< Mateo 9 >

1 Yesu gatrɔ ge ɖe ʋua me, eye wòtso ƒua va Kapernaum, si nye wo dedu me.
And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came 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.”
and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
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.”
And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 'This one doth speak evil.'
4 Yesu nya nu si nɔ woƒe susu me, eya ta ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele nu baɖa siawo ƒomevi susum ɖo?
And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, 'Why think ye evil in your hearts?
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?’”
for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, 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 ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins — (then saith he to the paralytic) — having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'
7 Ame la tsi tsitre enumake, eye wòfɔ eƒe nuwo heyi aƒe me.
And he, having risen, went to his house,
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 multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give 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.
And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow 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.
And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus 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?”
and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, 'Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'
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.
And Jesus having heard, said to them, 'They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;
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.”
but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'
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 come to him do the disciples of John, saying, 'Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?'
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.
And Jesus said to them, 'Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall 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.
'And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
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.”
'Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not — the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'
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 is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that 'My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'
19 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ ɖo ta amegã la ƒe aƒe me enumake.
And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples,
20 Esime wonɔ mɔa dzi la, nyɔnu aɖe si nɔ ʋusisidɔ lém ƒe wuieve sɔŋ la va ka asi eƒe awu to,
and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,
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 only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'
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.
And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.
23 Esi Yesu va ɖo amegã la ƒe aƒe me la, ekpɔ be amewo nɔ avi fam hoo, eye wonɔ kuteƒehawo hã dzim.
And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,
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 saith to them, 'Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding 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 multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,
26 Nukunu sia kaka ɖe nuto blibo la katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko megbe.
and the fame of this went forth to all the land.
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.”
And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, 'Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'
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.”
And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, 'Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.'
29 Ale Yesu ka asi woƒe ŋkuwo ŋu hegblɔ be, “Ava eme na mi abe ale si miexɔe se ene.”
Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,'
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.
and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'
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 they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.
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.
And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,
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.
and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that 'It was never so 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, 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out 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.
And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every malady among the people.
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.
And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,
37 Yesu gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Nuŋeŋe la sɔ gbɔ, gake dɔwɔlawo mede ha o.
then saith he to his disciples, 'The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;
38 Eya ta miɖe kuku na nuŋeŋe ƒe Aƒetɔ la bena, wòadɔ dɔwɔlawo aɖo ɖe eƒe nuŋeŋe la me.”
beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'
