Matthew 12 (RUP)

1Tu atsel chiro Isusul ma tritsea unã Sãmbãtã prit siminãturili cu grãn. Sh-ucenitsilji a lui, agiunji, apãrnjirã s-arupã schicuri shi s-li mãcã.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.

2Ma Fariseilji, cãndu vidzurã aestã, lji dzãsirã: “Ia, ucenitsilji a tãlji ma facã atsea tsi nu easti volje s-facã sãmbãta.”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Sh-elu lã dzãsi a lor: “Nu avets cãntatã cã tsi featsi Davidul cãndu avu foami, elu sh-atselji tsi eara cu nãsu?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Elu intrã tu casa a Dumnidzãlui sh-mãcã pãnji sãmtsãti, tsi nu prindea s-li mãca nitsi elu sh-nitsi elji tsi eara cu nãsu, dicãt mash preftsãlji.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.

5Icã nu avets cãntatã tu lege cã tu templu, cathe Sãmbãtã, preftsãlji calcã sãmbãta sh-cu tutatsea nu suntu vinovats?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Sh-mini ma vã dzãc cã aoa easti un ma mari dicãt templu.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Sh-ma s-avets shtiutã cã tsi va s-dzãcã: ‘Mini voi njilã sh-nu curbani,’ nu va aveat condamnat nivinovatsilji.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Cã Hiljiu a omlui easti Domnu sh-a Sãmbãtãljei.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Deapoea, dupã tsi s-dipãrtã di aclo, Isusul intrã tu sinagoga a lor,Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10sh-ia, aclo eara un bãrbat a cui s-eara uscatã mãna. Elji lu ntribarã Isusul, cu scupo tsi s-lu acuza ma napoi: “Easti volje tsi cariva s-vindicã dzua di sãmbãtã?”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?”

11Sh-elu lã dzãsi a lor: “Easti vãrã di voi tsi ari unã oai, shi aeastã lji cadi tu groapã dzua di sãmbãtã, sh-elu nu va u-acatsã shi s-u-scoatã afoarã?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?

12Ia ashã, cãt ma multu custeadzi omlu di oaia! Ia, easti volje s-fatsã ghini Sãmbãta?”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Atumtsea elu lji dzãsi a omlui: “Tindi mãna a ta!” Elu u-timsi sh-mãna a lui s-featsi sãnãtoasã ca alanta.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.

14Ma Fariseilji, dupã tsi ishirã afoarã, fãtsea plan contra a lui cum s-lu vãtãma.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Ma cãndu Isusul nvitsã aestã, fudzi di aclo sh-unã multsãmi mari lu urma sh-elu lji vindicã tuts.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Sh-lã ordinã atselji si nu aspunea cai eara elu,warning them not to make Him known.

17tra si mplineascã tsi eara dzãsã di la prufitlu Isaia tsi dzãtsea:This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Ia, huzmichearlu a meu, tsi mini lu alepshu, vrutlu a meu, tu cai mini escu hãrsit. Mini va lu-bag Duhlu a meu pristi nãsu sh-elu va aspunã ndriptatea la lumea.“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.

19Elu nu va si ncaci sh-nitsi va aurlã sh-vãrã nu va avdã boatsea a lui pri pãdzi.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Elu nu va lu sãrmã cãlamlu atsel frãmtu sh-nu va u-astingã cãndila tsi fatsi fum, pãnã-cãndu elu s-nu aibã faptã s-amintã ndriptatea.A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Sh-oaminjilji va s-nãdãeascã tu numa a lui.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Atumtsea lji adusirã un demonizat, tsi eara orbu sh-mut. Sh-Isusul lu vindicã, ashã cã elu videa sh-zbura.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.

23Sh-multsãmea s-ciudisea sh-dzãtsea: “Nacã aestu easti Hiljiu al David?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Ma Fariseilji, cãndu avdzãrã aestã, dzãsirã: “Aestu lã aĝuneashti demonjilji mash cu fuchiia a Beelzebul, printsul a demonjilor.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Sh-Isusul, cunuscãnda minduirili a lor, lã dzãsi: “Itsi amirã, tsi s-disparti tu nãsã, s-dutsi cãtrã aspãrdzeari, sh-itsi cãsãbã icã casã, tsi s-disparti tu nãsã, nu va si sta multu.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.

