Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,
Ndaŵi jijojo, Che Yesu ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jila, ŵajawile kukutama mungulugulu litanda.
2 when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.
Mipingo jajikulungwa ja ŵandu jansyungwile nipele ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama. Ŵandu wose ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda,
3 He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.
nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile indu yejinji kwa itagu, achitiji, “Mpilikane! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
“Paŵaliji nkumisa mbeju, sine syapatuchile mungulugulu matala ga mmigunda, nipele yaiche ijuni ni kusimila.
5 Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
Sine syapatuchile mmaganga pangali litaka lyejinji. Syawoneche simesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyaliji kanandi.
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.
Nipele, lyuŵa palyaŵasile syatiniche ligongo michiga jakwe jaliji nganijijinjilisya paasi, syajumwile.
7 Some falls among the thorns; but the thorns spring up and stifle it.
Sine syapatuchile pa miiŵa, nombe miiŵa jo jamesile ni kusiŵijikanya.
8 But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
Sine syapatuchile pa litaka lya chajila, syamesile, ni kusogola, sine mia moja, sine sitini ni sine selasini.
9 Listen, every one who has ears!"
Jwakwete mapilikanilo ga kupilikanila, apilikane!”
10 (And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao Che Yesu ŵajaulile ni kwausya kuti, “Ana ligongo chi nkuŵecheta ni ŵandu kwa itagu?”
11 "Because," He replied, "while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe ukombole wa kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa kwinani nambo ŵanewo nganapegwa.
12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chapegwe ni kujonjecheswa, nambo jwele jwanganakola chindu, atamuno chele chakwete cho chasumulwe.
13 I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.
Kwa ligongo lyo nguŵecheta nawo kwa itagu, pakuŵa akulola nambo ngakulola, akupilikana nambo ngakupilikanichisya atamuno ngakumanyilila.
14 And in regard to them the prophecy of Isaiah is receiving signal fulfilment: "'You will hear and hear and by no means understand, and you will look and look and by no means see.
Kwa ŵelewo gamalile agala maloŵe gaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti: ‘Kupilikana chimpilikane nambo ngammanyilila. Kulola chinlolechesye nambo ngammona.
15 For this people's mind is stupefied, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might heal them.'
Pakuŵa lunda lwa ŵele ŵandu wo lupungwene, agasiŵile mapilikanilo gao, akupilenje. Nambo ikaliji akulola kwa meeso gao, ni kupilikana kwa mapilikanilo gao, nombe akamanyilile kwa lunda lwao, ni kung'alauchila, none ngaalamisye.’
16 "But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
“Nambo nkwete upile ŵanyamwe pakuŵa meeso genu gakulola ni mapilikanilo genu gakupilikana.
17 For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.
Ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵakulondola achajinji ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵasachile kugaona gankugaona nambo nganagaona ni kugapilikana gamkugapilikana nambo nganagapilikana.
18 "To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.
“Nipele, ŵanyamwe mpilikane malumbo ga achi chitagu cha jwakupanda chi.
19 When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.
Jwalijose jwakulipilikana liloŵe lyankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu pangalimanyilila, ali mpela mbeju sisyapatuchile mmatala ga mmigunda, Jwangalumbana jula akwika kuchityosya chele chepandikwe mu ntima mwakwe cho.
20 He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile mmaganga, sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulipochela kwa unonyelo.
21 It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.
Nambo ngakulikamulichisya ni nganakola michiga nkati mwakwe, akulikamula katema kakajipi pe, pakukutyochela kulaga ni kusauka kwa ligongo lya liloŵe lyo, papopo akuleka kulikulupilila liloŵe.
22 He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa miiŵa syo sili mpela mundu jwakulipilikana liloŵe, nambo kwa ligongo lya kuchenjeuchila masengo ga umi watulinawo ni kuchinonyela kwannope chipanje kukuliŵijikanya liloŵe lyo, nombejo ngakusogola isogosi, yaani kupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
23 But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.")
Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa litaka lyambone sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulimanyilila, jwelejo akupanganya yejinji yambone yaikusachilwa mpela mbeju ijikuti pakusogola, jimo mia moja, jine sitini, ni jine selasini.”
24 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ukulandana ni mundu jwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda wakwe.
25 but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.
Nambo ŵandu paŵaliji agonile, ŵaiche jwammagongo jwakwe, ŵapandile masindi mwepande ngano, ni kutyoka.
26 But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.
Nipele, pasyamesile mbeju ni kutanda kusogola ni masindi gatandite kuwoneka.
27 "So the farmer's men come and ask him, "'Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'
Achikapolo ŵa asyene ngunda ŵaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, ngati mwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda mwenu? Sambano gatyochele kwapi masindi?’
28 "'Some enemy has done this,' he said. "'Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.
Nipele ŵatite, ‘Jwammagongo ni jwatesile yeleyo.’ Nipele, achikapolo wakwe ŵaausisye, ‘Uli, nkusaka tujaule tukagatupule?’
29 "'No,' he replied, 'for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.
