Mateo 15
1 Farisitɔ aɖewo kple agbalẽfialawo hã tso Yerusalem va be yewoalé nya aɖewo kpɔ kple Yesu.
Then the Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from 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 your disciples disobey the Tradition of the Elders? For they do not wash 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?
And he answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of 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 said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to 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 you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"
6 megahiã be wòatsɔe ade bubu fofoa ŋuti o. Ale miegbe Mawu ƒe nyadziwɔwɔ be mialé miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nuɖoanyiwo me ɖe asi.
he is not to honor his father or his mother.' You have made the word of God void because of your tradition.
7 Mi alakpanuwɔlawo! Yesaya gblɔe ɖi nyuie le mia ŋuti be,
You hypocrites. Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 “‘Ame siawo le buyem kple woƒe nuyiwo, gake woƒe dziwo te ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye.
'These people honor 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.’”
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'"
10 Yesu yɔ ameha la, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miɖo to nya si gblɔ ge mala la, be miase egɔme nyuie.
He summoned the crowd, and said to 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.”
That which enters into the mouth does not defile the person; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the person."
12 Nusrɔ̃lawo va biae be, “Ènya be nya si nègblɔ la ve dɔ me na Farisitɔwo ŋutɔa?”
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when 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, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14 Miɖe asi le wo ŋuti! Mɔfiala ŋkuagbãtɔwo wonye. Ne ŋkuagbãtɔ le ŋkuagbãtɔ kplɔm la, wo kple eve la woage ɖe do me.”
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
15 Petro biae be wòaɖe lododo la me na yewo.
And answering, Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16 Yesu bia wo be, “Ke miawo hã, miese nya sia gɔme oa?
So he said, "Do you also still not understand?
17 Mienyae be nu si ame ɖuna la toa eƒe dɔkaviwo me, eye wòdenɛ le nugodo me oa?
Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
18 Nya vlo doa go tso egblɔla ƒe dzi me, eye wòƒoa ɖi ame.
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the person.
19 Elabena ame ƒe dzi mee susu vɔ̃ɖiwo, hlɔ̃dodo, ahasiwɔwɔ, matrewɔwɔ, fififi, aʋatsokaka kple ameŋugbegblẽ doa go tsona.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and 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 the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person."
21 Yesu dzo le nuto ma me, eye wòzɔ mɔ kilomita blaenyi sɔŋ yi Tiro kple Sidon nutowo me.
Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region 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 look, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and started shouting, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely demonized."
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 did not answer her a word. His disciples came and pleaded with him, saying, "Send her away, for she keeps shouting at 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, "I was not sent to anyone but 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!”
But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Menyo be maxɔ nuɖuɖu le ɖeviwo si atsɔ na avuwo o.”
But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the 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.”
But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat 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 her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Yesu trɔ yi Galilea ƒua nu azɔ, eye wòyi ɖanɔ togbɛ aɖe si le afi ma lɔƒo la dzi.
Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat 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.
Large crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his 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.
So the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, crippled healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing—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.”
Jesus summoned the disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."
33 Nusrɔ̃lawo biae be, “Afi ka míakpɔ nuɖuɖu le le dzogbe afi sia ana ame gbogbo siawo?”
Then the disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a crowd?"
34 Yesu gabia wo be, “Abolo nenie susɔ ɖe mia si?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Abolo adre kple tɔmelã vi aɖe koe susɔ.”
Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 Yesu gblɔ na ameha la be woanɔ anyi ɖe anyigba.
He commanded the crowd 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 fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.
37 Wo katã woɖu nu ɖi ƒo, eye nusrɔ̃lawo ƒo ƒu abolo kakɛ siwo susɔ la ɖe kusi adre me woyɔ fũu.
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 Ame siwo ɖu nua la ƒe xexlẽme le ŋutsu akpe ene, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo mele eme o.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Azɔ edo mɔ ameha la, eye wòge ɖe ʋu la me, tso ƒua heyi Magadan nutoa me.
Then he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
