Matthew 12
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
E kindeno Yesu noyudo kadho e kind puothe mag cham chiengʼ Sabato. To jopuonjrene nodenyo, omiyo negichako jako wi ngano moko mochiek mondo gicham.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Ka jo-Farisai noneno mano, negiwachone niya, “Neye! Jopuonjreni timo gima chik ok oyie mondo gitim chiengʼ Sabato.”
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Pok ne usomo gima Daudi notimo chiengʼ ma en kaachiel gi jogo mane ni kode ka kech ne kayogi?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Donge nodonjo e od Nyasaye, kendo en kaachiel gi joma ne ni kode, negichamo makati ma nosepwodhi moket tenge, ma chik ne ok oyienegi mondo gitim, makmana jodolo kende
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Koso pok usomo e Chik ni chiengʼ Sabato, jodolo manie hekalu doko mogak odiechiengʼno, to ok kwan-gi kaka joketho?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
To awachonu ni nitie ngʼato ka maduongʼ moloyo hekalu.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
Ka dine bed ni usengʼeyo tiend wach mawacho ni, ‘Gima adwaro en ni ukech joweteu to ok ni uchiwna misango,’to dine ok ungʼado bura ne joma onge ketho.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Nikech Wuod Dhano en Ruodh Sabato.”
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Kane omedo dhi nyime koa kanyo, nodhi nyaka ei sinagogi,
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
to ne nitie ngʼato kanyo ma lwete notal. Negipenjo Yesu, ka gidwaro yo ma digiyudgo ketho kuome, niya, “Bende chik oyie mondo ochang ngʼato chiengʼ Sabato?”
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
Nowachonegi niya, “Ka ngʼato kuomu nigi rombo kendo rombono olwar ei bur chiengʼ Sabato, donge diywaye igole oko?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
To dhano donge lich moloyo rombo nyadi mangʼeny! Kuom mano, chik oyie mondo otim maber chiengʼ Sabato.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Eka nowachone ngʼatno niya, “Rie lweti,” mi norieye, kendo lwete nochango chuth, mana kaka komachielo.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
To jo-Farisai nowuok modhi kendo negichako chano kaka digineg Yesu.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Kaka Yesu nongʼeyo chenrogino, nowuok kanyo. Ji mangʼeny noluwe, kendo nochango ji duto mane tuo,
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
kosiemogi ni kik gihul ni en ngʼa.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Mano notimore mondo gima nowachi gi dho Janabi Isaya, niya,
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
“Ma e jatichna ma aseyiero, Jal ma ahero ma chunya morgo. Abiro keto Roho Maler mara kuome, kendo obiro lando adiera ne ogendini.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Ok obi dhawo kata goyo nduru; bende onge ngʼama biro winjo dwonde e wangʼ yore.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Kata obedo ni onenore kaka odundu mayom yom to ok notur, kendo kata obedo ni oliel ka taya ma mirimiri to ok notho, nyaka chop otel ne adiera mi lochi.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
Ogendini biro keto genogi e nyinge.”
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
Eka negikelone ngʼat man-gi jachien kendo ma muofu bende mamomo; eka Yesu nochange, momiyo koro nonyalo wuoyo kendo neno.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
Ji duto nohum kendo nowacho niya, “Dibed ni ma e Wuod Daudi?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
To ka jo-Farisai nowinjo wachno, negiwacho niya, “Ngʼatni golo jochiende gi teko mar Belzebub, ruodh jochiende.”
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Yesu nongʼeyo parogi mi nowachonegi niya, “Pinyruoth moro amora mopogore owuon nyaka kethre, kendo dala moro amora kata ot mantiere pogruok ok nyal chungʼ.
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Ka Satan riembo Satan to mano nyiso ni en gi pogruok kende owuon. Koro ere kaka pinyruodhe nyalo chungo?
