Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Mu mazuva awo Kereste ava kuhita mu mawa mwi zuva lye Pumulo. Balutwana bakwe vava fwile izaala mi chi vatanga ku totola zikunku, ni kulya.
2 But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Kono linu Vafalisi hava vona kuti; Chi va cho kuti kwa Kereste, “Voone, valutwana va ko kwete kuchola mulawo mwi zuva lye Pumulo.”
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Kono Kereste cha wamba ku vali, “Kana ka mwini kuvala za vapangi Daafita, ha vali kufwile inzala, mi vakwame va vali kwina naye?
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
Mwa vayendeli mwi zuuvo ye Reeza mi chalya chinkwa chivena kwateni, kena avali cha mulawo kuti alye, hape kena chivali cha mulawo kwavo va vena naye, mi ku vali mulawo ku vali valuti?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Kana kena mu va vali mu mulawo, kuti mwi zuva lye Pumulo valuti mwi tempele va cholanga mulawo we Pumulo mi ka vena mulandu?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
Kono ni cho kwenu kuti mu kulwana yo hita kereke zonse kwena.
7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Kambe chi muvali kwizi, 'Ni lakaza chisemo mi isinyi chitavelo,' ni musena mu va nyansi va sa foseze.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Chokuti Mwan'a Muntu nji Kereste we Pumulo.”
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
Linu Kereste cha funduka ku yenda mi cha yenda mu zivaka zavo za malapelelo. Mu lindile, kuvena mukwame ya va zuminine yiyanza.
10 And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Vafalisi chi va vuuza Jesu, chi vati, “Kana ku swanela kuhoza lye Pumulo?” kuti va wanine ha teni inzila yi cho kuti wa tenda chivi.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
Jesu na cho ku vali, “Muntu mwi ve njeni kwenu kuti ave ni ngu yi mwina, mi heva kuti iyi ngu iwila mwilindi mwi zuva lye Pumulo, ke se wi tuse ni kwi zwiisa?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Mu ku ve vule ni vutokwa kuti muntu ahite ngu! Ni hakuvavulyo kulukela ku va mulawo wa kutenda vulotu mwi zuva lye Pumulo.”
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
Linu Jesu cha ti ku mukwamwe, “Wolole yanza lyanko.” Cha li wolola, mi cha vo zekezwa makete, sina nji limwi yi yanza.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Kono va Falisi chi vazwa hanze mi chi va ka muveteka. Va vali ku ka vulola nzila mwe se va mwi hayile.
15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Kono Jesu heziva, cho volela mu masule. Vungi bwe nyangela vu va mwi chilile, mi cha va honza bonse.
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
Cho va layela kuti sanzi va mwi zi vahazi ku va mwi,
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
iyo iwoleka ku va niti, ku wamana ni chi va wambwa kwa Isaya wa mupolofita, ku cho,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
“Vone, Iwe mutang'a ngu uni va keti; yini suuni, yiye kwali luhuho lwangu lu va mushukelyi. Ka ni vike kwali Luhuho lwangu, mi ka huweleze inkatulo ku Machava.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Keti na hondane kamba ku huweleza hahulu; mane nangati zumwi vulyo kuti azuwe linzwi lyakwe mu makululu.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Ke se na chole impee yitengeme; ke se na zimise mu muni usa zwisi vuusi, konji pili cha tumina inkatulo kuti nje yikome.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Mi va Machava konji chi va kolwisisa mwi ziina lyakwe.”
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Linu zumwi yo fwile menso ni chimumu, wi nji hilwe madimona, ava letwa kwa Kereste. Cha mu haza, che kalavo yi cho kuti chimumu chiwambe ni ku vonna.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Inyangela yonse chi ya komokwa mi chi ya ti, “Kana kuti uzu muntu mwan'a Daafita?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Kono linu va Falisi ha va zuwa imakazo, chi vati, “Uzu muntu ka hindiki madimona konji cha Veelzebub, mu kulwana wa madimona”
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Kono Jesu ave zivi milelo yavo mi cha ti ku vaali, “Umwi ni umwi muvuso ukawuhene hakati uwo wi ne ka wu wanike kuti u shinyiwa, mi muleneñi ni muleneñi kapa izuuvo yi ka wuhene hakati yiyo yine ke se ni zimane hamwina.
