< Maluko 2 >

1 Gapitili magono Yesu akawuya kavili Kapelanaumu, vandu vakayuwana kuvya avili kunyumba.
And, entering again into Capernaum, after some days, it was heard say—He is in a house;
2 Hinu, vandu vamahele vakambwelela vakamema mugati na kuvala hati kawaka nafwasi pamlyangu. Yesu avakokoselayi ujumbi waki.
and many were gathered together, so that no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door, —and he began speaking unto them the word;
3 Lukumbi lwenulo vakabwela vandu mcheche vamletili mundu mweapolili kwa Yesu.
and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, —
4 Nakuhotola kumuhikisa kwa Yesu ndava ya msambi wa vandu. Hinu vakapekenyula kuchituvilu pandu peavili Yesu. Pavamali kubowola pandu pala vakamuhelesa mundu yula kuni agonili pampasa.
and, not being able to get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying;
5 Yesu peayiwene sadika yavi akamjovela mundu mweapoli yula, “Mwana vangu, ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga waku.”
and, Jesus, seeing their faith, saith unto the paralytic—Child! forgiven are thy sins!
6 Vawula vangi va Malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vevatamili penapo vakaholalela mumitima yavi,
Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating in their hearts, —
7 “Ihotola wuli kujova genaga? Akumliga Chapanga! Kawaka mundu mweihotola kulekekesa kubuda nambu ndi mmonga Chapanga ndu.”
Why doth, this, man thus talk? he is speaking profanely! Who can forgive sins, save one, God?
8 Bahapo Yesu agamanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, “Ndava kyani mwiholalela mumitima yinu mambu ago?
And Jesus, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that [thus] they are deliberating within themselves, saith [unto them]—Why, these things, are ye deliberating in your hearts?
9 Chindu choki changa hotoleka kumjovela mundu mweapolili, ‘Ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga,’ Amala ‘Yimuka, tola mpasa waku Uhambayi?’
Which is easier—to say unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, [and] take up thy couch, and be walking?
10 Nambu nigana mumanyayi kuvya Mwana wa Mundu ana uhotola pamulima wa kulekekesa vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga.” Ndi amjovili mwaapoli yula,
But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:
11 “Nikukujovela, yimuka, tola mpasa waku uhamba kunyumba yaku!”
To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto thy house.
12 Na vandu voha pavamlolokesa mundu yula, balapala akayima na kutola mpasa waki akahamba. Vandu voha vakakangasa na vakamlumbalila Chapanga, vakajova, “Katu nakulilola lijambu ngati lenilo hati padebe!”
And he arose, and, straightway taking up the couch, went forth before all, —so that all were beside themselves and were glorifying God, [saying]—Thus, we never saw it!
13 Yesu akawuka penapo akahamba pamuhana ya nyanja ya ku Galilaya. Ndi msambi wa vandu wamulandili, mwene akatumbula kuvawula.
And he went forth again by the sea, —and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he began teaching them.
14 Ndi paagendayi amuweni Lawi mwana wa Alufayo atamili munyumba ya kutolela kodi. Yesu akamjovela, “Bwela nilandayi.” Ndi Lawi akayima akamulanda.
And, passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting over the tax-office, —and saith unto him—Be following me! And, arising, he followed him.
15 Mwanakandayi Yesu avi kunyumba ya Lawi ilya chakulya. Vatola kodi vamahele na vandu vevajovekini kuvya vakumbudila Chapanga na vevamlandayi Yesu. Na vamahele wavi valili chakulya na Yesu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him.
16 Hinu, Pagati ya vawula vangi va Malagizu vevavi Vafalisayu pavamuweni Yesu ilya pamonga na vandu vevajovikini kuvya vakumbudila Chapanga na vatola kodi, vakavakota vawuliwa vaki, “Ndava kyani ilya pamonga na vandu ngati ava?”
And the Scribes and Pharisees, seeing that he was eating with the sinners and the tax-collectors, began saying unto his disciples—With the tax-collectors and sinners, is he eating?
17 Yesu peayuwini akavajovela, “Vangalwala nakumgana mlamisa, nambu vatamu ndi vevakumgana mlamisa. Nabweli lepi kuvakemela vandu vabwina, nambu nabweli ndava ya kuvakemela vevajovikini kuvya vakumbudila Chapanga.”
And, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them—No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 Lukumbi lumonga vawuliwa va Yohani na Vafalisayu vavi mukujihinisa kulya chakulya. Vandu vangi vakamkota Yesu, “Ndava kyani vawuliwa va Yohani na va Vafalisayu vakujihinisa kulya chakulya nambu vawuliwa vaku nakukita genago?”
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say unto him—For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
19 Yesu akayangula, “Wu, vevagongoliwi kumselebuko wa ndowa yikuvagana kujihinisa chakulya kuni vavi pamonga na mkolo ndowa? Nakuhotola kujihinisa chakulya lukumbi lwoha pevivya na mkolo ndowa.
And Jesus said unto them—Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.
20 Nambu yati lubwela lukumbi lwa mkolo ndowa paiwusiwa pagati yavi, lukumbi ulo ndi pavakujihinisa chakulya.”
But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will fast, in that day.
21 “Kawaka mundu mweitota chilaka cha nyula ya mupya mulindimula la nyula. Ngati akakita chenichi chilaka cha mupya yati chinyalala na chipapula lindimula lenilo neju.
No one, seweth a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, —otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it—the new from the old—and, a worse rent is made.
22 Avi lepi mundu mweisopa divayi ya mupya mumahaku gachikumba gegalalili. Ngati akakitayi chenicho, divayi peyitutumuka yati yipapula mahaku ga chikumba gala na divayi pamonga na mahaku ga chikumba yati gipapuka na kuyitika. Divayi ya mupya yisopewa mumahaku gamupya!”
And, no one, poureth new wine into fold skins, —otherwise, at least, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and, the skins. [But new wine is for unused skins.]
23 Ligono limonga la Kupumulila, Yesu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki vapitayi mumgunda wa nganu. Vawuliwa vaki vakatumbula kudenya njechela ga nganu kuni vigenda.
And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.
24 Vafalisayu vakamkota Yesu, “Lola hoti! Ndava kyani vawuliwa vaku vikita lijambu lelibesiwi pa Ligono la Kupumulila?”
And, the Pharisees, were saying, —See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?
25 Yesu akavayangula, “Wu, mwangasoma cheakitili Daudi na vayaki njala peyavavinili?
And he saith unto them—Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, —he, and they who were with him:
26 Daudi ayingili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kulya mabumunda yeyavikiwi luteta ndava ya Chapanga. Lijambu lenili lakitiki lukumbi Abiasali avili Mteta Mkulu. Kulandana na Malagizu ndi vakulu va kuteta vene ndu vevaganikiwa kulya mabumunda genago. Nambu Daudi alili, na kuvapela vayaki.”
[how] he entered into the house of God, while Abiathar was High-priest, and, the presence-bread, did eat, —which it is not allowed to eat, save unto the priests, —and gave, unto them also who were with him?
27 Hinu, Yesu akavajovela, “Ligono la Kupumulila lavikiwi ndava ya kuvatangatila vandu, lepi vandu kulihengela Ligono la Kupumulila.
And he was saying unto them—The Sabbath, for man, was made, and not, man, for, the Sabbath:
28 Hinu, Mwana wa Mundu ndi Bambu hati pa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
So that the Son of Man is, Lord, even of the Sabbath.
