Matayo 9
1 Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa, ŵajombweche litanda ni kwika mmusi wao.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Pelepo ŵandu ŵampeleche mundu jumo jwatatele chiilu, ali agonile mu chitagala. Nipele Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao, ŵansalile mundu jwakutatala jula, “Muusimane mtima, ambusanga! Nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
3 Nipele, ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵane ŵatandite ganisya mmitima jao aninkuti, “Mundu ju akwatukana Akunnungu!”
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 Che Yesu ŵasimanyi ng'anisyo syao ni ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuganisya yangalumbana mmitima jenu?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Chichi chili chakwepepala nnope, kusala, ‘Sambi syenu silecheleswe,’ pane kusala, ‘Njimuche, Njaule?’
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
6 Nambo, ngusaka mmanyilile kuti Mwana jwa Mundu akwete ukombole pa chilambo pano wa kwalechelesya ŵandu sambi syao.” Pelepo ŵansalile jwakutatala jo, “Njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu njaule kumangwenu.”
But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
7 Nipele, mundu jo ŵajimwiche ni kwaula kumangwao.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 Ŵandu wose mu mpingo wo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵasimosile ni kukamulwa ni lipamba, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu uŵapele ŵandu ukombole wanti yele.
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
9 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ni paŵajaulaga, ŵambweni mundu jumo ali atemi mu nyuumba ja kulipila nsongo liina lyakwe che Matayo. Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munguye.” Nombe che Matayo, ŵajimwiche ni kwakuya.
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
10 Che Yesu paŵaliji mu nyuumba ji che Matayo kulya chakulya, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵaali ni sambi ŵaiche ni kutama pamo nawo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
11 Mafalisayo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu, “Kwachichi jwakunjiganya akulya pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵaali ni sambi?”
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Che Yesu ŵagapilikene gelego ni ŵajanjile, “Ŵangakulwala ngakwalajila ŵantela, ikaŵe ŵakulwala ni ŵakwalajila ŵantela.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
13 Nipele, njaule nkalijiganye malumbo ga maloŵe ga, ‘Ngusaka chanasa, ngaŵa mbopesi.’ Nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu nambo ŵaali ni sambi.”
But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
14 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Uweji ni Mafalisayo tukutaŵa kaŵilikaŵili, kwachichi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu ngakutaŵa?”
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
15 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uli, nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kwatendekasya achambusanga ŵa mlombela asupuche akuno ali pamo nawo? Ngwamba! Nambo chikaiche katema pachajigalikwe mlombela jo pasikati jao, gele moŵa go chachitaŵa.
"Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
16 “Ngapagwa mundu jwakutotela chigamba cha nguo jasambano mu nguo jewisale. Atamuno atendaga yeleyo chigamba chasambano cho chichipapule nguo jo, ni upapuche wakwe chiupundanganye.
No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
17 Sooni ngapagwa ŵandu ŵakutaga divai jasambano mu misaku jewisale jekolochekwe ni mapende. Pakuŵa jele divai jasambano jo chijipapule misaku ni divai chijimwasiche ni misaku jo chijijonasiche. Nambo ŵandu akutaga divai jasambano mu misaku jasambano ni yose yana iŵili ikugosekwa.”
Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
18 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta gelego, ŵaiche chilongola jumo jwa Chiyahudi, ŵatindiŵalile ni kuti, “Mwali jwangu akuwa sampano. Nambo, choonde twende nkaasajichile nkono wenu kuti akole umi.”
While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni kunkuya, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajawile pamo nawo.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Jwakopochele jwankongwe jumo juŵalwalaga magono kwa yaka likumi ni iŵili, ŵannyichilile Che Yesu panyuma, ŵakwaiye lujenje lwa mwinjilo wao.
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 Ŵatesile yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaganisisye muntima mwao kuti, “Nakwayaga pe mwinjilo wakwe, chilame.”
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Nombe Che Yesu ŵagalawiche, ŵamweni ni ŵansalile, “Muusimane ntima, mwanangu, chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Jwankongwe jo ŵalamile katema kakoko.
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaiche mu nyuumba ja chilongola jula. Ni ŵaweni ŵakugomba ipeta ni mpingo wa ŵandu aninkulila kwa malumbo,
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 ni ŵatite, “Ntyochanje pelepa, pakuŵa mwali ju nganajasika, agambile gona pe.” Ni ŵanyawo ŵaasechile.
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Ŵandu ŵala paŵaŵinjikwe, Che Yesu ŵajinjile nkati, ŵankamwile nkono mwali jula, nombejo ŵajimwiche.
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26 Ngani jila jajenele pa chilambo pala pose.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ni paŵaliji nkwaula, ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵangakulola ŵankuiye achinyanyisyaga, “Choonde Mwana ju che Daudi ntukolele chanasa!”
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
28 Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵangakulola wala ŵajaulile, nombejo ŵausisye, “Ana nkukulupilila kuti ngukombola kunlamya?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Elo, Ambuje.”
And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
29 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵagakwaiye meeso gao, ŵatite, “Iŵeje kukwenu mpela inkuti pakukulupilila.”
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 Meeso gao gaugwiche. Nombe Che Yesu ŵakanyisye kwa nnope kuti, “Ngasimunsalila mundu jwalijose ngani ji.”
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵatyosile ni kutanda kwenesya ngani si Che Yesu mchilambo chila chose.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵala paŵaliji nkutyoka, ŵandu ŵane ŵannyichisye Che Yesu mundu jumo jwangakuŵecheta kwa ligongo lya kukamulwa ni masoka.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 Paŵankopwesye masoka papopo mundu jwangakuŵecheta jula, ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ŵandu ŵasimosile nikuti, “Nganigawoneche kose gelega mu chilambo cha ku Isilaeli!”
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34 Nambo Mafalisayo ŵatite, “Akugakoposya masoka kwa machili ga jwankulu jwa masoka.”
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35 Che Yesu ŵasyungwile mose mmisi ni mmisinda jose, achijiganyaga mmajumba gao ga kupopelela, ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwalamisya ŵandu ilwele yose ni kulaga kwakulikose.
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 Nipele, paŵaweni ŵandu, mipingo kwa mipingo, ŵakolele chanasa pakuŵa ŵapesile ni kukola lipamba chisau ngondolo syangali ni jwakuchinga.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37 Pelepo ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Magungulo gali gamajinji, nambo ŵakugungula nganatupa.
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 Nipele mwapopele Ambuje ŵa magungulo, apeleche ŵakupanganya masengo mmagungulo gao.”
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