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Heva Javulusi na hindika Javulusi, U li ka wuhenye hakati eye mwine. Kana uwo muuso ka wu kuzimane vule?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Mi heva ni hindika madimona cha Veelzevule, cwale nji mwi zina lyani valutwana mu va hindikila? Vakeñi che zi, ka va ve vaatuli venu.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Kono heva Ni tanda madimona cha Luhuho lwa Simwine Reeza, linu muvuso we Reeza wize hewulu lyenu.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Mi kwiza vule kuti zumwi wi njila muzuvo ya muntu wina ziiho mi wiiva zibya za mwi zuuvo na sa sumini mukwame yo kolete lye tanzi? Linu cwale mweve zibya za kwe mwi zuuvo.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Yiye ya sa zimene name uni toyete, mi yiye ya sa likopanyi name u hasana.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Kuzwaho Ni cho kwenu niti, chivi chonse ni ku nyasilizwa ka zi swalelwe bantu, kono nyefulo zonse ku wamana ni Luhuho ke se ni kuve ni swalelo.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. (aiōn g165)
Mi vonse va wamba linzwi lifusahele ku Mwan'a Muntu, ka va swalelwe kwali. Kono vonse va wamba kunyasiliza Luhuho lu Njolola, ke se ni va swalelwe, ni heva munu mwifasi, ni heva mwifasi likeza. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.
U wola kutenda isamu vulotu ni zichelantu za teni kapa isamu kufwa ni zichelantu za teni kufwa, kakuti isamu lizivahala cha zi chelantu za teni.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Yinwe vaana va zihili, kuzwaho mwina vuuvi, mu woola vule ku wamba zilotu? Kakuti ku zwililila kunkulo kaholo kawamba.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Muntu yo shiyeme u zwisa chimbule chilotu kuzwililila kunkulo, mi muntu u fosahele u zwiisa chimbule chi fosahele ku zwililila kwikulo yakwe.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Mi ni milwilite kuti mwi zuva lwe katulo bantu ka va ve ni bwikalavelo ku linzwi ni linzwi li va va wamba.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Cho kuti cha maanzwi yenu ka mu wane ku shemuviwa, mi cha manzwi yenu ka mu hewe mulandu.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Linu va mwi vañoli ni va Falisi chi vetava Jesu mi chi vaati, “Muluti, tu likumbuta ku vona chisupo chi zwa kwako.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Kono Jesu che tava naati kuvali, “Mu vilala ni lusika lusangu lu lola vulyo chisupo. Kono ka kwina chisupo chense chi vonwe konji chisupo cha Joona wa mupolofita.
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Chokuti Joona ave kali mazuva otatwe ni masiku otatwe mwi vuumo lye inswi yikulite, mi na ye Mwan'a Muntu mwe kale mazuva otatwe ni masiku otatwe mwi kulo ye faasi.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
Vaanakwame va munzi wa Nenive ka va zimane kwi katulo ni lusika lunu lwa suunu mi ka lunyanswe. Chokuti mu va sikuluhi chekutazo ya Joona, mi voone, zumwi mukulana kwa Joona kwena hanu.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Simwine wa mukulwakazi yo zwa kwa Mbowela ka zimane ni lusika lunu lwa suunu ni ku watulwa. U kazwila ku ma mani mani ye kanda ku keza kwi za kuzuwa za vutali bya Solomoni, mi voone, zumwi mukulwana kwa Solomoni kwena hanu.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Linu cwale luhuho luvilala haluzwa ku muntu ku yenda, lu yenda muzivaka zi sena menzi mi lu lola chi vaka cha ku pumula kono ka chi waniki.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
Linu lu wamba kuti, 'Mu ni vole kuzuvo yangu ku ni vali kuhala.' Ha lu voola, lu ka wana kuti inzuvo yikulitwe hande mi ni ku vikwa hande.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Linu luyenda ni ku ka hinda zimwi yihuho zi kwanisa yiyaza ni tovele ku hita lyetanzi, mi yonse ni yenza kuhala mwateni. Linu mayemo a muntu ava mavilala kuhita lye tanzi. Mu ku ve vulyo vu vilala ni ku lusika lunu lwa sunu.”
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Haho Jesu na si kwete ku wamba ku chilundwamanje, muvone, vanyina ni vanche va va zimene hanze ni va saka ku wamba kwali.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Zuumwi chati kwali, “Voone, va nyoko ni va chanko va zimene hanze, va sa ka ku wamba kwako.”
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Linu Jesu che tava mi naati kwali ya va mu wambili, “Njeni Mayo? Mi nji vaani va chevangu?”
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Linu cha wolola yi yanza lya kwe ku va lutwana mi cha ti, “Voone, ava nji va mayo ni va chevangu!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Chokuti yense wi chilila intato ya Taayo wina kwiwulu, uzo muntu mwa changu, mi nji nchizyangu mi nji maayo.”
