Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
Kuchindi echo Jesu wakayinka mubuzuba bwakulyokezya wayinda mumyunda yazilyo. Basikwiya bakwe bakafwa anzala eelyo bakasanguna kukulula mayila nkwalikumpela akwalya mituutu.
2 But the Pharisees, seeing [it], said to him, Behold, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on sabbath.
Pesi baFalisi nibakabona oobo bakati kuli Jesu, “Bona, basikwiya bako bachita zitali mumulawu kuchitwa mubuzuba bwakulyokezya.”
3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?
Pesi Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Takwe nimwakabalide Devidi mbakachita nakaba anzala, abaabo balumi mbakali aabo?
4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only?
Wakanjila mungánda ya-Leza akulya chinkwa chakutwa, chitensi kumulawu kuti alye alubo chitali kumulawu akulabo mbakali abo, pesi kazili kumuawu kupela kubapayizi.
5 Or have ye not read in the law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Tamubalide mulawu kuti mubuzuba bwakulyokezya bapayizi muchikombelo balataluka mulawu wabuzuba bwakulyokezya pesi tabakwe mulandu?
6 But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.
Pele ndati kulindinywe umwi mupati kwinda ngánda yaLeza ulaano.
7 But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Namwakalizi echi nchichalikwamba, 'mebo ndiyanda luse pepe chipayizyo; temwalikubapa kambo batakwe mulandu.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.
Eelyo mwana amuntu ngu Mwami wazuba lyakulyokezya.”
9 And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.
Mpawo Jesu wakazwa oko akwinka kuchikombelo.
10 And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
Amubone, kwakali muntu wakalinyanide kuboko. Bafalisi bakabuzya Jesu, bakati, “sena chililuleme kusikila mubuzuba bwakulyokezya?” Ikuti bamutamikizye kubisya.
11 But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Inga ulaba mwalumi biyeni akati kanu, ngwani, na wali ambelele imwi, aboobo, na imbelele eyi yawida mudindi mubuzuba bwakulyokezya, takonga ulijata na akwigusya aanze?
12 How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
Chiinda bulemu biyeni, eelyo kumuntu nekuba kumbelele! Aboobo chililuleme kuchita chibotu mubuzuba bwakulyokezya.”
13 Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kumuntu, 'Tandabika kuboko kwako.” Wakatandabika, alubo lwakabwedezegwa mukupona, mbuli kwenzinyina kuboko.
14 But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Pesi ba Falisi bakayinka bakubamba mbubonya kabalikumuvwiya. Bakali kuyandula mbubanga balamujaya.
15 But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:
Mbuli mbwakaziba Jesu, wakazwa oko. Bantu banji bakamutobela, lino wakabasilika boonse.
16 and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:
Wakabalayilila kuti batachiti kuti azibinkane kulibamwi,
17 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
zikazuzikizigwe, zyakambwa muli Isaya musinsimi, kuti,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.
“Bona, mulanda wangu ngundakasala; Muyandwi wangu umwi, oyo muuya wangu ngundibotelwa. Ndiyobika muuya wangu alinguwe, eelyo uyobakambawukila bululami kulibamasi.
19 He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;
Takoyojana buyumuyumu na kukulililisya; nikuba umwi kumumvwa ijwi lyakwe mumigwagwa.
20 a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;
Takwe nayotyola limwi ityetye lyakapwayulwa; takwepe nayozima kamuni kasuka kamulilo, kusikila wendelezya bululami mukuzunda,
21 and on his name shall [the] nations hope.
Abalabo bamasi bayoba bulangizi muzina lyakwe.”
22 Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb [man] spake and saw.
Eelyo umwi muntu utakuboni katambuli, wakanjidwe adimoni, wakeetwa kuli Jesu. Wakamusilika, azezyo zyakazwa kuti utambuli muntu wambula akubona.
23 And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this [man] the Son of David?
Makamu wonse akagamba akwamba, “ooyu muntu ngaulaba mwana wa Devidi na?”
24 But the Pharisees, having heard [it], said, This [man] does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons.
Pesi baFalisi nibakamvwa malele aaya bakati, “Ooyu muntu tatandi madimoni kunze kwa Bbelezebbulu, mupati wamadimoni.”
25 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.
Pele Jesu walizi miyeyo yabo mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Bwami boonse bukazyania lwabo, buyomwayisigwa, alubo kufumbwa dolopo niba ng'anda ikazyania lwayo tikayimikili pe.
26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist?
Ikuti satani watanda satani, unoli ulikulikazya lwakwe. Bwami bwakwe nga bulimikila byeni?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.
Lino na ndilatanda madimoni a Bbelizebbulu, ani batobezi banu batandyanzi? Nkambo kachechi, bayoba babetesi banu.
