Matayo 12
1 Bhwakati obhu Yesu alotili ligono lya sabato kup'hetela mumigonda. Bhanafunzi bha muene bha j'hele ni njala na bhakayanda kughadumula masuke ni kulya.
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain-fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of grain, and to eat.
2 Lakini Mafarisayo bho bhabhuene aghu, bhakan'jobhela Yesu “Langai bhanafunzi bha j'hobhi bhifunja sheria bhibhomba ligono lyaliruhusibhu lepi ligono lya Sabato”
But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to him, Lo! thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
3 Lakini Yesu akabhajobhela, “Msomilepi jinsi Daudi kya abhombili, bhwakati aj'hele ni njala, pamonga ni bhana bha aj'he nabhu?
But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry?
4 Namna kyaaj'hingili mgati mu nyumba j'ha K'yara ni mikate ghya bhonyesho, ambaghyo ghyaj'hele lepi halali kwa muene kulya ni bhala bhaaj'hele nabhu, ila halali kwa Makuhani?
how he went into the house of God, and they ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but for the priests alone?
5 Bado musomilepi mu sheria, kuj'ha ligono lya Sabato Makuhani mugati mu lihekalu j'hikainajisi Sabato, lakini bhaj'helepi ni hatia?
Or have ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Lakini nijobha kwa muenga kuj'ha j'ha aj'he mmbaha kuliko hekalu aj'he apa.
But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
7 Kama ngamumanyi ej'he j'himaanisha kiki; nilonda rehema na sio dhabihu ngamubhahukumuili lepi bhabhaduli hatia,
But if ye had known what this meaneth, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Kwa kuj'ha Mwana ghwa Adamu ndij'je Bwana ghwa Sabato.”
For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
9 Kisha Yesu akabhoka pala akalota mu lisinagogi lyabhu.
And departing thence, he went into their synagogue.
10 Langaghe twaj'hele ni munu j'haapozili kibhoko. Mafarisayo bhakankota Yesu, bhakajobha. “'Je, ndo halali kuponesya ligono lya Sabato?” ili bhabhwesiaghe kumshtaki kwa kubhomba dhambi.
And, lo! there was a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
11 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Niani kati j'ha muenga, ambaj'he ikaj'hiaghe ni likondoo limonga, ligono e'lu likabina mu lil'ende ligono lya sabato, ibetalepi kun'kamula ni kumbosya kwa ngofu ligono lya sabato mulil'ende?
And he said to them, Who of you that owneth one sheep, if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it, and lift it out?
12 Je, k'heleku kyakij'hele ni thamani, zaidi hoti, si zaidi j'ha likondoo! Henu ni halali kubhomba manofu ligono lya Sabato.”
Of how much more worth now is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
13 Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela munu y'ola, “Nyoosyaghe kibhoko” Akanyosya, na ukakabha afya, kama bhongi bhola.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored sound as the other.
14 Lakini Mafarisayo bhakap'hita kwibhala ni kupanga jinsi j'ha kunjangamisya bhakalota kwibhala kupanga kinyume kyake. Bhaj'hele bhilonda jinsi j'ha kun'koma.
Then the Pharisees went out, and consulted together against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Yesu bho aj'helibhu e'le akabhoka apu. Bhanu bhingi bhakan'kesya na akabhaponya bhoha.
But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew from thence; and many followed him; and he healed them all,
16 Akabhalaghisya bhasihidi bhakambomba amanyikanai kwa bhangi,
and strictly charged them not to make him known;
17 kwamba j'hitimilayi j'hela kweli, j'haj'hikajobhibhu ni nabii Isaya, akajobha,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Langai, mtumishi bhwangu j'hanin'salili n'ganwa ghwangu, kwa muene nafsi j'ha nene j'hihobhwiki. Nibetakubheka Roho j'hangu panani pa muene, na ibetakutangasya hukumu kwa Mataifa.
“Behold my servant, whom I chose; my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare judgment to the nations.
19 Ibetalepi kuhangaika bhwala kulela kwa ngofu; bhwala j'hoj'hioha j'hola kup'heleka sauti j'ha muene mitaani. Ibetalepi kulidumula lidete lyalichubulibhu;
He will not strive, nor cry aloud, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets.
