Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.
Pabusuba bwa Sabata, bwakupumwina kwa Bayuda, Yesu walikapita mu libala lya maila pamo ne beshikwiya, beshikwiya bakendi balanyumfwa nsala, neco balatatika kuningula ngala sha maila ne kushilya.
2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
Mpobalaboneco Bafalisi, Yesu balamwambileti, “Kamubonani ncobalenshinga beshikwiya benu pabusuba bwa Sabata cabula kusuminishiwa ne Mulawo”
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
Nendi walabambileti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo ncalensa Dafeti, mpwalanyumfwa nsala pamo ne banendi mbwalikuba nabo?
4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
Ntepasa walakengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, kuya kulya shinkwa wishikubengwa kuli Lesa ico calikuba catonda, nkabalikuba basuminishiwa ne mulawo kulya shinkwa uyo sobwe, nsombi beshimilumbo.
5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
Mpani muliya kubelengapo mu Milawo kwambeti, beshimilumbo nabo balikupwaya mulawo pabusuba bwa Sabata ne kuboneketi baliya mulandu.
6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mpwali pano wapita Ng'anda ya Lesa.
7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
Nshinga nemucishi bupandulushi bwa Maswi a Lesa alambangeti, ‘Nkandayandangeti bantu bampe milumbo sobwe, nsombi ndayandangeti bantu benshilenga nkumbo kubanabo. nsuni nkumbo, kupita milumbo, anu ne mutambili bantu babula bwipishi eti bakute bwipishi,’
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Pakwinga Mwana Muntu emwine busuba bwa Sabata.”
9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,
Mpwalafumapo Yesu walakengila mu ng'anda yakupaililamo,
10 and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Umo mwalikuba muntu watontola cikasa, bantu nabambi balikuyanda pakumucaninapo mulandu wakumubepeshela Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Sena Milawo yasuminisha kusengula muntu pabusuba bwa Sabata?”
11 He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Niyani palinjamwe ukute kambelele kamowa, welela kubula kukatampula kawila mucisengu pa busuba bwa Sabata?
12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
Nomba muntu ntewapita mbelele! Na nico ekwambeti Milawo yasuminisha kwinsa byaina pabusuba bwa Sabata.”
13 Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.
Neco walamwambila usa muntu, “Tandabula cikasa cakobe!” Nendi walatandabula, popelapo cikasa cakendi calaba cena mbuli cinendi.
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
Popelapo basa Bafalisi balapula kuya kupangana mobelela kumushinina Yesu.
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,
Yesu mpwalanyumfweti balapangananga, walafumamo. Abo bantu bonse balikumukonkela walikubasengula malwashi onse.
16 warning them not to make Him known.
Nomba nendi walabakonkomesha kwambeti, kabatamuyubululanga,
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
walenseco kwambeti ncalamba Lesa kumushinshimi wakendi Yesaya cikwanilishiwe cakwambeti,
18 “Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
“kamubonani, musebenshi wakame uyu ngondalasala, Ndimusuni, moyo wakame wakondwa nendi, Ninkabike Mushimu mulyendiye. Nendi nakakambaukenga shalombolosho kubantu ba mishobo naimbi,
19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.
Nteti akatotekepo, nambi kompolola sobwe, Paliya muntu eti akanyumfwepo liswi akendi munshila sha muminshi,
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.
Nendi nteti akatyokole litete lyomfwama, nambi kushima muniko ulayandanga kushimika, mpaka cancinencine cikakwane,
21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”
Kupembelela kwa bantu bonse nikukabikwe mu lina lyakendi.”
22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.
Panyuma pakendi bantu balaleta muntu washipilwa, kayi utacikonsho kwamba wekatwa ne mishimu yaipa, Yesu walamusengula, walatatika kwamba ne kubona cena.
23 The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”
Bantu bangi balakankamana kabambeti, “Sena uyu nte mwanendi Dafeti?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”
Nomba Bafalisi mpobalanyumfweco balambeti, “Sobwe, ngofu shakupulisha mishimu yaipa lashifulunga kuli belezebulu mukulene wa mishimu yaipa.”
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Yesu mpwaleshiba ncebalikuyeya walabambileti, “Cishi ciliconse capansana mu makoto makoto ne kutatika kulwana, nkacela kwikalisha nsombi ngaconongeka. Nambi bantu mu munshi, ne mumikowa batatika kubukilana ne kulwana, uwo munshi nambi mukowa nkapelela kuba kunyumfwana sobwe.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
Na bali mubwami bwa Satana kabapulishana palwabo bene, ekwambeti bapansana, inga bwami bwakendi Satana ngabuyumeconi?
27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
Na ame kamung'ambeti ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa ne ngofu sha belezebulu, inga beshikwiya benu balo balapulishinga mishimu yaipa ne ngofu shabani? Ecebo cakendi beshikwiya benu ebabanga bakamboni pacilubo cenu.
