Matta 9
1 İsa tekneye binip karşı kıyıya geçti ve kendi kentine gitti.
Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
2 Kendisine, yatak üzerinde felçli bir adam getirdiler. İsa onların imanını görünce felçliye, “Cesur ol, oğlum, günahların bağışlandı” dedi.
[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.”
3 Bunun üzerine bazı din bilginleri içlerinden, “Bu adam Tanrı'ya küfrediyor!” dediler.
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!”
4 Onların ne düşündüklerini bilen İsa dedi ki, “Yüreğinizde neden kötü düşüncelere yer veriyorsunuz?
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]
5 Hangisi daha kolay? ‘Günahların bağışlandı’ demek mi, yoksa ‘Kalk, yürü’ demek mi?
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]
6 Ne var ki, İnsanoğlu'nun yeryüzünde günahları bağışlama yetkisine sahip olduğunu bilesiniz diye...” Sonra felçliye, “Kalk, yatağını topla, evine git!” dedi.
[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!”
7 Adam da kalkıp evine gitti.
And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
8 Halk bunu görünce korkuya kapıldı. İnsana böyle bir yetki veren Tanrı'yı yücelttiler.
When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
9 İsa oradan geçerken, vergi toplama yerinde oturan birini gördü. Matta adındaki bu adama, “Ardımdan gel” dedi. Adam da kalkıp İsa'nın ardından gitti.
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.
10 Sonra İsa, Matta'nın evinde sofrada otururken, birçok vergi görevlisiyle günahkâr gelip O'nunla ve öğrencileriyle birlikte sofraya oturdu.
[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.
11 Bunu gören Ferisiler, İsa'nın öğrencilerine, “Sizin öğretmeniniz neden vergi görevlileri ve günahkârlarla birlikte yemek yiyor?” diye sordular.
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]
12 İsa bunu duyunca şöyle dedi: “Sağlamların değil, hastaların hekime ihtiyacı var.
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].
13 Gidin de, ‘Ben kurban değil, merhamet isterim’ sözünün anlamını öğrenin. Çünkü ben doğru kişileri değil, günahkârları çağırmaya geldim.”
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].”
14 Bu arada Yahya'nın öğrencileri gelip İsa'ya, “Neden biz ve Ferisiler oruç tutuyoruz da senin öğrencilerin tutmuyor?” diye sordular.
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]?”
15 İsa şöyle karşılık verdi: “Güvey aralarındayken, davetliler yas tutar mı? Ama güveyin aralarından alınacağı günler gelecek, o zaman oruç tutacaklar.
[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].”
16 Hiç kimse eski giysiyi yeni kumaş parçasıyla yamamaz. Çünkü yeni kumaş çeker, giysiden kopar, yırtık daha beter olur.
[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.
17 Hiç kimse yeni şarabı eski tulumlara doldurmaz. Yoksa tulumlar patlar; hem şarap dökülür, hem de tulumlar mahvolur. Yeni şarap yeni tulumlara konur, böylece her ikisi de korunmuş olur.”
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.”
18 İsa onlara bu sözleri söylerken bir havra yöneticisi gelip O'nun önünde yere kapanarak, “Kızım az önce öldü. Ama sen gelip elini onun üzerine koyarsan, dirilecek” dedi.
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]!”
19 İsa kalkıp öğrencileriyle birlikte adamın ardından gitti.
So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
20 Tam o sırada, on iki yıldır kanaması olan bir kadın İsa'nın arkasından yetişip giysisinin eteğine dokundu.
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.
21 İçinden, “Giysisine bir dokunsam kurtulurum” diyordu.
22 İsa arkasına dönüp onu görünce, “Cesur ol, kızım! İmanın seni kurtardı” dedi. Ve kadın o anda iyileşti.
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.
23 İsa, yöneticinin evine varıp kaval çalanlarla gürültülü kalabalığı görünce, “Çekilin!” dedi. “Kız ölmedi, uyuyor.” Onlar ise kendisiyle alay ettiler.
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].
[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].
25 Kalabalık dışarı çıkarılınca İsa içeri girip kızın elini tuttu, kız ayağa kalktı.
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.
26 Bu haber bütün bölgeye yayıldı.
And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
27 İsa oradan ayrılırken iki kör, “Ey Davut Oğlu, halimize acı!” diye feryat ederek O'nun ardından gittiler.
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!”
28 İsa eve girince körler yanına geldi. Onlara, “İstediğinizi yapabileceğime inanıyor musunuz?” diye sordu. Körler, “İnanıyoruz, ya Rab!” dediler.
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!”
29 Bunun üzerine İsa körlerin gözlerine dokunarak, “İmanınıza göre olsun” dedi.
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]!”
30 Ve adamların gözleri açıldı. İsa, “Sakın kimse bunu bilmesin” diyerek onları sıkı sıkı uyardı.
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]!”
31 Onlar ise çıkıp İsa'yla ilgili haberi bütün bölgeye yaydılar.
But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
32 Adamlar çıkarken İsa'ya dilsiz bir cinli getirdiler.
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}.
33 Cin kovulunca adamın dili çözüldü. Halk hayret içinde, “İsrail'de böylesi hiç görülmemiştir” diyordu.
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!”
34 Ferisiler ise, “Cinleri, cinlerin önderinin gücüyle kovuyor” diyorlardı.
But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
35 İsa bütün kent ve köyleri dolaşarak havralarda öğretiyor, göksel egemenliğin Müjdesi'ni duyuruyor, her hastalığı, her illeti iyileştiriyordu.
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.
36 Kalabalıkları görünce onlara acıdı. Çünkü çobansız koyunlar gibi şaşkın ve perişandılar.
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].
37 O zaman İsa öğrencilerine, “Ürün bol, ama işçi az” dedi,
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].
38 “Bu nedenle ürünün sahibi Rab'be yalvarın, ürününü kaldıracak işçiler göndersin.”
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.”
