Mateo 15
1 Farisitɔ aɖewo kple agbalẽfialawo hã tso Yerusalem va be yewoalé nya aɖewo kpɔ kple Yesu.
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Wobiae be, “Nu ka ta wò nusrɔ̃lawo mewɔna ɖe mí Yudatɔwo ƒe blemakɔnuwo dzi o ɖo? Womewɔa kɔnu si míewɔna heklɔa asi le ɖoɖo tɔxɛ aɖe nu hafi ɖua nu o.”
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Miawo hã, nu ka ta miaƒe kɔnuwo tsi tsitre ɖe Mawu ƒe sewo ŋuti ɖo?
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 Le kpɔɖeŋu me, Mawu ƒe Se gblɔ be, ‘Bu fofowò kple dawò; ame si tsi tsitre ɖe edzilawo ŋuti la, ku kee wòaku.’
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 Ke miawo miegblɔ be, ne ame aɖe gblɔ na fofoa alo dadaa be, ‘Nu si ke matsɔ akpe ɖe ŋutiwòe la, metsɔe wɔ adzɔgbeɖeɖe ƒe nunanae na Mawu’ la,
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 megahiã be wòatsɔe ade bubu fofoa ŋuti o. Ale miegbe Mawu ƒe nyadziwɔwɔ be mialé miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nuɖoanyiwo me ɖe asi.
And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Mi alakpanuwɔlawo! Yesaya gblɔe ɖi nyuie le mia ŋuti be,
[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 “‘Ame siawo le buyem kple woƒe nuyiwo, gake woƒe dziwo te ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye.
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 Viɖe aɖeke mele woƒe subɔsubɔ ŋuti o, elabena wofiaa woawo ŋutɔ ƒe se siwo wowɔ la, eye woɖe asi le Mawu ƒe sewo ŋuti.’”
But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
10 Yesu yɔ ameha la, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miɖo to nya si gblɔ ge mala la, be miase egɔme nyuie.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Menye nu si ame ɖuna lae nana wòzua ame makɔmakɔ o, ke boŋ nu si ame buna kple nya si wògblɔna lae.”
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Nusrɔ̃lawo va biae be, “Ènya be nya si nègblɔ la ve dɔ me na Farisitɔwo ŋutɔa?”
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ati sia ati si Fofonye si le dziƒo la medo o la, woahoe kple ke.
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Miɖe asi le wo ŋuti! Mɔfiala ŋkuagbãtɔwo wonye. Ne ŋkuagbãtɔ le ŋkuagbãtɔ kplɔm la, wo kple eve la woage ɖe do me.”
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Petro biae be wòaɖe lododo la me na yewo.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 Yesu bia wo be, “Ke miawo hã, miese nya sia gɔme oa?
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Mienyae be nu si ame ɖuna la toa eƒe dɔkaviwo me, eye wòdenɛ le nugodo me oa?
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 Nya vlo doa go tso egblɔla ƒe dzi me, eye wòƒoa ɖi ame.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 Elabena ame ƒe dzi mee susu vɔ̃ɖiwo, hlɔ̃dodo, ahasiwɔwɔ, matrewɔwɔ, fififi, aʋatsokaka kple ameŋugbegblẽ doa go tsona.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 Nu siawoe ƒoa ɖi ame, ke ne mèwɔ asikɔklɔ ƒe kɔnu hafi ɖu nu o la, maƒo ɖi wò o!”
These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Yesu dzo le nuto ma me, eye wòzɔ mɔ kilomita blaenyi sɔŋ yi Tiro kple Sidon nutowo me.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Kanan nyɔnu aɖe si le afi ma la va egbɔ va ɖe kuku nɛ vevie be, “O, Aƒetɔ, Fia David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nye nublanui! Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ ge ɖe vinye nyɔnuvi me, eye wòwɔa fui ɣe sia ɣi.”
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 Ke Yesu meɖo nya aɖeke ŋu nɛ o; mekpe kpe dee hã o. Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va ƒoe ɖe enu be nenyae wòadzo. Wogblɔ be, “Gblɔ nɛ be nedzo, elabena eƒe ɣlidodo le to me vem na mí.”
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 Yesu gblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Ɖe Mawu dɔm be mava Israel dukɔ si le abe alẽ bubu ene la ko gbɔ.”
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Ke nyɔnu la te ɖe eŋu kpokploe hede ta agu nɛ gaɖe kuku nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ve nunye ko!”
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Menyo be maxɔ nuɖuɖu le ɖeviwo si atsɔ na avuwo o.”
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
27 Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, ele eme nenema, gake avuvi siwo le kplɔ̃ te la ɖua abolo wuwlui siwo gena ɖe anyigba tso woƒe aƒetɔ ƒe kplɔ̃ dzi.”
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, wò xɔse lolo ŋutɔ! Nu si dim nèle la neva eme na wò.” Eye enumake via nyɔnuvi la ƒe lãme sẽ.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 Yesu trɔ yi Galilea ƒua nu azɔ, eye wòyi ɖanɔ togbɛ aɖe si le afi ma lɔƒo la dzi.
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 Ameha gã aɖe nye zi ɖe edzi le afi sia. Wokplɔ dɔnɔ siwo nye lãmetututɔwo, ŋkunɔwo, aɖetututɔwo, nuwɔametɔwo kple dɔ bubu ƒomevi geɖe lélawo la vɛ nɛ, eye wòyɔ dɔ wo katã.
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31 Enye nukunu blibo! Aɖetututɔwo nɔ nu ƒom kple dzidzɔ, ame siwo ƒe abɔ kple atawo menyo o la gaɖo nɔnɔme nyui me, tekunɔwo alo bafawo nɔ kpo tim, nɔ yiyim, eye ŋkuagbãtɔwo nɔ nu kpɔm nyuie! Nyateƒe, ameha gã la ƒe nu ku, eye wokafu Israel ƒe Mawu la.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Azɔ Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ gblɔ na wo be, “Ame gbogbo siawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nam ŋutɔ. Ŋkeke etɔ̃e nye esia wole yonyeme, eye nuɖuɖu hã vɔ le wo si. Nyemedi be maɖo wo ɖe aƒe me dɔmeɣii o, elabena ŋuzi atsɔ wo le mɔa dzi.”
Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Afi ka míakpɔ nuɖuɖu le le dzogbe afi sia ana ame gbogbo siawo?”
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 Yesu gabia wo be, “Abolo nenie susɔ ɖe mia si?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Abolo adre kple tɔmelã vi aɖe koe susɔ.”
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Yesu gblɔ na ameha la be woanɔ anyi ɖe anyigba.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 Etsɔ abolo adre la kple tɔmelãwo, eye wòda akpe na Mawu ɖe wo ta. Emegbe la, eŋe wo me kakɛkakɛ, hetsɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be woama na ameawo.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 Wo katã woɖu nu ɖi ƒo, eye nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo ƒu abolo kakɛ siwo susɔ la ɖe kusi adre me woyɔ fũu.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
38 Ame siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme le ŋutsu akpe ene, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo mele eme o.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 Azɔ edo mɔ ameha la, eye wòge ɖe ʋu la me, tso ƒua heyi Magadan nutoa me.
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
