Matthew 8 (WJA)

1Go̱ro̱ pu Yesu julo ci̱ngu̱ kwii, nu̱wa tum po̱ngwe̱ yo̱.When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2Ne̱re̱ wu kangge̱ wu yi̱ butangi baa bo̱nggo̱ yo̱u̱ a kun kwiyou a ce̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra, ka ma le̱e̱i̱, ma mi̱rangge̱ n yi̱la a bo̱nggo̱ butangi mi.>>Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3Yesu a yaku wai a ce̱rman yo̱, a se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<N le̱e̱, yi̱la!>> Yo̱ko̱ yo̱ko̱ butangi twii a du ne̱re̱ wii.>>Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4Yesu sa yo̱ ki̱n, <<Ma sari̱ ya kana we̱ to̱o̱ yi̱ri̱. Anda ma amna ma ju̱ku̱ bu̱ri̱ mai kuru Yamba ba su̱wa mi̱na, pero ma nyi̱i̱ ni̱i̱ du Musa ce̱ ki̱n nu̱wa ba nyi̱i̱ya, di̱ngi̱n ni̱nggu̱ walwal. Ma ni̱nga yi̱to̱ di̱ngi̱n nu̱wa ba so̱ma ki̱n ma yi̱la.>>Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

5Pu Yesu diiro Kaparnahum, kacala Roma wa wu kangge̱ baa ki̱nga yo̱ a senggo yo̱ ki̱n,When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6<<Ne̱re̱ wu gi̱ra, ke̱we̱ mi wo̱o̱ pi̱dau̱ lai̱, bu̱ri̱ ye̱i̱ bo̱rgi̱ a cu̱su̱gu̱ wang.>>“Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7Yesu se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<N anggu̱ we̱i̱ n mi̱ra yo̱.>>“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8Bagi̱ra kacaraa wii ce̱ ki̱n, <<Ang ang yaa yi̱to̱ Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra, mi yinnibu ma baa laa mu, anda mo̱ ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ ti̱bak, ke̱we̱ mi yi̱l we̱i̱.The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9Di̱ngi̱n mi mwa n wo̱o̱ ku̱u̱ ne̱re̱ wu kangge̱, pero do̱ng n wo̱o̱ yi̱ kacara ku̱u̱ mu̱, ka n sar wuna mi̱n, <Amna,> yo̱ ba aara, wu kangge̱ do̱ng n se̱e̱ mi̱n, <Bame̱!> bur ba baa, pero ka n sar ke̱we̱ mi mi̱n, <Ni̱nga yi̱ri̱ nyo!> Bur ba ni̱nga.>>For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

10Pu Yesu nu̱wa yi̱to̱, a riyanga bu̱ri̱, a sa nu̱wa bu po̱nggu̱ yo̱ wa ki̱n, <<N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱i̱ yaa ku n nyi̱ngga ne̱re̱ wu le̱e̱gu̱ ji̱re̱ ku yi̱ di̱mbi̱re̱ ci̱ka ki̱naa a Israila.When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

11N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ nu̱wa tum baanga we̱i̱ bo̱nggo̱ do̱no̱me̱ yi̱ nyambi̱ranggu̱ ba si̱ndi̱ si̱yau̱, a je̱gu̱ a naagu kem yi̱ Ibrahim yi̱ Icaku yi̱ Yakubu a lau̱ ku diyou.I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12Anda pma bu daaya ba teendo lau̱ ku diyou nu̱wa parnu we̱i̱ pma ku̱mji̱la, pu pma jii we̱i̱ wiindi yi̱ dumonggu nyi̱yau̱.>>But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13Anda Yesu sa bagi̱ra kacaraa wii ki̱n, <<Mwati̱ lai̱, ci̱ka ku ma pu ji̱re̱ ni̱ndu̱ we̱i̱ yi̱to̱.>> Anda ke̱we̱ bagi̱ra kacaraa wii a yi̱la ki̱nangu̱.Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

14Yesu aara laa Bitrus, a ki̱ngga sii Bitrus wu nu̱re̱ a pi̱dau̱ yi̱ bu̱ri̱ wulok.When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15A mwaanga wai yau̱, bur bu̱ri̱ wulok swii man yo̱, a wuni, a ni̱ngaman yo̱ je̱e̱ndi̱.So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16Ku lam nyambi̱ranggu̱ nu̱wa de̱mu̱we̱ Yesu nu̱wa bu yi̱ wuturindi wa tum. Yesu yikongo wuturindi yi̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ ti̱bak, a mi̱ra pma bu yaa cingcing wa pma yi̱langa mwa mwa.When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17To̱o̱ ni̱ngwa yi̱to̱ palaka ba twanga tu banabi̱ Icaya ce̱ ki̱n, <<A de̱ dwal bu̱ri̱ cingcing yiru yi̱ buwangi yiri.>>This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18Pu Yesu ku̱ranga ki̱n nu̱wa tum wo̱ra yo̱, a sa kwati̱mba ya ki̱n ba yerongo gi̱ngu̱ kali̱nggi̱ kwii.When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

