Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
Ligono lilolo, Yesu awukili munyumba yila akahamba kutama mumhana ya nyanja.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
Msambi uvaha wa vandu wamtindili hati Yesu akakwela muwatu, akatama. Vandu voha vayimili mumhana ya nyanja,
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
namwene Yesu akavajovela mambu ga mahele kwa miluhumu. “Myuwanila, mundu mmija mbeyu ahambili kumija mbeyu.
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Peamijili, mbeyu zingi zikagwilila munjila, na hidege yikabwela yikahola.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Zingi zakagwilila pamatalau pangali kuvya na ludaka neju. Zalolikini zimeli kanyata ndava ludaka lwavi lwamahele lepi.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Lilanga palaumili, lachonili ndava mikiga yaki yakamwili lepi muludaka, zikanyala.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
Mbeyu zingi zagwilili mumikongo ya minga, ndi mikongo ya minga yikamela na kuzihinya.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
Zingi zagwili paludaka lwa bwina, zameli na kupambika, yingi mbeyu miya yimoja na yingi mbeyu sitini na yingi mbeyu selasini.”
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
Yesu akajova, myuwana nyenye mwemuvi na makutu.
10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
Vawuliwa va Yesu vamhambili, vakamkota, “Ndava kyani wijova na vandu kwa miluhumu?”
11 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Yesu akavayangula, “Nyenye mpewili uhotola wa kumanya umfiyu wa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu vene vapewili lepi.
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.
Muni mundu mweavi na chindu yati iyonjokesewa neju, nambu mundu angali kuvya na chindu hati cheavi nachu yati chinyagiwa.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
Muni nijova nawu kwa miluhumu, ndava vilolokesa nambu vilola lepi viyuwana nambu vimanya lepi.
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.
Kwa vene gatimili malovi gala geajovili Isaya mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, kuyuwana yati mwiyuwana, nambu yati mwimanya lepi, kulola yati mwilola, nambu yati mwiwona lepi,
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.’
muni mitima ya vandu ava yitopa. Vagadindii makutu gavi, vagubiki mihu gavi. Kuvya lepi, yavaloli na mihu gavi, yavayuwini na makutu gavi, yavamanyalili muluhala lwavi, na kumuwuyila Bambu, na nene nganivalamisi.
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
Nambu mmotisiwa nyenye, muni mihu ginu gilola na makutu ginu giyuwana.
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.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, vamlota va Chapanga vamahele na vandu va Chapanga vamahele vanogili kugalola gala gemgaloli nambu vagaloli lepi, na kuyuwana gala gemyuwini nambu nakuyuwana.”
18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
“Hinu, nyenye myuwana ndava ya luhumu lwenulu lwa mmija mbeyu.
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.
Yeyoha mweiyuwana lilovi la Unkosi wa Chapanga changamanya, iwanangana ngati mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi yula mhakau ibwela na kutola chechimijiwi mumtima waki.
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
Mbeyu zezagwili mulitalau ndi luhumu wa mundu yula mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo na bahapo akulipokela kwa luheku.
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.
Nambu nakuyingila mugati yaki ndava avi lepi na mikiga, lilovi lenilo litama mulukumbi luhupi na pegihumila man'gaiso na kuhengiwa uhakau ndava ya lilovi la Chapanga, kanyata igwa.
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)
Mewawa na mbeyu yeyagwili pagati ya mikongo ya minga, ndi luhumu lwa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo, nambu mambu ga pamulima apa na mnogo wa kugana vindu vyamahele vikulitindila lilovi lenilo na ipambika lepi matunda ndi kuhenga gala gakumganisa Chapanga. (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.”
Nambu mbeyu yeyagwilili muludaka lwabwina ndi luhumu wa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi na kulimanya, ndi yipambika matunda, yimonga matunda miya na yingi matunda sitini na yingi matunda selasini.”
24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mundu mweamijili mbeyu yabwina mumgunda waki.
25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
Hinu vandu pavagonili abwelili mundu likoko na kumija masindi pagati ya nganu na kuwuka.
26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
Penapo nganu peyameli na kutumbula kuholomola njechela, mewawa masindi gakahumila.
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?’
Vatumisi va mkolo mgunda vamhambili na kumjovela mwene, ‘Bambu, chakaka wamijili mbeyu zabwina kumgunda waku. Hinu masindi gahumili koki?’
28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
Mwene akavayangula, ‘Mundu likoko ndi mweahengili genago.’ Ndi vatumisi vaki vakamkota wigana tete tikatupulai masindi?
29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
Mwene akavayangula, ‘Lepi,’ Pangi pemwitupula masindi, yati mwitupula na nganu mewa.
