Matthew 12 (MNI)

1Madugi matung ikui kuidana nongma potthaba numit amada Jisuna mahei maronggi loubuk phaoduna chatlammi. Amasung Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna mapuk lamladuna gehu charong heklaga chaba hourammi.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.

2Aduga Pharisee-singna madu ubada Ibungoda hairak-i, “Yeng-u, nahakki tung-inbasingna potthaba numitta mahei-marong hektuna Wayel Yathang thugaire!”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “David amadi mahakka loinabasingna mapuk lamlabada David-na kari toukhibage haiba adu nakhoina Mapugi puyada padabra?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Matou karamna mahakna Mapugi sangda changduna mahak amasung mahakka loinabasing aduna purohitsing khaktana chaba yaba Tengban Mapuda katpa asengba tal adu chakhibage haibadu nakhoina padabra?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.

5Aduga Mapugi Sanglenda thougal touba purohitsingna potthaba numit khudinggi potthabagi wayel adu thugairabasu makhoi maral leite haiba adu nakhoina Moses-ki Wayel Yathangda padabara?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Eina nakhoida hairibasini, Mapugi Sanglen asidagi henna chaoba ama mapham asida lei.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Aduga, ‘Eina pambadi chanbiheiba aduni, iratpot adu natte’ haiba Mapugi puyagi wa asigi wahanthok nakhoina khanglamlabadi, nakhoina maral leijadabasing adubu lalhallamloidabani.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Maramdi Migi Machanupa adu potthaba numitki Mapuni.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Adudagi Jisuna mapham adu thadoktuna makhoigi synagogue-ta chatlammi.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Mapham aduda makhut nama pangtha-sithaduna naba nupa ama leirammi. Aduga Jisubu maral piba yanaba Pharisee-sing aduna Jisuda hanglak-i, “Potthaba numitta anaba phahanbasi Moses-ki Wayel Yathangna yabara?”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?”

11Maduda Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoigi naraktagi kanagumba amagi yao ama potthaba numitta kom amada tarabadi, mahakna madubu paiduna loukhatloidra?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?

12Adu oirabadi mina yaodagi kayada henna mamal leiba helliba? Maram aduna, eikhoina potthaba numitta aphaba touba wayel yathangna yai.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Adudagi Ibungona makhut nama pangtha-sithaba nupa aduda hairak-i, “Nahakki nakhut adu tingthok-u.” Maduda nupa aduna makhut adu thingthokcharammi amasung makhut adu atoppa makhut nama adugumna pungpha phajare.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.

14Adudagi Pharisee-sing aduna chatkhiduna Jisubu karamna hatsige haiduna wa tanarammi.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Adubu Jisuna madu khangbadagi mapham adudagi chatthokkhirammi. Aduga yamlaba miyamna Ibungogi tung injarammi. Amasung Ibungona makhoi pumnamakki anaba phahanbirammi,Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Adubu mahakki maramda mi kanadasu haidokkanu haiduna makhoida yathang pirammi.warning them not to make Him known.

17Masi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Isaiah-na haikhiba wa adu thungnanabani:This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Yeng-u, eina khandoklaba eigi inai, Eigi thawaina penjariba, eigi nungsithoiraba. Eina mahakki mathakta eigi thawai pibigani, Amasung mahakna atoppa phurupsingda eigi achumba wayel laothokkani.“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.

19Mahakna khatna-cheinabasu touroi, lao khongbasu touroi, Aduga lambisingda kananasu mahakki khonjel taroi.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Puraktriphaoba mahakna, achumba wayelna lanngambadu, Thudekloi mahakna, kontharaba singwutpu, Mutthatloi mahakna, mutsi mutsi chakliba thaomeibu,A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Aduga Ibungo mahakki mingda, thamjagani asa mipum khudingmakna.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Adudagi mi kharana mamit tangba aduga marolsu thoktaba lai phattaba changba nupa amabu Jisugi nakta purakle. Aduga Jisuna mahakpu phahanbiduna mahakna wa ngangba amasung uba ngamjare.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.

23Maduda miyam pumnamak aduna ngaklduna hairak-i, “Mahak asibu David-ki Machanupa adu oigadouribra?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Adubu touribasing adu tarabada Pharisee-singna hairak-i, “Mahakna phattaba thawaibu tanthokpa natte, adubu lai phattabasinggi mapu Satan-gi mapanna tanthokpani.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Maduda Jisuna makhoina khalliba adu khangladuna makhoida hairak-i, “Leibak manungda tokhai tokhai tanaduna amaga amaga khatnaduna leiriba leibak khudingmak mang takkani. Aduga tokhai tokhai tanaba sahar nattraga imung khudingmak amata oina kuina leptuna leiba ngamloi.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.

