Mateo 10
1 Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ƒo ƒu, eye wòna ŋusẽ wo be woanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le amewo me, eye woada dɔ sia dɔ ƒomevi.
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power to expel unclean spirits, and to cure diseases and maladies of every kind.
2 Eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Simɔn (ame si woyɔna hã be Petro) kple nɔvia Andrea, Yakobo kple nɔvia Yohanes, ame siwo nye Zebedeo ƒe viwo,
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: The first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Filipo kple Bartolomeo; Toma kple Mateo, si nye nudzɔla; Yakobo, Alfeo ƒe vi, kple Tadeo;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Simɔn, ame si nye Zelotetɔ kple Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si va de Yesu asi.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.
5 Yesu dɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo kple gbedeasi sia be, “Migayi Trɔ̃subɔlawo kple Samariatɔwo gbɔ o,
These twelve Jesus commissioned, instructing them, and saying: Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a Samaritan city;
6 ke boŋ miyi Israelvi siwo nye Mawu ƒe alẽ bubuwo la ko gbɔ.
but go directly to the lost sheep of the stock of Israel.
7 Miyi miagblɔ na wo be dziƒofiaɖuƒe la ɖo vɔ.
And as you go, proclaim, saying, The Reign of Heaven approaches.
8 Mida gbe le dɔnɔwo ŋu, migbɔ agbe ame kukuwo, mina anyidzelawo ŋuti nakɔ, eye minya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo do goe le amewo me. Mina nu amewo faa abe ale si wona mi ene!
Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, expel demons; freely they have received, freely give.
9 “Migatsɔ ga aɖeke de miaƒe gabusuwo me na miaƒe mɔzɔzɔ o,
Put not gold or silver, or brass in your girdles;
10 migatsɔ mɔzɔkotoku kple awu bubuwo hã ɖe asi o, eye migatsɔ afɔkpa alo atizɔti teti hã o, elabena dɔwɔla dze eƒe nuɖuɖu.
carry no traveling bag, no spare coat, shoes, or staff; for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.
11 Nenye be miege ɖe du alo kɔƒe aɖe me la, midi mawuvɔ̃la aɖe mianɔ eƒe aƒe me va se ɖe esime miadzo ayi du bubu me.
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire what person of worth dwells there; and abide with him until you leave the place.
12 Nenye be miege ɖe aƒe aɖe me la, mido gbe na ameawo, eye miabia dzeƒe ɖokuibɔbɔtɔe.
When you enter the home, salute the family.
13 Nenye be aƒea me tɔwo nye mawuvɔ̃lawo vavã la, miyra wo, ke ne womele nenema o la, miaƒe ŋutifafa agagbugbɔ ava mia dzi.
If the family be worthy, the peace you wish them shall come upon them: if they be not worthy, it shall rebound upon yourselves.
14 Ne du aɖe me tɔwo alo aƒe aɖe me tɔwo mexɔ mi o, eye womeɖo to mi o la, miʋuʋu miaƒe afɔke ɖe teƒea ne miadzo.
Wheresoever they will not receive you, nor regard your words, in departing that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be, anɔ bɔbɔe na Sodom kple Gomoranyigba le ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe la wu ame siawo ƒomevi.
Indeed, I say to you, the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment, than the condition of that city.
16 “Mele mia dɔm abe alẽwo ene ɖo ɖe amegaxi nyanyrawo dome. Midze aye abe dawo ene, eye midza abe akpakpawo ene.
Behold! I send you forth as sheep amidst wolves. Be therefore prudent as the serpents, and harmless as the doves.
17 Mikpɔ mia ɖokuiwo dzi nyuie le amewo ŋuti! Elabena woalé mi, adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi, eye woaƒo mi le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo.
But be upon your guard against these men; for they will deliver you to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 Ɛ̃, le tanye la, woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi le fiawo kple mɔmefiawo ƒe ŋkume. Ke esia anye mɔnukpɔkpɔ na mi be miagblɔ nyanyui la na wo kple ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la katã.
and you shall be brought before governors and kings, on my account, to bear testimony to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 “Nenye be wolé mi, kplɔ mi yi ʋɔnu la, migatsi dzi le nu si miagblɔ ŋuti o, elabena woade nya si tututu wòle be miagblɔ la susu me na mi le ɣeyiɣi ma me.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how, or what you shall speak; for what you shall speak shall be suggested to you in that moment.
20 Elabena menye miawo ŋutɔe aƒo nu o, ke boŋ mia Fofo si le dziƒo la ƒe Gbɔgbɔe le nu ƒo ge to mia dzi.
For it shall not be you that shall speak; but the Spirit of my Father, who will speak by you.
21 “Mele egblɔm na mi be nɔvi ahe nɔvi ade ku me, eye vi fofo ade eya ŋutɔ via asi. Ɖeviwo atsi tsitre ɖe wo dzilawo ŋuti, eye woahe wo ade ku me.
