Mateyu 12
1 Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu anadutsa pakati pa minda ya tirigu pa tsiku la Sabata. Ophunzira ake anamva njala nayamba kuthyola ngala za tirigu nʼkumadya.
At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grainfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and eat them.
2 Afarisi ataona zimenezi anati kwa Iye, “Taonani! Ophunzira anu akuchita zosaloledwa pa tsiku la Sabata.”
But when the Pharisees saw that, they said to Jesus, “See, your disciples do what is unlawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3 Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge zimene anachita Davide pamene iye ndi anzake anamva njala?
But Jesus said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was hungry, and the men who were with him?
4 Analowa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo iye ndi anzakewo anadya buledi wopatulika amene sikunali kololedwa kwa iwo kudya koma ansembe okha.
He went into the house of God and ate the bread of the presence, which was unlawful for him to eat and unlawful for those who were with him, but lawful only for the priests.
5 Kodi simunawerenge mʼmalamulo kuti pa Sabata ansembe mʼNyumba ya Mulungu amaphwanya lamulo la Sabata komabe sawayesa olakwa?
Have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath but are guiltless?
6 Ine ndikuwuzani kuti wamkulu kuposa Nyumba ya Mulunguyo ali pano.
But I say to you that one greater than the temple is here.
7 Ngati mukanadziwa zomwe mawu awa atanthauza, ‘Ine ndifuna chifundo osati nsembe,’ inu simukanatsutsa osalakwa.
If you had known what this meant, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu ndiye Mbuye wa Sabata.”
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Atachoka kumeneko anakalowa mʼsunagoge mwawo.
Then Jesus left from there and went into their synagogue.
10 Ndipo mʼmenemo munali munthu wolumala dzanja. Pofuna chifukwa chokamunenezera, iwo anamufunsa Yesu kuti, “Kodi nʼkololedwa kuchiritsa munthu tsiku la Sabata?”
Behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” so that they might accuse him of sinning.
11 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ngati wina wa inu ali ndi nkhosa nigwera mʼdzenje tsiku la Sabata, kodi simudzayigwira ndi kuyitulutsa kunja?
Jesus said to them, “What man would there be among you, who, if he had just one sheep, and if this sheep fell into a deep hole on the Sabbath, would not grasp hold of it and lift it out?
12 Nanga munthu sali oposa nkhosa kwambiri! Chifukwa chake nʼkololedwa kuchita zabwino pa Sabata.”
How much more valuable, then, is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa munthuyo, “Wongola dzanja lako.” Iye analiwongola ndipo linakhala monga linalili kale.
Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored to health, just like the other hand.
14 Koma Afarisi anatuluka kunja ndi kukonza njira yoti amuphere.
But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him. They were seeking how they might put him to death.
15 Podziwa zimenezi, Yesu anachoka kumalo amenewo. Ambiri anamutsata Iye ndipo anachiritsira odwala awo onse
As Jesus perceived this, he withdrew from there. Many people followed him, and he healed them all.
16 nawachenjeza kuti asamuwulule kuti yani.
He commanded them not to make him known to others,
17 Uku kunali kukwaniritsa zimene zinayankhulidwa kudzera mwa mneneri Yesaya kuti,
that it might come true, what had been said through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Taonani mnyamata wanga amene ndinamusankha, Wokondedwa wanga, amene moyo wanga ukondwera naye. Pa Iye ndidzayika Mzimu wanga, ndipo Iye adzalalikira chiweruzo kwa akunja.
“See, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved one, in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 Sadzalimbana, sadzafuwula, ngakhale mmodzi sadzamva mawu ake mʼmakwalala.
He will not strive nor cry aloud; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 Bango lophwanyika sadzalithyola, ndi nyale yofuka sadzayizimitsa, kufikira Iye adzatumiza chiweruziro chikagonjetse.
He will not break any bruised reed; he will not quench any smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory,
21 Ndipo akunja adzakhulupirira dzina lake.”
and in his name the Gentiles will have certain hope.”
22 Pomwepo anthu anabwera naye kwa Yesu munthu wogwidwa ndi chiwanda amene anali wosaona ndi wosamva ndipo Yesu anamuchiritsa kotero kuti atatha anayamba kumva ndi kuona.
Then someone blind and mute, possessed by a demon, was brought to Jesus. He healed him, with the result that the mute man spoke and saw.
23 Anthu onse anadabwa ndipo anati, “Kodi uyu ndi kukhala mwana wa Davide?”
All the crowds were amazed and said, “Can this man be the Son of David?”
24 Koma Afarisi atamva zimenezi, anati, “Uyu amatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu mkulu wa ziwandazo.”
But when the Pharisees heard of this miracle, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
25 Yesu anadziwa maganizo awo ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ufumu uliwonse ukagawanika mwa iwo udzawonongeka ndi mzinda uliwonse kapena banja likagawanika, mwa izo zokha sizidzayima.
But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Ngati Satana atulutsa Satana, iye adzigawa yekha. Nanga ufumu wake ungayime bwanji?
If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Ndipo ngati Ine nditulutsa ziwanda ndi Belezebule, anthu anu amatulutsa ziwandazo ndi chiyani? Potero tsono adzakhala oweruza anu.
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.
