Matthew 12 (WJA)

1A dwii jo̱re̱ Yesu so̱ngma a ko̱o̱ndi̱ alkama nyanggu̱ sabadu, kwati̱mba ya nu̱u̱ ju̱ne̱ pma co̱ra alkama a woo.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.

2Ku Parisayo ko̱, pma sa Yesu ki̱n, <<Su̱wa! Kwati̱mba ma ni̱nggu̱ yi̱ri̱ tu te̱e̱ri̱ yiri je̱e̱ ki̱n nu̱wa ba ni̱ng ya nyanggu̱ sabadu!>>When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3A le̱e̱man pma ki̱n, <<Celeke bu tii bu ce̱gu̱ yi̱ri̱ tu Dawud ni̱nga pu yo̱ nu̱u̱ ju̱ne̱ yi̱ basi̱nba so̱ngma ya wa ru?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Yo̱ diiro Laa Yambau̱, yo̱ yi̱ barauwa ya pma je̱e̱ ku̱maa wu co̱o̱gi̱, kana ku te̱e̱re̱ je̱u̱ pma ba je̱e̱ ya, bu̱r kuruwa Yamba wa ba je̱e̱.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.

5Pero yaa ku bu tii bu ce̱gu̱ mi̱ri̱nggi̱ te̱e̱re̱ Musa ki̱n kuruwa Yamba wa pma pari̱ te̱e̱re̱ a laa Yambau̱ nyanggu̱ sabadu anda kana yi̱to̱ pma yaa we̱le̱m.Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ wo̱o̱ yi̱ wu kangge̱ a pi̱na wu gwala Laa Yambau̱ yi̱ gi̱ru̱.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Lakargar Yamba ce̱ ki̱n, <Tu n kasi̱ twii nu̱wa ba ju̱ki̱ bunam, twii nyi̱i̱gu̱ ni̱i̱ ne̱,> ka bu so̱m to̱o̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ yaa ku bu ni̱ngamanu̱ we̱i̱ nu̱wa bali̱ mi̱n yi̱ we̱le̱m anda yaa we̱le̱m.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Di̱ngi̱n Bo̱l Ne̱re̱ twii Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra nyanggu̱ sabadu.>>For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Pu Yesu du po̱o̱ wii, a aara diiro gi̱re̱ng ku̱ru̱ pma,Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10wo̱o̱ yi̱ ne̱re̱ wu wai bo̱rgi̱ pwii. Pma dwaagu ba nyi̱ngga yo̱ yi̱ we̱le̱m. Pma pi̱ra yo̱ ki̱n, <<Te̱e̱re̱ yiri je̱e̱ nu̱wa ba mi̱ri̱ ya ne̱re̱ nyanggu̱ Sabadu ru?>>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?”

11Anda a le̱e̱ man pma ki̱n, <<Yikwii wii we̱ a cu̱du̱ mbi̱ri̱ ka puuri yo̱ yanni̱ bo̱u̱ nyanggu̱ sabadu na taa ba yiki we̱?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?

12Anda ne̱re̱ gwala bu puure kwaara ru? O̱ng te̱e̱re̱ le̱e̱ ne̱re̱ ba ni̱nga yi̱ri̱ngi̱ tu nyaayi nyanggu̱ sabadu.>>How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Bur a sa ne̱re̱ wii ki̱n, <<Tari̱ wai mo̱u̱.>> Ne̱re̱ wii tari̱ wai yo̱u̱, bur wai yo̱u̱ waata bu̱ri̱ cingcing ci̱ka wu kanggu̱ wii!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.

14Anda Parisayo a twiyongo twalange̱ palaka ba kasa nyindi su pmai jiru we̱i̱ Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Yesu so̱m tu pma kasi̱gu̱ ni̱nggi̱. Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ a du po̱o̱ wii, nu̱wa tum po̱ng yo̱. A mi̱ra pma bu yaa cingcing wa mwa mwa, pma yi̱langa.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16A nyi̱i̱ pma di̱kace̱ne̱ ki̱n, ba ce̱ ya ka yo̱ we̱ we̱i̱.warning them not to make Him known.

17To̱o̱ a twanga yi̱ri̱ tu banabi̱ Icaya ce̱ a dwii ye̱i̱ ki̱n,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18<<Su̱wa ke̱we̱ mi wu n se̱ka. Wii yo̱ wu n kangman yo̱, wu di̱rangi̱n gaanggu̱. N diinu we̱i̱ Bawei mi a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ ye̱i̱, anda yo̱ sar we̱i̱ ji̱re̱ nu̱wa bu si̱ma wa.“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.

