< Matthew 12 >

1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Kele katema ko Che Yesu ŵapitaga mmigunda ja ngano pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila. Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵao jakwete sala, ŵatandite kupulula masache ga ngano ni kulya.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
Nambo Mafalisayo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akugapanganya gamakanye kugapanganya pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
Che Yesu ŵajanjile ŵanyawo kuti, “Uli nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pajakwete sala?
4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
Jwelejo jwajinjile mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵajigele ni kulya mikate jijatyosyekwe kwa ligongo lya Akunnungu. Che Daudi ni achinjakwe nganasachilwa kulya ikaŵe ŵambopesi pe.
5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Pane, uli ngannaŵe kusyoma mmalembelo ga Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa kila Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ŵambopesi akugatema Malajisyo pa nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nambo ngakuŵalanjilwa kuŵa aleŵile?
6 But I say to you, that in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
Nipele, ngunsalila kuti apano apali jwaali jwankulu kujipunda Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Nambo nkagamanyilile malumbo gakwe aga maloŵe ga gaasasile Akunnungu, ‘Ngusaka chanasa ngaŵa mbopesi,’ ngankaalamule ŵandu ŵangali ni sambi.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
9 And when he had departed thence, he went into their synagogue.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
10 And behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
Mwaliji ni mundu jumo jwali ni nkono wakutatala. Nipele, ŵandu ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Uli, ili yambone kunnamya mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?” Ŵambusisye yeleyo kuti akolanje ligongo lya kwaŵechetela.
11 And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Tujile jumo jwenu akwete ngondolo jimo, nombe najo jitumbuchile mwisimbo, uli, ana nganjenda kujikamula ni kujityosya pakuŵa lili Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Nambo, mundu atopele kujipunda ngondolo! Nipele, ili yambone kupanganya yaili yambone pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out; and [it] was restored to a sound state like the other.
Nipele, ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Ngolosye nkono wenu.” Ŵaugolwesye, nombe ni ŵalamile chisau nkono wine ula.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵatyosile paasa ni kuusyana ichajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu.
15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.
Nambo Che Yesu paŵasimanyi ng'anisyo syao, ŵatyosile pepala. Ŵandu achajinji ŵakuiye ni ŵaalamisye ŵakulwala wose,
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
ŵakanyisye ngasiŵamanyisya ŵandu ngani syakwe,
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
pakuti gamalile maloŵe gaŵechete jwakulondola che Isaya,
18 Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
“Nnole, jwakutumichila jwangu junansagwile, jwakunonyelwa jwangu jwakuusengwasya nnope ntima wangu. Chinantaje Mbumu jwangu, nombejo chakaasalile ŵandu ŵa ilambo kulamula kwangu.
19 He shall not contend, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Ngasakola makani atamuno nganyanyisya, ni liloŵe lyao ngalipikanika mwitala.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth judgment to victory.
Chapunde kwakolela chanasa ŵandu ŵakwete masauko ga kuputikwa kwa nnasi, ni kwakamulisya ntima ŵandu ŵangali machili, mpaka ulamusi waukusachilwa pachiukomboleswe kulamula.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Ŵandu wose ŵa ilambo yose chakole chilolelo kwa jwelejo.”
22 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
Papopo ŵandu ŵannyichisye Che Yesu mundu jwangalola atamuno kuŵecheta kwa ligongo lya kukamulwa ni masoka. Nipele ŵannamisye jwangaŵecheta jo ni jwaŵechete ni kulola.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Mpingo wose wa ŵandu ŵasimosile ni ŵatite, “Jweleju ngati Mwana ju che Daudi?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [man] doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Nambo Mafalisayo paŵapilikene gelego, ŵatite, “Mundu ju akugakoposya masoka kwa machili ga Belesebuli jwankulu jwa masoka.”
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand.
Che Yesu ŵasimanyilile ng'anisyo syao, ŵaasalile, “Umwenye wauliwose waugaŵanyiche maunjili maunjili gagakumenyana, ngaukulonjela, yalumo peyo, musi pane ŵandu ŵa nyuumba jajilijose agaŵanyikaga maunjili maunjili gagakumenyana achinsyene pe, nyuumba jo ngajijima.
26 And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Iŵaga mpingo umo ukumenyana ni mpingo wine mu umwenye wa Shetani, malumbo gakwe umwenye wo ugaŵanyiche, nipele, chiujime chinauli?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children expel [them]? therefore they shall be your judges.
Ŵanyamwe nkutinji une ngugakoposya masoka kwa machili ga Belesebuli, uli, ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akugakoposya kwa machili ga acheni? Kwa lye ligongo lyo ŵandu ŵakunkuya ni ŵachammechetele ŵanyamwe.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
Nambo iŵaga une ngugakoposya masoka kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, pelepo mmanyilile kuti umwenye wa Akunnungu unnyichilile.
