Matthew 12 (IDC)

1Akyua ra ni, iYesu wor kọ ọka ija alkama ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa. Atina nga kọọ idafo, na aba dẹẹ kọ kẹr akwyi alkama na la.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2AFarisiyawa ya nu kindọ ni, aba tẹri nga si, “Nu, atina ngọ su ju imumani umẹẹ iMusa kiya wọ ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa.”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Aba ju bọ si, “Inu ta kọ pila nọ imumani iDauda ju ka akyua na akọọ idafo, kina aghọmani ashi kini nga,Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4umani aghila idẹ ọna Ọnọng ki ya la ubiredi na akyo si, ba aghọmani aki la ba, inga kina ayikyo ukyeng nga, si ifirist ka yu nga.He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Ta inu kọ pila nọ umẹẹ iMusa, umani afirist kidẹ ọna ọnọng ka ju uma ijirija ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa ni uta shi wu uvulu kukushi bọ ba?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Imẹ sọ tẹri nu, imumani icẹẹ ọna ọnọng yẹ kọ kẹẹ.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Inu ta kọ ye imumani udii sọ yeni ni, ‘Ahwoo kọ ni iwang, ba uma ẹrẹkwyuẹ ba,’ inu ta kọ nu nọ aghọ taa uvulu nu vulu ba.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Ka Anọ Ajiya nga shi Ate Awii uwuru aYahudawa.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9IYesu ba ya ukadu ki kyaa ọkọ takwyuẹ aYahudawa bọ.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Ace ajiya shi ya kọ ukadu aghọ uwẹ ni avọ. Aba ghulu nga si, “Ushi ọdọma mani ama ọkyuọ ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa?” Ibọ wang umani apeni nga nọ uvulu.and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Aba ju bọ si, “Inga kidẹ nọ nga shi na atẹm ni akpaa kidẹ uhwo ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa ni ata ki woo nga ngaa ba?He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Utina ajiya ta cẹẹ wu unga atẹm nagigang ba? Kindọ ni, ọsọ ọdọdọma na ju ima ididuma ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Aba tẹri ajiya nga si, “Nawa avọng.” Aba nawa, ka akyua ra ni avọ nga ba ọkyuọ kini adaa avọ ni.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Ni aFarisiyawa ba kunu bọ ki ya pii umani aki pii iYesu kọ.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15IYesu ya kpẹlẹ kindii ni, aba sang nga kọ ukadu. Ajiya na pam ba yii nga, na aba ma bọ ọkyuọ nadidu bọ.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Aba waa atọng bọ si aba tẹri aghọ ila nga ba.warning them not to make Him known.

