Matthew 15
1 THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Mpawo bamwi ba Falisi abalembi bakasika kuli Jesu kabazwa ku Jelusalema. Bakaamba kuti,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
“Nkamboonzi basikwiya bako nibakazyania aziyanza zyabapati? Nkambo tabasambi pe mumaboko nibalya chinkwa.”
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Wakasandula akwamba kuti kulimbabo, “Alimwi nywebo - nkambonzi nimukazyania amulawu wa Leza nkambo kaziyanza zyanu?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Nkambo Leza wakamba kuti, “Lemeka wuso abanyoko, alimwi ooyo wambula bubi kuli wisi na banyina nkasimpe uyoofwa.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
Pesi mwamba kuti, kufumbwa lugwasyondunoli watambula kuzwa kuli ndime lino nchipo chipegwa kuli Leza,”
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Ooyo muntu telede kulemeka wisi. Munzila eyi mwawubula ijwi lya Leza. Malembe mabotu aachindi ali aajwi lya Leza aamwi malembe aachindi ali aamulawu. Nkuyumu kusalula chibalo chibotu. Nkambo kachiyanza chenu.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Nywebo nobasikuwupawupa! Isaya wakachita kabotu nakasinsiima aatala andinywe nakamba kuti,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
'Bantu aba balandilemya amilomo yabo, pesi myoyo yabo ilikule andime.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Balandikomba chabuyo, nkambo balayiisya milawo yabantu mbuli njiisyo zyabo.”
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Mpawo wakiita makamu kulinguwe mwini akwamba kuti kuli mbabo, “Amuswilile akumvwisya -
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Tachiwo chinjila mukanwa chisofwazya muntu. Pesi echo chizwa mukanwa, eechi ncheenchicho chisofwazya muntu.”
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Mpawo basikwiya bakasika akwamba kuti kuli Jesu, “Ulizi na kuti ba Falisi bakalebwa nibakamvwa makani aaya?”
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti, “Zizikki zyoonse ezyo Taata wakujulu nzyakatazikila ziyononkolwa.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Amubaleke aabalike, mbeenzyi boofu. Na moofu weenzya moofunyina, boonse bayowida mukkomba.”
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
Pita wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli Jesu, “Pandulula kalabiko aaka kulindiswe.”
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Jesu wakaamba kuti, “Anywebo aambuli sunu tamumvwisisyi na?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Tamumvwisisisyi na kuti kufumbwa echo chinjila mukanwa chilayinda mwida mpawo chilazwa aanze mpawo chilasowegwa mukkomba?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Pesi izintu ezyo zizwa mukanwa zilazwa mumoyo. Nzenzizyo ezyo zisofwazya muntu.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Nkambo kumoyo kulazwa miyeyo mibi, bujayi, bumambi, bwamu, kubba, bukamboni bwakubeja, akulengelela.
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Eezi nzenzizyo eezyo zisofwazya muntu. Pesi kulya amaboko atasambie pe takusofwazyi muntu pe.”
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Mpawo kuzwa awo Jesu wakazwa ooko akwinka kuzisi zyakumyunzi yaku Taya aku Sidoni.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Amubone, mwanakazi mu Kkenani wakazwa kuchisi echo. Wakoompolola akwamba kuti, “Ndifwide luzyalo, Mwami, Mwana wa Devidi! Mwana wangu musimbi ulijisi loko dimoni.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Pesi Jesu taakwe jwi ndyakamusandula pe. Basikwiiya bakwe bakeza akumukumbila, bakati, “Mutande, nkambo uli koompolola musule lyesu.”
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Pesi Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti, “Nsitumidwe nikuba kuli umwi pesi kumbelele ziswekede zyakungánda ya Izilayeli.”
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Pesi wakeza akuvundama aansi kunembo lyakwe, wati, “Mwami, ndigwasye.”
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Wakasandula akwamba kuti, “Tachili kabotu pe kubweza chinkwa chabana akuchisowela tunkala.”
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Wakati, “Mbukubede, Mwami, pesi aatulato tunkala tulalya tumwi twatufwefwelenga ooto tuuwa kumatebule abasimalelo aato.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Mpawo Jesu wakasandula akwamba kuti kulinguwe, “Yo mwanakazi, lusyomo lwako ndupati; akuchitwe kulinduwe mbubonya mbuli mboyanda.” Mwana wakwe musimbi wakaponesegwa kuzwa kuchindi echo.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
Jesu wakazwa kubusena oobo akwinka kumbali aalwizi lwaku Galili. Mpawo wakatanta akukkala nkuko.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
Makamu makamu abantu mapati akeza kulinguwe. Bakaza abalema, boofu, basyataambi, abantu batyokede, abamwi bayingi bakali kuchiswa. Bakababika kumawulu aa Jesu, mpawo wakabasilika.
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Eelyo makamu makamu akagamba nakabona bantu batambuli kabambula, batyokede kababakabotu, balemene kabeenda, aboofu kababona. Bakalumbayizya Leza wa Izilayeli.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Jesu wakaiita basikwiya bakwe akwamba kuti, “Ndafwaluzyalo kumakamu nkambo bakkala aandime kwamazuba ataatu kale mpawo tabakwe achakulya. Tandiyandi kubamwayisya kabatalyide, nkambo ngabayowizuka munzila.”
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
Basikwiya bakati kulinguwe, “Nkukuli nkotunga tulajana zinkwa zizulila kubusena bwankanda buliboobu kuti zikkutye makamu makamu mapati aalibobu?”
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Jesu wakati, “Mujisi zinkwa zyongane?” Bakati, “musanu azibili, atuswi tuchebiyo.”
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Mpawo Jesu wakalayilila makamu kuti akkale aansi aanyika.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Wakabweza zinkwa zili musanu azibili answi, mpawo nakamana kulumba, wakakwamuna zinkwa akuzipa kuli basikwiya.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
Basikwiya bakazipa kumakamu. Bantu boonse bakalya mpawo bakakkuta. Mpawo bakabunganisya nsangwa zili musanu azibili zyabu fwefwelenga bwakachaala.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Aabo bakazilya bakali zyuulu zyone zyabaalumi, kutabala abanakazi abaana.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Mpawo Jesu wakamwayisya makamu makamu abantu akunjila mubwato mpawo wakaya kuchisi chaku Magadani.
