Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Ndipo Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhakahida kwa Yesu kuh'omela Yerusalemu. Ni kujobha,
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
“kwandabha j'ha kiki bhanafunzi bhikaghaharifu mapokelelu gha bhaseya? Kwa kuj'ha bhisamba lepi mabhokho gha bhene pa bhilya kyakulya.”
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Yesu akabhajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Namu kwa ndabha j'hakiki mukajhiharifu sheria j'ha Bwana kwa ndabha j'ha mapokelelu ghinu?
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Kwa kuj'ha K'yara ajobhili, 'Uniheshimuaghe dadij'hu ni ndebhuaku; na 'J'haijobha bhuovu kwa dadij'he ni ndebhuakhe, hakika ifwa.'
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Lakini muenga mwijobha, 'Khila j'haikombola dadij'he ni nyina, “'Kila msaada ambabho j'ha alondeghe kukabha kwa nene henu j'hibetakujha kuh'oma kwa K'yara,”'
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
“Munu oj'ho aj'helepi ni haja j'ha kun'heshimu dadij'he. Mu namna ej'he mulitenguili lilobhi lya K'yara kwa ndabha j'ha mapokelelu ghinu.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Enyi bhanafiki, ni vyema kama Isaya kyaatabiri juu j'ha muenga bho ajobhili,
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
'Bhanu abha bhakaniheshimu nene kwa milomo ghiabhu, lakini mioyo ghiabhu ghij'hele patali nani.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
Bhaakaniabudu bure, kwa ndabha bhifundisya mafundisu ghaghaj'hele malaghisu gha bhanadamu.”'
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Ndipo akabhakuta makutano ni kubhajobhela, “Mup'elekisiaghe ni kumanya
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Kij'helepi khenu kyakij'hingila mundomo mwa munu ni kumbomba najisi. Bali khela kyakih'oma mundomo, akebhai ndo najisi kwa munu.”
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Ndipo bhanafunzi bhakandotela ni kujobha ni Yesu, “Je!, Umanyili Mafarisayo bho bhalipheliki lilobhi lela bha dadili?”
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Yesu akabhajibu ni kujobha, “Khila mmea ambabho dadij'hangu ghwa mbinguni abhubhiele lepi bhwibeta kubhosibhwa.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Bhalekayi bhene, bhene bhalongosi fipofu. Kama munu kipofu akandongosya kipofu nyinu, bhoha bhabhele bhibetakudumbukila mu lilende.”
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Petro akajibu ni kun'jobhela Yesu,” Tuj'helesiaghe mfano obho kwa tete,
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Yesu akajibu, “Namu pia bado mwij'helebhwa lepi?
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
Muenga mumanyi lepi khila kyakhilota mundomo kup'etela mulileme ni kulota kuchoro?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Lakini fenu fyoha fyafihomela mundomo fihomela mugati mumuoyo. Ndivyo fenu fyafikampela munu bhunajisi.
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Kwa kuj'ha mu muoyo ghihoma mabhwasu mabhibhi, bhukomaji, bhuzinzi, bhuasherati, bhuheji, bhushuhuda bhwa bhudesi, ni malighu.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Agha ndo mambo gha ghakamp'ela munu bhunajisi. Lakini kulya bila kusamba mabhokho kukambomba lepi munu kuj'ha najisi.”
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Ndipo Yesu ibhoka mahala pala ni kwitenga kulotela pande sya miji ghya Tiro ni Sidoni.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Langai akahida n'dala Mkanani kuhomela lubhafu o'lu. Akakwesya sauti akajobha, “Unihurumilayi, Bwana, Mwana ghwa Daudi; binti j'hangu itesibhwa sana ni pepo.”
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Lakini Yesu an'jibilepi lilobhi. Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakahida bhakan'sihi, bhakaj'ha bhijobha, “M'mbosiaghe alotaghe o'khu, mana akatuj'hweghela tu apa.”
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Yesu akabhajibu ni kujobha, Nalaghisibhulepi kwa munu j'hej'hioha isipokuj'ha kwa kondoo bhabhaj'hangili mu nyumba j'ha Israeli.”
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Lakini akahida ni kuj'hinama mbele j'ha muene, akajobha, “Bwana nisaidilayi.”
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Akan'jibu ni kujobha, “Khinofu lepi kulota kyakulya kwa bhana ni kus'opela mabwa,”
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Akajobha, “Ena, Bwana, hata mabwa madebe ghilya kyakulya kyakibina pameza mwa Bwana ghwabhi.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Ndipo Yesu akajibu ni kujobha “N'dala, imani j'ha bhebhe m'baha. Na j'hibhombekaghe kwa bhebhe kama kyaghwilonda.” Ni binti ghwa muene amalikupontisibhwa bhwakati bhobhuobhu.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Yesu akabhoka mahala pala ni kulota karibu ni bahari j'ha Galilaya. Kisha akalota panani pa kid'onda ni kutama okhu.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Likundi libhaha kwa muene. Ni kundetela fiwete, fipofu, bubu, filema ni bhangi bhingi, bhabhaj'hele bhatamu. Bhabhakhili mu magholo gha Yesu na akabhaponya.
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
Nao bhumati bhukasyangala bho bhabhabhuene mabubu bhilongela, ni vilema bhakaj'ha bhasima, fiwete bhigenda, ni fipofu bhilola. Bhan'sifuili K'yara ghwa Israeli.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Yesu akabhakuta bhanafunzi bha muene ni kujobha, “'Nibhabhonili huruma bhumati, kwandabha bhaj'hele nani kwa magono madatu bila kilya khenu kyokioha khela. Nikabhalagha lepi bhalotayi kwa bhene bila kulya bhasije bhakazimila mu nj'hela.”
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'jobhela, “Ndaku twibhwesya kukabha mikate ghya kutosya apa pa nyika ghya kushibisha umati m'baha obho?”
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Muj'he ni mikate mil'enga?” Bhakajobha, “Saba, ni somba sidusu sudebe.”
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Yesu akabhaamuru bhumati bhutamaghe pasi.
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
Akaghileta mikate j'hela saba ni somba, ni baada j'ha kushukuru, akaj'himetula ni kubhapela bhanafunzi.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Bhanafunzi bhakabhap'hela bhumati. Bhanu bhoha bhakalya ni kutosheka. Na bhakabhonganya mabaki gha vipandi fya fyakulya fyafibakili fipandifipandi, fyamemili fikapu saba.
Bhoha bhabhalili bhaj'hele bhagosi elfu nne bila bhadala ni bhana.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Kisha Yesu akabhulagha bhumati bhakilotilayi na akaj'hingila mu mashua ni kulota sehemu sya Magadani.
