< Matthew 9 >

1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
KI itsŭppo'piu akh'iosatsĭs, ki ito'pŭmmo ki otauŭtakap'ioyim ito'to.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Ki, sat'sit, itotsĭp'iauaie nĭn'nau, ai'pakhpuyiu, ĭstokhai'tsiu ŭksĭn': Ki Jesus otsĭnĭs'saie otaumai'tŭksuaiax anĭstsiuaie ai'pakhpuyiuă, Noko'a, ŏkh'sitŭkkĭt; kitsauum'itsitappiisĭsts ĭsksĭnip'iau.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Ki, sat'sit, stsĭk'ix ai'sĭnakix ĭstai'au am'o (nin'nau) makapie'puyiu.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Ki Jesus ĭsksĭnĭm'ĕsts otŭs'tapuauĕsts ki an'iu, kumauk'itsitatopuauaisks maka'pi ku'skĕttsipŏppuauĕsts?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Tsĭm'a ksĭstspa'pi, kŏk'ansi, kit sauum' itsitappiisĭstsĭsksĭnip'iau; ki kŏk'anĭsi, Nipuat' ki auŏkat'?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Ki kŏks'ksĭniisuai Nin'a okku'yi ikŏts'ksĭnĭmĕsts sauum'itsitappiisĭsts annom' ksŏkkum (itŭm'anĭstsiuaie aipakhpuyii) Nipuat', matsit' kitŭk'sĭn, koko'ai is'taput.
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Ki itsipuau' ki oko'ai itsitap'po.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Ki akai'tappiii otsĭnĭs'sax, skai'etŭkkiau, ki a'tsĭmmĭmmiauaie Ap'ĭstotokiua annŏk' ikotsiu'ŏk matap'pix otŭmap'sĭnni.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Ki Jesus otaumatto'si, nannuyiuaie nĭn'nau, an'ĭstau Matthew, itaupii'ĭnai itai'ponitatopiaie, ki an'ĭstsiuaie Sŭppa'kĭt. Ki itsipuau' ki pokio'attsiuaie.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Ki ŭn'niitsiu Jesus otsitsĭps'taupĭssi nap'ioyĭs, otau'yĭssi, sat'sĭt akai'tappiiau publicanix ki sauum'itsitappix, itsito'taipimiau ki ipokau'pimiauax (Jesus) ki otŭs'ksĭnĭmatsax.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Ki Pharisees otsĭnno'ŏssax, itŭnĭs'tsiauax otŭsksĭnĭmats'axaie. Kitsĭn'aimoau maukopoks'oyimiax publicanix ki sauum'itsitappix?
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Jesus otokh'tsĭsaie, an'ĭstsiuax, anniks'ĭsk matap'pixk ikut'totoaxk matsĭmmŭki tappi'uaxau assokinakki, anniks'ĭsk matap'pixk ai'okhtokosixk kĭmŭk'ĭttappiiau.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Is'tapuk, ŭs'ksĭnĭk manĭstap'ipi, nitŏkh'sitsip kĭm'apiisĭnni, ki nimatŏkhsitsipats ikĭt'stŭksĭnni: tŭk'ka nimat'ŭtotopa nŏk'ainikŏttosau mokŏm'otsitappix mŏks'isauaitsitasau, sauum'itsitappix nimut'oto.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
John otŭs'ksĭnĭmatsax otsitŭm'ittotaakax, ki an'iau, Tsanĭstapiu'ats nimutsauau'yipĭnan nestŭn'an ki Pharisees, ki kĭtŭsksĭnĭmatsax kŭttaisauauyiu'axau?
