Matayo 13
1 Ndaŵi jijojo, Che Yesu ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jila, ŵajawile kukutama mungulugulu litanda.
On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 Mipingo jajikulungwa ja ŵandu jansyungwile nipele ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama. Ŵandu wose ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda,
And large crowds were gathered together to Him, so He got into a boat to sit down; and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
3 nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile indu yejinji kwa itagu, achitiji, “Mpilikane! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
Then He spoke many things to them in parables saying: “Listen, a sower went out to sow.
4 “Paŵaliji nkumisa mbeju, sine syapatuchile mungulugulu matala ga mmigunda, nipele yaiche ijuni ni kusimila.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell alongside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Sine syapatuchile mmaganga pangali litaka lyejinji. Syawoneche simesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyaliji kanandi.
Others fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; so they sprouted quickly because they had no depth of earth.
6 Nipele, lyuŵa palyaŵasile syatiniche ligongo michiga jakwe jaliji nganijijinjilisya paasi, syajumwile.
But when the sun came up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
7 Sine syapatuchile pa miiŵa, nombe miiŵa jo jamesile ni kusiŵijikanya.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered them.
8 Sine syapatuchile pa litaka lya chajila, syamesile, ni kusogola, sine mia moja, sine sitini ni sine selasini.
But others fell on the good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Jwakwete mapilikanilo ga kupilikanila, apilikane!”
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao Che Yesu ŵajaulile ni kwausya kuti, “Ana ligongo chi nkuŵecheta ni ŵandu kwa itagu?”
And the disciples approached and said to Him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe ukombole wa kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa kwinani nambo ŵanewo nganapegwa.
So in answer He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
12 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chapegwe ni kujonjecheswa, nambo jwele jwanganakola chindu, atamuno chele chakwete cho chasumulwe.
For whoever has, to him more will be given and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Kwa ligongo lyo nguŵecheta nawo kwa itagu, pakuŵa akulola nambo ngakulola, akupilikana nambo ngakupilikanichisya atamuno ngakumanyilila.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, that seeing they not see and hearing they not hear nor understand.
14 Kwa ŵelewo gamalile agala maloŵe gaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti: ‘Kupilikana chimpilikane nambo ngammanyilila. Kulola chinlolechesye nambo ngammona.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘By hearing you (ye) will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive.
15 Pakuŵa lunda lwa ŵele ŵandu wo lupungwene, agasiŵile mapilikanilo gao, akupilenje. Nambo ikaliji akulola kwa meeso gao, ni kupilikana kwa mapilikanilo gao, nombe akamanyilile kwa lunda lwao, ni kung'alauchila, none ngaalamisye.’
Because the A hearts of this people have grown dull, and their B ears hard of hearing, and their C eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their C eyes and hear with their B ears and understand with their A hearts, and turn around; and I would heal them.’
16 “Nambo nkwete upile ŵanyamwe pakuŵa meeso genu gakulola ni mapilikanilo genu gakupilikana.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
17 Ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵakulondola achajinji ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵasachile kugaona gankugaona nambo nganagaona ni kugapilikana gamkugapilikana nambo nganagapilikana.
for assuredly I say to you that many prophets and righteous ones desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it.
18 “Nipele, ŵanyamwe mpilikane malumbo ga achi chitagu cha jwakupanda chi.
“Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
19 Jwalijose jwakulipilikana liloŵe lyankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu pangalimanyilila, ali mpela mbeju sisyapatuchile mmatala ga mmigunda, Jwangalumbana jula akwika kuchityosya chele chepandikwe mu ntima mwakwe cho.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the malignant one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart—this is the seed sown alongside the road.
20 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile mmaganga, sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulipochela kwa unonyelo.
But the seed sown on stony places—this is he who hears the word and directly receives it with joy,
21 Nambo ngakulikamulichisya ni nganakola michiga nkati mwakwe, akulikamula katema kakajipi pe, pakukutyochela kulaga ni kusauka kwa ligongo lya liloŵe lyo, papopo akuleka kulikulupilila liloŵe.
but he has no root in himself and is short-lived; for when trial or persecution comes because of the word, directly he is offended.
22 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa miiŵa syo sili mpela mundu jwakulipilikana liloŵe, nambo kwa ligongo lya kuchenjeuchila masengo ga umi watulinawo ni kuchinonyela kwannope chipanje kukuliŵijikanya liloŵe lyo, nombejo ngakusogola isogosi, yaani kupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
But the seed sown among the thorns—this is he who hears the word, but the care of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke out the word, and it becomes fruitless. (aiōn g165)
23 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa litaka lyambone sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulimanyilila, jwelejo akupanganya yejinji yambone yaikusachilwa mpela mbeju ijikuti pakusogola, jimo mia moja, jine sitini, ni jine selasini.”
Now the seed sown on the good ground—this is he who hears the word and understands, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
24 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ukulandana ni mundu jwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda wakwe.
He put another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of the heavens is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 Nambo ŵandu paŵaliji agonile, ŵaiche jwammagongo jwakwe, ŵapandile masindi mwepande ngano, ni kutyoka.
but while the people were sleeping his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away.
26 Nipele, pasyamesile mbeju ni kutanda kusogola ni masindi gatandite kuwoneka.
But when the stalk sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
27 Achikapolo ŵa asyene ngunda ŵaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, ngati mwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda mwenu? Sambano gatyochele kwapi masindi?’
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 Nipele ŵatite, ‘Jwammagongo ni jwatesile yeleyo.’ Nipele, achikapolo wakwe ŵaausisye, ‘Uli, nkusaka tujaule tukagatupule?’
