Meri, i te tuakana o Hemi, o Hohi, o Hura, o Haimona? Kahore ianei ona tuahine i konei, i a tatou nei? Heoi he ana ratou ki a ia.

4 Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, kei tona kainga anake, kei ona whanaunga, kei tona whare, te poropiti hapa ai i te honore.

5 A kihai ia i ahei te mea i tetahi merekara ki reira, heoi ano ko te whakapa i ona ringa ki etahi tangata turoro torutoru kia ora ai.

6 A miharo ana ia ki to ratou whakaponokore. Na haereerea ana e ia nga kainga a tawhio noa, whakaako ai.

7 Katahi ia ka karanga i te tekau ma rua, ka anga ka tono i a ratou tokorua, tokorua; a hoatu ana ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke.

8 I whakahau ia ki a ratou, kia kaua tetahi mea e mauria ki te ara, he tokotoko anake; kaua he putea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni mo roto i te whitiki:

9 Engari nga hu, e here na; kaua hoki e takiruatia he koti hei kakahu.

10 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ka tapoko ki tetahi whare, hei reira noho ai a haere noa i reira.

11 A, ki te kahore etahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i reira, ruia atu te puehu i raro i o koutou waewae hei whakaatu ki a ratou. E pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E pai atu mo Hotoma me Komorah a a te ra whakawa, i to tenei pa.

12 Na ka haere ratou, ka kauwhau kia ripeneta te tangata.

13 He maha hoki nga rewera i peia, he tokomaha ano nga turoro i kaukauria ki te hinu, i whakaorangia.

14 A ka rongo a Kingi Herora ki enei mea; nui haere hoki tona ingoa: a ka mea ia, Kua ara a Hoani Kaiiriiri i te hunga mate, na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

15 Ko etahi i mea, Ko Iraia tenei. Ko etahi, he poropiti ia, he pera ranei me tetahi o nga poropiti.

16 Heoi, i te rongonga o Herora, ka mea ia, Ko Hoani tenei i poutoa e ahau te matenga: kua ara ia.

17 I tono tangata hoki taua Herora, a hopukia ana a Hoani, herea iho ki te whare herehere, he mea mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana a Piripi: kua marenatia hoki e ia.

18 Na Hoani hoki i mea ki a Herora, E kore e tika kia riro i a koe te wahine a tou tuakana.

19 Na ka mauahara a Heroriaha ki a ia, ka mea kia whakamatea ia; heoi kihai i taea:

20 I hopohopo hoki a Herora ki a Hoani, i mohio hoki ki a ia he tangata tika, he tapu, na ka ata tiaki i a ia. I tona rongonga ki a ia he nui tona pororaru; a i whakaahuareka ano ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

21 A ka tae ki tetahi wa pai, i te takanga ai a Herora i tona ra whanautanga, he hakari ma ana tangata nunui, ma nga rangatira hoia, ma nga tino tangata o Kariri;

22 A ka haere te tamahine a taua Heroriaha ki roto, ka kanikani, ka ahuareka a Herora ratou ko te hunga e noho tahi ana, a ka mea te kingi ki te kotiro ra, Mau e tono ki ahau tau e pai ai, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

23 Na ka oati ia ki a ia, Ko tau e tono ai ki ahau, ahakoa ko tetahi taha o toku rangatiratanga, me hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

24 Na ka haere ia, ka korero ki tona whaea, Me tono ahau kite aha? Ka mea tera, Ki te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

25 Na hohoro tonu tona haere ki te kingi, ka tono, ka mea, Ko taku e pai ai, kia homai e koe ki ahau aianei ko te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri i runga i te rihi.

26 Na nui atu te pouri o te kingi; otira i te whakaaro ki ana oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, kihai i pai kia whakakahoretia tana.

27 Na tonoa tonutia atu e te kingi tetahi o ana hoia kaitiaki me te whakahau atu kia mauria mai tona matenga: a haere ana tera, poutoa iho e ia tona matenga i roto i te whare herehere,

28 A mauria mai ana tona matenga i runga i te rihi, hoatu ana ki te kotiro: a na te kotiro i hoatu ki tona whaea.

29 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, ka haere mai ka tangohia tona tinana, a whakatakotoria ana ki te urupa.

