Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Yesu gatrɔ ge ɖe ʋua me, eye wòtso ƒua va Kapernaum, si nye wo dedu me.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
Eɖo afi ma eteƒe medidi hafi ame aɖewo kɔ ŋutsu aɖe si le lãmetutudɔ lém la ɖe aba dzi vɛ o. Yesu kpɔ be ameawo ƒe xɔse de to ŋutɔ, eya ta egblɔ na dɔnɔ la be, “Vinye, wò dzi nedze eme, elabena wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò.”
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfiala aɖewo nɔ afi ma se nya siwo do le Yesu nu la, eye wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Nu ka! Ame sia gblɔ busunya.”
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Yesu nya nu si nɔ woƒe susu me, eya ta ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele nu baɖa siawo ƒomevi susum ɖo?
5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Mibu eŋuti kpɔ be kae le bɔbɔe wu, be woagblɔ na ame sia be, ‘Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò’ alo woagblɔ nɛ be, ‘Tso nàzɔ azɔli?’”
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Be miadze sii be ŋusẽ le nye Amegbetɔ Vi la si le anyigba sia dzi be matsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake amewo le anyigba dzi ŋuti la, Yesu trɔ ɖe lãmetututɔ la gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsi tsitre nàŋlɔ wò aba ne nàzɔ ayi aƒe me!”
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Ame la tsi tsitre enumake, eye wòfɔ eƒe nuwo heyi aƒe me.
8 But when the multitudes saw [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Nyateƒe, vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe dze ameha blibo la dzi, elabena Yesu wɔ nukunu sia le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkume wokpɔ, eye wokafu Mawu be wòna ŋusẽ triakɔ sia tɔgbi amegbetɔ!
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Esi Yesu nɔ tsa ɖim le dua me la, eva ke ɖe dugadzɔla aɖe si woyɔna be Mateo la ŋu wònɔ anyi ɖe dugadzɔƒe. Yesu yɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Va dze yonyeme ne nàzu nye nusrɔ̃la.” Mateo tso enumake, eye wòdze Yesu yome.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Gbe ma gbe fiẽ la, Mateo kpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woava ɖu nu le yeƒe aƒe me. Dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔla bubuwo hã nɔ ame kpekpeawo dome.
11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
Farisitɔwo kpɔ esia, ale wobia Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nu ka ta miaƒe nufiala dea ha kple dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, eye woɖua nu kple wo hã ɖo?”
12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Yesu se nya la, eye wòɖo eŋu na wo gblɔ be, “Ame siwo mele dɔ lém o la mehiã atikewɔla o, ke boŋ ame siwo le dɔ lém lae hiãe.
13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Ke miyi miasrɔ̃ nu si gblɔm mawunya sia le la be, ‘Nublanuikpɔkpɔe medi, ke menye vɔsa o.’ Nyemeva be mayɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo o, ke boŋ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.”
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Gbe ɖeka la, Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va Yesu gbɔ va biae be, “Nu ka ta wò nusrɔ̃lawo metsia nu dɔna abe ale si mí kple Farisitɔwo míewɔna ene o ɖo?”
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Yesu hã bia wo be, “Ɖe wòle be ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la xɔlɔ̃wo nanɔ konyi fam, atsi nu adɔ le esime wòle wo gbɔa? Ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esime woakplɔe adzoe le wo gbɔ, eye le ɣe ma ɣi me la, woagbe nuɖuɖu atsi nu adɔ.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
“Womate ŋu atsɔ avɔnuɖeɖi yeye aka avɔ vuvu o. Ne wowɔe alea la, avɔ yeye la aho ɖa le teƒea, eye teƒe si vuvu la akeke ɖe edzi wu.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Nenema ke womekɔa aha yeye hã ɖe lãgbalẽgolo xoxo me o. Ne wowɔ esia la, aha yeye la ƒe ŋusẽ awɔe be lãgbalẽgolo la nawo, eye aha la kple goe la katã dome agblẽ. Lãgbalẽgolo yeye ko me woate ŋu akɔ aha yeye ɖo. Ekema aha la kple lãgbalẽgolo la katã woanɔ dedie.”
