Matthew 12
1 At that time, as Jesus was walking through the corn on Sabbath, his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat them.
Kuchindi echo Jesu wakayinka mubuzuba bwakulyokezya wayinda mumyunda yazilyo. Basikwiya bakwe bakafwa anzala eelyo bakasanguna kukulula mayila nkwalikumpela akwalya mituutu.
2 The Pharisees observing this, said to him, Lo! your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
Pesi baFalisi nibakabona oobo bakati kuli Jesu, “Bona, basikwiya bako bachita zitali mumulawu kuchitwa mubuzuba bwakulyokezya.”
3 He answered, Have you not read what David did, and his attendants, when they were hungry;
Pesi Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Takwe nimwakabalide Devidi mbakachita nakaba anzala, abaabo balumi mbakali aabo?
4 how he entered the tabernacle of God, and eat the loaves of the presence, which was not lawful for him, or his attendants, to eat but solely for the priests?
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 you not learnt from the law, that the priests in the temple violate the rest to be observed on Sabbaths, and are blameless?
Tamubalide mulawu kuti mubuzuba bwakulyokezya bapayizi muchikombelo balataluka mulawu wabuzuba bwakulyokezya pesi tabakwe mulandu?
6 Now I affirm, that something greater than the temple is here.
Pele ndati kulindinywe umwi mupati kwinda ngánda yaLeza ulaano.
7 But had you know what this means, "I desire humanity and not sacrifice," you 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 master of the Sabbath.
Eelyo mwana amuntu ngu Mwami wazuba lyakulyokezya.”
9 Leaving that place, he went into their synagogue,
Mpawo Jesu wakazwa oko akwinka kuchikombelo.
10 and found a man there whose hand was blasted. They asked Jesus, with a design to accuse him, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?
Amubone, kwakali muntu wakalinyanide kuboko. Bafalisi bakabuzya Jesu, bakati, “sena chililuleme kusikila mubuzuba bwakulyokezya?” Ikuti bamutamikizye kubisya.
11 He answered, What man is there amongst you, who having one sheep, if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
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 And does not a mean greatly excel a sheep? It is lawful, therefore, to do good on the Sabbath.
Chiinda bulemu biyeni, eelyo kumuntu nekuba kumbelele! Aboobo chililuleme kuchita chibotu mubuzuba bwakulyokezya.”
13 Then he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And as he stretched it out, it became sound like the other.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kumuntu, 'Tandabika kuboko kwako.” Wakatandabika, alubo lwakabwedezegwa mukupona, mbuli kwenzinyina kuboko.
14 But the Pharisees went out, and concerted against Jesus to destroy him.
Pesi ba Falisi bakayinka bakubamba mbubonya kabalikumuvwiya. Bakali kuyandula mbubanga balamujaya.
15 Jesus knowing this, departed; and being followed by a vast multitude, healed all their sick,
Mbuli mbwakaziba Jesu, wakazwa oko. Bantu banji bakamutobela, lino wakabasilika boonse.
16 enjoining them not to make him known.
Wakabalayilila kuti batachiti kuti azibinkane kulibamwi,
17 Thus the word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified,
zikazuzikizigwe, zyakambwa muli Isaya musinsimi, kuti,
18 "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights; I will cause my Spirit to abide upon him, and he shall give laws to the nations;
“Bona, mulanda wangu ngundakasala; Muyandwi wangu umwi, oyo muuya wangu ngundibotelwa. Ndiyobika muuya wangu alinguwe, eelyo uyobakambawukila bululami kulibamasi.
19 he will not contend, nor clamor, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets.
Takoyojana buyumuyumu na kukulililisya; nikuba umwi kumumvwa ijwi lyakwe mumigwagwa.
20 A bruised reed he will not break; and a dimly burning taper he will not quench, till he render his laws victorious.
Takwe nayotyola limwi ityetye lyakapwayulwa; takwepe nayozima kamuni kasuka kamulilo, kusikila wendelezya bululami mukuzunda,
21 Nations also shall trust in his name."
Abalabo bamasi bayoba bulangizi muzina lyakwe.”
22 Then was brought to him a demoniac, dumb, and blind, and he cured him, so that he both spoke and saw.
Eelyo umwi muntu utakuboni katambuli, wakanjidwe adimoni, wakeetwa kuli Jesu. Wakamusilika, azezyo zyakazwa kuti utambuli muntu wambula akubona.
23 And all the people said with amazement, Is this the son of David?
Makamu wonse akagamba akwamba, “ooyu muntu ngaulaba mwana wa Devidi na?”
24 But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This man expels demons only by Beelzebub, prince of the demons.
Pesi baFalisi nibakamvwa malele aaya bakati, “Ooyu muntu tatandi madimoni kunze kwa Bbelezebbulu, mupati wamadimoni.”
25 But Jesus, knowing their surmises, said to them, By intestine dissensions any kingdom may be desolated; and no city or family, where such dissensions are, can 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 Now if Satan expel Satan, his kingdom is torn by intestine dissensions; how can it then subsist?
