Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Jisọs banyekwara nʼụgbọ mmiri nke kwọọrọ ya bịaruo nʼobodo nke ya.
2 And look, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."
Ndị ikom ụfọdụ butere ya otu nwoke akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, bụ onye dina nʼute. Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ndị ahụ, ọ gwara onye ọrịa ahụ okwu sị ya, “Nwee obi ike nwa m nwoke nʼihi na a gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile.”
3 And look, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."
Nʼoge a, ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu nke ndị Juu nọ nʼebe ahụ sịrịtara onwe ha, “Nwoke a na-ekwulu Chineke.”
4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Ma ebe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-eche nʼobi ha, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ajọ echiche nʼobi unu?
5 For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
Olee nke ka mfe ikwu? Ọ bụ ị sị, ‘A gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile,’ ka ọ bụ ị sị, ‘Bilie jee ije’?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."
Ma ka unu mata na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Bilie, chịrị ute gị laa!”
7 And he arose and departed to his house.
Nwoke ahụ biliri, chịrị ute ya laa nʼụlọ ya.
8 Now when the crowds saw it, they were afraid and glorified God who had given such authority to men.
Mgbe igwe mmadụ a hụrụ ihe ahụ mere, akpata oyi jụrụ ha nʼahụ nʼihi egwu. Ha tokwara Chineke onye na-enye ụmụ mmadụ ikike dị otu a.
9 And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.
Mgbe Jisọs si nʼebe ahụ na-aga, ọ hụrụ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Matiu ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.” Na-atụfughị oge, ọ hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
10 And it happened as he sat in the house, look, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.
Dị ka ọ nọdụrụ ala iri nri uhuruchi nʼụlọ Matiu, ọtụtụ ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie sooro ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọdụ na-eri nri.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
Mgbe ndị Farisii hụrụ nke a, ha jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Gịnị mere onye ozizi unu ji eso ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie na-eri nri?”
12 When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ nke a, Jisọs sịrị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike ka mkpa dibịa na-akpa.
13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
Ma gaanụ mụta ihe okwu a pụtara, ‘Ana m achọ ebere, ọ bụghị aja.’Nʼihi na abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie.”
14 Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"
Emesịa, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn bịara jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị mere ndị na-eso ụzọ gị adịghị ebu ọnụ dị ka anyị onwe anyị na ndị Farisii na-eme?”
15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Jisọs jụrụ ha sị, “O kwesiri ka ndị enyi onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọrọ na mwute na-erighị nri, mgbe ha na di nwanyị ọhụrụ nọ? Oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ di nwanyị ọhụrụ nʼetiti ha, mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.
16 And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
“Ọ dịghị onye na-eji akwa ọhụrụ kwachie ebe akwa ochie siri dọkaa, nʼihi na akwa ahụ ga-esi nʼebe a kwachiri ya dọwaa; mee ka ọ dị njọ karịa ka ọ dị na mbụ.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine pours out, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-etinye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ochie, nʼihi na karama ochie ahụ ga-agbawa mee ka mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ wufuo. Kama ọ dị mma itinye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ, nke ga-echekwa ha abụọ nke ọma.”
18 While he told these things to them, look, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."
Mgbe ọ nọ na-ekwu okwu, otu onyeisi ụlọ ekpere bịara kpọọ isiala nye ya, sị, “Ọ dịbeghị anya nwa m nwanyị nwụrụ. Otu ọ dị, bịa ka ị bikwasị ya aka gị. Ọ ga-ebili dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.”
19 And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
Nʼihi nke a, Jisọs soro ya gawa. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sokwara ha.
20 And look, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
Ma o nwere otu nwanyị onye ahụ na-esighị ike. Nwanyị a anọọla nʼọrịa a afọ iri na abụọ. Ọ bụkwa ọrịa oruru ọbara nke na-adịghị akwụsị akwụsị ka ọ na-arịa. Nwanyị a sitere nʼazụ bịaruo ya nso, metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka.
21 for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."
Nʼihi na o kwuolarị nʼime obi ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ nnọọ na m ga-enwe ike metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka, a ga-agwọ m.”
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
Jisọs chigharịrị lee ya anya sị ya, “Ada m, nwee obi ike, nʼihi na e sitela nʼokwukwe gị mee ka ahụ dị gị mma.” Ahụ dịkwara nwanyị ahụ mma site nʼoge ahụ.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,
Mgbe Jisọs batara nʼụlọ onyendu ụlọ ekpere ndị Juu ahụ, hụ igwe mmadụ ka ha na-atụ ụzụ na ndị na-egbu ọja.
24 he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at him.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Sinụ ebe a pụọ, nwata nwanyị a anwụghị anwụ, kama ọ nọ nʼụra.” Ma ha chịrị ya ọchị.
25 But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Ma mgbe achụpụsịrị igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ, jide nwata nwanyị ahụ nʼaka, o bilie ọtọ.
26 And the report of this went out into all that land.
Akụkọ ọrụ ebube a gbasara nʼebe niile nʼala ahụ.
27 And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David."
Mgbe Jisọs si nʼebe ahụ na-apụ, ụmụ nwoke abụọ ndị kpuru ìsì sooro ya. Ha tikuru ya mkpu na-asị, “Nwa Devid, meere anyị ebere!”
28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."
Ha sooro ya bata nʼụlọ ebe ọ nọ. Ọ jụrụ ha ajụjụ sị, “Unu kwere na m nwere ike ime ka unu hụ ụzọ?” Ha zara sị ya, “E, Onyenwe anyị, anyị kweere.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."
O metụrụ ha aka nʼanya sị ha, “Ya dịrị unu dị ka okwukwe unu si dị.”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this."
Ngwangwa ndị ìsì ahụ bidoro ịhụ ụzọ. Jisọs maara ha ọkwa sị ha “Unu agwakwala onye ọbụla.”
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Ma ha pụrụ gbasaa akụkọ a ebe niile nʼala ahụ.
32 And as they went out, look, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
Mgbe ndị a sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ, ndị ọzọ buteere ya nwoke dara ogbi, onye mmụọ ọjọọ bikwa nʼime ya.
33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds were amazed, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Mgbe ọ chụpụrụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ, onye ogbi ahụ bidoro ikwu okwu. Ibubo nwụrụ igwe mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụtụbeghị ihe dị otu a nʼala Izrel.”
34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."
Ma ndị Farisii sịrị, “Ọ bụ ekwensu, eze ndị mmụọ ọjọọ, na-enye ya ike ịchụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ.”
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.
Jisọs jegharịrị nʼobodo niile na ogbe niile dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ndị ukwu na ndị nta, na-ezi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere ndị Juu, na-ekwusakwa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ. Ọ na-agwọkwa ọrịa na nrịa nrịa niile dị iche iche.
36 But when he saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mgbe ọ hụrụ igwe mmadụ niile na-abịakwute ya, ọmịiko ha mere ya, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị a na-esogbu. Ndị na-enweghị onye inyeaka. Ndị dị ka atụrụ na-enweghị onye na-azụ ha.
37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Owuwe ihe ubi hiri nne nʼezie. Ma ndị ọrụ dị ole na ole.
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."
Ya mere, rịọọnụ Onyenwe owuwe ihe ubi ka o zite ndị ọrụ nʼowuwe ihe ubi ya.”
