< Matthew 9 >

1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Yesu akaj'hingila mu liboti, akalobhokha na akafika mu mji ghwa atameghe.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Langaghe bhandetili munu j'haapozili agonili mu ligodoro. bho ajhibhuene imani j'ha bhene, Yesu akan'jobhela munu j'ha apoozili, “Mwanabhangu, uj'hiaghe ni furaha, Dhambi sa j'hobhi lisamehibhu”
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Langaghe, Baadhi j'ha bhalimu bha sheria bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Munu oj'ho ikufuru”
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Yesu akaghamanya mabhuasu gha bhene na akajobha, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki mwibhuasya maovu mu mioyo ghinu?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Khelekhu kya kij'hoj'hofu kujobha, 'Dhambi sa j'hobhi simalikusamehebhwa' au kujobha, 'Uj'hemaghe na ugendayi?'
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Lakini mmanyaghe j'he kuj'ha Mwana ghwa Adamu aj'he ni bhuwezo bhwa kusamee dhambi...” aghajobhi agha kwa j'hola amalikupooza, “J'hemai. tolayi ligodoro lya j'hobhi, na ulotaj'hi kunyumba kwa j'hobhi”
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Ndipo munu j'hola akaj'hema ni kubhoka kulota kunyumba kwa muene.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Makutano bho bhaghabhuene agha, bhashangale ni kunsifu K'yara, ambaj'he abhapelili bhuwezo obhu bhanu.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Na Yesu bho ip'heta kuh'omela apu ambwene munu ambaj'he akutibhu kwa lihina lya Mathayo, ambaj'he aj'hele atamili sehemu j'ha bhatoza ushuru. Ni muene akan'jobhela, “Nikhesiayi nene” Ni muene aj'hema nu kunkesya.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Ni Yesu bho atamili ili aliayi kyakulya mugati mu nyumba bhakahida bhatoza ushuru bhingi ni bhanu bhaovu bhakashiriki pamonga ni Yesu ni bhanafunzi bha muene.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Ndipo Mafarisayo bho bhaghabhuene agha bhakabhajobhela bhanafunzi “Kwandabha j'ha kiki mwalimu ghwa j'homu ilya kyakulya ni bhatoza ushuru ni bhanu bhaovu pamonga?”
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Yesu bho ap'heliki ni afya j'hinofu bhilonda lepi n'ganga, isipokuj'ha kwa bhala bhabhine tu.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
J'hikabhalondeka mul'otaghe mukwimanyisiaghe maana j'hiake, “Niganili rehema na siyo dhabihu” Kwa kuj'ha nahidili, si kwa bhenye haki kutubu, lakini kwa bhabhajhe ni dhambi.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Ndipo bhanafunzi bha Yohana bhakahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki tete ni mafarisayo twifunga, lakini bhanafunzi bha j'hobhi bhifunga lepi?”
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Yesu akabhajobhela, Je bhasindikizaji bha harusi bhibhwesya kuj'ha ni huzuni pindi Bwana arusi paijha pamonga nabhu? Lakini magono ghihida ambapo Bwana arusi ibetakutolibhwa kuh'oma kwa bhene, na ndipo pabhibetakufunga.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Aj'helepi munu j'haibheka kipandi kya ngobho mpya mu ngobho j'ha muandi, kiraka kibetakubhosibhwa kuh'oma mu ngobho ni kakachulilu kabhaa kibetakutokela.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Bhaj'helepi bhanu bha bhibheka mvinyo mpya mu khenu kya mvinyo bhwa muandi, ikaj'hiaghe bhibeta kubhomba, ngosi j'hihatuka, mvinyo bhwibhokha ni ngozi j'hij'honangheka. Badala j'hiakhe, bhibheka mvinyo mpya mu ngozi mpya na fyoha fibetakuj'ha salama.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Bhwakati Yesu bho aj'hele akabhajobhela mambo agha, langaghe, afisa akahida akasujudu mb'ele j'ha muene, Nu muene akajobha, “Mwalibhangu afuili henu naha, lakini hidayi na ubhekai kibhoko kya j'hobhi panani pa muene nu muene ibetakuishi kabhele.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Ndipo Yesu akaj'hema ni kun'kesya ni bhanafunzi bha muene pia.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Langaghe, n'dala ambaj'he aj'hele ihoma muasi kwa muda ghwa miaka mibhele, akahida karibu ni Yesu na akakamula sehemu j'ha pindo lya livazi lyake.
Kwa kuj'ha ajobhili, “Kama nibetakukamula livazi la muene, ni nene nibekukabha uponyaji.”
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Yesu asanuiki ni kundanga ni kun'jobhela.” Mwalibhangu, kip'elayi muoyo, imani j'ha bhebhe j'hikubhombili uponayi,” Na muda bhobhuobhu n'dala akakabha kupona.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Na Yesu bho afikiri pa nyumba j'ha afisa abhabhuene bhalehobha tarumbeta ni bhumati bhwa bhanu bhakaj'ha bhipiga makhelele.
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
Ni muene akajobha, “Mubhokaj'hi apa, kwa ndabha mwali oj'ho afwilepi agonili. Lakini bhene bhakaheka ni kunkebehi.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Na bhala bhana bho bhah'omesibhu kwibhala, ni akaj'hingila kugati ni kunkamula kibhokho ni n'dala akaj'humuka.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Ni habari e'se sikaj'henela katika mji bhuoha.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Ndipo Yesu bho ip'heta kuhoma pala, bhagosi bhabhele fipofu bhakankesya. Bhakaj'handelela kukwesya sauti bhakaj'ha bhijobha, “Twis'oma uturehemu, Mwana ghwa Daudi.”
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Pindi Yesu bho afikiri mu nyumba, bhala fipofu bhakahida kwa muene, Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mwikyera kuj'ha nibhwesya kubhomba?” Na bhene bhakan'jobhela “Ena, Bwana”
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Ndipo Yesu akakamula mihu gha bhene ni kujobha “Na j'hibhombekai naha kwa muenga kama imani j'ha muenga kyaij'hele”
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Na mihu gha bhene ghakafumbuka. Ndipo Yesu akasisitisya akabhaamuru nikujobha “Mulangayi munu j'hej'hioha j'hola asimanyi kuhusu lijambo e'le.”
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Lakini bhanu abha bhabhele bhakabhoka ni kutangasya habari e'se sehemu syoha sya mji.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Ndipo bhala bhagosi bhabhele bhobhikwilotela, Langayi, munu mmonga bubu ambaj'he apagewa ni mapepo alitibhu kwa Yesu.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Ni pepo bhambokili, yola munu bubu aj'handa kulongela. Bhumati bhusyangasibhwa ni kujobha “Ej'he j'hibhwaj'hi lepi kuh'omela mu Israeli.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Lakini mafarisayo bhakaj'ha bhijobha “Kwa bhabhaha bha pepo, akabhabhenga mapepo”
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Yesu akalota mu miji ghioha ni vijiji. Nu muene akaj'hendelela kumanyisya mu masinagogi, akihubiri injili j'ha bhufalme, ni kuponesya bhubhine bhwa kila aina ni bhudhaifu bhwa aina syoha.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Bhwakati ilola bhumati, kwa ndabha bhasumbuikhi ni kudumuka mioyo. Bhaj'hele kama makondoo ghaghadulili n'dimaji.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Nu muene akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene. “Mavuno ndo mingi, lakini bhabhomba mambo bhadebe.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Henu manyata mun'somaghe Bwana ghwa mavuno, ili abhatumaghe bhabhomba mbombo mu mavuno ghakhe.
