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.
Once again Jesus began to teach by the sea, and a large crowd was gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat in it on the sea, while the entire crowd was beside the sea on the shore.
2 Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji kwa itagu. Mmajiganyo gakwe ŵaasalile.
Then he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,
3 “Mpilikanichisye! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
“Listen! A sower went out to sow.
4 Paŵamisaga, mbeju sine syagwilile mwitala ni ijuni yaiche ni kusimila.
As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa lwala papaliji ni litaka kanandi, mbeju syamesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyakwe lyaliji kanandi.
Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up immediately because it had no depth of soil.
6 Ni palyakopweche lyuŵa lyatinisye mimela, ligongo michiga jakwe nganijijinjilisya paasi.
But when the sun rose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Mbeju sine syagwilile pa miiŵa, miiŵa jila jakusile ni kuiŵijikanya mimela, nombe mimela jo nganijisogola isogosi.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced 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.”
But other seed fell into good soil and produced fruit that grew and increased; some bore thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
9 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane.”
Then he said, “He who has 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.
When he was alone with the twelve and the others who were around him, they asked him about the parable.
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe kumanyilila yantemela ya Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Nambo kwa ŵane ŵaali paasa chalijiganye indu yose kwa itagu pe,
So he said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is spoken in parables,
12 kuti, ‘Alolechesye, nambo anaone. Apilikanile, nambo anaimanyilile. Pakuŵa amanyililaga chiŵagalauchile Akunnungu, nombejo akaalechelesye sambi syao.’”
so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand, lest they should turn back and be forgiven of their sins.’”
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Uli ngankugamanyilila malumbo ga chitagu chi? Nambi chimmanyilile chinauli malumbo ga itagu ine?
Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
14 Jwakupanda mbeju akupanda Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
The sower sows the word.
15 Ŵandu ŵane akulandana ni mbeju sisyagwilile mwitala. Pakulipilikana Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, Shetani akwika ni kulityosya Liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jao.
Now some people are like the seed along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in their hearts.
16 Ni ŵandu ŵane ali mpela mbeju sisyagwilile pa lwala. Ŵandu wo apilikanaga Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, papopo akulijitichisya mu kusangalala.
Likewise, some people are like the seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, they 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.
Yet they have no root in themselves, but are only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises 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,
Others are like the seed sown among the thorns. They 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)
but the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (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.”
But others are like the seed sown on the good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and bear fruit—some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
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.
He also said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed? Is it not brought in to be set on a lampstand?
22 Iyoyo, chindu chachilichose chachisisikwe chichioneche pakulanguka, ni chachilichose cheunichikwe chichiunukulikwe.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest, nor has anything been made secret except to come to light.
23 Ŵaali ni mapilikanilo gakupilikana, apilikane!”
If anyone has 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.
Then he said to them, “Consider what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you who hear.
25 Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe ni mundu jwanganakola chindu chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakwete.”
For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni mundu jwakumisa mbeju mu ngunda.
He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 Chilo akugona ni muusi akuŵa meeso, mbeju sikumela ni kukula. Nombejo ngakuimanyilila yaikutendekwa.
He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.
28 Litaka lisyene likutendekasya mmela kukula ni kusogola. Kundanda ukumela, sooni ukukoposya lisache kumbesi ukusogola ngano.
For the earth produces a crop by itself: first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
29 isogosi yakomalaga pe, mundu jula akugungula ni chikwakwa chakwe, pakuŵa katema ka magungulo kaiche.”
When the crop is ready, the man immediately sends in the sickle, for the harvest has come.”
30 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana tutuulandanichisye ni chichi Umwenye wa Akunnungu? Kwaali tuutanje kwa chitagu chi?
Then Jesus said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parable can we use to describe 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 on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on 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.”
Yet when it is sown, it grows and becomes larger than all the garden plants and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”
33 Che Yesu ŵalalichile ŵandu utenga wao kwa itagu yejinji yanti yele, ŵakungulwiche nawo mpela iŵatite pakukombola ŵanyawo kumanyilila.
With many similar parables he spoke the word to them, to the extent that they were able to understand it.
34 Nganaŵecheta ni ŵandu chachilichose pangali itagu, nambo paŵaliji pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao pachisyepela ŵatagulile yose.
He did not speak to them without using a parable, but privately he explained everything to his disciples.
35 Lyuŵa lilyolyo ligulo, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe, “Tujombochele peesi litanda.”
On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.”
36 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu ula, ni kwinjila mu ngalaŵa jiŵaliji Che Yesu ni kwaula nawo. Ilaila paliji ni ngalaŵa sine.
So they left the crowd and took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other little boats were also with him.
37 Nipele jatandite kupuga mbungo jejikulungwa ni matumbela gajiputile ngalaŵa jila, nombejo jatandite gumbala meesi.
Now a great windstorm arose, and the waves were beating against the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38 Che Yesu ŵaliji panyuma mu ngalaŵa ali agonile pa nsamilo. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaajimwisye ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, ana uli ngankuikosya kuti uweji tulinkonasika?”
But Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do yoʋ not care that we are perishing?”
39 Che Yesu ŵajimwiche, ni kujikalipila mbungo jejikulungwa ni kugasalila matumbela, “Tulalani!” Papopo mbungo jatulele ni kwaliji jii.
Then he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” So the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Kwachichi nkogopanga? Ana nganimme kola chikulupi?”
Then he said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajogwepe nnope ni ŵausyanaga, “Ana jweleju ali mundu jwanti uli? Mpaka chimbunga ni matumbela ikwapilikanila!”
And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