He said to them, ‘An enemy did it.’ The servants said to him, ‘So do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29 Nombejo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngwamba, pachintupule masindi, pane chinkatupule pamo ni ngano.
But he said: ‘No, lest gathering up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Nneche ikule yose pamo mpaka katema ka kugungula. Nipele, katema ka kugungula chinjasalila ŵakugungula kuti, nsonganganye kaje masindi nkagataŵikanye ilingo ilingo, nkagatinisye. Nambo ngano nsonganganye ni kutaga mu ngokwe jangu.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaatagulile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali jatosile mundu ni kujipanda mungunda mwakwe.
He put another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Jisyene jili jajinandi kusipunda mbeju sine syose, nambo jamelaga ni kukula jikuŵa jajikulungwa kupunda mimela jose. Ukukula ni kuŵa chitela mpaka ijuni ya mwinani ikwika ni kutaŵa isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
which indeed is smaller than all the seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than all the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and rest in its branches.”
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni amila jajigele jwankongwe jumo, ni kuwanganya ni utandi mbisi siŵili ni nusu, ni utandi wose wasaseŵele.”
He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of the heavens is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.”
34 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu yose kwa itagu. Ni pangali chitagu nganiŵasalila chachili chose.
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable He did not speak to them,
35 Pakuti limalile liloŵe lyaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu: “Chiŵechetenawo kwa itagu, chinaasalile ŵandu indu yaisisikwe chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.”
so that what was spoken through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
36 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaichile ni kwasalila, “Ntugopolele chitagu cha masindi ga mungunda.”
Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples approached Him saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakupanda mbeju syambone ni Mwana jwa Mundu.
So He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of the Man.
38 Nombe ngunda uli chilambo chino. Nombe syele mbeju syambone syo sili ŵele ŵandu ŵati Umwenye uli wo. Nambo masindi ali ŵandu ŵa jwangalumbana jula.
The field is the world; as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, while the tares are the sons of the malignant one.
39 Nombe jwammagongo jwapandile masindi ali Shetani. Magungulo gali mbesi ja chilambo chino, nombe ŵakugungula ali achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Mpela ila masindi igakuti pakusonganganywa ni kutinisya, iyoyo ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino. (aiōn g165)
Therefore just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana jwa Mundu chachalajisya achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti asonganganye kutyochela mu Umwenye wao wose aŵala ŵakwaleŵekasya ŵandu atende sambi ni wose ŵatesile ya sambi.
The Son of the Man will send out His angels, and they will collect out of His kingdom everything that is offensive, and those who perpetrate lawlessness;
42 Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo chiŵaponye ŵandu pa litanuli lya mooto wakalipa ni kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.
and they will throw them into the furnace of fire. There there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Kele katema ko ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chachimelemenda mpela lyuŵa mu Umwenye wa Atati ŵao. Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikanile!
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbiko jajisisiche mu ngunda. Mundu jumpepe ŵajiweni ni kujisisa sooni. Nipele ŵasangalele nnope ni ŵajawile kukuisumisya iŵakwete yose ni kusuma ngunda ula.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and re-hid, and in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.
45 “Sooni, umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwakusumisya malonda achisosaga igogo yambone.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls,
46 Nombe paŵachiweni chigogo chimo cha ndalama jajikulungwa, ŵajawile, ŵaisumisye iŵakwete yose, ŵachisumile chigogo chila.
who upon finding one very valuable pearl went and sold everything he had and bought it.
47 “Sooni, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni lwau lwauponyekwe mu litanda, lwatanjile somba syasili syose.
“Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine that was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind,
48 Lwau palwagumbele, ŵakukoka somba ŵaluutile kumbwani, ŵatemi kusagula somba syambone ni kusitaga mu itundu yao ni somba syangalumbana ŵasijasile.
which, when it was full, they pulled upon the shore; and sitting down they collected the good into vessels, but threw out the bad.
49 Yeleyi ni ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino, achikatumetume ŵa kwinani chachikopochela, chiŵalekanganye ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana. (aiōn g165)
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth and will separate the malignant out from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Nombe ŵele ŵangalumbana wo chiŵajasile pa litanuli lya mooto. Kweleko chachilila ni kuchilimya meeno.”
and they will throw them into the furnace of fire. There there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana gele gose ga nkugamanyilila?” Ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
Jesus says to them, “Did you understand all these things?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Kwa ligongo lyo, jwakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa jwalijose jwakuŵa jwakulijiganya jwa Umwenye wa kwinani, alandene ni nsyene nyuumba jwakukoposya mu mbiko jakwe indu ya ndalama ya sambano ni indu ya ndalama ya kalakala.”
So He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a householder, who brings out of his reservoir things new and old.”
53 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yele itagu yo, ŵatyosile pelepo,
Now it happened, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
54 ni ŵapite mu musi wao. Kweleko ŵajiganyaga ŵandu mu nyuumba jao ja kupopelela, nombewo ŵasimosile nikuti, “Jweleju apatile kwapi alu lunda lu ni ukombole wa kuipanganya yakusimonjeka?
And coming into His hometown He began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom, and the mighty works?
55 Ana ajuju ngati mwana jwa jwakusepa itela? Achikulu ŵao ngati akuŵilanjikwa che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngati che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Simoni ni che Yuda?
Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joses and Simon and Jude?
56 Achalumbugwe wose ngati ali pamo ni uweji? Nambi ajuju apatile kwapi aga gose ga?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 Nipele, nganiŵakunda. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa nambo ngaakuchimbichikwa mu chilambo chakwe ni mu nyuumba jakwe!”
So they were offended at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”
58 Kwa ligongo lyo, nganatenda yakusimonjeka yaijinji ligongo lya ungali chikulupi wao.
And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
