Matei 9
1 A Yeshu gubhakwelile muntumbwi, gubhajombweshe litanda gubhaishe kushilambo shabho.
He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Kweneko bhandu gubhaapeleshelenje mundu jumo apolweshe, agonile pa shinanda. A Yeshu bhakajibhoneje ngulupai jabhonji, gubhammalanjile mundu apolweshe jula, “Ambwiga! Mwiilume ntima, yambi yenu nneshelelwe.”
Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhananji gubhaganishiyenje mmitima jabhonji kuti, “Bhene bhandubha bhanakwaakupulu a Nnungu!”
Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 A Yeshu gubhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhashite, “Pakuti nnaganishiyanga ya nyata mmitima jenunji?
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Shei shipepeshe, kubheleketa, ‘Uleshelelwe yambi yako,’ eu kubheleketa, ‘Jinuka ujende?’
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 Ikabheje, mmumanyanje kuti Mwana juka Mundu ashikola ukulungwa pa shilambolyo gwa kwaaleshelelanga bhandu yambi yabhonji.” Penepo gubhammalanjile mundu apolweshe jula, “Jinuka utole shinanda shako ujende kunngwako.”
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 Bhai mundu apolweshe jula gwajimi, gwapite kunngwakwe.
He arose and departed to his house.
8 Bhandu bhowe palugwinjili pala bhakaibhonanjeje yeneyo, gubhalapilenje na jogopa gubhaakushiyenje a Nnungu bhaapelenje bhandu gwene ukulungwago.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 Na a Yeshu bhakajabhuleje penepo, gubhaabhweni bhandu bhamo lina lyabho a Matei, bhatemi nnyumba ja bhakamula koli. Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nngagule.” Nabhalabho a Matei gubhajimi, gubhaakagwile.
As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 A Yeshu bhakatameje kumui kwa a Matei nkulya shalya, bhakamula koli bhabhagwinji na bhakwetenje yambi bhananji, gubhaikengenenje nitamanabhonji nkulya pamo na bhaajiganywa bhabho.
As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Ashimapalishayo bhakabhonanjeje nneyo, gubhabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Pakuti bhaajiganya bhenunji bhanalya shalya na bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi?”
When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje, gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhakotonji bhakakunnoleyanga mmitela, ikabheje bhakunnoleyanga mmitela bhalwelenji.
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 Bhai, nnjendangane nkaijiganyanje malombolelo ga gene malobhe gano, ‘Shingupinga shiya, nngabha mbepei.’ Nangaika kwaashemanga bhakwetenje aki, ikabheje bhakwetenje yambi.”
But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
14 Kungai bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana Bhabhatisha gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Uwe na Mapalishayo tunatabha. Pakuti bhaajiganywa bhenu bhakaatabhanga?”
Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli, bhashemilwenje kundowa bhalipinjikwanga kwigutanjila bhalinginji naka nnyene nkulomba? Ikabheje shigaishile mobha nkulomba shashoywe, penepo shibhatabhanje.
Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “Jwakwa mundu atotela shibhamba sha ambi munngubho ja bhukala, pabha shibhambasho shishikwinyale nipunda pwengula nngubhojo.
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Wala bhandu bhakaataganga divai ja ambi mmipatila ja bhukala. Bhatendangaga nneyo, divaijo shijikwebhe nipapula mipatilajo na divai nijitika, ikabheje bhandu bhanataganga divai ja ambi mmipatila ja ambi, na yowe shiilonjeye ukoto.”
Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 A Yeshu bhalinkubheleketa genego, a kalongolele bha Shiyaudi gubhaishe, nitindibhala bhalinkuti, “Mwali jwangu ashiwa nnainope, shonde ngunakunnjuga tulongane nkammishile nkono gwenu shalame.”
While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 A Yeshu gubhajabhwile nikwaakagula pamo na bhaajiganywa bhabho.
Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 Bhakongwe bhamo bhalwalaga shilwele sha nsholosholo yaka likumi limo na ibhili, gubhaakagwile a Yeshu shilinyuma, gubhakwashiye libhiniko lya nngubho jabho.
Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 Bhashinkutenda nneyo pabha bhashinkwiibhalanjila bhayene, “Ngwayape nngubho jabho shiname.”
for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Bhai, a Yeshu gubhatendebhwishe nigubhaabhweni, gubhaabhalanjile, “Mwanangu, unakole lipamba! Ngulupai jako jikulamiye.” Bhakongwe bhala gubhalamile shilwele shabho shila malanga gala.
But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 A Yeshu bhakaisheje ku nyumba ja bhakulungwa bhala gubhaabhweninji bhaagombanga imbeta na bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhalinginji nshililo,
When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nshokangane! Mwaliju jwanngawa, ikabheje ashigonape.” Nigubhaeshilenje kwa kaje.
he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 Bhai, bhandunji bhala bhakashokangananjeje, a Yeshu gubhajinjile nkati, gubhankamwile nkono, mwali jula gwajimi nnyene.
But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 Jene nganijo gujishumile nshilambo showe.
The report of this went out into all that land.
27 A Yeshu bhakajabhuleje penepo, ashinangalole bhabhili gubhaakagwilenje bhalijobhelanga, bhalinkutinji, “Mmaulongo gwa a Daudi, ntubhonele shiya.”
As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28 A Yeshu bhakaisheje kumui, ashinangalole bhabhili bhala gubhaajendelenje, bhalabho gubhabhushiyenje, “Bhuli, nnikulupalilanga kuti ngunaakombola kunnamiyanga?” Nabhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Elo Mmakulungwa,”
When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Penepo a Yeshu gubhakwashiye meyo gabhonji, bhalinkuti, “Ibhe malinga shinshite kulupalilanga.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30 Meyo gabhonji gakubhalakukaga. Numbe a Yeshu gubhaakalipilenje, “Nnannugulilanje mundu jojowe genega.”
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 Ikabheje gubhajabhwilenje, nishumya ngani ja a Yeshu nshilambo showe.
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Na bhandunji pujabhulangaga, mundu jumo bhubhu akwete lioka, gwapelekwe kwa a Yeshu.
As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 Shangupe akashoyweje lioka, mundu jula gwatandwibhe bheleketa. Bhandunji gubhalapilenje bhalinkutinji, “Yene indui tukanabhe kuibhona pa Ishilaeli!”
When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Ikabheje Mapalishayo gubhashitenje, “Bhanashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka nkulungwa jwa maoka.”
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
35 A Yeshu bhatendaga owela ilambo yowe na ijiji yowe, bhalijiganya mmashinagogi na lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na lamya ilwele yowe na kila ungakola mashili.
Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36 Bhai, bhakabhoneje lugwinjili lwa bhandu gubhaabhonelenje shiya, pabha bhashinkutotoshelanga na bhashinkukolanga lipamba malinga ngondolo yangali nshunga.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Penepo gubhaabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Maneng'eno gamagwinji, ikabheje bhakamula maengo bhashokope.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 Bhai, mwaajuganje bhayene maneng'eno bhatume bhakamula maengo ku maneng'eno gabho.”
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
