Mateu 9
1 Jesu e njila mu chisepe, cha luuta, kwiza muitolopo yakwe.
And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 Micwale, va valeti muntu yo zuminine luñañali na lele ha vulo. Cha vona intumelo ya bo, Jesu chawambila ya va kuzuminine luñañali. “Mwanangu u be u muntu yotavite. Zivi zako zi va wondelwa.”
And behold, they brought to him a man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 Micwale, vamwi ku bañoli chi baliwambila a bo bene, “Uzu muntu u nyefula.”
And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
4 Jesu abezi mihupulo yabo mi ni chati, “Chinzi hamuzeza bubi mwimunkulo zenu?
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5 chihuva nje chihi kuku chiwamba, 'Zíbi zako za wondelwa,' kapa kuwamba. 'Zimane mi u yende'?
For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 Kono wizive kuti Mwana Muntu wina maata hanu hansi akuswalela zibi,” Chawamba kuyo zuminine luñañali, “Vuke, zalule vulo bwako mi uyende kwinzuvo yako.”
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick with the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
7 Haho muntu cha katuka ni kuyenda kunzubo yakwe.
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 Cwale vungi bwavantu ha babona izo, chiba komokwa mi chiva vavaza Ireeza, ya vahi maata ena vulyo ku bantu.
But when the multitude saw [it], they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
9 Jesu haka kosola kuzwa uko, cha vona muntu we zina lya Mateu, ya va kuikele ha chivaka chi lihisezwa mutelo. Ni cha muwambila. “Ni ichilile.” Cha zimana ni kumuichilila.
And as Jesus was passing from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 Jesu heza kwikala kuti alye mwinzubo, micwale, vuñata bwa vatelisi ni vantu vavaezalibi chiveza kulya ni Jesu ni valutiwa vakwe.
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 Cwale bafalisi ha va vona vulyo, chi vawamba kuvalutiwa vakwe, “Chinzi muluti wenu halya ni batelisi ni vantu va vaezalivi?”
And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 Jesu hazuwa izi, cha wamba, “Vantu vakolete mumuvili kavalili iñanga, haisi vana valwala.
But when Jesus heard [that], he said to them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 Muswanela kuyende mukalitute ziitalusa, 'Nitavela chishemo insinyi chitavelo.' Njaho hanikeza, insinyi kusumpa valukite kukulinyansa, kono vaezalibi.”
But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Haho valutiwa va Joani chi veeza kwali chivawamba, “Chinzi iswe ni bafalisi hañata hatulinyima zilyo, kono balutiwa bako kavalinyimi zilyo?”
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Jesu chawamba kuvali, “Kana valikani vayoseswa vawola kulizuwa kusatava haiva munyaliwa nachina navo? Kono mazuva mueze munyaliwa hese nakahindwe kuvali, mi cwale kavalinyime zilyo.
And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 Ka kwina muntu ya vika chikamba chiha ha chizwato chakale, kokuti chikamba echo mo chi ñatuke ku chizwato, mi hafwile mohañatuke ahulu.
No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Nanga vantu kete vavike iwaine ihya mwi dalo lye waine lya kale. Ha va chita vulyo, idalo kaliñatuke, mi iwaine moitike mi na lyo idalo lye iwaine kalisinyehe. Kaho muvavike iwaine ihya mu madalo mahya e waine, mi zonse kazivikwe nenza.”
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 Jesu na kwete kuwamba izo zintu kuvali, micwale muvusisi cha keza ni kwiza kufukama kwali. Chawamba, “Mwanangu wa mukazana hahanu cwa fwa, kono wize, zo u bike iyanza lya ko hali, mi kahale.”
While he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshiped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
19 Haho Jesu chazima kumwichilila, ni valutiwa vakwe.
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 Micwale, mwanakazi ya va kukatazwa vutuku bwa malaha ka zilimo zina ikumi ka zovele, chakeza kwisule lya Jesu, ni ku kwata ku mamaninizo echizavalo chaakwe.
(And behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment.
21 Ni chaliwambila i ye mwine, “Ha chinakwata vulyo kuchizavalo chakwe, monibe hande.”
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 Kono Jesu a muchevuka chamuvona, ni cha wamba, “Mwanagu wa mukazana, koze inkulo. Intumelo ya ko chi ya kuhoza.” Mi mwanakazi cha hola pohonaho.
But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.)
23 Jesu he njila munzubo yo muvusisi, cha bona balizi be mpeta ni vantu bangi va panga hahulu ilata.
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 Chawamba, “Muzwee, kakuti mukazana kafwile, kono u lele.” Kono va museka ni kumusheununa.
He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they derided him.
25 Cwale vantu vangi ha vahindikilwa hanze, che njila mwinzuvo ni kumukwata kuiyanza, mi mukazana cha vuuka.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 Makande chiahasana chikiliti yonse.
And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
27 Jesu ha kosoza ku zwauko, zibofu zovele za muichilila. Ne zi kwete kumuhuwa ni ziwamba, “Tuzuwele vutuku, Mwana a Daafita”
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
28 Jesu ha keza mwinzubo, zivofu zo vele chizakeza kwali. Jesu cwamba kuvali, “Muzumina kuti ni wola kumihoza?” chibawamba kwali, “Eeni Simwine.”
And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 Mi Jesu cha vaonda ha menso, mi chati, “Musiye kupangahale bulyo kuya che intumelo yenu.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it to you.
30 Mi menso a bo chi eyaluka. Mi Jusu cha abakalimela ahulu nikuwamba, “Muvone kuti ka kwina muntu u swanela kuiziba kuamana nezi.”
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
31 Kono vakwame vo vele vayenda ni kukahasanya indava iyo muchikiliti chonse.
But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 A vo vakwame vo vele ha chivakaya, micwale mukwame wa chimumu wina madimona avaletwa kwa jesu.
As thy went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33 Cwale madimona ha hindikiwa, muntu wa chimumu chawamba. Inyangela chi ya komokwa mi chi ya ti, “Izi kazini kuvonwa kale mwa Isilaele.
And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 Kono Bafalisi va va kuwamba, “Cha mulao wa madimona, u tanda madimona.”
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out demons, through the prince of the demons.
35 Jesu ava yendi konse mumileneñi ni muminzi. A ba zwilile havusu ni kuluta mu masinagoge a vo, kukutaza inzwi lya mubuso, Ni kuholiza onse malwalila ni matuku onse a shutana.
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people.
36 Ha vona inyangela, cha ba fwila makeke, kakuli va va kukatazehete ni kuzwafa. Va va kuswana sina ingu zi sena mulisana.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Chawamba ku valutiwa bakwe, “Inkutulo yi ngi, kono vaveleki vache.
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plentiful, but the laborers [are] few.
38 Kacwalo mulapele cheputako kwa Simwiine we inkutulo, ilikuti a tumine vabeleki mu inkutulo ya kwe.”
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
