Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
Jesus el sroang nu fin oak uh ac folokla nu in acn sel.
2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
Ac mwet uh use sie mwet ul nu yorol, su oanna fin mwe oan kial. Ke Jesus el liye lupan lulalfongi lalos, el fahk nu sin mwet ul sac, “Wen nutik, akkeye kom! Ma koluk lom nunak munas tari nu sum.”
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
Na kutu sin mwet luti ke Ma Sap elos sifacna nunku in elos, “Mwet se inge el kaskas enum lain God!”
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, ac el fahk nu selos, “Efu ku kowos nunak koluk?
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Pia kac ma fisrasr in fahk: ‘Ma koluk lom nunak munas tari nu sum,’ ku in fahk, ‘Tuyak ac fahsr’?
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
Nga ac akpwayei nu suwos lah oasr ku lun Wen nutin Mwet in nunak munas ke ma koluk fin faclu.” Ouinge el fahk nu sin mwet ul sac, “Tuyak, srukak mwe oan kiom ac fahsr nu lohm sum!”
7 And the man got up and went home.
Mwet sac tuyak ac som nu lohm sel.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Ke mwet uh liye elos sangeng ac kaksakin God lah El sang ku ouinge nu sin mwet uh.
9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
Jesus el som liki acn sac, ac ke el fahsr el liye sie mwet eisani tax su muta ke nien orekma lal — inel pa Matthew. Na Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fahsr tukuk.” Ac el tuyak ac fahsr tokol.
10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
Ke Jesus el muta ac mongo in lohm sel Matthew, mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk saya puspis tuku welul Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut mongo.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Kutu sin mwet Pharisee liye ac siyuk sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Efu ku mwet luti lowos uh wi kain in mwet ingan mongo?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Jesus el lohng ma elos fahk, ac topuk nu selos, “Mwet ku elos tia enenu mwet ono, a mwet mas mukena.
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Kowos som ac suk lah mea kalmen kas se in Ma Simusla ma fahk mu, ‘Pakoten pa nga lungsik, ac tia mwe kisa.’ Nga tia tuku ke sripen mwet wo, a ke mwet koluk.”
14 At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
Na mwet lutlut lal John Baptais elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk, “Efu ku kut ac mwet Pharisee uh lalo in pacl pus, a mwet lutlut lom uh tiana lalo?”
15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu mwet ma solsol nu ke kufwa in marut uh ac asor ke pacl mukul se ac marut uh oasr inmasrlolos? Elos ac tiana asor! Tusruktu len se ac fah tuku ke mwet kacto sac ac fah itukla lukelos, na in pacl sacn elos ac fah lalo.
16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
“Wangin mwet sang ipin nuknuk sasu pinis nuknuk mah uh, tuh ipin nuknuk sasu sac fin tulakeni el ac seya nuknuk mah uh, ac mihsa sac ac yokelik liki meet ah.
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Oayapa wangin mwet okoaung wain sasu nu in pak in neinyuk wain mah, tuh mwe neinyuk mah sac ac mihsalik ac wain uh ac kahkla, ac pak sac ac musalla. Tia ouinge, a itukyang wain sasu nu ke mwe neinyuk sasu, na kewana ac fah wona.”
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
Ke Jesus el srakna fahk ma inge, sie mwet leum lun mwet Jew tuku nu yorol, sikukmutunte ye mutal ac fahk, “Acn nutik el tufahna misa, tusruktu fahsru ac filiya poum facl, ac el fah moulyak.”
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
Ouinge Jesus el tuyak ac fahsr tokol, ac mwet tumal lutlut welul.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
Sie mutan su musen srah ke lusen yac singoul luo el fahsryang tukun Jesus ac kahlye pulan nuknuk lal.
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
Mutan sac el nunku in el sifacna mu, “Nga fin kahlye na pulan nuknuk lal, nga ac kwela.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
Jesus el tapulla ac liyal, na el fahk, “Acn nutik, akkeye kom! Lulalfongi lom oru kom in kwela.” In pacl sacna mutan sac kwela.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
Na Jesus el som nu in lohm sin mwet leum sac. Ke el liye mwet srital ke mwe on ke mas misa sac, ac mwet saya uh arulana wonak ke tung lalos,
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
el fahk, “Mwet nukewa illa! Tulik mutan se inge tia misa — el motul na!” Na elos nukewa mutawauk in isrunul.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Ac ke mwet nukewa illa, Jesus el utyak nu infukil lun tulik mutan sac, sruokya paol, ac el tukakek.
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
Pweng ke ma se inge sulkakinyukelik nu in polo acn sac nufon.
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Jesus el som liki acn sac, ac ke el fahsr, mwet kun luo fahsr tokol ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David, pakomutasr!”
28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
Ke Jesus el ilyak nu in lohm uh, mwet kun luo ah tuku nu yorol ac el siyuk seltal, “Komtal lulalfongi mu nga ku in akkeyekomtalla?” Na eltal fahk, “Aok!”
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
Na Jesus el kahlye mutaltal ac fahk, “Lela in orek nu sumtal oana lulalfongi lomtal an!”
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
Na ikakla mutaltal eltal ku in liye. Na Jesus el arulana wili nu seltal ac fahk, “Nimet komtal fahk nu sin kutena mwet!”
31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
Tuh eltal som ac fahkelik pweng kacl Jesus inge in polo acn sac nufon.
32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
Ke mwet luo ah som lukel Jesus, oasr pac kutu mwet sifilpa tuku nu yorol ac use sie mukul su tia ku in kaskas, mweyen oasr ngun fohkfok in el.
33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Tusruk ke pacl se ma ngun fohkfok sac lisyukla liki mwet sac, mwet sac mutawauk in kaskas, ac mwet uh arulana fwefela kac. Elos fahk, “Kut soenna liye in orek ouinge in acn Israel meet.”
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
Tusruk mwet Pharisee elos fahk, “Leum lun ngun fohkfok uh pa sang kain in ku inge nu sel, pwanang el ku in lusla ngun fohkfok uh.”
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
Jesus el som ac forfor in siti nukewa in polo acn sac. El luti in iwen lolngok uh, ac fahkak Pweng Wo ke Tokosrai uh, ac akkeyala kain in mas ac munas nukewa lun mwet uh.
36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Ke el liye un mwet puspis el arulana pakomutalos, mweyen elos fosrnga ac tia ku in kasrelos sifacna, oana sheep su wangin mwet sropo la.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ke ma inge el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Pwaye kosrani uh yohk, a pu mwet in orekma.
38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
Kowos pre nu sin leum lun kosrani, tuh elan supwala mwet in kosrani ima lal.”