20 ibetalepi kusimisya bhutambi bhobhuoha bhwabhwihomesya liosi, mpaka pa mwibeta kuleta hukumu na j'hitolaghe.
A bruised reed he will not break, and smoking flax he will not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 Ni Mataifa bhibetakuj'ha ni bhujasiri mu lihina lyake.
And in his name will nations hope.”
22 Munu fulani kipofu ni bubu, j'haapagawa ni pepo aletibhu mbele j'ha Yesu. Amponyisi, pamonga ni matokeo gha munu bubu ajobhili ni kulola.
Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw.
23 Makutano bhoha bhashangale ni kujobha, “J'hibhwesekana munu oj'ho muana ghwa Daudi?”
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David?
24 Lakini pindi Mafarisayo bho bhap'heliki muujiza obho bhakajobha, “Munu oj'ho ibhosya lepi pepo kwa ngofu sya muene isipokuj'ha kwa ngofu sya Belzebuli, m'baha ghwa pepo.
But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This man doth not cast out the demons, except through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.
25 “Lakini Yesu amanyili fikra sya bhene na akabhajobhela, “Kila bhufalme bhwa bhugawanyiki bhuene bhwiharibika, ni khila mji au nyumba j'haj'higawanyika j'hiene j'hij'hema lepi.
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
26 Ikaj'hiaghe Syetani, ibetakumbosya Syetani, basi ikipinga mu nafsi j'ha muene.
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
27 Ni namna gani bhufalme bhwake bhwibeta kuj'hema? Na kama nibhosya pepo kwa ngofu sya Belizabuli, bhafuasi bhinu bhibetakubhosya kwa nj'hela j'ha niani? Kwa ndabha j'ha e'le bhibetakuj'ha mahakimu bhinu.
And if I cast out the demons through Beelzebul, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be judges of you.
28 Na kama nibhosya pepo kwa ng'hofu sya Roho ghwa K'yara, basi bhufalme bhwa K'yara bhuhidili kwa muenga.
But if I cast out the demons through the Spirit of God, then hath the kingdom of God already come to you.
29 Na munu ibetakubhwesya bhuli kuj'hingila mu nyumba j'ha munu mwenye nghofu ni kuh'eja, bila kun'konga mwenye nghofu hosi? Ndipo ibetakuh'eja mali ghakhe kuhoma mugati mu nyumba.
Or how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize upon his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then plunder his house?
30 J'hej'hoiha j'hola j'haabeli kuj'ha pamonga nani aj'he kinyume ni nene, ni j'haibetalepi kubhongan'ya pamonga nani oj'hu itabhwanya.
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Kwa hiyo nijobha kwa muenga, kila dhambi ni kufuru bhana bhibetakusamehebhwa, ila kun'kufuru Roho Mtakatifu bhibetakusamehebhwalepi
Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and evil-speaking will be forgiven to men; but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 . Na j'hej'hioha j'haijobha lilobhi kinyume kya Mwana ghwa Adamu, e'lu libetakusamehebhwa. Lakini j'hej'hioha j'hola j'haijobha kinyume ni Roho Mtakatifu, oj'hu ibetalepi kusamehebhwa mu bhulimwengu obho, na bhwala bhola bhwa bhwihida. (aiōn g165)
And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this world, or in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Ama ubhombaghe libehe kuj'ha linofu ni litunda lyake kuj'ha linofu, au uharibuaj'hi litunda ni libehe lyake, kwa kuj'ha libehe litambulisibhwa kwa litunda lyakhe.
Either say that the tree is good, and its fruit good; or say that the tree is bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers!
34 Muenga kizazi kya liyoka, muenga bhaovu, mwebhwesya bhuli kujobha mambo manofu? Kwa kuj'ha kinywa kijobha kuhoma mu akiba j'ha ghaghaj'hele mu muoyo.
How can ye, evil as ye are, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Munu nnofu mu akiba j'hinofu j'ha muoyo bhwake ghihoma manofu, na munu muovu mu akiba ovu j'ha muoyo bhwake ghwih'omesya kyakyaj'hele kiovu.
The good man, from his good treasure, bringeth out good things; and the evil man, from his evil treasure, bringeth out evil things.
