Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
Mubuzuba obo Jesu wakazwa aanze ang'anda akukkala ambali alwizi.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
Inkamu mpati yakamubunganina achakumuzyunguluka, lino wakanjila mubwato akukkala mukati, inkamu yoonse niyakachimvwi kunkomwe.
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Elyo wakamba zintu zyiingi kulimbabo muzikozyanio. Wakati, “Amubone, mulimi wakaya kunze kukuyobyala imbuto.
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Nakayobubyala, Imwi imbuto zyakawida ambali lyamugwagwa, mpawo bayuni bakasika akuzilya.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Imwi imbuto yakawida anyika ilamabwe, kwakati kwakatali muse mwingi. Mpawo mpawo zyakamena nkambo imuse tewakali abulamfu kukuyaansi.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Pesi izuba nilyakatenta, zyakawuumpwa, nkambo tezyakali amiyanda, aboobo zyakayuma.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
Imbuto zimwi zyakawida mumaamvwa. Maamvwa akakomena mpawo akazisyanikizya.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
Zimwi imbuto zyakawida mumuse mubotu mpawo zyakazyala zilyo, zimwi mwanda umwi windulwidwe chakuvula, zimwi makumi musanu alimwi, mpawo zimwi makumi aatatu.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
Ooyo ulamatwi muleke amvwe.”
10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
Basikwiya bakasika mpawo bakati kuli Jesu, “Nkambonzi nowambula makani aya muzikozyanio?”
11 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli mbabo, “mulipedwe mwenya wakumvwisisya zisisidwe zyabwami bwakujulu, pesi kulimbabo tabapedwe pe.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Nkambo kufumbwa ujisi uyopegwa zyingi, alimwi uyoba azyindilide zyingi. Pesi utakwe, nekuba anchalacho chiyobwezegwa kuzwa kulinguwe.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
Nchenchicho nchingambulaabo muzikozyanio: nekuba banokubona, pesi tababonesesyi pe; alubo nekuba balamvwa, pesi tabamvwisisisyi, nekuba kumvwisisisya.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
Kulimbabo chisinsimicha Isaya chili zuzikizizigwe, echo chamba kuti, “Nekuba kumvwa mulamvwa, pesi takwe abunini nimuyomvwisisya; nekuba kubona muyobona, pesi takwepe nimuyobonesesya.
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
Nkambo myoyo yabantu aaba yaba mifubafuba mpawo miyumu kukumvwa, alubo bakajala meso aabo, kuti bataboni ameso aabo, nekuba kumvwa amatwi aabo, nikuba kumvwisisisya amyoyo yabo, kuti basanduke lubo, alubo ndikabaponesye.'
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
Pesi alongezegwe meso anu, nkambo alabona.
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
Nkasimpe ndati kulindinywe kuti basinsimi bayingi abantu baluleme bakayandisya kubona zintu ezyo nzimubona pesi tebakazibona. Bakayandisya kuzimvwa zintu nzimumvwa alimwi tebakazimvwa.
18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
Lino ngamuswilile kuchikozyanyo chamulimi wakabyala imbutozyakwe.
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
Na umwi wamvwa ijwi lyabwami bwakujulu pesi talimvwisisisya, mubi umwi wasika akubweza chakabyalwa mumoyo wakwe. Eyi nimbuto yakabyalilwa ambali lyamugwagwa.
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
Chakabyalwa anyika ilamabwe muntu umvwa ijwi elyo mpawo mpawo wakalitambula akukondwa,
21 But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
nekubabobo takwe miyanda mulinguwe nkambo mpawo ulakakatila chabunini. Nikuba makatazyo akupenzegwa kaabuka ankambo kajwi, ulafwambana kuwa.
22 The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Chakabyalwa mumuse ulamamvwa, oyu muntu umvwa ijwi, pesi misaalo yenyika abongelezyi bwabuvubi bwasyanikizya ijwi, elyo ulaba utachizyali michelo. (aiōn g165)
23 But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”
Imbuto yakaminzwa mumuse mubotu, ooyu muntu uumvwa ijwi akulimvwisisisya. Ulazyala michelo akuleta zilyo, kakutebulwa uumwi myanda, amuli umwi makumi musanu alimwi, amuli umwi makumi aatatu akayindululwa mbubonya mbozyakabyalwa.
24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Jesu wakababikila chimbi chikozyanyo kuli mbabo. Wakati, “Bwami bwakujulu bulimbuli mwalumi wakabyala imbuto imbotu mumuunda wakwe.
25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
Pesi ibantu nibakachili koona, sinkondonyina wakasika elyo mpawo wakabyala masokwe akati ka wiiti mpawo wakiinka.
26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
Mpawo masoonso nakazwa akuzyala bana balamuseke, aboobo isokwe lyakaboneka alyalo.
27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
Babelesi bamukamuunda nibakasika mpawo bakati kulinguwe, 'Taa,' temwakabyala imbuto mbotu na mumuunda wenu? Nkambonzi nikwaba masokwe?'
28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
Wakati kulimbabo, 'Sinkondoma nguwakachita echi.' Babelesi bakati kulinguwe, 'Mpo mulayanda na kuti twinke tukazinonkole?'
