< Matthew 13 >

1 That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
Ikighono kila kila, uYesu akahuma mu nyumba jila, akaluta, akikala mulubale mu lisumbe.
2 such great crowds gathered around him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
Avaanhu vinga amapugha na mapugha vakaluta, vakakong'haana pa mwene, kuhanga akalamula pikwingila mu ngalava ikikala. Avaanhu vala vakiima kunji ku lisumbe.
3 Then he told them many truths in parables. “The sower,” he began, “went out to sow; and,
Pepano akavavuula si nyinga mu fihwanikisio akati, 'Unkesambeju jumonga alyalutile kukesa imbeju.
4 as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Ye ikesa, Imbeju jimonga jikaghua pa sila, injuni sikiisa, sikahola.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
Ijingi jikaghua pa linhalavue, jikamela ng'haning'haani. ulwakuva ilihanga lyale lidebe.
6 As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
ye jimelile ulujuva lukanyaanya, jikuuma, ulwakuva indela sikakunua kukwika paasi.
7 Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
Ijingi jikaghua pa malela gha madasia, jikamela, neke amadasia ye ghakafweta.
8 Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
Ijingi jikaghua pa lihanga ilinofu, jikamele, jukakula na kukoma vunono, jimo ifipeke kilundo, ijingi fijigho ntanda, ijingi fijigho filatu.
9 Let those who have ears hear.”
Unya kupulika, apulikaghe!”
10 Afterward his disciples came to him, and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Pepano avavulanusivua vaake vakaluata vakamposia vakati, 'Kiki ghujova na vaanhu mu fihwanikisio?
11 “To you,” answered Jesus, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
UYesu akavamula akati, 'Umue uNguluve avapeliile kukagula isa vusyefu uvwa vutwa vwa kukyanya, looli aveene navapelilue uluo.
12 For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
Ulwakuva umuunhu ghweni juno ali nu vakagusi vwimila uvutwa vwa Nguluve, ujuo ikwongelesivua. Looli juno nsila vakagusi uvuo, nambe uvukagusi uvudebe vuno ali navwo, ikunyua.
13 That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
Uluo lwe luno lukumhelela kujova navo mu fihwanikisio, ulwakuva vilola neke navikusivona, vipulikisia neke navipulika nambe kukusitang'hania.
14 In them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says – ‘You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
Isi sivombeka ku veene kukwilanisia sino um'bili uYesaya alyalembile kuuti,'Kupulika, mupulikagha neke namukusitang'haniagha. Kulola, mulolagha neke namukusivonagha.
15 for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.’
Ulwakuva avaanhu ava, vasiiti kukwitika. Vadindile imbulughutu saave, vadindile amasio ghaave. Vaale valeke uluo, amasio ghaave ghaale ghilolagha, imbulughutu saave saale sipulikaghe, nagha moojo ghaave ghaale ghikulutang'haniagha. Mu uluo vaale vikusyetukila une, na juune naale nikuvapoka.'
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
“Looli mufunyilue umue, ulwakuva amaso ghiinu ghilola nasi mbulughutu siinu sipulika.
17 for I tell you that many prophets and good people have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti kwevalyale avavili na vagholofu vinga vano valyale vilonda kukusivona sino mukusivona umue, neke navalyasivwene. Kange valyale vilonda kupulika sino mupulika umue, neke navalyasipuliika.”
18 “Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
“Lino, mupulikisie umuluvo ghwa kihwanikisio ikya nkesambeju,
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
Pa sila pano imbeju jilyaghwile, ghwe muunhu juno ipuluka ilisio lya vutwa vwa Nguluve neke naikulitang'hania, uMhosi uSetano ikwisa na kutoola kino kivyalilue ghwe munkate mu mwojo ghwake.
20 By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
Pa linhalavue, pano imbeju jilyaghwile ghwe muunhu juno ipuluka ilisio lya Nguluve, insiki ughuo ikulyupila nu lukeelo.
21 but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
Neke ulwakuva ilisio lila lisila ndela mu mwojo ghwake, igadilila unsiki n'debe, lungavoneke ulutalamu lumonga, nambe isa kumpumusia vwimila ilisio lya Nguluve, neke nakikomaifipeke. unsiki ghughuo ye ikululekagha ulwitiko.
