Matiyu 9
1 Yesu a ri ni ghuu nda rugran hi ni gbu ma.
And, entering into a boat, he crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Mena, ba nji indi ri wa a soo kpa'a nda kru ni tabli. Wa Yesu atoh kiekle yo suron mba, a tre ni ndi u soo kpa'a, “Vuvren ngri. ba wru latre me hlega niwu”.
And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, —Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins.
3 U bi nha bari ba tre ni kpamba, “Iguyi ni latre”
And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, —This man, speaketh profanely!
4 U Yesu wa a toh imre sron mbaa' a tre “Bi ta' meme mre ngye nimi sron mbi?
And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, —To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts?
5 Arime na he ni dii na ndu ba hla Ba wru latre me hlega 'Ka ndu bahla' wlunde ndi zren?
For which is easier—To say, Forgiven are thy sins, —or to say, Rise and be walking!
6 To ni ndu yi toh ndi ivren indi a he ni ngbengble u wru latre u ngbugblu hle, A tre ni indi u soo kpaa', Wlunde ndi ban bubu u kru me ndi hi koh
But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, —Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house.
7 India ka wlunde nda hi ni koh.
And, rising, he departed unto his house.
8 Wa gbugbu ndi ba toh a he toyi, ma manji ma wakran, nda gbyre Irji san wa anno indi bii ngbengblen yi.
Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.
9 Yesu sihi nda ka toh ndi ri ni ko shishi wa ba yowu ndi Matiwu a son nitra u kpa ban. A hla wu, “Hume” A wlu huu.
And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him, —Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.
10 Yesu a kuson nda si'rli birli u bi kpa ban nibi latre gbugbu mbawu baye kuson nda rli bi' ni ba Yesu ni bi hu'a.
And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that lo! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Wa Farisawa ba ba toh nayi, ba mye bihua, “Ani tu' ngye mba tiekoh mbi si rli ni bi kpa ban u bi latre?
And, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples, —Wherefore, with tax-collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat?
12 Yesu ka wo ba' nda tre, “e bi sikpa bana wa bi den na, ahi bi lilo mu.
And, he, hearing it, said, —No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.
13 To bika mla toh nayi rli, 'Ime mi wa wruhle ana indu ni mu na. Mina ye ni tu bi he tsra tsra ana miye ni tu bi latre.
But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, —Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
14 U bi hu Yahaya baye niwu nda tre kieta ni ba Farisawa kie vu nyu u bi hua ba ba taka ngye rli nda na tie na?
Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, —Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
15 Yesu a hla bawu, “Bi tie ndu nitra u logran baki ni kuklu nyu u indi u gran rli he ni ba? E, inton niye wa ba ban indi u logran niba. Nikiyi mba ba vunyu.
And Jesus said unto them, —Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast.
16 Indi wa ani fon pli sama kanha ni cice nklon na tie to kie ni yba nklon zan u mumla
Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, —for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made.
17 Indi bana sru imma sa u inabi nimi mbu ntan kmo mana. Bata tie toki, intan aniyra tie meme nda ju'mma hlega. Toyi, ba sru mma sa' u inabi nimi mbuntan sa may tie towa na ndu ba yra tu hamba wuna”
Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, —but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.
18 Yesu si tre ni ba u ndi ri wa ani mnkon ndi ba aye kuqu niwu. A tre, “Vrenwamu quu zazanyi, yeme ndi sawo wu ni ndu wlunde”.
While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a [certain] ruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, —My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.
19 U Yesu Wlunde hu hi ni mrli koh ma ba ngame.
And Jesus, arising, was following him, also his disciples.
20 Uwa ri ingarli wa azi juju tie se wlon don ha, a bleye konkon Yesu, nda kpyre nyu nklonma.
And lo! a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle.
21 “A tre ni sronma, Mita kpyre nklon ma mi fe si.
For she kept saying within herself, —If only I touch his mantle, I shall be made well!
22 Yesu a k'maya nda toh wu nda tre, “Vrenwa mu, vu sron. Kikle yo sron me nnowu si”. Ni nton kima me afe si.
And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, —Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour.
23 Wa Yesu ari ni koh ninkon ndi mba, nda toh bi vrli ngba ni j'bu ndi baki hanton.
And, Jesus, coming, into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude in confusion, was saying:
24 A tre “Hiyi, e vrenwa na quu na, asi kru na “U baka zanwu u kpa tsri.
Give place! for the maiden died not, but is sleeping. And they began to deride him.
25 Wa ba ndu ndi barjuhi raa', a rihi mitraa nda vu wo vren wa nji, u vrenwa wlunde.
But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, —and the maiden arose.
26 Itre yi ka yan shu ni nh'ma kokii.
And forth went this report, into the whole of that land.
27 Yesu rji ki zren y'ba sihi, u bi fyen harli bari baka hu, nda kla nglo nyu nda nitre,”Ivren Doda, to yah mbu ndi zota”.
And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying, —Have mercy on us, O Son of David!
28 Yesu a ri hi ni koh rie u bi fyen ba baka wawu hi. Yesu hla bamu, “Bi kpay'me ndi mihe ngbengble utie tomba?” U baka kpay'me, 'e' Baci”.
And, when he entered the house, the blind men came unto him, —and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord!
29 U Yesu ka kpyre shishi mba nda tre, “Ndu he yiwu na wa bi yo sron mbi a.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
30 U shishi mba baka bwu'. Yesu a mha ba nda tre, “Na ndu ndio wowa na.”
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!
31 Ma'memu, bahi nda ka bla tre kangon nklan kima.
They, however, going forth, made him known throughout the whole of that land.
32 Wa bi fyen ba ba hia, baka nji indi u con l'me u me'me' brji yeni Yesu.
And, as, they, were going forth, lo! there was brought to him, a dumb man, demonized.
33 Wa a cu me'me' brji rju ni niwu a, indi u con l'mea katre. J'bu ndii baka manji ma wakran, ndatre, “kae, bii kpye yi bana toh wu ni Israila na!”
And, the demon being cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled, saying, —Never, was it seen thus, in Israel.
34 U fansawa ba baka tre, “E a ni rju me'me' brji ba ni ngbenglen u chu bi brjii.”
[But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.]
35 Yesu a zren kagon gbu bi rlig ra ni bi tsitsa ba wawuu. Azi tsro tre Rji ni tra Rji, nda zi bla lan zizi u mwkai nda den bi kru kpa ni lilo bla wo.
And Jesus was going round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity.
36 Wa a toh kpentren ndii ba, a ka tie wie me ni tie yah' ni qungble mba. Bana he na nta'ma wa ba hama ni ndii u k'maba.
But, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd.
37 A hla ni mrli koh ma, birli hi gbugbu, wa, u bi ndu ba ba fyi meyi.
Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few;
38 Ahe nayi bika bre Baci u birli gbagbla me ni ndu tru bindu ba hi.
Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, —That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.
