Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus was going, on the Sabbath, through the fields of grain; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pull the ears of grain, and to eat.
Ní àkókò náà ni Jesu ń la àárín oko ọkà kan lọ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ebi sì ń pa àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí i ya orí ọkà, wọ́n sì ń jẹ ẹ́.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him: Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
Nígbà tí àwọn Farisi rí èyí. Wọ́n wí fún pé, “Wò ó! Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ ń ṣe ohun tí kò bá òfin mu ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
3 But he said to them: Have you not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry?
Jesu dáhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò ha ka ohun tí Dafidi ṣe nígbà tí ebi ń pa á àti àwọn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
4 how he entered the house of God, and ate the loaves of the presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but for the priests only?
Ó wọ inú ilé Ọlọ́run, òun àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jẹ àkàrà tí a yà sọ́tọ̀, èyí tí kò yẹ fún wọn láti jẹ, bí kò ṣe fún àwọn àlùfáà nìkan.
5 Or, have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
Tàbí ẹ̀yin kò ti kà á nínú òfin pé ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, àwọn àlùfáà tí ó wà ní tẹmpili ń ba ọjọ́ ìsinmi jẹ́ tí wọ́n sì wà láìjẹ̀bi.
6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ju tẹmpili lọ wà níhìn-ín.
7 But if you had known what this means―I desire mercy, and not sacrifice―you would not have condemned the blameless.
Bí ó bá jẹ́ pé ẹ mọ ìtumọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ‘Àánú ni èmi ń fẹ́ kì í ṣe ẹbọ,’ ẹ̀yin kì bá tí dá aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ lẹ́bi.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Nítorí pé Ọmọ Ènìyàn jẹ́ Olúwa ọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
9 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue.
Nígbà tí Jesu kúrò níbẹ̀ ó lọ sí Sinagọgu wọn,
10 And behold, a man was there that had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath-days? that they might accuse him.
ọkùnrin kan tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan rọ wà níbẹ̀. Wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti fi ẹ̀sùn kan Jesu, wọ́n béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti mú ènìyàn láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?”
11 And he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the Sabbath-day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out?
Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Bí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé bí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bá ní àgùntàn kan ṣoṣo, tí ó sì bọ́ sínú kòtò ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ǹjẹ́ kì yóò dìímú, kí ó sì fà á jáde.
12 How much better, then, is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath-days.
Ǹjẹ́ mélòó mélòó ní ènìyàn ní iye lórí ju àgùntàn kan lọ! Nítorí náà ó yẹ láti ṣe rere ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
13 Then he said to the man: Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored to soundness, like the other.
Nígbà náà, ó sì wí fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Na ọwọ́ rẹ,” bí òun sì ti nà án, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì bọ̀ sí ipò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọwọ́ èkejì.
14 But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, that they might destroy him.
Síbẹ̀ àwọn Farisi jáde lọ pe ìpàdé láti dìtẹ̀ mú un àti bí wọn yóò ṣe pa Jesu.
15 But Jesus perceived it, and withdrew from that place. And many multitudes followed him, and he cured them all.
Nígbà tí Jesu sì mọ̀, ó yẹra kúrò níbẹ̀. Ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn sì ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, ó sì mú gbogbo àwọn aláìsàn láradá.
16 And he charged them not to make him known;
Ṣùgbọ́n ó kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé kí wọ́n kí ó má ṣe fi òun hàn.
17 that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
Èyí jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èyí tí wòlíì Isaiah sọ nípa rẹ̀ pé,
18 Be hold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall declare law to the Gentiles.
“Ẹ wo ìránṣẹ́ mi ẹni tí mo yàn. Àyànfẹ́ mi ni ẹni tí inú mi dùn sí gidigidi; èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí mi fún un. Òun yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn kèfèrí.
19 He shall not contend, nor cry out; nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
Òun kì yóò jà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò kígbe; ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò gbọ́ ohùn rẹ ní ìgboro.
20 A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoking wick he shall not extinguish, till he shall send forth his law for conquest.
Koríko odò títẹ̀ kan ni òun kì yóò fọ́, àti òwú-fìtílà tí ń jó tan an lọ lòun kì yóò fẹ́ pa. Títí yóò fi mú ìdájọ́ dé ìṣẹ́gun.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Ní orúkọ rẹ̀ ni gbogbo kèfèrí yóò fi ìrètí wọn sí.”
22 Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb: and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n mú ọkùnrin kan tó ni ẹ̀mí èṣù tọ̀ ọ́ wá, tí ó afọ́jú, tí ó tún ya odi. Jesu sì mú un láradá kí ó le sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ríran.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn. Wọ́n wí pé, “Èyí ha lè jẹ́ Ọmọ Dafidi bí?”
24 But the Pharisees, when they heard it, said: This man does not cast out the demons, unless by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Farisi gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n wí pé, “Nípa Beelsebulu nìkan, tí í ṣe ọba ẹ̀mí èṣù ni ọkùnrin yìí fi lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.”
25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And no city or house divided against itself shall stand.
Jesu tí ó mọ èrò wọn, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ìjọbakíjọba tí ó bá yapa sí ara rẹ̀ yóò parun, ìlúkílùú tàbí ilékílé tí ó bá yapa sí ara rẹ̀ kì yóò dúró.
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Bí èṣù bá sì ń lé èṣù jáde, a jẹ́ wí pé, ó ń yapa sí ara rẹ̀. Ìjọba rẹ yóò ha ṣe le dúró?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason, they shall be your judges.
