Matthew 9 (STW)

1Jesus a teeotae wooan pwoot we nge a sefaaeniti miniwe aepinoamwon iwe eno epeig meoneoiniun we.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Aaemweoi aeremas ra pwigito reen erhai mwaaen e maemerhoar ewon noan epeo giegiy. Igiwe Jesus a weri nepaen aar niugiuniug rhooawe, a aengaeni mwaaen we e maemerhoar pwe, “Aetemaegin naeyi! Monofitimw a mwusunoa.”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.”

3Iwe aaemweoi sinsein anniug kkewe ra niuwaennei pwe, “Mwaaen een e aepesa aenneewa Deus!”On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Nge Jesus a giuneei niunniuwaen kkewe aar nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Meeta oaw niuwaennei minikkena e aenneew reen?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5E mererhaeg pwe sipwe aepesa pwe, ‘Monofitimw a mwusunoa,’ aere sipwe aepesa pwe, ‘Iutae wa faaeraeg noa’?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Iwe, ngaang ipwe pwaeri ngaenigaemi pwe mwaaen we Naiun Aeremas eyor maemaewan wooan soanop pwe epwe oamwusa noa monofit.” Iwe, a aengaeni mwaaen maemerhoar we pwe, “Iutae, pwigi giemw nge wa noa noan imwoamw.”But 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.”

7Iwe mwaaen we a iutae nge a noa noan imwan.And the man got up and went home.

8Igiwe aeremas ra weri miniwe, ra mesag tae nge ra aepingepinga Deus reen aan ngaenneer aeremas taeppen mamaaw we.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Jesus a siusaengi igiwe nge a weri erhai rhooan iyoiyon tax itan Matthew, emooat noan aan office. Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Itto tapweaei.” Iwe Matthew a iutae nge a tapweei noa mwirin.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.

10Igiwe Jesus a mwongo noan imwaen Matthew, nge re towunap rhooan iyoiyon tax me rhooa monofit ra itto tapweei Jesus me rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun reen table we.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Oatowe aaemweoi Pharisees kkewe ra giuneei miniwe, ra aeiyegiir rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun pwe, “Meeta faan naimi sinsei a mwongo ngaeniir rhooan iyoiyon tax me rhooa monofit kena reen?”When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Jesus a rongorong aar kkepas nge a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Rhooakka rese semwaai rese noa reer toagota, pwe rhooakka refaer semwaai.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Oawnoa giutta faaen kkepas een me noan Pwapwior we e Santus: ‘Faayeow minne ngaang i tipaeni, nge saapw maan kkena aar oasoar ngaeniaei.’ Ngaang ise itto pwe ipwe faingiir rhooa mwamwaai, pwe faer rhooa monofit.”But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun John Baptist ra itto reen Jesus nge ra aeiineow pwe, “Meeta faan aemaem me Pharisees aeisooaw aecchigipin, nge rhooan kkayeo kkomwu noawumw rese aecchigipin reen?”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?”

15Jesus a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Oaw niuwaennei nge epwe aenneew tipeer rhooakkena re itto reen gupwunon appwiuniupai we igiwe bridegroom we e rhiuwen no reer? Aapw! Nge epwe itto raaenin na repwe pwigi saengiir bridegroom we, nge ina oatona repwene aecchigipin noa.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.

16“Esooar erhai epwe aeyae mengaag ffeo aan epwe pinisa tae wooan erheo mengaag maerhiy, pwe mengaag ffeo we epwe fereei noa mengaag maerhiy we, nge miniwe taeringen epwene faer gin temoag noa.No 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.

17Esooar erhai epwe aenianong wine ffeo noan nenien wine maerhiy, pwe ina epwe pwoanoa nge wine we e nipiwow nge nenien wine we epwe ffeir noa. Pwe faer wine ffeo epwe itinong noan nenien wine ffeo, pwe ina nge oanongaen repwe gacch.”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.”

