< Matthew 19 >

1 It came about after Jesus had finished these teachings, that he removed from Galilee, and went to that part of Judea which lay across the Jordan.
Linu chikwa sika inako Jesu ha mana awo mazwi, ni cha zwa mwa Galilea, linu choya ku museto wa Judea uvena mwi shila lya lwizi lwa Jorodani.
2 A great multitude followed him, and he healed them there.
Ikunga lya batu bangi niba mwichilile, linu chaka va hozeza kwateni.
3 Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"
Mafalisi ni chibeza kwali, kwiza kumulika, “kana ku woleka kuti mukwame akauhane ni mwihyabwe kabu kavo bonse?”
4 "Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,
Jesu nabe tava kuti, “kana mubavali iye mwine yaba vapangi kuzwa ku matangilo aba vapangi mukwame ni mwakazi?
5 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?
Mukuti iye yaba vapangi avati kuti, 'chebaka mukwame mwa siye chivaka chibesi ni ba nyina aka kopane ni mwihyavwe?'
6 "Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
Linu boveree muvabe muntu umwina mwi nyama. Linu chava kopanyi Ireeza hamwina, kanji nikuvi niyete nachi kauhanye.”
7 They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her’a written bill of divorce,’ and so to put her away?"
Chiva wamba kwali, “chizi Mushe hava tulayi kuti uswanela ku hewa iñolo lye kauhano niku muhindika?”
8 "Moses," said Jesus, "permitted you to divorce your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so.
Nicha betava kuti, “bakenyi chaku kukutuhala kwe kulo zenu Mushe aba mizuminini ku kawuhana ni bamwi hyenwanwe kono kuzwa kumatangilo keena ivali nji zila iyo.
9 "And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
Ikumbya nimi wambila buniti, yense yo kana mwihyavwe isi ka mulandu wabu sangu, nikusesa wungi mwakazi upanga bushahi. Hape mukwame yosensa mwanakazi yava kanwa upanga bushahi.”
10 "If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."
Balutwana chiva ti kwa Jesu, “Haiva mukwi kalille mona bulyo bulotu bakwame ni banakazi kanji basesi ni kuseswa.”
11 He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.
Jesu nicha wamba kuvali nati, kahena muntu yese yo wola kuzumina zinu zikwetwe kurutwa, kono haisi avo va zumina kutambula icho.
12 "For there are eunuchs who have been such from birth; others who have been made such by men; and others who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
Kakuti kwina ba shalondo bava zalwa bovulyo kuzwa mu mavumu ava nyinavo. Imi vamwi ba shalondo bava pangwa ni vantu vamwi. Imi vamwi chevaka lyamusevezi wa muvuso we wulu. Iye yoo wola kutambula ituto atambule”
13 Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.
Linu vahwile zana nichi va letwa kwali ili kuti avike mayaza akwe hewulu lyavo niku valapelela. Kono balutwana vakwe nichi babakalimela.
14 "Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
Kono Jesu nati kuti, “kanji muva kanisa kwiza kwangu, kakuti muuso we wulu wa vantu va swana navo.”
15 So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.
Kuzwaho ni chava vika maza, ni chazwa havali.
16 But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
Mubone, mukwame wumwi cheza kwa Jesu ni chata kuti, “Muruti, chizi chilotu chini lukela ku tenda ili kuti niwane buhalo busamani?” (aiōnios g166)
17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Jesu chata kwali, “chizi hotenda kuti uni buza zintu zilukite? Yeke muntu njolukite, kono haiva usaka kwinjila mukati ka vuhalo, zwile habusu kubika itayelo.”
18 "Which commandments?" asked the man. Jesus replied. "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
Mukwame chamu vuza ni chati, “Njezihi itaelo?” Jesu ni chati, “Kanji wi hayii, kanji uvukii, kanji wivii, kanji upaki indaba za mapa,
19 "Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
uhe ikute venso niva nyoko, usake yo vambene naye sina moli molisakila.”
20 The young man answered. "I have carefully kept them all. What yet do I lack?"
Mutangana nata kwali, “Zose izo zintu niba zikuteki. Hape muni sakezi?”
21 "If you want to be perfect," said Jesus, "go, sell your property, give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
Jesu ni chati, “haiva usaka kuva yo maninize, yende, kauze zose zo kwete, uka zihe ba sukulukite, mi iwe move ni chifumu kwi wulu, kuzwaho zoni chilile,”
22 But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.
Mutngana chinga zuwa bulyo kwa Jesu, nayenda na swavite ahulu, kakuti abali nji zumwi ba vena mazimo achifumu.
23 So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesu ni chata kuva Lutwana vakwe, “ikumbya nimi wambila, ku kukutu ahulu ku muntu yo fumite kwi njila mu mubuso we wulu.
24 "I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Hape nimi wambila bu sakusima kuti, kuhuva Inkamele kwi njila che linso lye naliti kuhita mufumi kuti enjile mu mubuso we Ireeza.”
25 When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.
Linu valutwana ha zuwa bulyo, Linu chiva makala tota hava zuwa bulyo niku ta kuti, “Nji vani bente niva hazwe?”
26 "With men this is impossible," he said, "but with God all things are possible."
Jesu nicha ba lola niku ta kuti, “ku vantu kazi woleki, kwe Reeza zintu zonse ziwoleka.”
27 Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"
Linu Pitorosi niche tava nati, “mubone, tuva siyi zintu zose nitwa kwichilila. Linu kuzwaho mutu wane chituzi?”
28 "In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus answered, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesu nawamba ku vali nati, “Ikumbya nimi wambila, inwe muva chilili ime, muku zalwa chiha mwana mutu chake kala ha chihuna che kanya yakwe, nanwe bulyo mumu kekale hazi huna zina ikumi nizo vele, mukava vaatuli baka atula mishovo ina ikumi ni yovere ba mushobo wama Isilaele.
29 "And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall many times as much, and fall heir to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Wumwi ni wumwi yava siyi mazuvo, mizwale, bachizye, vesi, banyina, bana vakwe, mane ni mawa ke vaka lyangu, ka tambule zilukela kuva mwanda wi zwile niku wola buhalo busa mani. (aiōnios g166)
30 "But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.
Kono bangi bena kumatangilo muvave kuma maninizo, hape bangi vena kuma maninizo muvave ku matangilo.
