Matthew 9 (JID)

1Yesu a ri ni ghuu nda rugran hi ni gbu ma.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Mena, ba nji indi ri wa a soo kpa'a nda kru ni tabli. Wa Yesu atoh kiekle yo suron mba, a tre ni ndi u soo kpa'a, “Vuvren ngri. ba wru latre me hlega niwu”.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.”

3U bi nha bari ba tre ni kpamba, “Iguyi ni latre”On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4U Yesu wa a toh imre sron mbaa' a tre “Bi ta' meme mre ngye nimi sron mbi?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Arime na he ni dii na ndu ba hla Ba wru latre me hlega 'Ka ndu bahla' wlunde ndi zren?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6To ni ndu yi toh ndi ivren indi a he ni ngbengble u wru latre u ngbugblu hle, A tre ni indi u soo kpaa', Wlunde ndi ban bubu u kru me ndi hi kohBut 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.”

7India ka wlunde nda hi ni koh.And the man got up and went home.

8Wa gbugbu ndi ba toh a he toyi, ma manji ma wakran, nda gbyre Irji san wa anno indi bii ngbengblen yi.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Yesu sihi nda ka toh ndi ri ni ko shishi wa ba yowu ndi Matiwu a son nitra u kpa ban. A hla wu, “Hume” A wlu huu.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.

10Yesu a kuson nda si'rli birli u bi kpa ban nibi latre gbugbu mbawu baye kuson nda rli bi' ni ba Yesu ni bi hu'a.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Wa Farisawa ba ba toh nayi, ba mye bihua, “Ani tu' ngye mba tiekoh mbi si rli ni bi kpa ban u bi latre?When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Yesu ka wo ba' nda tre, “e bi sikpa bana wa bi den na, ahi bi lilo mu.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13To bika mla toh nayi rli, 'Ime mi wa wruhle ana indu ni mu na. Mina ye ni tu bi he tsra tsra ana miye ni tu bi latre.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14U bi hu Yahaya baye niwu nda tre kieta ni ba Farisawa kie vu nyu u bi hua ba ba taka ngye rli nda na tie na?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?”

15Yesu a hla bawu, “Bi tie ndu nitra u logran baki ni kuklu nyu u indi u gran rli he ni ba? E, inton niye wa ba ban indi u logran niba. Nikiyi mba ba vunyu.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.

16Indi wa ani fon pli sama kanha ni cice nklon na tie to kie ni yba nklon zan u mumlaNo 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.

17Indi bana sru imma sa u inabi nimi mbu ntan kmo mana. Bata tie toki, intan aniyra tie meme nda ju'mma hlega. Toyi, ba sru mma sa' u inabi nimi mbuntan sa may tie towa na ndu ba yra tu hamba wuna”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.”

18Yesu si tre ni ba u ndi ri wa ani mnkon ndi ba aye kuqu niwu. A tre, “Vrenwamu quu zazanyi, yeme ndi sawo wu ni ndu wlunde”.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.”

19U Yesu Wlunde hu hi ni mrli koh ma ba ngame.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Uwa ri ingarli wa azi juju tie se wlon don ha, a bleye konkon Yesu, nda kpyre nyu nklonma.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21“ A tre ni sronma, Mita kpyre nklon ma mi fe si.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Yesu a k'maya nda toh wu nda tre, “Vrenwa mu, vu sron. Kikle yo sron me nnowu si”. Ni nton kima me afe si.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Wa Yesu ari ni koh ninkon ndi mba, nda toh bi vrli ngba ni j'bu ndi baki hanton.When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24A tre “Hiyi, e vrenwa na quu na, asi kru na “ U baka zanwu u kpa tsri.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Wa ba ndu ndi barjuhi raa', a rihi mitraa nda vu wo vren wa nji, u vrenwa wlunde.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Itre yi ka yan shu ni nh'ma kokii.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Yesu rji ki zren y'ba sihi, u bi fyen harli bari baka hu, nda kla nglo nyu nda nitre,”Ivren Doda, to yah mbu ndi zota”.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Yesu a ri hi ni koh rie u bi fyen ba baka wawu hi. Yesu hla bamu, “Bi kpay'me ndi mihe ngbengble utie tomba?” U baka kpay'me, 'e' Baci”.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.

29U Yesu ka kpyre shishi mba nda tre, “Ndu he yiwu na wa bi yo sron mbi a.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30U shishi mba baka bwu'. Yesu a mha ba nda tre, “Na ndu ndio wowa na.”And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Ma'memu, bahi nda ka bla tre kangon nklan kima.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Wa bi fyen ba ba hia, baka nji indi u con l'me u me'me' brji yeni Yesu.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Wa a cu me'me' brji rju ni niwu a, indi u con l'mea katre. J'bu ndii baka manji ma wakran, ndatre, “kae, bii kpye yi bana toh wu ni Israila na!”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!”

34U fansawa ba baka tre, “E a ni rju me'me' brji ba ni ngbenglen u chu bi brjii.”But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Yesu a zren kagon gbu bi rlig ra ni bi tsitsa ba wawuu. Azi tsro tre Rji ni tra Rji, nda zi bla lan zizi u mwkai nda den bi kru kpa ni lilo bla wo.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Wa a toh kpentren ndii ba, a ka tie wie me ni tie yah' ni qungble mba. Bana he na nta'ma wa ba hama ni ndii u k'maba.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37A hla ni mrli koh ma, birli hi gbugbu, wa, u bi ndu ba ba fyi meyi.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Ahe nayi bika bre Baci u birli gbagbla me ni ndu tru bindu ba hi.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
