Matei 12
1 Lukumbi ulo, Yesu avi mukupita mumigunda Ligono la Kupumulila, Hinu, vawuliwa vaki njala yavavinili, vakatumbula kudenya nganu na kuyogola ngele zaki na kulya.
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
2 Vafalisayu pevagaweni genago, vakamjovela Yesu, “Lola, vawuliwa vaku vihenga lijambu lelibesiwi kuhenga pa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
But the Pharisees, seeing [it], said to him, Behold, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on sabbath.
3 Yesu akayangula, “Wu, mwangasoma cheahengili Daudi na vayaki njala peyamvinili?
But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?
4 Mwene ayingili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kulya mabumunda gala gegavikwi palongolo ya Chapanga. Mwene hati vayaki kawaka mweayidakiliwi kulya mabumunda genago. Mabumunda ago gaganikiwi kuliliwa na vamteta va Chapanga ndu.
How he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only?
5 Amala mwangasoma muchitabu cha Malagizu kuvya kila Ligono la Kupumulila vamteta va Chapanga vakugadenya malagizu ga Musa mu Nyumba ya Chapanga kuni vihololewa lepi kuvya vahokili?
Or have ye not read in the law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Nambu hinu nikuvajovela kuvya penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nyumba ya Chapanga.
But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.
7 Kuvya mumanyalila mana ya malovi aga ‘Nigana lipyana, nigani lepi teta zinu.’ Ngamuvahamwili lepi vandu vangahoka.
But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Muni Mwana wa Mundu ndi Bambu wa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.
9 Yesu akawuka penapo, akahamba munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.
10 Kwavi na mundu mmonga mweagogodili chiwoko. Hinu, vandu vamkotili Yesu, “Wu, Malagizu giyidakila kumlamisa mundu pa Ligono la Kupumulila?” Vamlingili ndava vapatayi njila ya kumtakila.
And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
11 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Wu, yani pagati yinu mweavi na limbelele laki, ligwilili muligodi, wu, akulihumisa lepi Ligono la Kupumulila?
But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?
12 Mundu itopeswa neju kuliku limbelele! Hinu ndi yiyidakiliwa kuhenga matendu gabwina pa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
13 Kangi Yesu akamjovela mundu yula, “Talambula chiwoko chaku.” Mwene akachitalambula, ndi chalamili ngati chiwoko chingi chila.
Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
14 Nambu Vafalisayu vakahuma kuvala na kujovesana, ndava ya mpangu wa kumkoma Yesu.
But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Nambu Yesu amanyalili mpangu wula, akawuka pandu pala. Msambi wa vandu wamlandili, akavalamisa vana matamu voha.
But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:
16 Avabesili vakotoka kuvajovela vandu mambu gaki,
and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:
17 muni lilovi la ajovili Mlota Isaya litimilayi.
that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 “Lola, mtumisi mwenimuhagwili, chiganu changu, mweanihekesa neju mtima wangu. Nikuuvika mpungu wangu panani yaki, namwene yati ikokosa uhamula wangu kwa milima yoha.
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.
19 Angahutana, amala kuywanga, mewa lwami lwaki nakuyuwanika munjila
He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;
20 Mlahi weupondiki akuwudenya lepi, na utambi wewihuma lyohi wijimika lepi, mbaka kuhamula kwekuganikiwa kulongosa,
a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;
21 Vandu voha va milima yoha vakumhuvalila mwene.”
and on his name shall [the] nations hope.
22 Penapo vandu vamletili Yesu mundu ngalola mewa avi ngajova mweatalaliwi na mzuka. Yesu akamlamisa hati akahotola kujova na kulola.
Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb [man] spake and saw.
23 Msambi woha wa vandu wewavi penapo ukakangasa na kujova, “Wu, mwenuyu lepi mwana wa Daudi?”
And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this [man] the Son of David?
24 Nambu Vafalisayu pevayuwini genago, vakajova, “Mundu uyu ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli mkulu wa mizuka.”
But the Pharisees, having heard [it], said, This [man] does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons.
25 Yesu amanyili maholo gavi akajova, “Unkosi wowoha weulekangini chikundi chikundi wewitovana wene, wangahotola kusindimala mewawa na muji amala vandu va nyumba yimonga vevalekangini chikundi chikundi yati vigwa.”
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.
26 Ngati Setani akavinga mizuka yaki, akujing'anamukila mwene. Hinu unkosi waki usindimala wuli?
And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist?
27 Ngati nyenye mwijova nene nikuyivinga mizuka kwa makakala ga Belizebuli, wu, valanda vinu vivinga kwa makakala ga yani? Ndava ya genago vandu vinu ndi vevakuvahamula nyenye!
And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.
28 Nambu ngati nivinga mzuka kwa makakala ga Mpungu wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga umali kuvabwelela.