22 By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person who hears the message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
Pa madasia pano imbeju jilyaghwile ghwe muunhu juno ipulika ilisio lya Nguluve, neke imbombo sa mu iisi, kuyasuka vwimila uvukavi vwa kyuma fifweta ilisio, neke nalikoma ifipeke, (aiōn g165)
23 But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.”
Looli pa lihanga ilinofu pano imbeju jilyaghwile, ghwe muunhu juno ipulika ilisio lya Nguluve na kukulitang'hania. Ujuo ghwe juno ikoma ifipeke kilundo, ujunge fijigho ntanda, ujunge fijigho filatu”
24 Another parable which Jesus told them was this – “The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
UYesu akavavuula ikihwanikisio ikingi akati, “uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuhwaniine nu muunhu juno alyavyalile ingano mu mughunda ghwake.
25 But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
Neke pakila avaanhu vooni ye vighoni, umulugu ghwake akiisa akavyala ilisoli mu ngano, akavuuka iluta.
26 So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
Pambele fyoni fikamela. Ingano yajipongola, ilisoli likatengula pikuvonesia.
27 The owner’s servants came to them, and said ‘Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?’
Avavombi va muunhu jula unya mughunda vakaluta kukumposia vakati, 'Ghwe ntwa, tukaghwile kuuti ukanyalile ingano mu mughunda ghwako, lino ilisio lila lihumile kuughi?'
28 ‘An enemy has done this,’ was the owner’s answer. ‘Do you wish us, then,’ they asked, ‘to go and gather them together?’
Umwene akavamula akati, “Umulugu ghwe juno avombile uluo. Avavombi vaake vakamposia vakati, 'Ghulonda tulute tukakulule ilisio ilio/
29 ‘No,’ said he, ‘because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
Umwene akati, 'ndali namungakululaghe, ulwakuva pano mukulula ilisoli ndepoonu mukulula naji ngano.
30 Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.’”
Muleke fyoni fikulaghe palikimo kuhanga unsiki ghwa kubena. Unsiki ughuo, nilikuvavuula vano vibena kuuti vakong'haniaghe taasi ilisoli na kupinya ifinyagha kuuti finyanyue. Neke ingano vakong'hanie na kuvuta mu kihenge kyango.
31 Another parable which he told them was this – “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
UYesu akavavuuka kihwanikisio ikingi akati, 'Uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuhwanine n mbeju indebe fiijo, jino umuunhu jumonga alyatolile na kuvyala mu mughunda ghwake.
32 This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that ‘the wild birds come and roost in its branches.’”
Napano imbeju ijio ndebe kukila sooni, jingamele, ghuuva mmela nkome kukila amamela ghooni agha nyafu. Ghukula ghuuva mpiki, nasi njuni sitenga ifivwasu mu nhaafi saake.”
33 This was another parable which Jesus related – “The kingdom of heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
UYesu akavavuula ikihwanikisio ikingi akati, 'Uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuhwaniine ni kilule kino umukijuuva jumonga alyatolile, akakandila ilikandua ilya mateneka ghatatu agha vutine. Ye akandile, ikilule kia kikalusia ilikandua lyoni.'
34 Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
UYesu alyavavulile avaanhu isio sooni mu fihwanikisio. Naakajovagha kimonga ku veene kisila kihwanikisio.
35 in fulfillment of these words in the prophet – ‘I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.’
Akavombagha uluo kukwilanisia ilisio lino alyajovile um'bili kuuti, “Nijovagha na vaanhu mu fihwanikisio. nikuvavulagha sino sifisiime kuhuma Nguluve ipela iisi.”
36 Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
pambele uYesu akahwesia ilipugha lila, akingila mu nyumba. Avavulanisivua vaake vakaluta pa mwene, vakajova vakati, 'Utuvuule umuluvo ghwa kihwanikisio kila ikya lisoli mu mughunda ghwa ngano.'
37 He answered, “The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Unyakukesa ingano ghwe Mwana ghwa Muunhu.
38 The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
Umughunda je iisi, ingano ve vaanhu vano vali mu vutwavwa Nguluve, neke ilisoli ve vaanhu ava Mhosi jula.