30 Na ka huihui nga apotoro ki a Ihu, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, i whakaako ai.

31 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere mai koutou na na ki te koraha ki te wahi motu ke, kia ta ai te manawa: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai ana, e haere atu ana, no kihai rawa ratou i watea ki te kai.

32 A haere puku ana ratou ki te koraha ki tetahi wahi motu ke ra te kaipuke.

33 A i kite nga mano i to ratou haerenga, he tokomaha i matau ki a ia, na ka oma a waewae ki reira i roto i nga pa katoa, a ko ratou kua tae wawe.

34 A ka puta a Ihu, ka kite i te hui nui, ka aroha ki a ratou, no te mea i rite ratou ki te hipi heparakore: a ka anga ia ka whakaako i a ratou ki nga mea maha.

35 Na, kua heke noa atu te ra, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra:

36 Tonoa atu ratou kia haere ki nga whenua, ki nga kainga i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

37 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou. Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me haere oti matou ki te hoko taro ki nga pene e rua rau, ka hoatu ai hei kai ma ratou?

38 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Tikina tirohia. Ka mohio ratou, na ka mea, E rima, e rua hoki nga ika.

39 Ka mea ia ki a ratou kia meinga ratou katoa kia noho, he nohoanga, he nohoanga, ki runga ki te tarutaru matomato.

40 Na ka noho ratou, he ropu, he ropu, tataki rau, tataki rima tekau.

41 A ka mau ia ki nga taro e rima, ki nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whakawhati i nga taro, a hoatu ana ki ana akonga kia whakatakotoria ma ratou; i tuwhaina ano hoki e ia nga ika e rua ma ratou katoa.

42 A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona.

43 A kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga, i nga ika hoki.

44 A me te mea e rima mano nga tane i kai taro ra.

45 A akiaki tonu iho ia i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, ki Petahaira, i a ia e tono ana i te mano kia haere.

46 Na ka mutu tana poroporoaki, ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te inoi.

47 Na kua ahiahi, i waenga moana te kaipuke, ko ia anake hoki i uta.

48 Na ka kite ia i a ratou e ruwha ana i te hoenga; i he hoki te hau ki a ratou: a i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere atu ia ki a ratou, i haere maori atu i runga i te moana, me te mea hoki ka pahika ke i a ratou.

49 A, no ka kite ratou i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka mahara he wairua, ka aue:

50 I kite hoki ratou katoa i a ia, a ihiihi ana. Otira ka hohoro ia te korero ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia manawanui: ko ahau tenei; kaua e wehi.

51 Na ka eke ia ki te kaipuke ki a ratou; a mariri iho te hau: a nui atu to ratou ohomauri, miharo ana.

52 Kihai hoki i mahara ki nga taro: he pakeke hoki no o ratou ngakau.

53 A, no to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta, ka herea te kaipuke ki uta.

54 No to ratou mahutatanga i te kaipuke, mohio tonu ratou ki a ia,

55 A ka oma puta noa i taua whenua, a tawhio noa, ka anga ka mau mai i nga turoro i runga i nga moenga ki te wahi, i rongo ai ratou kei reira ia.

56 A, i ona haerenga katoatanga ki nga kainga, ki nga pa, ki nga whenua ranei, ka whakatakotoria e ratou nga turoro ki nga kainga hokohoko, ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau atu ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu: a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa ki a ia.

1 And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

2 and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?` -- and they were being stumbled at him.

4 And Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;`

5 and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];

6 and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

7 and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

8 and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

9 but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

10 And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

11 and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.`

12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,

13 and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].

14 And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.`

15 Others said -- `It is Elijah,` and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.`

16 And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.`

17 For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

18 for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;`

19 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

20 for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

21 And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

22 and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,`

23 and he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.`

24 And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?` and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;`

25 and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.`

26 And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

28 and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

29 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

30 And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

31 and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,` for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

32 and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

33 And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

34 and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

35 And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

36 let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.`

37 And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,` and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries` worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?`

38 And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;` and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.`

39 And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

42 and they did all eat, and were filled,

43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

45 And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

46 and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

48 and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

49 And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,

50 for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

51 And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

53 And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

55 having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

56 and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