But if I by [the] Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you.
29 “Ihotola wuli mundu kuizangila nyumba ya mundu mweavi na makakala na kumnyaga vindu vyaki, changali hoti kumkunga mundu ana makakala mwenuyo? Kangi ndi ahotola kumnyaga vindu vyaki.”
Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong [man] and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong [man]? and then he will plunder his house.
30 “Mundu yeyoha mweanganilanda nene, akunibela, na mundu yeyoha mweangayola pamonga na nene, idandasa.
He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
31 Ndava yeniyo nikuvajovela, vandu yati vilekekeswa kumbudila kwavi Chapanga na maligu gavi goha, nambu yati ilekekeswa lepi yula mweakumliga Mpungu Msopi.
For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
32 Kangi, mundu yeyoha mweijova lilovi la kumbela Mwana wa Mundu yati ilekekeswa, nambu mundu yeyoha mweijova lilovi la kumbela Mpungu Msopi, ilekekeswa lepi pamulima uwu hati pamulima weubwela.” (aiōn g165)
And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one]. (aiōn g165)
33 “Mkongo wakavya wabwina na matunda gaki yati givya gabwina mewawa, mkongo wakavya uhakau na matunda gaki givya gahakau mewa. Ndi mkongo umanyikana ndava ya matunda gaki.
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known.
34 Nyenye mwachiveleku cha liyoka! Mwihotola wuli kujova mambu gabwina kuni mwavene mwavahakau? Muni mundu ijova gala gegamemili mumtima waki.
Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 Mundu mbwina iwusa mambu gabwina muchibana chaki chabwina, mewawa mundu mhakau iwusa mambu gahakau muchibana chaki chihakau.”
The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things.
36 “Hinu nikuvajovela, ligono la uhamula kila mundu yati ihamuliwa kwa kila lilovi lihakau leajovili.
But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:
37 Muni malovi gaku wamwene yati wiyidakiliwa umganisi Chapanga, na kwa malovi gaku wamwene yati wihamuliwa kuvya uhokili.”
for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Kangi pagati ya vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu vamjovili Yesu, “Muwula tigana kulola ulangisu kuhuma kwa veve.”
Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee.
39 Mwene akayangula, “Chiveleku chihakau changali sadika! Mwigana ulangisu, yati mwipata lepi ulangisu, nambu ndi wulawula wa Yona mweavi mlota wa Chapanga.
But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet.
40 Ngati Yona cheatamili magono gadatu kilu na muhi mulileme la somba yivaha, mewawa Mwana wa Mundu yati itama mugati ya ndima magono gadatu muhi na kilu.
For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Ligono la uhamula vandu va ku Ninawi yati viyima pamonga na chiveleku ichi na kuchihamula, ndava muni vene vamali kumng'anamukila Chapanga lukumbi Yona peavakokosili. Hinu apa avi mkulu kuliku Yona!
Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas [is] here.
42 Nkosi wa chidala wa muji wa Sheba yati ihumila Kwelitipama lilanga lukumbi lwa uhamula wa chiveleku ichi, namwene yati akuchihamula kuvya chihokili. Muni mwene agendili kuhuma kutali, abwelili kuhuma kumulima waki, kuyuwana malovi ga luhala ga Solomoni, kumbi apa avi mkulu kuliku Solomoni.”
A queen of [the] south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon [is] here.
43 “Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu kulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Akupapata lepi pandu,
But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find [it].
44 Kangi akujijovela, ‘Niwuya kavili kunyumba yangu mwenihumili.’ Peiwuya akuyikolela nyumba yila yivii waka yifyagiliwi na kupambwa.
Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned.
45 Kangi ihamba kuyitola mizuka yingi saba, hihakau neju kuliku mwene, yoha ibwela kuyingila kwa mundu yula. Mundu yula ivya mhakau neju kuliku peatumbwili. Hinu ndi yati yivya kwa chiveleku ichi chihakau.”
Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.
46 Yesu peavi akona ilongela na vandu, lola, nyina waki na valongo vaki vakahika na kuyima kuvala, vagana kulongela nayu.
But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
47 Hinu mundu mmonga akamjovela, “Yuwanila nyina waku na valongo vaku vavi kuvala, vigana kulongela na veve.”
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, seeking to speak to thee.
48 Nambu Yesu akamyangula mundu yula “Nyina wangu ndi yani? Na valongo vangu ndi vayani?”
But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
49 Kangi akatalambula chiwoko chaki na kuvalangisa vawuliwa vaki, akajova, “Ava ndi nyina wangu na valongo vangu!
And, stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren;
50 Muni mundu yeyoha mweihenga geigana Dadi wangu mweavili kunani, mwenuyo ndi mlongo wangu mlumbu wangu na nyina wangu.”
for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in [the] heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