17Aju udii ka ahwura upii na atẹri ka anyu aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng Ishaya si,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Agira ni imẹ hwiya wẹ, aghọmani imẹ yoo ni imẹ ka kọọ uhwai nga nagigang. Imẹ ki sa nga na aghing mi, aki tẹri aghọmani ashi bọ aYahudawa ba ashuwa aipang.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Aki la nga inang ba, ko na pii ni ẹrẹkyuọ ba, aki ba kọọ bọ ẹrẹwyuẹ nga ka utra ba.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Aki wra nga ushi iriguu umani uya sang wra wọ ba, ugha ọgbẹlẹmọ ni uya sang ukpo wọ ni, aki pii nga kọ ba, asọ sa aipang ka lite;A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21aghọmani ashi bọ aYahudawa ba ki sa ikwyi kidẹ nọ uca nga.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Aba nga na afoo umani aka pii nga ba aghọ shi nọ ushẹẹ, ni aba ma nga ọkyuọ na ajiya nga pii ki ba nu.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Ni ajiya nadidu ba wo ica na asi, “Anọ iDauda wẹ ri ba?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Ni aFarisiyawa ya kọọ kindii ni aba ju si, “Akyuọ uBalzabul agọm nọ ushẹẹ kọ ni ajiya ri si wuli ushẹẹ kọ.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25IYesu ye uma ushi kidẹ ikwyi, na aba ju bọ si, “Nadidu ẹrẹgọm ni ikau uka upai nọ sọ irisho kina ace ni, ita ki tara wu ba. Ba ifọng nọ ọna umani ajiya nga kau uka upai nọ sọ ju irisho kina ace ni iki tara.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Insi ishẹẹ woo ishẹẹ, asọ kọrọ kina ẹrẹkwẹ nga wudu. Nagyi kọ ni ẹrẹgọm nga ki tara wu?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Insi imẹ ka wuli ushẹẹ na ẹrẹgọrọ uBalzabul ni, aghọyii nọ ni? ẹrẹgọrọ inga wọ na sọ wuli wọ? Aghọyii nu bọ ki wa nu ashuwa kaya uma ri.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Insi ẹrẹgọrọ Aghing Ọnọng kọ ni imẹ wuli ushẹẹ kọ ni, ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng ba nu wudu.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Ta nagyi wọ ni aghọ ki ghila ọna agha ẹrẹkyuọ kaya yẹri uma nga, inbasi azọnọ lor agha ẹrẹkyuọ ba? Na tọ biya yẹri uma ọna ba.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30Nadidu aghọmani ashi kini mẹ ba ni, ashi asho mi, ni aghọmani a curu nga kini mẹ ba ni, asọ furu wu.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Kindii ni imẹ sọ tẹri nọ, aki cira uvulu nu kọ kwiligba ighọ kina ajiya umani apii ububi, aghọmani apii ububi kaya Aghing Ọnọng ni, aki yira bọ ọlọkpaa nga ba.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Ni aghọmani apii ububi kaya Anọ Ajiya ni, aki yira ọlọkpaa nga, aghọmani apii ububi kaya Aghing Ọnọng ni, aki yira bọ ọlọkpaa nga ba, ko akyua ri ko akyua uki ba.”Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33“Ushi ọdọdọma ka ma ikọlọ ididuma, ọshẹ ububi ka ma ikọlọ ibibi ka aka kpẹlẹ ọshẹ ki ikọlọ nga.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Inu iyọọ na kang! Nagyi wọ ni inu ki biya utẹri upii ọdọdọma ni inu si shi agha akakiya? Ima ushii kidẹ ikwyi yọ ni anyu ka tẹri.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Ajiya adaduma ni, ọka ukyo uma ọdọdọma wọ na aka woo ima ididuma wọ. Ajiya akakiya ni, uka ukyo uma akakiya wọ ni aka woo akakiya wọ.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36Imẹ sọ tẹri nọ, nadidu uma ijirija na ajiya pii ni, aki pila bọ ka awii ashuwa,But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37ka uma utẹri ngọ bọ na aki wa ashuwa ngọ wọ, ni uma utẹri ngọ bọ na aki ma ngọ uvulu ngọ wọ.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Ni ace aghọmẹẹ umẹẹ iMusa kina aFarisiyawa ba yira nga si, “Aghọmẹẹ, ayọ wang nu amaa kukushi ngọ.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Aba yira bọ si, “Agha akakiya kina aghọ ju uma ẹrẹnọma ka wang nu amaa, ni ba amaa umani aki ma inbasi anga aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng iYunusa ba ni.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Kọnọ umani iYunusa la awii atai kina atii atai kidẹ afo itagbo ighighẹ ni, kindii wu ni Anọ Ajiya ki la awii atai wọ kina atii atai kidẹ ikwyi asing ri.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Ajiya Anineba ki sang ka awii ashuwa kina agha akyakyua ra ka ama bọ uvulu, ka alọkpaa nọ upii Ọnọng iYunusa, kindii ni, imumani cẹẹ iYunusa shi kọ kẹẹ.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

42Ayiri agọm, iSheba ki sang ka awii ashuwa kina agha akyakyua ra ka ama agha aikyuari uvulu, ka aba ka ushẹẹ aya ka aba kọọ umẹẹ uye ukwuu iSulemanu, kindii ni, imumani cẹẹ iSulemanu shi kọ kẹẹ.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43“Insi aghing ababi kunu kidẹ ajiya ni, aka wor kyaa uka umani ba amusumu ya ba ka aya wuru, insi apeni nga ba ni,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44aki ju si, ‘Imẹ ki vuwa mi ọna ni imẹ kunu wọ.’ Insi aya ba ni, aki ba peni ọna ni ka aghọ ya ba, akọ yẹr wọ ki ker wọ,Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45aki ba vuwa ka aya ba na aghing atinsara umani acẹẹ nga na akakiya, ni aki ghila ka aci kọ ukadu, ni ushii ajiya nga ki cẹẹ unga akyua nọ ububi. Kindii wu ni uki shii wu ka ajiya kakiya akyua ri.”Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Asọ pii kina ajiya nga ni, ayuru nga kina anayuru nga va ba tara kọ seshi, awang pii kini nga.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Ace aghọ ba tẹri nga si, “Ayuru ngọ kina anayuru shi kọ seshi, awang pii kini ngọ.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Aba yira ajiya na atẹri nga si, “Inga shi ayuru mi, inga bọ shi anayuru mi?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Aba nawa avọ ka atina nga ki ju si, “Ayuru mi wẹ kina anayuru mi!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Nadidu aghọmani aju imumani ate mi ka aYaya sa uju ni, anga shi anayuru mi, kina afọọ mi, kina ayuru mi.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