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
Esime Yesu nɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe ƒe amegã aɖe va dze klo ɖe eƒe ŋkume hede ta agu nɛ. Egblɔ na Yesu be, “Vinye nyɔnuvi ku fifi laa, gake mexɔe se be àte ŋu ana wòagagbɔ agbe nenye be èva ka asi eŋu ko.”
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ ɖo ta amegã la ƒe aƒe me enumake.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:
Esime wonɔ mɔa dzi la, nyɔnu aɖe si nɔ ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ la va ka asi eƒe awu to,
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
elabena egblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Nenye be meka asi eƒe awu to teti ko la, nye lãme asẽ.”
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Yesu trɔ ɖe eŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyɔnuvi, wò dzi nedze eme! Wò xɔse la da gbe le ŋuwò.” Tso gbe ma gbe ko la, nyɔnu la ƒe dɔa vɔ nɛ keŋ.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Esi Yesu va ɖo amegã la ƒe aƒe me la, ekpɔ be amewo nɔ avi fam hoo, eye wonɔ kuteƒehawo hã dzim.
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Yesu gblɔ be, “Mina ame siawo katã nado go le xɔa me, elabena ɖevi la meku o, alɔ̃ ko dɔm wòle.” Ame siwo se nya sia la ɖu fewu le eŋu, eye ɖewo hã koe.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Wonya ameha la do goe mlɔeba. Yesu yi afi si wokɔ ɖevi la mlɔe la, eye wòlé eƒe alɔnu. Nyɔnuvi la nyɔ enumake; eti kpo ɖi le aba la dzi, eye eƒe lãme sẽ.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Nukunu sia kaka ɖe nuto blibo la katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko megbe.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on us.
Esime Yesu do go le aƒea me yina la, ŋkuagbãtɔ eve kplɔe ɖo henɔ ɣli dom be, “O, Fia David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nublanui na mí.”
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Wokplɔe ɖo yi aƒe si me wòge ɖo la. Tete Yesu trɔ ɖe wo ŋu bia wo be, “Miexɔe se be mate ŋu aʋu ŋku na mia?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ.”
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Ale Yesu ka asi woƒe ŋkuwo ŋu hegblɔ be, “Ava eme na mi abe ale si miexɔe se ene.”
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
Enumake woƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, eye wode asi nukpɔkpɔ me nyuie. Yesu de se na wo vevie bena, womegagblɔ nu si yewɔ na wo la na ame aɖeke o.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
Ke ameawo mewɔ ɖe Yesu ƒe didi dzi o; esi wodo ɖe ablɔ dzi ko la, wokaka nu si wòwɔ na wo la, eye eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo le nuto blibo la me.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Esi Yesu nɔ dzodzom le afi ma la, wokplɔ ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ, eye metea ŋu ƒoa nu o la vɛ nɛ.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Yesu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe le ame la me, eye wòde asi nuƒoƒo me enumake. Nu sia wɔ nuku na ameha la ŋutɔ, ale wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, yewomekpɔ esia tɔgbi kpɔ le Israel o.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
Ke Farisitɔwo ya gblɔ be, “Nu si ta wòtea ŋu nyaa gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃woe ɖo lae nye be, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ƒe fia la le eya ŋutɔ me.”
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Yesu tsa le kɔƒe kple du siwo le nuto ma me la kpe ɖo. Enɔ mawunya gblɔm le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒewo, eye wònɔ gbeƒã ɖem mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui la hã, eye afi sia afi si wòyi la, edaa gbe le dɔ ƒomevi vovovo lélawo ŋu.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Ameawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, elabena nu geɖewo nɔ fu ɖem na wo, ke womenya nu si woawɔ o. Ɖeko wonɔ abe alẽha si kplɔla meli na o la ene.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;
Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nuŋeŋe la sɔ gbɔ, gake dɔwɔlawo mede ha o.
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Eya ta miɖe kuku na nuŋeŋe ƒe Aƒetɔ la bena, wòadɔ dɔwɔlawo aɖo ɖe eƒe nuŋeŋe la me.”
