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.
In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields, —and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Vafalisayu pevagaweni genago, vakamjovela Yesu, “Lola, vawuliwa vaku vihenga lijambu lelibesiwi kuhenga pa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.
3 Yesu akayangula, “Wu, mwangasoma cheahengili Daudi na vayaki njala peyamvinili?
And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how
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.
he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, —save for the priests, alone?
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, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless?
6 Nambu hinu nikuvajovela kuvya penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nyumba ya Chapanga.
But I say unto you, —Something greater than the Temple, is here!
7 Kuvya mumanyalila mana ya malovi aga ‘Nigana lipyana, nigani lepi teta zinu.’ Ngamuvahamwili lepi vandu vangahoka.
If, however, ye had known what this meaneth—Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;
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, passing on 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 lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? 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?
And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], —Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?
12 Mundu itopeswa neju kuliku limbelele! Hinu ndi yiyidakiliwa kuhenga matendu gabwina pa Ligono la Kupumulila.”
How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.
13 Kangi Yesu akamjovela mundu yula, “Talambula chiwoko chaku.” Mwene akachitalambula, ndi chalamili ngati chiwoko chingi chila.
Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, —and it was restored, whole, as the other.
14 Nambu Vafalisayu vakahuma kuvala na kujovesana, ndava ya mpangu wa kumkoma Yesu.
And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.
15 Nambu Yesu amanyalili mpangu wula, akawuka pandu pala. Msambi wa vandu wamlandili, akavalamisa vana matamu voha.
But, Jesus, taking note, retired from thence, —and many followed him, and he cured them all;
16 Avabesili vakotoka kuvajovela vandu mambu gaki,
and straitly charged them, lest they should make him, manifest:
17 muni lilovi la ajovili Mlota Isaya litimilayi.
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah 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.
Lo! my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom, my soul, delighteth, —I will put my Spirit upon him, and, justice, unto the nations, will he report:
19 Angahutana, amala kuywanga, mewa lwami lwaki nakuyuwanika munjila
He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:
20 Mlahi weupondiki akuwudenya lepi, na utambi wewihuma lyohi wijimika lepi, mbaka kuhamula kwekuganikiwa kulongosa,
A bruised cane, will he not break, and, a smoking wick, will he not quench, —until he urge on, justice, to victory,
21 Vandu voha va milima yoha vakumhuvalila mwene.”
And, in his name, shall nations hope.
22 Penapo vandu vamletili Yesu mundu ngalola mewa avi ngajova mweatalaliwi na mzuka. Yesu akamlamisa hati akahotola kujova na kulola.
Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, —and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.
23 Msambi woha wa vandu wewavi penapo ukakangasa na kujova, “Wu, mwenuyu lepi mwana wa Daudi?”
And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?
24 Nambu Vafalisayu pevayuwini genago, vakajova, “Mundu uyu ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli mkulu wa mizuka.”
But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the 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.”
And, knowing their inward thoughts, he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is laid waste, —and, no city or house divided against itself, will stand;
26 Ngati Setani akavinga mizuka yaki, akujing'anamukila mwene. Hinu unkosi waki usindimala wuli?
And, if, Satan, is casting, Satan, out, against himself, hath he become divided, —How then shall, his kingdom, stand?
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, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, judges of you.
28 Nambu ngati nivinga mzuka kwa makakala ga Mpungu wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga umali kuvabwelela.
But, if, in God’s Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!
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 one enter the house of the mighty and, seize his goods, unless, first, he bind the mighty one? and, then, his house, he will plunder.
30 “Mundu yeyoha mweanganilanda nene, akunibela, na mundu yeyoha mweangayola pamonga na nene, idandasa.
He that is no with me, is, against me, —and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth
31 Ndava yeniyo nikuvajovela, vandu yati vilekekeswa kumbudila kwavi Chapanga na maligu gavi goha, nambu yati ilekekeswa lepi yula mweakumliga Mpungu Msopi.
Wherefore, I say unto you, All sin and profane speaking, shall be forgiven unto men, —but, the speaking profanely of the Spirit, shall not be forgiven;
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 speak 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, either in this age, or the coming. (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 worthless, and its fruit worthless; 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.
Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
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, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.
36 “Hinu nikuvajovela, ligono la uhamula kila mundu yati ihamuliwa kwa kila lilovi lihakau leajovili.
But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;
37 Muni malovi gaku wamwene yati wiyidakiliwa umganisi Chapanga, na kwa malovi gaku wamwene yati wihamuliwa kuvya uhokili.”
For, by thy words, shalt thou be, justified, and, by thy words, shalt thou be condemned.
38 Kangi pagati ya vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu vamjovili Yesu, “Muwula tigana kulola ulangisu kuhuma kwa veve.”
Then, answered him, certain of the Scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher! we desire of thee, a sign, to behold.
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 unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek, and, a sign, will not be, given, it, save the sign of Jonah 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, just as was Jonah in the belly of the sea-monster three days and three nights, so, will be the Son of Man, 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!
Men of Nineveh, will rise up in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it, —because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah; and lo! something greater than Jonah, 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.”
The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it—because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.
43 “Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu kulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Akupapata lepi pandu,
But, when the impure spirit goeth out of the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, —and findeth it not.
44 Kangi akujijovela, ‘Niwuya kavili kunyumba yangu mwenihumili.’ Peiwuya akuyikolela nyumba yila yivii waka yifyagiliwi na kupambwa.
Then, it saith, Into my house, will I return whence I came out, —and, coming, findeth it empty [and] 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, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself, —and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.
46 Yesu peavi akona ilongela na vandu, lola, nyina waki na valongo vaki vakahika na kuyima kuvala, vagana kulongela nayu.
While yet he was speaking unto the multitudes, lo! his mother and brethren, were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
47 Hinu mundu mmonga akamjovela, “Yuwanila nyina waku na valongo vaku vavi kuvala, vigana kulongela na veve.”
[And one said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren, without, are standing, seeking, to speak, with thee.]
48 Nambu Yesu akamyangula mundu yula “Nyina wangu ndi yani? Na valongo vangu ndi vayani?”
But, he, answering, said unto him that was telling 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 forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, Lo! 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.
