< Matthew 19 >

1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba, walafumako ku Galileya, walaya mucibela ca Yudeya kutala kwa mulonga wa Yolodani.
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
Nomba likoto lya bantu lyalamukonkela, kopeloko walasengula balwashi bangi.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Bafalisi nabambi balesa kuli Yesu pakuyanda kumutapa mukanwa pakumwipusheti, “Sena casuminishiwa mu Mulawo, muntu kuleka mukashendi pa cebo ciliconse?”
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena nkamuna mubelengapo kwambeti kumatatikilo, Mulengi walabalenga mutuloba ne mutukashi?”
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
Neco walambeti, “Ecebo cakendi mutuloba nakashiye baishi ne banyina, ne kuya kupamankana ne mukashendi, neco bantu babili aba nibakabeti mubili umo?”
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
Neco nkabacilipo babili sobwe, nsombi mubili umo, palico Lesa ncalapamankanya pamo kapataba muntu shikupansanya.
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
Basa Bafalisi balamwipusheti, “Inga Mose walambila cani kwambeti mutuloba welela kupa mukashendi cipepala cakumuleka?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Mose walamusuminisha kuleka ba makashenu, pakwinga kumwiyisha amwe cayuma, nsombi kumatatikilo a cindi, nkacali kubeco sobwe”
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
Lino ndamwambilishingeti, “Uliyense lalekenga mukashendi pacebo ciliconse, cabula kuba mulandu wabupombo, ne kuya kweba naumbi, ukute mulandu wabupombo.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
Beshikwiya bakendi balamwambileti, “Anu nacilico pakati pa mulume ne mukashendi, cilicena kwikala bunkonta.”
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Ciyisho ici nkacelela kutambulwa cena ne bantu bonse sobwe, nsombi abo bonka balapewa.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Pali bintu bingi bikute kupa bantu kuteba batukashi, nabambi encobalasemwa, nabambi nicebo cakulakilwa kakowa pamukombo, pali nabambi balasala bene bonka kuteba kwambeti basebensele cena Lesa. Uyo welela kucikonsha kukonkela ciyisho ici, akonkele.”
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
Nabambi bantu balaleta bana babo kuli Yesu kwambeti abike makasa akendi palyendibo, ne kubapailila, nomba beshikwiya bakendi balabakalalila.
14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
Nomba Yesu walambeti, “Balekeni bana bese kuli njame, kamutabakanishanga sobwe, pakwinga Bwami bwakwilu ni bwa bantu bali mbuli aba.”
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Popelapo walabika makasa palyendibo, panyuma pakendi walafumapo.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Mutuloba naumbi walesa kuli Yesu ne kumwipusheti, “Bashikwiyisha, ni cipeyo cintu caina ncondelela kwinsa kwambeti nkacane buyumi butapu?” (aiōnios g166)
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Nendi Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Inga ulanjipushilinga cani sha cintu caina pakwinga pali umowa Waina? Na usuni kucana buyumi butapu, konkela Milawo.”
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
Nendi walepusheti, “Milawo cini?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Kotashina, kotapombola, kotaiba, kotapa bukamboni bwabwepeshi,
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
lemekesha baiso ne banyoko, kayi suna munobe mbuli ncolisuni omwine.”
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
Usa muntu walambeti, “Milawo yonseyi ndalatatika kwikonkela kufuma kaindi, inga ncondicili ndabulilwa nicani kayi?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Na ulayandanga kuba muntu walulama, koya ulishe bintu byonse mbyokute. Mali ngoshucanemo uyabile bapenshi, buboni bwakobe nukabucane kwilu, wapwisha kwinseco, wise unkonke.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
Usa muntu mpwalanyumfwa maswi awo walafumapo kali wongumana mumoyo, pakwinga walikuba mubile cikamba.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, nicapatali ku muntu mubile kwingila mu Bwami bwakwilu.”
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Kayi ndambangeti, “Nicapafupi munyama munene ukute kukwiweti ngamila kupita mukamulyango ka nyeleti, kupita muntu mubile kwingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
Beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweco, balakankamana ne kwambeti, “Anu na cilico, nomba niyani wela kupuluka?”
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Yesu walabalangishisha walambeti, “Ibi nkabikonsheke ne bantu sobwe, nsombi bintu byonse bikute kukonsheka ne Lesa.”
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Popelapo Petulo walakumbulapo, “Afwe twalashiya bintu byonse ne kumukonkela, nomba afwe lino ni tukatambulepo cani?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, Lesa akabibambulula cena bintu byonse, Mwana Muntu nakekale pa Cipuna cakendi ca Bulemeneno ca Bwami, ne njamwe omulankonkelenga ni mukekale pa bipuna likumi ne bibili bya Bwami, kamombolosha mikowa likumi ne ibili ya Baislayeli.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Neco uliyense walashiya ng'anda, bakwabo batuloba, nambi nkashi, nambi baishi, nambi banyina, nambi banabendi, nambi mabala pacebo cakame, uyo nendi nakatambule bingi byapita tunkanda mwanda, panyuma pakendi kayi nakapewe buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
Nomba abo pa cino cindi bali kuntangu nibakabe kunyuma, kayi abo bali kunyuma pacino cindi, nibakabe kuntangu.”
