Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Iye atatsika ku phiri kuja, anthu ambirimbiri anamutsata.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Ndipo munthu wakhate anadza kwa Yesu namugwadira nati, “Ambuye, ngati mufuna, mukhoza kundiyeretsa.”
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Yesu anatambasula dzanja lake namukhudza munthuyo nati, “Ndikufuna, yeretsedwa!” Nthawi yomweyo anachiritsidwa khate lake.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Ndipo Yesu anati kwa iye, “Taona, usawuze wina aliyense. Koma upite kwa mkulu wa ansembe ukadzionetse wekha ndi kupereka mphatso imene Mose analamulira, kuti ukhale umboni kwa iwo.”
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Yesu atalowa mʼKaperenamu, Kenturiyo anabwera kwa Iye napempha chithandizo,
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
nati, “Ambuye, wantchito wanga ali chigonere ku nyumba, sakuthanso kuyenda, akumva kuwawa kwambiri.”
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Ndipo Yesu anati kwa iye, “Ine ndibwera kudzamuchiritsa.”
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Kenturiyo uja anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ndine wosayenera kuti Inu mukalowe mʼnyumba mwanga. Koma mungonena mawu ndipo wantchito wanga adzachiritsidwa.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Pakuti inenso ndili pansi pa ulamuliro ndipo ndili ndi asilikali amene ndiwalamulira. Ndikalamulira mmodzi kuti, ‘Pita,’ amapita; ndi kwa wina kuti, ‘Bwera,’ amabwera. Ndikawuza wantchito wanga kuti, ‘Chita ichi,’ iye amachita.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Yesu atamva zimenezi, anadabwa ndipo anati kwa omutsatira, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti sindinapeze wina aliyense mu Israeli wachikhulupiriro chachikulu chotere.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Ndikuwuzani kuti ambiri adzabwera kuchokera kummawa ndi kumadzulo, nadzakhala nawo pa phwando pamodzi ndi Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo mu ufumu wakumwamba.
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
Koma eni ake ufumuwo adzaponyedwa ku mdima wakunja kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.”
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa Kenturiyo, “Pita! Zichitike monga momwe wakhulupirira.” Ndipo wantchito wake anachira pa nthawi yomweyo.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Ndipo Yesu atalowa mʼnyumba ya Petro, anaona mpongozi wake wa Petro ali gone akudwala malungo.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Ndipo Yesu anakhudza dzanja lake ndipo pomwepo anachira nayamba kumutumikira.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Itafika nthawi yamadzulo, anthu anabweretsa kwa Iye anthu ambiri ogwidwa ndi ziwanda ndipo anatulutsa ziwandazo ndi mawu okha, nachiritsa odwala onse.
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
Uku kunali kukwaniritsa zimene ananena mneneri Yesaya kuti, “Iye anatenga zofowoka zathu, nanyamula nthenda zathu.”
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Yesu ataona gulu la anthu litamuzungulira, analamula kuti awolokere kutsidya lina la nyanja.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Ndipo mphunzitsi wa malamulo anabwera kwa Iye nati, “Aphunzitsi, ine ndidzakutsatani kulikonse kumene muzipita.”
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Nkhandwe zili ndi mapanga ndi mbalame zamlengalenga zili ndi zisa, koma Mwana wa Munthu alibe malo ogona ngakhale potsamira mutu wake.”
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Wophunzira wina anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, mundilole ndiyambe ndakayika maliro a abambo anga.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Koma Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Nditsate Ine ndipo uwaleke akufa ayikane akufa okhaokha.”
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Iye atalowa mʼbwato, ophunzira ake anamutsatira.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Ndipo taonani mwadzidzidzi mphepo yayikulu yamkuntho inawomba pa nyanjapo, kotero kuti bwatolo linayamba kumizidwa ndi mafunde. Koma Yesu anali mtulo.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Ophunzira ake anapita namudzutsa nati, “Ambuye! Tipulumutseni! Tikumira!”
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Iye anawayankha kuti, “Inu achikhulupiriro chochepa, chifukwa chiyani mukuchita mantha?” Ndipo anayimirira nadzudzula mphepoyo ndi mafunde ndipo panali bata lalikulu.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Ndipo ophunzirawo anadabwa nafunsa kuti, “Ndi munthu wotani uyu? Kuti ngakhale mphepo ndi mafunde zimvera Iye!”
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Ndipo atafika ku mbali ina ya dera la Gadara, anakumana ndi anthu awiri ogwidwa ndi ziwanda akuchokera ku manda. Iwowa anali woopsa kwambiri kotero kuti panalibe munthu akanatha kudzera njira imeneyo.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Ndipo iwo anafuwulira kwa Yesu nati, “Mukufuna chiyani kwa ife, Inu Mwana wa Mulungu? Kodi mwabwera kuno kudzatizunza nthawi yake isanafike?”
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Ndipo patali pake panali gulu la nkhumba zimene zimadya.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Ndipo ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti, “Ngati mutitulutsa ife mutitumize mu nkhumba izo.”
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Iye anati kwa ziwandazo, “Pitani!” Ndipo pamenepo zinatuluka ndi kukalowa mʼnkhumbazo ndipo nkhumba zonse zinathamangira mʼnyanja ndi kufera momwemo.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Koma amene amaziweta anathawa nalowa mʼmudzi nafotokoza zonse, kuphatikizapo zimene zinachitika ndi anthu ogwidwa ndi ziwanda aja.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Ndipo anthu onse a mʼmudziwo anatuluka kukakumana ndi Yesu. Ndipo atamuona Iye, anamupempha kuti achoke mʼdera lawo.