36 Nikabhajobhela kuj'ha mu ligono lya hukumu bhanu bhibetakuh'omesya hesabu j'ha khila lilobhi lyalij'helepi ni maana lyabhalijobhili.
And I say to you, that for every idle word that men shall speak, they will give account in the day of judgment.
37 Kwa kuj'ha malobhi gha j'hobhi ghwibetakubhalangibhwa haki ni kwa malobhi gha j'hobhi ghwibetahukumibhwa.”
For by thy words thou wilt be justified, and by thy words thou wilt be condemned.
38 Kisha baadhi j'ha bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo bhan'jibili Yesu bhakajobha” Mwalimu, tulondeghe kubhona ishara kuhoma kwa bhebhe.” Lakini Yesu akajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Kizazi kiovu na lya zinaa kilonda ishara.
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we wish to see a sign from thee.
39 Lakini j'hij'helepi ishara j'haj'hibetakupisibhwa kwa bhene isipokuj'ha j'hela ishara j'ha Yona nabii.
But he answered and said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation is seeking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Kama vile nabii Yona kyaaj'hele mugati mu lileme lya somba m'baha kwa magono madatu pamusi ni pakilu, hivyo ndivyo Mwana ghwa Adamu kyaibetakuj'ha mugati mu mioyo ghya nchi kwa magono madatu pamusi ni pakilu.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Bhanu bha ninawi bhibetakuj'hema mbele j'ha hukumu pamonga ni kizazi kya bhanu abha ni bhibetakukihukumu. Kwa kuj'ha bhatubuili kwa mahubiri gha Yona, na langai, munu fulani m'baha kuliko Yona apa.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, lo! something more than Jonah is here.
42 Malkia ghwa kusini ibetakujhinuka mu hukumu pamonga ni bhanu bha kizazi e'khe ni kukihukumu. Ahidili kuhoma miisho ghya dunia kuhida kup'heleka hekima j'ha Selemani, na langai, munu fulani m'baha kuliko Selemani aj'hele apa.
The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something more than Solomon is here.
43 Bhwakati pepo bhachafu bhakamboka munu ghip'heta mahali papaj'helepi ni masi ilonda kup'homoseka, lakini akapabhona lepi.
But when the unclean spirit is gone out from a man, it goeth through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
44 Kisha ijobha, “Nibetakherebhuka mu nyumba j'hangu j'hanihomili.' Paikherebhuka akajhikholela nyumba j'hisafishibhu na ij'hele tayari.
Then it saith, I will return to my house whence I came out. And on coming, it findeth it empty, and swept, and put in order.
45 Kisha huenda ni kubhaleta bhangi roho bhachafu saba bhabhaj'hele bhabhibhi zaidi kuliko muene, ghihida kutama ghoha pala. Ni hali j'hiakhe j'ha mwisho huwa j'hibhibhi kuliko j'ha kubhwandelu. Efe ndo kyaj'hibeta kuj'ha kwa kizazi ekhe kiovu.
Then it goeth and taketh with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in, and dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. So will it be also with this wicked generation.
46 Bhwakati Yesu ilongela ni bhumati langai, nyinamunu ni bhalongomunu bhakhaj'hema kwibhala, bhakaj'ha bhilonda kulongela nakhu.
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo! his mother and his brothers were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
47 Munu mmonga akan'jobhela, “Langai nyinuaku ni bhalongobhu bhaj'hemili kwibhala bhilonda kulongela ni bhebhe”.
And one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers are standing without, seeking to speak with thee.
48 Lakini Yesu ni kun'jobhela j'haan'jobheleghe, “Mabhu ndo niani? Ni bhalongobhangu ndo bha niani?”
But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?
49 Nu muene akanyosya kibhokho kya muene kwa bhanafunzi ni kujobha, “Langai abha ndo mabhu ni bhalongobhangu!
And stretching forth his hand toward his disciples, be said, Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Kwa kuj'ha j'hej'hioha j'hola j'haibhomba mapenzi gha Tata ghwangu j'haaj'hele kumbinguni, munu oj'hu ndo ndongobhangu, n'dombo bhangu ni mabhu ghwa nene”.
For whoever doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
