Matthew 12 (MGH2016)

1Yeyo ikatema iyo, Yesu aari aviraka variyari imata cho ingaano Nihuku no Wiittuwa. Owiittucha awe aari anawolhiye ithalha, nkayontha machashi o ingaano ni ukhuura imbeyu chaya.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.

2Amafarisayo yooneke chiicho, nkayaamwirelha Yesu, “Mwooneke, owiittucha inyu anopanga ittu ichiichihiye ni Malhehero wiira ihipangiye Nihuku no Wiittuwa!”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Yesu nkaakhulha, “Chani mwaatti khannashoma chaapannge aya Adaudi vamoka ni ashikhunanaya vaawolhiye aya ithalha?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Ahokelha Inupa ya Nlhuku, anene vamoka ni ashikhunanaya nkayaalhia mikatte chaakumihiye isadaka wa Nlhuku, inakhalhaka yaari ahittwaraka Malhehero a ashinna Musa wo ulhia chechiyo mikatte chiyo. Ukhalhawaya opochera ishaani vekha aya phi ahaachiichihiya ulhia.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.

5Ama chani, khanashoma nhina Malhehero wiira kila Nihuku no Wiittuwa attu opochera ishaani wi Inupa ya Nlhuku ari ahivaraka malhehero o Nihuku no Wiittuwa, nansho ahiirelhiyaka wiira ahotteka?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Paahi, kinouhimeriani vano wiira hawo vaa ntu ri mulhupalhe upwaha Inupa ya Nlhuku.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Malhove Matakatifu aneera, ‘Ikiriri phi nothanana aka ni mena kihiwe isadaka ya ashinama.’ Mwachuwelhaka maana aya, khannaahukumulha attu ahittekilhe,If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8ukhalhawaya Mwaana a Ntu phi Mwanene Nihuku no Wiittuwa.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Yesu ahothama vavawo nkaakelha mu inupa yo unlhapelha Nlhuku,Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10mwaari awe ntu mmoka o moono wo uririyacha. Attu yaathanana umwootheria Yesu wiira hotteka, nkayankoha, “Chani, vahorera unlhamiha ntu Nihuku no Wiittuwa?”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?”

11Yesu nkaakhulha, “Mpani munlhokoni mwinyu ikhondoro awe yawulhuwelhaka munlhikitini Nihuku no Wiittuwa, hinorwaa ni ukumiha munlhikitini mmo?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?

12Ntu phi ri o waalhakelhelhiya chinene upwaha ikhondoro! Paahi etu, khanichiichihiye umoopolha ntu Nihuku no Wiittuwa.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Amalheke nkaamwirelha ntu o moono wo uririyacha ulhe, “Wookolheke moono awo.” Nkookolha, ni uyo nkawaakhalha nkumi tho, thoko moono nkina uyo.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.

14Paahi etu Amafarisayo nkayaakhumacha vathe, nkayeewanana iphiro yo umwiiva Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Nansho Yesu vaachuwenlhe awe nenno nlhove nno, nkaathama vavawo vakitu vawo, ni attu enchi nkayanttwara. Nkaalhamiha areta onkhayeAware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16nkaalhehera wiira ahaahimerie attu akina yayo malhove ayo.warning them not to make Him known.

17Enre chiicho wiira malhove aahimiye ni Nlhuku wo iphiro ya anamilhohi ashinna Isaya atimire,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Ulha phi namitheko aka kinthanlhe aka, Nonttuna aka, nokiteelhiha munrimani. Kinonruma Iphumu aka vachulhu vawe, Ni uyo nouhimeriani ihukumu aka wa ahiri Ayahudi onkhaye.“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.

19Khanokhalha ni nikhanyerero mena khannyakulha, Mena nlhove nawe khaninewaniaa mmaphironi.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Khanontha nthalhe unyakathelhe, Mena khantiphiha utambi unottuwa mwiishi. Nolhokelha mpaka vanohalha awe uhimeriani ihukumu aka wa makosho onkhaye,A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Wo yoyo, makosho onkhaye anoowa aakhulhuvelha nchina nawe.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Vavawo attu nkayanrwehelha Yesu ntu mmoka o hoona ni uhulhumacha aattukiye ni nshoka no unanara. Yesu nkanlhamiha, nkoolhumacha ni woona.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.

23Nlhoko wa attu nkawoomiya uwanoni nkayeera, “Chani, nowooria ulha ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Amafarisayo yeeweke ulha mwaha ulha, nkayeera, “Ulha ntu ulha noomolha mashoka wo ikuru yo Belzebuli, nholhelhi o mashoka o unanara.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Yesu nkaachuwelha choopuwelha aya munrimani, nkeerelha, “Imwene iriyoothe imianelhe milhoko miilhi chihineewanana, yeyo khinolhokelha. Ni iwani iriyoothe ama nikosho niriyoothe nimianne milhoko milhoko chihineewanana inowulhuwa.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.

