Maliko 4
1 Che Yesu ŵatandite sooni kwiganya ali mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya. Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wansyungwile mpaka ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama mmomo. Ŵandu wose ŵatemi mungulugulu litanda.
And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.
2 Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji kwa itagu. Mmajiganyo gakwe ŵaasalile.
And he gave them teaching about a number of things in the form of stories, and said to them in his teaching, Give ear:
3 “Mpilikanichisye! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
A man went out to put seed in the earth:
4 Paŵamisaga, mbeju sine syagwilile mwitala ni ijuni yaiche ni kusimila.
And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.
5 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa lwala papaliji ni litaka kanandi, mbeju syamesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyakwe lyaliji kanandi.
And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:
6 Ni palyakopweche lyuŵa lyatinisye mimela, ligongo michiga jakwe nganijijinjilisya paasi.
And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.
7 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa miiŵa, miiŵa jila jakusile ni kuiŵijikanya mimela, nombe mimela jo nganijisogola isogosi.
And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.
8 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa chaajila, syamesile ni syakusile ni kusogola. Sine syasogwele makumi gatatu ni sine makumi nsano ni limo ni sine makumi likumi.”
And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.
9 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane.”
And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear.
10 Che Yesu paŵaliji pajika, ŵane mwa ŵaŵampilikene ŵala pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵanjaulile ni kumbusya malumbo ga itagu yo.
And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe kumanyilila yantemela ya Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Nambo kwa ŵane ŵaali paasa chalijiganye indu yose kwa itagu pe,
And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;
12 kuti, ‘Alolechesye, nambo anaone. Apilikanile, nambo anaimanyilile. Pakuŵa amanyililaga chiŵagalauchile Akunnungu, nombejo akaalechelesye sambi syao.’”
So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Uli ngankugamanyilila malumbo ga chitagu chi? Nambi chimmanyilile chinauli malumbo ga itagu ine?
And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?
14 Jwakupanda mbeju akupanda Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
The seed is the word.
15 Ŵandu ŵane akulandana ni mbeju sisyagwilile mwitala. Pakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, Shetani akwika ni kulityosya Liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jao.
And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.
16 Ni ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa lwala. Ŵandu wo apilikanaga Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, papopo akulijitichisya mu kusangalala.
And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;
17 Nambo ngalikwajinjila ni kola michiga mwa ŵanyawo, akulikamulisya kwa katema kakajipi. Nipele, kwatyochelaga kulaga pane masauko ligongo lya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lila, pelepo akulilekanga.
And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.
18 Ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa miiŵa. Ŵandu wo ni ŵeŵala ŵakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu,
And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,
19 ligongo lya lipamba lya umi wu ni kunonyelwa ni ipanje pamo ni kulajila indu ine yejinji, ikwajinjila ni kuliŵijikanya Liloŵe lyo, nombewo ngakukombola kulijitichisya Liloŵe yalikuti ni kusogola isogosi. (aiōn g165)
And the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, and the desire for other things coming in, put a stop to the growth of the word, and it gives no fruit. (aiōn g165)
20 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa chaajila sila. Ŵelewo akulipilikana Liloŵe lyo ni kulijitichisya, nombewo akusogola isogosi ŵane makumi gatatu ni ŵane makumi nsano ni limo ni ŵane makumi likumi.”
And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.
21 Che Yesu ŵapundile kwasalila, “Ana mundu akupamba lumuli ni kuluikanawo nkati ni kuluunichila ni lulo pane kuluŵika kuusi chindanda? Ngwamba! Akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli.
And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?
22 Iyoyo, chindu chachilichose chachisisikwe chichioneche pakulanguka, ni chachilichose cheunichikwe chichiunukulikwe.
There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.
23 Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane!”
If any man has ears, let him give ear.
24 Ni ŵapundile kwasalila, “Mpilikanichisye yambone inkwipikana yo! Lilamulo lilalila linkwalamulila ŵandu ŵane, Akunnungu chaachinnamulila ni ŵanyamwe wakwe, sooni chanjonjechesye.
And he said to them, Take care what you give ear to: in the same measure as you give you will get, and more will be given to you.
25 Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe ni mundu jwanganakola chindu chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakwete.”
He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.
26 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni mundu jwakumisa mbeju mu ngunda.
And he said, Such is the kingdom of God, as if a man put seed in the earth,
27 Chilo akugona ni muusi akuŵa meeso, mbeju sikumela ni kukula. Nombejo ngakuimanyilila yaikutendekwa.
And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.
28 Litaka lisyene likutendekasya mmela kukula ni kusogola. Kundanda ukumela, sooni ukukoposya lisache kumbesi ukusogola ngano.
The earth gives fruit by herself; first the leaf, then the head, then the full grain.
29 isogosi yakomalaga pe, mundu jula akugungula ni chikwakwa chakwe, pakuŵa katema ka magungulo kaiche.”
But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.
30 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana tutuulandanichisye ni chichi Umwenye wa Akunnungu? Kwaali tuutanje kwa chitagu chi?
And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?
31 Ukulandana ni mbeju ja haladali, mbeju jamwana nnope kupunda mbeju syose syasikupandikwa pachilambo.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is put in the earth, is smaller than all the seeds on the earth,
32 Nambo japandikwaga jikukula ni kuŵa chitela chachikulungwa kupunda mimela jose ja mu ngunda, nombecho chikuŵa ni nyambi syasikulungwa nnope ni ijuni ikwika kutaŵa isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.
33 Che Yesu ŵalalichile ŵandu utenga wao kwa itagu yejinji yanti yele, ŵakungulwiche nawo mpela iŵatite pakukombola ŵanyawo kumanyilila.
And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:
34 Nganaŵecheta ni ŵandu chachilichose pangali itagu, nambo paŵaliji pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao pachisyepela ŵatagulile yose.
And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.
35 Lyuŵa lilyolyo ligulo, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe, “Tujombochele peesi litanda.”
And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.
36 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu ula, ni kwinjila mu ngalaŵa jiŵaliji Che Yesu ni kwaula nawo. Ilaila paliji ni ngalaŵa sine.
And going away from the people, they took him with them, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Nipele jatandite kupuga mbungo jejikulungwa ni matumbela gajiputile ngalaŵa jila, nombejo jatandite gumbala meesi.
And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.
38 Che Yesu ŵaliji panyuma mu ngalaŵa ali agonile pa nsamilo. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaajimwisye ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, ana uli ngankuikosya kuti uweji tulinkonasika?”
And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?
39 Che Yesu ŵajimwiche, ni kujikalipila mbungo jejikulungwa ni kugasalila matumbela, “Tulalani!” Papopo mbungo jatulele ni kwaliji jii.
And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.
40 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Kwachichi nkogopanga? Ana nganimme kola chikulupi?”
And he said to them, Why are you full of fear? have you still no faith?
41 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajogwepe nnope ni ŵausyanaga, “Ana jweleju ali mundu jwanti uli? Mpaka chimbunga ni matumbela ikwapilikanila!”
And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?
