Matayo 12
1 Matungo nanso ailuhiku la Sabato u Yesu akakiila mumigunda. Ia manyisigwa akwe aiatite nzala akandya kubunanga uilo nukulya.
About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.
2 Iafarisayo naiaona nanso ikamuila u Yesu goza iamanyisigwa ako akituma imilimo iyi nisinga itung'wa uluhiku nula Sabato.”
But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, "Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath."
3 U Yesu akaaila magemile ni kuona, u Daudi naiwitumile, matungo naukete inzala, palung'wi niantu naine.
"Have you never read," He replied, "what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 Naiwingie munyumba ang'wi Tunda nukulya, imikate iyo nisinga augombigwe palung'wi niantu naine. Kulya nanso aiagombigwe kulya iakuhani du?
how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?
5 Iza mukili ne kuona muuziipilya wa nkani uluhiku la Sabato, iadimi mitekeelo ituma ubi, musabato, kululo shaiiailigwa kina itumile ubi?
And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
6 Kululo kulunga kitalanyu kina uyu nu mukulu kukila itekeelo ukoli hapa.
But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.
7 Angamuze uulingile iko nikukiligitya kintuni, ndoilwe ulekelwa singa isongeelyo. Singa aimuzeakenkya iantu ulamulwa,
And if you knew what this means, 'It is mercy I desire, not sacrifice', you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.
8 Kunsoko ung'wana wang'wa Adamu yuyo Mukulu wa Sabato.”
For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath."
9 Sunga u Yesu akahega pang'wanso akalongola mitekeelo lao.
Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
10 Goza aukoli muntu amulwae wigandi la mukono, ia Farisayo ikamukolya u Yesu ikalunga. Iza tai ne kuaguna iantu uluhiku la Sabato? Kunsoko ahume kumsemela nukituma imilandu.
where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
11 U Yesu akaila nyenyu kitalanyu nuhumile kuhita kumipumya mikombo inko nigwie uluhiku la Sabato.
"Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
12 Nikiule nikiza nikikilinkie, kukila inkolo! kululo igombigwe kituma nimaza uluhiku la Sabato.
Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Sunga u Yesu akamuila umuntu nuanso, goola umukono nuanso, akaugoola ukakomya anga uuya.
Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other.
14 Kululo ia Farisayo ikapuma kunzi ahume kunonya nzila ya kumulimansilya, akenda kunzi akatula duma nzila akumubulaga ule.
But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.
15 U Yesu naiwalinga ili akahega pang'wanso. Antu idu ikamutyata, hangi akaaguna idu.
Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.
16 Akaaligiilya kina singa ntakile manyike kuantu nia ngiza.
But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,
17 Kina ikondaniligwe itai iyo nailigitigwe nu munyakidagu u Isaya akalunga,
that those words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,
18 Goza umitumi wane nainumuholanilye, mlowa wane kukiila ng'wenso. Inkolo ane iloeigwe kuika inkolo ane kitalakwe, hangi ukutanantya ulamulwa kuantu ihi mihi.
"This is My servant whom I have chosen, My dearly loved One in whom My soul takes pleasure. I will put My spirit upon Him, and He will announce justice to the nations.
19 Shukusiga hangi singa ukupumya ululi lakwe, hangi tile umuntu nukija ululi lakwe munzila.
He will not wrangle or raise His voice, nor will His voice be heard in the broadways.
20 Shukubunanga ulumuli, shukulimisa ulutambi nuipumya ilyuki sunga nuzeleta ulamulwa uhume.
A crushed reed He will not utterly break, nor will He quench the still smouldering wick, until He has led on Justice to victory.
21 Nao nishaizaahuie azetula agimya kukiila lina lakwe.
And on His name shall the nations rest their hopes."
22 Aukole muntu ai mupoku kuna aze kimume, aiwingiwe nu mintunga akatwala pantongeela ang'wa Yesu. Akamuguna, sunga umuntu nuanso akaligitya nukuona.
At that time a demoniac was brought to Him, blind and dumb; and He cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
23 Umilundo wihi ukakuilwa, nukulunga, “Ihumikile umuntu yu ng'wana wang'wa Daudi?”
And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"
24 Ingi gwa ia Farisayo naiija uukuilwa uwu, akalunga uyu shukenda azunsa iamintunga na ngulu yakwe, weenda azunsa kukiila mkulu wa amintunga.
The Pharisees heard it and said, "This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons."
25 U Yesu akalinga imasigo ao akaaila utemi nuutemanukile, wigazika, ni kisali ang'wi nyumba nitemanukile singa imika.
Knowing their thoughts He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.
26 Ang'wi umubi ukumuheja umubi, ingi ukigilya ung'wenso munkolo akwe.
And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?
27 Ukimika ule utemi wakwe? Ang'wi nizunsa iamintunga kungulu ya mkulu wa amintunga, aiantu anyu iazunsa kungulu yang'wa nyenyu? Kunsoko aili azetula alamuli anyu.