26Yakhalhaka umwene mmoka unaatakana ni umwene nkina wo machiri a Nakare, yoyo uhomalha umwalhaana unowulhuwa!If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Mwaattiva nneera eti kinoomolha mashoka wo ikuru yo Belzebuli. Chani, owiittucha inyu etu anoomolha wo ikuru ya apani? Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo yayo phi nohalha uhukumulhani wiira nhotteka!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Mena kahiwe Nakare, nansho Iphumu ya Nlhuku, phi nokivaha ikuru yo woomolha mashoka, uhimiechesha wiira, Umwene wa Nlhuku uhooweelhani mwaattiva.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29“Wo ikekhiaye, khaawo ntu nooria ukelha inupa ya ntu o machiri ni umwaakha nhakhu awe, mpaka anttukeke thoko ntu o machiri uyo, vavawo pinohalha awe wooria umwaakha nhakhu awe.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.

30“Ntu riyothe hirii vamoka ni mii yoyo nookivinga, ntu hinokikaviha ukhungura yoyo noomwarusha.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Ni mii kinouhimeriani wiira attu anoohiyereriya uwonya ni ulhava waya wonkhaye, nansho khanowa aahiyereriya nlhatu wo unruwana Iphumu ya Nlhuku.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Ntu riyoothe noolhumacha nlhove no unlhava Mwaana a Ntu nohiyereriya, nansho ntu noolhumacha nlhove no unlhava Iphumu ya Nlhuku, khanohiyeriya, mwiilhaponi mu, mena ilhapo inowa.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“Wiira mpatte maphepu oombone nnothananiya waalha mwiri wookonda, mwiri waahikondeke, maphepu aya khanolhoka. Mwiri unochuwaniaa chineera aya wo wimma.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.

34Mwaati iyari yo inwaa vaa nnohalha wooria chani uhimia malhove oombone uno nnari o uhilhoka? Ukhalhawaya malhaku a ntu anohimia chittu chiri munrimani.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Ntu o nrima woombone noyara chittu choombone munhakhuni mwo chittu chawe choombone, ni ntu o uhilhoka noyara chittu cho uhilhoka munhakhuni mwawe mwo uhilhoka mmo.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.

36“Paahi, kinouhimeriani nchuwelhe wiira, Nihuku no Uhukumulhiya attu, kila ntu nowa aakhulha vachulhu wo kila nlhove no uhikhalha marumbo noolhumanche awe.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Malhove inyu phi nohalha uhukumulhani wiira nhotteka ama nhopanga moombone.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Yamalheke, owiittuchiha Malhehero akina ni Amafarisayo nkayanlhelha Yesu, “Owiittuchiha, ninothanana woona mpangaka ithikineha.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Yesu nkaakhulha, “Mwinre chani attu o uhilhoka o ulhuva va! Nnovekelha woona cho ushangiha? Mena! Ithikineha inohalha inyu woonihiya iri ya anamilhohi Nayona vekha aya.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Iphiro yaakhanlhe aya Nayona mahuku mararu uthana ni uhiyu mmirimani mwo nankumi, phi chiicho Mwaana a Ntu chinohalha awe ulhokelha unaminepa wuuthi ilhapo mahuku mararu uthana ni uhiyu.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.

41Nihuku no Uhukumulhiya attu, attu o Uninavi anowa weemelha ni uhimia milhatu chinyu, ukhalhawaya ahomalha ukhoroma ni uhiya uwonya veewilhe aya nttenga u Nayona, ni mii vano kinouhimeriani wiira hawo mulhupalhe vaa naapwaha Nayona!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.

42Nihuku no Uhukumulhiya attu nno, Ahano o Usheeba anowa weemelha ni uhimiacha milhatu chinyu, ukhalhawaya yayo aheeta ukhuma utayi, nkaawa wiiwelhelha malhove o irusho a Naselemani. Nansho kinouhimeriani wiira vaa hawo ri mulhupalhe waapwaha Naselemani!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“Nshoka no unanara vanoomolhiya aya mwiiruttuni mwa ntu, ninoovira naarukureriacha muuthakoni naaviaka vakittu vo wiittuwa. Naahooneke,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44vavawo phi neera aya, ‘Kinohokolhiaa unupani waka.’ Kuhokolhiaka ni uphwanya inupa mwaari, inakwechiye ni urerihiya.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.

45Phi norwaa aya ni waakusha mashoka makina saba o uhilhoka upwaha uyo, nkayaawacha ni ukhalha mwiiruttuni mwa ntu uyo. Vanomalha aya, ukumi wa ntu uyo vano unokhalha wo unanara upwaha khalhayi. Phi chiicho chinohalha aya ukhalha wa attu o uhilhoka a alha mahuku alha.”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.”

46Yesu aari olhumachaka ni nlhoko wa attu ikatema anumwane ni ashilhoko awe vaawilhe aya. Nkayeemelhacha vathe, athananaka umulhumana.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Paahi ntu mmoka nkaamwirelha, “Nkoonani, anumwaninyu ni ashihima inyu arii vathe vawo, anothanana uwoonani.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Nansho Yesu nkaakhulha, “Anumwanaka phi apani? Ashilhoko aka phi apani?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Amalheke nkaathonya owiittucha awe, nkeera, “Mwooneke alha va! Alha phi manyaanumwanaka ni ashilhoko aka!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Ukhalhawaya ntu riyoothe nopanga chinothanana aya Athithi ari wiirimu, yoyo phi nhima aka ni mwanrokoraka ni phi anumwanaka.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
