Matayo 19
1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta gele maloŵe go, ŵatyosile ku Galilaya, ŵapite ku Yudea peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani.
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Ŵandu achajinji ŵakuiye ŵelewo kweleko, nombejo ŵalamisye ilwele yao.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Mafalisayo ŵaichile achalingaga achitiji, “Uli, ana ikusachilwa mundu kunleka ŵankwakwe kwa ligongo lililyose?”
Then the Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyoma Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti Akunnungu juŵangumbile mundu kutyochela kundanda ŵaagumbile jwannume ni jwankongwe?
He answered them, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
5 Ŵapundile kusala, ‘Kwaligongo lyo jwannume chiŵaaleche atatigwe ni achikulugwe, chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe, nombe ŵaŵili wo chachiŵa chiilu chimo?’
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 Kwa yeleyo, ngaaŵa sooni ŵaŵili, nambo chiilu chimo. Nipele chalumbikenye Akunnungu, mundu akachilekanganya.”
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 Nambo ŵele ŵanyawo ŵausisye, “Nambi kwachichi che Musa ŵatulamwile kuti jwankongwe apegwe talaka ni kunleka?”
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Che Musa ŵannechelele nlekangane ni achiŵankwenu kwa ligongo lya kukakatima kwa mitima jenu. Nambo chitandile kundanda nginiŵa yeleyi.
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Nipele none ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, mundu juchalekangane ni ŵankwakwe kwaligongo lililyose ni kulombela jwankongwe jwine, ikaŵe kwa ligongo lya chikululu, akutenda chikululu.”
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
10 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga yele kwa mundu ni ŵankwakwe, nipele mmbaya kutama pangalombela.”
His disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngaŵa ŵanawose ŵakukombola kulipochela liloŵe li, nambo ikaŵe ŵele ŵandu ŵapegwile ni Akunnungu machili ga kulipochela liloŵe li.
But Jesus said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Pakuŵa kwana indu yakupisyangana yaikuntendekasya mundu kutama pangalombela, apali ŵaŵaŵelekwe yeleyo, ni ŵane atesilwe ni ŵandu atame ŵangalombela ni ŵane asachile achinsyene atame pangalombela kwaligongo lya umwenye wa kwinani. Jwakukombola kulipochela liloŵe li apochele.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to accept this should accept it.”
13 Nipele ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi kuti ŵasajichile makono ni kwapopelela. Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵakalipile.
Then little children were brought to Jesus so that he might lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Mwaleche ŵanache aichanje kukwangu ni nkaasiŵila, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli wa ŵandu ŵaali mpela ŵanache ŵa.”
Yet Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Nipele, ŵasajichile makono kuti ŵape upile, ni ŵatyosile pelepo.
And after laying his hands on them, he departed from there.
16 Mundu jumo ŵaichile Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, ana ndende chindu chi chichili chambone kuti ngapate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a man came and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Kwachichi nkuusya yankati umbone? Ngapagwa jwambone, nambo jumope yaani Akunnungu. Mwasakaga kwinjila mu umi, ngakamulichisye makanyo.”
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone. But if yoʋ wish to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Mundu jula ŵausisye, “Makanyo chi?” Che Yesu ŵatite, “Kasimmulaga ni Kasintenda chikululu ni Kasinjiŵa ni Kasinsala ya unami.
The man said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not steal, Yoʋ shall not give false testimony,
19 Sooni, mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu ni Munnonyele njenu mpela inkuti pakulinonyela mwasyene.”
Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother, and, Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
20 Jwanchanda jula ŵatite, “Makanyo ganagose nagakamulisye chitandile wanache wangu, chisoŵile chindu chi sooni?”
The young man said to him, “All these I have kept from my youth; what do I still lack?”
21 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwelejo, “Mwasakaga kuŵa jwautindimisyo, njaule nkasumisye yose inkwete ni mbiya syo nkaape ŵandu ŵakulaga, nomwe chinkole mbiko kwinani, mwamalaga muunguye.”
Jesus said to him, “If yoʋ wish to be perfect, go sell what yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
22 Paŵapilikene yele jwele nchanda jo, ŵajawile aninkusongoneka mu ntima, pakuŵa ŵakwete chipanje chachijinji.
But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ngunsalila isyene, chiiŵe yakulimba jwachipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa kwinani.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Ngunsalila sooni, ili yakwaluka kwa chinyama chachikuŵilanjikwa ngamia kupeleta pachipowo cha sindano, kupunda jwachipanje kwinjila mu umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵapilikene yele, ŵasimosile nnope, ŵausisye, “Ŵaani nambi, akukombola kukulupuka?”
When his disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Che Yesu ŵalolite, nikuti, “Lyeleli lili lyangakomboleka kwa ŵandu, nambo kwa Akunnungu indu yose ikukomboleka.”
Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Nipele, che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Nnole, uwe tulesile yose ni kunkuya, chitupate chichi nambi?”
Then Peter said to him in response, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ; what then will there be for us?”
28 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, Mwana jwa Mundu pachatame pa chitengu cha umwenye cha ukulu wao mu chilambo cha sambano, ŵanyamwe umunguiye chintame mu itengu kumi na mbili ni kusilamula ngosyo kumi na mbili sya ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, when all things are made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Ni jwalijose jwalesile nyuumba pane achapwakwe pane achalumbugwe pane atatigwe pane achikulugwe pane ŵanache pane migunda, kwa ligongo lyangu, chachipochela mala mia, ni chachinjila mu umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields for my name's sake, will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Nambo ŵajinji ŵaali ŵandanda sambano chachiŵa ŵambesi ni ŵaali ŵambesi sambano chachiŵa ŵandanda.
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