29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
Mwini muunda wakati, 'Pee. Nkambo mwanoli kamunonkola masokwe, ngamuyononkokezya a wiiti.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”
Muleke zikule antomwe kusikila kukutebula. Elyo kuchiindi chakutebula ndizoti kubatebuzi, “Chakusanguna amunonkoole masokwe akwawanga misunta kuti akawumpwe, pesi mubunganisye wiiti mubutala bwangu.”
31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
Elyo Jesu wakabika chikozyanisyo chiimbi kulimbaabo. Wakati, “Bwami bwakujulu buli mbuli inseeke yalubangulamuntu njakabweza akwiibyala mumuunda wakwe.
32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
Inseke eyi nindini loko kunseke zyoonse. Pesi na yakomena, inga yabampati kwinda misamu yamuchilili. Ngayakomena kwinda ziziki zyamuchilili, ngayaba musamu wakuti bayuni bawuluka basike akuyaka zizumbo mumitabi yayo?”
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
Alimwi Jesu wakabambila chimbi chikozyanyo. “Bwami bwakujulu buli mbuli bumena bwamwanakazi bwakabweza akuswanizya zimpanzi zitaatu zyabusu bwa wiiti kusikila zyafufumuka.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
Zyoonse ezi zintu Jesu wakazyaamba muzikozyanio kumakamu; aboobo takwe nchakamba katambide muchikozyanio.
35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
Echi chakalibobo kuchitila kuti chakambwa kwinda mumusinsimi chizuzikizigwe, Awo mpakamba kuti, “Ndiyojula mulomo muzikozyanisyo. Ndiyowamba zintu zyakasisikene kuzwa kumatangunino anyika.”
36 Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
Jesu wakasiya makamu makamu akuya mungánda. Basikwiya bakwe bakeza kulinguwe akwamba kuti, “Tupandulwide chikozyanio chamasokwe amumuunda.”
37 He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
Jesu wakabasandula wamba elyo wakati, “Ooyo ubyala imbuto mbotu Mwana a Muntu.
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
Muunda ninyika; mpawo imbuto mbotu, aba mbana baLeza bamubwami. Imasokwe mbana bamubi umwi.
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. (aiōn g165)
Lino sinkondo wakabyala ngudyabulosi. Butebuzi ngimamanino achiindi, mpawo batebuzi mbaangelo. (aiōn g165)
40 As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
Nkinkako mbuli masokwe mbabunganigwa akuumpwa amulilo, aboobo mbukuyooba kumamanino achiindi. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
Mwana amuntu uyotuma baangelo bakwe, elyo bayobunganisya aanze abwami bwakwe zintu zyoonse zyakali kuchita kuti kube ababo bakachita zitelede.
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Bayobawalila mumabanga banga amulilo, nkubanoli kabakwila akuyoluma intwino.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Elyo kuyoba bantu balume kabamweka mbuli zuba mubwami bwa Wisi. Ulamatwi, ngamvwe
44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Ibwami bwakujulu buli mbuli buvubi busisidwe mumuunda. Muntu wakabona akubusisa. Mukukondwa kwakwe wakinka, wakawuzya zintu zyoonse nzyakali azyo, akuyowula munda oyo.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
Alubo, Bwami bwakujulu bulimbuli muntu musambali uyandula ngale imbotu.
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
Nakijana imwi ngale imbotu, wakeenda akuzya zyoonse nzyakalazyo zintu akuyoyiwula.
47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
Alubo bwami bwakujulu buli mbuli kazamba kakawalwa mulwizi, mpawo kabungania baswi bamisyobo yoonse.
48 When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
Nikakazula, bazubi bakakabweza, bazubi bakakakwelela aanze kunkomwe. Elyo bakakkala ansi akubungania imbotu muzibikilo, pesi zyakatali kabotu bakazisowa.
49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Kuyoba obo kumamanino achindi. Baangelo bayosika akuyowandanya babi kuzwa kubaluleme. (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Bayobawalila mumabangabanga oko nkubayokwila akuyoluma intwino zyameno.
51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
“Mwazimvwa na zintu eezi zyoonse?” Basikwiiya bakati kulinguwe, “Iyii.”
52 Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
Mpawo Jesu wakamba kuti kulimbabo, “Aboobo woonse mulembi wamulawu waba sikwiya kubwami bwakujulu ulimbuli muntu mwiningánda, ugwisya aanze zintu zyakwe zikulukulu ezipya kuzwa muzibikilo zyakwe.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
Abobo nichakaba kuti Jesu wamaninsya zikozyanio ezi, wakazwa kubusena oobo.
54 Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.
Eelyo Jesu nakanjila kuchisi chakwe akuyiisya bantu muchikombelo chabo. Chakazwa chakuti bakagamba akwamba kuti, “Muntu oyu ubujana kuli busongo bwakwe anguzu zyamalele aaya?
55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Oyu muntu teensi mwana wamubezi na? Sena banyina tabitwi kuti Meli? Sena bana bakwabo tabali ba Jemusi, Jozefu, Sayimoni a Judasi?
56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Sena bachizi bakwe, tabali akkati kesu? Uzijana kuli zintu zyoonse ezi?”
57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
Bakalimvwa kabali amulandu anguwe. Pesi Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Musinsimi takwe bulemu kunze akuchisi chakulimbabo amumpuli yakwe.”
58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
Alubo takwe pe nakachita malele miingi nkuko akambo kakutamusyoma kwabo.