19Yaa ku ni̱ngu̱ we̱i̱ gwe̱la kana ba wun miu yo̱u̱ a nyindi.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Yaa ku pe̱nu̱ we̱i̱ bu yaa cingcing wa, kana ba nu̱u̱ bu̱u̱ nu̱wa bu yaa di̱mbi̱re̱ wa, ko̱po̱ ka diini ji̱re̱i̱ je̱ gawu̱re̱.A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Anda mi̱ri̱nggi̱ din ye̱i̱ nu̱wa bu si̱ma wa mannu̱ we̱i̱ ni̱i̱.In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22A dwii jo̱re̱ pma de̱mu̱we̱ Yesu ne̱re̱ wu kangge̱ wu yi̱ wuturindi twii kermo pero yaa ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱. Yesu mi̱ra ne̱re̱ wii palaka ba ko̱ pero ba nu̱u̱ si̱ma.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.

23Nu̱wa bwii riyanga bu̱ri̱ a pi̱ra ki̱n, <<Yikwii wo̱o̱ Yesu Bo̱l Dawud ru?>>The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Anda ku Parisayo nu̱wa yi̱to̱ pma ce̱ ki̱n, <<Mwe̱le̱, ne̱re̱ wo̱, wo̱o̱ Baalsabul ti̱bak, bagi̱ra wuturindi, a nyi̱i̱ yo̱ di̱mbi̱re̱ ba yiki wuturindi.>>But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Anda Yesu ku̱ranga dangandi̱ pmai, yo̱ sa pma ki̱n, <<Kana ko̱no̱ lau̱ ku̱ cwaanga bu̱ri̱ ro̱p bagu̱ ce̱re̱ yi̱ bu̱ri̱ pmai, ko̱ lau̱ bwi̱i̱ru̱ we̱i̱, yi̱to̱ mwa yi̱ kana do̱no̱ gwe̱i̱ kana laa ka cwaani bu̱ri̱ bagu̱ ce̱re̱ yi̱ bu̱ri̱ pmai wo̱ laa na ti̱n ti̱ye̱i̱.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.

26Anda ka Balaa Buwai yikir Balaa Buwai, a cwaanga bu̱ri̱ ye̱i̱, a bagu̱ ce̱re̱ yi̱ dwii ye̱i̱. Lau̱ yo̱u̱ ni̱ng we̱i̱ nye̱ ba ti̱n ti̱yau̱?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Ka n yikigu wuturindi yi̱ di̱mbi̱re̱ Baalsabul we̱i̱, nu̱wa mba re̱i̱? Pma yikiri yi̱ di̱mbi̱r we̱? Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱, pma ni̱ngi̱ mbi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ bali̱.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Anda ka n yikiri wuturindi yi̱ di̱mbi̱ri̱ Bawei Yamba wai, lau̱ Yambau̱ baa dwii mbi̱ri̱.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Bang bang, yaa ne̱ru̱ wu puu we̱i̱ dimma laa ne̱re̱ wu yi̱ di̱mbi̱re̱ ba de̱e̱ se̱e̱ yo̱, ko̱po̱ ka twali ne̱ru̱ wu di̱mbi̱r wii bati̱, anda ba puu de̱gu̱ se̱e̱ yo̱.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.

30Ne̱re̱ wu yaa kem yi̱ mi, yo̱ bagu̱ ce̱re̱ yi̱ mi, ne̱re̱ wu kalanggu̱ bu ku̱ranggu̱, yo̱ we̱e̱nggu̱ si̱yau̱.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31<<Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ n sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, Yamba paramanu we̱i̱ sukom we̱le̱mdi̱ nu̱wa yi̱ kana ca tu bwi̱i̱ tu pma ce̱ we̱i̱, anda kana we̱ wu ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ du bwi̱i̱ a dwii Bawei du Walwal, Yamba na paraman yo̱ sukom we̱le̱m yo̱u̱.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Kana we̱ wu ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ du bwi̱i̱ a dwii Bo̱l Ne̱re̱ Yamba paramanu we̱i̱ yo̱ sukom we̱le̱m yo̱u̱, anda kana we̱ wu ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ du bwi̱i̱ a dwii Bawei du Walwal Yamba na paraman yo̱ sukom we̱le̱m yo̱u̱, kana si̱na daandi kana daandi su baai̱.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<<Nu̱wa ku̱ran sou bo̱nggo̱ tutwiyari ye̱i̱. Ka sou kundi tutwiyari ye̱i̱ ni̱ngu̱ we̱i̱ kundi. Ka sou yaa kundi ne̱, tutwiyari ye̱i̱ na ni̱ngi̱ kundi.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.

34Mba co̱o̱gi̱ndi̱ su bwi̱i̱! Ni̱ndu̱ we̱i̱ nye̱ nu̱wa bu bwi̱i̱wa ci̱ka mba ba ce̱ tu kundi? Yi̱ri̱ng tu ne̱re̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ twiiwei mi̱ri̱nggu̱ gaanggu̱ yo̱u̱.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Ne̱re̱ wu nyaa ni̱ng wu̱rang tu nyaayi, di̱ngi̱n wu̱rang tu nyaayi twiiwei mi̱ri̱nggu̱ gaanggu̱ yo̱u̱. Ne̱re̱ wu bwi̱i̱ye̱ ni̱ng wu̱rang tu bwi̱i̱, di̱ngi̱n wu̱rang tu bwi̱i̱ twiiwei mi̱ri̱nggu̱ gaanggu̱ yo̱u̱ ku̱ bwi̱u̱.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.

