Matthew 9
1 Afterwards Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.
Jesus el sroang nu fin oak uh ac folokla nu in acn sel.
2 And there some people brought to him a paralysed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: “Courage, Child! Your sins are forgiven.”
Ac mwet uh use sie mwet ul nu yorol, su oanna fin mwe oan kial. Ke Jesus el liye lupan lulalfongi lalos, el fahk nu sin mwet ul sac, “Wen nutik, akkeye kom! Ma koluk lom nunak munas tari nu sum.”
3 Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves: “This man is blaspheming!”
Na kutu sin mwet luti ke Ma Sap elos sifacna nunku in elos, “Mwet se inge el kaskas enum lain God!”
4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus exclaimed: “Why do your cherish such wicked thoughts?
Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, ac el fahk nu selos, “Efu ku kowos nunak koluk?
5 Which, I ask, is the easier? — to say ‘Your sins are forgiven’? or to say ‘Get up, and walk about’?
Pia kac ma fisrasr in fahk: ‘Ma koluk lom nunak munas tari nu sum,’ ku in fahk, ‘Tuyak ac fahsr’?
6 But, that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” — then he said to the paralysed man — “Get up, take up your bed, and return to your home.”
Nga ac akpwayei nu suwos lah oasr ku lun Wen nutin Mwet in nunak munas ke ma koluk fin faclu.” Ouinge el fahk nu sin mwet ul sac, “Tuyak, srukak mwe oan kiom ac fahsr nu lohm sum!”
7 The man got up and went to his home.
Mwet sac tuyak ac som nu lohm sel.
8 When the crowd saw this, they were awe-struck, and praised God for giving such power to men.
Ke mwet uh liye elos sangeng ac kaksakin God lah El sang ku ouinge nu sin mwet uh.
9 As Jesus went along, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting in the tax-office, and said to him: “Follow me.” Matthew got up and followed him.
Jesus el som liki acn sac, ac ke el fahsr el liye sie mwet eisani tax su muta ke nien orekma lal — inel pa Matthew. Na Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fahsr tukuk.” Ac el tuyak ac fahsr tokol.
10 And, later on, when he was at table in the house, a number of tax-gatherers and outcasts came in and took their places at table with Jesus and his disciples.
Ke Jesus el muta ac mongo in lohm sel Matthew, mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk saya puspis tuku welul Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut mongo.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples: “Why does your Teacher eat in the company of tax-gatherers and outcasts?”
Kutu sin mwet Pharisee liye ac siyuk sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Efu ku mwet luti lowos uh wi kain in mwet ingan mongo?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said: “It is not those who are in health that need a doctor, but those who are ill.
Jesus el lohng ma elos fahk, ac topuk nu selos, “Mwet ku elos tia enenu mwet ono, a mwet mas mukena.
13 Go and learn what this means — ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.”
Kowos som ac suk lah mea kalmen kas se in Ma Simusla ma fahk mu, ‘Pakoten pa nga lungsik, ac tia mwe kisa.’ Nga tia tuku ke sripen mwet wo, a ke mwet koluk.”
14 Then John’s disciples came to Jesus, and asked: “Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?”
Na mwet lutlut lal John Baptais elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk, “Efu ku kut ac mwet Pharisee uh lalo in pacl pus, a mwet lutlut lom uh tiana lalo?”
15 Jesus answered: “Can the bridegroom’s friends mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be parted from them, and they will fast then.
Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu mwet ma solsol nu ke kufwa in marut uh ac asor ke pacl mukul se ac marut uh oasr inmasrlolos? Elos ac tiana asor! Tusruktu len se ac fah tuku ke mwet kacto sac ac fah itukla lukelos, na in pacl sacn elos ac fah lalo.
16 No man ever puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for such a patch tears away from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
“Wangin mwet sang ipin nuknuk sasu pinis nuknuk mah uh, tuh ipin nuknuk sasu sac fin tulakeni el ac seya nuknuk mah uh, ac mihsa sac ac yokelik liki meet ah.
17 Nor do people put new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are lost; but they put new wine into fresh skins, and so both are preserved.”
Oayapa wangin mwet okoaung wain sasu nu in pak in neinyuk wain mah, tuh mwe neinyuk mah sac ac mihsalik ac wain uh ac kahkla, ac pak sac ac musalla. Tia ouinge, a itukyang wain sasu nu ke mwe neinyuk sasu, na kewana ac fah wona.”
18 While Jesus was saying this, a President of a Synagogue came up and bowed to the ground before him. “My daughter,” he said, “Has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life.”
