Mateu 13
1 Helyo izuva Jesu avayendi hanze yenzuoo ni kukala kwimbali ye wate.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Inyangela inkando iva kopene kumuzimbuluka, chechila mu chisepe ni kwikala mwateni. Inyangela yonse iva zimene helizo.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Linu Jesu chawamba zintu zingi kuvali mwi nguli. Chati, “Muvone, mubyali avayendi kukubyila.
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 Haba kukavubyala vulyo, imwi umbuto chiyawila kwimbali yenzila, mi zizuni chizakeza chizeza kuilya.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Imwi imbuto iba wili mwivu lya mabwe, uko kuisena iva wani ivu ilingi. Haho fele chiya mena, kakuti ivu kena livatungite.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 Kono izuva hali tanta, zivamenete chiza letuka kakuli kena zivena mihisi, mi chizazuma.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Imwi imbuko iva wili mu kati kezi samu. Masamu amwiya chia kula ni kuzi puputiza,
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Imwi imbuto iba wili mwivu lina hande mi ziva biki vuheke, amwi makumi e kumi nikuhitilila, amwi makumi amana iyanza ni limwina, amwi makumi otatwe.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Eye yo zuwa, mumusiye atekeleze.
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Valutwana chivakeza ni chivati kwa Jesu, “Chinzi howamba kwi nyangela mwinguli?”
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Jesu chetava ni chati kuvali, “Muvahewa inswenelo yaku zuwisisa inkunutu zamuvuso wa kwiulu, kono kuvali kena kevava hewa.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Kakuti yense yo wina, kwali kahewe zingi, mi kakwi zule kwali. Kono yense ya sena, kwali kanyangwe ni chakwete.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Cwale niwamba kubali che nguli, kakuti ni haike vavona, kava vonisisi. Mi nihava zuwa vulyo, kavazuwi, mikava zuwisisi.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Kuvali chipolofita cha Isaya chivezuzilizwa, chita kuti, 'Chotekeleze uzuwa kono kete uzuwisise, chololete uvona, kono kete uvonisise.
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 kakuti vantu inkulo zavo chiza nuna, mi vakukutu kuzuwa, mi vave yali menso avo, ili kiti senzi vavoni ni menso avo, kapa kuzuwa chamatwi avo, kapa kuzuwisisa che nkulo zavo, ili kuti vasandumuke hape, mi nini vavahozi.'
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 Kono chi tonofezwe menso enu, kuti avone; ni matwi enu, kuti azuwe.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Cheniti ni miwambila kuti vungu bwa vapolofita ni vantu valukite vatavela kuvona zintu zimuvona, mi kana vavaziboni. Vatabela kuzuwa zintu zimuzuwa, mi kana vavazizuwi.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Muteke kwi nguli ya mubyali.
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Linu yense muntu hazuwa linzwi lya muvuso kono kali zuwisisi, haho vantu vavi vakeza kwiza kuhinda cha byalite mwi nkulo yakwe. Iyi nji mbuto iva byaliwe kwimbali ye nzila.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Iye yava byalwa hevu lya mabwe njo zuwa linzwi ni kulitambula cho kusanga haho.
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Mi kena mihisi iye mwine kono ukwata vulyo inako zana. Linu manyando kapa kwihaiwa chikwava kwateni chevaka lye nzi, ka sitatale njiho haho.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Yavabyila mukati ke zisamu zamiya, uzu njiyena yozuwa linzi, kono kuvilelela ifasi nikusaka ahulu chifuma zi sina linzwi ni kusaha miselo. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Yavabyilwa he ivu ilotu, uzu njo zuwa linzwi nikuli zuwisisa. Uzu njo vikava miselo, ni yoilima; imwi makumi a kumi nikuhitilila, imwi mashumi akwanisa iyanza ni lyonke, imwi makumi otatwe.
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 Jesu chavaha imwi inguli. Chati. “Muso wa kwiwuulu ukola sina ili muntu yabyali intanga zilotu mwiwa lyakwe.
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Kono vantu nivalele, zila zakwe nazo chizakeza kubya mumukula mukati ka vuloto ni kuyenda.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Linu vuloto havukula mena ni kuvika miselo mukula nawo chiwavoneka.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Valeki vamwine waluwa chivakeza chivati kwali, 'Unkoshangu, kena uvabyali intanga zina hande muluwa lwako? Chinzi hachikuwanika mukula?'
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 Chati kuvali, 'Yonitoyete nja vapangi vulyo,' Vatanga vakwe chivati kwali, 'Cwale usaka kuti tuka zinyukule mwateni?'
