Mateo 9
1 Yesu gatrɔ ge ɖe ʋua me, eye wòtso ƒua va Kapernaum, si nye wo dedu me.
Then having gone aboard the bark, he repassed, and went to his own city;
2 Eɖo afi ma eteƒe medidi hafi ame aɖewo kɔ ŋutsu aɖe si le lãmetutudɔ lém la ɖe aba dzi vɛ o. Yesu kpɔ be ameawo ƒe xɔse de to ŋutɔ, eya ta egblɔ na dɔnɔ la be, “Vinye, wò dzi nedze eme, elabena wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò.”
where they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed. Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, take courage, your sins are forgiven you.
3 Yudatɔwo ƒe agbalẽfiala aɖewo nɔ afi ma se nya siwo do le Yesu nu la, eye wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Nu ka! Ame sia gblɔ busunya.”
On which some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
4 Yesu nya nu si nɔ woƒe susu me, eya ta ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele nu baɖa siawo ƒomevi susum ɖo?
But Jesus knowing their sentiments, said, Why do you harbor evil thoughts?
5 Mibu eŋuti kpɔ be kae le bɔbɔe wu, be woagblɔ na ame sia be, ‘Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò’ alo woagblɔ nɛ be, ‘Tso nàzɔ azɔli?’”
Which is easier--to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, with effect --Arise and walk?
6 Be miadze sii be ŋusẽ le nye Amegbetɔ Vi la si le anyigba sia dzi be matsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake amewo le anyigba dzi ŋuti la, Yesu trɔ ɖe lãmetututɔ la gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsi tsitre nàŋlɔ wò aba ne nàzɔ ayi aƒe me!”
But that you may know that the Son of Man has power upon the earth to forgive sins; Arise, then, (said he to the paralytic, ) take up your bed and go home.
7 Ame la tsi tsitre enumake, eye wòfɔ eƒe nuwo heyi aƒe me.
Accordingly he arose, and went home.
8 Nyateƒe, vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe dze ameha blibo la dzi, elabena Yesu wɔ nukunu sia le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkume wokpɔ, eye wokafu Mawu be wòna ŋusẽ triakɔ sia tɔgbi amegbetɔ!
And the people saw and wondered, glorifying God, who had given such power to men.
9 Esi Yesu nɔ tsa ɖim le dua me la, eva ke ɖe dugadzɔla aɖe si woyɔna be Mateo la ŋu wònɔ anyi ɖe dugadzɔƒe. Yesu yɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Va dze yonyeme ne nàzu nye nusrɔ̃la.” Mateo tso enumake, eye wòdze Yesu yome.
As Jesus departed thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the toll office; to whom he said, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 Gbe ma gbe fiẽ la, Mateo kpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woava ɖu nu le yeƒe aƒe me. Dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔla bubuwo hã nɔ ame kpekpeawo dome.
Afterward Jesus being at table in a house, many publicans and sinners came, and placed themselves with him and his disciples.
11 Farisitɔwo kpɔ esia, ale wobia Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nu ka ta miaƒe nufiala dea ha kple dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, eye woɖua nu kple wo hã ɖo?”
Some of the Pharisees observing this, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 Yesu se nya la, eye wòɖo eŋu na wo gblɔ be, “Ame siwo mele dɔ lém o la mehiã atikewɔla o, ke boŋ ame siwo le dɔ lém lae hiãe.
Jesus hearing them, answered, The whole need not a physician, but the sick.
13 Ke miyi miasrɔ̃ nu si gblɔm mawunya sia le la be, ‘Nublanuikpɔkpɔe medi, ke menye vɔsa o.’ Nyemeva be mayɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo o, ke boŋ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.”
Go, therefore, and learn what this means, "I desire humanity, and not sacrifice:" for I came to call, not the righteous, but sinners.
14 Gbe ɖeka la, Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va Yesu gbɔ va biae be, “Nu ka ta wò nusrɔ̃lawo metsia nu dɔna abe ale si mí kple Farisitɔwo míewɔna ene o ɖo?”
Then John's disciples addressing him, said, We and the Pharisees often fast: why do your disciples never fast?
15 Yesu hã bia wo be, “Ɖe wòle be ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la xɔlɔ̃wo nanɔ konyi fam, atsi nu adɔ le esime wòle wo gbɔa? Ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esime woakplɔe adzoe le wo gbɔ, eye le ɣe ma ɣi me la, woagbe nuɖuɖu atsi nu adɔ.
Jesus answered, Can the bridemen mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 “Womate ŋu atsɔ avɔnuɖeɖi yeye aka avɔ vuvu o. Ne wowɔe alea la, avɔ yeye la aho ɖa le teƒea, eye teƒe si vuvu la akeke ɖe edzi wu.
No person mends an old garment with undressed cloth; else the patch itself tears the garment, and makes a greater rent.
17 Nenema ke womekɔa aha yeye hã ɖe lãgbalẽgolo xoxo me o. Ne wowɔ esia la, aha yeye la ƒe ŋusẽ awɔe be lãgbalẽgolo la nawo, eye aha la kple goe la katã dome agblẽ. Lãgbalẽgolo yeye ko me woate ŋu akɔ aha yeye ɖo. Ekema aha la kple lãgbalẽgolo la katã woanɔ dedie.”
Neither do people put new wine into old leather bottles; otherwise the bottles burst: and thus, both the wine is spilt, and the bottles are rendered useless. But they put new wine into new bottles, and bother are preserved.
