Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
Kulunaku olwo Yesu asokele ika najokwinyanja kunchechekela yo mwalo.
2 and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
Ebhise bhyamfu bhya bhanu nibhimwiinda, nengila mubhwato nenyanja omwo. echise cha bhanu bhona nibhemelegulu kunchechekela yo mwalo.
3 He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
Yesu naika nabho magambo mamfu kwe bhijejekanyo, Naikati,”Lola omuyambi agendele okuyamba.
4 As he was scattering [them over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
Anu aliga nayamba ebhiyambwa ebhindi nibhigwa eyeyi nakunjila jinyonyi nijija nijijilya.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
Ebhiyambwa ebhindi nibhigwa ingulu ya litale, ao jitabhwene mayalu go kujiya. Ao na o nijisebhuka kulwokubha amayalu galiga galimatilu.
6 But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
Nawe lisubha lyejile okusokayo nilijocha kulwokubha jitabhaga na misi, nijuma.
7 Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
Ebhiyambwa ebhindi nibhigwa agati ya amati gamawa. Amati gamawa nigaleya ingulu nigajifundilisha.
8 [But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
Ebhiyambwa ebhindi nibhigwa mumayalu gakisi nijibhula ebhiyambwa, ejindi okusaga egana, ejindi makumi mukaga nejindi makumi gasatu.
9 If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
Unu ali nokutwi kwo kungwa nongwe.
10 [We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
Abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamujako nibhamubhwila Yesu ati, “Kulwaki ouloma nebhise kwe bhijejekanyo?”
11 He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
Yesu nabhasubhya naikati, Muyanibhwe echibhalo chokumenya imbisike yo bhukama bhwa mulwile, nawe abhene bhatayanilwe.
12 Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
Nawe wona wona unu anacho, omwene kongesibhwa kukila echo, na kabhona amatundo manene. Nawe unu atanacho nolo chinu anacho katesibhwa.
13 That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
Kulwejo eniloma nabho kwebhijejekanyo kulwokubha nolo abhalola, bhatalola echimali. Nolo kutyo abhongwa bhataja kungwa na kumenya.
14 What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
Obhulagi bhwa Isaya bhukumiye kubhene, bhunu obhwaikati, “Mulongwaga mungwe, nawe kwansonga yona yona mtakusombokelwa; omwanya gunu omulola mubhone okulola, nawe kwa nsonga yona yona musige kumenya.
15 [God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
Ne emioyo ja bhanu bhanu jabhee chisute, jikomee okungwa, nabhaongelesishe ameso gebhwe, koleleki bhasige okulola kwa meso gebhwe, au okungwa kwa matwi gebhwe, nolo kumenya kwe mioyo jebhwe, kulwejo bhakanyindukiye anye lindi, nakabhaosishe.'
16 But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
Kulwejo ameso gemwe gabhonekewe, kulwokubha agalola, na matwi gemwe kubha agongwa.
17 Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
Echimali enibhabhwila abhalagi bhamfu na bhanu bhalengelesi bhaliga nibhesigombela okugalola amagambo ganu omulola emwe, na bhatatulile kugalola. Bhesigombelaga okungwa amagambo ganu omungwa, bhatagonguhye.
18 “[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
Oli mutegeleshe echijejekanyo cho muyambi.
19 The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
Omwanya gunu wona wona unu kongwa omusango gwo bhukama nalema okulimenya, niwo omusoko kaja nokumusakula chinu chiyambilwe munda yo mwoyo gwae. Chinu nichiyambwa chinu chayambilwe ayeyi na injila.
20 [Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
Unu ayambilwe kulutale ni unu onguhye omusango nagulamila kwo kukondelelwa.
21 [But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
Achali kubha namisi munda yae, tali kekomesha kwo mwanya mufui. Omwanya gunu okunyansibhwa kukaja kulwomusango kekujula ao nao.
22 [Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
Unu ayambilwe agati ya mati gamawa, unu niunu kongwa omusango nawe jinyako ja kuchalo nokujigwa no bhunibhi obhulinyasha ligambo elyo litaja kwibhula matwasho. (aiōn g165)
23 But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
Unu ayambilwe mumayalu ga kisi, unu ni unu kongwa emisango nokujisombokelwa. Unu niwe kebhula amatwasho no kugendelela okwibhula okukila egana ejindi makumi mukaga, ejindi makumi gasatu”
24 Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
Mbe, Yesu nabhayana echijejekanyo echindi. Naikati, “Obhukama bhwa mulwile obhususanisibhwa no munu unu ayambile imbibho ya kiss mwisambu lyae.
25 While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
Nawe abhanu bhejile okuongela, omusoko wae naja ona nayamba amagologolo agati ya jingano neya nagenda jae.
26 After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
Omwanya gwejile gwalabhao jingano jejile omele nijamba okusosha amatwasho gajo, niwo na magologolo ona nigabhonekana ona.
27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
Abhakosi bha kanya esamba nibhaja nibhamubhwila ati,'Ratabhugenyi, utayambile jimbibho jakisi mwibhwi lyao? Jabhakutiki woli lina amagologolo?
28 The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
Nabhabhwila ati, Omusoko niwe akola kutyo.'Abhakosi nibhamubhwila ati, “Kulwejo owenda chigende chijogakula?”
29 He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
Owalibhwi naikati, 'Payi, omwanya gunu omugakula amagologolo omutula okukula na ingano.
