Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, 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 And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
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 was hungry, and they that were with him:
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 into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that 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 ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
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 tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ju tẹmpili lọ wà níhìn-ín.
7 And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
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 even of the sabbath.
Nítorí pé Ọmọ Ènìyàn jẹ́ Olúwa ọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
9 And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
Nígbà tí Jesu kúrò níbẹ̀ ó lọ sí Sinagọgu wọn,
10 And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal 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 But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?
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 is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed 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 saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as 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 And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how 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 knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed 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 that they should not make him known.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé kí wọ́n kí ó má ṣe fi òun hàn.
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying:
Èyí jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èyí tí wòlíì Isaiah sọ nípa rẹ̀ pé,
18 Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment 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, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Òun kì yóò jà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò kígbe; ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò gbọ́ ohùn rẹ ní ìgboro.
20 The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory.
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 the Gentiles shall hope.
Ní orúkọ rẹ̀ ni gbogbo kèfèrí yóò fi ìrètí wọn sí.”
22 Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he 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 multitudes 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 hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
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 And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not 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 by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore 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 by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God 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 into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle 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 gathereth not with me, scattereth.
“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: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
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 whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world 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 evil, and its fruit evil. 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 O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
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 A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth 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 unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.
Ṣùgbọ́n, mo sọ èyí fún yín, ẹ̀yin yóò jíyìn gbogbo ìsọkúsọ yín ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt 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 him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.
Nígbà náà ni, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin wí fún pé “Olùkọ́, àwa fẹ́ rí iṣẹ́ àmì kan lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀”.
39 Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas 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 Jonas was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
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 The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas 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 judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon 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 And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth 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 saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
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 goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to 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 As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking 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 one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee.
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 answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
Ó sì fún ni èsì pé, “Ta ni ìyá mi? Ta ni àwọn arákùnrin mi?”
49 And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
Ó nawọ́ sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Wò ó, ìyá mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi ni wọ̀nyí.”
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he 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.”
