Matiyu 9
1 Yesu pira nanya nzirgi, akafina udu nanya kanme kagbire.
Afterwards Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.
2 Itunna ida nin nimon alle na adinin nkonu nriu nfunu, anon kitene kuppe. Uyenun nyinu mine sa uyenu, Yesu woro nnan konu nriu nfune, “Gono, su liburi libo, alapi fe iwese.”
There some people brought to him a paralysed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Courage, child! Your sins are forgiven.’
3 Itunna amon anan ninyerte iworo nanya natimine, “Ulle unite unan nanzu kitiari.”
Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves, ‘This man is blaspheming!’
4 Yesu yinno ugbilizu mine aworo, “Iyari nta idin gbilizu imon inanza nanya nibinai mine?
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus exclaimed, ‘Why do your cherish such wicked thoughts?
5 Bara iyeme ari kalin nin sheu nbellu, 'Iwese alapi fe sa iworo fita ucinu'?
Which, I ask, is the easier? – to say “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say “Get up, and walk”?
6 Bara nani inan yirino nworu usaun nnit dinin likara nyi a wese alapi, ...” a woro nnan konu nrui nfunue, “Fita, yauna kupefe, udo kilarife.”
But to show you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’ – then he said to the paralysed man – ‘Get up, take up your bed, and return to your home.’
7 Nin nani unite fita anya udu kilari me.
The man got up and went to his home.
8 Na ligosi nyene nani, Iwasu umamaki izazina Kutelle, ulle na adin nizu imus nlo likare kiti nanit.
When the crowd saw this, they were awe-struck, and praised God for giving such power to human beings.
9 Na Yesu nkata likane, ayene unit unan lisa Matta, ule na awa sosin kitin nsesu ngandu. A bellinghe, “Dofini.” Ame fita atunna a dofinghe.
As Jesus went along, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’ Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Na Yesu nso ali imoli nanya kilari, itunaa anan sesungandu nin nanit anan kulapi dasa ida li imonli nin Yesu a nono katuwa me.
And, later on, when he was having dinner in the house, a number of tax collectors and outcasts came in and took their places at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Na afarisayawa nyenenani, iworo nnono katuwa me, “iyari nta unadursuzu mine din li imomli na nan sesu ngandu nin nanit anan nalapi?”
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat in the company of tax collectors and outcasts?’
12 Na Yesu nlanza nani, aworo anit alle na idinmun nakara nidowa, na idin piziru ukan ba, cas anitalle na idimun tikonu idinin su nkan,
On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
13 anug iwasaqaq inya idi yinin imon na idin su, “meng din nin nsu nadalci na uhadaya ba, bara nna dak na nyicila anit alau ba, ituba ba, anan kulapi.”
Go and learn what this means – “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice”; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.’
14 Inug nono katuwa Yohanna da kiti me iworo, iyaghari nta arik nan na farisawa asa ti tere tinu, na inu nono katuwafe din tecu tinu ba.”
Then John’s disciples came to Jesus, and asked, ‘Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?’
15 Yisa belle nani, “Inug alle na ido kiti nilumga wasa isu liburi lisire a kwanyana tiyome yita nanghinua? bara ayiri din cinu na iba da yaunu kwanyana tiyome kitimine, iba teru tinu.
Jesus answered, ‘Can the groom’s friends mourn as long as the groom is with them? But the days will come, when the groom will be taken away from them, and they will fast then.
16 Na umon nwasa atafa kuzeni kupese nin ku kuse ba, bara kupori kupese bati kulutuke jarta, tutun uba yitu kang.
Nobody ever puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for such a patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.
17 Nanere anti nwasa ita nmyin narau lisu ikuse ba, iwa su nani, lisue ba wutu, nmyen naraue gutun, lisuwe ba malu kitii, bara nani ibati nmyen narau mipese lisu lipese vat mine baso.”
Nor do people put new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are lost; but they put new wine into fresh skins, and so both are preserved.’
18 Kubi na Yesu wadi nbellu nile imone kitimine atunno umong unit udia ada atumuno kitime. A woro, “ushono nighe nene akuu, bara nani da uda tarda ghe acarafe aba fitu.”