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 Mwina luwa chati, 'Nee, kakuti chi mwakanyukula mwateni mukula, pona chimuka nyukulilila ni vuloto.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Muzisiye zikulille hamwina kulindila inkutulo. He nako ye nkutulo kaniwambe kuva kutuli, “Chentanzi munyukolo mukula ni kuisumina mañata kuti uhisiwe, kono mukunganye vuloto muzishete zangu.'””
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 Jesu chawamba imwi inguli kuvali, chati, “Muvuso wa kwiul ukola sina intanga ya masitete iyo muntu yavahindi ni kubyala muluwa lwakwe.
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Iyi imbuto inini kwimbuto zonse. Kono haiva ya byalwa hande, inkando kuzi chalano za muluwa. Ikula iva isamu, mi zizuni ze wulu zikeza kuzaka zizumbo kumitayi yalyo.
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 Jesu linu chavawambila imwi inguli. “Muvuso wakwiulu ukola ili chivilisa icho mwanakazi avahindi ni kukopanya ni ntikanyo zo tatwe za busu konji hakufunduluka.”
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 Zonse inzi zintu Jesu avaziwambi kwinyangela mwinguli. Mi kwanda yenguli kakwina chavawambi kuvali.
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 Iyi ivavi intaelo kuti chonse chiva vawambwa chamupolofita chiwola kuba init. Haho chati, “kaniyalule kaholo kangu mwinguli. Kani wambe zintu zibapatitwe kuzwa kumatangizo inkanda.
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Linu Jesu chasiya chichava nikuya mwinzuvo. Valutwana bakwe chivakeza kwali mi chivati, “Tutolokele inguli ya mufuka mwiwa.”
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 Jesu chetaba chati, “Yababyali intanga zina hande Mwana wa Mulimu.
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Luwa inkanda; Mi intanga zina hande, izi vana va mubuso, mufuka vana va satani.
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 Mi chila chivazibyali nji diavulusi. Inkutulo njimamanimani e nkanda, bakutuli mañiloyi. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Hakuva vulyo, mukula kaukunganye nikuhiswa chamulilo, njete kuve njimamanimani e nkanda. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana muntu ka tumine mañiloi akwe, mikava kunganyeze hanze ya muvuso zintu zonse zileta chivi, niva vapanga vulilala.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 Kavava sohele mwilyanga lilo, uko kavakalile nikukwecha meeno.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Linu bantu balukite kavavenye sina izuva mumubuso weshevo. Iye yowina matwi, musiye atekeleze.
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 Muvuso wa kwiulu ukola ili ibwe lya butokwa lipatitwe muluwa. Muntu abaliwan mi chalipata. Mwintavo ya kwe chayenda, ku uza zintu zonse zavakwete, nikuula ulo luwa.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 Hape muvuso wa Mulimu ukola ili muntu yo patehete kukavulola mabwe abutokwa.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Hawana ibwe lina maemo ena hande, avayendi nikukauza zintu zakwe zonse zava kwete nikuliula.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 Hape, muvuso wa kwiulu ukola ili kanyandi kavasohelwa mwi wate, kavachesi mufutafuta ye zintu.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Linu hakezula, muyambi chaka kwitila hamutunda. Linu chivekala hansi ni ku kunganya zintu zilotu muchiseye, mi zintu zivi zivasohelwa kwimbali.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Mukuve mweyi inzila kumamanimani inkanda. Mañiloi muakeze kukauhanya vavi mukati ka vantu valukite. (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 Kavava sohele mwi bimbililo lya mulilo, kwete vakahye niku kwecha meeno.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Mwazizuwisisa nzose izi zintu?” Valutwana chivati kwali, “Eni, “
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Linu Jesu chati kuvali, “Hakuva vulyo vañoli vonse vavavi valutwana ku muvuso weulu vaswa ili nji muntu yeli mwine we nzuvo. Yozwisa zakale ni zintu zihya muchifumu chakwe.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 Linu nichiya keza kuva vulyo Jesu hamana izi inguli, cha katuka kuzwa mwe chochivaka.
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Linu Jesu che njila muchi kiliti chakwe ni kuluta vantu mumasinagoge avo. Inkalavo ivali kukomokwa ni kuti, “Kanti uzu mutu uwana kuhi vutali ne zi imakazo kuhi?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Uzu muntu kena mwana wa muvezi? Kena vanyina nji Maria? Ni vanche kena nji Jamusi, Josefa, Simone ni Judasi?
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 Ni vanchizya kwe kavakwina mukati ketu? Cwale uzu muntu uwana kuhi zonse izi zintu?”
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Vava vengwiswa kwali. Kono Jesu chati kuvali, “Mupolofita uswanela kukutekiwa kuunde mwinkanda yakwe ni kuvaluhasi lwakwe.
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family.”
58 Mi kena ava pangi imakazo zingi kwateni chevaka lyakuvula intumelo.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
