Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Vu UYesununsiekhe ghula wamaliele amamenyu agho, akhahajha khu Galilaya, akhaluta khumakha incha Vayahudi khumwambo khulughasi ulwa khu Yolodani.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Avanu avinghi pwu vakhankhonga, navophe akhavaphonia.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Avafalisayo vakhandutila, vakhagheda, vakhambula, “Nda yivo lweli umunu ukhundekha undhala uvamwene khu khila nonghwa?
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
UYesu ankhavandha akhata, samwimbile unkhuta umwene uvavumbiwe uviatlile, avumbiwe umunu ughosi nu munu undhala?
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
Hanghe akhanchova, khululaghielo ulwa umunu, alandhekha udadaye nu vanina vamwene pwu vivinchagha pwu paninie nuo ndhala, vamwene, vuvavieli pwu vivie nchagha umbieli ghumo.
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Pwu hanghe savivinchagha vanu vavieli, pwu vivienchagha umbielie ghumo. Uvuavalunghaninche UNguluve, umunu alekhaghe ukhuvalughulula.
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Vakhambula vakhata, pwu nchiva ndakhikhi UMusa avavuli ukhuta vavaphinchaghe avanu eibalula iyakhulekhehana?
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Akhavula akhata, “Khunumba ncheinyo inchietu uMusa akhavatavula ukhuvalekha avadhala vienyo ulwakhuva ukhuma khuvutenghulilo vusanchale ewo.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Une nikhuwavula umwe, khila munu yuywa akhiva iekhundhekha undhala vamwene khunongwa ieyavulighu, nukhutola undhata uyunghe, aligwiphe, vope uvieikhintola uvialekhiwe iva iendhighu.
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Avankhonghi vakhambula UYesu vankhata ienava imbombo ncha munu nu ndhala vamwene nchinghave ewo, pusaphilondhiwa ukhutola.
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Ulwakhuva umwene akhavavula, awanu voni saviewesya uliyuophielila eilimenyu eilie; aphanghe khuvala aviwesya.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Ulwakhuva khuvale uwatowashi vavo vaholiwe ewo ukhuma mumatumbunghavavaninavo. Hanghe khuvale avatowashi avavombiwe ukhuva vatowashi avivikhile ukhuva vatowashi khu nonghwa iyaludeva ulwa khukyanya.
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Vakhandetela avana avadhebe avavikhile amavokho pamitwe gyavene ukhuta avadhove, avankhongi vamwene vakhavadhukha.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Hanghe UYesu akhanchova akhata, mvalekhe avana avadhebe vinchanghe khulyune, mulekhe. Ukhuvabencha, ulwakhu avakhwanine uludedheva ulwakhukyanya lwa veene.
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
AKhaviekha amavokho ghumwene pakyanya pavene, akhahegha apho.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Pwu umunu yuomo akhandhutila akhambula akhata, Imanyise, nievombo eikhinu eikhikhi eikhienuno, pwu niekhave uludheva ulwa khukyanya? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Akhambula akhata, khikhi vukhumbuncha inongwa incha vunonu? unonu alieyumo. Hanghe unghanoghwe ukwinghiela khuwumi ulwaakhukyanya, unchinkhonghe iendaghielo.
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Akahambula, “chiliekhu?” UYesu akhanchova akhata, ienchi, “ulabudhagha, ulalighupagha, ulahienchagha, ulanchova uvudhesi.
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
Uvadwadaghe avadada vakho nayuvanina vakho, hanghe unghane uvaphawiphi phalyuve nduvu wieghanile yuove”
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Udhiemi uola akhambula, Nchoni ienchi neinchibhiete, khinu khieikhi eikhienghe khiekyo nielinivule?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
UYesu akhambula, unghanoghwe ukhuva mwiedhiekhi, ulutaghe ukhaghunche fifyo ulienafyo, ukhavaphe avaghanchu, uve pwu wieva niekhiebana khukyanya, pwu wienche ung'onghe.
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Udhiemi uola aviele aphulikhe eilimenyulu lila akhahegha pale khuno aviephiele, ulwakhuva ale niekyama khinghi.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
UYesu akhavavula avankongi avankhonghi vamwene, mwidhikhaghe, nikhuvavula, khulava khupla akhatayieli ukhwinghile khuludheva ulwa khukyanya.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Hanghe nikhuvavula nita piva padhekhe dhekhe ukhulutieliela einghamiela ukhughenda pandyangho ugwa sindhano. Nduo untayieli ukwienghida khuludheva ulwa khwa Nghuluve.”
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Avankhonghi vamwene vuviephuliekha, valiekhudhegha eino, valikhunchova, vievrni hanghe yuywa iephona?
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
UYesu akhavalola akhanchova, khuvanu eilyo calienkhonghiwa, khwa Nghuluve nchoni nchivombekha.
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Pwu uPeteli akhandha, akhambula, “Lola ufwe tufu toufilekhe fyoni tukhunkhonghile uve. Pwutwikhava khikhi khumbe?
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
UYesu akhavavula akhata, mwiedhikhe, nikhuvavula ukhuta umwe yumwe mung'onghile uone, mukhilungha eikhiegheni, upwalava ietama u Mwana va Adamu pha khighoda eikyanitwa utwa mwene, nujyumwe pwu mulantama pafighoda kheinchigho niefiviele, pwumuhieghagha ifikholo khienchigho niefiviele ifya Islaeli.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Khila munu uvyayielekhile einyumba, apanghe ulukhololwe udhiemi, aphanghe udhala, aphanghe udadaye, aphanghe uvanina, aphanghe avana, aphanghe iefyalo, khulitawa eilyangho, pwu iekwupielagha mala miamoja, nukhunchitama khuwumi vuwa savulasila lusikhu. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
