Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
Yesu atatsiriza kunena zinthu zimenezi, anachoka ku Galileya ndi kupita ku chigawo cha Yudeya mbali ina ya mtsinje wa Yorodani.
2 and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Magulu akulu a anthu anamutsatira Iye, ndipo iwo anachiritsidwa pomwepo.
3 And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Afarisi ena anabwera kwa Iye kudzamuyesa. Anamufunsa Iye nati, “Kodi ndikololedwa kuti mwamuna amuleke mkazi wake pa chifukwa china chilichonse?”
4 But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge kuti pachiyambi Mulungu analenga iwo, ‘mwamuna ndi mkazi?’
5 and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
Ndipo anati, ‘Pa chifukwa ichi mwamuna adzasiya abambo ake ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake, ndipo awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.’
6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
Motero salinso awiri ayi koma mmodzi. Nʼchifukwa chake chimene Mulungu wachimanga pamodzi munthu wina asachilekanitse.”
7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
Ndipo iwo anamufunsa nati, “Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani Mose analamula kuti mwamuna azipatsa mkazi wake kalata ya chisudzulo ndi kumuchotsa?”
8 He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mose anakulolezani kuti muzisudzula akazi anu chifukwa cha kuwuma mitima kwanu. Koma sizinali chotere kuyambira pachiyambi.
9 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
Ine ndikuwuzani kuti aliyense amene asudzula mkazi wake, osati chifukwa cha chiwerewere nakakwatira mkazi wina, achita chigololo.”
10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Ophunzira ake anati kwa Iye, “Ngati umu ndi mmene zilili pa mwamuna ndi mkazi, kuli bwino kusakwatira.”
11 And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Si aliyense amene angavomere chiphunzitso ichi, koma kwa okhawo amene achimvetsetsa.
12 for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
Pakuti ena ndi akuti sangakwatire chifukwa anabadwa motero, ena ali motero chifukwa chofulidwa ndi anthu ndipo ena anawukana ukwati chifukwa cha ufumu wakumwamba. Iye amene angalandire ichi alandire.”
13 Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
Pamenepo anabwera nawo ana kwa Yesu kuti awasanjike manja ndi kuwapempherera. Koma ophunzira ake anadzudzula amene anabweretsa anawo.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
Yesu anati, “Lolani ana abwere kwa Ine, ndipo musawaletse pakuti ufumu wakumwamba ndi wa iwo onga anawa.”
15 and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
Atasanjika manja ake pa anawo, anachokapo.
16 And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
Taonani mnyamata wina anabwera kwa Yesu namufunsa kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndi chinthu chiti chabwino chimene ndiyenera kuchita kuti ndipeze moyo wosatha?” (aiōnios g166)
17 And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ukundifunsiranji Ine za chinthu chimene ndi chabwino? Pali mmodzi yekha amene ndi wabwino. Ngati ukufuna kulowa mʼmoyo wosatha mvera malamulo.”
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mnyamatayo anamufunsa kuti, “Ndi ati?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Usaphe, usachite chigololo, usabe, usapereke umboni onama,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
lemekeza abambo ako ndi amayi ako ndipo konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini.”
20 The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
Mnyamatayo anati, “Zonsezi ndimazisunga, nanga chatsala ndi chiyani?”
21 Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati ukufuna kukhala wangwiro, pita kagulitse katundu wako ndi kupereka kwa osauka, ndipo udzakhala ndi chuma kumwamba. Ukakachita zimenezi, ukabwere udzanditsate Ine.”
22 But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
Mnyamatayo atamva zimenezi, anachoka mokhumudwa, chifukwa anali ndi chuma chambiri.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti nʼkovuta kuti olemera akalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba.
24 and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
Komanso ndikuwuzani kuti, nʼkwapafupi kuti ngamira idzere pa kabowo ka zingano kusiyana ndi kuti wolemera akalowe mu ufumu wa Mulungu.”
25 And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
Ophunzira atamva zimenezi, anadabwa kwambiri ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Nanga angapulumuke ndani?”
26 But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Yesu anawayangʼana iwo nati, “Ndi anthu, izi nʼzosatheka, koma ndi Mulungu zinthu zonse zimatheka.”
27 Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
Petro anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Ife tinasiya zonse ndi kukutsatirani Inu! Nanga tsono ife tidzalandira chiyani?”
28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti pa nthawi yokonzanso zinthu zonse, pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala pa mpando wake waufumu mu ulemerero wake kumwamba, inu amene mwanditsata Ine mudzakhalanso pa mipando khumi ndi iwiri yaufumu, kuweruza mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
29 And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ndipo aliyense amene wasiya nyumba, kapena abale, kapena alongo, kapena bambo kapena mayi kapena mkazi, kapena ana, kapena minda chifukwa cha Ine adzalandira madalitso ochuluka ndi kulandiranso moyo wosatha. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many first shall be last, and last first.
Koma ambiri amene ali oyambirira adzakhala omalizira, ndipo ambiri amene ndi omalizira adzakhala oyambirira.”
