Matiyu 12
1 Kubi kone na Yesu wa din cin nanya kunen nilarum liri na Sabbat. Kukpon da nono kadura me itunnan pucu nillarume nle.
About the same time Jesus walked through the corn-fields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat and eat them.
2 A farisawa yene nani, iworo Yesu ku, “Yene nono katafe din su nimon ile na icaun isu liri na Sabar ba.”
But, when the Pharisees saw this, they said: “Look! your disciples are doing what it is not allowable to do on a Sabbath!”
3 Yesu woro nani, “Ikuna belu iyerti ile na iwa yertin nimon ile na Dauda wasu a, na kukpon wa daghe, nin nale na awa di naghinua?
“Have not you read,” replied Jesus, “what David did, when he and his companions were hungry —
4 Na awa piru nanya kilari Kutelle, aleu imonli nanan katwa kilari Kutelle, ile na iserin nworu ali ba, nan nale na awadi nanghinu, ule na uduka wa nazaghe nin le, nin nalenge na iwa di ninghe wang, uduka wa naza nani nin le, Uduke wa yinnin a Priesta ku nin le nmang?
how he went into the House of God, and how they ate the consecrated bread, through it was not allowable for him or his companions to eat it, but only for the priests?
5 Tutung na isa yene nanya neyert, au liri na Sabat a Priest din nanzu Asabate ana asa usonani kulapi ba?
And have not you read in the law that, on the Sabbath, the priest in the Temple break the Sabbath and yet are not guilty?
6 Bara nani meng belin minu, umong ulenge na na akatin kutii Kutelle di kikane.
Here, however, I tell you, there is something greater than the Temple!
7 Ndafo iyiru ilenge imone, 'Meng din pizuri nkunekune nayiari ana ma nakpizu nakpizu ba.' Na iwa ni anan sali kulapi kulapi ba.
And had you learned the meaning of the words — ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned those who are not guilty.
8 Nanere gononit ame Cikilari liri na Sabatari.”
For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Yesu suna kite udu nany kutii nlira mine.
Passing on, Jesus went into their Synagogue,
10 Kitene, umong uni wadduku, nin cara na una koto. A Farisawa tirino Yesu ku, i woro, “Ucaun i shin nin mong liri na Sabata?” Bara inan se kulapi kiti me.
and there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath — so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
11 Yesu bele nani, ghari nanya mine, awadi nin kukam kurum, tutung kukam kone nnin deu nanya kuwu kucamcam liri na Sabat, na ama kifu kunin anutun ba?
But Jesus said to them: “Which of you, if he had only one sheep, and that sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lay hold of it and pull it out?
12 Bara nani, na unit katin kukam nin tigo kiti Kutelle ba! Nanere nta, ucaun isu imon icine liri n Sabat.”
And how much more precious a man is than a sheep! Therefore it is allowable to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Yesu woro nnite, “Nakpa ucarafe,” unite nakpa ucare, utunna ushino, uso ucine nafo uleli ucare.
Then he said to the man. “Stretch out your hand.” The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.
14 A Farisawa nuzu udas, itunna pizuru nimon ile na iba kifughe mun. Iwadin pizuru libau longo na iba ti imolughe.
On coming out, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus, to put him to death.
15 Na Yesu nyino nani, a wonno kidowo kusari kurum, anit gbardang dofinghe, a shizuno nani nin tikonu mine.
Jesus, however, became aware of it, and went away from that place. A number of people followed him, and he cured them all;
16 Awunno nani atuf na iwa belin umong ba.
but he warned them not to make him known,
17 Unan so kidegen, ilemon na iwa belin nnuun Ishaya unan liru nin nu Kutelle, nbellu,
in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah —
18 “Yene, kucin ning urika na nna fere; kinayi ning, urika na kibanayi ning din lanzu nmang me. Nma ti uruhu ning nanya me, ame manin bellu ushara kiti nanan salin bi.
‘Behold! the Servant of my Choice, My Beloved, in whom my heart delights! I will breathe my spirit upon him, and he shall announce a time of judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Na ama fo kidowo ba, sa agilu nin liwui kang; na umong tutung ma lanzu liwui me libau libene ba.
He shall not contend, nor cry aloud, Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets;
20 Na awasa apuro kugosin ndiru likara ba; kinni ncin tutung na ama molu ba, se anin nutuno ushara unnasara.
a bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,
21 Alumai tutung mase likara nanya lissame.”
and on his name shall the Gentiles rest their hopes.”
22 Kube itunna ida nin mon unit kitin Yesu unan niduu nin nituri, agbergenu wadi nanya me. Ashino ninghe, unit unan niture nin niduwe yinno ulira akuru atunna nyenju kiti.
Then some people brought to Jesus a possessed man, who was blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the man who had been dumb both talked and saw.
23 vat ligozin nanit wa yatinju inin woro, “Sa ulelere ma yitu usaun Daude?”
At this all the people were astounded. “Is it possible that this is the son of David?” they exclaimed.
24 Na Farisawa nlaza uliru nimon izikiki ilele, iworo, “Na unit ulele din nutuzunu agbergenu ba se nin yinnun Belzubab, usaun ngo nagbergenu.”
But the Pharisees heard of it and said: “He drives out demons only by the help of Baal-zebub the chief of the demons.”
25 Yesu wa yiru nin kpilizu mine aworo nani, “Vat tigo tongo na tidi nin nivira nin litime wulu, tutung kokame kagbiri sa kilari kanga na adi nivira nin liteme ma yisunu ba.
Jesus, however, was aware of what was passing in their minds, and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself becomes a desolation, and any town or household divided against itself will not last.