While Jesus was saying this, a synagogue leader came up and bowed to the ground before him. ‘My daughter,’ he said, ‘has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life.’
19 Nin nani Yesu fitah adofighe, nanere inun nono katuwa me.
So Jesus rose and followed him, and his disciples went also.
20 Itunna umon uwani adi nin gu5tuzunu nmie kang akus likure nin na ba, ada mamalin Yesuada dudo kubaga kulutuk me.
But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from haemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.
21 Bara awa bellin litime,” asa ndudo kulutik me cas meng ba shinu.”
‘If I only touch his cloak,’ she said to herself, ‘I will get well.’
22 Bara nani Yesu gitirno ayeneghe aworo, “ushono ning ta ayi akone, uyinnu fe sa uyenu nshono nin fi, uwane tinna ashino deddei.
Turning and seeing her, Jesus said, ‘Courage, daughter! Your faith has delivered you.’ And at that very moment she became well.
23 Na Yesu nda kilari nnit udia, ada se anan nalantu di naru, a ligozi yita. In ghejilu kang.
When Jesus reached the leader’s house, seeing the flute players, and a number of people all in confusion,
24 ame woroghe, “Canfi na kubure nkuwariba, adin nmoroare, bara nani inug sisaghe nin sughe ubaha.
he said, ‘Go away, the little girl is not dead; she is asleep.’ They began to laugh at him;
25 Na iceou ligoze ndas, a pira nanya kutee, akifoghe ncara kubure fita.
but, when the people had been sent out, Jesus went in, and took the little girl’s hand, and she rose.
26 Unin ulirue tunna umala kiti, nyanya kipi kane.
The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
27 Na Yesu wa kata unzu kikane, adu an waba dofinghe, itunna ntutuzu idi nsu “lanza nkunekune bite usau Dauda.”
As Jesus was passing on from there, he was followed by two blind men, who kept calling out, ‘Take pity on us, Son of David!’
28 Kubi na Yesu ndah nanya kilare, inung aduanne da kitime, Yesu belle nani” anung nyinna nwasa nsu ille imone,” Inung woroghe, “eh Chikilari.”
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ ‘Yes, Master!’ they answered.
29 Nin nnani Yisa dudo iyizi mine, aworo, “Uso nani kitimine, nafo uyinnu mine sa uyenu.”
Then he touched their eyes, and said, ‘It will be according to your faith.’
30 Nanere iyizu mine wa pun. Yesu kpada nani kang aworo, “Yenen na umon wa yinin kitene nile imone ba.”
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly cautioned them. ‘See that no one knows of it,’ he said.
31 Var nin nani adu ani nuzu itunna nbellu nlirie vat kaghir kane.
But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
32 Na anit an waba ane wa nya, itunna idamun nin nmong uturi na agbergenu na pirughe iida mu nghe kitin Yesu.
Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;
33 Kubi na inutuno agbergenue, uturi une lirina, ligozi su umamaki iworo, “Ille imone na tisa yene inin in Israila ba.”
and, as soon as the demon had been driven out, the dumb man spoke. The people were astonished at this, and exclaimed, ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!’
34 Bara nani inung a farisawa woro, “Adin nutuzunu agbergenue nin ndia nagbergenere.”
But the Pharisees said, ‘He drives out the demons by the help of the chief of the demons.’
35 Yisa nya udu vat nighiir nan nitari: aleo ubun dursuzu nanya nati nlira, adi nbelle uliru nlai un tigo, ashino nin vat tikonu nan nale na idi acine ba.
Jesus went round all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
36 Na ayene ligozi nanit, alanza nkune kune mine, bara iwa su udamuwa, nibinai wulu nani bara wnadi nafo akam sa unan libia.
But, when he saw the crowds, his heart was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and harassed, like sheep without a shepherd;
37 A belle nono katuwa me “Unin ugirbe karin inun anan karin ba.
and he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the labourers are few.
38 Bara nani, deddei sun nlira kiti Ncikilari ngirbe, anan kpina nan girbe nanya kunene.”
Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.’