19Ku̱lu̱m te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱ a baa bo̱nggo̱ yau̱ a ce̱ ki̱n, <<Ku̱lu̱me̱, mi po̱ngmi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ kana pi̱yau̱ pu mo̱ amnu̱ wau.>>And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20Yesu nyi̱i̱ le̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Bapi̱rmi̱si̱ndi̱ bo̱o̱ yi̱ bo̱ri̱ng pmai, yidi mwa yi̱ cwaaringi pmai, anda Bo̱l Ne̱re̱ yaa pu daa mi̱ru̱.>>Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

21Wu kangge̱ cu̱di̱ kwati̱mba ya a ce̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra, du̱ngge̱ bati̱ n angge̱ n tingwe mbaa mi.>>Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22Yesu se̱e̱ ki̱n, <<Po̱nggu̱we̱ du nu̱wa bu bwanggi̱ wa ba tingi kappi̱ma bu bwaanggi̱ wa.>>But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23Yesu diiro konggoru anda kwati̱mba ya po̱ng yo̱.When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24Yaa te̱mandi̱ bur wutur gundu a wunuwe. Gwe̱rai̱ gundi a paringgu gundu a mi̱ri̱nggu̱ konggoru, anda Yesu a diima.Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

25Kwati̱mba ya aanda bo̱nggo̱ yo̱u̱ a romya pma ce̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra, mi̱ra yiro, yi bwanu we̱i̱.>>The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26<<Yesu sa pma ki̱n, <<Di̱ngi̱n ca bu nu̱u̱gu̱ gwasi̱, mba bu le̱e̱gu̱ ji̱re̱ mbi̱ru̱ banyi̱na wa?>> Bur a wuni a ye̱ra wuture yi̱ gwe̱re̱ gundu dwii, bur a si̱n si̱ye̱i̱ to̱k.“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

27Kana we̱ riyanga bu̱ri̱ ki̱n, <<Ki̱naa ko̱no̱ duu ne̱ru̱? Wu kana wuture yi̱ gwe̱rai̱ gundi ni̱ngi̱ po̱ngo̱ndi̱ yi̱ yo̱!>>The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

28Pu Yesu aara bo̱nggo̱ si̱ma Gadara a gi̱ng kali̱nggi̱ kwii, a kaanga yi̱ nu̱wa ro̱p bu twiyongo dwiiyongi puringi, nu̱wa bwii yi̱ wuturindi. Pma yi̱ kwe̱i̱ wang di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ yaa ne̱re̱ wu po̱ng wii nyinou.When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29Pma ni̱nga duwai ki̱nangu̱ ki̱n, <<Bo̱l Yamba ma kasi̱gu̱ ca yi̱ yo? Ma baa pi̱na ma turo yiro bo̱ jo̱r lam bu ru?>>“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30Kan bakambi̱ su lai̱ so̱o̱ ne̱m yi̱ po̱o̱ wii, a taagu̱ taawu̱.In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31Wuturindi swii senggo Yesu ki̱n, <<Ka ma yiki yire ma su̱ka yiro yi teendo mi̱ri̱nggi̱ bakambi̱ su lai̱ swii.So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32Yesu sa pma ki̱n, <<Bu ambi̱ra>> Pma twiyongo, teendo bakambi̱ su lai̱ swii. Mwa mwa kan bakambi̱ swii a mwatanga ki̱lang ki̱lang a julomana ce̱rau̱ a yaramana gundu a bwaamana a mi̱ri̱nggi̱.“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33Nu̱wa bu taagu̱ bakambi̱ su laa swii pma ceendo gwe̱i̱, pma nyi̱i̱ nu̱wa labar yi̱ri̱ngi̱ tu ni̱ngwai̱ yi̱ nu̱wa bu yi̱ wuturindi bwii.Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

34Kana we̱ a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ gwe̱i̱ dwii, a mwati̱ di̱ngi̱n ba kanga yi̱ Yesu, anda pu ko̱ yo̱ a senggo yo̱ ba du si̱ma pma.Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