Nombejo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngwamba, pachintupule masindi, pane chinkatupule pamo ni ngano.
30 Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"
Nneche ikule yose pamo mpaka katema ka kugungula. Nipele, katema ka kugungula chinjasalila ŵakugungula kuti, nsonganganye kaje masindi nkagataŵikanye ilingo ilingo, nkagatinisye. Nambo ngano nsonganganye ni kutaga mu ngokwe jangu.’”
31 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaatagulile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali jatosile mundu ni kujipanda mungunda mwakwe.
32 It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches."
Jisyene jili jajinandi kusipunda mbeju sine syose, nambo jamelaga ni kukula jikuŵa jajikulungwa kupunda mimela jose. Ukukula ni kuŵa chitela mpaka ijuni ya mwinani ikwika ni kutaŵa isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
33 Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni amila jajigele jwankongwe jumo, ni kuwanganya ni utandi mbisi siŵili ni nusu, ni utandi wose wasaseŵele.”
34 All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them,
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu yose kwa itagu. Ni pangali chitagu nganiŵasalila chachili chose.
35 in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."
Pakuti limalile liloŵe lyaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu: “Chiŵechetenawo kwa itagu, chinaasalile ŵandu indu yaisisikwe chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.”
36 When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaichile ni kwasalila, “Ntugopolele chitagu cha masindi ga mungunda.”
37 "The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakupanda mbeju syambone ni Mwana jwa Mundu.
38 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
Nombe ngunda uli chilambo chino. Nombe syele mbeju syambone syo sili ŵele ŵandu ŵati Umwenye uli wo. Nambo masindi ali ŵandu ŵa jwangalumbana jula.
39 The enemy who sows the darnel is the Devil; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
Nombe jwammagongo jwapandile masindi ali Shetani. Magungulo gali mbesi ja chilambo chino, nombe ŵakugungula ali achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. (aiōn g165)
40 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age. (aiōn g165)
Mpela ila masindi igakuti pakusonganganywa ni kutinisya, iyoyo ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
Mwana jwa Mundu chachalajisya achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti asonganganye kutyochela mu Umwenye wao wose aŵala ŵakwaleŵekasya ŵandu atende sambi ni wose ŵatesile ya sambi.
42 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo chiŵaponye ŵandu pa litanuli lya mooto wakalipa ni kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.
43 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
Kele katema ko ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chachimelemenda mpela lyuŵa mu Umwenye wa Atati ŵao. Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikanile!
44 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbiko jajisisiche mu ngunda. Mundu jumpepe ŵajiweni ni kujisisa sooni. Nipele ŵasangalele nnope ni ŵajawile kukuisumisya iŵakwete yose ni kusuma ngunda ula.
45 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls.
“Sooni, umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwakusumisya malonda achisosaga igogo yambone.
46 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it.
Nombe paŵachiweni chigogo chimo cha ndalama jajikulungwa, ŵajawile, ŵaisumisye iŵakwete yose, ŵachisumile chigogo chila.
47 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
“Sooni, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni lwau lwauponyekwe mu litanda, lwatanjile somba syasili syose.
48 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
Lwau palwagumbele, ŵakukoka somba ŵaluutile kumbwani, ŵatemi kusagula somba syambone ni kusitaga mu itundu yao ni somba syangalumbana ŵasijasile.
49 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Yeleyi ni ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino, achikatumetume ŵa kwinani chachikopochela, chiŵalekanganye ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana. (aiōn g165)
50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
Nombe ŵele ŵangalumbana wo chiŵajasile pa litanuli lya mooto. Kweleko chachilila ni kuchilimya meeno.”
51 "Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.
Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana gele gose ga nkugamanyilila?” Ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
52 "Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."
Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Kwa ligongo lyo, jwakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa jwalijose jwakuŵa jwakulijiganya jwa Umwenye wa kwinani, alandene ni nsyene nyuumba jwakukoposya mu mbiko jakwe indu ya ndalama ya sambano ni indu ya ndalama ya kalakala.”
53 Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yele itagu yo, ŵatyosile pelepo,
54 And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?
ni ŵapite mu musi wao. Kweleko ŵajiganyaga ŵandu mu nyuumba jao ja kupopelela, nombewo ŵasimosile nikuti, “Jweleju apatile kwapi alu lunda lu ni ukombole wa kuipanganya yakusimonjeka?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
Ana ajuju ngati mwana jwa jwakusepa itela? Achikulu ŵao ngati akuŵilanjikwa che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngati che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Simoni ni che Yuda?
56 And his sisters--are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?"
Achalumbugwe wose ngati ali pamo ni uweji? Nambi ajuju apatile kwapi aga gose ga?”
57 So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, "There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family."
Nipele, nganiŵakunda. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa nambo ngaakuchimbichikwa mu chilambo chakwe ni mu nyuumba jakwe!”
58 And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their want of faith.
Kwa ligongo lyo, nganatenda yakusimonjeka yaijinji ligongo lya ungali chikulupi wao.
