Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Che Yesu paŵatulwiche pa chitumbi, mipingo jekulungwa ja ŵandu jakuiye.
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.”
Nipele, ŵaiche mundu jwa matana, ŵatindiŵalile ni kwakotamila ni kuti, “Ambuje, mwasakaga, nkukombola kuswejesya!”
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}.
Che Yesu ŵajongwele nkono, ŵakwayiye ni kuti, “Ngusaka, nswejele.” Papopo mundu jo ŵalamile matana gao.
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.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Mpilikane, munansalile mundu jwalijose, nambo njaule nkalilosye kwa jwambopesi, nkatyosye mbopesi mpela iŵatite pakusala che Musa kwalosya ŵandu wose kuti nnamile.”
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Che Yesu paŵajinjilaga musi wa Kapelenaumu, chilongola jumo jwa ŵandu ŵangondo ŵa chilambo cha ku Loma ŵanjaulile ni kwachondelela ŵakamusye
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
achitiji, “Ambuje, katumetume jwangu agonile mu nyuumba atatele, ni akupotekwa nnope.”
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Chiiche kukunnamya.”
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.
Chilongola jwa ŵandu ŵangondo jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, nganguŵajilwa mmwe njinjile mu nyuumba jangu. Nambo mmechete liloŵe pe ni katumetume jwangu chalame.
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].”
Pakuŵa noneji nombe ndili mundu jundi paasi pa ukombole wa achakulungwa, sooni ngwete ŵangondo paasi pa une. Nansalilaga jumo, ‘Njaule!’ Nombejo akwaula ni jwine, ‘Njise!’ Nombejo akwika ni kapolo jwangu, ‘Ntende achi!’, Nombejo akuchitenda.”
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!
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵagapilikene maloŵe go, ŵasimosile, ni ŵasalile ŵandu ŵaŵaliji aninkwakuya, “Ngunsalila isyene, nganinammone mundu jwali ni chikulupi mpela achi namuno mu chilambo cha ku Isilaeli.
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.
Nipele, ngunsalila kuti, ŵandu achajinji chaiche kutyochela kungopochelo lyuŵa ni kulikuswela lyuŵa, ni ŵanyawo chatame pachindimba cha chakulya pamo ni che Iblahimu ni che Isaka ni che Yakobo mu Umwenye wa kwinani.
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)
Nambo ŵelewo ŵati aŵe mu Umwenye wo chaponyekwe paasa, pa chipi, kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.”
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].
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵansalile chilongola jwa ŵandu ŵangondo jula, “Njaule kumangwenu ni itendekwe kukwenu mpela inkuti pakukulupilila.” Ni katumetume jwao ŵalamile katema kakoko.
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.
Che Yesu ŵaiche kumusi ku che Petulo, ŵasimene akwegwao ŵa chikongwe che Petulo ali agonile pachindanda, aninkulwala chiboko.
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].
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵankwaiye nkono jwankongwe, nombewo ŵalamile ni ŵajimwiche ni kwatumichila.
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.
Ligulo lyakwe, ŵaichisye ŵandu achajinji ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka, nombejo kwa litala lya majiganyo gakwe, ŵagaŵinjile masoka go ni kwalamya wose ŵaŵalwalaga.
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]
Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti, “Asyene akutyosisye kulaga kwetu, ni kutulamya ilwele yetu.”
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].
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu uninkwasyungula, ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ajomboche ajaulangane peesi litanda.
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.”
Jwakwiganya Malajisyo jumo ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, une chinankuye kwakulikose kuchinjaule.”
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].”
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Macheto gakwete masomwa, ni ijuni ikwete isusi, nambo Mwana jwa Mundu nganakola peuto pakupumulila.”
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].”
Nipele, mundu jwine mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵansalile, “Ambuje muuneche kaje nyaule ngaasiche atati ŵangu.”
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.”
Nambo Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munguye, mwaleche ŵawe ŵaasiche ŵawe ŵao.”
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajawile nawo.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Chisisimuchile jatandite kupuga chimbunga chekulungwa mu litanda ni matumbela gatandite kujiunichila ngalaŵa. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaliji agonile lugono.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile kukwajimusya achitiji, “Ambuje ntukulupusye, tulinkwasika!”
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.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana, ligongo chi nkogopa?” Nipele, ŵajinamukwiche, ni kuchikalipila chimbunga ni matumbela, ni kwatulele jii.
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]!”
Ni ŵandu ŵasimonjile ni ŵatite, “Ana mundu ju ali jwanti uli? Namuno chimbunga ni matumbela ikwapilikanila!”
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].
Che Yesu paŵaiche peesi litanda mu chilambo cha Ŵagelasi, ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka ŵasimene nawo achikopochelaga kumalembe. Ŵandu wo ŵajogoyaga nnope, namose ŵandu nganapitaga litala lyo.
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]?”
Nipele, ŵatandite kunyanyisya achitiji, “Nkusaka ichichi kwetuwe, alakwe Mwana jwa Akunnungu? Ana nnyiche kukutulagasya kakanaŵe katema ketu?”
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Chiŵandi ni pelepo kwaliji ni mpingo wa maguluŵe ganinkulya.
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!”
Nipele, masoka gala gaachondelele Che Yesu ganinkuti, “Iŵaga nkutukoposya, ntusalile tukagajinjile maguluŵe gala.”
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.
Che Yesu ŵagasalile, “Ayaga, njaule.” Papopo gakopweche kwa ŵandu ŵala ni kwinjila mmaguluŵe. Mpingo wose wa maguluŵe waselelechele mu litanda ni maguluŵe gose gawile mmeesi.
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}.
Ŵakuchinga maguluŵe gala ŵautwiche, ŵajawile mmusi. Kweleko ŵaasalile ŵandu ngani syose ni indu iyasimene ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka ŵala.
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]).
Nipele, ŵandu wose ŵa musi wo ŵatyosile kukwachingamila Che Yesu, paŵaweni ŵachondelele kuti atyoche mu chilambo chao.
