Matthew 12
1 Around that time Jesus was walking through fields of grain on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so they started to pick ears of grain and eat them.
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 When the Pharisees saw this they said to Jesus, “Look at your disciples—they're doing what isn't allowed 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 Jesus told them, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his men 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 He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the sacred bread that they weren't allowed to eat since it's only for the priests.
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 Haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath but are not considered guilty?
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 However, I tell you that someone is here who is greater than the Temple!
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí ó pọ̀ ju tẹmpili lọ wà níhìn-ín.
7 If you'd known the meaning of this Scripture, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn't have condemned an innocent man.
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 Then Jesus left and went into their synagogue.
Nígbà tí Jesu kúrò níbẹ̀ ó lọ sí Sinagọgu wọn,
10 A man was there with a crippled hand. “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath?” they asked him, looking for a reason to 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 “Suppose you have a sheep and it falls into a hole in the ground on the Sabbath. Don't you grab hold of it and pull it out?” Jesus asked them.
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 “Don't you think a human being is worth much more than a sheep? So yes, you are allowed to do good on the Sabbath.”
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, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed, just as healthy as the other hand.
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 plotted how to kill Jesus.
Síbẹ̀ àwọn Farisi jáde lọ pe ìpàdé láti dìtẹ̀ mú un àti bí wọn yóò ṣe pa Jesu.
15 Knowing this, Jesus left, with large crowds following him. He healed all of them,
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 but instructed them not to tell people who he was.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé kí wọ́n kí ó má ṣe fi òun hàn.
17 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
Èyí jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ èyí tí wòlíì Isaiah sọ nípa rẹ̀ pé,
18 “This is my servant whom I've chosen, The one I love, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit on him, And he will tell the foreigners what's right.
“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 won't argue, he won't shout out, And nobody will hear his voice in the streets.
Òun kì yóò jà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò kígbe; ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò gbọ́ ohùn rẹ ní ìgboro.
20 He won't break a damaged reed, And he won't extinguish a smoking wick, Until he has proved that his judgment is right,
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 foreigners will put their hope in him.”
Ní orúkọ rẹ̀ ni gbogbo kèfèrí yóò fi ìrètí wọn sí.”
22 Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
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 All the crowds were amazed, and asked, “Could this really be the son of David?”
Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn. Wọ́n wí pé, “Èyí ha lè jẹ́ Ọmọ Dafidi bí?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of 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 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus told them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. No town or household that is divided against itself can 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 If Satan drives out Satan, then he's divided against himself—so how could 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 If I'm throwing out demons in the name of Beelzebub, in whose name are your people throwing out demons? Your own people prove you're wrong!
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'm throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to 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 Can you enter a strong man's house and take his belongings unless you tie him up first? If you do that then you can take everything in 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 Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather together with me do the opposite: they are scattering.
“Ẹni tí kò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, òun lòdì sí mi, ẹni tí kò bá mi kójọpọ̀ ń fọ́nká.
31 That's why I'm telling you that every sin and blasphemy you commit will be forgiven, except blasphemy against the Spirit which won't 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 Those who say something against the Son of man will be forgiven, but those who say something against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven, neither in this life nor the next. (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 decide that the tree is good, and its fruit is good, or decide that the tree is bad and its fruit is bad—for the tree is known by its fruit.
“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 You viper's brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
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 person brings out good from their store of good things, and an evil person brings out evil from their store of 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 I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment.
Ṣùgbọ́n, mo sọ èyí fún yín, ẹ̀yin yóò jíyìn gbogbo ìsọkúsọ yín ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́.
37 For what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you.”
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 religious teachers and Pharisees came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign.”
Nígbà náà ni, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin wí fún pé “Olùkọ́, àwa fẹ́ rí iṣẹ́ àmì kan lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀”.
39 “Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign. The only sign they will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah,” Jesus told them.
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 “In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will lie in the earth for 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 people of Nineveh will rise in the judgment together with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented in response to Jonah's message—and as you see, there's someone greater than Jonah 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 will be raised in the judgment together with this generation and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon—and as you see, there's someone 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 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders through deserted places looking for rest, and finds nowhere to stay.
“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 So it says, ‘I'll go back to the place I left,’ and when it returns it finds the place empty, all clean and tidy.
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 it goes and brings back seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and it enters and lives there. So the person ends up worse than they were at the beginning. That's the way it will be with this evil 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 speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers arrived and stood outside, wanting to talk to him.

47 Someone came and told him, “Look, your mother and brothers are outside, wanting to talk 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 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Jesus asked.
Ó sì fún ni èsì pé, “Ta ni ìyá mi? Ta ni àwọn arákùnrin mi?”
49 He pointed at his disciples, and said, “Look, they are 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 those who do the will of my heavenly Father, they are my brother, 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.”
