< Matthew 13 >

1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Ndaŵi jijojo, Che Yesu ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jila, ŵajawile kukutama mungulugulu litanda.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Mipingo jajikulungwa ja ŵandu jansyungwile nipele ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama. Ŵandu wose ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda,
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile indu yejinji kwa itagu, achitiji, “Mpilikane! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
“Paŵaliji nkumisa mbeju, sine syapatuchile mungulugulu matala ga mmigunda, nipele yaiche ijuni ni kusimila.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Sine syapatuchile mmaganga pangali litaka lyejinji. Syawoneche simesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyaliji kanandi.
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Nipele, lyuŵa palyaŵasile syatiniche ligongo michiga jakwe jaliji nganijijinjilisya paasi, syajumwile.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Sine syapatuchile pa miiŵa, nombe miiŵa jo jamesile ni kusiŵijikanya.
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Sine syapatuchile pa litaka lya chajila, syamesile, ni kusogola, sine mia moja, sine sitini ni sine selasini.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Jwakwete mapilikanilo ga kupilikanila, apilikane!”
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao Che Yesu ŵajaulile ni kwausya kuti, “Ana ligongo chi nkuŵecheta ni ŵandu kwa itagu?”
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe ukombole wa kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa kwinani nambo ŵanewo nganapegwa.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chapegwe ni kujonjecheswa, nambo jwele jwanganakola chindu, atamuno chele chakwete cho chasumulwe.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Kwa ligongo lyo nguŵecheta nawo kwa itagu, pakuŵa akulola nambo ngakulola, akupilikana nambo ngakupilikanichisya atamuno ngakumanyilila.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Kwa ŵelewo gamalile agala maloŵe gaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti: ‘Kupilikana chimpilikane nambo ngammanyilila. Kulola chinlolechesye nambo ngammona.
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Pakuŵa lunda lwa ŵele ŵandu wo lupungwene, agasiŵile mapilikanilo gao, akupilenje. Nambo ikaliji akulola kwa meeso gao, ni kupilikana kwa mapilikanilo gao, nombe akamanyilile kwa lunda lwao, ni kung'alauchila, none ngaalamisye.’
16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
“Nambo nkwete upile ŵanyamwe pakuŵa meeso genu gakulola ni mapilikanilo genu gakupilikana.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them.]
Ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵakulondola achajinji ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵasachile kugaona gankugaona nambo nganagaona ni kugapilikana gamkugapilikana nambo nganagapilikana.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
“Nipele, ŵanyamwe mpilikane malumbo ga achi chitagu cha jwakupanda chi.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
Jwalijose jwakulipilikana liloŵe lyankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu pangalimanyilila, ali mpela mbeju sisyapatuchile mmatala ga mmigunda, Jwangalumbana jula akwika kuchityosya chele chepandikwe mu ntima mwakwe cho.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile mmaganga, sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulipochela kwa unonyelo.
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Nambo ngakulikamulichisya ni nganakola michiga nkati mwakwe, akulikamula katema kakajipi pe, pakukutyochela kulaga ni kusauka kwa ligongo lya liloŵe lyo, papopo akuleka kulikulupilila liloŵe.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa miiŵa syo sili mpela mundu jwakulipilikana liloŵe, nambo kwa ligongo lya kuchenjeuchila masengo ga umi watulinawo ni kuchinonyela kwannope chipanje kukuliŵijikanya liloŵe lyo, nombejo ngakusogola isogosi, yaani kupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa litaka lyambone sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulimanyilila, jwelejo akupanganya yejinji yambone yaikusachilwa mpela mbeju ijikuti pakusogola, jimo mia moja, jine sitini, ni jine selasini.”
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ukulandana ni mundu jwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda wakwe.
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Nambo ŵandu paŵaliji agonile, ŵaiche jwammagongo jwakwe, ŵapandile masindi mwepande ngano, ni kutyoka.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Nipele, pasyamesile mbeju ni kutanda kusogola ni masindi gatandite kuwoneka.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Achikapolo ŵa asyene ngunda ŵaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, ngati mwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda mwenu? Sambano gatyochele kwapi masindi?’
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Nipele ŵatite, ‘Jwammagongo ni jwatesile yeleyo.’ Nipele, achikapolo wakwe ŵaausisye, ‘Uli, nkusaka tujaule tukagatupule?’
