Matthew 12 (XSN)

1A were name a lengme le o teseke le maYahuda, Yeso ka dare aa nyimi turu te eyuu. Atoma kai neya kona ekomo, na ne torbe makpwe ma eyuu na ne lye.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.

2Nangka maParisa ne laka nyimi, na ne beka kai na, “Ba laka atoma au neya eza epa eeka makili ma Mosa ma nare eze a lengme le o teseke le maYahuda.”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Naka bekaa nee na, “Eta e kone epa eeka Daoda ye a were aka ka kone ekomo, kai kaa aja teweno te kai sang?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Nangka ka lyǝ akwilǝ Ashili naka lye borode emea kata gwara aaka lye, na aja teweno te kai ne lye ne, soona ana magame ma Ashili belle.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.

5Ying eta e soole a ngmǝ aaka Ashili nya Mosa, nangka ana magame ma Ashili, aa akwilǝ Ashili ne cakate makili ma lengme lo teseke maYahuda aa zaa nyimi ne tambo na?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Eyang bele oying, kando kamea ka kala akwilǝ Ashili kaana.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Ayya e rose epa eeka a ngmǝ Ashili ya beyame, ‘Mi o cikǝ egonegonea mi ang yeme aying, o nayi Ashili enama tazane,’ etaa eeyo laka madinǝ mana odera madinǝ ne.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Obena Kena ka Oromo kaya Ateokora o lengme le o teseke le maYahuda.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Na Yeso baya araname aaka lyǝ odandaro o gwarzanang maYahuda.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Aa mana oromo yende a rame ooka o ara wai wa waka. Nane pirkǝ Yeso na, “Obaala Mosa wa wore obena wa gwara a womza a lengme le o teseke le maYahuda na?” Ne pirkǝ kai nyimia adorana ne cǝ kai ka o tambo.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?”

11Naka bekaa nee na, “Mana a nyimi oying waaya ka omande openg, na wa taru a leo a lengme lo teseke le maYahuda, wato meke wai kawa sǝǝrǝ ne na?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?

12Oromo kala omande epeng edang maleu. Azaa nyimi ata aa nara ogole o rere aa lengme teseke maYahuda ne.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Naka bekaa oromo me na, “Niyi o ara o!” Nawa niyi ora me, aa wa kuri a zak na o leere me.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.

14Na maParisa suri, a ne gwaara madoola ma nangka neyo wongha kai.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Nangka Yeso rose nyimi, na ka ere arame. Na aromo acake tare kai naka womza ne apat.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Aa ka windi ne toto na kana ne bele ana ondo ne.warning them not to make Him known.

17Aye nyimia ka panza o bekaa ondo beya ngmǝ ka mawo Ashili Ishaya na,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Kazara kang ang kaana kamea ma zake! Epa oyeme ong, kamea ang kone oleba kai ba cak. Eyang nya kai o bere ong, aa kayo beka ngmǝ a masanto a makeke ma aworme.“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.

19Ka too beya masanggo koona ka beye angmǝ a jǝng ne, Kangza ondo too kona lengmelo le kai aza orona ne.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Legaaga leeme le tunggunu katoo pora leene, Beru be masanto bemea bee amara ka o lambu katoo limbǝ be ne, Ka ka ote epeng eme ke lya izi.A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Aa nyimi leze le kai aworme kangza neyo eke lenyong a kai.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Na ca Yeso orakare ka urǝ waze ka wa kang ya ka obere o buru, naka womza wai, nawa bore beya ngmǝ awa kang gonta ara.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.

23Na epame tere aromo me ukpwei, na ne bekaana, “Kanna Kena Daoda tazane na?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Nangka maParisa ne kone nyimi na ne bekaana, ka legoone le Ba'alzebul ogomo obere oburua kando kaana kaya sǝrsǝzǝ mabere maburu.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Nangka Yeso ka rose madoola mane, naka bekaa nee na, “Pate togomo teeka te arnang to dǝkǝni to leere a neya kara ka tukpwei, teyo caro. Kangza apeng koona akwilǝ aaka a arnang to dǝkǝni to leere a neya kara ka tukpwei, ayo rizi.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.

26O Shetan wa sǝǝrǝ o Shetan waya kara ka ukpwei wai naname. Togomo te wai yoya legoone nannia?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Ma sǝrsǝzǝ obere oburu ka legoone le Ba'alzebul, ana o tare o ying ne sǝrsǝzǝ ka legoone le mana? Aa zaa nyimi ana otare oying neya yo core ying angmǝ me.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28A ma sǝrsǝzǝ bere o buru ka legoone le obere Ashili na togomo te Ashili te deya aying naname.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29A era ta lyǝ aa kwilǝ ondo legoone ka bese magogoro ma wai ne, soona a tese wai suri, aa amaa ama o besa magogoro ma akwilǝ a wai.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.

