Matiu 9
1 Jisọs banyekwara nʼụgbọ mmiri nke kwọọrọ ya bịaruo nʼobodo nke ya.
And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.
2 Ndị ikom ụfọdụ butere ya otu nwoke akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, bụ onye dina nʼute. Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ndị ahụ, ọ gwara onye ọrịa ahụ okwu sị ya, “Nwee obi ike nwa m nwoke nʼihi na a gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile.”
And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
3 Nʼoge a, ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu nke ndị Juu nọ nʼebe ahụ sịrịtara onwe ha, “Nwoke a na-ekwulu Chineke.”
And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
4 Ma ebe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-eche nʼobi ha, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ajọ echiche nʼobi unu?
And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
5 Olee nke ka mfe ikwu? Ọ bụ ị sị, ‘A gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile,’ ka ọ bụ ị sị, ‘Bilie jee ije’?
For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
6 Ma ka unu mata na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Bilie, chịrị ute gị laa!”
But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill, ) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
7 Nwoke ahụ biliri, chịrị ute ya laa nʼụlọ ya.
And he got up and went away to his house.
8 Mgbe igwe mmadụ a hụrụ ihe ahụ mere, akpata oyi jụrụ ha nʼahụ nʼihi egwu. Ha tokwara Chineke onye na-enye ụmụ mmadụ ikike dị otu a.
But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
9 Mgbe Jisọs si nʼebe ahụ na-aga, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Matiu ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.” Na-atụfughị oge, ọ hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
10 Dị ka ọ nọdụrụ ala iri nri uhuruchi nʼụlọ Matiu, ọtụtụ ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie sooro ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọdụ na-eri nri.
And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Mgbe ndị Farisii hụrụ nke a, ha jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Gịnị mere onye ozizi unu ji eso ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie na-eri nri?”
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
12 Mgbe ọ nụrụ nke a, Jisọs sịrị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike ka mkpa dibịa na-akpa.
But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
13 Ma gaanụ mụta ihe okwu a pụtara, ‘Ana m achọ ebere, ọ bụghị aja.’Nʼihi na abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie.”
But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
14 Emesịa, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn bịara jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị mere ndị na-eso ụzọ gị adịghị ebu ọnụ dị ka anyị onwe anyị na ndị Farisii na-eme?”
Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
15 Jisọs jụrụ ha sị, “O kwesiri ka ndị enyi onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọrọ na mwute na-erighị nri, mgbe ha na di nwanyị ọhụrụ nọ? Oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ di nwanyị ọhụrụ nʼetiti ha, mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.
And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
16 “Ọ dịghị onye na-eji akwa ọhụrụ kwachie ebe akwa ochie siri dọkaa, nʼihi na akwa ahụ ga-esi nʼebe a kwachiri ya dọwaa; mee ka ọ dị njọ karịa ka ọ dị na mbụ.
And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.
17 Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-etinye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ochie, nʼihi na karama ochie ahụ ga-agbawa mee ka mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ wufuo. Kama ọ dị mma itinye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ, nke ga-echekwa ha abụọ nke ọma.”
And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
18 Mgbe ọ nọ na-ekwu okwu, otu onyeisi ụlọ ekpere bịara kpọọ isiala nye ya, sị, “Ọ dịbeghị anya nwa m nwanyị nwụrụ. Otu ọ dị, bịa ka ị bikwasị ya aka gị. Ọ ga-ebili dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.”
While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
19 Nʼihi nke a, Jisọs soro ya gawa. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sokwara ha.
And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
20 Ma o nwere otu nwanyị onye ahụ na-esighị ike. Nwanyị a anọọla nʼọrịa a afọ iri na abụọ. Ọ bụkwa ọrịa oruru ọbara nke na-adịghị akwụsị akwụsị ka ọ na-arịa. Nwanyị a sitere nʼazụ bịaruo ya nso, metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka.
And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
21 Nʼihi na o kwuolarị nʼime obi ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ nnọọ na m ga-enwe ike metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka, a ga-agwọ m.”
Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
22 Jisọs chigharịrị lee ya anya sị ya, “Ada m, nwee obi ike, nʼihi na e sitela nʼokwukwe gị mee ka ahụ dị gị mma.” Ahụ dịkwara nwanyị ahụ mma site nʼoge ahụ.
But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Mgbe Jisọs batara nʼụlọ onyendu ụlọ ekpere ndị Juu ahụ, hụ igwe mmadụ ka ha na-atụ ụzụ na ndị na-egbu ọja.
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
24 Ọ sịrị ha, “Sinụ ebe a pụọ, nwata nwanyị a anwụghị anwụ, kama ọ nọ nʼụra.” Ma ha chịrị ya ọchị.
He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.
25 Ma mgbe achụpụsịrị igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ, jide nwata nwanyị ahụ nʼaka, o bilie ọtọ.
But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
26 Akụkọ ọrụ ebube a gbasara nʼebe niile nʼala ahụ.
And the news of it went out into all that land.
27 Mgbe Jisọs si nʼebe ahụ na-apụ, ụmụ nwoke abụọ ndị kpuru ìsì sooro ya. Ha tikuru ya mkpu na-asị, “Nwa Devid, meere anyị ebere!”
And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.
28 Ha sooro ya bata nʼụlọ ebe ọ nọ. Ọ jụrụ ha ajụjụ sị, “Unu kwere na m nwere ike ime ka unu hụ ụzọ?” Ha zara sị ya, “E, Onyenwe anyị, anyị kweere.”
And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 O metụrụ ha aka nʼanya sị ha, “Ya dịrị unu dị ka okwukwe unu si dị.”
Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.
30 Ngwangwa ndị ìsì ahụ bidoro ịhụ ụzọ. Jisọs maara ha ọkwa sị ha “Unu agwakwala onye ọbụla.”
And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.
31 Ma ha pụrụ gbasaa akụkọ a ebe niile nʼala ahụ.
But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.
32 Mgbe ndị a sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ, ndị ọzọ buteere ya nwoke dara ogbi, onye mmụọ ọjọọ bikwa nʼime ya.
And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.
33 Mgbe ọ chụpụrụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ, onye ogbi ahụ bidoro ikwu okwu. Ibubo nwụrụ igwe mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụtụbeghị ihe dị otu a nʼala Izrel.”
And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34 Ma ndị Farisii sịrị, “Ọ bụ ekwensu, eze ndị mmụọ ọjọọ, na-enye ya ike ịchụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.”
But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.
35 Jisọs jegharịrị nʼobodo niile na ogbe niile dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ndị ukwu na ndị nta, na-ezi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere ndị Juu, na-ekwusakwa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ. Ọ na-agwọkwa ọrịa na nrịa nrịa niile dị iche iche.
And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.
36 Mgbe ọ hụrụ igwe mmadụ niile na-abịakwute ya, ọmịiko ha mere ya, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị a na-esogbu. Ndị na-enweghị onye inyeaka. Ndị dị ka atụrụ na-enweghị onye na-azụ ha.
But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.
37 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Owuwe ihe ubi hiri nne nʼezie. Ma ndị ọrụ dị ole na ole.
Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.
38 Ya mere, rịọọnụ Onyenwe owuwe ihe ubi ka o zite ndị ọrụ nʼowuwe ihe ubi ya.”
Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
