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.
Tia paht tukun ma inge, Jesus el fahsryak in sie ima in wheat ke len Sabbath. Mwet tumal lutlut elos masrinsral, ouinge elos mutawauk in kunesla wheat uh ac kang.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Ke mwet Pharisee liye ma inge, elos fahk nu sin Jesus, “Liye, mwet tumom lutlut elos lain Ma Sap lasr ke elos oru ma inge ke len Sabbath!”
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ku kowos soenna rit ma David el tuh oru ke pacl se el ac mwet lal elos tuh masrinsral ah?
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?
El tuh utyak nu in lohm sin God, na el, ac mwet lal, elos mongo ke bread ma kisakinyukyang nu sin God, finne lain Ma Sap elos in mongo kac — mwet tol mukena pa lela nu se in kang bread inge.
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?
Ku kowos tia pac rit in Ma Sap lal Moses lah ke len Sabbath nukewa, mwet tol su muta in Tempul elos kunaus pac ma sap lun len Sabbath a wangin mwatalos kac?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su yohk liki Tempul.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
Ma Simusla fahk mu, ‘Pakoten pa nga lungsik, ac tia mwe kisa.’ Kowos funu etu kalmen kas inge, kowos lukun tiana sang mwatan mwet su wangin ma koluk la;
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
tuh Wen nutin Mwet el Leum lun len Sabbath.”
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Jesus el fahsr liki acn sac ac som nu in sie iwen lolngok.
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.
Sie mukul su ul lac paol el muta we, wi kutu mwet su kena konauk mwatan Jesus. Na elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Ya ac lain Ma Sap lal Moses in akkeyala mas ke len Sabbath?”
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?
Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ac fuka fin soko sheep nutin sie suwos putatyang nu in sie luf na loal ke len Sabbath? Ya el ac tia som sraklalak liki luf sac?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
Arulana yohk sripen sie mwet liki soko sheep! Ke ma inge, Ma Sap uh lela tuh kut in kasru mwet ke len Sabbath.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Na el fahk nu sin mwet se ma ulla lac pao uh, “Asroela poum.” Mwet sac asroela paol, na paol kwela oana lac po ngia.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Na mwet Pharisee elos som ac pwapa in unilya Jesus.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Ke sripen Jesus el etu pwapa koluk lalos inge, el fahsr liki acn sac; ac un mwet puspis fahsr tokol. El akkeyalosla nukewa su mas,
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
ac wili nu selos in tiana fahk kacl nu sin kutena mwet.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
El oru ouinge in akpwayei ma mwet palu Isaiah el fahkak kacl:
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.
“El inge mwet kulansap luk su nga sulela, El su nga lungsik, ac su nga insewowo kac. Nga ac fah sang Ngunik nu facl, Ac el ac fah fahkak nununku luk nu sin mutunfacl uh.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
El ac fah tia alein, ku wowoyak, Ku orek sramsram oraru inkanek uh.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
El fah tia koteya soko loa ma kuruweni, Ku konela sie lam su apkuran in kunla. El ac kwafeang nwe ke pacl se ma suwohs uh kutangla.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
Ac mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac fah filiya finsrak lalos in el.”
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.
Na kutu mwet elos use sie mwet kun nu yurin Jesus su tia pac ku in kaskas mweyen oasr sie ngun fohkfok in el. Jesus el akkeyala mwet sac, na el ku in kaskas ac liye.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
U lulap sac arulana fwefela ke ma Jesus el oru. Na kutu selos fahk, “Ya tia el inge pa Wen nutin David?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng ma inge, elos fahk, “El lusla ngun fohkfok inge ke sripen Beelzebul, leum lun ngun fohkfok uh, el sang ku nu sel in oru.”
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.
Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, ke ma inge el fahk nu selos, “Kutena facl lulap su sifacna amei inmasrlolos, ac fah tia oan paht. Ac kutena acn, ku sou, ma tukeni alein, ac fah musalla.
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Ke ma inge, Satan el fin sisla Satan, kalmac pa el sifacna lainul, na tokosrai lal tia ku in oan paht.
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Kowos fahk mu nga lusla ngun fohkfok mweyen Beelzebul el se ku nu sik in oru ouinge. Fin pwaye, na su sang ku nu sin mwet lowos in oru ma inge? Ma mwet lowos uh oru sifacna akkalemye lah kowos sutuela!