26 Adi shitan din nutuzunu shitan ku, to adi nivira nin liteme. iyizari kipin tigo me ba yissunu?
So, if Satan drives Satan out, he must be divided against himself; and how, then, can his kingdom last?
27 Adi tutung ndin nutuzunu agbergenu nin yinnun Belzubal, nin yinnun ghari anan dortu mine din nutuzunu nani? Bara nani, ima sominu anan mawucu-wucu.
And, if it is by Baal-zebub’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.
28 Adin tutun ndin nutuzunu nagbergenu nin Ruhu Kutelleri, to kipin tigo Kutelle nda nanya mine.
But, if it is by the help of the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon you.
29 Tutung iyizari unit ba piru kilari nnan nagang asu likiri nomon irika na adumun sa ucizunun teru nan nagaghe? Aning su likiri nimon nnite kilari me.
How, again, can any one get into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods, without first securing him? And not till then will he plunder his house.
30 Ulenge na adi nin miba adi nivira nin mi, ulenge tutung na adin piture nin mi ba, unan musuzuri.
He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not help me to gather is scattering.
31 Bara nani ndin bellu minu vat nalapi nin nanzu lissa iba kusu anit mun, ama unanzu lissan Ruhu na iba kusu ba.
Therefore, I tell you, men will be forgiven every sin and slander; but slander against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 Tutung vat nlenge na abele nlon ligulang kitenen Nsaun nit, ilele ima kusughe mun. Ama vat nlenge naa abele uliru nivira nin Ruhu ulau, na iba kusu alele ba, na nle uyii ba, ana nyii ulenge na udin cinu wang ba. (aiōn g165)
Whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in the present age, or in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Sa ukyele kuca gegeme a iburi me yita gegeme, sa kyele kuce nanzang a iburi kuni yita nanzang.
You must assume either that both tree and fruit are good, or that both tree and fruit are worthless; since it is by its fruits that a tree is known.
34 Anung nono nabuni, tunda na idi nin likara lifacak, iba bellu imon icine nyizari? Bara unuzu nanya adadu liburari asa unu lira.
You brood of vipers! how can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.
35 Unit ulau unuzu filai kibinayi me asa anutuno imon icine, unit unan likara lifacak tutung unuzu filai kibinayi me asa anutuno ileli imon na idi facak.
A good man, from his good stores, produces good things; while an evil man, from his evil stores, produces evil things.
36 Ndin bellu minu tutung, lirin shara, anit mani litul vat nliru unanzang ule na ina bellu.
I tell you that for every careless thing that men say, they must answer on the ‘Day of Judgment.’
37 Bara nanya nliru minere ima se ucinu, nanya nliru minere tutung ibase uteru.
For it is by your words that you will be acquitted, and by your words that you will be condemned.”
38 Among anan niyerti nin na Farisawa kawa Yesu ku iworo, “Unan dursuzu, tidi ninsu tuyene kulap unuzu kitife.”
At this point, some Teachers of the Law and Pharisees interposed. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see some sign from you.”
39 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Aji likara linanzang nin nanan funu din pizuru kulap. Ama na nkon kulap duku na iba ninani ba se kun Yunana unan liru nin nu Kutelle.
“It is a wicked and unfaithful generation,” answered Jesus, “that is asking for a sign, and no sign shall be given it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
40 Bara Yunana wati ayiri atat nin nitik nitat nanya liburi fibo, nanere wang Usaun nnit bati ayiri atat nin nitik nitat kibinayi nyii.
For, just as ‘Jonah was inside the sea-monster three days and three nights,’ so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Anitin Ninivi ma yissunu kitin shara ninko kuji nanite, iba ti uteru nani. Bara iwa sun alapi mine nin lirun kpaduzun Yunana, manin yenen, umong nbun nin Yunana di kikane.
At the Judgment, the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
42 Ushono ngo kusarin nlime ma fitu liri nshara nin nanit nko kuje ati itere nani. Awa dak unuzu ligan nyii anan da lanza ubelen njijin Solomon, manin yeneng, umong nbun Solomon di kikane.
At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
43 Asa uruhu unanzanghe nnuzu nanya nnit, asa ukatiza nitin salin nmyen npiziru shinu, adi na ase ba.
No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest, and does not find it.
44 Asa aworo, 'nma kpilu kilari ning na nna nuzu ku.' Adi a kpilla, ase kilari kane ikuzu kinin inin ceu kinin lau.
Then it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’; but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, and swept, and put in order.
45 Amanin kpillu adi yiru ligowe ninghe nton tiruhu tinanzang tining kuzor na ti katinghe nin magunta, iba nin dak vat inin daso kikane. Ngisin lissosin nlele unite makatinu lin burne nin nanzang. Nanere bayitu nin ko kuje.”
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked generation.”
46 Na Yesu wa dutu nliru nin ligozine, uname nin nuwname tunna iyisina ndas, iwa di npizuru nwo ilirin ninghe.
While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, asking to speak to him.
47 Umong woroghe, “Yene, unafe nin nuwnafine yissin ndas, idin pizuru nwo ilirin ninfi.”
Someone told him this, and Jesus replied:
48 Yesu kawa aworo nani ulenge na abellinghe, “Ghari unanin? Ayagha tutung nuwna nin?”
“Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?”
49 Atunna a nakpa ucara me udu kitin nono katwa me aworo, “Yene, kikane unaning nin nuwna ning!
Then, stretching out his hands towards his disciples, he said: “Here are my mother and my brothers!
50 Bara vat nlenge na adin su imon kibinai Ncif ulenge na adi kitene kani, uleli unitere gwana ning kilime, nin kishono, a unaning.”
For any one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
