< Maliko 2 >
1 Pagapite moŵa gampepe, Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni ku Kapelenaumu ni ŵandu ŵapilikene kuti ali pamusi.
When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
2 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji ŵasongangene atamuno nganilisigala lipesa lyalililyose, ni ŵagumbele mpaka paluŵala. Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Pelepo ŵandu ncheche, ŵannyichisye mundu jwatatele ku Che Yesu.
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 Nambo kwaligongo lya winji wa ŵandu, nganakombola kunjausya jwakulwala pachiŵandi ni Che Yesu. Nipele, ŵapesekwile pa chipagala cha nyuumba palapala paŵaliji Che Yesu. Pelepo ŵantulwisye mundu jo ali agonile pa chitagala.
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao chila, ŵansalile jwakutatala jula, “Mwanangu, nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 Ŵampepe mwa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ŵaŵatemi pepala, ŵaliji nkuliusya mmitima jao,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Ana akukombola chinauli kuŵecheta yelei? Akwatukana Akunnungu! Akunnungu pe ni ŵakukombola kulechelesya sambi.”
“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 Papopo Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile yanayose iŵaganisyaga mmitima jao, ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkuganisya yelei mmitima jenu?
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Ana chapi chachili chakwepepala, kunsalila mundu jwatatele ju, ‘Nlecheleswe sambi syenu,’ pane kunsalila, ‘Njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu njende’?
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
10 Nipele, ngusaka mmanyilile kuti Mwana jwa Mundu akwete ulamusi wa kulechelesya sambi sya ŵandu pachilambo pano.” Papopo ŵansalile mundu jwatatele jula,
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
11 “Ngunsalila, njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu, njaule kumangwenu!”
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
12 Ŵandu paŵannolechesyaga, mundu jula ŵajimwiche, ŵajigele chitagala chao ni kukopoka. Ŵandu wose ŵasimosile ni kwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Ngapagwa kose patwaiweni yanti yeleyi!”
He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya. Mpingo wa ŵandu wanjaulile ni Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya.
He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 Paŵaliji nkupita, ŵammweni che Lawi mwanache ju che Alufayo ali atemi pa nyuumba ja kukumbikanyila nsongo. Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munguye!” Che Lawi ŵajimi ni ŵankuiye.
As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
15 Kanyuma, Che Yesu ŵatemi mu nyuumba ji che Lawi kulya chakulya. Ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵandu ŵa sambi ni ŵandu, ŵaakuiye Che Yesu. Ni ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵaliji nkulya pamo nawo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji Mafalisayo, paŵaiweni kuti Che Yesu akulya pamo ni ŵandu ŵangakukundikwa ni ŵandu ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo, ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala, “Kwachichi akulya ni ŵandu nti ŵeleŵa?”
The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Che Yesu paŵapilikene ŵaasalile, “Ŵandu ŵangakulwala ngakunlajila jwantela, nambo ŵakulwala. Une nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵambone, nambo ŵandu ŵa sambi.”
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18 Katema kampepe ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ni ŵakulijiganya ŵa Mafalisayo ŵaliji nkutaŵa. Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni kumbusya, “Ana ligongo chi ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ni ŵakulijiganya ŵa Mafalisayo akutaŵanga, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵenu ngaakutaŵa?”
John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
19 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ŵakuŵilanjikwa ku ulombela akukombola kutaŵa ni jwanlombela ali pamo nawo? Ngwamba! Ngaakukombola kutaŵa.
Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Nambo chiliiche lyuŵa mlombela jo pachajigalikwe mwa ŵanyawo, moŵa go ni pachachitaŵa.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 “Ngapagwa mundu jwakukata chigamba cha nguo ja sambano ni kuchitotela mu nguo jakuwisala. Pakuŵa atendaga yeleyo chigamba chasambano cho chichinyale ni kupapula nguo jakuwisala jo ni papapapwiche po chipapunde kupapuka.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Ni sooni ngapagwa mundu jwakutaga divai jasambano mmisaku ja mapende jakuwisala. Pakuŵa atendaga yeleyo divai jasambano chijitutumule misaku jo ni kujipapula, divai chijimwasiche ni misaku chijijonasiche. Divai ja sambano jikutajikwa mmisaku ja mapende ja sambano.”
No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 Pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila limo, Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji nkupita mmigunda ja ngano. Paŵaliji nkwenda ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatandite kutema masache ga ngano.
He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Mafalisayo ŵaausisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Nnole! Ligongo chi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akutenda yaikanichikwe kuipanganya pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nganinsyome iŵatesile che Daudi ni achinjakwe pajakwete sala?
He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 Che Daudi ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵalile mikate jijatyochekwe nti sadaka kwa Akunnungu. Yeleyi yatendekwe katema che Abiasali ali Jwambopesi Jwankulu. Ŵambopesi pe ni ŵaŵasachilwe kulya mikate jo, nambo che Daudi ŵalile, sooni ŵapele achinjakwe.”
How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
27 Nipele Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kuŵecheta, “Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyaŵichikwe kwaligongo lya kwakamuchisya ŵandu nambo ngaŵa ŵandu kulitumichila Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28 Nipele Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje atamuno pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