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.’”
Mlekayi vikula pamonga mbaka lukumbi lwa kubena. Lukumbi lwenulo ndi yati nikuvajovela vabenaji, vayola hoti masindi na kugakunga malundu ga kuyocha motu, na nganu mbenai na kuyivika pachibana changu.”
31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mbeyu yidebe yeyikemiwa haladali mundu ayitolili, na kumija kumgunda waki.
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.”
Yene yivya yidebe kuliku mbeyu zoha, nambu yikamela na yikula kuvya mkongo uvaha kuliku mimea yoha, hati hidege yibwela na kujenga hisakanilu, mumambanda gaki.”
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.”
Yesu avajovili luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mau mmonga mweagegili ngemeku, akahangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na lapinga, na uhembe woha watutumwiki.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
Yesu aujovili msambi wa vandu genago goha kwa miluhumu, kawaka chindu cheajovili changali miluhumu,
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.”
Muni lijambu leajovili mlota wa Chapanga litimilayi, “Yati nijova nawu kwa luhumu, yati nikuvajovela mambu gegafiyiki kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima.”
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.”
Kangi Yesu avalagili vandu vala, akayingila munyumba. Vawuliwa vaki vamhambalili vakamjovela, “Utidandaulila luhumu lwa masindi kumgunda.”
37 He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
Yesu akavayangula, “Mmija mbeyu zabwina ndi Mwana wa Mundu
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,
Mgunda wula ndi pamulima. Mbeyu zabwina zila ndi vandu vala unkosi ndi wavi. Nambu masindi gala ndi vandu va yula Mhakau.
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)
Mundu likoko yula mweamijili masindi ndi Setani. Mabenu ndi mwishu wa mulima uwu, vabenaji ndi Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga. (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)
Ngati chavitupula masindi na kugayocha motu, ndi yati cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu. (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 wa Mundu yati akuvatuma Vamitumu vaki va Chapanga vavayola kuhuma ku Unkosi waki voha vevibudisa vandu kwa Chapanga na vevavi na matendu gahakau,
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
na kuvataga mulitanulu la motu ukali kwenuko yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Kangi, vandu vevihenga matendu gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati ving'asima ngati lilanga muunkosi wa Dadi wavi. Hinu mweavi na makutu ndi ayuwana!”
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.
“Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana ngati vindu vya mashonga gamahele vyevifiyiki kumgunda. Mundu mmonga ayiwene, akafiya kavili. Ahekili neju, hati akahamba kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na akagula mgunda wula.”
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
“Kavili Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na mgulisa vindu mweilonda chindu cha mashonga gamahele neju chechikemelewa lulu.
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
Peapatili lulu yimonga yeyiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele neju, akahamba, kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na kugula chindu chila.”
47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
“Mewawa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na ngwanda wa somba weujwigiwi munyanja, kulova somba ndalindali.
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.
Paumemili, valova somba vahutili pandumba, vakatama na kuhagula somba zabwina na kuvika mumadengu gavi, na somba zezawolili vakataga.
49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Chenichi ndi cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu, Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga yati vihumila na kupangula vandu vabwina na vandu vahakau, (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
kangi yati vakuvataga vandu vahakau mulitanulu la motu, kwenuko ndi yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.”
51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
Yesu akavakota, “Wu, mukugamanya mambu goha aga?” Vakamyangula, “Ena.”
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.”
Mwene akavajovela, “Hinu ndi kila muwula wa malagizu mweajiwulili kuuvala unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, iwanangana ngati mkolo nyumba mweiwusa vindu muchibana vya mashonga gamahele vyamupya na vyakadeni.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
Yesu peamali kujova miluhumu yeniyo awukili pandu pala,
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.
akahamba kumuji wavi. Akatumbula kuwula vandu munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, vevamyuwini vakakangasa, vakajova, “Mwenuyu apatili koki luhala ulu?” Na uhotola wa kuhenga gachinamtiti?
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?
Wu, mwenuyu lepi mwana wa yula mhongola mikongo? Na nyina waki ikemiwa lepi Maliya na valongo vaki, lepi Yakobo na Yosefu na Simoni na Yuda?
56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Valumbu vaki voha nakutama pamonga na tete? Hinu agapatili koki mambu ago goha?
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.”
Vabeli kumpokela, nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mlota wa Chapanga itopeswa kila pandu, nambu nakutopeswa pamuji wa kunyumba yaki mwene!”
58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
Hinu ndava ya kubela kumsadika kwavi, Yesu nakuhenga gachinamtiti yamahele kula.
