Mateyo 9
1 Jesu nakanjila mubwaato, wakazubuka, alimwi wakasika kudolopo lyakulimbaabo.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Amubone, bata kulinguwe muntu ulebukide kaleede aabulo. Nakabona lusyomo lwabo, Jesu wakati kumuntu ulebukide, “Mwana mulombe, sungwazigwa zibi zyako zyalekelelwa.”
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 Amubone, bamwi balembi bakati kulilwabo beni,” “Imuntu oyu ulatukila.”
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 Nkabela Jesu wakaziba miyeeyo yabo, elyo wakati, “Nkambonzi nimuyeeya buubi mumyoyo yenu?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Nkambo nchichili chuuba kwamba kuti, Ízibi zyanu zyalakelelwa, na kwamba kuti, Nyampuka alimwi uyende'? Pesi mulelede kuziba kuti Mwana a Muntu ulanguzu ansi zyakulekelela izibi, ...”Nyampuka, bweeza bulo bwako,
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
6 alimwi uyinke kungánda yako” Mpawo mwalumi wakanyampuka alimwi wakeenda kungánda yakwe.”
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 Mpawo mwalumi wakanyampuka alimwi wakeenda kungánda yakwe.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 Chiindi makamu makamu nakabona eechi, bakayoowa alimwi bakatalika kulumbayizya Leza, wakapede inguzu ziliboobu kubantu.
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 Mbubonya Jesu nakayinda kuzwa awo, wakabona mwalumi utegwa Mateyo kakkede aziyako zyabasimutelo wasikuti kulinguwe, “Nditobela.” Wakanyampuka alimwi wakamutobela.
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 Mbubonya Jesu wakakkala ansi kuti alye mungánda, amubone, basimutelo biingi abasizibi bakasika alimwi bakasusula a Jesu abasikwiiya bakwe.
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 Lino baFalisi nibakachibona echi bakati kuli basikwiya bakwe, “Nkambonzi muyisi wenu ulalya abasimutelo alimwi abasizibi?”
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Eelyo Jesu nakamvwa echi, wakati, bantu basimide mubili tabayandi musilisi, pesi abo bachisidwe.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
13 Mulelede kwinka akuyoyiiya kuti ezi zyambayi. Ndilombozya luzyalo alimwi zitali zipayizyo.' Mbulikuti ndakasika, kuti nditazoyiti balulami kuti musanduke, pesi basizibi.”
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 Eelyo basikwiya ba John bakasika kulinguwe alimwi bakati, “Nkambonzi iswe antomwe abaFalisi nitulyiimya, pesi basikwiya bako tabalyiimyi pe?”
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
15 Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Ani bana basimusa balakonzya na kulila nibachili asibwinga? Pesi mazuba ayosika elyo sibwinga nayobwezegwa kuzwa kuli mbabo, alimwi bayolyimya.
"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 Takwe muntu ubika chisamo chipya atala a jansi kkulukulu, nkambo chigamba chiladeluka kuzwa kujansi, alimwi ibbanga elyo lilayindilila kukomena.
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 Nekuba kuti bantu babika wayini mupya muzibikilo zikulukulu zyewayini. Na bachita boobo zibikilo zilakwamuka. Wayini ulatika alimwi zibikilo zyawayini zilanyonyonwa. Anukuti, babika wayini mupya muchibikilo chipya cha wayini, alimwi zyoonse zilalondokeka.”
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 Alimwi Jesu nakali kwamba eezi kulimbabo, amubone, mwendelezi wakasika alimwi wakkkotama aansi kulinguwe wakati, “Mwana wangu musimbi wafwa lino, pesi sika alimwi uzobike ijanza lyako alinguwe, alimwi uyopona.”
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 Mpawo Jesu wakabuka akumutobela, alimwi mbubakachita basikwiiya bakwe.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Amubone, mwanakazi wakali kufwabisigwa akalobola kwaminyaka ili kkumi ayibili wakeza musule lya Jesu alimwi wakajata moombe wejansi lyakwe.
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 Nkambo wakali walyambila lwakwe mwini, “kuti na nkajate chisamo, ndiyopona.”
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Pesi Jesu wakachebuka mpawo wakamubona, alimwi wakati, “Musimbi, koba mukozu, lusyomo lwako lwakuponya. Mpawo mwanakazi wakapona muchindi ncicheecho.
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 Chiindi Jesu nakeza kungánda yamwendelezi, wakabona bakali kusobana mutetele alimwi makamu makamu akali kuyowela.
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 Wakati, “Muzwe awa, nkambo musimbi tafwide pe, pesi ulilede. “Pesi bakamuseka chakumuniaka.
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Kuchindi makamu nakazwa anze, wakanjila mungánda alimwi wakamubweza akuboko, alimwi musimbi wakanyampuka.
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 Makani atala azezi akazulila munyika yoonse.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 Mbubonya Jesu nakayinda kuzwa oko, bantu babili boofu bakamutobela. Bakali koompolola alimwi kabati, “Tufwide luzyalo Mwana wa Devidi.
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
28 Chiindi Jesu nakeza mungánda. bantu boofu bakasika kulinguwe. Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, mulasyoma na kuti nga ndilachichita eechi? Bakati kuli nguwe, “Iyii, Mwami.”
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 Mpawo Jesu wakajata menso abo akwamba kuti, “achichitike kulindinywe mbuli lusyomo lwenu,”
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 alimwi meso abo akajulika. Mpawo Jesu wakabalayilila akwamba kuti, “mubone kuti takwe uumbi utakazibe atala azezi.”
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Pesi bantu babili bakeenda biinka alimwi makani akakuzulila munyika yoonse.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 Mbubnya bantu abo babili nibakayobwenda, muntu uutambuli kazwide muuya wadimoni wakeetwa kuli Jesu.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 Dimoni nilyakagwisigwa, muntu utaambuli wakaambula. Makamu makamu akagamba, akaamba kuti, “eezi tazinakuboneka mu Izilayeli!”
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 Pesi ba Falisi bakali kuti, “Mubwendelezi bulama dimoni, ulagwisya dimoni.”
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35 Jesu wakenda kumadolopo woonse akumagunzi wakendelela anembo kayobuyiisya muzikombelo zyabo kakambawuka makani mabotu abwami, akuyobuponia zilwazi zyonse zyamisyobo misyobo amachise woonse amisyobo misyobo.
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 Lino nakabona makamu makamu, wakaba aluzyalo kuli mbabo, nkambo bakali kupeekezezegwa akunyansigwa. Bakali mbuli mbelele zitakwe mweembeli.
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 Wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Butebuzi bwavula, pesi batebuzi mbache.
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 Nkabela amukombe chakufwambana ku Mwami wabutebuzi, kuchitila kuti atuume batebuzi mubutebuzi bwakwe.
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