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Ka dipo ni ariembo jochiende gi teko mar Belzebub, to jou to kara gologi gi teko mar ngʼa? Emomiyo ginibed jongʼadnu bura.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
To ka ariembo jochiende gi teko mar Roho Maler to kare pinyruoth Nyasaye osebironu.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
“Koso, ere kaka ngʼato nyalo monjo od ngʼat maratego mi omaye gige odhigo, ka ok otweyo ngʼatno mokwongo? Kosetimo kamano eka dohedhre mar yako gik moko e odno.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
“Ngʼat ma ok ni koda kedo koda, kendo ngʼat ma ok konya choko ji, keyo ji.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Emomiyo awachonu ni richo gi ayany moyanygo Nyasaye duto nowe ne ji, to ngʼato angʼata mowuoyo marach kuom Roho Maler ok nowene richone.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Ngʼato angʼata mowacho wach moro marach kuom Wuod Dhano nowene, to ngʼato angʼata mowuoyo marach kuom Roho Maler ok nowene richone, e tiengʼni kata e tiengʼ mabiro. (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
“Los yien obed maber eka olembe biro bedo maber, kata ket yath obed marach kendo olembene biro bedo marach, nimar yath ingʼeyo gi kit olemo monyago.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Un koth thuonde fu-gi, ere kaka un ma un jomaricho kamano unyalo wacho gima ber? Nimar gik mopongʼo chuny ngʼato ema wuok e dho ngʼato.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Ngʼat maber golo gik mabeyo mawuok kuom ber mokano e iye, to ngʼat marach golo gik maricho mawuok kuom rach mokano e iye.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
To awachonu ni chiengʼ ngʼado bura ji duto biro dwoko wach kuom weche manono ma gisewacho ka ok giparo matut.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Nimar kuom wecheni iwuon miwacho ema ibiro ketigo thuolo kendo kuom wecheni iwuon miwacho ema ibiro ngʼadonigo bura.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Eka jo-Farisai moko gi jopuonj chik nowachone niya, “Japuonj wadwaro neno hono mitimo kaka ranyisi.”
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
To nodwokogi niya, “Tiengʼ ma timbene richo kendo mamono manyo ranyisi mar hono! To ok bi miye moro amora makmana ranyisi mar janabi Jona.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Nimar mana kaka Jona ne ni ei rech marangʼongo kuom ndalo adek odiechiengʼ gotieno, e kaka Wuod Dhano bende biro bedo ei chuny lowo kuom ndalo adek odiechiengʼ gotieno.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Jo-Nineve biro chungʼ e bura kaachiel gi tiengʼni kendo nongʼadnegi bura kaka joketho; nimar gin ne giweyo richo kane giwinjo yalo mar Jona, to sani koro nitie ngʼato maduongʼ moloyo Jona.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Ruoth ma dhako mar piny ma milambo nochungʼ chiengʼ bura kaachiel gi tiengʼni kendo nongʼadne bura kaka jaketho, nimar nobiro koa e tungʼ piny kuma bor mondo owinj rieko Solomon, to sani koro nitie ngʼato ka maduongʼ moloyo Solomon.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
“Ka jachien marach owuok kuom ngʼato, owuotho kuonde motwo koni gi koni, komanyo kama doyudie yweyo, to ok oyudi.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Eka owacho ni, ‘Abiro dok e ot mane aaye.’ Ka ochopo to oyudo ka odno iye ninono, koyweye maler kendo ochan maber.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
Eka odok kendo oomo jochiende abiriyo mamoko maricho moloye, kendo gibiro gidonj mi gidag kanyo. Bangʼe achien ngima ngʼatno bedo marach moloyo kaka nochal mokwongo. Kamano e kaka biro timore ne tiengʼ marachni.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Kane Yesu pod wuoyo gi oganda mane ochokore, min-gi kaachiel gi owetene nochungʼ oko ka gidwaro wuoyo kode.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Ngʼat moro nowachone Yesu niya, “Minu gi oweteni ochungʼ oko gidwaro wuoyo kodi.”
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Nodwoko ngʼatno niya, “Minwa to en ngʼa, koso owetena to gin ngʼa gini?”
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Eka nosiemone jopuonjrene kowacho niya, “Jogi e minwa gi owetena.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Nimar ngʼato angʼata matimo dwaro mar Wuora manie polo e owadwa gi nyaminwa kod minwa.”
