< 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 began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.
2 Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji kwa itagu. Mmajiganyo gakwe ŵaasalile.
And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
3 “Mpilikanichisye! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
4 Paŵamisaga, mbeju sine syagwilile mwitala ni ijuni yaiche ni kusimila.
And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa lwala papaliji ni litaka kanandi, mbeju syamesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyakwe lyaliji kanandi.
And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Ni palyakopweche lyuŵa lyatinisye mimela, ligongo michiga jakwe nganijijinjilisya paasi.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa miiŵa, miiŵa jila jakusile ni kuiŵijikanya mimela, nombe mimela jo nganijisogola isogosi.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded 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 others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
9 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane.”
And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
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 in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
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 hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
12 kuti, ‘Alolechesye, nambo anaone. Apilikanile, nambo anaimanyilile. Pakuŵa amanyililaga chiŵagalauchile Akunnungu, nombejo akaalechelesye sambi syao.’”
hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Uli ngankugamanyilila malumbo ga chitagu chi? Nambi chimmanyilile chinauli malumbo ga itagu ine?
And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
14 Jwakupanda mbeju akupanda Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
The sower soweth 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, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
16 Ni ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa lwala. Ŵandu wo apilikanaga Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, papopo akulijitichisya mu kusangalala.
And these in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive 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 have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
18 Ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa miiŵa. Ŵandu wo ni ŵeŵala ŵakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu,
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear 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 )
but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn )
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 are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
22 Iyoyo, chindu chachilichose chachisisikwe chichioneche pakulanguka, ni chachilichose cheunichikwe chichiunukulikwe.
For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
23 Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane!”
If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
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 heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
25 Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe ni mundu jwanganakola chindu chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakwete.”
For he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
26 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni mundu jwakumisa mbeju mu ngunda.
And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
27 Chilo akugona ni muusi akuŵa meeso, mbeju sikumela ni kukula. Nombejo ngakuimanyilila yaikutendekwa.
and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
28 Litaka lisyene likutendekasya mmela kukula ni kusogola. Kundanda ukumela, sooni ukukoposya lisache kumbesi ukusogola ngano.
For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 isogosi yakomalaga pe, mundu jula akugungula ni chikwakwa chakwe, pakuŵa katema ka magungulo kaiche.”
But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana tutuulandanichisye ni chichi Umwenye wa Akunnungu? Kwaali tuutanje kwa chitagu chi?
And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
31 Ukulandana ni mbeju ja haladali, mbeju jamwana nnope kupunda mbeju syose syasikupandikwa pachilambo.
It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in 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.”
and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
33 Che Yesu ŵalalichile ŵandu utenga wao kwa itagu yejinji yanti yele, ŵakungulwiche nawo mpela iŵatite pakukombola ŵanyawo kumanyilila.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
34 Nganaŵecheta ni ŵandu chachilichose pangali itagu, nambo paŵaliji pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao pachisyepela ŵatagulile yose.
But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
35 Lyuŵa lilyolyo ligulo, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe, “Tujombochele peesi litanda.”
And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass 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 leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
37 Nipele jatandite kupuga mbungo jejikulungwa ni matumbela gajiputile ngalaŵa jila, nombejo jatandite gumbala meesi.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
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 was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
39 Che Yesu ŵajimwiche, ni kujikalipila mbungo jejikulungwa ni kugasalila matumbela, “Tulalani!” Papopo mbungo jatulele ni kwaliji jii.
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, 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 ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
41 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajogwepe nnope ni ŵausyanaga, “Ana jweleju ali mundu jwanti uli? Mpaka chimbunga ni matumbela ikwapilikanila!”
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
