Matthew 8 (JID)

1Wa yesu a krji rji ni ngblu a, indi gbugbuhu ba huu.When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2U indi ri u lilo nkpurju ye ku kru niwu nda tre, “Baci, uta ny'me uka mla me tie tsratsra me.Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3Yesu a rima wo hi ka kpre nda tre, “mi nyme. Katie tsratsra” Nikiyi me, wa aka fe den u lilo ka kleJesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4Yesu a hla wu, na tre u hla kpie ri ni ndio na. Hi kpame, ndi hi tsro tume ni Firist, ndi nno kpie wa Musa tre'a ndu hi ngban ni bawu.Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

5Asi hi nimi kapanahum u jirmi ri ye niwu nda bre wu, nda tre,When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6“Baci, igranmu a qukpa kru si tie ya ni koh mu.“Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7U yesu hla wu, “mihi denwu”“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8U jirni a kasawu nda tre, “Baci, mi na mla wa u ye ni koh muna. Hla trea' megyen din ndu granmu fe den.The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9E ime ngame mihe ni wo ndi ri, me he ni soja bi ti ndu ni' womu. Mi hla ni ri, hi, waka yi uni ri mi hla wie, 'ye' waka ye, ndi hla ni granmu, tie kpieyi, waka tiewu.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

10Wa yesu a wowuu, a hla ni bi hu'a, “Njanjimu me hla yiwu, mina to ndi u bii sron towa ni Israila na.When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

11Mi hla yiwu, indi gbugbu bu baye rji ni ko yalu nda rli biri ni ba Ibrahim mba Ishaku, ni Yakubu ni mulki shulu.I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12U mrli wa ba u mulkia, ba vuba tasru nimi kplakpa bwuu. Nikii ba yii nda tan nyinyren”But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13Yesu a hla ni jirmia, “Hi, ndu he niwu towa u yo sron a” ni nton ki me, igran ma a fe sikpa.Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

14Wa yesu a ri ni koh Bitrua, a toh yi' Bitrua kru kpa.When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15Yesu a kpyre wo' ma u lokpa ka kle waka wlunde nda tie ndu niwu.So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16Wa yalu tie a ba nji gbugbu ndi be he ni brji ye ni Yesu. Ni tre megyen a ju brji rju ni ndi ba nda den bi lilo ba wawuu.When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17Toyii itre anabi Ishaya ye ku ngyre me wa a hla, “Wawu yi vu krukpa mbu nda den mba lilo mbu ba.This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18Niwa Yesu a toh gbugbu ndi baa gaklen ma, a hla ni bawu ndu ba ru mah Galilia hi gran korima.When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

19U ndi u nha ri ye hla wu, “Mala, mi huu hi ko mame (ko ni ntsenyi)”And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20Yesu a saa niwu, “Itsi' bahe ni juju mba cincen bahe ni koh mba, U ivren ndi yi na he ni bubu u yo tu'mana.Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

21Ivren koh ma ri a hla wu, “Baci ndu mi hi rju' tieme rli.Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22U Yesu hla ni wu, “Hu me, don k'bon ba ndu ba rju k'bon mba”.But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23Wa Yesu ri nimi jirgi (ghuu) a, mrli koh ma baka ri huu.When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24U kikle nghunghu ri ka wlu fu nitu kikle maa, inda shi dakpyren kah ghuu a. Yesu si kruna kpye ma.Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

25U mrli koh ma bahi ka sh'me u, nda tre, “kpata cuwo, Baci, kie qua!The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26Yesu a hla bawu, “Bi kpon sisri ngye towa biyi bi tsitsa sron? “A wlunde nda yra ha ni a wlunde nda kpa nha ni nghunghu a mba kikle maa. U bubua katie wieri me.“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

27Indi ba ba mhanji ma wakran nda tre,” ahi ndi bitan toyi, wa nghunghu me ni wowuu a?”The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

28Wa Yesu aye rji ni nhma ko rima u meme Garasinawa, indi harli bari bi meme brji ba rju ye niwu. Bata rju rji ni bubu be ba nda ta vravu kpukpome u indi bana ta zu nkan kima ngana.When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29Ba yragro na tre, “kie he ngye utie niwu, iwu vren Irji? Inton na tie me rlina u uye tie ta yah ni wa?“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30Gbugbu lede bari sia rli wiewiere ni ba nikii.In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31U meme brji ba si bre Yesu nda tre uti zuta rjuu, uka truta ri ni mi gbugbu lede biyi.So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32Yesu ahla ni bawu, “Hi!” Ibrji ba barju nda ri nimi lede ba; u mle, gbugbu lede ba ba sra tsugrji ngblu'a nda ka kuhle nimi kickle ma nda quu wawuu bawu.“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33Indi bi kma lede ba, ba tsutsu hi ni migbu nda ka blatre a wawuu ni bawu u njima, ikpie wa atie bi meme brji ba.Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

34U ndi bi gbuba baka rju wawu mba wu nda ye ni Yesu. Nitowu, ba brewu ndu hi don meme mba ni bawuThen the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
