Matthew 9
1 And he entered the ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
UYesu akapanda ingalava, akalovoka ilisumbe ilya Galilaya, akagomoka mu likaaja lyake Kapelenaumu.
2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the palsied man: Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven you.
Pe avaanhu vamonga vakamuletela umuunhu unya nhamu ija liteela, aghonile pa keteefu. UYesu ye aluvwene ulwiltikko lwave kwa mwene, akati kwa ntamu, Mwanango, ghukangasie! Upyanilue inyivi saako.”
3 And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves: This man talks impiously.
Pe aqvavulanisi va ndaghilo vamonga vakasaagha mu moojo ghaave vakati, “Umuunhu uju ikumulingha kyongo uNguluve!”
4 And Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said: Why do evil thoughts arise in your hearts?
Neke uYesu akasitang'hania sino vakva visaagha, akavaposia akati, “KIki musaagha imbiivi mu moojo ghiinu?
5 For, which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Lino luhuugu luliku? Kukumbuula unya liteela kuuti, Upyanilue inyivi saako; nambe kuuti, Ima, ughendaghe?'
6 But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins (then he said to the palsied man): Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
Lino pe mukagule kuuti une ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nili nu vutavulilua uvwa kupyanila inyivi mu iisi muno” Pe akam'buula unya liteela akati, “Ima, veghela iliteefu lyako, vujagha.”
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Umuunhu jula akiima, akavuuka ivuja.
8 And when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Avaanhu mu lipugha ye vasivwene isio, lukavakola uludwesi, vakamughinia uNGuluve juno avapeliile avaanhu uvutavulilua ndavule uvuo.
9 And as Jesus passed by from that place, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
UYesu akavuuka pala. Ye ighenda iluta, akamwagha umuunhu jumonga, ilitavua lyake ghwe Mataayi, ikalile pano isongekesia isongo. UYesu akam'buula akati, “Umbingililaghe.” Pe akavuuka, akamb'bingilila.
10 And it came to pass that, while Jesus was reclining at table in his house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined at table with him and his disciples.
Pe uYesu akaluta kulia ikyakulia kwa Mataayi. Ye vali mu nyumba jila, vakingila avasongesi songo vinga na vahosi, vakikala vuhanga ikikyakulia nu Yesu palikimo n a vavulanusivua vaake vakati.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
AVafalisayi ye vasivwene isio, vakavaposia avavulllanisivua vaake vakati, “Kiki um'bulanisi ghwinu ihagha ikyakulia na vasongesia songo na vahosi?”
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Neke uYesu ye apuliike isio avavuula akati, “Avakafu navifumbua kuluta kwa mughanga, looli avatamu!
13 But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
Lino, lutagha mkamanyile umuluvo ghwa masio agha, 'Nilonda umuunhu avisaghe nya lusungu kukila kuhumia ilitekelo; ulwakuva une nanilyakisisie kukuvakemeela vano vikuvona vagholofu, looli vano vitang'hinia kuuva vahosi.”
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples fast not?
Pambele avavulanusivua va Yohani uMwofughi vakaluta kwa Yesu, vakamposia vakati, “Usue na Vafalisayi twatuvuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya, ongo avavulanisivua vaako navivingilila ulwiho uluo?”
15 And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then will they fast.
Uyesu akavamula akati, “Vano vaghongolilue pa vutolani vali nu ntolan'dala, lwakiki vasukanalaghe? Looli filikwisa ifighono, pano untolan'dala ilivusivua. Apuo pepano vilivuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya.
16 No one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment; for that which is put in to fill it up, takes from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
Nakwale umuunhu juno ihonela ikigamba ikipia mu mwenda unkuulu, ulwakuva ikigamba ikio kidemule umwenda unkuulu ughuo, pe uvudemule vukwongelela kyoko.
17 Nor do men put new wine into old bottles; if so, the bottles burst, and the wine runs out, and the bottles are lost. But they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Kange, avaanhu naviviika uluhuuje uluuje ulupia mu nyambe ing'huulu, nave fye vavombe uluo, inyambe sipusuka, uluhuuje kukung'hika nasi nyambe sinangika. Looli viviika uluhuuje ulupia mu nyambe imia, pe inyambe nu luhuuje fijigha vunofu!”
18 While he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came and did him homage, saying: My daughter is already dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
UYesu ye ikavavuula amasio aghuo, akiisa umulongosi jumonga, akafughama pa mwene, akam'buula, akati, “Umwalivango afwile unsiki ghughuughu, sivuo tuvuuke uluvoko lwako pa mwene, neke aave mwinu.”