29 Or else, how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.
“Sooni mundu akukombola chinauli kwinjila mu nyuumba ja mundu jwali ni machili ni kunsumula chipanje chakwe, akanamtaŵe kaje mundu jwali ni machili jula? Pele ni pachapakombole kunsumula chipanje chakwe.
30 He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
“Jwalijose jwanganaŵa pamo none, akunganila une ni jwangasonganganya ŵandu pamo none, akwapwilinganya.
31 Wherefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Kwa lye ligongo lyo ngunsalila, ŵandu chalecheleswe sambi ni liloŵe lyalili lyose lyakwatukana Akunnungu, nambo juchantukane Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwelejo ngalecheleswa.
32 And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. (aiōn g165)
Ni jwalijose juchaŵechete liloŵe lya kunkanila Mwana jwa Mundu, chalecheleswe, nambo jwele juchaŵechete liloŵe lya kunkanila Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jo, ngalecheleswa, ngaŵa pa chilambo cha sambano chi atamuno pa chilambo chachikwika cho. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [its] fruit.
“Chitela chambone chikusogola isogosi yambone ni chitela changalumbana chikusogola isogosi yangalumbana. Nipele chitela chikumanyika kwa isogosi yakwe.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wa majoka! Nkukombola chinauli kusala gambone mwasyene mwaŵaga ŵangalumbana? Pakuŵa mundu akuŵecheta agala gagagumbele mu ntima wakwe.
35 A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.
Mundu jwambone akukoposya gambone mu ngokwe jakwe jambone, ni mundu jwangalumbana akukoposya gangalumbana mu ngokwe jakwe jangalumbana.
36 But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment.
“Nipele, ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula ŵandu chasachilwe kwanga kwa liloŵe lyalili lyose lyangalumbana lyaŵaŵechete.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Pakuŵa kwa maloŵe genu gambone chachimmalanjila kuti ndi ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni kwa maloŵe genu gakusakala chinchilamulwa.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Nipele, ŵane ŵa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jwakwiganya, tukusaka kulola chimanyisyo kutyochela kukwenu.”
39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Nombejo ŵaajanjile, “Uŵelesi wangalumbana ni wangakulupilichika! Nkusakanga chimanyisyo, nambo ngampegwa chimanyisyo ikaŵe achila pe chimanyisyo cha che Yona jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Pakuŵa mpela che Yona iŵatite pakutama moŵa gatatu muusi ni chilo mlutumbo lwa somba jajikulungwa, iyoyo Mwana jwa Mundu nombe ni ichajile pakutama mu lisi moŵa gatatu muusi ni chilo.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
Ŵandu ŵa ku Ninawi chakopochele katema kakulamula, nombewo chasale kuti au uŵelesi u wana magambo. Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa ku Ninawi ŵalesile sambi syao kwa ligongo lya kulalichila ku che Yona, ni nnole, apano apali jwampundile che Yona!
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Mwenye jwankongwe jwa chilambo cha ku Sheba chakopochele katema au uŵelesi u pachiulamulikwe, nombe chasale kuti uŵelesi u wana magambo. Pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵaiche kutyochela kwakutalika, ŵaiche kukugapilikanila maloŵe ga lunda ga mwenye che Selemani, nambo pelepa kwana jwankulungwa kupunda mwenye che Selemani.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
“Lisoka palikunkopoka mundu, likusyungula syungula mwipululu mwangali meesi lichisosaga pakupumulila, nambo lyalepelaga kupata,
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
pelepo ni likuti, ‘Chimujile ku nyuumba jangu akula kungopochele kula.’ Nambo palikuuja ni kujisimana nyuumba jila jili jangali chindu ni jepyajile ni jekolosye,
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
pele likwaula kukugajigala masoka gane saba gakusakala kupunda ŵelewo, gose gakwaula kukunjinjila jwele mundu jo. Ni jwele mundu jo akuŵa jwangalumbana nnope kupunda iŵaliji kundanda. Yeleyo ni ichijile pakutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵangalumbana.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Che Yesu paŵaliji aninkwendelechela kukunguluka ni mipingo ja ŵandu, achikulu ŵao ni achalongo ajao ŵaiche ni kwima paasa, ŵasachile kunguluka nawo.
47 Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Nipele, mundu jumo ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Achikulu ŵenu ni achalongo ajenu ajimi paasa, akusaka kuŵecheta nomwe.”
48 But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Nambo Che Yesu ŵanjanjile jwele mundu jo kuti, “Ŵaani achikulu ŵangu? Ni ŵaani achalongo ajangu?”
49 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Che Yesu ŵanlanjile mundu jula ŵakulijiganya ŵao achitiji, “Ŵeleŵa ni ŵaali achikulu ŵangu ni achalongo achinjangu!
50 For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakupanganya yakuisaka Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani, jwelejo ni mpwanga ni mlumbwangu ni achikulu ŵangu.”