And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
28 Ang'wi kuzunsa iamintunga kungulu yang'wa ng'waung'welu wang'wi Tunda, ingi gwa utemi wang'wi Tunda wazaa kitalanyu.
But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 U muntu uhumile ule kingila mito la munyangulu nukia, ahite kumtunga hanza umunyangulu? Pang'wanso ukuhuma kia gwa imiantu nakule mung'wanso.
Again, how can any one enter the house of a strong man and carry off his goods, unless first of all he masters and secures the strong man: then he will ransack his house.
30 Uyu nisingaiza kigombiliye singaizukoli palung'wi nunene, nuyu nishawilingiila palung'wi nunene wisambailya.
"The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
31 Kululo kulunga iti kitalanyu, milandu nuimeli iantu azizalekilwa imilandu, ingi gwa kumumela ung'waung'welu shuzizalekelwa imilandu.
This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.
32 Muntu wihi nuipiula ukani la ng'wana wang'wa Adamu, wilekilwa imilandu ingi gwa uyu nuipiula inkani ya ng'waung'welu nuanso shawilekelwa imilandu, muunkumbigulu uwu nuo nuuzile. (aiōn g165)
And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness." (aiōn g165)
33 Ang'wi unonye umuti kutula uza nindya yakwe nza, ang'wi uugazanje umuti nuludya lakwe, kunsoko umuti wimanyika kulu dya lakwe.
"Either grant the tree to be wholesome and its fruit wholesome, or the tree poisonous and its fruit poisonous; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Unye wileli wa nzoka miabi, muhumile uli kuligitya inkani ninza? Kunsoko ikimilo kimaligitya ayo nakoli munkolo.
O vipers' brood, how can you speak what is good when you are evil? For it is from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks.
35 Umuntu numuza nikiuto nikiza nikankolo akwe kipumya nimaza, numuntu numubi mukiuto nikibi nikankolo akwe, kipumya nikibi.
A good man from his good store produces good things, and a bad man from his bad store produces bad things.
36 Kumuila kina uluhiku la ulamulwa iantu azepumya intendo yao izo naiituma nisingaaiza nziza.
But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.
37 Kua nkani yako uzeailigwa tai, hangi kuankani yako uzepegwa ulamulwa wako.”
For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned."
38 Iaika nkani ni Mafarisayo, akamuila u Yesu akalunga “Mumanyisi azakuloilwe kuona kilingasilyo kitalako”
Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you."
39 Ingi gwa u Yesu akasusha akaila, “Wileli nuabi nuausambo kikuduma kilingasiilyo. Kutile ikilingasiilyo nikikupumigwa kitalao, ingi kiki naikipumiigwe nu munyakidagu u Yona.
"Wicked and faithless generation!" He replied, "they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
40 Anga umunyakidagu u Yona naukole munda ansamaki mahiku atatu utiku nu mung'wi. Kuiti uu ung'wana wang'wa Adamu uzize ukole mukati ihi mahiku atatu mung'wi nuutiku.
For just as Jonah was three days in the sea-monster's belly, so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.
41 Antu a Ninawi akimika pantongeela aulamulwa palung'wi nu wileli wa antu awa apegwe ulamulwa wao. Kunsoko aialekile imilandu pautananti wang'wa Yona. Goza ukole muntu mukulu kukila u Yona apa.
There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.
42 Musungu wa mutemi nuakutakama ukuuka muulamulwa palung'wi niantu awileli uwu, nukukipa ulamulwa. Auzile kupuma mumpele ihi kuza kija uhugu wang'wa Selemani, hangi goza ukole muntu mukulu kukila Selemani ukoli apa.
The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.
43 Matungo numintunga numubi nuimlekela umuntu, wikiila pana kutile imazi, wizeduma kusupya shawipaona.
"No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.
44 Sunga wilunga kusuka munyumba ane nazampumie, nusukile wihanga inyumba akondaniligwa kupyagulwa.
Then he says, 'I will return to my house that I left;' and he comes and finds it unoccupied, swept clean, and in good order.
45 Sunga wilongola kuityata nkolo ngiza mpungate nimbi kukila nuanso, yize yikie yihi apo. Hangi witula mubi kukukila nuang'wandyo. Ite uu uzetula muwileli uwu nubi.
Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation."
46 Matungo u Yesu naukuligitya numilundo, goza, unyinya nianyandugu akwe akimika kunzi, akazeduma kuligitya nung'wenso.
While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.
47 Muntu ung'wi akamuila, uyiaaka nialuna ake imikile kunzi, akaduma kuligitya nuewe.”
So some one told Him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you."
48 U Yesu akamuila umuntu nuanso uiane nyenyu? Nialuna ane anyenyu?
"Who is my mother?" He said to the man; "and who are my brothers?"
49 Akagoda umukono wakwe kuamanyisigwa akwe akalunga, goza awa ingi lane nianya ndugu ane!
And pointing to His disciples He added, "See here are my mother and my brothers.
50 Kunsoko wihi nuituma ulowa wang'wa Tata ane nuakigulu, nuanso yuyo munyandugu ane ng'waitu nu iane.”
To obey my Father who is in Heaven--that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother."