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
22 Ame sia ame alé fu mi, elabena mienye tɔnyewo. Ke mia dometɔ siwo anɔ tsitre sesĩe va se ɖe nuwuwu la akpɔ ɖeɖe.
And for my name you shall be hated universally. But the man who perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
23 “Nenye be woti mia yome le du aɖe me la, misi yi du bubu me! Vavã mele egblɔm na mi bena, nye Amegbetɔ Vi, matrɔ agbɔ hafi miawu tsatsa le Israel duwo katã me nu.
Therefore, when they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man be come.
24 Minyae be sukuvi menyaa nu wu eƒe nufiala o. Nenema ke subɔla mewua eƒe aƒetɔ o.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Ne nya aɖe dzɔ ɖe nufiala aɖe dzi la, eƒe sukuvi la hã dzi wòdzɔ ɖo. Nenema ke ne nya aɖe dzɔ ɖe Aƒetɔ aɖe dzi la, eƒe subɔvi hã le eme, eye esi wònye be woyɔ nye, Aƒea dzi kpɔla be Belzebul ɖe, aleke woayɔ miawoe?
It is enough for the disciple to be as his teacher, and for the servant to be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 “Migavɔ̃ ame siwo ado ŋɔdzi na mi la o, elabena ŋkeke li gbɔna esi dzi woƒe adzameɖoɖo vɔ̃wo adze le gaglãgbe, eye ame sia ame akpɔ nyateƒe la adze sii.
Therefore, fear them not; for there is nothing hid that shall not be detected; nothing secret that shall not be known.
27 “Nya siwo gblɔm mele na mi le viviti me la, migblɔ wo le kekeli me. Ne mede gbe to me na mi la, miɖe gbeƒãe le xɔwo tame.
What I tell you in the dark, publish in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the house tops.
28 “Migavɔ̃ na ame siwo ate ŋu awu miaƒe ŋutilã, ke womate ŋu awu miaƒe gbɔgbɔ o la gbeɖe o! Mivɔ̃ Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ, ame si si ŋusẽ le be wòawu ŋutilã kple gbɔgbɔ la siaa le dzomavɔ me. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them you kill the body, but can not kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Nenie nye akpakpa ɖeka ƒe home? Menye sidi ɖeka pɛ koe oa? Ke wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã meli si dzena ɖe anyigba dzi si mia Fofo la mekpɔna o.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet neither of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30 Miaƒe taɖa katã gɔ̃ hã ƒe xexlẽme le nyanya me na Mawu,
Nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 eya ta migavɔ̃ o; miawo la, miexɔ asi na Mawu tsɔ wu atsutsrɔewo.
Fear not, then; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
32 “Ame sia ame si aʋu menye le dutoƒo la, nye hã maʋu eme le Fofo la gbɔ le dziƒo.
Whoever, therefore, shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
33 Ke ne ame aɖe gbe nu le gbɔnye le dutoƒo la, nye hã magbe nu le egbɔ le Fofonye gbɔ le dziƒo.
But whoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 “Migabu xaa be meva be mahe ŋutifafa va anyigba dzi o. Nyemeva be mahe ŋutifafa vɛ o, ke boŋ yi metsɔ vɛ,
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth. I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 elabena meva be mana, “‘ŋutsu natso ɖe fofoa ŋu, vinyɔnu natso ɖe dadaa ŋu, eye lɔ̃xoyɔvi natso ɖe lɔ̃xoa ŋu.
For I am come to cause dissension between father and son, between mother and daughter, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
36 Ame ƒe futɔwo anye eya ŋutɔ ƒe aƒemetɔwo.’
so that a man's enemies will be found in his own family.
37 “Nenye be mielɔ̃ mia dadawo kple mia fofowo tsɔ wum la, ekema miedze be mianye tɔnyewo o, nenema ke ne mielɔ̃ mia vinyɔnuwo kple mia viŋutsuwo tsɔ wum la, miedze be mianye tɔnyewo o.
He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 Ne ame aɖe gbe metsɔ eƒe atitsoga dze yonyeme o la, eya hã medze anye tɔnye o.
He who will not take his cross and follow me, is not worthy of me.
39 “Nenye be ame aɖe ku ɖe eƒe agbe ŋuti vevie la, abui, ke ne ame aɖe tsɔ eƒe agbe na ɖe tanye la, akpɔe le nuwuwua.
He who preserves his life, shall lose it: but he who loses his life, on my account, shall preserve it.
40 “Ne ame aɖe xɔ mi nyuie la, nyee wòxɔ, eye ne ame aɖe xɔm la, exɔ Mawu si dɔm ɖa la.
He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me, receives him who sent me.
41 Nenye be miexɔ Nyagblɔɖila aɖe be enye Mawu ƒe ame la, woana fetu si ƒomevi woana Nyagblɔɖila la ke miawo hã, eye nenye be miexɔ ame nyui siwo vɔ̃a Mawu le woƒe dzadzɛnyenye ta la, woana fetu si woana woawo hã mi.
He that receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, shall obtain a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward:
42 Ne ame aɖe ana tsi fafɛ kplu ɖeka ame gblɔe siawo dometɔ ɖeka, be enye nye nusrɔ̃la ta la, mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be mabu fetu si wòaxɔ la o.”
and whosoever shall give one of these little ones, because he is my disciple, a single cup of cold water to drink; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
