Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
Jesu bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀, ó sì rékọjá odò lọ sí ìlú abínibí rẹ̀,
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.”
àwọn ọkùnrin kan gbé arọ kan tọ̀ ọ́ wá lórí àkéte rẹ̀. Nígbà tí Jesu rí ìgbàgbọ́ wọn, ó wí fún arọ náà pé, “Ọmọ tújúká, a dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ jì ọ́.”
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
Nígbà yìí ni àwọn olùkọ́ òfin wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì!”
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
Jesu sì mọ̀ èrò inú wọn, ó wí pé, “Nítorí kín ni ẹ̀yin ṣe ń ro búburú nínú yín?
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Èwo ni ó rọrùn jù: láti wí pé, ‘A dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ jì ọ,’ tàbí wí pé, ‘Dìde, kí o sì máa rìn?’
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè mọ̀ pé Ọmọ Ènìyàn ní agbára ní ayé láti dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jì ni.” Ó sì wí fún arọ náà pé, “Dìde, sì gbé àkéte rẹ, kí o sì máa lọ ilé rẹ.”
7 And the man got up and went home.
Ọkùnrin náà sì dìde, ó sì lọ ilé rẹ̀.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Nígbà tí ìjọ ènìyàn rí í ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, wọ́n yin Ọlọ́run lógo, ti ó fi irú agbára báyìí fún ènìyàn.
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.
Bí Jesu sì ti ń rékọjá láti ibẹ̀ lọ, o rí ọkùnrin kan ti à ń pè ní Matiu, ó jókòó ní ibùdó àwọn agbowó òde, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn,” Matiu sì dìde, ó ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.
10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
Ó sì ṣe, bí Jesu tí jókòó ti ó ń jẹun nínú ilé Matiu, sì kíyèsi i, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn agbowó òde àti ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ wá, wọ́n sì bá a jẹun pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Nígbà tí àwọn Farisi sì rí i, wọ́n wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí olùkọ́ yín fi ń bá àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ jẹun pọ̀?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Jesu gbọ́ èyí, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Àwọn tí ara wọ́n le kò wá oníṣègùn bí kò ṣe àwọn tí ara wọn kò dá.
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lọ kọ́ ohun ti èyí túmọ̀ sí: ‘Àánú ni èmi ń fẹ́, kì í ṣe ẹbọ,’ nítorí èmi kò wá láti pe àwọn olódodo, bí kò ṣe àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.”
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?”
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti béèrè wí pé, “Èéṣe tí àwa àti àwọn Farisi fi ń gbààwẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ kò gbààwẹ̀?”
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.
Jesu sì dáhùn pé, “Àwọn ọmọ ilé ìyàwó ha le máa ṣọ̀fọ̀, nígbà tí ọkọ ìyàwó ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ wọn? Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ nígbà tí a ó gba ọkọ ìyàwó lọ́wọ́ wọn; nígbà náà ni wọn yóò gbààwẹ̀.
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.
“Kò sí ẹni tí ń fi ìrépé aṣọ tuntun lẹ ògbólógbòó ẹ̀wù; nítorí èyí tí a fi lẹ̀ ẹ́ yóò ya ní ojú lílẹ̀, aṣọ náà yóò sì ya púpọ̀ sì i ju ti ìṣáájú lọ.
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.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹni tí fi ọtí tuntun sínú ògbólógbòó ìgò-awọ; bí a bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ìgò-awọ yóò bẹ́, ọtí á sì tú jáde, ìgò-awọ á sì ṣègbé. Ṣùgbọ́n ọtí tuntun ni wọn í fi sínú ìgò-awọ tuntun àwọn méjèèjì a sì ṣe déédé.”
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.”
Bí ó ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún wọn, kíyèsi i, ìjòyè kan tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ wí pé, “Ọmọbìnrin mi kú nísinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n wá fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé e, òun yóò sì yè.”
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
Jesu dìde ó sì bá a lọ àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
Sì kíyèsi i, obìnrin kan ti ó ní ìsun ẹ̀jẹ̀ ní ọdún méjìlá, ó wá lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, ó fi ọwọ́ kan ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀.
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
Nítorí ó wí nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Bí mo bá sá à le fi ọwọ́ kan ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀, ara mi yóò dá.”
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.
Nígbà tí Jesu sì yí ara rẹ̀ padà tí ó rí i, ó wí pé, “Ọmọbìnrin, tújúká, ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ mú ọ láradà.” A sì mú obìnrin náà láradá ni wákàtí kan náà.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
Nígbà tí Jesu sí i dé ilé ìjòyè náà, ó bá àwọn afunfèrè àti ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ó ń pariwo.
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa lọ; nítorí ọmọbìnrin náà kò kú, sísùn ni ó sùn.” Wọ́n sì fi i rín ẹ̀rín ẹlẹ́yà.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a ti àwọn ènìyàn jáde, ó wọ ilé, ó sì fà ọmọbìnrin náà ní ọwọ́ sókè; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọmọbìnrin náà sì dìde.
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
Òkìkí èyí sì kàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Nígbà tí Jesu sì jáde níbẹ̀, àwọn ọkùnrin afọ́jú méjì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, wọ́n ń kígbe sókè wí pé, “Ṣàánú fún wa, ìwọ ọmọ Dafidi.”
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.
Nígbà tí ó sì wọ̀ ilé, àwọn afọ́jú náà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, Jesu bi wọ́n pé, “Ẹ̀yin gbàgbọ́ pé mo le ṣe èyí?” Wọn sì wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa, ìwọ lè ṣe é.”
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
Ó sì fi ọwọ́ bà wọ́n ní ojú, ó wí pé, “Kí ó rí fún yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbàgbọ́ yín.”
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
Ojú wọn sì là; Jesu sì kìlọ̀ fún wọn gidigidi, wí pé, “Kíyèsi i, kí ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnìkan kí ó mọ̀ nípa èyí.”
31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n lọ, wọ́n ròyìn rẹ̀ yí gbogbo ìlú náà ká.
32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
Bí wọ́n tí ń jáde lọ, wò ó wọ́n mú ọkùnrin odi kan tí ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù tọ Jesu wá.
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!”
Nígbà tí a lé ẹ̀mí èṣù náà jáde, ọkùnrin tí ó ya odi sì fọhùn. Ẹnu sì ya àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n wí pé, “A kò rí irú èyí rí ní Israẹli.”
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Farisi wí pé, “Agbára olórí àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù ni ó fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.”
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.
Jesu sì rìn yí gbogbo ìlú ńlá àti ìletò ká, ó ń kọ́ni nínú Sinagọgu wọn, ó sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere ìjọba ọrun, ó sì ń ṣe ìwòsàn ààrùn àti gbogbo àìsàn ní ara àwọn ènìyàn.
36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, àánú wọn ṣe é, nítorí àárẹ̀ mú wọn, wọn kò sì rí ìrànlọ́wọ́, bí àwọn àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni ìkórè pọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n àwọn alágbàṣe kò tó nǹkan.
38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbàdúrà sí Olúwa ìkórè kí ó rán àwọn alágbàṣe sínú ìkórè rẹ̀.”