30 Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
Mugasige gakulile amwi okukinga mwigesa. Omwanya gwa ligesa enaika kubhagesi ati, 'Mwambe okukula amagologolo mugabhoye mafuta mafuta mugoche, nawe mukumanye ingano muchitala chani.””
31 Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
Neya Yesu nabhasosisha echijejekanyo echindi. Naikati, “Obhukama bhwa mulwile obhususana imbibho ya iyaladali inu omunu agegele nayiyamba mwibhwi lyae.
32 Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
Imbibho inu kuchimali ninoto okukila jimbibho ejindi jona. Nawe ikamela eibha nene okukila jona mumugunda, elibha eti, na jinyonyi ja mulutumba njijogwako nijumbakako amasuli ku matabhi galyo.”
33 Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Nabhabhwila echijejekanyo echindi lindi. “Obhukama bhwa mulwile bhuli kuti chifwibhya inu yagegibhwe no mugasi naisasha kundengo esatu munshano okukinga jifwimbe.
34 Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
Ago gona Yesu agaiikile muchise cha bhanu kwe bhijejekanyo. Bila bhijejekanyo ataikile nabho chonachona.
35 By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
Inu aliga ilikutya chinu chaliga chamalilwe okwaikwa okulabhila kumulagi chibhone okukumila, anu aikile,”Enifumbula omunwa gwani kwe bhijejekanyo. Nilyaika amagambo ganu galiga gaselekelwe kubhwambilo bhwo bhumogi bhwe Chalo.”
36 After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
Neya Yesu nasiga ebhise bya bhanu nagenda ika. Abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamujako nibhaikati,”Chisombolele echijejekanyo cho mwata mwibhwi.”
37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
Yesu nabhasubhya naikati,”Unu kayamba jimbibho Jo bhwana Ni Mwana wa Adamu.
38 The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
Libhwi ni chalo; na jimbibho je kisi, bhanu ni bhana bho bhukama. Omwata ni bhana bho omusoko, no musoko unu ajiyambile ni nyakusheta
39 The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
. Okugesa ni bhutelo bhwe chalo, na abhagesi ni bhamalaika. (aiōn g165)
40 The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
Lwakutyo omwata ogukumanywa nokwochibhwa no mulilo, kutyo nikwo kulibha kubhutelo bhwe chalo. (aiōn g165)
41 I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
Omwana wa Adamu alibhalagilila bhamalaika bhae, okukumanya okusoka mubhukama bhwa amagambo gona ganu galetelee Ebhibhibhi na bhanu abhakola obhugayuke.
42 They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
Bhalibhesa bhona muchoto cho mulilo, omwo chili echililo no kuguguna ameno.
43 [God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
Niwo abhanu abhalengelesi bhalilabhyangila lwa lisubha mubhukama bhwa Esemwene webhwe. Unu ali no kutwi kwo kungwa nongwe.
44 “[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
Obhukama bhwa mulwile obhususana no bhunibhi bhunu bhuselekelwe mwisambu. Omunu umwi ailolele naiseleka. Mubhukondelewe bhwae nagenda nagusha bhyona bhinu aliga alinabhyo, nagula lisambu.
45 Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
Lindi, obhukama bhwa mulwile nikama omunu unu kakana ebhyashala unu kayenja ilulu ya mpilya nyamfu.
46 When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
Omwanya gunu aibhwene eyo eyampilya nyafu, ajiye okugusha bhuli chinu chinu aliga anacho najoigula.
47 What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
Obhukama bhwa mulwile ni kuti mutego gunu guli mumanji, no ogukoma bhuli bhiyangwa bya bhuli mbaga.
48 When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
Lyejile lyejula abhategi nibhagukulula kuchalo. Nibheya nibheyanja ansi nibhakumanya ebhinu bhye kisi mubhinu, nabhinu bhitabhaga bhya bhwana nibhyeswa kula.
49 [What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
Jilibha kutyo kubhutelo bhwe chalo. Bhamalaika bhalija nibhabhaula abhanu abhajabhi okusoka agati ya bhanu abhalengelesi. (aiōn g165)
50 They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
No kubhesa muchoto chomulilo, munu kuli okulila no okuguguna ameno.
51 [Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
Mwasombokelwa amagambo goa ganu? Abheigisibhwa nibhamusubhya ati, “Yee.”
52 “Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
Neya Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Bhuli mwandiki unu aliga ali mwiigisibhwa wo Mukama kasusana na kanya nyumba unu kasosha mwibhikilo lyae ebhinu ebhiyaya nebhyakala.”.
53 When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
Yesu ejile akamala ebhijejekanyo ebhyo bhyona, nasokao kulubhala olwo.
54 We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
Neya Yesu nakinga mumukowa gwae neigisha abhanu mumekofyanyisho. Jibhonekana abhanu nibhalugula nibhaikati, “Naki anu omunu unu abhwene obhwengeso bhunu ne ebhilugusho bhinu?
55 (He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
Omunu unu atali omwana wo mufundi? Maliyamu atali nyilamwene? Na abhamula bhabho atali, Yakobho, Yusufu, Simoni, na Yuda?
56 (And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
Na abhayala bhabho chitekaye nabho anu? Basi omunu unu agabhwene aki ganu gona?”
57 The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
Nabhabhiilisha. Nawe Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Omulagi atakubhulwa chibhalo tali ewabho na muchalo chabho.
58 Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
Atakolele bhijejekanyo bhyamfu kulwokubha bhatabhee na likilisha nage.
