Matthew 12
1 Tia paht tukun ma inge, Jesus el fahsryak in sie ima in wheat ke len Sabbath. Mwet tumal lutlut elos masrinsral, ouinge elos mutawauk in kunesla wheat uh ac kang.
AT that time Jesus walked through corn-fields on a sabbath-day; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Ke mwet Pharisee liye ma inge, elos fahk nu sin Jesus, “Liye, mwet tumom lutlut elos lain Ma Sap lasr ke elos oru ma inge ke len Sabbath!”
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do a thing that it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
3 Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ku kowos soenna rit ma David el tuh oru ke pacl se el ac mwet lal elos tuh masrinsral ah?
And he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they who were with him?
4 El tuh utyak nu in lohm sin God, na el, ac mwet lal, elos mongo ke bread ma kisakinyukyang nu sin God, finne lain Ma Sap elos in mongo kac — mwet tol mukena pa lela nu se in kang bread inge.
how they went into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of shew-bread, of which it was not lawful for him or those who were with him to eat, but for the priests alone?
5 Ku kowos tia pac rit in Ma Sap lal Moses lah ke len Sabbath nukewa, mwet tol su muta in Tempul elos kunaus pac ma sap lun len Sabbath a wangin mwatalos kac?
Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are not culpable?
6 Nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su yohk liki Tempul.
Now I tell you, That one greater than the temple is here.
7 Ma Simusla fahk mu, ‘Pakoten pa nga lungsik, ac tia mwe kisa.’ Kowos funu etu kalmen kas inge, kowos lukun tiana sang mwatan mwet su wangin ma koluk la;
But if ye had known what that meant, I desire mercy and not sacrifice; ye would not have condemned the innocent.
8 tuh Wen nutin Mwet el Leum lun len Sabbath.”
For the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
9 Jesus el fahsr liki acn sac ac som nu in sie iwen lolngok.
And going on from thence, he came into their synagogue;
10 Sie mukul su ul lac paol el muta we, wi kutu mwet su kena konauk mwatan Jesus. Na elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Ya ac lain Ma Sap lal Moses in akkeyala mas ke len Sabbath?”
and, behold a man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ac fuka fin soko sheep nutin sie suwos putatyang nu in sie luf na loal ke len Sabbath? Ya el ac tia som sraklalak liki luf sac?
Then he said to them; What man of you is there who hath one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, doth he not lay hold on him, and lift him out?
12 Arulana yohk sripen sie mwet liki soko sheep! Ke ma inge, Ma Sap uh lela tuh kut in kasru mwet ke len Sabbath.”
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days.
13 Na el fahk nu sin mwet se ma ulla lac pao uh, “Asroela poum.” Mwet sac asroela paol, na paol kwela oana lac po ngia.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored, sound as the other.
14 Na mwet Pharisee elos som ac pwapa in unilya Jesus.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a consultation against him, how they might make away with him.
15 Ke sripen Jesus el etu pwapa koluk lalos inge, el fahsr liki acn sac; ac un mwet puspis fahsr tokol. El akkeyalosla nukewa su mas,
But Jesus knew it, and retired from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,
16 ac wili nu selos in tiana fahk kacl nu sin kutena mwet.
and charged them that they should not make him known.
17 El oru ouinge in akpwayei ma mwet palu Isaiah el fahkak kacl:
That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
18 “El inge mwet kulansap luk su nga sulela, El su nga lungsik, ac su nga insewowo kac. Nga ac fah sang Ngunik nu facl, Ac el ac fah fahkak nununku luk nu sin mutunfacl uh.
“Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment for the heathen.
19 El ac fah tia alein, ku wowoyak, Ku orek sramsram oraru inkanek uh.
He shall not contend, nor be clamorous; neither shall any man in the streets hear his voice.
20 El fah tia koteya soko loa ma kuruweni, Ku konela sie lam su apkuran in kunla. El ac kwafeang nwe ke pacl se ma suwohs uh kutangla.
A bruised reed shall he not break down, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he break forth in judgment for victory.
21 Ac mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac fah filiya finsrak lalos in el.”
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.”
22 Na kutu mwet elos use sie mwet kun nu yurin Jesus su tia pac ku in kaskas mweyen oasr sie ngun fohkfok in el. Jesus el akkeyala mwet sac, na el ku in kaskas ac liye.
Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.
23 U lulap sac arulana fwefela ke ma Jesus el oru. Na kutu selos fahk, “Ya tia el inge pa Wen nutin David?”
And all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this the son of David?
24 Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng ma inge, elos fahk, “El lusla ngun fohkfok inge ke sripen Beelzebul, leum lun ngun fohkfok uh, el sang ku nu sel in oru.”
But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.
25 Jesus el etu ma elos nunku, ke ma inge el fahk nu selos, “Kutena facl lulap su sifacna amei inmasrlolos, ac fah tia oan paht. Ac kutena acn, ku sou, ma tukeni alein, ac fah musalla.
But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family, divided against itself cannot subsist:
26 Ke ma inge, Satan el fin sisla Satan, kalmac pa el sifacna lainul, na tokosrai lal tia ku in oan paht.
so if Satan cast out Satan; he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist?
27 Kowos fahk mu nga lusla ngun fohkfok mweyen Beelzebul el se ku nu sik in oru ouinge. Fin pwaye, na su sang ku nu sin mwet lowos in oru ma inge? Ma mwet lowos uh oru sifacna akkalemye lah kowos sutuela!
