< Maliko 2 >

1 Pagapite moŵa gampepe, Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni ku Kapelenaumu ni ŵandu ŵapilikene kuti ali pamusi.
And Jesus again entered into Capernaum, after some days. And when they heard that he was in the house,
2 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji ŵasongangene atamuno nganilisigala lipesa lyalililyose, ni ŵagumbele mpaka paluŵala. Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
many were assembled, so that the house could not contain them, not even before the door. And he held discourse with them.
3 Pelepo ŵandu ncheche, ŵannyichisye mundu jwatatele ku Che Yesu.
And they came to him and brought to him a paralytic, borne between four persons.
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 as they could not come near him on account of the crowd, they ascended to the roof, and removed the covering of the place where Jesus was, and let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
5 Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao chila, ŵansalile jwakutatala jula, “Mwanangu, nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic: My 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 Scribes and Pharisees there, who sat and reasoned in their hearts:
7 “Ana akukombola chinauli kuŵecheta yelei? Akwatukana Akunnungu! Akunnungu pe ni ŵakukombola kulechelesya sambi.”
Who is this speaking, blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, except God only?
8 Papopo Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile yanayose iŵaganisyaga mmitima jao, ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkuganisya yelei mmitima jenu?
And Jesus knew, in his spirit, that they thus reasoned in themselves; and he said to them: Why reason ye thus in your heart?
9 Ana chapi chachili chakwepepala, kunsalila mundu jwatatele ju, ‘Nlecheleswe sambi syenu,’ pane kunsalila, ‘Njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu njende’?
Which is the easier, to say to a paralytic, 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 ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic,
11 “Ngunsalila, njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu, njaule kumangwenu!”
I say to thee, Arise, take thy bed, and go to 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 he arose in that hour, took up his bed, and departed in presence of them all: so that they were all amazed, and praised 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 again to the sea; 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 as he passed along he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting among the publicans. And he said to him: Come after me. And he arose and went after 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 was so, that as he reclined in his Levi's house, many publicans and sinners reclined with Jesus and with his disciples: for they 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?”
And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw that he ate with publicans and with sinners, they said to his disciples: Why doth he 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.”
When Jesus heard it, he said to them: The healthy need not a physician, but those laboring under disease: I came, not to call the righteous, 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 disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasters; and they came and said to him: Why are the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fasters, and thy disciples fast not?
19 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ŵakuŵilanjikwa ku ulombela akukombola kutaŵa ni jwanlombela ali pamo nawo? Ngwamba! Ngaakukombola kutaŵa.
Jesus said to them: Can the guests of the nuptial chamber fast so long as the bridegroom is with them? No.
20 Nambo chiliiche lyuŵa mlombela jo pachajigalikwe mwa ŵanyawo, moŵa go ni pachachitaŵa.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken 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 taketh a patch of new cloth and seweth it upon an old garment, lest the supplemental new should take from the old, and the rent become the greater.
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 one putteth new wine into old sacks, lest the wine burst the sacks, and the sacks be spoiled, and the wine spilled; but they put new wine into new sacks.
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 was so, that as Jesus on a sabbath walked in the tillage grounds, his disciples walked and plucked the ears.
24 Mafalisayo ŵaausisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Nnole! Ligongo chi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akutenda yaikanichikwe kuipanganya pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
And the Pharisees said to him: See, how on the sabbath, they do that which is not lawful?
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nganinsyome iŵatesile che Daudi ni achinjakwe pajakwete sala?
Jesus said to them: Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and his attendants?
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 the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Lord's table, which it was not lawful for any but priests to eat, and gave it also to those 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 on man's account, and not man for the sake of the sabbath.
28 Nipele Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje atamuno pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Therefore also the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