26Atumtsea, macã draclu aĝuneashti draclu, elu easti dispãrtsãtã tu nãsã, sh-cum poati sta amirãriljea a lui?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Sh-macã mini aĝunescu dratsilji cu agiutarea a Beelzebul, cu agiutarea a cui lã agunescu hiljilji a voshtri? Tr-atsea elji va hibã giudicãtorlji a voshtri.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Ma, macã mini aĝunescu dratsilji cu agiutarea al Duhlu a Dumnidzãlui, atumtsea amirãriljea al Dumnidzãu ari vinitã la voi.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Icã, cum poati vãrã s-intrã tu casa a vãrtoslu shi s-lji furã ayishtearea a lui, ma s-nu lu ari ligatã ma nãinti vãrtoslu? Mash atumtsea elu va s-poatã s-lji furã casa.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.

30Cai nu easti cu mini, easti contra di mini sh-cai nu adunã cu mini hãrgiueashti.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Trã atsea mini ma vã dzãc: Itsi amãrtii sh-blãstem va lã si ljeartã a oamnjilor, ma blãstemlu contra a Duhlui nu va lã si ljeartã a lor.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Sh-caitsido tsi greashti contra a Hiljilui a omlui va lji si ljeartã, ma atsel tsi greashti contra a Duhlui Sãmtu nu va lji si ljeartã nitsi tu aestã etã, nitsi tu atsea tsi va yinã.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.

33Icã fãtsets bun pomlu, sh-atumtsea frutlu a lui va s-hibã bun, icã fãtsets arãu pomlu sh-frutlu a lui va hibã arãu. Cã pomlu s-cunoashti di frutlu.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.

34Pulji di nãpãrtitsi! Cum putets s-grits ghini, cãndu hits arãi? Cã gura greashti di mplinirea a inimãljei.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Omlu atsel bunlu dit ayistearea atsea buna a inimiljei a lui, scoati lucri buni, ma omlu atsel arãulu scoati lucri arali dit ayistearea a lui arauã.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.

36Ma mini ma vã dzãc cã dzua a giudicatãljei caitsido va da lugurii trã itsi zbor di geaba tsi au dzãsã.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Cã dupã zboarili a tali va ti ndriptãtseshti, sh-dupã zboarili a tali va ti condamnji.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Atumtsea niscãntsã scribi sh-Farisei lj-dzãsirã: “Nvitsãtore, noi vrem s-videm vãrã semnu di la tini.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Ma elu apãndisinda lã dzãsi a lor: “Aestã farã anapudã sh-curunã-cãlcatã caftã un semnu, ma vãrã semnu nu va lji si da, di cãt semnul al prufitlu Iona.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Cã, ashã cum Iona armasi trei dzãli sh-trei noptsã tu pãnticlu a peshtilui atsel marli, ashã sh-Hiljilu a omlui va s-hibã trei dzãli sh-trei noptsã tu inima a loclui.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.

41Bãnãtorlji di Ninive va si scoalã la giudicatã deadun cu aestã farã sh-va u-condamnã, cã elji s-mitãnjiusirã cu predicarea al Iona. Sh-ia, aoa easti un ma mari di Iona.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.

42Amirãroanjea di sud va si scoalã la giudicatã deadun cu aestã farã sh-va u-condamnã, cã ea vini dit mardzina ma diparti a loclui ti avdzãri mintimeniljea al Solomonul sh-ia, aoa easti un ma mari di Salomonul.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.

43Tora cãndu duhlu nicurat ari ishit dit un om, imnã prit locuri fãrã di apã, cãftãnda arihati, ma nu u aflã.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44Atumtsea dzãtsi: ‘Va mi tornu la casa a mea, di iu am ishitã.’ Ma cãndu agiundzi u-aflã goalã, cãtãrsitã shi stulsitã.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.

45Atumtsea s-dutsi sh-ljea cu nãsu shapti duhuri alti ma arali dicãt elu, tsi intrã sh-bãneadzã aclo. Ashã catandisea di ma napoi a aishtui om s-fatsi ma arãu di atsea di ma nãinti. Ashã va s-undzeascã sh-cu aestã farã anapuda.”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.”

46Cãndu Isusul ninga lji grea ali multsãmi, ia muma a lui sh-fratsãlji a lui ma stãtea nafoarã sh-cãfta si zbura cu nãsu.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Sh-un lji dzãsi: “Ia, muma a ta sh-fratsilji a tãlji suntu aclo nafoarã sh-vor sã zburãscã cu tini.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Ma elu apãndisinda, lji dzãsi atsilui tsi lji grãi: “Cai easti muma a mea sh-cai suntu fratsãlji a melji?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Timsi mãna a lui cãtrã ucenitsilji a lui sh-dzãsi: “Ia, muma a mea sh-fratsilji a melji.Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Cã caitsido tsi fatsi vrearea a Tatãlui a meu tsi easti tu tseruri, nji easti frat, sor sh-mumã.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