Ke Jesus el srakna fahk ma inge, sie mwet leum lun mwet Jew tuku nu yorol, sikukmutunte ye mutal ac fahk, “Acn nutik el tufahna misa, tusruktu fahsru ac filiya poum facl, ac el fah moulyak.”
19 So Jesus rose and followed him, and his disciples went also.
Ouinge Jesus el tuyak ac fahsr tokol, ac mwet tumal lutlut welul.
20 But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from haemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.
Sie mutan su musen srah ke lusen yac singoul luo el fahsryang tukun Jesus ac kahlye pulan nuknuk lal.
21 “If I only touch his cloak,” she said to herself, “I shall get well.”
Mutan sac el nunku in el sifacna mu, “Nga fin kahlye na pulan nuknuk lal, nga ac kwela.”
22 Turning and seeing her, Jesus said: “Courage, Daughter! your faith has delivered you.” And the woman was delivered from her malady from that very hour.
Jesus el tapulla ac liyal, na el fahk, “Acn nutik, akkeye kom! Lulalfongi lom oru kom in kwela.” In pacl sacna mutan sac kwela.
23 When Jesus reached the President’s house, seeing the flute players, and a number of people all in confusion,
Na Jesus el som nu in lohm sin mwet leum sac. Ke el liye mwet srital ke mwe on ke mas misa sac, ac mwet saya uh arulana wonak ke tung lalos,
24 he said: “Go away, the little girl is not dead; she is asleep.” They began to laugh at him;
el fahk, “Mwet nukewa illa! Tulik mutan se inge tia misa — el motul na!” Na elos nukewa mutawauk in isrunul.
25 but, when the people had been sent out, Jesus went in, and took the little girl’s hand, and she rose.
Ac ke mwet nukewa illa, Jesus el utyak nu infukil lun tulik mutan sac, sruokya paol, ac el tukakek.
26 The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
Pweng ke ma se inge sulkakinyukelik nu in polo acn sac nufon.
27 As Jesus was passing on from there, he was followed by two blind men, who kept calling out: “Take pity on us, Son of David!”
Jesus el som liki acn sac, ac ke el fahsr, mwet kun luo fahsr tokol ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David, pakomutasr!”
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Master!” they answered.
Ke Jesus el ilyak nu in lohm uh, mwet kun luo ah tuku nu yorol ac el siyuk seltal, “Komtal lulalfongi mu nga ku in akkeyekomtalla?” Na eltal fahk, “Aok!”
29 Upon that he touched their eyes, and said: “It shall be according to your faith.”
Na Jesus el kahlye mutaltal ac fahk, “Lela in orek nu sumtal oana lulalfongi lomtal an!”
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly cautioned them. “See that no one knows of it,” he said.
Na ikakla mutaltal eltal ku in liye. Na Jesus el arulana wili nu seltal ac fahk, “Nimet komtal fahk nu sin kutena mwet!”
31 But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
Tuh eltal som ac fahkelik pweng kacl Jesus inge in polo acn sac nufon.
32 Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;
Ke mwet luo ah som lukel Jesus, oasr pac kutu mwet sifilpa tuku nu yorol ac use sie mukul su tia ku in kaskas, mweyen oasr ngun fohkfok in el.
33 and, as soon as the demon had been driven out, the dumb man spoke. The people were astonished at this, and exclaimed: “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Tusruk ke pacl se ma ngun fohkfok sac lisyukla liki mwet sac, mwet sac mutawauk in kaskas, ac mwet uh arulana fwefela kac. Elos fahk, “Kut soenna liye in orek ouinge in acn Israel meet.”
34 But the Pharisees said: “He drives out the demons by the help of the chief of the demons.”
Tusruk mwet Pharisee elos fahk, “Leum lun ngun fohkfok uh pa sang kain in ku inge nu sel, pwanang el ku in lusla ngun fohkfok uh.”
35 Jesus went round all the towns and the villages, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
Jesus el som ac forfor in siti nukewa in polo acn sac. El luti in iwen lolngok uh, ac fahkak Pweng Wo ke Tokosrai uh, ac akkeyala kain in mas ac munas nukewa lun mwet uh.
36 But, when he saw the crowds, his heart was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and harassed, ‘like sheep without a shepherd’;
Ke el liye un mwet puspis el arulana pakomutalos, mweyen elos fosrnga ac tia ku in kasrelos sifacna, oana sheep su wangin mwet sropo la.
37 and he said to his disciples: “The harvest is abundant, but the labourers are few.
Ke ma inge el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Pwaye kosrani uh yohk, a pu mwet in orekma.
38 Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.”
Kowos pre nu sin leum lun kosrani, tuh elan supwala mwet in kosrani ima lal.”