30Ondooka wata ya legwa kami, ondo o nyana ong nga wai. Kangza ondooka wata kangkamang a kurǝ me ne, waya bacakaraa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Aa zaa nyimi eyang bele oying, ayo pisǝ madinǝ ma aromo apat, ondooka wa sopa o obere Ashili, a to pisǝ madinǝ ma wai ne.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Ondooka wa beya a ngmǝ ma zeelakong aa Kena ka Oromo, ayo pisǝ madinǝ ma wai. Ondooka wa beya a ngmǝ ma zeelakong aa obere Ashili, a to pisǝ madinǝ ma wai a nyimi lerambo leena nanname ka o ale a izi ne.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.

33Uti o rere wa ngmenze ayana a rere. Uti oburu wa ngmenze ayana aburu. A rose uti ayana wai ya.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.

34Ying okurkǝnǝng ewa ee buru! Ee wiinia ee beye angmǝ edang, a ying naana ana ara buru ne? Obena epa emea eya nyimi lenyong eya susi o ngmǝ.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Oromo edang, a nyimi lenyong le wai wa eke epa eeke eye ka edang, ondo ara buru o eke lenyong lewai le eburu eya susi a lenyong le wai.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.

36Eyang bele oying, aa lengme le o core angmǝ, pate angmǝ aburu ka oromo wa beya ayo pirkǝ wai.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Angmǝ au aya ayo sǝǝrǝu, aa kangza aya ayo core angmǝ aza o.For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Na ana obaala angmǝ aaka Ashili nya Mosa kaa maParisa ne bekaa kai na, “Ondo baala, teya yeme aa te laka epa otera ukpwei aa bo.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Naka kabare na, “Ying aromo tomore teena, ana leyau ka ara aburu, neya gera o laka epa otera ukpwei, a era ta wore ne epa otera ukpwei ne! Soona epa o tera ukpwei ondo obeya angmǝ ka mawo Ashili Yonana.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Nangka Yonana wa more awa were ka taaro a nyimi lebangi le bekwala bee gong, nyimia Kena ka Oromo kayo ya tomore to taro nyimi ocau.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.

41A lengme le core angmǝ aromo o Neneba neyo era ka aromo tomore teena, ka ne toze aromo a tomore teena kane ta ne ya epa e woma ne, azaa o bena nee kurǝa Ashili aa kazo o ozoola o Yonana. Kangza ondo ka wa kala Yonana waya raana.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.

42A Lengme le o core angmǝ, Aya ogong o makeke ma o Sheba wayo era kaa aromo a tomore teena, ka wa toze ne, o bena wa deya a wa suri a macangcang ma lerambo leena, kawa kone o rosa ogomo Suleimanu. Ondo ka wa kala Suleimanu naana.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.

43Obere o buru wa surǝ nyimi oromo, aa wa kaale araaka manyi ta zane ne azaa o gera ara o teseke. Aa wa ta ocǝ ne,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44malo nyimi aa wa bekaana, “Eyang kurǝ akwilǝ aa kaa maa surǝ ne.’ Wa kurǝ wayo mana akwilǝ amea zora ondo nyimi me aa a besa ai aa babare aa sangsang.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.

45A wayo kurǝ kawa jeke mabere maa buru o sondaare maaka ma kala o bora me ara aburu, kane lyǝ ba oromo me aa ne cikǝ a nyimi owai. O maare oromo me wayo kala o bora wai o buru. Nyimia wayo itǝ kaa ana ara aburu a tomore teena.”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.”

46Nangka Yeso kaya beya angmǝ kaa aromo a cak naa mana iini ka arone kai aa neya itǝ oo yanga, a neya yeme o beya a ngmǝ kaa kai.”While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Na oromo yende bekaa kai na, “Iini kaa arone au, neya oo yanga aa neya yeme o beya a ngmǝ kaa bo.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Na Yeso kabare na, “Mana iini ong, kaa arone ang?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Naka niyi o ara kai ana o tare kai, aa ka bekaana, “Andaana iini ong kaa arone ang.”Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Komana wa eza epa eeka Ate ang o zaa shili waya yeme me, waya arone ang kaa iini ong.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
