Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea,
Ndaŵi jijojo, Che Yesu ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jila, ŵajawile kukutama mungulugulu litanda.
2 and large crowds gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat down, while the entire crowd stood on the shore.
Mipingo jajikulungwa ja ŵandu jansyungwile nipele ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama. Ŵandu wose ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda,
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow.
nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile indu yejinji kwa itagu, achitiji, “Mpilikane! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
“Paŵaliji nkumisa mbeju, sine syapatuchile mungulugulu matala ga mmigunda, nipele yaiche ijuni ni kusimila.
5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up immediately because they had no depth of soil.
Sine syapatuchile mmaganga pangali litaka lyejinji. Syawoneche simesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyaliji kanandi.
6 But when the sun rose, they were scorched. And because they had no root, they withered away.
Nipele, lyuŵa palyaŵasile syatiniche ligongo michiga jakwe jaliji nganijijinjilisya paasi, syajumwile.
7 Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
Sine syapatuchile pa miiŵa, nombe miiŵa jo jamesile ni kusiŵijikanya.
8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times more than what was sown.
Sine syapatuchile pa litaka lya chajila, syamesile, ni kusogola, sine mia moja, sine sitini ni sine selasini.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Jwakwete mapilikanilo ga kupilikanila, apilikane!”
10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do yoʋ speak to the people in parables?”
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao Che Yesu ŵajaulile ni kwausya kuti, “Ana ligongo chi nkuŵecheta ni ŵandu kwa itagu?”
11 Jesus answered them, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe ukombole wa kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa kwinani nambo ŵanewo nganapegwa.
12 For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chapegwe ni kujonjecheswa, nambo jwele jwanganakola chindu, atamuno chele chakwete cho chasumulwe.
13 That is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they see but do not perceive, and they hear but do not listen or understand.’
Kwa ligongo lyo nguŵecheta nawo kwa itagu, pakuŵa akulola nambo ngakulola, akupilikana nambo ngakupilikanichisya atamuno ngakumanyilila.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, ‘Yoʋ will hear but never understand, and you will see but never perceive.
Kwa ŵelewo gamalile agala maloŵe gaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti: ‘Kupilikana chimpilikane nambo ngammanyilila. Kulola chinlolechesye nambo ngammona.
15 For the heart of this people has become calloused; with their ears they have barely heard, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would 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 because they see, and your ears because they hear.
“Nambo nkwete upile ŵanyamwe pakuŵa meeso genu gakulola ni mapilikanilo genu gakupilikana.
17 For truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear 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 “So hear what the parable of the sower means:
“Nipele, ŵanyamwe mpilikane malumbo ga achi chitagu cha jwakupanda chi.
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
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 The seed sown on rocky ground is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile mmaganga, sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulipochela kwa unonyelo.
21 Yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately falls away.
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 The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes 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 the seed sown on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who bears fruit and produces a hundred, sixty, or thirty times more than what was sown.”
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 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a person who 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 people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and then went away.
Nambo ŵandu paŵaliji agonile, ŵaiche jwammagongo jwakwe, ŵapandile masindi mwepande ngano, ni kutyoka.
26 When the plants sprouted and produced grain, the tares also appeared.
Nipele, pasyamesile mbeju ni kutanda kusogola ni masindi gatandite kuwoneka.
27 So the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did yoʋ not sow good seed in yoʋr field? How then does it have tares?’
Achikapolo ŵa asyene ngunda ŵaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, ngati mwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda mwenu? Sambano gatyochele kwapi masindi?’
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Do yoʋ want us to go and gather them up?’
Nipele ŵatite, ‘Jwammagongo ni jwatesile yeleyo.’ Nipele, achikapolo wakwe ŵaausisye, ‘Uli, nkusaka tujaule tukagatupule?’
29 He said, ‘No, lest in gathering the tares you uproot the wheat with them.
Nombejo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngwamba, pachintupule masindi, pane chinkatupule pamo ni ngano.
30 Let them both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “Gather the tares first and bind them into bundles to burn them up, 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 He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that 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 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, it grows larger than the other garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
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 He spoke to them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been 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 Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables; he did not speak to them without using a parable.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu yose kwa itagu. Ni pangali chitagu nganiŵasalila chachili chose.
35 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things hidden 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 left the crowds and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to 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 So he said to them in response, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakupanda mbeju syambone ni Mwana jwa Mundu.
38 The field is the world, and the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. The tares are the sons of the evil 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 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
Nombe jwammagongo jwapandile masindi ali Shetani. Magungulo gali mbesi ja chilambo chino, nombe ŵakugungula ali achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. (aiōn g165)
40 Therefore, just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
Mpela ila masindi igakuti pakusonganganywa ni kutinisya, iyoyo ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all stumbling blocks and those who practice lawlessness.
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 They will throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo chiŵaponye ŵandu pa litanuli lya mooto wakalipa ni kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has 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 a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and in his joy he went and sold all that he had and bought the 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 a merchant seeking fine pearls.
“Sooni, umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwakusumisya malonda achisosaga igogo yambone.
46 When he found one pearl of great price, he 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 a dragnet that was cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish.
“Sooni, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni lwau lwauponyekwe mu litanda, lwatanjile somba syasili syose.
48 When it was full, the fishermen drew it to shore. Then they sat down and put the good fish into containers, but the bad ones they threw away.
Lwau palwagumbele, ŵakukoka somba ŵaluutile kumbwani, ŵatemi kusagula somba syambone ni kusitaga mu itundu yao ni somba syangalumbana ŵasijasile.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous (aiōn g165)
Yeleyi ni ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino, achikatumetume ŵa kwinani chachikopochela, chiŵalekanganye ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana. (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Nombe ŵele ŵangalumbana wo chiŵajasile pa litanuli lya mooto. Kweleko chachilila ni kuchilimya meeno.”
51 Jesus said to them, “Do you understand all these things?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana gele gose ga nkugamanyilila?” Ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
52 Then he said to them, “Every scribe that has been trained as a disciple for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who brings 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 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yele itagu yo, ŵatyosile pelepo,
54 Then he went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?
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 this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother's name Mary, and are not his brothers James, Joses, 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 Are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Achalumbugwe wose ngati ali pamo ni uweji? Nambi ajuju apatile kwapi aga gose ga?”
57 And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
Nipele, nganiŵakunda. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa nambo ngaakuchimbichikwa mu chilambo chakwe ni mu nyuumba jakwe!”
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
Kwa ligongo lyo, nganatenda yakusimonjeka yaijinji ligongo lya ungali chikulupi wao.