26Aduga Satan-na Satan-bu tanthoklabadi, mahak masamakki manungda tokhai tajare. Adu oirabadi mahakki leibak adu karamna panba ngamgadage.If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Aduga eina Beelzebul-gi mapanna lai phattaba tanthoklabadi, nahakki misingnadi kanagi mapanna makhoibu tanthokpage? Maram aduna nahak nasamakki tung-inbasingna nahak lali haibadu utchare.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Adubu Tengban Mapugi Thawaigi mapanna eina lai phattabasingbu tanthoklabadi, Tengban Mapugi leibak adu nakhoigi nathakta laklabani.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29“Aduga panggal kanba nupa amabu haanna punduna phajinba nattanadi kanana mahakki yumda changduna mahakki mapot macheisingdu munduna lougadage? Mahakna nupa adubu pullaba matung khaktada mahakki mapot macheisingdu munduna puba ngamgani.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“Eibu yadaba mahak aduna eigi mayokta lei; aduga eiga loinana khomjinbagi thabak touminnadaba mahak aduna madubu chaikhai.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Maram aduna eina nakhoida hairibasini, pap khuding amasung thina ngangba khudingmakpu kokpigani; adubu kanagumbana Thawai Asengbagi mathakta thina nganglabadi mahakpu kokpiroi.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Aduga Migi Machanupa adugi mathakta wa ngangba mahak adubu kokpigani, adubu Thawai Asengbagi mathakta ngangba mahak adubu houjikki mirol asidasu aduga lakkadaba miroldasu kokpiroi.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“Upal amagi masak mahakna palliba mahei aduna tak-i. Upal aduna pharabadi mahakki mahei adusu phagani adubu upal aduna phattrabadi mahakki mahei adusu pharoi.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.

34He lilgi chada-naodasa, nakhoina phattaba mi oiraga karamna nakhoina aphaba wa nganggani? Maramdi thamoinungda thanna leiribasing adu chinbalna ngangthok-i.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Aphaba mina mahakki aphaba thamoigi pukeidagi aphaba adu puthok-i, aduga phattaba mina mahakki phattaba thamoigi pukeidagi phattaba adu puthok-i.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“Aduga eina nakhoida hairibasini madudi nakhoina ngangkhiba warem khudingmakki maram nakhoina wayenbagi numit aduda pigadabani.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Maramdi nahakna ngangkhiba waheising adugi matung-inna nahakpu chumhanbigani nattraga nahakpu lalhan-gani.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Adudagi nongma Wayel Yathanggi oja khara amadi Pharisee-sing kharana Jisugi nakta laklaga hairak-i, “Oja nangondagi eikhoina angakpa khudam khara uning-i.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Maduda Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Phattaba amadi thajaba yadaba mironna angakpa khudam thi! Adubu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Jonah-gi khudam adu nattana atoppa khudam amata nakhoida piroi.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Maramdi Jonah-na achouba nga adugi puknungda ahing ahum nungthil ahum leikhibagum, Migi Machanupa adunasu malem leisanungda ahing ahum nugthil ahum leigani.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.

41Amasung wayenbagi numitta Nineveh-gi misingna ngasigi miron asiga lepminnagani aduga miron asibu lalhan-gani. Maramdi Jonah-na pao sandokpa matamda makhoina paptagi pukning hongjakhi; aduga eina nakhoida hairi madudi Jonah-dagi henna chaoba ama mapham asida leiri!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.

42Aduga wayenba numitta Sheba leibakki leimarembina ngasigi miron asiga lepminnagani aduga miron asibu lalhan-gani; maramdi mahakna ningthou Solomon-gi lousinggi wa tanaba mahakki laplaba maramdamdagi lakkhi; aduga eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairi madudi Solomon-dagi henna chaoba ama mapham asida leiri adubu nakhoina tade!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“Phattaba thawai amana mi amadagi thoklakpa matamda mahakna potthapham thiduna leikanglagi maphamsingda koina chatli. Aduga mahakna mapham phangdrabada,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44mathanta asumna haijei, ‘Eina thoklakkhiba yum aduda ei amuk hallage.’ Aduga mahakna hallakpa matamda yumdu ihang hangna, sittok-sengdoktuna ningthina thamlamba adu ure.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.

45Adudagi mahakna amuk chatkhiduna mangondagi henna phattaba thawai taret purakle, aduga makhoina mi aduda changduna mapham aduda leire. Aduga mi adugi akonbagi phibam adu hanna oiramba phibam adudagi yamna henna phalaktre. Matou asumna phattaba miron asidasu oigani.”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.”

46Adudagi Jisuna miyam aduda wa nganglingeida, mahakki mama amasung machin manaosingna mangonda wa khara hainingbadagi mapanda leptuna leirammi.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Aduga kanagumba amana Ibungoda hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, Ibungogi ima amasung inaosingna Ibungoda wa hainingbadagi mapanda leptuna leiri.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Maduda Ibungona nupa aduda hairak-i, “Eigi ima kanano? Aduga eigi ichin- inaosing haibasina kanabuno?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Adudagi Ibungona mahakki tung-inbasingda khut thilladuna hairak-i, “Yeng-u! Makhoising asi eigi ima amasung eigi ichin inaosingni!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Maramdi swargada leiriba Ipagi aningba touriba makhoising adu eigi ichin-inao, iche-ichan amasung eigi imani.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