Àti pé, bi èmi bá ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde nípa Beelsebulu, nípa ta ni àwọn ènìyàn yín fi ń lé wọn jáde? Nítorí náà ni wọn yóò ṣe má ṣe ìdájọ́ yín.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already come upon you.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá jẹ́ pé nípa Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, a jẹ́ pé ìjọba Ọlọ́run ti dé bá yín.
29 Or, how can any one enter the house of the strong man and spoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.
“Tàbí, báwo ni ẹnikẹ́ni ṣe lè wọ ilé alágbára lọ kí ó sì kó ẹrù rẹ̀, bí kò ṣe pé ó kọ́kọ́ di alágbára náà? Nígbà náà ni ó tó lè kó ẹrù rẹ̀ lọ.
30 He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathers not with me, scatters.
“Ẹni tí kò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, òun lòdì sí mi, ẹni tí kò bá mi kójọpọ̀ ń fọ́nká.
31 Therefore I say to you, That every sin and impious speech shad be forgiven men: but the impious speech against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men.
Nítorí èyí, mo wí fún yín, gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ọ̀rọ̀-òdì ni a yóò dárí rẹ̀ jí ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n ìsọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ kò ní ìdáríjì.
32 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in the present age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọmọ Ènìyàn, a ó dáríjì í, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, a kì yóò dáríjì í, ìbá à ṣe ní ayé yìí tàbí ní ayé tí ń bọ̀. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree unsound, and its fruit unsound. For by the fruit the tree is known.
“E sọ igi di rere, èso rẹ̀ a sì di rere tàbí kí ẹ sọ igi di búburú, èso rẹ a sì di búburú, nítorí nípa èso igi ni a ó fi mọ̀ igi.
34 Generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ paramọ́lẹ̀, báwo ni ẹ̀yin tí ẹ jẹ búburú ṣe lè sọ̀rọ̀ rere? Ọkàn ènìyàn ni ó ń darí irú ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó lè jáde lẹ́nu rẹ̀.
35 The good man, out of his good treasury, brings forth good things; and the evil man, out of his evil treasury, brings forth evil things.
Ẹni rere láti inú yàrá ìṣúra rere ọkàn rẹ̀ ní mú ohun rere jáde wá, àti ẹni búburú láti inú ìṣúra búburú ni; mu ohun búburú jáde wá.
36 But I say to you, That for every idle word which men speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment.
Ṣùgbọ́n, mo sọ èyí fún yín, ẹ̀yin yóò jíyìn gbogbo ìsọkúsọ yín ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
Nítorí nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu yín ni a fi dá yin láre, nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu yín sì ni a ó fi dá yin lẹ́bi.”
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered and said: Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.
Nígbà náà ni, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin wí fún pé “Olùkọ́, àwa fẹ́ rí iṣẹ́ àmì kan lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀”.
39 But he answered and said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Ìran búburú àti ìran panṣágà ń béèrè àmì; ṣùgbọ́n kò sí àmì tí a ó fi fún un, bí kò ṣe àmì Jona wòlíì.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Bí Jona ti gbé inú ẹja ńlá fún ọ̀sán mẹ́ta àti òru mẹ́ta, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni ẹ̀mí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò gbé ní inú ilẹ̀ fún ọ̀sán mẹ́ta àti òru mẹ́ta.
41 Tho men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it; for they repented in accordance with the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
Àwọn ará Ninefe yóò dìde pẹ̀lú ìran yìí ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́. Wọn yóò sì dá a lẹ́bi. Nítorí pé wọ́n ronúpìwàdà nípa ìwàásù Jona. Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Jona wà níhìn-ín yìí.
42 The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the most distant parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
Ọbabìnrin gúúsù yóò sì dìde ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ sí ìran yìí yóò sì dá a lẹ́bi; nítorí tí ó wá láti ilẹ̀ ìkangun ayé láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọgbọ́n láti ẹnu Solomoni. Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Solomoni ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí.
43 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places seeking rest, and finds none.
“Nígbà tí ẹ̀mí búburú kan bá jáde lára ènìyàn, a máa rìn ní ibi gbígbẹ́, a máa wá ibi ìsinmi, kò sì ní rí i.
44 Then he says: I will return to my house, out of which I came. And he comes and finds it empty, swept, and set in order.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀mí náà yóò wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò padà sí ara ọkùnrin tí èmí ti wá.’ Bí ó bá sì padà, tí ó sì bá ọkàn ọkùnrin náà ni òfìfo, a gbà á mọ́, a sì ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be with this wicked generation.
Nígbà náà ni yóò lọ, yóò sì mú ẹ̀mí méje mìíràn pẹ̀lú ara rẹ̀, tí ó burú ju òun fúnra rẹ̀ lọ. Gbogbo wọn yóò sì wá sí inú rẹ̀, wọn yóò máa gbé ibẹ̀. Ìgbẹ̀yìn ọkùnrin náà a sì burú ju ìṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí fún ìran búburú yìí pẹ̀lú.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak to him.
Nígbà tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, wò ó, ìyá rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ dúró lóde, wọ́n fẹ́ bá a sọ̀rọ̀.
47 And some one said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak to you.
Nígbà náà ni ẹnìkan wí fún un pé, “Ìyá rẹ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ ń dúró dè ọ́ lóde wọ́n ń fẹ́ bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀.”
48 But he answered and said to him that told him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?
Ó sì fún ni èsì pé, “Ta ni ìyá mi? Ta ni àwọn arákùnrin mi?”
49 And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said: Behold my mother and my brothers.
Ó nawọ́ sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Wò ó, ìyá mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi ni wọ̀nyí.”
50 For whoever will do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nítorí náà, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe ìfẹ́ Baba mi tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, ni arákùnrin mi àti arábìnrin mi àti ìyá mi.”