28 But if I by [the] Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Pesi do katwatanda madimoni a muuya wa Leza, mpawo bwami bwa Leza bwasika akati alindinywe?
29 Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong [man] and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong [man]? and then he will plunder his house.
Alubo kulibiyeni kuti umwi anjile mung'anda yamuntu usimide akubba makwebo akwe katamusungide muntu usimide chakusanguna? Elyo uyobba makwebo akwe kuzwa mungánda yakwe.
30 He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
Umwi utali andime ukazyanya andime, alubo ayoyo utabungani andime ulamwayula.
31 For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Aboobo ndati kulinduwe, chibi choonse akusampawuula bantu bayolekelelwa, pesi kutukila muuya takukwe kulekelelwa pe.
32 And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one]. (aiōn g165)
Kufumbwa uwambula ijwi atala amwana muntu, ooyo uyolekelelwa. Pesi kufumbwa uwambula bubi atala a Muuya Uusalala, oyo takoyolekelelwa, na munyika eyi, na kuleeyo ichizosika. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known.
Chita musamu ubote ayala michelo yawo ibote, na kuchita musamu kuba mubi, amuchelo wayo ubije, mbuli kuti musamu uboneka amichelo yawo.
34 Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Nywebo nubana banzoka, mbomunga muli babi, ngamulamba buti izintu zibotu? Kuzwa mumoyo mulizinji mulomo nzuwambula.
35 The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things.
Muntu mubotu kuzwa kuzintu zibotu zyamoyo wakwe ulagusya nzizyonya, pele muntu mubi wakuzintu zibi zyamoyo wakwe mulazwa bubi kupela.
36 But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:
Ndati kulinduwe mubuzuba bwalubeta bantu balakupa bupandanuzi kuli alimwi ijwi litali kabotu ndibakaamba.
37 for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Kuzwa kumajwi ako uyolulamikwa, akumajwi ako uyopegwa mulandu.”
38 Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee.
Elyo balembi bamulawu bamwi, abaFalisi bakasandula akut, “Muyiisi tuyanda kubona chitondezyo kuzwa kulinduwe.”
39 But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Pesi Jesu wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, kufumbwa bubi abumambi kuzukulu lyasunu lyabayandula chitondezyo. Pesi tokwe chitondezyo pe chiyopegwa kunze kwachitondezyo cha Jona musinsiimi.
40 For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Mbanga Jona wakali amazuba atatu mubula bwamuswi mupati, alakwe Mwana Muntu uyoba amazuba atatu amansiku atatu mumoyo wanyika.
41 Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas [is] here.
Bantu baku Ninivu bayoyimikila kunembo lyalubeta azukulu eli lyabantu aboobo liyopegwa mulandu. Nkambo bakeempwa mukukambawuka kwa Jona, lino amubone, umwi mupati kwinda Jona uli aano.
42 A queen of [the] south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon [is] here.
Mwami mwanakazi wakumusama uyobuka kulubeta abantu bakwe bazukulu eli lyabantu akulipa mulandu. Wakazwa kumajinkilo anyika kuti azomvwe busongo bwa Solomoni, alubo bona, umwi mupati kwinda Solomoni ulaano.
43 But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find [it].
Na muuya mubi wazwa kumuntu, wakwinda mukati kamasena atakwe maanzi akuyandula kulyokezya, pesi tawubujani pe.
44 Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned.
Mpawo lyakat, “Ndiyobweda kungánda yangu nkundakazwa; Nilyakabwed, lyakujana ng'anda eyo yakakukulwa akubambwa obotu.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.
Elyo lilayinka akubweza bweza imbi myuuya ili musanu ayibili mibi kwinda nguwo, lino ilasika kuzokkala omo. Abobo bubi bwamuntu kumamanino bwakabisisisya kwinda kumatalikilo. Mbukuyoba mbubobo kuzukulu lyabubi eli.”
46 But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
Nakachili kwambula Jesu kumakamumakamu, amubone, banyina abakulana bakwe bakayimikila aanze, kabayandula kuti bambule anguwe,
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, seeking to speak to thee.
Umwi wakati kulinguwe, “Bona banyoko abanike bako balimvwi aanze bayanda kwambula anduwe.”
48 But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
Pesi Jesu wakasandula kuliyoyo wakamwambila, “Mbani baama bangu alubo mbaani banike bangu?”
49 And, stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren;
Eelyo wakatandabika kuboko kwakwe akutondeka basikwiya bakwe mpawo wakati, “Bona, mbabo baama abanike bangu!
50 for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in [the] heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nkambo kufumbwa uchita luyando lwa Taata ulikujulu, muntu oyo mukulana wangu, muchizi wangu, mbebaaba bangu.”