28 Koma ngati Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu, pamenepo ufumu wa Mulungu wafika pa inu.
But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 “Kapenanso wina aliyense angathe bwanji kulowa mʼnyumba ya munthu wamphamvu ndi kunyamulamo zinthu zake, sipokhapo atayamba wamanga munthu wa mphamvuyo? Pamenepo iye akhoza kuba mʼnyumbamo.
How can anyone enter the house of the strong man and steal his belongings without tying up the strong man first? Then he will steal his belongings from his house.
30 “Iye amene sali ndi Ine atsutsana nane ndipo iye amene sasonkhanitsa pamodzi ndi Ine amamwaza.
The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
31 Ndipo potero Ine ndikuwuzani inu, tchimo lililonse ndi cha mwano chilichonse zidzakhululukidwa kwa anthu koma chamwano cha pa Mzimu Woyera, sichidzakhululukidwa.
Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 Aliyense amene anena mawu otsutsana ndi Mwana wa Munthu adzakhululukidwa koma aliyense wonena motsutsana ndi Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa mu mʼbado uno kapena umene ukubwerawo. (aiōn g165)
Whoever speaks any word against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, that will not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 “Mtengo wabwino umabala zipatso zabwino ndipo mtengo woyipa umabalanso zipatso zoyipa, pajatu mtengo umadziwika ndi zipatso zake.
Make a tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
34 Ana anjoka inu, woyipa inu, mungathe bwanji kuyankhula kanthu kalikonse kabwino? Pakuti pakamwa pamayankhula zosefuka kuchokera mu mtima.
You offspring of vipers, since you are evil, how can you say good things? For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
35 Munthu wabwino amatulutsa zinthu zabwino zomwe zili mumtima mwake ndipo munthu woyipa amatulutsanso zinthu zoyipa zomwe zili mwa iye.
The good man from the good treasure of his heart produces what is good, and the evil man from the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil.
36 Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti pa tsiku la chiweruziro munthu adzazengedwa mlandu chifukwa cha mawu aliwonse wopanda pake amene anayankhula.
I say to you that in the day of judgment people will give an account for every idle word they will have said.
37 Pakuti ndi mawu anu mudzapezeka osalakwa ndiponso ndi mawu anu mudzapezeka olakwa.”
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38 Pamenepo ena mwa Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anati kwa Iye, “Aphunzitsi, tikufuna tione chizindikiro chodabwitsa kuchokera kwa Inu.”
Then certain scribes and Pharisees answered Jesus and said, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.”
39 Iye anayankha kuti, “Mʼbado woyipa ndi wachigololo ufunsa za chizindikiro chodabwitsa! Koma ndi chimodzi chomwe sichidzapatsidwa kwa inu kupatula chizindikiro cha mneneri Yona.
But Jesus answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign. But no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Pakuti monga Yona anali mʼmimba mwa nsomba yayikulu masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, momwemonso Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, mʼkati mwa nthaka.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the big fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Anthu a ku Ninive adzayimirira pachiweruzo ndi mʼbado uwu ndi kuwutsutsa pakuti iwo analapa Yona atalalikira ndipo tsopano wamkulu kuposa Yona ali pano.
The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation of people and will condemn it. For they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and see, someone greater than Jonah is here.
42 Mfumu yayikazi yakummwera idzayimirira pa tsiku lachiweruzo ndi mʼbado uwu ndipo idzawutsutsa pakuti inachokera kumathero a dziko lapansi kudzamva nzeru za Solomoni, ndipo pano pali woposa Solomoni.
The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them. She came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and see, someone greater than Solomon is here.
43 “Pamene mzimu woyipa utuluka mwa munthu, umadutsa malo wopanda madzi kufunafuna malo opumulira ndipo suwapeza.
When an unclean spirit has gone away from a man, it passes through waterless places and looks for rest, but does not find it.
44 Pamenepo umati, ‘Ndidzabwerera ku nyumba yanga komwe ndinatuluka.’ Pamene ufika, upeza mopanda kanthu, mosesedwa ndi mokonzedwa bwino.
Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' Having returned, it finds that house swept out and put in order.
45 Kenaka umapita kukatenga mizimu ina isanu ndi iwiri yoyipa kwambiri kuposa uwowo ndipo imapita ndi kukakhala mʼmenemo. Choncho khalidwe lotsiriza la munthu uyu limakhala loyipa kwambiri kuposa loyambalo. Umo ndi mmene zidzakhalire ndi mʼbado oyipawu.”
Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all come in to live there. Then the final condition of that man becomes worse than the first. It will be just like that with this evil generation.”
46 Pamene Yesu anali kuyankhulabe ndi gulu la anthu, amayi ndi abale ake anayimirira kunja, akufuna kuyankhulana naye.
While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Wina anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anu ayima kunjaku akufuna kuyankhulana nanu.”
Someone said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 Iye anayankha kuti, “Amayi anga ndani ndipo abale anga ndi ndani?”
But Jesus answered and said to him who told him, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?”
49 Ndipo akuloza ophunzira ake, Iye anati, “Awa ndiwo amayi anga ndi abale anga.
Then he stretched out his hand toward his disciples and said, “See, here are my mother and my brothers!
50 Pakuti aliyense amene achita chifuniro cha Atate anga akumwamba ndiye mʼbale wanga, mlongo wanga ndi amayi anga.”
For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that person is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
