< Matthew 8 >

1 Nígbà tí ó ti orí òkè sọ̀kalẹ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.
Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
2 Sì wò ó, adẹ́tẹ̀ kan wà, ó wá ó sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ ó wí pé, “Olúwa, bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, ìwọ lè sọ mi di mímọ́.”
A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
3 Jesu sì nà ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó fi bà á, ó wí pé, “Mo fẹ́, ìwọ di mímọ́.” Lójúkan náà, ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì mọ́!
Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
4 Jesu sì wí fún pé, “Wò ó, má ṣe sọ fún ẹnìkan. Ṣùgbọ́n máa ba ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ, fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún àlùfáà, kí o sì san ẹ̀bùn tí Mose pàṣẹ ní ẹ̀rí fún wọn.”
“Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
5 Nígbà tí Jesu sì wọ̀ Kapernaumu, balógun ọ̀rún kan tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
6 O sì wí pé, “Olúwa, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi dùbúlẹ̀ ààrùn ẹ̀gbà ni ilé, tòun ti ìrora ńlá.”
“Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
7 Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi ń bọ̀ wá mú un láradá.”
“I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
8 Balógun ọ̀rún náà dáhùn, ó wí pé, “Olúwa, èmi kò yẹ ní ẹni tí ìwọ ń wọ̀ abẹ́ òrùlé rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n sọ kìkì ọ̀rọ̀ kan, a ó sì mú ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi láradá.
The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 Ẹni tí ó wà lábẹ́ àṣẹ sá ni èmi, èmi sí ní ọmọ-ogun lẹ́yìn mi. Bí mo wí fún ẹni kan pé, ‘Lọ,’ a sì lọ, àti fún ẹni kejì pé, ‘Wá,’ a sì wá, àti fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi pé, ‘Ṣe èyí,’ a sì ṣe é.”
For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Nígbà tí Jesu gbọ́ èyí ẹnu yà á, ó sì wí fún àwọn tí ó ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, èmi kò rí ẹnìkan ni Israẹli tó ní ìgbàgbọ́ ńlá bí irú èyí.
When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere in Israel.
11 Mo sì wí fún yín, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn ni yóò ti ìhà ìlà-oòrùn àti ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn wá, wọ́n á sì bá Abrahamu àti Isaaki àti Jakọbu jẹun ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ ìjọba ni a ó sọ sínú òkùnkùn lóde, níbẹ̀ ni ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.”
But the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
13 Nítorí náà Jesu sì wí fún balógun ọ̀run náà pé, “Máa lọ ilé, ohun tí ìwọ gbàgbọ́ ti rí bẹ́ẹ̀.” A sì mú ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà láradá ní wákàtí kan náà.
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
14 Nígbà tí Jesu sì dé ilé Peteru, ìyá ìyàwó Peteru dùbúlẹ̀ àìsàn ibà.
When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Jesu fi ọwọ́ kan ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ibà náà fi í sílẹ̀, lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ ó sì dìde ó ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.
He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
16 Nígbà tí ó di àṣálẹ́, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù ni a mú wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù náà jáde. A sì mú gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́kùnrùn láradá.
When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
17 Kí èyí tí a ti sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì Isaiah lè ṣẹ pé, “Òun tìkára rẹ̀ gbà àìlera wa, ó sì ń ru ààrùn wa.”
This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
18 Nígbà tí Jesu rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn tó yí i ká, ó pàṣẹ pé kí wọ́n rékọjá sí òdìkejì adágún.
When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
19 Olùkọ́ òfin kan sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, èmi ó má tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.”
One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
20 Jesu dá lóhùn pé, “Àwọn kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀ ní ihò, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì ni ìtẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n Ọmọ Ènìyàn kò ní ibi tí yóò fi orí rẹ̀ lé.”
“Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
21 Ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ mìíràn sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, kọ́kọ́ jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó kọ́ lọ sìnkú baba mi ná.”
Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún un pé, “Máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, sì jẹ́ kí àwọn òkú kí ó máa sin òkú ara wọn.”
“Follow me. Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
23 Nígbà náà ni ó bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tẹ̀lé e.
Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
24 Ní àìròtẹ́lẹ̀, ìjì líle dìde lórí Òkun tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí rírú omi fi bò ọkọ̀ náà mọ́lẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Jesu ń sùn.
A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
25 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn jí i, wọ́n wí pe, “Olúwa, gbà wá! Àwa yóò rì!”
The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
26 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin onígbàgbọ́ kékeré. Èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń bẹ̀rù?” Nígbà náà ní ó dìde dúró, ó sì bá ìjì àti rírú Òkun náà wí, gbogbo rẹ̀ sì parọ́rọ́.
“Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu yà àwọn ọkùnrin náà, wọ́n sì béèrè pé, “Irú ènìyàn wo ni èyí? Kódà ìjì líle àti rírú omi Òkun gbọ́ tirẹ̀?”
The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
28 Nígbà ti ó sì dé apá kejì ní ilẹ̀ àwọn ara Gadara, àwọn ọkùnrin méjì ẹlẹ́mìí èṣù ti inú ibojì wá pàdé rẹ̀. Wọn rorò gidigidi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò le kọjá ní ọ̀nà ibẹ̀.
When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel that way.
29 Wọ́n kígbe lóhùn rara wí pé, “Kí ní ṣe tàwa tìrẹ, Ìwọ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run? Ìwọ ha wá láti dá wa lóró ṣáájú ọjọ́ tí a yàn náà?”
They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
30 Agbo ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ ńlá tí ń jẹ ń bẹ ní ọ̀nà jíjìn díẹ̀ sí wọn.
In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 Àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù náà bẹ̀ Jesu wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá lé wa jáde, jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó lọ sínú agbo ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ yìí.”
The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa lọ!” Nígbà tí wọn sì jáde, wọn lọ sínú agbo ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ náà; sì wò ó, gbogbo agbo ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ náà sì rọ́ gììrì sọ̀kalẹ̀ bèbè odò bọ́ sínú Òkun, wọ́n sì ṣègbé nínú omi.
“Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
33 Àwọn ẹni tí ń ṣọ wọn sì sá, wọ́n sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n lọ sí ìlú, wọ́n ròyìn ohun gbogbo, àti ohun tí a ṣe fún àwọn ẹlẹ́mìí èṣù.
The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo ará ìlú náà sì jáde wá í pàdé Jesu. Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí i, wọ́n bẹ̀ ẹ́, kí ó lọ kúrò ní agbègbè wọn.
The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
