Matthew 19
1 Lẹ́yìn tí Jesu ti parí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ó kúrò ní Galili. Ó sì yípo padà sí Judea, ó gba ìhà kejì odò Jordani.
When Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, ó sì mú wọn láradá níbẹ̀.
Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Àwọn Farisi wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti dán an wò. Wọ́n bi í pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ̀nà fún ọkùnrin láti kọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ nítorí ohunkóhun?”
Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Ó dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹyin kò ti kà á pé ‘ẹni tí ó dá wọn ní ìgbà àtètèkọ́ṣe, Ọlọ́run dá wọn ni ti akọ ti abo.’
He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Nítorí ìdí èyí ọkùnrin yóò fi baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, òun yóò sì dàpọ̀ mọ́ aya rẹ̀, àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì di ara kan.’
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 Wọn kì í túnṣe méjì mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ara kan. Nítorí náà, ohun tí Ọlọ́run bá ti so ṣọ̀kan, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe yà wọ́n.”
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 Wọ́n bi í pé: “Kí ni ìdí tí Mose fi pàṣẹ pé, ọkùnrin kan lè kọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ nípa fífún un ní ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀?”
They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
8 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Nítorí líle àyà yín ni Mose ṣe gbà fún yín láti máa kọ aya yín sílẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n láti ìgbà àtètèkọ́ṣe wá, kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 Mo sọ èyí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láìṣe pé nítorí àgbèrè, tí ó bá sì fẹ́ ẹlòmíràn, ó ṣe panṣágà.”
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Bí ọ̀rọ̀ bá rí báyìí láàrín ọkọ àti aya, kó ṣàǹfààní fún wa láti gbé ìyàwó.”
His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Gbogbo ènìyàn kọ́ ló lé gba ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, bí kò ṣe iye àwọn tí a ti fún.
But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 Àwọn mìíràn jẹ́ akúra nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a bí wọn, àwọn mìíràn ń bẹ tí ènìyàn sọ wọn di bẹ́ẹ̀; àwọn mìíràn kọ̀ láti gbé ìyàwó nítorí ìjọba ọ̀run. Ẹni tí ó bá lè gbà á kí ó gbà á.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Lẹ́yìn náà a sì gbé àwọn ọmọ ọwọ́ wá sọ́dọ̀ Jesu, kí ó lè gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn, kí ó sì gbàdúrà fún wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ bá àwọn tí ó gbé wọn wá wí.
Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu dáhùn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọdé wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, ẹ má ṣe dá wọn lẹ́kun, nítorí irú wọn ni ìjọba ọ̀run.”
But Yeshua said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 Lẹ́yìn náà, ó gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn, ó sì kúrò níbẹ̀.
He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 Ẹnìkan sì wá ó bí Jesu pé, “Olùkọ́, ohun rere kí ni èmi yóò ṣe, kí èmi kí ó lè ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun?” (aiōnios g166)
Behold, one came to him and said, “Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń béèrè nípa ohun rere lọ́wọ́ mi. Ẹni kan ṣoṣo ni ó wà tí í ṣe ẹni rere. Bí ìwọ bá fẹ́ dé ibi ìyè, pa àwọn òfin mọ́.”
He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 Ọkùnrin náà béèrè pé, “Àwọn wo ni òfin wọ̀nyí?” Jesu dáhùn pé, “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn; ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà; ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jalè; ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ́rìí èké’,
He said to him, “Which ones?” Yeshua said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba àti ìyá rẹ. ‘Kí o sì fẹ́ aládùúgbò rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ.’”
‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 Ọmọdékùnrin náà tún wí pé, “Gbogbo òfin wọ̀nyí ni èmi ti ń pamọ́, kí ni nǹkan mìíràn tí èmi ní láti ṣe?”
The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fẹ́ di ẹni pípé, lọ ta ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ní, kí o sì fi owó rẹ̀ tọrẹ fún àwọn aláìní. Ìwọ yóò ní ọrọ̀ ńlá ní ọ̀run. Lẹ́yìn náà, wá láti máa tọ̀ mi lẹ́yìn.”
Yeshua said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà gbọ́ èyí, ó kúrò níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́, nítorí ó ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 Nígbà náà, ní Jesu wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín pé, ó ṣòro fún ọlọ́rọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba Ọ̀run.”
Yeshua said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24 Mo tún wí fún yín pé, “Ó rọrùn fún ìbákasẹ láti wọ ojú abẹ́rẹ́ jù fún ọlọ́rọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba Ọlọ́run.”
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn gbọ́ èyí, ẹnu sì yà wọn gidigidi, wọ́n béèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ó ha le là?”
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wò wọ́n, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ènìyàn ni èyí ṣòro fún; ṣùgbọ́n fún Ọlọ́run ohun gbogbo ni ṣíṣe.”
Looking at them, Yeshua said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Peteru sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa ti fi ohun gbogbo sílẹ̀, a sì tẹ̀lé ọ, kí ni yóò jẹ́ èrè wa?”
Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín pé, ‘Nígbà ìsọdọ̀tun ohun gbogbo, nígbà tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ tí ó lógo, dájúdájú, ẹ̀yin ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi yóò sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ méjìlá láti ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹ̀yà Israẹli méjìlá.
Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Àti pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi ilé tàbí arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin tàbí baba tàbí ìyá tàbí àwọn ọmọ, tàbí ohun ìní rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ nítorí orúkọ mí, yóò gba ọgọọgọ́rùn-ún èrè rẹ̀ láyé, wọn ó sì tún jogún ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn tí ó síwájú nísinsin yìí ni yóò kẹ́yìn, àwọn tí ó kẹ́yìn ni yóò sì síwájú.’
But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
