Mateu 15
1 Linu Vafalisi ni bañoli bamwi babezi kwa Jesu kuzwa Jerusalema. Nivati,
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees that were of Jerusalem, saying:
2 “Chinzi varutwana bako havaluta chisiyakulu chabatanzi? Mukuti kabashanji mayanza avo habalya.”
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 Jesu abetavi mi navawambila kuti, linu inwe - hamurwisa idaezo ze Reeza ivaka lyachisiyakulu chenu chinzi?
But he answered and said to them: And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 Mukuti Ireeza avati, 'Uhe ikute kweso ni nyoko,' mi 'Iye yowamba bubilala kwesi ni nyina, ikumbya kafwe.'
For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
5 Kono mute kuti, 'Yense yeti nati kubesi ni banyina, “Ituso yonse yimubali kuyelele kuwana kwangu linu chili impo iya kweReeza,”
But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might profit you, is a gift, he must in no way honor his father or his mother;
6 uzo muntu kayelele kukuteka besi. Chenzila yina bulyo wazimbuluka inzwi lye Reeza chevaka lachisayakulu chenu.
and you make the commandment of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.
7 Inwe balihele, Isaya avapolofiti chakusima kazenu havati,
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 Aba bantu banikuteka chatuholo twavo, kono inkulo zabo zina kule name.
This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 Banilapela ni basawani chimwi, kakuli itumelo ivaruta izimene hetaelo zamuntu.”
But in vain, do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
10 Linu chalisupila ikunga ni kuliwambila kuti, “Mutekeleze ni kuzuwisisa -
And he called the multitude to him, and said to them: Hear and understand;
11 Kakwina chinjila mukaholo chiizuza muntu ikwe. Muchibaka chobulyo, chizwa mukaholo, njecho chiizuza muntu ikwe.”
That which enters the mouth does not defile the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12 Linu barutwana babezi ni kuwambila Jesu, “Kana wizi kuti bafalisi babanyelwa habazuwa ichi chiwambo?”
Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended?
13 Jesu avetavi mi nati, “Chimenantu chonse chasanaavabyali Tayo wakwiwulu kachinyukulwe ni kusohelwa kunze. Mubasiye bobona, bahitili bazihofu.
But he answered and said: Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Mi heva muhofu nahitila muhofu kunine, vonse kabawile mwilindi.”
Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
15 Pitorosi avetabi mi nati kwa Jesu, “Tutolokele iyi nguli.”
But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying.
16 Jesu nati, “nanwe muchiikele nimusena inkutwisiso?
Jesus replied: Are you also yet without understanding?
17 Inwe kamuboni kuti chonse chiinjila mukaholo chihita kuya mwibumu mi linu chikazwa kuya muchimbuzi?”
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the sink?
18 Kono zintu zizwa mukaholo zizwa kunkulo. Nji zintu ziizuza muntu ikwe.
But those things which go out from the mouth, come from the heart; and these defile the man.
19 Kakuli munkulo kuzwa mihupulo mibilala, vwihai, bubuki, zakusomana, busa, kupaka zamapa, ni kutukana.
For from the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, lewd actions, thefts, false testimonies, impious words.
20 Ezi nji zintu ziizuza muntu ikwe. Kono kulya ni mayanza asasambite kakwiizuzi muntu ikwe.”
These are the things that defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21 Linu Jesu chayenda kuzwa mwecho chibaka kulikungula ni kuya muzikiliti zamileñi iba Tire ni Sidoni.
And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Mi hamulole, mwanakazi wa Mukanana abezi kuzwa mwechina chikiliti. Mi chahuweleza mi nichati, “Nifwile inse, Simwine, mwana a Daafita, mwanangu wamukazana ukatezwe madimona.”
And behold, a woman of Chanaan came out from those borders, and cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
23 Kono Jesu kana abamwitabi nanga inzwi. Barutwana bakwe babezi ni kumukumbila, ni bati, “Muhindikile kuna, kakuli utuchitala ilata.”
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she cries after us.
24 Kono Jesu abetabi mi nati, “Kana nibatumwa kozuhi nozuhi kunze yembelele izobete munzuvo ya Isilaele.”
But he answered and said: I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Kono iye neza nikwiza kufukama habusu bwakwe, nati, “Simwine, unituse.”
But she came and did him homage, saying: Lord, help me.
26 Netaba nati, “Kakuyelele kuhinda chinkwa chabahwile ni kuchiha tumbwazana.”
He answered and said: It is not good to take the children’s bread, and throw it to the little dogs.
27 Mwanakazi nati, “Eni Simwine, kono nanga tumbwazana tulyanga ziwanga kumilomo hetafule ibafumwa to.”
She replied: Yes, Lord; and yet thou canst help me; for the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
28 Linu Jesu abetavi mi abati kwali, “Mwanakazi, itumelo yako inkando. Usiye kutendahale kwako sina mosakila.” Mi mwanakwe abaholi chehola iswana.
Then Jesus answered and said to her: O woman, great is your faith; be it to you as you desire. And her daughter was restored to health from that hour.
29 Jesu abasiyi icho chibaka mi nayenda kumbali ni Iwate la Galileya. Kuzwaho abatanti kuya helunduzana ni kukekala hateni.
And Jesus departed thence, and came near the sea of Galilee, and went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 Ikunga ikando nilyeza kwali. Nibaleta bachukuta, bahofu, basatambi, ni basayendi, ni bamwi babali kulwala. Ni babaleta hamatende a Jesu, mi nabahoza bonse.
And many multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he cured them;
31 Chobulyo ikunga nilyamakala chabukando hababona basatambi kuti chibawamba, bachukuta chibaba nenza, basayendi chibayenda, ni bahofu chibabona. Niba lumba Ereeza wa Isilaele.
so that the multitudes were astonished, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Jesu abasupi barutwana bakwe mi nati, “Nifwila ikunga inse, mukuti chibabekali name mazuba otatwe mi kakwina chibabali. Kanisuni kubalukulula ni basalile, kokuma sanzi bazuminini munzila.”
Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said: I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. And I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road.
33 Barutwana nibawamba kwali ni bati, “Katuwane kuhi mañende azinkwa mwihalaupa likena buti kuti tufepe ikunga ikando buti?”
And his disciples said to him: Whence should we have in the desert as many loaves as would satisfy so great a multitude?
34 Jesu nabawambila kuti, “Mwina mañende ongahi?” Babetabi kuti, “Amana iyanza ni obele, ni tunswi tulikene.”
And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? They said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Linu Jesu nalaela ikunga kwikala hansi.
And he commanded the multitude to recline on the ground.
36 Nichahinda mañende amana iyanza ni obele ni nswi, mi hamana kulitumela, ni changamona mañende ni kwaha kubarutwana bakwe. Barutwana nibaha mañende kwikunga.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave thorn to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the multitude.
37 Bantu bonse nibalya ni kuikuta. Mi nibakunganya zilyo zibashali zibangamoki tukoto, zitanda zimana iyanza ni zobele ni zezula.
And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
38 Babali ibali balule bone, kuzwisa kwateñi banakazi ni bahwile.
And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Linu Jesu chalukulula ikunga mi nenjila muchikepe ni kuya muchikiliti cha Magadani.
And he sent the multitudes away, and entered the ship, and went into the borders of Magdala.
