Matthew 9 (GHN)

1Ego za surana pa koaka i Jisu ko za toka karovo lao pa nana guguzu zozoto.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Ko qari pogozo kamuni pa nana kolekolena za maka tinoni za uke kale na tinina. Tonai za batia i Jisu za na rangerange tadiria, za ari za guni vei aza za na tinoni za uke kale na tinina, <<Tuqu, mu varene! Ria na mua sela za qari tori taleozo tu,>> za guni.Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Ego tonai za kaki ria qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau za qari kole variparanga golomo makadi, <<Na tinoni ani za vamoroania na Tamaza ani!>> qari gua.On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Ba za tori gilagilainana tu i Jisu aza vei qari korapa roquroqua ria, ko ari za gudi vei, <<Ae za vei ko gamu roquroquria na zakazava ikikeredi veveidi zara pa bulomiu?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Ae za munyala: na poja vei, <Qari taleozo ria na mua sela,> bi gua, babi na poja vei, <Mu tatakole ko mu rerege,> bi gua?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Ba koviria ma vabatidigamu ara za na Tuna na Tinoni za kolenana nana neqi pa pezo ko mina taleozodi ria na sela,>> za gua aza. Beto ari za guni vei za na tinoni za uke kale na tinina, <<Mu turu! Mu pogozia na mua kolekolena ko mu kenimua pa mua ruma,>> za guni.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Nari za soqolo turu gu za na tinoni ko za keninana pa nana ruma.And the man got up and went home.

8Totonai qari batia za vei zara ria na minete tinoni nari qari matagutu beto qari vatarazaea za na Tamaza, ura na Tamaza za vani na tinoni za na neqi vevei zara.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Ego za taloi pa ia aza i Jisu ko za korapa lalaonana, za batia aza za maka tinoni tekuteku takisi, na izongona i Matiu, za korapa nyumunana pa nana ia roroitina aza. Ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Mae tutiziu ara,>> za guni nari za turu i Matiu ko za tutianana i Jisu.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Ko tonai za korapa nyumu tekuteku pa ruma ti Matiu i Jisu beto ko ria na nana sepele, za na motadi ria na tinoni tekuteku takisi beto ria na tinoni seladi qari somana nyumu tekuteku tavitia i Jisu beto ria nana sepele.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Ko qari batiria ria na Parese za qari vei aza, ko qari nanazaria ria na sepele ti Jisu, <<Ae za vei za tekuteku tavitiria tu ria na tinoni tekuteku takisi beto ria na tinoni seladi za na tinoni varivagigalai tadigamu?>> qari gua ria.When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Nari za nongoro vairia i Jisu, ko ari za gudi vei, <<Ria na tinoni toa valeadi za qarike nyaqoa za na tinoni varivarisalana, goto ria gu qari mo.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Mu lao ko mu nyaqoa na ginuana za na paranga za pojai na Tamaza pa Kutikuti Tabuna, ari za gua vei, <Na variroqu varitokai za qa nyoroguani ara, nake vavavavuidi na manugu mademade nenedi!,> za gua. Ura qake lame ara ko ma kukuria na tinoni tuvizidi qa gua, goto ria tu na tinoni seladi,>> za gua i Jisu.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Ego qari lao ria na sepele ti Jone, ko qari nanazia i Jisu, ari qari guni vei, <<Ae za vei ko gami gu beto ko ria na Parese za gami tabutabu ganigani, goto ria na sepele tamu za qarike tabutabu ganigani tu?>> qari gua.Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Nari za ari za gudi vei Jisu ria, <<Ae vei, pala mari kole takulanga pa vavolo varielava ria na tinoni tasorudi totonai za korapa nyumu tavitiria za na tinoni varielava? Dai! Ba za korapa lamelamenana za na rane totonai mina tateku varijo tadiria za na tinoni varielava ani, ko na totozo tu aza za mari suvere tabutabu ganigani ria.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16Kepore za maka tinoni mina tuvakani na poko koregana za na poko leluna. Vei mina vei nari za totonai mina vijongo za na poko koregana ani, nari za pala mina raqama valavatia za na poko leluna.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Beto kepore maka tinoni mina totoni na vaini koregana za na tototoni vaini leluna. Ura mina vei aza, nari za pala mina tapokata za na tototoni vaini leluna, ko mina tigitigi kijara keninana za na vaini. Goto na vaini koregana za mina tatoto lao tugu pa tototona koregana ko ari kori doru za mari takopu valeana beto,>> za gua i Jisu.Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Totonai za korapa paranga vei zara i Jisu, za kamu opo ovoro sori tungutungu pa moena aza za maka tiolata matamata tadiria na Jiu, ko ari za gua vei, <<Na tuqu maqota za koni uke gu, ba qa nyoroguanigo ko bu lame vaoponi na limamu ko bi toa mule qa gua,>> za gua aza.While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Nari za turu i Jisu beto ria na nana sepele ko qari tutia za na tinoni aza.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Ego maka reko aza za varajani na mo malea ko za kole gu vakeni orungu ka manogori aoro za tuti pa liguna ko za ulia za na uquna na poko ti Jisu.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21Za kole paraparanga golomo makana, <<Vei ba ulia gu nana poko, nari ba ba tasalanaqua gu ara,>> za gua.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Ko za balinga mule za gua i Jisu nari za batia za na reko, ko ari za guni vei, <<Mu varene, tuqu! Na mua rangerange za tori salanigo tu,>> za gua aza. Nari za na totozo tugu aza za tasalana gu za na reko aza.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Ego totonai za lao kamu pa ruma tana tiolata matamata i Jisu, nari za batiria aza ria na tinoni qari lukana popoelai na romaroma beto qari lukana kebokebo,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24za ari za gudi vei, <<Mu taloi kenimiu gamu! Ura zake uke za na reko peki ani, goto za korapa gu putagana!>> za gua. Tonai za paranga vei aza nari za qari auni ria doru tinoni aza.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Ko tonai qari votu beto pa peguru ria doru, za luge i Jisu ko za arua na limana na reko nari za tatakole za na reko.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Ko na nongorona na roiti ani za tapiara lekoia doruna na kota aza.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Ego totonai za taloi ketakoi i Jisu za kori tinoni nake batabatadi za qari tutia aza, ko qari velavela votu, ari qari gua vei, <<Tuna i Devita, mu roquroqu tokadigami,>> qari gua.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Tonai za luge pa ruma i Jisu nari za ari kori tinoni nake batabatadi ba qari lao tugu luge. Nari za nanazaria i Jisu, <<Ae vei, gamu vazozotoa tugu gamu kori za ara mana boka salanagamu gamu kori?>> za gudi. Nari za ari qari guni vei, <<E, Bangara!>> qari gua.After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Nari za uliria i Jisu za na matadi beto ari za gua vei, <<Aza vei gamu vazozotoa gamu kori za mi gore votu vadigamu!>> za gudi.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Nari za qari batabatadia tugu za na matadi ari kori. Beto za paranga vabalauria i Jisu ari kori, ari za gudi vei, <<Keta ule vadi ria na tinoni za na roiti ani,>> za gudi.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Ba qari taloi keni ari kori, ko qari vavavakatoni doru kota ketakoi za na veveina aza.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Ego pa ligudi gu qari keni ari kori ari, za qari toka kamuni tana ria kaki tinoni za maka tinoni za lugea na tomete ikikerena ko za poka.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Tonai za iju pale i Jisu za na tomete ikerena ani nari za podalai paranga gu za na tinoni aza. Ko qari gabara beto ria na minete tinoni, ko ari qari gua vei, <<Za oqoro pore tabata pa Izireli za na zakazava vevei ari,>> qari gua ria.And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Ba qari paranga ria na Parese, <<Na bangaradi gu ria na tomete ikikeredi za vani na neqi za boka iju paledi ria na tomete ikikeredi zana,>> qari gua ria.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Ego za rerege betoria i Jisu ria na guguzu lavalavatadi na guguzu pekipekidi. Ko za varivagigalai aza pa ruma varivarikamuna, za taraeni aza za na nongoro leana na veveina na binangara tana Tamaza, beto za salanaria aza ria na tinoni qari vavarajadi na okokoto mo na vagauru.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Totonai za dogoro laoria aza ria na minete tinoni, za roquroqu vitivitigiria, ura qari vevei rerege beto qari nyunyala vei na sipi kepore na dia sepati.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Nari ari za gudi vei ria na nana sepele, <<Qari matua nyanyalu ria na vuvua, ba ria na tinoni ababu za qari vizaviza gu.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Ko mu varavara lao tana Bangaradi na umuma, ko mi garunuria na tinoni roiti ko mari ababu pa nana inuma,>> za gua i Jisu.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
