Matthew 9 (ULK1902)

1Ege Iesu atiem abele nar ge, a bakeamulu nerute apek, epe baos tabara uteb ge.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Dasmerare, uiaba egardare abim abele le ibibi, E eidi abele sik; Iesu abi nardarare uiaba oituli, epe E abi detager abele le ibibi, Kara uerem ae, mara nerkep ua saserim, emetu adem dikri mara uit.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.”

3Dasmerare, uader aotale le tababu dikiaporare uiaba nerkep ge, Abele le adud mer egali Adim.On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Ege Iesu de nardarare uiaba dikiaporare, epe E uiabim, kega, Nalugelam uaba adud dikiaporare uaba nerkep ge?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Abelelam nade lu perper? nako abele mer abi detager, Mara uit emetu idigir; a nako abele mer abi detager, Tekuei, ma ge bakeam?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Ueakai uaba opasereret Le la Uerem nagri sirdam abele geseb ge E idigir uit giz, (E abim detager le ibibi), Ma ge tekuei, a ais mabara sik, a bakeam mabara meta.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.”

7E ge tekueilu, a bakeamulu tabara metaem.And the man got up and went home.

8Epe le lakub abi erdarare, uiaba sererege, a desperare Adim, E nakuarare abele sirdam le mokakalam.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Ege Iesu bakeamulu adem abele utebelam, epe E erdali abele le emreder abele meta ge a asesereder zegu mani, abara nei Mataio; E abi detager, Ma kari narmili, ege E tekueilu, a abi irmili.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.

10Ege E sep ge eidi abele meta a leuer eroli, dasmerare, gaire telona giz a pako uite le giz a tabakeuare uiaba eidi okakis Iesuim, pako abara kaimeg giz, a leuer erolare.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Faresaio giz abi erdali, uiabi abi detagerare abara kaimeg giz, Nalugelam uaba Ereuerem le kemem leuer eroli a gaire telona giz pako uite le giz?When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Ege Iesu asoli, E uiabi daratagerare, Nole abkoreb lukup le gaire gim kak le, epe mamoro abkoreb gaire le gimgim.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Ua bakeuare a ereuerem nalu tonar abele mer, Kaka lagelag abele nasenas, a nole abele zegu lu; abelelam kaka nole tabarki darabgerare gaire le barkak tonar, epe uite le giz uiaba obazgeda.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Ege Ioane ra kaimeg giz tabakeuare abim, kega, Nalugem keriba gaire kerker leueru baili, a pako gaire Faresaio, epe mara kaimeg giz nole leueru baili?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?”

15Ege Iesu de uiabi daratagerare, Umer kak okasosok gaire kaimeg le, abele le kerkar ispit abara kosker, abele uader gerger uiabi kemem, a niai kerker tabarki le ispit adem bakeamulu uiabielam, epe uiaba leueru baili.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.

16Nole nerute le umele ekpi emeret gem uali abele kerkar mog uali; abelelam atoat abele emeret gem uali abara ekpi, iaueakai au atoatatoat.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.

17Umer kak kerkar uaina etatakoi abele emeret gegur tarpor: ese mokakalam gegur tarpor erperidlu, a uaina epaiteredlu, a gaire gegur tarpor dedkoli: epe etatakoi abele kerkar uaina abele kerkar gegur tarpor, iaueakai mamoro debele.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.”

18E uiabi daratagerare abele gaire mer, Dasmer, abele kole tabarki E abim etkobeilu, kega, Kara neur emetu eumida; a ma tabakeam a dikmerik mara tagu abara tumge, iaueakai eded.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.”

19Ege Iesu tekueilu, a abara kaimeg giz abi irmilare.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Dasmer, abele kosker E nagri mam gim tuelf gaire urut, E bakeamulu Iesu ra sor ge, a abi itutilu abara am uali ub ge.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21Abelelam E tababu dikiapor muige abara nerkep, Ese kaka no itutilu abara am uali, a kara eded nagri.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Ege Iesu baseker, a abi erdalu, E detager, kega, Kara neur, mara nerkep au saserim, a ma eded maba oitulam. Ege abele kosker eded abele haua ge.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Ege Iesu balu abele kole ra meta ge, E darasmerare gaire lekub a burar diperi a uiaba ebazuer,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24E uiabi daratagerare, Ua bakeuare adem; abelelam abele neur nole eud kak, E no uteid. Ege uiaba abi neg degarare abim.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Ege lekub namuare, a E balu, a erpeilu neur ra tag; ege ekueilu abele neur.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Abele mer aserare abele ged uridili.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Iesu adem bakeamulu abele utebelam, epe uiaba abi narmilei neis sadamer le, a ereretikri, kega, Dauida ra Uerem, ma keribi nasenas.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28E balu abele meta ge, a neis sadamer le tabakeamulei abim; a Iesu uiabi daratager neis le, Nako uaba karim oituli kaka umele abele lu ikeli? Epe uiaba detaut, Uao, Opole.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.

29Ege E uiabi natutilu uiaba pone, a uiabi daratager, kega, Mokakalam uaba oituli, a ko ikeli abkoreb uabim.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Ege uiaba pone bakaerei; ege Iesu de au kase daratager neis le, kega, Uaba nole atomeret kak nerute le.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31A neis le bakeamulei, a merkem abele mer abielam abele ged ge uridili.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Neis le bakeamulei; darasmerare, uiaba tegaret abele le te dabimdabim a demoni ko balu muige.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33E abi imuare abele demoni; ege le mamoro mer etakalu, abele le te dabimdabim: ege lekub uiaba abi damarare, a mer detagerare, kega, Emeretalam meriba nole erdali nerute lu mokakalam Isaraela ge.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!”

34A Faresaio giz abielam detagerare, kega, Abele au demoni abi dog, abelelam E umele namuare demoni giz.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Ege Iesu deraueli gaire utebe uridili pako kebi utebe, a ereuerem uiaba sunago ge, a marau abele baselaia ra debe mer, E nadgirare gim le uridili, pako au asiasi gim le abele ged ge.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36E nardare gaire lekub, epe E au nasenase uiaba, abelelam uiaba au sagim a dekaertare, mokakalam mamoe giz nole le asesered kak.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Ege E uiabi detagerare, abara kaimeg giz, Epe gaire abele saido isimare, a no neis neis le dorge;Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Peike uaba damsare abele Opole, abara saido isimare, E ko namarkare uader le dorge abara saido isimare.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
