Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Yesu noidho yie mi ongʼado nam nyaka loka komachielo, mi nochopo e dala kama ne onywole.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Jomoko nokelone ja-athany, konindo e pien. Kane Yesu oneno yie ma jogo ne nigo, nowachone ja-athanyno niya, “Wuoda, bed gi kwe e chunyi, richoni oweni.”
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Kuom mano jopuonj chik moko nowacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ngʼatni yanyo Nyasaye!”
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Kaka Yesu nongʼeyo pachgi, nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo uyie mondo paro maricho obed e chunyu?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Ere mayot wacho, wacho ni, ‘Richoni oweni,’ koso wacho ni, ‘Aa malo mondo iwuothi?’
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
To mondo ungʼe ni Wuod Dhano nigi teko e piny mar weyo richo.” Eka nowachone ja-athanyno niya, “Aa malo kaw pieni mondo idhi dala.”
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Mi ngʼatno noa malo kendo odhi dala.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Ka oganda noneno gima notimore, negipongʼ gi luoro; kendo negipako Nyasaye, ma nosechiwo teko machal kamano ne ji.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Kane oyudo Yesu dhi nyime koa kanyo ne oneno ngʼato ma nyinge Mathayo kobet piny e od jasol osuru. Nowachone niya, “Luwa,” mi Mathayo noa malo kendo noluwe.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Kane oyudo Yesu chiemo e od Mathayo, josol osuru mangʼeny kod joricho mangʼeny nobiro mochiemo kode kaachiel gi jopuonjrene bende.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Kane jo-Farisai oneno mano, negipenjo jopuonjrene niya, “Angʼo momiyo japuonju chiemo gi josol osuru kod joricho?”
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Kane Yesu owinjo mano, nowachonegi niya, “Joma ngima ok ema dwar jathieth makmana joma tuo.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
To dhiuru upuonjru tiend wachni, ‘Gima adwaro en ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango.’Nimar ok ne abiro mondo aluong joma kare, to nabiro mondo aluong joricho.”
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Eka jopuonjre Johana nobiro ire mopenje niya, “Ere kaka wan kod jo-Farisai watweyo chiemo to jopuonjreni to ok twe chiemo?”
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
To Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Ere kaka welo mag wuon kisera nyalo kuyo adier kapod en kodgi? Kata kamano ndalo nobi ma wuon kisera nogol e kindgi; eka ginitwe chiemo e kindeno.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
“Onge ngʼama twangʼo rabaw mar law manyien kuom law moti, nimar rabaw mar law manyien-no biro mich mi ywa law machon-no, mi omed yiech moloyo.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Kamano bende, ji ok nyal olo divai manyien e piende moti mag tingʼo divai. Ka gitimo kamano to piendego biro barore, mi divai pukre oko, kendo piende mag tingʼo divai biro kethore. Ooyo, giolo divai manyien e piende mag tingʼo divai manyien, eka iritogi maber giduto kargi ariyo.”
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Kane oyudo owacho wechegi, jatelo moro nobiro mokulore e nyime kawacho niya, “Nyara otho machiegni. To yie ibi iket lweti kuome mondo obed mangima.”
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Yesu nowuok kendo nodhi kode, kaachiel gi jopuonjrene bende.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
To apoya nono, dhako moro mane osebedo ka iye chwer kuom higni apar gariyo nopore gi yo katoke kendo nomulo riak lawe.
Notimo kamano nimar nowacho gie chunye niya, “Ka anyalo mulo mana riak lawe kende to abiro chango.”
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Kane Yesu olokore monene, nowachone niya, “Bed motegno nyara, nikech yieni osechangi.” Kendo dhakono nochango chakre sano.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Kane Yesu odonjo e od jatelono, moneno joma goyo asili kod oganda mane goyo koko,
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
nowacho niya, “Aiuru kae; nimar nyakoni ok otho, onindo aninda.” To gin neginyiere anyiera.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Kane oseriemb ogandano oko, nodonjo mi okawo nyakono gi bade, kendo noa malo.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Wach gima notimoreno nolandore e gwengʼno duto.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Kane oyudo Yesu medo dhi nyime koa kanyo, muofni ariyo ne luwo bangʼe, ka goyo koko kawacho niya, “Yie ikechwa wuod Daudi!”
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Kane osedonjo ei ot, muofni ariyogo nobiro nyaka ire, kendo nopenjogi niya, “Bende uyie ni anyalo timo ma?” Ne giyiene niya, “Ee, wayie Ruoth.”
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Eka nomulo wengegi kowacho niya, “Biro timorenu kuom yie ma un-go,”
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
kendo negichako neno. Yesu nosiemogi matek niya, “Neuru ni ngʼato ok ongʼeyo wachni.”
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
To gin negidhi mi gikeyo wach kuome e gwengʼno duto.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Ka noyudo giwuok gia, nokelne Yesu ngʼat moro mane nigi jochiende kendo mane ok nyal wuoyo.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
To kane oseriembo jachiendno kuome, ngʼat ma ne momo nowuoyo. Oganda nohum mowacho niya, “Gima chalo kama pok ne one e Israel nyaka nene.”
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
To jo-Farisai to nowacho niya, “Ogolo jochiende gi teko mar ruodh jochiende.”
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Yesu nodhi kuonde duto, e mier matindo kod gwenge duto, kopuonjo e sinagokegi, koyalo Injili mar pinyruoth, kendo kochango kit midekre gi tuoche duto.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Kane oneno oganda maduongʼ mane olwore, nokechogi, nikech ne ichandogi kendo gionge gi kony, mana ka rombe maonge gi jakwath.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Eka nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Cham ochiek mathoth to jotich nok.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Kuom mano, kwauru Ruodh keyo mondo oor jotich odhi e puothe mar keyo.”
