< Matthew 9 >

1 And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.
Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa, ŵajombweche litanda ni kwika mmusi wao.
2 And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
Pelepo ŵandu ŵampeleche mundu jumo jwatatele chiilu, ali agonile mu chitagala. Nipele Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao, ŵansalile mundu jwakutatala jula, “Muusimane mtima, ambusanga! Nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
3 And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
Nipele, ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵane ŵatandite ganisya mmitima jao aninkuti, “Mundu ju akwatukana Akunnungu!”
4 And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
Che Yesu ŵasimanyi ng'anisyo syao ni ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuganisya yangalumbana mmitima jenu?
5 For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
Chichi chili chakwepepala nnope, kusala, ‘Sambi syenu silecheleswe,’ pane kusala, ‘Njimuche, Njaule?’
6 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill, ) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
Nambo, ngusaka mmanyilile kuti Mwana jwa Mundu akwete ukombole pa chilambo pano wa kwalechelesya ŵandu sambi syao.” Pelepo ŵansalile jwakutatala jo, “Njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu njaule kumangwenu.”
7 And he got up and went away to his house.
Nipele, mundu jo ŵajimwiche ni kwaula kumangwao.
8 But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
Ŵandu wose mu mpingo wo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵasimosile ni kukamulwa ni lipamba, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu uŵapele ŵandu ukombole wanti yele.
9 And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ni paŵajaulaga, ŵambweni mundu jumo ali atemi mu nyuumba ja kulipila nsongo liina lyakwe che Matayo. Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munguye.” Nombe che Matayo, ŵajimwiche ni kwakuya.
10 And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
Che Yesu paŵaliji mu nyuumba ji che Matayo kulya chakulya, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵaali ni sambi ŵaiche ni kutama pamo nawo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
Mafalisayo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu, “Kwachichi jwakunjiganya akulya pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵaali ni sambi?”
12 But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
Che Yesu ŵagapilikene gelego ni ŵajanjile, “Ŵangakulwala ngakwalajila ŵantela, ikaŵe ŵakulwala ni ŵakwalajila ŵantela.
13 But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
Nipele, njaule nkalijiganye malumbo ga maloŵe ga, ‘Ngusaka chanasa, ngaŵa mbopesi.’ Nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu nambo ŵaali ni sambi.”
14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Uweji ni Mafalisayo tukutaŵa kaŵilikaŵili, kwachichi ŵakulijiganya ŵenu ngakutaŵa?”
15 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uli, nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kwatendekasya achambusanga ŵa mlombela asupuche akuno ali pamo nawo? Ngwamba! Nambo chikaiche katema pachajigalikwe mlombela jo pasikati jao, gele moŵa go chachitaŵa.
16 And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.
“Ngapagwa mundu jwakutotela chigamba cha nguo jasambano mu nguo jewisale. Atamuno atendaga yeleyo chigamba chasambano cho chichipapule nguo jo, ni upapuche wakwe chiupundanganye.
17 And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
Sooni ngapagwa ŵandu ŵakutaga divai jasambano mu misaku jewisale jekolochekwe ni mapende. Pakuŵa jele divai jasambano jo chijipapule misaku ni divai chijimwasiche ni misaku jo chijijonasiche. Nambo ŵandu akutaga divai jasambano mu misaku jasambano ni yose yana iŵili ikugosekwa.”
18 While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta gelego, ŵaiche chilongola jumo jwa Chiyahudi, ŵatindiŵalile ni kuti, “Mwali jwangu akuwa sampano. Nambo, choonde twende nkaasajichile nkono wenu kuti akole umi.”
19 And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
Che Yesu ŵajimi ni kunkuya, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajawile pamo nawo.
20 And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
Jwakopochele jwankongwe jumo juŵalwalaga magono kwa yaka likumi ni iŵili, ŵannyichilile Che Yesu panyuma, ŵakwaiye lujenje lwa mwinjilo wao.
21 Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
Ŵatesile yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaganisisye muntima mwao kuti, “Nakwayaga pe mwinjilo wakwe, chilame.”
22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.
Nombe Che Yesu ŵagalawiche, ŵamweni ni ŵansalile, “Muusimane ntima, mwanangu, chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Jwankongwe jo ŵalamile katema kakoko.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaiche mu nyuumba ja chilongola jula. Ni ŵaweni ŵakugomba ipeta ni mpingo wa ŵandu aninkulila kwa malumbo,
24 He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.
ni ŵatite, “Ntyochanje pelepa, pakuŵa mwali ju nganajasika, agambile gona pe.” Ni ŵanyawo ŵaasechile.
25 But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
Ŵandu ŵala paŵaŵinjikwe, Che Yesu ŵajinjile nkati, ŵankamwile nkono mwali jula, nombejo ŵajimwiche.
26 And the news of it went out into all that land.
Ngani jila jajenele pa chilambo pala pose.
27 And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.
Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ni paŵaliji nkwaula, ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵangakulola ŵankuiye achinyanyisyaga, “Choonde Mwana ju che Daudi ntukolele chanasa!”
28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵangakulola wala ŵajaulile, nombejo ŵausisye, “Ana nkukulupilila kuti ngukombola kunlamya?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Elo, Ambuje.”
29 Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵagakwaiye meeso gao, ŵatite, “Iŵeje kukwenu mpela inkuti pakukulupilila.”
30 And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.
Meeso gao gaugwiche. Nombe Che Yesu ŵakanyisye kwa nnope kuti, “Ngasimunsalila mundu jwalijose ngani ji.”
31 But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵatyosile ni kutanda kwenesya ngani si Che Yesu mchilambo chila chose.
32 And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.
Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵala paŵaliji nkutyoka, ŵandu ŵane ŵannyichisye Che Yesu mundu jumo jwangakuŵecheta kwa ligongo lya kukamulwa ni masoka.
33 And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
Paŵankopwesye masoka papopo mundu jwangakuŵecheta jula, ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ŵandu ŵasimosile nikuti, “Nganigawoneche kose gelega mu chilambo cha ku Isilaeli!”
34 But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.
Nambo Mafalisayo ŵatite, “Akugakoposya masoka kwa machili ga jwankulu jwa masoka.”
35 And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.
Che Yesu ŵasyungwile mose mmisi ni mmisinda jose, achijiganyaga mmajumba gao ga kupopelela, ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwalamisya ŵandu ilwele yose ni kulaga kwakulikose.
36 But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.
Nipele, paŵaweni ŵandu, mipingo kwa mipingo, ŵakolele chanasa pakuŵa ŵapesile ni kukola lipamba chisau ngondolo syangali ni jwakuchinga.
37 Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.
Pelepo ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Magungulo gali gamajinji, nambo ŵakugungula nganatupa.
38 Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
Nipele mwapopele Ambuje ŵa magungulo, apeleche ŵakupanganya masengo mmagungulo gao.”