19 And Jesus and his disciples arose and followed him.
Pe uYesu akavvka palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake, akam'bingilila umulongosi jula.
20 And behold, a woman that had been diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind him, and touched the fringe of his mantle.
Pwealyale umukijuuva jumonga juno alyale ni nhanu ija kuhuma idanda. Inhamu ijio jilyammwisie ammaka kijigho na ghavili. Umukijuuva ujuo akiisa kunsana kwa Yesu, akabasia uluvilo ulwa mwenda gwake.
21 For she said within herself: If I may only touch his mantle, I shall be saved.
Akavomba uluo ulwakuva akasaghagha kuuti, “Ningabasie ghu mwenda ghwake, nisooka.
22 But Jesus turned, and saw her, and said: Daughter, be of good courage; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.
Ye abasisie, uYesu akasyetuka, akamwagha, akam'buula akati, “Mwalivango, kangala! Usokile vwimila ulwitiko lwako!” Unsiki ghula, umukijuuva jula akasooka.
23 And when Jesus came into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making lamentation,
Uyesu ye afikile mu nyumba ija mulongosi jula, akavaagha avaanhu vinga vakong'hanile, vilila nu lusukunalo ulukome, vamonga vikuva ifilongilongi.
24 he said to them: Depart; for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
uYesu akavavuula akati, “Muvuuke! Ulwakuva umhija uju naafwiile, looli aghoneliile! Avaanhu vala vakanseka kyoyo.
25 But when the multitude had been sent out, he went in, and took the maiden by the hand, and she arose.
Umwene akavahumia kunji avaanhu vala, pe akingila kukate kwa mhinjajula, akankola uluvoko, umhinja jula akiima.
26 And the fame of this went abroad in all that land.
Imhola isio sikakwila mu iisi jooni.
27 And as Jesus was departing thence, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying: Son of David, have mercy on us.
UYesu akavuuka pa kaaja ja mulongosi jula. Ye avukile pala pavabofu amaaso vavili, vakam'bingilila kumo vikemeela fiijo viiti, “Ghwe Mwana ghwa Davidi, utusungukile!
28 And when he had entered the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
UYesu akingila mu nyumbba, voope avabofu vala vakingila. Pe akavaposia akati, “Asia, mukwitika kuuti une nili ni ngufu isa kuvasosia?” Aveene vakamwamula vakati, Eena, Mutwa! Tukwitika.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, and said: According to your faith, be it to you.
Pe uYesu akavabasia amaaso ghaave, akavavuula akati, “Sivombeke kulyumue ndavule lulivuo ulwitiko lwinu.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying: See that no one know it,
Amaaso ghaave ghakadinduka. Pe uYesu akavavuula akati, “Namungam'bulaghe nambe muunhu imhola isi!”
31 But they went out and spread his fame abroad in all that land.
Neke aveene vakavuuka, vakakwisia imhola saake mu iisi jila jooni.
32 And as they were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
Avaanhu vavili avuo ye vavukile pala, avaanhu vamonga vakamuletela uYesu umuunhu juno alyale ni lipepo. Ilipepo ilio lilyampeleliile kuuva kinuunu.
33 And after the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, and said: Never was it seen thus in Israel.
Pe uYesu akalidaga ilipepo lil, unsiki ghughuo umuunhu jula akateghula kuvoja kange. Avaanhu vano pwepalyale pala vakadegha kyongo, vakat, “Isi nasighelile kuvoneka nambe padebe mu iisi jooni ija Isilaeli.”
34 But the Pharisees said: He casts out the demons by the prince of the demons.
Neke aVafalisayi vakatisagha, “Umuunhu uju idaga amapepo mu ngufu isa livaha lya mapepo!
35 And Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every infirmity.
Pe uYesu akava iluta mu makaaja ghooni na mu fikaaj. Akava ikwingila mu masinagogi ghaave ivulania na kupulisia iMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwa Nguluve, kange akavasyagha avatamu inhamu saave sooni.
36 And when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and scattered as sheep that had no shepherd.
Ye ikulivona ilipugha ilya vaanhu, akavavonela ikisa, ulwakuva valyale vihangajika, navalyale nu ghwa kuvatanga, valyale hwene ng'holo isila n'diimi.
37 Then he said to his disciples: The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.
Pe akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Mu mughunda ifiinu fimotwike, neke avanya kupeta vadebe.
38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
Lino, munsuume unya mughunda, asuung'he avvanhu avange avanya kupeta.”