18Igiwe Jesus e aepesa minneen, erhai soamwoonin Jews a itto reen, a foatotiw mmwan nge a aengaeni pwe, “Naeyi aeterhooapwut a maenoa igina, nge wopwe itto rhag iseni tae poawumw wooan, pwe epwe menaw.”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.”

19Iwe, Jesus a iutae nge a tapweei noa, nge rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra pwan tapweei.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Eno erhai rhooapwut neeiir eseiug aan peitaeg noa noan seig me ruwowu raeg, a itto me niugiusagiuriun Jesus nge a geotteopa soapwon mengaagiun.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21A niuwaennei nong nee tipan, “Aere i geotteopa rhag mengaagiun nge ipwe mamaaw tae.”She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Iwe, Jesus a toagun, a weri niewe nge a aengaeni pwe, “Naeyi, wopwe aetemaegin, oamw niugiuniug minne a aecchipwoag tae.” Reen rhag oatowe nge rhooapwut we a mamaaw tae.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Mwirin Jesus a noa noan imwaen soamwoon we. Nge a weriir rhooan arhiuwerhiuw kkewe me pwuwa we ra igin saeng,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24a aengaeniir pwe, “Oawtowow oanongaemi! Aeterhooapwut een nge ese mae, pwe aan rhag maiur!” Iwe ra kekkaei aegini.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Nge igiwe aeremas ra toowow niugiun, Jesus a toonong noan sengkin we aaen aeterhooapwut we nge a ammwarhiu tae paiun, iwe a rhimwitae.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Iwe, fioangon miniwe a rheeoi noa wooan oanongaen faniuw we.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Oatowe Jesus a siusaengi pwiuneoi we, riiurhai mwaaen masparh ra pwan tapweei noa mwirin. Ra aepwesaegini pwe, “Naiun David, wopwe faayeogemaem!”As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Iwe, igiwe Jesus a toonong noan iimw we, mwaaen masparh kkewe ra itto reen. Jesus a aeiineeor pwe, “Oaw niugiuniug pwe ngaang ipwe mmwenen aeffetanoa mesaemi?” Iir ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Ooa, menap.”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.

29Iwe Jesus a geotteopa meseer nge aepesa pwe, “Meeta oaw niugiuniug ngaeni, epwe pwan wen ngaenigaemi.”Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Iwe, a ffatenoa meseer. Nge Jesus a igin ammwir ngaeniir pwe resoapw aengaeni mwo nge erhai miniwe a wen.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Nge iir ra faer noa arheoiuwa noa wunuunun Jesus wooan oanongaen faniuw we.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Igiwe mwaaen kkewe ra noa, aaemweoi aeremas ra pwigito reen Jesus erhai mwaaen ese mmwenen kkepas pwe ewartae aniu aenneew wooan.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Reen rhag oaton we Jesus a oatowowuw aniu aenneew we saengi mwaaen we, nge a mmwenen kkepas. Oanongeer aeremas kkewe ra mwaar reen nge ra aepesa pwe, “Esaaen yor mwo giuneyarh taeppen minneei me noan Israel.”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!”

34Nge Pharisees kkewe ra aepesa pwe, “Soamwoonin aniu aenneew minne efang maemaewan pwe epwe asiiur noa aniu aenneew.”But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Jesus a faaeraeg fetaen wooan oanongaen aepinoamw me pwugos kkewe. E fenaiuw me noan wutteer Jews, e fenaiuw Kkepas Mwamwaai we reen Mweoiu Naaeng me pwan aecchipwaar aeremas kkewe eweriir mesemesaen semwaai.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Nge igiwe a weriir pwuwaen aeremas kkewe, nge a igin faayeeor, pwe ra no noan affayeo me waeiraes taeppen sheep kkewe esooar no rhooan neginegiir.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Iwe a aengaeniir naiun rhooan kkayeo pwe, “A towunap uwaen menaai, nge re fitiman rhag rhooan gin.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Oaw maeipin ngaeni soamwoonin maat we pwe epwe fangenoa rhooan engaang pwe repwe giniiy oanongaen uwaen maat we aan.”Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