36Anda n wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, a nyanggu̱ balu nu̱wa nyi̱i̱ we̱i̱ le̱e̱ a dwii kana do̱no̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ du nyoi du pma ce̱i̱.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Di̱ngi̱n go̱n ci̱ye̱i̱ du bu ce̱i̱ pe̱ra mbi̱r we̱i̱ bo̱nggo̱ bali̱ pero twala mbi̱r we̱i̱ bo̱nggo̱ balu.>>For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Nyanggu̱ ku kanggu̱ ku̱lu̱mba te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱ wa yi̱ Parisayo pma baanga bo̱nggo̱ Yesu a ce̱ ki̱n, <<Ku̱lu̱me̱, yi kasi̱ ma ju̱ku̱ yir somdi yi̱ri̱ ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱.>>Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Yesu nyi̱i̱ pma le̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Mba nu̱wa bu bwi̱i̱ wa bu si̱naa daandi wa, bu yaa gwasi̱ Yamba wa, bu kasi̱ yi̱ri̱ somdi ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱, yaa ku n ni̱ngambi̱ri̱ somdi ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱ ka gwal tu banabi̱ Yunana.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Di̱ngi̱n ci̱ka ku Yunana wo̱o̱ pwii jingne wu dudu yo̱ nyan daa kunong yi̱ ku̱m kunong, yi̱to̱ Bo̱l Ne̱re̱ ni̱ngu̱ we̱i̱ daa kunong mi̱ri̱nggu̱ si̱ma nyanggu̱ yi̱ ku̱me̱.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.

41Nu̱wa bu Ninebe wa baa ti̱ndi̱ ti̱yandi̱ kem yi̱ mba nu̱wa bu si̱na daandi wa a nyanggu̱ ku̱ Yamba ni̱ngamanu̱ we̱i̱ bali̱ nu̱wa, pma sambi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ ki̱n be̱e̱ we̱le̱m, di̱ngi̱n pma ni̱nga bwiiwa a jo̱r du Yunana wasi̱man pma ci̱ye̱i̱ Yambai̱, ne̱re̱ wu gwala Yunana wo̱o̱ pi̱na.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.

42Balaa wu nu̱re̱ wu si̱ma bu taadi wa, ba ti̱ro̱ ti̱ye̱i̱ kem yi̱ mba nu̱wa bu si̱na daandi a nyanggu̱ ku̱ Yamba ni̱ngamanu̱ we̱i̱ bali̱ nu̱wa, yo̱ sambi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ ki̱n be̱e̱ we̱le̱m, di̱ngi̱n yo̱ du̱we̱ si̱ma ya kwaara di̱ngi̱n ba baa nu̱u̱ pwi̱i̱ Balaa Solomon, anda ne̱re̱ wu gwala Solomon wo̱o̱ pi̱na.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<<Ka wutur twii bu̱ri̱ ne̱ri̱, mwatir pu yaa gundu a kasanggu̱ pu yo̱ro̱nu̱. Ka yo̱ ki̱ngga bu ne̱,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44yo̱ ba ce̱ ki̱n, <N waatu we̱i̱ bu̱ri̱ a laa mu wu n twiiwe mi̱ru̱.> Ka baa ki̱nggi̱ laa wii candi̱gi̱, pero me̱ne̱ngi̱ yaa tu kanggi̱,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.

45bur yo̱ ba waata ba de̱ kapi̱na wuturindi a nibiyo su gwala yo̱ yi̱ tu̱we̱ baa ba si̱ndi̱ si̱yau̱ a pwii.

And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Pu Yesu wo̱o̱ ce̱gu̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ yi̱ nu̱wa tum njaa yo̱ yi̱ ci̱yamba ya bo̱o̱ pi̱ti̱ndi̱ twalange̱, kasi̱ ba sa ci̱ye̱i̱.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Wu kangge̱ cu̱du̱ pmai sa Yesu ki̱n <<Njaa mo̱ yi̱ ci̱yamba ma bo̱o̱ pi̱ti̱ndi̱ twalange̱ kasi̱gu̱ ba ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ yi̱ mo̱.>>Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Yesu pi̱ra ki̱n, <<Njaa mi wii we̱? Ci̱yamba muwa bwii bu we̱?But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Bur a juka kwati̱mba ya a ce̱ ki̱n, <<Bu su̱wa ti̱na njaa mi yi̱ ci̱yamba muwa.Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Kana we̱ wu tu̱m dangandi̱ Mbaa mi wu diyou twii ci̱ya mi wu nu̱re̱ yi̱ wu nambare̱ yi̱ njaa mi!>>For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
