< Matthew 12 >

1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain 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 the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what 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, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Che Yesu ŵajanjile ŵanyawo kuti, “Uli nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pajakwete sala?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those 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 you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
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 tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Nipele, ngunsalila kuti apano apali jwaali jwankulu kujipunda Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t 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 of the Sabbath.”
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so 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 He said to them, “What man is there amongst you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to 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 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
Nambo, mundu atopele kujipunda ngondolo! Nipele, ili yambone kupanganya yaili yambone pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Nipele, ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Ngolosye nkono wenu.” Ŵaugolwesye, nombe ni ŵalamile chisau nkono wine ula.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵatyosile paasa ni kuusyana ichajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. 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 commanded them that they should not make him known,
ŵakanyisye ngasiŵamanyisya ŵandu ngani syakwe,
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through 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 on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
“Nnole, jwakutumichila jwangu junansagwile, jwakunonyelwa jwangu jwakuusengwasya nnope ntima wangu. Chinantaje Mbumu jwangu, nombejo chakaasalile ŵandu ŵa ilambo kulamula kwangu.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Ngasakola makani atamuno nganyanyisya, ni liloŵe lyao ngalipikanika mwitala.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Chapunde kwakolela chanasa ŵandu ŵakwete masauko ga kuputikwa kwa nnasi, ni kwakamulisya ntima ŵandu ŵangali machili, mpaka ulamusi waukusachilwa pachiukomboleswe kulamula.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
Ŵandu wose ŵa ilambo yose chakole chilolelo kwa jwelejo.”
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man 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 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be 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 does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Nambo Mafalisayo paŵapilikene gelego, ŵatite, “Mundu ju akugakoposya masoka kwa machili ga Belesebuli jwankulu jwa masoka.”
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will 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 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Iŵaga mpingo umo ukumenyana ni mpingo wine mu umwenye wa Shetani, malumbo gakwe umwenye wo ugaŵanyiche, nipele, chiujime chinauli?
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will 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 by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Nambo iŵaga une ngugakoposya masoka kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, pelepo mmanyilile kuti umwenye wa Akunnungu unnyichilile.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? 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 who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
“Jwalijose jwanganaŵa pamo none, akunganila une ni jwangasonganganya ŵandu pamo none, akwapwilinganya.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Kwa lye ligongo lyo ngunsalila, ŵandu chalecheleswe sambi ni liloŵe lyalili lyose lyakwatukana Akunnungu, nambo juchantukane Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwelejo ngalecheleswa.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is 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 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 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wa majoka! Nkukombola chinauli kusala gambone mwasyene mwaŵaga ŵangalumbana? Pakuŵa mundu akuŵecheta agala gagagumbele mu ntima wakwe.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Mundu jwambone akukoposya gambone mu ngokwe jakwe jambone, ni mundu jwangalumbana akukoposya gangalumbana mu ngokwe jakwe jangalumbana.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgement.
“Nipele, ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula ŵandu chasachilwe kwanga kwa liloŵe lyalili lyose lyangalumbana lyaŵaŵechete.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will 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 Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Nipele, ŵane ŵa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jwakwiganya, tukusaka kulola chimanyisyo kutyochela kukwenu.”
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
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 belly of the huge fish, so will 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 will stand up in the judgement with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone 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 will rise up in the judgement with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone 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 an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
“Lisoka palikunkopoka mundu, likusyungula syungula mwipululu mwangali meesi lichisosaga pakupumulila, nambo lyalepelaga kupata,
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
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 he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil 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 multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Che Yesu paŵaliji aninkwendelechela kukunguluka ni mipingo ja ŵandu, achikulu ŵao ni achalongo ajao ŵaiche ni kwima paasa, ŵasachile kunguluka nawo.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Nipele, mundu jumo ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Achikulu ŵenu ni achalongo ajenu ajimi paasa, akusaka kuŵecheta nomwe.”
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Nambo Che Yesu ŵanjanjile jwele mundu jo kuti, “Ŵaani achikulu ŵangu? Ni ŵaani achalongo ajangu?”
49 He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Che Yesu ŵanlanjile mundu jula ŵakulijiganya ŵao achitiji, “Ŵeleŵa ni ŵaali achikulu ŵangu ni achalongo achinjangu!
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakupanganya yakuisaka Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani, jwelejo ni mpwanga ni mlumbwangu ni achikulu ŵangu.”