18 Esime Yesu nɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe ƒe amegã aɖe va dze klo ɖe eƒe ŋkume hede ta agu nɛ. Egblɔ na Yesu be, “Vinye nyɔnuvi ku fifi laa, gake mexɔe se be àte ŋu ana wòagagbɔ agbe nenye be èva ka asi eŋu ko.”
While he was speaking, a ruler came, and prostrating himself, said, My daughter is by this time dead; but come, and lay your hand upon her, and she will revive.
19 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ ɖo ta amegã la ƒe aƒe me enumake.
And Jesus arose, and, as he followed him, with his disciples,
20 Esime wonɔ mɔa dzi la, nyɔnu aɖe si nɔ ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ la va ka asi eƒe awu to,
a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with a bloody issue, coming behind, touched the tuft of his mantle;
21 elabena egblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Nenye be meka asi eƒe awu to teti ko la, nye lãme asẽ.”
for she said within herself, If I but touch his mantle, I shall recover.
22 Yesu trɔ ɖe eŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinyɔnuvi, wò dzi nedze eme! Wò xɔse la da gbe le ŋuwò.” Tso gbe ma gbe ko la, nyɔnu la ƒe dɔa vɔ nɛ keŋ.
Jesus turning about, saw her, and said, Daughter, take courage, your faith has cured you. And the woman was well from that instant.
23 Esi Yesu va ɖo amegã la ƒe aƒe me la, ekpɔ be amewo nɔ avi fam hoo, eye wonɔ kuteƒehawo hã dzim.
Being come into the ruler's house, and seeing the players on the flute, with the crowd, making a bustle,
24 Yesu gblɔ be, “Mina ame siawo katã nado go le xɔa me, elabena ɖevi la meku o, alɔ̃ ko dɔm wòle.” Ame siwo se nya sia la ɖu fewu le eŋu, eye ɖewo hã koe.
he said to them, Withdraw, for the young woman is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him:
25 Wonya ameha la do goe mlɔeba. Yesu yi afi si wokɔ ɖevi la mlɔe la, eye wòlé eƒe alɔnu. Nyɔnuvi la nyɔ enumake; eti kpo ɖi le aba la dzi, eye eƒe lãme sẽ.
but when the people were put out, he entered, and having taken her by the hand, the young woman arose.
26 Nukunu sia kaka ɖe nuto blibo la katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko megbe.
Now the fame of this action spread through all the country.
27 Esime Yesu do go le aƒea me yina la, ŋkuagbãtɔ eve kplɔe ɖo henɔ ɣli dom be, “O, Fia David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nublanui na mí.”
When Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, Son of David, have pity upon us.
28 Wokplɔe ɖo yi aƒe si me wòge ɖo la. Tete Yesu trɔ ɖe wo ŋu bia wo be, “Miexɔe se be mate ŋu aʋu ŋku na mia?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ.”
Being come into the house, the blind men approached him: and Jesus said to them, Do you believe I can do this? They answered, Yes, Master.
29 Ale Yesu ka asi woƒe ŋkuwo ŋu hegblɔ be, “Ava eme na mi abe ale si miexɔe se ene.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, Be it to you according to your faith.
30 Enumake woƒe ŋkuwo ʋu, eye wode asi nukpɔkpɔ me nyuie. Yesu de se na wo vevie bena, womegagblɔ nu si yewɔ na wo la na ame aɖeke o.
Immediately their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charging them, said, Take care that no person know it.
31 Ke ameawo mewɔ ɖe Yesu ƒe didi dzi o; esi wodo ɖe ablɔ dzi ko la, wokaka nu si wòwɔ na wo la, eye eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo le nuto blibo la me.
But being departed, they spread his fame through all that country.
32 Esi Yesu nɔ dzodzom le afi ma la, wokplɔ ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ, eye metea ŋu ƒoa nu o la vɛ nɛ.
They were scarcely gone, when a dumb demoniac was presented to him.
33 Yesu nya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe le ame la me, eye wòde asi nuƒoƒo me enumake. Nu sia wɔ nuku na ameha la ŋutɔ, ale wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, yewomekpɔ esia tɔgbi kpɔ le Israel o.
The demon being expelled, the dumb spoke, and the people wondered, saying, Nothing like this was ever seen in Israel.
34 Ke Farisitɔwo ya gblɔ be, “Nu si ta wòtea ŋu nyaa gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃woe ɖo lae nye be, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ƒe fia la le eya ŋutɔ me.”
But the Pharisees said, He expels the demons by the prince of the demons.
35 Yesu tsa le kɔƒe kple du siwo le nuto ma me la kpe ɖo. Enɔ mawunya gblɔm le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒewo, eye wònɔ gbeƒã ɖem mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui la hã, eye afi sia afi si wòyi la, edaa gbe le dɔ ƒomevi vovovo lélawo ŋu.
Then Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every disease and every malady.
36 Ameawo ƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, elabena nu geɖewo nɔ fu ɖem na wo, ke womenya nu si woawɔ o. Ɖeko wonɔ abe alẽha si kplɔla meli na o la ene.
But when he saw the multitudes, he had compassion upon them, because they were scattered and exposed, like a flock without a shepherd.
37 Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nuŋeŋe la sɔ gbɔ, gake dɔwɔlawo mede ha o.
Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are few:
38 Eya ta miɖe kuku na nuŋeŋe ƒe Aƒetɔ la bena, wòadɔ dɔwɔlawo aɖo ɖe eƒe nuŋeŋe la me.”
entreat, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers to reap it.
