Matai 12
1 Unsiekhi guula uYesu alutile akhageenda mufjalo ya vanu ielinchuva ilya sabato. Avankhongi va mwene vale nienjala pwu valiekhudenya isoncho ncha nganu valiekhusegheya mu mavokho valiekhulya.
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 Avafalisayo vuvaloliele ewo, vakhambula uYesu vakhata “Ulole avankongi vakho vanangile ululagielo vivombo inchusanchinogiewa ukhumba ilinchuva ilya 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 Pwu uYesu akhavavula akhata, “Samwiembile inchu uDaudi avombile unsienkhe uuguale nie njala, na vanu vamwene uvuale nawo?
"Have you never read," He replied, "what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 Vwuingile munyumba iya Nguluve alikhulya ikhisyesye, khikyo sakyale kyakhula na vanu uvuale nawo, kyale kyankhula avate nkhenchi vene?
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 Khange samwimbile ululagielo ukhuta avatekhendu mugaati muntembile vikhuyibeda ei Sabato, ulwa khuva valievuvule uvuvivi?
And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
6 Pwu nikhuva vula umwe ikhuta umbaha ukhulutielila ietembile pwale aapha.
But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.
7 Mwale mulumanye eile khikhuta khikhi; une nilondo iekhisa sahielonda iefyakhusa; samukhale munkhuvahiga vavo valie vuvule ienongwa,
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 Ulwa khuva umwana va Adamu veimwene inkhuludeva va Sabato.”
For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath."
9 U Yesu pwankhahega pala akhaluta muntembile yavene.
Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
10 Lola pwu ale umunu uvyaposile inkhivokho. Pwu vankhambuncha uYesu vankhata, “Ndayiva lweli unkhumponia umunu eilinchuva ilya Sabato?” Valiekhunogwa ukhusitakha ukhuta avombile imbivi.
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 ankhavavula, “Veni umunu yuywa angave nie ng'osi yiengile ndiguli eilinchuva ilya Sabato, sakhawesye ukwingile mugaati ndiguli mukhuyihumya na makha eing'osi mundieguli?
"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 Khiliekhu iekhienunu ukhulutielila khuo ng'osi! Pwu yiva lweli ukhumba inonu ielinchuva ilya Sabato.”
Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
13 wu akhambula umunu unla akhata, “Husya iekhievokho kyakho” Akhahusya iekheivokho nkhapona khinkha khwanana niekhieniena.
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 Avafalisayo vankhahuma nkhunji ankhanchovana vankhidihana umwakhumbudiela pwu vankhahuma khunji vuvikhwidihana ukhubuda.
But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.
15 U Yesu wanchimanyile ienchi ankhahuma ankhahega apo. Pwu avanu avingi vavo vankonga, ankhavaponia voni.
Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.
16 Ankhabencha unkhuta valenkhage ukhuvavula avanu ynkhuta umwene vyavaponninche.
But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,
17 Ukhuta linkhongane nielivanchovile unyamalago u Isaya, ukhuta,
that those words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,
18 Mulolage umbombi vango uvieniegaanile une muugaati munumbula yango niengaaniele. Nivieka inumbula yango muugaati mumwene, unkhuta avavulaghe avanyampaji uvuhiegi.
"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 Salatabeikha hange nukhuliela na mankha; hange asikhuli uyakhiva ipuliekha iliemenyu lyamwene munjila.
He will not wrangle or raise His voice, nor will His voice be heard in the broadways.
20 Saladeenya aligugu alepunuikhe; salanchimya ikhiesikhi eikhihumya eilyosi, ukhuduga uvuhiegi ukhuwesya.
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 Avanyapanji pwu vivinchaga va nuhuvila munditawa ilyamwene.
And on His name shall the nations rest their hopes."
22 Pwu vankhandetela umunu uvyabifwile amiho ububu, unyaniepo imbivi khwa Yesu. Unkhuta anjaviele akhanjaviela akhapona, umunu ula akhapona ankhalola nunkhuchova.
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 Avanu aviingi voni valienkhudegha nu nkhunchova, unkhuta “Uyu samwana va Daudi?”
And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"
24 Avafalisayo vuvapuliekhe ienkhiedego iekhi, vakhata, “'Umunu uyu sihencha imepo imbivi khumakha agha mwene yuywa iekhencha khumankha aga Belzebuli, umbaha va mepo.
The Pharisees heard it and said, "This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons."
25 “U Yesu aghamanyiele amasago gavene akhavavula akhata, “'Inkhilunga nkhingasambunkhilanile kyene khinangienkha, uvujeenge uwa nyumba vungalekhehane vuwa savukhieme.
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 Iengave Usetano inkhung'encha Usetano uniene, pwu iva inkheihambula yuywa mumbwumi uwamwene.
And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?
27 Khunjiela yieliekhu uvutwa uwa mwene vuliemiekhiwa? Inave ihencha imepo imbivi khumakha aga Belizabuli, avankongi avanwene pwu vihumya khunjila yieliekhu? Khulugendo ulu valavavalamuli.
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 Inave iehencha iemepo imbivi khumakha aga a Mepo uva Nguluve, uludeva ulwakhukyanya lwiva lwinchile khulyumwe.
