Mateu 19
1 Linu chikwa sika inako Jesu ha mana awo mazwi, ni cha zwa mwa Galilea, linu choya ku museto wa Judea uvena mwi shila lya lwizi lwa Jorodani.
And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
2 Ikunga lya batu bangi niba mwichilile, linu chaka va hozeza kwateni.
And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
3 Mafalisi ni chibeza kwali, kwiza kumulika, “kana ku woleka kuti mukwame akauhane ni mwihyabwe kabu kavo bonse?”
And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Jesu nabe tava kuti, “kana mubavali iye mwine yaba vapangi kuzwa ku matangilo aba vapangi mukwame ni mwakazi?
Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:
5 Mukuti iye yaba vapangi avati kuti, 'chebaka mukwame mwa siye chivaka chibesi ni ba nyina aka kopane ni mwihyavwe?'
For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
6 Linu boveree muvabe muntu umwina mwi nyama. Linu chava kopanyi Ireeza hamwina, kanji nikuvi niyete nachi kauhanye.”
Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
7 Chiva wamba kwali, “chizi Mushe hava tulayi kuti uswanela ku hewa iñolo lye kauhano niku muhindika?”
They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
8 Nicha betava kuti, “bakenyi chaku kukutuhala kwe kulo zenu Mushe aba mizuminini ku kawuhana ni bamwi hyenwanwe kono kuzwa kumatangilo keena ivali nji zila iyo.
He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Ikumbya nimi wambila buniti, yense yo kana mwihyavwe isi ka mulandu wabu sangu, nikusesa wungi mwakazi upanga bushahi. Hape mukwame yosensa mwanakazi yava kanwa upanga bushahi.”
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
10 Balutwana chiva ti kwa Jesu, “Haiva mukwi kalille mona bulyo bulotu bakwame ni banakazi kanji basesi ni kuseswa.”
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
11 Jesu nicha wamba kuvali nati, kahena muntu yese yo wola kuzumina zinu zikwetwe kurutwa, kono haisi avo va zumina kutambula icho.
Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.
12 Kakuti kwina ba shalondo bava zalwa bovulyo kuzwa mu mavumu ava nyinavo. Imi vamwi ba shalondo bava pangwa ni vantu vamwi. Imi vamwi chevaka lyamusevezi wa muvuso we wulu. Iye yoo wola kutambula ituto atambule”
For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
13 Linu vahwile zana nichi va letwa kwali ili kuti avike mayaza akwe hewulu lyavo niku valapelela. Kono balutwana vakwe nichi babakalimela.
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14 Kono Jesu nati kuti, “kanji muva kanisa kwiza kwangu, kakuti muuso we wulu wa vantu va swana navo.”
But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
15 Kuzwaho ni chava vika maza, ni chazwa havali.
And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
16 Mubone, mukwame wumwi cheza kwa Jesu ni chata kuti, “Muruti, chizi chilotu chini lukela ku tenda ili kuti niwane buhalo busamani?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu chata kwali, “chizi hotenda kuti uni buza zintu zilukite? Yeke muntu njolukite, kono haiva usaka kwinjila mukati ka vuhalo, zwile habusu kubika itayelo.”
Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Mukwame chamu vuza ni chati, “Njezihi itaelo?” Jesu ni chati, “Kanji wi hayii, kanji uvukii, kanji wivii, kanji upaki indaba za mapa,
He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
19 uhe ikute venso niva nyoko, usake yo vambene naye sina moli molisakila.”
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 Mutangana nata kwali, “Zose izo zintu niba zikuteki. Hape muni sakezi?”
The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
21 Jesu ni chati, “haiva usaka kuva yo maninize, yende, kauze zose zo kwete, uka zihe ba sukulukite, mi iwe move ni chifumu kwi wulu, kuzwaho zoni chilile,”
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.
22 Mutngana chinga zuwa bulyo kwa Jesu, nayenda na swavite ahulu, kakuti abali nji zumwi ba vena mazimo achifumu.
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
23 Jesu ni chata kuva Lutwana vakwe, “ikumbya nimi wambila, ku kukutu ahulu ku muntu yo fumite kwi njila mu mubuso we wulu.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Hape nimi wambila bu sakusima kuti, kuhuva Inkamele kwi njila che linso lye naliti kuhita mufumi kuti enjile mu mubuso we Ireeza.”
And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
25 Linu valutwana ha zuwa bulyo, Linu chiva makala tota hava zuwa bulyo niku ta kuti, “Nji vani bente niva hazwe?”
And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?
26 Jesu nicha ba lola niku ta kuti, “ku vantu kazi woleki, kwe Reeza zintu zonse ziwoleka.”
And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
27 Linu Pitorosi niche tava nati, “mubone, tuva siyi zintu zose nitwa kwichilila. Linu kuzwaho mutu wane chituzi?”
Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
28 Jesu nawamba ku vali nati, “Ikumbya nimi wambila, inwe muva chilili ime, muku zalwa chiha mwana mutu chake kala ha chihuna che kanya yakwe, nanwe bulyo mumu kekale hazi huna zina ikumi nizo vele, mukava vaatuli baka atula mishovo ina ikumi ni yovere ba mushobo wama Isilaele.
And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Wumwi ni wumwi yava siyi mazuvo, mizwale, bachizye, vesi, banyina, bana vakwe, mane ni mawa ke vaka lyangu, ka tambule zilukela kuva mwanda wi zwile niku wola buhalo busa mani. (aiōnios g166)
And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
30 Kono bangi bena kumatangilo muvave kuma maninizo, hape bangi vena kuma maninizo muvave ku matangilo.
And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.
