< Matthew 8 >

1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Pu umwene avile ikhile ukhuhuma pakhyamba, avanyalulundamano vingi vakongile.
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.”
Pu lola, akhincha umunu unyabuuba, akhata, “Nkhuludeva unave winogwa wimonie uvutamu.”
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}.
U yesu pwakhagolosya ikhivokho khyamwene akhamwabasya akhata, “Ninogwa upone. Pu akhapona useikhe gulagula ibuuba.
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.”
Pu u Yesu akhambula akhata, “Lola khyomela ukhumbula umunu eikhidego eikhi. Pu lutage ukhivonesye khuntekhenchi, pukhahumye neinekhelo nduva alagile u Mose muvamanyile avane”
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Pu uYesu avile afikhe khu Kapernaumu, pu undongonchi vavasikhali akhincha khumwene,
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
pu leino unchongonchi ula akhasimelencha akhata, “'Veinkuludeva, umunu vango aleipa kaya alambalieile igona umbeili gwa mwene gufwe eiganji hange aleinuluvavo fincho.”
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Pu u Yesu akhambula akhata, “'Nikhwinja neinjaveile apone”.
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.
Pu ula undongonchi vavasikhali akhamwamula akhata, “Inkhuludeva, vango sapanogile ukhuta uve wingile mukaya yango, pu ni doova unchove eilimenyu vuvule pu umbombi vango ipona.
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].”
Ulwa khuva une na yune neilimunu neiveikhivwe pulungonchi vwa vasikhali ava valipasi palyune. Nei ngale khyuyu “'Luta' khuvuleive, pu iluta 'Vuvule' pu khuyunga neingate inchaga khunu ikhwincha vuvule, hange umunu umbombi vango neingate,' vomba eikheive puivomba vuvule.
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!
Pu u Yesu vuapulikhe ndavule adegilee fincho nukhuvavula avakongaga akhata, “Ncha yeilweli nikhuvavula, saneigelile lusikhu umunu unya lweideikho ndulu mu Israeli eiyei yooni.
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.
Nune nikhuvavula eiyakhuta avingi valahuma khuvuhumo wa linchuva na khuvusemo wa linchuva, valatama pupaninie nu Abrahimu, nu Isaka, nu Yakobo, pakhulya ifinu mundudeeva lwa khukyanya.
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)
Pu leino avene avana valudeeva vala lahwagwa muhisi ya khunji, pu ukhwa khulava neikhileilo nu lugaduncho lwa meno.”
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].
Na voope uYesu akhambula undongonchi vavasikhali akhata, “Lutaga! puyive nduvunchovile ukhuta umunu umbombi vakho apane, Ukhukongana nu lweidekho lwakho.” Pu leino umbimbi va mwene akhapona useikhe gulagula.
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.
Pu uYesu akhafikha khukaya ya Petro, pwakhambuna unkwive va Petro vaninemwa va dala va mwene, igona pakhihaga aleineimungu.
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].
Pu uYesu akhamwabasia ikhivokho khya mwene imungu puyeikhandekha.
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.
Pu pakhimihe vukhwilile pu avanu vakhavagega vavingi avavule ni mepo imbivi. Akhandimenyu lya mwene akhavaponia vooni avo vale vatamu hange vatokhile.
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]
Pu yeikhava limalile ukhuvombekha eiliemenyu leila ilyanchoviwagwa nu nyamalago u Isaya, eilyakhuta umwene avatulile uvudekhedekhe vwito, nu vutamu vwito wooni avupeimbeile”
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].
Pu umwene u Yesu avile avwene ikhipuga khya vanu vuvingi vanchungutile akhavavula nuvalagila ukhuta tuvukhe tulovokhe khumwambo khunyanja eiyamu Galilaya.
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.”
Pu umunu uyungu usimbi vakalata akhandutila uYesu, pwakhata, veimanyisi uve nikhukhukonga khyoni ukhuwiluta.”
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].”
U Yesu akhamwamula akhata, “Amakave galeinamaguli umwakhugona ifidege fyope filinuvufumba, pu umwana vanya munu aleinchila pakhuveikha uluvafu nukhuhagalila untwe.”
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].”
Ukongi va mwene uyunge akhambula akhata, “Nkuludeva, nidova nilute nikhasyile u Daada.” Pu u Yesu akhata,
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.”
“Ung'ongage une uvalekhe avafwile vasyiilage vavo.”
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
U Yesu akhingeila muliboti, avakongi va mwene vakhakonga.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Lola inyanja yikhahambukha vu umbelo guleikhukulugata neimepo yale mbaha fincho. Pu leino u Yesu agonelile utulu.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Avakongi vakhanduteila vakhasisimula nukhata, gwe Nkhuludeva utupokhe ufwe tuleivanya khyongomela munyanja.
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.
U Yesu akhavavula akhata khiikhi muleivadwaanchi umwe, khikhi mulei nulwidikho ludebe umwe?” Akhasisimukha, pu akhava munu va khutama khu kulugutu ugunya mepo eiyinya mbelo uguleikhupiga eiliboti pu einyanja yeikhalitama,
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]!”
avanu vooni vakhadeya nukhuta umunu uyu aleinamakha makhi, hange aleindakhikhi pakhuva ukulugutu gwa mepo eiyinyambelo gyope gukhudwaada?”
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].
Pu useikhi ugu uYesu avile alutile khumwambo khu khilunga eikhya vaMagadala, valepo na vanu vaveili avanya mepo imbivi vakhaganila nave. Avanu avo vahumile khumapumba pu valeikhuvagatancha fincho avanu, pa navava gendanjeila savaleikhugenda einjeila yeila.
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]?”
Lola, puvakhovela eilimenyu vakhaya, “Tuleinakhikhi nuve vei mwana va Nguluve? Winchile apa pakhuta kineila vu pakhale useikhi sagufikhe?”
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Pu kwale neikhipuga khya ngube pu nchale pipi navo, hange valepo na vadeimi vagube,
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!”
imepo imbivi punchilikhukuta khwa Yesu ukhuta. “Pu ungave ulwamwile ukhutuhumya utuheileikhe magubenchila.”
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.
Pu uYesu akhata, “Lutaga!” Pu imepo imbivi nchikhahuma khu vanu vala nukhunchikhingeila khugube. Lola eikhipuga khyoni khikhikha ukhuhuma khukhyamba leikhaluta nukhwingila munyanja punchikhafwa mumagosi.
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}.
Pu leina avadeimi vagube vakhanyila ukhuvuya, vavile vafikhe khu vanchege vwa vanu vakhayavula nchooni inchuvanchiwene na vavanu avanya mepo imbivi.
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]).
Lola, uvunchenge wooni wa vanu vakhincha khukhwaganila nu Yesu. Vaveile va mbwene vakhasimeileincha ahegage nu khilunga khyavo.