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
28 Mo, tia Beelzebul, a Ngun lun God pa ase nu sik ku in lusla ngun fohkfok inge, su akpwayei lah Tokosrai lun God tuku tari nu fowos.
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out the devils, then truly the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 “Wangin sie mwet ku in sifacna utyak nu in lohm sin sie mwet ku, ac usla ma lal el fin tia kapriya mwet ku sacn meet, na toko el fah ku in usla ma in lohm sel uh.
Else how can one enter into a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then will he plunder his goods?
30 “Kutena mwet su tia wiyu, pwayena lah el lainyu; kutena mwet su tia kasreyu in orani, pwayena lah el akfahsryelik.
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that associates not with me, scattereth abroad.
31 Ke sripa se inge, nga fahk nu suwos: Mwet uh ku in eis nunak munas ke kutena ma koluk, ku kutena kas fohkfok elos fahk; tusruktu, kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas koluk ke Ngun Mutal, fah tiana nunak munas nu sel kac.
Therefore I say unto you, All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
32 Kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas lain Wen nutin Mwet, ac ku in nunak munas nu sel kac; tusruktu, kutena mwet su fahk kutena kas lain Ngun Mutal, ac fah tia ku in nunak munas nu sel-tia inge, ku nwe tok. (aiōn g165)
And whosoever may speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
33 “Fahko wo tuku ke sak ma ku; fin oasr soko sak ma munas, fahko kac ac fah koluk. Soko sak eteyuk ke fahko la.
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by the fruit.
34 Kowos wet pwasin — kowos ku in fahk kas wo fuka ke kowos mwet koluk? Tuh oalu el kaskas ac fahk ma su insia sessesla kac.
Ye broods of vipers, how can ye speak good things, yourselves being wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Sie mwet wo el ac use ma wo liki ma wo el elosak in el; ac sie mwet koluk el ac use ma koluk liki ma koluk el elosak in el.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things: and a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things.
36 “Nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, kais sie mwet ac fah enenu in fahkak sripa lal ke kas lusrongten nukewa ma el fahkla.
But I tell you, That every idle word which men speak, for it shall they give an account in the day of judgment.
37 Kas lom sifacna ac fah touyak in nununkekom, in fahkak lah ac oasr mwatum, ku wangin.”
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Na kutu sin mwet luti ke Ma Sap ac kutu mwet Pharisee elos tuku ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, kut ke liye kom in oru sie mwe akul lulap sin God me.”
Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying, Master, we desire to see a sign from thee.
39 Na Jesus el fahk, “Fuka lupan koluk ac pilesru God lun mwet in pacl inge uh! Ya kowos ke liye sie mwe akul lulap? Mo! Pwayena mwe akul kowos ac liye pa mwe akul su tuh sikyak nu sel mwet palu Jonah.
But he answered and said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet:
40 In ouiya se na ma Jonah el tuh muta len tolu ac fong tolu ke sien ik lulap soko ah, ouinge Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah oan ye fohk uh len tolu ac fong tolu.
for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Ke Len in Nununku uh, mwet Nineveh elos ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen elos tuh forla liki ma koluk lalos ke elos lohng luti lal Jonah. Ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su yohk lukel Jonah!
The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this generation, and condemn it: for they repented on the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 Ke Len in Nununku uh, Kasra lun Sheba el ac mau tuyak ac orek loh lain kowos, mweyen el tuh tuku liki acn sel su oan yen loeslana, in tuh porongo kas lalmwetmet lal Solomon. Ac nga fahk nu suwos lah oasr sie inge su arulana yohk lukel Solomon!
The queen of the South shall rise up in judgment against the men of this generation, and condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 Ke pacl sie ngun fohkfok el illa liki sie mwet, el ac forfor yen wangin kof we in suk acn elan muta we. El fin tia ku in konauk,
When the unclean spirit is indeed gone out of a man, he traverses through places destitute of water, in search of rest, but cannot find it.
44 na el ac nunku in el sifacna, ‘Nga ac folokla nu in lohm se nga muta we meet ah,’ na ke el folokla, el liye lah lohm sel uh wangin koano-imonyukla ac arulana nasnas.
Then he saith, I will return to my mansion, whence I came; and on his arrival, he findeth it unoccupied, swept, and furnished.
45 Na el ac sifil illa ac solama itkosr pac ngun ma koluk lukel, na elos ac tuku ac muta in lohm sac. Na saflaiyen mwet sac arulana koluk liki meet ah. Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet koluk in len inge uh.”
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.
46 Jesus el srakna sramsram nu sin un mwet sac ke nina kial ac mwet lel elos tuku. Elos tu na likinuma ac siyuk elos in sramsram nu sel.
And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak to him.
47 Na sie sin mwet uh fahk nu sin Jesus, “Liye, nina kiom ac mwet lim elos oasr likinuma ac elos ke sramsram nu sum.”
And a person said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak to thee.
48 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet sac, “Su nina kiuk? Ac su mwet wiuk?”
But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 Na el srisrngiya mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Liye! Pa inge nina kiuk ac mwet wiuk uh!
And stretching out his hand towards his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren.
50 Kutena mwet su oru ma lungse lun Papa tumuk inkusrao, el pa mwet lik ac mwet louk ac nina kiuk.”
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