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
Umulugu juno akavyalile ilisoli, ghwe setano. Unsiki ughwa kubena kye kighono kya vusililo vwa iisi, vano vibena ve vanyamhola. (aiōn g165)
40 And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
Lino, ndavule ilisoli vule likong'hanisivua na kunyanyua pa mwoto, fye luliiva ikighono ikya vusililo vwa iisi. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
Une ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nilisuung'ha avanyamhola vango. vavakong'hanie avaanhu vooni mu vutwa vwango vano vipelela avange kuvomba uvuhosi na vano vivomba uvuhosi.
42 and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Avanyamhola vilililagha avaanhu avuo mu mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. Ukuo kwe vilililagha na kugwegwenula aminio ulwakuva vali mu vuvafi uvukome.
43 Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
Pe avagholofu vilivalatikagha mu vutwa vwa Nhaata ghwave ndavule ilijuva. Unya kupulika, apulikaghe.
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
“Uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli ndavule ikiinu ikya ndalama nyinga kino kilyafisilue mu mughunda. Neke umuunhu jumonga akakyagha, akafisa vunono. pepano akaluta nu lukeelo kughusia ifiinu fyoni fino alyale nafyo, akaghula umughunda ghula.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
Kange, uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli ndavule umughusia fiinu jumonga juno akalondagha ilulu jino jaale ja ndalama nyingi.
46 Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
Ye ajaghile ilulu ijio, akaluta kughusia ifiinu fyoni fino alyale nafyo fino alyale nafyo, akaghula.
47 Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
“Kange, uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli ndavule ulwafu luno avalovi va samaki vakisise mu nyanja. Mu lwafu uvuo sikaghilila isamaki sino sili papinga.
48 When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
Neke ulwafu ye lumemile, avalovi vakakwesela kunji ku nyanja. Pe vakikala paasi, vakakong'hania, isamaki inofu sino vavilia, vakaviika mu fisenje, neke isamaki sino navavilia, vakataagha.
49 So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Fye luliiva ikighono ikya vusililo vwa iisi. Avanyamhola va Nguluve vilikwisa, vilikuvabaghula, avahosi viliiva paajo na vagholofu. (aiōn g165)
50 and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Avanyamhola avuo vilikuvataagha avahosi ku mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. Ukuo kwe vilililagha na kugwegwenula amiino ulwakuva vali mu vuvafi uvukome.”
51 “Have you understood all this?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they answered.
pepano uyesu akavaposia avavulanisivua vaake akati, 'Asi, musitang'hinie sooni isio sino nivavulile? Aveeni vakamule vakati, “Enena, tusitang'hini.”
52 Then he added, “So every teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.”
Pe akavavuula akati, “Lino, um'bulanisi ghwa ndaghilo sa moose juno m'bulanisivua mu vutwavwa kunkyanya, ali ndavule unya nyumba juno ivutula mu kihenge kyake ifiinu ifipia ni fikuulu.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
Uyesu ye amalile kujova ifihwanikisio ifio, akavuuka pala,
54 Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this wisdom?” they said, “and the miracles?
akaluta ku kikaaja kyake. Ukuo akatengula kuvulanisia avaanhu mu sinagogi jaave. Avaanhu vala vakadekha, vakaposania viiti, “Umuunhu uju avwaghile kuughi uvukagusi uvu ni ngufu isa kuvomba ifidegho ifi?
55 Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Asi, uju naghwe mwana ghwa mpululambavo? Ung'ina naghwe juno itambulua Maliya? Nava vanuuna vaake naghwe Yakovo, u Yosefu, u Simoni nu Yuuda?
56 And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?”
Asi, avalumbu nave vano tukukalania pa kikaaja apa? Lino, umwene asaghile kuughi sooni isi?”
57 These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
Mu uluo vakakaana kukumwitika. Pe uYesu akavavuula akati, “Um'bili mwoghopua imbale sooni, ulwene naikwoghopua na vaanhu ava mu kikaaja kyake na mu nyumba jaake.”
58 He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
Ulwakuva avaanhu vala navalya mwitiike, uYesu naakavomba ifidegho finga kula.
