Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
Yesu walatanta mu bwato ne kutampuka lwenje, kuya kumunshi nkwalikwikala.
2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
Kopeloko bantu nabambi balamuletela mulema watontola myendo kabali bamoneka pampasa. pakubona lushomo lwabo, Yesu walambila mulema uyo “Yumisha moyo omwanobe! bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
Mpwalenseco beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose nabambi, balatatika kumufwiya mumyoyo yabo ne kwambeti, “Uyu muntu lanyanshanga Lesa!”
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
Nomba Yesu pakwishiba miyeyo yabo walambeti, “Mukute kuyeyela cani bintu byaipa mumyoyo yenu?
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Capubako nicipeyo kwambeti, ‘Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa’ Nambi kwambeti, ‘nyamuka wende.’
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
Nomba ndayandanga kwambeti mwinshibeti, Mwana Muntu ukute ngofu shakulekelela bwipishi pacishi capanshi pano.” Neco walambila mulema watontola myenda uyu, “Nyamuka manta mpasa yakobe, koya kwenu.”
7 And the man got up and went home.
Popelapo muntu usa walanyamuka ne kuya kumunshi kwabo.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Bantu basa mpobalaboneco, balekatwa buyowa, ne kulumbanya Lesa walapa bantu ngofu shabwendeleshi shilicisa.
9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
Yesu mpwalikufumako walabona muntu walikukwiweti, Mateyo kaliwekala mukanda ka misonko, walamwambileti, “Nenjobe, nkonke.” Pacindi copeleco Mateyo walanyamuka ne kumukonkela.
10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
Yesu mpwalikulya mu ng'anda ya Mateyo. Kwalesa beshimisonko bangi, ne beshi kwinsa byaipa, balesa kulya nendi pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Mpobalaboneco Bafalisi, balatatika kubepusha beshikwiya bakendi Yesu eti, “Inga bashikwiyisha benu balalingeconi pamo ne beshimisonko, ne beshi kwinsa byaipa?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Nendi Yesu pakunyumfweco, walabakumbuleti, “Bantu balabulunga kukolwa nkabakute kuyanda mu ng'anga sobwe, nsombi balwashi ebakute kuyanda mung'anda.”
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
“Nomba kamwiyani cilambanga maswi awa, alambangeti, ‘Nkandayandangeti bantu bampe milumbo sobwe, nsombi ndayandangeti bantu beenshilenga nkumbo kubanabo.’ Pakwinga nkandaleshila kukuwa bantu balulama sobwe, nsombi beshikwinsa byaipa.”
14 At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya ba Yohane mubatishi, balesa kuli Yesu ne kumwipusheti, “Afwe, ne Bafalisi tukute kulikanisha kulya tunkanda twingi, nomba nicani beshikwiya benu nkabakute kulikanishapo?”
15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
Nendi Yesu walambeti, “Sena banendi shibwinga ngabalyetesha bacibanga pamo ne shibwinga? Ico nkacinshiki sobwe! Nomba nicikashike cindi ncotibakamufulepo shibwinga usa, popelapo nibakatatike kulikanisha kulya.
16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
“Muntu nkakute kumamika cikamba ca cikwisa ca lino lino ne kucitungila pa mwinjila ukulukulu, pakwinga cikamba ca cikwisa ca lino lino ngacikokonyana nekumatula uwo mwinjila ukulukulu, ne kumatuka kulico kukute kushiya cibwanko.
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Kayi paliya muntu ukute kubika waini mucifwafumwa cacipaya cakaindi sobwe, pakwinga nawinseco, cifwafumwa cacipaya ngacipasuka, waini ngautaika, nasho nkomwa ngashibula ncito. Waini walino lino bakute kubika munkomwa sha lino lino. Neco byonse bibili bikute kubambwa cena.”
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
Yesu kacamba, kwalesa mukulene wa Bayuda walesa kumusuntamina ne kwambeti, “Mwaname mutukashi ulipepi kufwa, ndapapata kamwisani mubike makasa enu palyendiye, kwambeti abe muyumi.”
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
Popelapo Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balanyamuka ne kuya nendi.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
Lino palikuba mutukashi walikukolwa bulwashi bwa mukunko kwa byaka likumi ne bibili, walesa cakunyuma kwa Yesu, ne kwisa kwikata kucelele kwa munganjo wa Yesu,
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
mumoyo mwakendi walikayeyeti, “Na njikatekowa munganjo wakendi ni nsengulwe.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
Yesu popelapo walacebuka ne kumubona mutukashi uyo, Yesu walambeti, “Yumisha moyo mwaname, lushomo lwakobe lulakupulushu.” Pacindi copeleco mutukashi usa walasengulwa.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
Yesu mpwalashika ku ng'anda kwa mukulene wa Bayuda usa, walacana bantu kabalilisha mikonkobesho nebisekele, nabambi kabalyuma pacali kulila mibila.
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
Lino nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Kamupulani mwense, kashimbi uyu uliya kufwa sobwe, nsombi wonowatulo.” Popelapo bangi balatatika kumuseka.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Nomba bonse mpobalapulamo mu ng'anda, Yesu walaya kucimpetela nkwalikuba ne kuyakwikata kashimbi uyu pacikasa, popelapo walapunduka.
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
Impuwo iyi yalanyumfwika mucibela ca cishico.
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Mpwalikufumako, bantu bashipilwa babili balamukonkela nekutatika kubilikisheti, “Amwe Yesu mwanendi Dafeti, tunyumfwilekoni nkumbo!”
28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
Yesu mpwalengila mung'anda bashipilwa babili basa balesa kulyendiye. nendi walabepusheti, “Sena mwashometi ngandimusengula?” Naboyo balakumbuleti, “Ee twashoma Nkambo.”
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
Yesu walabekata mumenso, ne kwambeti, “Cinshike kwelana ne lushomo lwenu.”
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
Popelapo menso abo alacaluka, balacikonsha kubona. Nomba Yesu walabambilisheti kabataya bambileko muntu naba umo sobwe.
31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
Nomba kufumapo balo balatatika kumwaya mpuwo kumuntu uliyense mucibela ico.
32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
Mpobalapula mung'anda nekutatika kuya, bantu nabambi balaleta muntu walikuba cibulu, cebo cakwikatwa ne mushimu waipa.
33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Yesu mpwalaufunya mushimu waipa usa, muntusa walacikonsha kwamba. Nomba bantu balakankamana cakwinseti balatatika kwambeti, “Nkatuna tucibonapo cintu camushoboyu mu Islayeli!”
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
Nomba nabo Bafalisi balambeti, “Lamupanga ngofu shakufunya mishimu yaipa ni mukulene wa mishimu yaipa.”
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
Yesu walendana mu minshi inene, ne ing'ana ing'ana, walikwiyisha mu misena yabo yakupaililamo, ne kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Bwami bwa Lesa, Kayi walasengula bulema bwapusanapusana ne malwashi apusana pusana.
36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Yesu mpwalabona makoto a bantu, walanyumfwa luse, pakwinga balikuba bantu balemenwa kayi batyompwa kubeti mbelele shabula mwembeshi.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Butebushi bulafulu, nomba basebenshi balacepe.
38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
Neco, kamusengani Lesa mwine butebushi kwambeti atume basebenshi bangi kuya kutebula.”
