Mateu 15
1 Linu Vafalisi ni bañoli bamwi babezi kwa Jesu kuzwa Jerusalema. Nivati,
Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from 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 responding, he said to them: “And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said:
4 Mukuti Ireeza avati, 'Uhe ikute kweso ni nyoko,' mi 'Iye yowamba bubilala kwesi ni nyina, ikumbya kafwe.'
‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother shall die a 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: ‘If anyone will have said to father or mother, “It is dedicated, so that whatever is from me will benefit you,”
6 uzo muntu kayelele kukuteka besi. Chenzila yina bulyo wazimbuluka inzwi lye Reeza chevaka lachisayakulu chenu.
then he shall not honor his father or his mother.’ So have you nullified the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 Inwe balihele, Isaya avapolofiti chakusima kazenu havati,
Hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 Aba bantu banikuteka chatuholo twavo, kono inkulo zabo zina kule name.
‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 Banilapela ni basawani chimwi, kakuli itumelo ivaruta izimene hetaelo zamuntu.”
For in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.’”
10 Linu chalisupila ikunga ni kuliwambila kuti, “Mutekeleze ni kuzuwisisa -
And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: “Listen and understand.
11 Kakwina chinjila mukaholo chiizuza muntu ikwe. Muchibaka chobulyo, chizwa mukaholo, njecho chiizuza muntu ikwe.”
A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man.”
12 Linu barutwana babezi ni kuwambila Jesu, “Kana wizi kuti bafalisi babanyelwa habazuwa ichi chiwambo?”
Then his disciples drew near and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?”
13 Jesu avetavi mi nati, “Chimenantu chonse chasanaavabyali Tayo wakwiwulu kachinyukulwe ni kusohelwa kunze. Mubasiye bobona, bahitili bazihofu.
But in response he said: “Every plant which has not been planted by my heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
14 Mi heva muhofu nahitila muhofu kunine, vonse kabawile mwilindi.”
Leave them alone. They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if the blind are in charge of the blind, both will fall into the pit.”
15 Pitorosi avetabi mi nati kwa Jesu, “Tutolokele iyi nguli.”
And responding, Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Jesu nati, “nanwe muchiikele nimusena inkutwisiso?
But he said: “Are you, even now, without understanding?
17 Inwe kamuboni kuti chonse chiinjila mukaholo chihita kuya mwibumu mi linu chikazwa kuya muchimbuzi?”
Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the gut, and is cast into the sewer?
18 Kono zintu zizwa mukaholo zizwa kunkulo. Nji zintu ziizuza muntu ikwe.
But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.
19 Kakuli munkulo kuzwa mihupulo mibilala, vwihai, bubuki, zakusomana, busa, kupaka zamapa, ni kutukana.
For from the heart go out evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20 Ezi nji zintu ziizuza muntu ikwe. Kono kulya ni mayanza asasambite kakwiizuzi muntu ikwe.”
These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man.”
21 Linu Jesu chayenda kuzwa mwecho chibaka kulikungula ni kuya muzikiliti zamileñi iba Tire ni Sidoni.
And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas 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 Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon.”
23 Kono Jesu kana abamwitabi nanga inzwi. Barutwana bakwe babezi ni kumukumbila, ni bati, “Muhindikile kuna, kakuli utuchitala ilata.”
He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: “Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us.”
24 Kono Jesu abetabi mi nati, “Kana nibatumwa kozuhi nozuhi kunze yembelele izobete munzuvo ya Isilaele.”
And responding, he said, “I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.”
25 Kono iye neza nikwiza kufukama habusu bwakwe, nati, “Simwine, unituse.”
But she approached and adored him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 Netaba nati, “Kakuyelele kuhinda chinkwa chabahwile ni kuchiha tumbwazana.”
And responding, he said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.”
27 Mwanakazi nati, “Eni Simwine, kono nanga tumbwazana tulyanga ziwanga kumilomo hetafule ibafumwa to.”
But she said, “Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that 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, responding, said to her: “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 Jesu abasiyi icho chibaka mi nayenda kumbali ni Iwate la Galileya. Kuzwaho abatanti kuya helunduzana ni kukekala hateni.
And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down 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 great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, 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 much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified 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.”
And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: “I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way.”
33 Barutwana nibawamba kwali ni bati, “Katuwane kuhi mañende azinkwa mwihalaupa likena buti kuti tufepe ikunga ikando buti?”
And the disciples said to him: “From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great 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 of bread do you have?” But they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 Linu Jesu nalaela ikunga kwikala hansi.
And he instructed the crowds to recline upon 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 taking the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
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, from what was left over of the fragments, they took up seven full baskets.
38 Babali ibali balule bone, kuzwisa kwateñi banakazi ni bahwile.
But those who ate were four thousand men, plus children and women.
39 Linu Jesu chalukulula ikunga mi nenjila muchikepe ni kuya muchikiliti cha Magadani.
And having dismissed the crowd, he climbed into a boat. And he went into the coastal region of Magadan.