28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Na ame ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa ne ngofu ya Mushimu wa Lesa, anu ekwambeti Lesa latatiki kubika Bwami bwakendi pakati penu.”
29 Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
Paliya muntu welela kwingila mu ng'anda ya muntu wangofu kuya kumantamo buboni bwakendi, katanamusunga muntu wangofuyo. Enseco welela kuya kumantamo bintu mung'andomo.
30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
“Uyo labulunga kubela kulubasu lwakame latotekeshananga nenjame, uyo labulunga kunyamfwako kubunganya, nendi ni shikumwaya.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Ecebo cakendi ndamwambilishingeti, Lesa nakalekelele bwipishi bonse, ne maswi aipa. Nomba ku muntu lanyanshanga Mushimu Uswepa, Lesa nteti akamulekelelepo.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come. (aiōn g165)
Ni cimo cimo uliyense lambilinga Mwana Muntu maswi aipa, Lesa nakamulekeleleko, nomba uliyense lanyanshanga Mushimu Uswepa, Lesa nteti akamulekelelepo sobwe pacino cindi, nambi mucindi cakuntangu.” (aiōn g165)
33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.
Na mwambeti citondo ici caina, ekwambeti ne bisepo byakendi byaina, kayi mwambeti, citondo ici caipa, ekwambeti ne bisepo byakendi byaipa, citondo cikute kwishibikwa kubisepo byakendi.
34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Bana banjoka amwe! Ngamucikonsheconi kwamba byaina pakwinga mwaipa? Pakwinga mulomo ukute kwamba byesula mumoyo.
35 The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.
Muntu waina ukute kupulisha byaina kufuma pamulunda wa buboni bwakendi bwaina. Nendi muntu waipa ukute kupulisha byaipa kufuma pamulunda wa buboni bwakendi bwaipa.
36 But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
Ndamwambilishingeti pa busuba bwalombolosho, bantu ni bakacanike ne mulandu pa maswi abula kwelela ngobalikwamba,
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
pakwinga nemaswi akobe nukacaniketi uliya mulandu, kayi maswi akobe nakakupeshe mulandu.
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
Beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne Bafalisi balamwambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, tulayandanga mutulesheko cingashilo cishikukankamanisha.”
39 Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Nomba nendi Yesu walambeti, Ha! Kwipa musemano uwu wabantu babula lushomo balayandanga kubona cingashilo cishikukankamanisha, Nomba nteti bakacibonepo sobwe cingashilo kupatulakowa cisa ca mushinshimi Yona.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mbuli Yona usa ncalikuba mulibunda lya luswi lunene lusa masuba atatu, munshi ne mashiku, nendi Mwana Muntu na kabikwe panshi mubulongo masuba atatu, munshi ne mashiku.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
Bantu baku Ninive, nibakapundukile pamo ne bantu ba musemanowu pa busuba bwa lombolosho, kwambeti bantu ba ku ninive bakabatotekeko, nte pasa balo balalapa mpobalanyumfwa kukambauka kwa Yona. Nsombi pano mpwali wapita Yona.
42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
Pa busuba bwalombolosho, mwami mutukashi waku Sheba nakapunduke pamo ne bantu bamusemanuwu, nakese akabatoteke. Pakwinga nendi walenda musuma, kwisa kunyumfwa kwamba kwa mano a mwami Solomoni, nomba pano pali wapita Solomoni.
43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
“Na mushimu waipa ulapulu mu muntu, ukute kuya kwendenda mucishi cabula menshi, kulangaula musena wakupumwininako, nomba nkaukute kucanika.
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.
Neco ukute kwambeti, ndabwelenga kung'anda kwakame kusa nkondalapula, lino washika ukute ucana mung'anda musa muli tonto, mwapyangwa ne kubambwa cena.
45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
Ukute kuya kumanta mishimu inendi isanu ne ibili yaipa kupita walo, panyuma pakendi yonse ikute kuya kwingila ne kwikalilila mopelomo. Neco bwikalo bwa muntu uyo bukute kwipa kupita ncalikuba pakutanguna, nicikabeco kumusemanuwu waipa.”
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.
Yesu kacamba ne bantu bangi basa, bakwabo ne banyina balashika, balemana pansa, balikuyanda kwambako nendi.
47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”
Lino muntu naumbi walakamwambila Yesu kwambeti, “Banyoko ne bakwenu bali apa pansa balayandanga kwambako ne njobe.”
48 But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Anu bama ni bani? Ne bakwetu nibani?”
49 Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.
Mpwalambeco walatondeka kwalikuba beshikwiya bakendi ne kwambeti, Ame aba e Bama ne bakwetu,
50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Pakwinga uliyense lenshinga kuyanda kwa Bata ba kwilu, uyo emukwetu mutuloba, enkashi yakame, kayi e Bama.
