Malekha 4
1 Pwu akhatengwa ukhumanyisya mu ndakhanji mu nyanja. Ululundamano ulwalundamine lukhanjongula, akhingela mu mbwato munyanja, nu hutama. Ululundamano lyoni lwale mundokanji mu nyanja.
And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Pwu akhavamanyisya imbombo nyingi khu fikhwani, akhanchova khuvene.
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Ukhuta, mupolikhenchage undemi alotile khuvyala.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Vwu ivyala, inchinge imbeyu ncha gwile mu njela, ifidege fikhincha fikhanchilya.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mu lunalawe, bakho wlifu lyale lidebe, pwu jikhaniala, ulwakhuva elifu lyale lidebe.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Pwu ulunchuva volwivala, nchikhaniala, ulwakhuva nchale bula milela, nchikhoma.
And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mmatoni. Amatoni khakola sanchikhahopo isekha nchochoni.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile palifu elinonu, nchikhahopa isekhe vwu vunchikhula, inchinge nchakhopile thelathini nu khulutelela, inchinge sitini, inchinge mia.”
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Pwu akhanchova, “Yeyoni unyambulukhutu incha khupulikha, apulekhage!”
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 Yiisu vu alemwene, vavo vale pipi nu mwene, navala kumi na vavele vakhambuncha ukhukhongana ni vikhwani.
And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Akhanchova khuvene, “Umwe mpevilwe uvayelweli uvwa ludeva lwa Nguluve. Khu vavo vale honji khela khenu khuvene fihwani,
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 Pwu vovilola, lweli vilola, savikhokhe vona, vovipulekhe, vipulikha, savikhwaliwa, manya vakhavisyetukha pwu Unguluve akhale ikhovasyekhela.”
that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Ukhuta samukhemanyile ekhekhwani ekhe? Pwu mukhweliwaga ifikhwani ifinge?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Unyakhovyala avyalile elimenyu.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Avange vovala avagwile munjela, bakho elimenyu lyavyaliwe. Vwu vapolikhe akhincha u Setano akhaletola elimenyu lelyo lyavyaliwe muvene.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Avange vovala vavovavyaliwe pakhyanyu pa lunalawe, avene voviholepulekha elimenyu, nambeve vikhupelela nulokhovokho.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Viva vovovle imilela mugati muvene pwu vikheyomelencha unsekhe unsupi vu lwikhwincha alogelo nu khugata nchiwa khu limenyu. Pwu vikhekho vencha.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Avange vovala avanyaliwe mumatoni vikholepulikha elumenyu.
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 Pwu ukhugatanchiwa ne khelunga, uvosyovi uvwa fyome, nu vonogwe uvwa mbombo inchinge nchikhovingela elimenyu lilemwa ukhuhupa isekhe. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Pwu khuvale vavo vavyaliwe mu ndifu elinonu. Vikholepulekha elimenyu nu khuleopelela vikhopa isekha: avange thelathini, avange sitini, na avange mia moja.”
And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 Yiisu akhavavola, “Vwa wigega ulumuli mbunchenge nukhuluvekha pasi pa khetundu, ama pasi pavogono? Pwu vukhulugega ulumuli nukhuluvekha pakhanya pa khetalati.
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Ulwa khuva khesikholi khyohyoni khekhyo khefikhime khekhyo sakhe khamanye khene, lesipali lelyo lefikhime lelyo salekhave pavuvalafu.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Avange pwale unyambulukhutu inchipulekha, apolekhage!”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 Akhavavola muvinchage mikho na lelyo mupulekha, ulwakhuva ekhemwipimila khemulapimiliwa na yomwe nu khulutelela.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Ulwa khuva uvealenakhyo, yikhwupela ekheluyelile, na yoywa ale vovole ukhukhuma khumwene yafitoliwa na fifyo alenafyo.”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Pwu akhata, “Uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhwanine nu munu uveavyalile embeyu mu ndifu.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Vwa agonelile pakhelo nu khusisimukha panavusikhu, pwu embeyu nchikhamela nu khukula, ndave salomanyile umuyekhomile.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Ekhelunga khihomya embeyu, gitala amani; vwukhwincha uvuluva, pwu, nchikhonga embeyu inchidolwikhe.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Embeyu vuyekholile nu khuvefula pwu egega emundu, ulwa khuva misekhegha khubena.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Pwu akhata, “Tuvukhwananinche uludeva lwa Nguluve ne khenu kheli, tuvunchanganule ne khekhwani khehi?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Vule nde mbegu eya haladali, yeyo yavyaliwe incha khelunga.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Na pakho yevyaliwe, yikhula nu khuva mbakha ukhulutelela embeyu nchoni, pwu yipasa isyamba imbakha, ifidege fya khukyanya finchenga uvufumba mu khenchimela.”
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Khu fikhwani fingi amanyisye nu hunchova elimenyu khuvene, ndamumwa valekhumweliwa,
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Sa anchove navo bila fikhwani. Ulwa khuva vu alemwene, akhavavola khela khenu avakhongi va mwene.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Pa linchuva elyo, imisekhe gha lyakhemikhe, akhanchova khuvene, “Tuvukhe emwambo eyenge.”
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 Pwu vakhalulekha ululundamano, vakhantola u Yiisu, imisekhe egyo vualemumbwato. Uwato uvunge vukhava paninie.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Emepo enyakhuluguto, amagasi.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 U Yiisu ale pa shetri, agonelile. Vakhansisimula, vakhata, “Mmanyisi, savusaga ufye twifwa?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Pwu akhasisimukha, akhayebencha emepo nu khuyevola enyanja, '“Yeve mie, nu lunonchehecho.” Emepo yekhelekhelwa, khuva mie.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Khehi mundwada? Mulevovole ulwidikho?”
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 Vakhava nuludwado ulwakha munumbula incha vene vakhenchofanya, “Veni oyo, ulwa khuva emepo ne nyanja fikhomwedekha?”.
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
