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 side of the sea. And great multitudes were assembled about him; so that he embarked and sat in a ship on the sea, and all the multitude stood on the land by the side of the sea.
2 Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji kwa itagu. Mmajiganyo gakwe ŵaasalile.
And he taught them much by similitudes. And in his teaching, he said:
3 “Mpilikanichisye! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
Hear ye: Behold a sower went forth to sow.
4 Paŵamisaga, mbeju sine syagwilile mwitala ni ijuni yaiche ni kusimila.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the side of the path; and a bird came, and devoured it.
5 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa lwala papaliji ni litaka kanandi, mbeju syamesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyakwe lyaliji kanandi.
And other seed fell on a rock, so that it had not much earth; and it soon shot up, because it had no depth of earth.
6 Ni palyakopweche lyuŵa lyatinisye mimela, ligongo michiga jakwe nganijijinjilisya paasi.
But when the sun was up, it wilted; and because it had no root, it dried up.
7 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa miiŵa, miiŵa jila jakusile ni kuiŵijikanya mimela, nombe mimela jo nganijisogola isogosi.
And other seed fell among thorns. And the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruits.
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 other seed fell on good ground, and came up, and grew, and yielded fruits; some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.
9 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane.”
And he said: Whoever 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 they were by themselves, those with him, together with the twelve, asked him concerning this similitude.
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe kumanyilila yantemela ya Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Nambo kwa ŵane ŵaali paasa chalijiganye indu yose kwa itagu pe,
And Jesus said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them without, all is in similitudes:
12 kuti, ‘Alolechesye, nambo anaone. Apilikanile, nambo anaimanyilile. Pakuŵa amanyililaga chiŵagalauchile Akunnungu, nombejo akaalechelesye sambi syao.’”
that when they see, they may see and not see, and when they hear, they may hear and not understand; lest they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Uli ngankugamanyilila malumbo ga chitagu chi? Nambi chimmanyilile chinauli malumbo ga itagu ine?
And he said to them: Do ye not understand this similitude? And how will ye understand all similitudes?
14 Jwakupanda mbeju akupanda Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
The sower that sowed, sowed the word.
15 Ŵandu ŵane akulandana ni mbeju sisyagwilile mwitala. Pakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, Shetani akwika ni kulityosya Liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jao.
And those by the side of the path, are they in whom the word is sown; and as soon as they have heard it, Satan cometh, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Ni ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa lwala. Ŵandu wo apilikanaga Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, papopo akulijitichisya mu kusangalala.
And those sown on the rock, are they who, when they hear the word, immediately with joy receive it.
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 them, but are temporary; and when there is affliction or persecution on account of the word, they are quickly stumbled.
18 Ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa miiŵa. Ŵandu wo ni ŵeŵala ŵakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu,
And those sown among thorns, are they that 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 g165)
and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the residue of other lusts enter in and choke the word, and it is without fruits. (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 those sown on good ground are they that hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruits, by thirties, and by sixties, and by hundreds.
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 placed under a bushel, or under a bed? Is it not to be placed on a light-stand?
22 Iyoyo, chindu chachilichose chachisisikwe chichioneche pakulanguka, ni chachilichose cheunichikwe chichiunukulikwe.
For there is nothing hid, which will not be exposed; and nothing concealed, which will not be made manifest.
23 Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane!”
If any one have 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 measure, it shall be measured to you: and there shall more be given to you who hear.
25 Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe ni mundu jwanganakola chindu chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakwete.”
For to him that hath, will more be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath, will be taken from him.
26 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni mundu jwakumisa mbeju mu ngunda.
And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
27 Chilo akugona ni muusi akuŵa meeso, mbeju sikumela ni kukula. Nombejo ngakuimanyilila yaikutendekwa.
and should sleep and rise, by night and by day, and the seed should grow an shoot up, he knoweth not how.
28 Litaka lisyene likutendekasya mmela kukula ni kusogola. Kundanda ukumela, sooni ukukoposya lisache kumbesi ukusogola ngano.
For the earth bringeth forth the fruit; first the plant, and subsequently the ear, and at last the complete wheat in the ear.
29 isogosi yakomalaga pe, mundu jula akugungula ni chikwakwa chakwe, pakuŵa katema ka magungulo kaiche.”
And when the fruit is ripe, immediately cometh the sickle, because the harvest hath arrived.
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? and with what similitude shall we compare it?
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 sown in the earth, is the least of all seeds sown 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.”
and when it is sown it springeth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and produceth great branches, so that birds can lodge under its shadow.
33 Che Yesu ŵalalichile ŵandu utenga wao kwa itagu yejinji yanti yele, ŵakungulwiche nawo mpela iŵatite pakukombola ŵanyawo kumanyilila.
And by many such similitudes, similitudes such as they could hear, Jesus discoursed with the people.
34 Nganaŵecheta ni ŵandu chachilichose pangali itagu, nambo paŵaliji pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao pachisyepela ŵatagulile yose.
And without similitudes he did not converse with them: but to his disciples, between himself and them, he explained every thing.
35 Lyuŵa lilyolyo ligulo, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe, “Tujombochele peesi litanda.”
And he said to them, the same day at evening: 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 they sent away the multitudes: and they conducted him in the ship as he was. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 Nipele jatandite kupuga mbungo jejikulungwa ni matumbela gajiputile ngalaŵa jila, nombejo jatandite gumbala meesi.
And there was a great tempest and wind: and the waves beat upon the ship, and it was near being filled.
38 Che Yesu ŵaliji panyuma mu ngalaŵa ali agonile pa nsamilo. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaajimwisye ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, ana uli ngankuikosya kuti uweji tulinkonasika?”
And Jesus was asleep on a pillow in the hinder part of the ship. And they came and awoke him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, carest thou not, that we perish?
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 sea: Cease; 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 were ye so fearful? and why have ye not faith?
41 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajogwepe nnope ni ŵausyanaga, “Ana jweleju ali mundu jwanti uli? Mpaka chimbunga ni matumbela ikwapilikanila!”
And they feared with great fear: and they said, one to another: Who is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