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Nombejo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngwamba, pachintupule masindi, pane chinkatupule pamo ni ngano.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Nneche ikule yose pamo mpaka katema ka kugungula. Nipele, katema ka kugungula chinjasalila ŵakugungula kuti, nsonganganye kaje masindi nkagataŵikanye ilingo ilingo, nkagatinisye. Nambo ngano nsonganganye ni kutaga mu ngokwe jangu.’”
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaatagulile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali jatosile mundu ni kujipanda mungunda mwakwe.
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Jisyene jili jajinandi kusipunda mbeju sine syose, nambo jamelaga ni kukula jikuŵa jajikulungwa kupunda mimela jose. Ukukula ni kuŵa chitela mpaka ijuni ya mwinani ikwika ni kutaŵa isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni amila jajigele jwankongwe jumo, ni kuwanganya ni utandi mbisi siŵili ni nusu, ni utandi wose wasaseŵele.”
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu yose kwa itagu. Ni pangali chitagu nganiŵasalila chachili chose.
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Pakuti limalile liloŵe lyaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu: “Chiŵechetenawo kwa itagu, chinaasalile ŵandu indu yaisisikwe chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.”
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaichile ni kwasalila, “Ntugopolele chitagu cha masindi ga mungunda.”
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakupanda mbeju syambone ni Mwana jwa Mundu.
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
Nombe ngunda uli chilambo chino. Nombe syele mbeju syambone syo sili ŵele ŵandu ŵati Umwenye uli wo. Nambo masindi ali ŵandu ŵa jwangalumbana jula.
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
Nombe jwammagongo jwapandile masindi ali Shetani. Magungulo gali mbesi ja chilambo chino, nombe ŵakugungula ali achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
Mpela ila masindi igakuti pakusonganganywa ni kutinisya, iyoyo ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mwana jwa Mundu chachalajisya achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti asonganganye kutyochela mu Umwenye wao wose aŵala ŵakwaleŵekasya ŵandu atende sambi ni wose ŵatesile ya sambi.
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo chiŵaponye ŵandu pa litanuli lya mooto wakalipa ni kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Kele katema ko ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chachimelemenda mpela lyuŵa mu Umwenye wa Atati ŵao. Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikanile!
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbiko jajisisiche mu ngunda. Mundu jumpepe ŵajiweni ni kujisisa sooni. Nipele ŵasangalele nnope ni ŵajawile kukuisumisya iŵakwete yose ni kusuma ngunda ula.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
“Sooni, umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwakusumisya malonda achisosaga igogo yambone.
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Nombe paŵachiweni chigogo chimo cha ndalama jajikulungwa, ŵajawile, ŵaisumisye iŵakwete yose, ŵachisumile chigogo chila.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
“Sooni, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni lwau lwauponyekwe mu litanda, lwatanjile somba syasili syose.
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Lwau palwagumbele, ŵakukoka somba ŵaluutile kumbwani, ŵatemi kusagula somba syambone ni kusitaga mu itundu yao ni somba syangalumbana ŵasijasile.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
Yeleyi ni ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino, achikatumetume ŵa kwinani chachikopochela, chiŵalekanganye ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana. (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Nombe ŵele ŵangalumbana wo chiŵajasile pa litanuli lya mooto. Kweleko chachilila ni kuchilimya meeno.”
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana gele gose ga nkugamanyilila?” Ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Kwa ligongo lyo, jwakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa jwalijose jwakuŵa jwakulijiganya jwa Umwenye wa kwinani, alandene ni nsyene nyuumba jwakukoposya mu mbiko jakwe indu ya ndalama ya sambano ni indu ya ndalama ya kalakala.”
53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yele itagu yo, ŵatyosile pelepo,
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
ni ŵapite mu musi wao. Kweleko ŵajiganyaga ŵandu mu nyuumba jao ja kupopelela, nombewo ŵasimosile nikuti, “Jweleju apatile kwapi alu lunda lu ni ukombole wa kuipanganya yakusimonjeka?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Ana ajuju ngati mwana jwa jwakusepa itela? Achikulu ŵao ngati akuŵilanjikwa che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngati che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Simoni ni che Yuda?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Achalumbugwe wose ngati ali pamo ni uweji? Nambi ajuju apatile kwapi aga gose ga?”
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Nipele, nganiŵakunda. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa nambo ngaakuchimbichikwa mu chilambo chakwe ni mu nyuumba jakwe!”
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Kwa ligongo lyo, nganatenda yakusimonjeka yaijinji ligongo lya ungali chikulupi wao.