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 Umunu ikwingila ndakhiekhi munyumba yamunu unyamakha nukhuhiencha, vusankhungile umunu unyamakha? Pwi weesya ukhuhiencha ifinu munyumba.
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 Umunu uvieavenchaga yuywa salielipupaninie nune pwu iva alivuunge nune, hange uviesilundamania nune uywa vieihasania. (itaga)
"The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
31 Pwu nienchova nkhulyumwe, eimbivi eiyavienchaga nulubedo avanu visyiekhiliwagwa, pwu ukhumbeda uMepo umbalanche uywa salasyiekhiliwa.
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 Uvieavinchaga uvieinchova eilimenyu vunge nu mwana va Adamu, ielyo lisyiekhiliwa. Hange uviavenchaga uvieinchova vunge khu Mepo umbalanche, uywa salasyiekhiliwa mukhilunga iekhi, na khikhilunga ikhikyuncha. (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 Pwu uvombe umbinki ukhuva guuve ni nsenkhe inonu, apange unange uguu nange umbinkhi ugwa sekhe na nchisekhe ncha yene, ulwa khuva umbinkhi gwumanyiekhikha nisenkhe ncha yene.
"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 Umwe mwivaholilwa va njonkha, umwe mulievavivi, ndamuwesya ukhunchova imbombo inonu? Ulwa khuva undomo gwinchova inchihuma munumbula yamunu.
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 Umunu unonu munumbula yamwene inchueivikhile inchova inonu, numunu umbivi munumbula yamwene inchova imbivi inchuiviekhile.
A good man from his good store produces good things, and a bad man from his bad store produces bad things.
36 Lino pwu ninkhuvavula ukhuta khila limenyu ilyuinchova umunu lya lahomya eimbalilo ilinchuva eilyavuhieghi.
But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.
37 Ulwa khuva khumamenyu ghankho ulavalieliwa imbalielo khuvuyilweli wa mamenyu ghako ulahiegiewa.”
For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned."
38 Pwu avanklani na Vafalisayo vakhamwa khwa Yesu vakhata “Imanyisi, twinogwa twale tulole iekhimanyielo ukhuhuma khulwuve.”
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 Hange uYesu akhamula nu khuvavula, “Uvuholwa uvuvivi ikya vuliigu khilondo eikhimanyielo. Khisikhuli inkhiemanyilo eikyakhiva khihumila khuvene khumbe ikhiemanyilo ikya Yona unyamalago.
"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 Nduvu unyamalago uYona atamile mulitumbu eilya somba eimbaha amanchuva ghaatadatu pamusi na pakhilo, vule vule umwana va Adamu wayiva mughati munumbula ya nkhilunga khumanchuva ghadatu pamusi na pankhilo.
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 Avanu avakhu Ninawi valiema pavulongolo pavuhieghi pwu paninie na vaholwa avalieno ava. Ulwa khuva vavombile imbivi vakhapela wie lumbiliela u Yona, ulwa khuva khwale apa umunu umbaha ukhulutielila khwa Yona.
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 Unkhuludeva undala uvakhusikha alatogha pwu paninie khuvuhieghi na vanu avakhivumbukho iekhi nukhukhihiega ukhuta valie nimbivi. Ulwa khuva umwene akhumile uluvafu ulwa khuvusilielo wa nkhilunga ukhwincha khupuliehiencha uluhala ulwa Selemani, lola apa pwale umunu umbaha uvalutielile khwa Selemani.
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 Vui imepo imbivi vunchi huma khumunu, nchihumili apoonu upwu ghasipali amaghasi vughilonda apakhughataluka, humbe pasipali.
"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 Pwu nchita, 'nighodonkha khukhaya ukhuniehumile khunyumba yango iyounihumile.' Vuikhilivukha pwivona inyumba iela yiekhuniwe yieviekhiwe vunonu.
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 Pwu iluuta inchikhunchi ghegha inchinghe imepo imbivi saba imbivi ukhulutielila khumwene, pwu nchikhwicha nchitamaga numwene upwa lyiepo. Umwakhavelile pakhusila pwu iva pavuvivi huba pavutengulielo. Vuyakhieva khiva ikhievumbukho ikhie eikhivivi.
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 U Yesu vuinchova na vanu avinghi, uvanina navalukhololwe vaeimile khunji, valiekhunogwa ukhunchova nave.
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 Umunu yumo akhaluta akhambula, “Akha ujyuva vako navalukhololwo veimile panchi, vinkhukhulonda vinogwa ukhunchova nuve”.
So some one told Him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you."
48 Akhamula akhata uvyambulile ujyuva vango veini? na valukholo lwango veini?”
"Who is my mother?" He said to the man; "and who are my brothers?"
49 Umwene akhinula iekhievokha kya mwene khuvakhongi vamwene akhanchova, “Lola, uyou vie jyuva vango navalunkholo lwango!
And pointing to His disciples He added, "See here are my mother and my brothers.
50 Ulwa khuva umunu uvieivombo uwieghane wa Dada vango vuuakhukyanya, umunu uyou vilukholo lwango, ving'anchavango hange vijyuva vango”.
To obey my Father who is in Heaven--that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother."
