Mateyu 19
1 Yesu atatsiriza kunena zinthu zimenezi, anachoka ku Galileya ndi kupita ku chigawo cha Yudeya mbali ina ya mtsinje wa Yorodani.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee and came into the regions of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Magulu akulu a anthu anamutsatira Iye, ndipo iwo anachiritsidwa pomwepo.
And many multitudes followed him and he healed them there.
3 Afarisi ena anabwera kwa Iye kudzamuyesa. Anamufunsa Iye nati, “Kodi ndikololedwa kuti mwamuna amuleke mkazi wake pa chifukwa china chilichonse?”
And Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying to him, Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?
4 Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge kuti pachiyambi Mulungu analenga iwo, ‘mwamuna ndi mkazi?’
And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Ndipo anati, ‘Pa chifukwa ichi mwamuna adzasiya abambo ake ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake, ndipo awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.’
and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh?
6 Motero salinso awiri ayi koma mmodzi. Nʼchifukwa chake chimene Mulungu wachimanga pamodzi munthu wina asachilekanitse.”
So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.
7 Ndipo iwo anamufunsa nati, “Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani Mose analamula kuti mwamuna azipatsa mkazi wake kalata ya chisudzulo ndi kumuchotsa?”
They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her?
8 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mose anakulolezani kuti muzisudzula akazi anu chifukwa cha kuwuma mitima kwanu. Koma sizinali chotere kuyambira pachiyambi.
He says to them, For your hard heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it did not happen this way.
9 Ine ndikuwuzani kuti aliyense amene asudzula mkazi wake, osati chifukwa cha chiwerewere nakakwatira mkazi wina, achita chigololo.”
And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.
10 Ophunzira ake anati kwa Iye, “Ngati umu ndi mmene zilili pa mwamuna ndi mkazi, kuli bwino kusakwatira.”
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man with his wife is this way, it is not advantageous to marry.
11 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Si aliyense amene angavomere chiphunzitso ichi, koma kwa okhawo amene achimvetsetsa.
But he said to them, Not all men can accommodate this saying, but to whom it has been given.
12 Pakuti ena ndi akuti sangakwatire chifukwa anabadwa motero, ena ali motero chifukwa chofulidwa ndi anthu ndipo ena anawukana ukwati chifukwa cha ufumu wakumwamba. Iye amene angalandire ichi alandire.”
For there are eunuchs who were born this way from their mother's belly, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Pamenepo anabwera nawo ana kwa Yesu kuti awasanjike manja ndi kuwapempherera. Koma ophunzira ake anadzudzula amene anabweretsa anawo.
Then children were brought to him, so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Yesu anati, “Lolani ana abwere kwa Ine, ndipo musawaletse pakuti ufumu wakumwamba ndi wa iwo onga anawa.”
But Jesus said, Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such kind is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 Atasanjika manja ake pa anawo, anachokapo.
And having laid his hands on them, he departed from there.
16 Taonani mnyamata wina anabwera kwa Yesu namufunsa kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndi chinthu chiti chabwino chimene ndiyenera kuchita kuti ndipeze moyo wosatha?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold one man having come to him, said, Good teacher, what good thing should I do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ukundifunsiranji Ine za chinthu chimene ndi chabwino? Pali mmodzi yekha amene ndi wabwino. Ngati ukufuna kulowa mʼmoyo wosatha mvera malamulo.”
And he said to him, Why do thou call me good? There is none good except one, God. But if thou want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Mnyamatayo anamufunsa kuti, “Ndi ati?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Usaphe, usachite chigololo, usabe, usapereke umboni onama,
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely.
19 lemekeza abambo ako ndi amayi ako ndipo konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini.”
Honor the father and mother, and, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 Mnyamatayo anati, “Zonsezi ndimazisunga, nanga chatsala ndi chiyani?”
The young man says to him, All these things I have kept from my youthfulness. What do I lack yet?
21 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati ukufuna kukhala wangwiro, pita kagulitse katundu wako ndi kupereka kwa osauka, ndipo udzakhala ndi chuma kumwamba. Ukakachita zimenezi, ukabwere udzanditsate Ine.”
Jesus said to him, If thou want to be perfect, go, sell the things being possessed by thee, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
22 Mnyamatayo atamva zimenezi, anachoka mokhumudwa, chifukwa anali ndi chuma chambiri.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23 Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti nʼkovuta kuti olemera akalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens difficultly.
24 Komanso ndikuwuzani kuti, nʼkwapafupi kuti ngamira idzere pa kabowo ka zingano kusiyana ndi kuti wolemera akalowe mu ufumu wa Mulungu.”
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Ophunzira atamva zimenezi, anadabwa kwambiri ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Nanga angapulumuke ndani?”
And when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Yesu anawayangʼana iwo nati, “Ndi anthu, izi nʼzosatheka, koma ndi Mulungu zinthu zonse zimatheka.”
And having looked, Jesus said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
27 Petro anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Ife tinasiya zonse ndi kukutsatirani Inu! Nanga tsono ife tidzalandira chiyani?”
Then having answered, Peter said to him, Lo, we have forsaken all, and followed thee. What then will be for us?
28 Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti pa nthawi yokonzanso zinthu zonse, pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala pa mpando wake waufumu mu ulemerero wake kumwamba, inu amene mwanditsata Ine mudzakhalanso pa mipando khumi ndi iwiri yaufumu, kuweruza mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Ndipo aliyense amene wasiya nyumba, kapena abale, kapena alongo, kapena bambo kapena mayi kapena mkazi, kapena ana, kapena minda chifukwa cha Ine adzalandira madalitso ochuluka ndi kulandiranso moyo wosatha. (aiōnios g166)
And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Koma ambiri amene ali oyambirira adzakhala omalizira, ndipo ambiri amene ndi omalizira adzakhala oyambirira.”
But many first will be last, and last, first.