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Mo, tia Beelzebul, a Ngun lun God pa ase nu sik ku in lusla ngun fohkfok inge, su akpwayei lah Tokosrai lun God tuku tari nu fowos.
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.
“Wangin sie mwet ku in sifacna utyak nu in lohm sin sie mwet ku, ac usla ma lal el fin tia kapriya mwet ku sacn meet, na toko el fah ku in usla ma in lohm sel uh.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
“Kutena mwet su tia wiyu, pwayena lah el lainyu; kutena mwet su tia kasreyu in orani, pwayena lah el akfahsryelik.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Ke sripa se inge, nga fahk nu suwos: Mwet uh ku in eis nunak munas ke kutena ma koluk, ku kutena kas fohkfok elos fahk; tusruktu, kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas koluk ke Ngun Mutal, fah tiana nunak munas nu sel kac.
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)
Kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas lain Wen nutin Mwet, ac ku in nunak munas nu sel kac; tusruktu, kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas lain Ngun Mutal, ac fah tia ku in nunak munas nu sel-tia inge, ku nwe tok. (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.
“Fahko wo tuku ke sak ma ku; fin oasr soko sak ma munas, fahko kac ac fah koluk. Soko sak eteyuk ke fahko la.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Kowos wet pwasin — kowos ku in fahk kas wo fuka ke kowos mwet koluk? Tuh oalu el kaskas ac fahk ma su insia sessesla kac.
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.
Sie mwet wo el ac use ma wo liki ma wo el elosak in el; ac sie mwet koluk el ac use ma koluk liki ma koluk el elosak in el.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
“Nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, kais sie mwet ac fah enenu in fahkak sripa lal ke kas lusrongten nukewa ma el fahkla.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Kas lom sifacna ac fah touyak in nununkekom, in fahkak lah ac oasr mwatum, ku wangin.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Na kutu sin mwet luti ke Ma Sap ac kutu mwet Pharisee elos tuku ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, kut ke liye kom in oru sie mwe akul lulap sin God me.”
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.
Na Jesus el fahk, “Fuka lupan koluk ac pilesru God lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Ya kowos ke liye sie mwe akul lulap? Mo! Pwayena mwe akul kowos ac liye pa mwe akul su tuh sikyak nu sel mwet palu Jonah.
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.
In ouiya se na ma Jonah el tuh muta len tolu ac fong tolu ke sien ik lulap soko ah, ouinge Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah oan ye fohk uh len tolu ac fong tolu.
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.
Ke Len in Nununku uh, mwet Nineveh elos ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen elos tuh forla liki ma koluk lalos ke elos lohng luti lal Jonah. Ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su yohk lukel Jonah!
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.
Ke Len in Nununku uh, Kasra lun Sheba el ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen el tuh tuku liki acn sel su oan yen loeslana, in tuh porongo kas lalmwetmet lal Solomon. Ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Solomon!
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
Ke pacl sie ngun fohkfok el illa liki sie mwet, el ac forfor yen wangin kof we in suk acn elan muta we. El fin tia ku in konauk,
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.
na el ac nunku in el sifacna, ‘Nga ac folokla nu in lohm se nga muta we meet ah,’ na ke el folokla, el liye lah lohm sel uh wangin koano-imonyukla ac arulana nasnas.
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.”
Na el ac sifil illa ac solama itkosr pac ngun ma koluk lukel, na elos ac tuku ac muta in lohm sac. Na saflaiyen mwet sac arulana koluk liki meet ah. Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet koluk in len inge uh.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Jesus el srakna sramsram nu sin un mwet sac ke nina kial ac mwet lel elos tuku. Elos tu na likinuma ac siyuk elos in sramsram nu sel.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Na sie sin mwet uh fahk nu sin Jesus, “Liye, nina kiom ac mwet lim elos oasr likinuma ac elos ke sramsram nu sum.”
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet sac, “Su nina kiuk? Ac su mwet wiuk?”
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Na el srisrngiya mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Liye! Pa inge nina kiuk ac mwet wiuk uh!
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Kutena mwet su oru ma lungse lun Papa tumuk inkusrao, el pa mwet lik ac mwet louk ac nina kiuk.”
