< Maliko 2 >

1 Pagapite moŵa gampepe, Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni ku Kapelenaumu ni ŵandu ŵapilikene kuti ali pamusi.
And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days.
2 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji ŵasongangene atamuno nganilisigala lipesa lyalililyose, ni ŵagumbele mpaka paluŵala. Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
And it was heard that he was in the house, and many came together, so that there was no room; no, not even at the door; and he spoke to them the word.
3 Pelepo ŵandu ncheche, ŵannyichisye mundu jwatatele ku Che Yesu.
And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.
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.
And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.
5 Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao chila, ŵansalile jwakutatala jula, “Mwanangu, nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 Ŵampepe mwa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ŵaŵatemi pepala, ŵaliji nkuliusya mmitima jao,
And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:
7 “Ana akukombola chinauli kuŵecheta yelei? Akwatukana Akunnungu! Akunnungu pe ni ŵakukombola kulechelesya sambi.”
Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
8 Papopo Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile yanayose iŵaganisyaga mmitima jao, ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkuganisya yelei mmitima jenu?
Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you 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 say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy 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 hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy, )
11 “Ngunsalila, njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu, njaule kumangwenu!”
I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
12 Ŵandu paŵannolechesyaga, mundu jula ŵajimwiche, ŵajigele chitagala chao ni kukopoka. Ŵandu wose ŵasimosile ni kwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Ngapagwa kose patwaiweni yanti yeleyi!”
And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.
13 Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya. Mpingo wa ŵandu wanjaulile ni Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya.
And he went forth again to the sea side; and 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.
And when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he 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.
And it came to pass, that as he sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also 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?”
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disiples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 Che Yesu paŵapilikene ŵaasalile, “Ŵandu ŵangakulwala ngakunlajila jwantela, nambo ŵakulwala. Une nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵambone, nambo ŵandu ŵa sambi.”
Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.
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?”
And the disiples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?
19 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ŵakuŵilanjikwa ku ulombela akukombola kutaŵa ni jwanlombela ali pamo nawo? Ngwamba! Ngaakukombola kutaŵa.
And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as 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 shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days.
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 man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent.
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.”
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.
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.
And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward, and to pluck the ears of corn.
24 Mafalisayo ŵaausisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Nnole! Ligongo chi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akutenda yaikanichikwe kuipanganya pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nganinsyome iŵatesile che Daudi ni achinjakwe pajakwete sala?
And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry himself, and they that 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 went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them 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.
And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
28 Nipele Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje atamuno pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