Ikuti satani watanda satani, unoli ulikulikazya lwakwe. Bwami bwakwe nga bulimikila byeni?
27 Besides, if I expel demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons expel them? Wherefore they shall be your judges.
Lino na ndilatanda madimoni a Bbelizebbulu, ani batobezi banu batandyanzi? Nkambo kachechi, bayoba babetesi banu.
28 But if I expel demons by the Spirit of God, the Reign of God has overtaken you.
Pesi do katwatanda madimoni a muuya wa Leza, mpawo bwami bwa Leza bwasika akati alindinywe?
29 For how can one enter the strong one's house, and plunder his goods, unless he first overpower the strong one? Then indeed he may 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 who is not for me, is against me; and he who gathers not with me, scatters.
Umwi utali andime ukazyanya andime, alubo ayoyo utabungani andime ulamwayula.
31 Wherefore I say to you, though every other sin and detraction in men is pardonable, their detraction from the Spirit is unpardonable:
Aboobo ndati kulinduwe, chibi choonse akusampawuula bantu bayolekelelwa, pesi kutukila muuya takukwe kulekelelwa pe.
32 for whosoever shall inveigh against the Son of Man may obtain pardon; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, shall never be pardoned, either in the present state or the future. (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 call the tree good, and its fruit good; or call the tree bad, and its fruit bad: for we distinguish the tree by its fruit.
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 you that are evil speak good things, since it is out of the fullness of the heart that the mouth speaks.
Nywebo nubana banzoka, mbomunga muli babi, ngamulamba buti izintu zibotu? Kuzwa mumoyo mulizinji mulomo nzuwambula.
35 The good man, out of his good treasure, produces good things; the bad man, out of his bad treasure, produces bad things.
Muntu mubotu kuzwa kuzintu zibotu zyamoyo wakwe ulagusya nzizyonya, pele muntu mubi wakuzintu zibi zyamoyo wakwe mulazwa bubi kupela.
36 Be assured, however, that of every pernicious word which men shall utter, they shall give an account on the day of judgment.
Ndati kulinduwe mubuzuba bwalubeta bantu balakupa bupandanuzi kuli alimwi ijwi litali kabotu ndibakaamba.
37 For by your words you shall be acquitted, and by your words you shall be condemned.
Kuzwa kumajwi ako uyolulamikwa, akumajwi ako uyopegwa mulandu.”
38 Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees interposed, saying, Rabbi, we desire to see a sign for you.
Elyo balembi bamulawu bamwi, abaFalisi bakasandula akut, “Muyiisi tuyanda kubona chitondezyo kuzwa kulinduwe.”
39 He answering, said to them, An evil and adulterous race demands a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
Pesi Jesu wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, kufumbwa bubi abumambi kuzukulu lyasunu lyabayandula chitondezyo. Pesi tokwe chitondezyo pe chiyopegwa kunze kwachitondezyo cha Jona musinsiimi.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the bosom of the earth.
Mbanga Jona wakali amazuba atatu mubula bwamuswi mupati, alakwe Mwana Muntu uyoba amazuba atatu amansiku atatu mumoyo wanyika.
41 The Ninevites will stand up in the judgment against this race, and cause it to be condemned, because they reformed when they were warned by Jonah; and behold here something greater than Jonah.
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 The Queen of the South country will arise in the judgment against this race, and cause it to be condemned; because she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wise discourses of Solomon; and behold here something greater than Solomon.
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 An unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, wanders over the parched deserts in search of a resting-place. And not finding any,
Na muuya mubi wazwa kumuntu, wakwinda mukati kamasena atakwe maanzi akuyandula kulyokezya, pesi tawubujani pe.
44 he says, I will return to my house whence I came; and being come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
Mpawo lyakat, “Ndiyobweda kungánda yangu nkundakazwa; Nilyakabwed, lyakujana ng'anda eyo yakakukulwa akubambwa obotu.
45 Then he goes, and brings with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and having entered, they dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first: thus will it fare with this evil race.
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 While he discoursed to the people, his mother and brothers were without, desiring to speak with him.
Nakachili kwambula Jesu kumakamumakamu, amubone, banyina abakulana bakwe bakayimikila aanze, kabayandula kuti bambule anguwe,
47 And one said to him, Your mother and your brothers are without, desiring to speak with you.
Umwi wakati kulinguwe, “Bona banyoko abanike bako balimvwi aanze bayanda kwambula anduwe.”
48 He answering, said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?
Pesi Jesu wakasandula kuliyoyo wakamwambila, “Mbani baama bangu alubo mbaani banike bangu?”
49 The stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brothers.
Eelyo wakatandabika kuboko kwakwe akutondeka basikwiya bakwe mpawo wakati, “Bona, mbabo baama abanike bangu!
50 For whosoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nkambo kufumbwa uchita luyando lwa Taata ulikujulu, muntu oyo mukulana wangu, muchizi wangu, mbebaaba bangu.”