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Ki Jesus anĭstsiuax kŭttaukotau'yesiuaxau man'okkemiuŏk oko'ai ĭstokos'ix, itsa'kiitawpĭssi man'okkemiuŏk? Ki annists'isk ksĭstsiku'ĭsts ak'otoiau man'okkemiuŏk otai' akitotoawpĭstskaie, ki akotŭmsauau'yiau.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Kimatanipsospuau makap'isokŏsists; annik' psak'sĭnik aksoksipinikau ki saku'apĭnikan aksistŭpaipinikau.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Matap'pix matomaisŭppasuyĭnĭmĕsts mani'ĭsts mĭn'iokkeĭsts ŭkautokeĭssuyĭnĭsts, ŏks'kakŭmipinikau ŭk'autokeĭssuyĭnĭsts, ki mĭn'iokke ak'saikĭmsskau, ki aks'iksistsuyinasiau: Manĭn'iokkeĭsts itsŭppa'suyĭnĭmiau man'otokeĭssuyĭnists ki ai'aketŏkhsiau.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Otsakiaisĭtsĭp'sattosax annists'ĭsk epo'awsĭsts, tukskŭm'ĭni eenakin'ai itoto'iĭnai ki a'tsĭmmĭmmiuaie, ki an'iu, Nitŭn'na ŭk'ainiu; puk'siput ki kotsĭs'i tsĭxen'ĭs, ki aks'ipui tappiiu.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Ki Jesus itsipuau', ki itopokom'iuaie, ki otŭsksĭnĭmatsax mat'opokomiauaie.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Ki sat'sit ake'uă, au'atŭnikau ŭsksaumawksaikĭmskau otok'tokossĭnni na'tsikoputtuyi stuyi'ĭsts, itsŭp'paatsiuaie, ki itsĭx'enĭmaie opekakŭn'ĭmaniaie:
Tŭk'ka, ĭs'tau, ksen'ĭmĭniki opekakŭn'ĭmani, nĭtak'okuttotoko.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Ki Jesus ito'tŭkkau; ki otsĭnno'ŏssaie, itŭni'u, Nitŭn'na, ŏkh'sitŭkkit, kitaumai'tŭksĭnni kumut'okuttotoko. Ki ake'uă annik' itokut'totoau.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Ki Jesus otsĭtto'taipiisi eenakin'ai oko'ai, ki otsĭnno'ŏssax au'yesĭx ki matap'pix eĭs'tsekĭniau,
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
An'ĭstsiuax, anĭs'tapaauk, ake'kuŭn matseniu'ats, ai'okau. Ki itai'ĭmiauaie.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Ki otsĭs'tŭpskoŏsax matap'pix, itsipim, ki ito'tsĭmaie, otsĭs'aie, ki ake'kuŭn itsipuau.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Ki otap'ĭstutsipi, annik' auŏsĭn'ik, motŭs'ksĭnĭpaie.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Ki Jesus otsĭstŭpaumatta'atossi, na'tokŭmi naps' tsix nĭn'ax ipokiuo'iax, ki aisokse'puyiax ki an'iau, David okkui', Kĭm'okĭnan.
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Ki otsĭtsipĭs'si nap'ioyĭs, naps'tsix itoto'yiauaie: ki Jesus an'ĭstsiuax kikŭtau'maitsipuan nŏk'okotŭnĭstutsĭs? An'ĭstsiiauaie A, Nin'a.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Itŭm'itsĭxeniuax oŏps'puauax, ki itŭni'u, kanĭsto'maitsipuai, ŭnnianĭstsĭs'.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Ki itsikau'opiii oŏps'puauax: ki Jesus saiemiuax mŏkstanĭs'tosax matap'pix.
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Ki osto'auai, otsĭs'tapusau ikŏnai'tsĭnnikoyiauax matap'pix annik'auŏsĭn'ik.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Ki otsŭksax, sat'sit ito'tsĭpiauaie kŭttaiai'puyiua sauum'itsistaaw pakto'kĭnattsiuaie.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Ki sannm'itsistaaw otsai'piksĭstŏssaie, kŭttaiai'puyină itse'puyiu: ki kŏnaitappix skai'etŭkkiau, ki an'iau, matsĭkainip'ats Israel ĭstauŏsĭn'im.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Ki Pharisees an'iau sauum'itsistaawx otsĭn'aimoauai itai'saipiksĭstsiuax sauum'itsistaawx.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Ki Jesus itap'auauŏkau kŏnau'akapioyĭsts, ki inŭk'akapioyĭsts, ki itŭs'ksĭnĭmatstokiu ota'toiapioyimoauĕsts, ki ai'semokiu nin'naiisĭnni ĭstŏkhs'itsĭniksĭnni, ki ŏk'kuttutsĭmĕsts matap'pix otokŏnai'oktokosuauĕsts ki otokŏnau'atŭnikauĕsts.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Ki otsĭnno'ŏssaie otappiisĭn'na, kaiĭm'iuaie, tŭkka ŭs'tsĭmsiu, aneto' manistau'anetopiax emŭk'ikĭnax saiits'tsĭssi ŭsks'kŭmokiuă.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Itŭman'ĭstsiuax otŭsksĭnĭmatsax, akauo'yi insĭn'manĭsts, ki ap'otŭkkix unna'tosĭmiau;
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
