1 Hakaboola kwaKapernauma kuzwa hamazubazana, kubazuweekete kuti abena kumunzi.
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
2 Chobulyo buungi bubakungene kwateni kuti mane kanakubasina ni chibaka, mane nanga hamulyango, mi Jesu nawamba liinzwi kubali.
And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Linu bakwame babezi kwali babaletete mukwame yabazuminine luñañali; bantu boone babamuyengete.
And four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 Habakangwa kusika hafuhi naye chebaka lyachisi, chibazwisa chituwa hewulu lyamwabalikwina. Chinga basha ilindi mwateni, ni bashulumuna bulo habalele yozuminine luñañali.
And when they could not bring him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Chakubona intumelo yabo, Jesu chati kumuntu yozuminine luñañali, “Mwanangu, zive zako zawondelwa.”
And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
6 Linu bamwi bañoli babekele mo, chibalichiula munkulo zabo,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Kwizabule kuti uzu muntu awambe cheyi nzila? Unyefula! Yowola kuswalela zive mbwiteri Ireeza yeyena?”
"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8 Mi Jesu hahobulyo neziba muluhuho lwakwe zibabali kuzeza munkulo zabo. Nichati kubali, “Chinzi hamukwete kuzeza bulyo munkulo zenu?
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Njechihi chihuba kuwamba kuyozuminine luñañali, 'Zive zako zawondelwa' kamba kuwamba kuti, 'Zime, hinde bulo bwako, mi uyende'?
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
10 Imi kuti mwizibe kuti Mwana Muntu wina maata hansi okuwondela zive,” nawambila yozuminine luñañali,
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,
11 “Niwamba kwako, zime, hinde bulo bwako, mi uyende kunzubo yako.”
"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
12 Chazima mi hahobulyo nahinda bulo, ni kuzwa munzubo habusu bwazumwi ni zumwi, kokuti bonse babamakali mi nibaha intumbo kwa Ireeza, mi nibati, “Kana tubeeni kubona chintu chiswana nechi.”
And he arose immediately, and took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Nayenda hape kumbali yewate, mi chisi chonse nicheza kwali, mi na baruta.
And he went out again by the seaside. All the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14 Mukuhita kumbali, nabona Levi mwana wa Alufeya nekele hetente lya mutelisi, mi nati kwali, “Nichilile.” chazima ni kumwichilila.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
15 Mi Jesu habali kulya zilyo munzuvo ya Levi, Batelisi baangi ni bantu bezwile zive babali kulya ni Jesu ni barutwana bakwe, mukuti babali baangi mi nibamwichilila.
It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Linu bañoli bamulao, babali baFalisi, hababona kuti Jesu ukwete kulya ni batendi bazive ni batelisi, nibawamba kubarutwana bakwe, “Chinzi halya ni batelisi ni bantu bezwile zive?”
And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
17 Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo nacho kubali, “Bantu bakolete mumubili kabasuni iñanga; mbwiteli balwala njibaisaka. Kananibakezi kukusumpa bantu bashiyeme, kono kubantu bezwile zive.”
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Barutwana ba Johani ni baFalisi babali kulinyima zilyo. Imi bantu bamwi babezi kwali ni kumuti, “Chinzi barutwana ba Johani ni barutwana babaFalisi habalinyima zilyo, mi bako barutwana kabalinyimi zilyo?”
And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"
19 Jesu chacho kubali, “Kana kuwoleka kuti bantu bena hamukiti wamaseso balinyime zilyo musesi nasina nabo? Kubona bulyo musesi uchina nabo, kabawoli kulinyima zilyo.
And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Kono mazuba akezite akuti musesi nazwiswe kubali, mi mwao mazuva, kabalinyime zilyo.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21 Kakwina muntu yolukila kabbali kakajira kanhya hejira ikulukulu, kundeyobulyo chikamba chinhya muchihaluke ko, chinhya kuchikulukulu. Mi kakube muhalukilo mubilala.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Kakwina muntu yobika iwaine inhya muchibikilo chewaine chikulkulu chamadalo, kundeyobulyo iwaine muiñatule madalo, mi bubeli bwewaine ni madalo ewaine kazisinyehe. Chovulyo, mubike iwaine inhya mwidalo inhya lyewaine.”
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."
23 Lensabata Jesu nichahita muluwa lwabuheke, mi barutwana bakwe nibatanga kutola mitwi yabuheke.
And it happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Mi bafalisi nibamucho, “Lole, chinzi habachita chintu chisali chamulao mwizuba Lensabata?”
And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
25 Nacho kubali, “Kana chimubabalite chabachiti Dafita hababulite ni kufwa inzala—iye ni bakwame baabena nabo—
And he said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 Mwabenjilili munzubo ya Ireeza Abbiyatare habali mupurisita yohanzi, mi abaali chinkwa chakubako, ili chisali chamulao kuti zuhi no zuhi alye kunde yamapurisita, mi mane naha kwateni amwi kwabana babena naye?”
How he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"
27 Jesu nati, “Insabata ibalundilwa bantu, isinyi bantu kulundilwa Insabata.
And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
28 Chobulyo, Mwana muntu Simwine, nanga weNsabata.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
