Matei 13
1 Ligono lilolo, Yesu awukili munyumba yila akahamba kutama mumhana ya nyanja.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea,
2 Msambi uvaha wa vandu wamtindili hati Yesu akakwela muwatu, akatama. Vandu voha vayimili mumhana ya nyanja,
and large crowds gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat down, while the entire crowd stood on the shore.
3 namwene Yesu akavajovela mambu ga mahele kwa miluhumu. “Myuwanila, mundu mmija mbeyu ahambili kumija mbeyu.
Then he told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow.
4 Peamijili, mbeyu zingi zikagwilila munjila, na hidege yikabwela yikahola.
As he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Zingi zakagwilila pamatalau pangali kuvya na ludaka neju. Zalolikini zimeli kanyata ndava ludaka lwavi lwamahele lepi.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up immediately because they had no depth of soil.
6 Lilanga palaumili, lachonili ndava mikiga yaki yakamwili lepi muludaka, zikanyala.
But when the sun rose, they were scorched. And because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Mbeyu zingi zagwilili mumikongo ya minga, ndi mikongo ya minga yikamela na kuzihinya.
Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Zingi zagwili paludaka lwa bwina, zameli na kupambika, yingi mbeyu miya yimoja na yingi mbeyu sitini na yingi mbeyu selasini.”
But other seeds fell on good soil and produced fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times more than what was sown.
9 Yesu akajova, myuwana nyenye mwemuvi na makutu.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Vawuliwa va Yesu vamhambili, vakamkota, “Ndava kyani wijova na vandu kwa miluhumu?”
Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do yoʋ speak to the people in parables?”
11 Yesu akavayangula, “Nyenye mpewili uhotola wa kumanya umfiyu wa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu vene vapewili lepi.
Jesus answered them, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 Muni mundu mweavi na chindu yati iyonjokesewa neju, nambu mundu angali kuvya na chindu hati cheavi nachu yati chinyagiwa.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Muni nijova nawu kwa miluhumu, ndava vilolokesa nambu vilola lepi viyuwana nambu vimanya lepi.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they see but do not perceive, and they hear but do not listen or understand.’
14 Kwa vene gatimili malovi gala geajovili Isaya mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, kuyuwana yati mwiyuwana, nambu yati mwimanya lepi, kulola yati mwilola, nambu yati mwiwona lepi,
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, ‘Yoʋ will hear but never understand, and you will see but never perceive.
15 muni mitima ya vandu ava yitopa. Vagadindii makutu gavi, vagubiki mihu gavi. Kuvya lepi, yavaloli na mihu gavi, yavayuwini na makutu gavi, yavamanyalili muluhala lwavi, na kumuwuyila Bambu, na nene nganivalamisi.
For the heart of this people has become calloused; with their ears they have barely heard, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.’
16 Nambu mmotisiwa nyenye, muni mihu ginu gilola na makutu ginu giyuwana.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 Nikuvajovela chakaka, vamlota va Chapanga vamahele na vandu va Chapanga vamahele vanogili kugalola gala gemgaloli nambu vagaloli lepi, na kuyuwana gala gemyuwini nambu nakuyuwana.”
For truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.
18 “Hinu, nyenye myuwana ndava ya luhumu lwenulu lwa mmija mbeyu.
“So hear what the parable of the sower means:
19 Yeyoha mweiyuwana lilovi la Unkosi wa Chapanga changamanya, iwanangana ngati mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi yula mhakau ibwela na kutola chechimijiwi mumtima waki.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20 Mbeyu zezagwili mulitalau ndi luhumu wa mundu yula mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo na bahapo akulipokela kwa luheku.
The seed sown on rocky ground is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
21 Nambu nakuyingila mugati yaki ndava avi lepi na mikiga, lilovi lenilo litama mulukumbi luhupi na pegihumila man'gaiso na kuhengiwa uhakau ndava ya lilovi la Chapanga, kanyata igwa.
Yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately falls away.
22 Mewawa na mbeyu yeyagwili pagati ya mikongo ya minga, ndi luhumu lwa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo, nambu mambu ga pamulima apa na mnogo wa kugana vindu vyamahele vikulitindila lilovi lenilo na ipambika lepi matunda ndi kuhenga gala gakumganisa Chapanga. (aiōn g165)
The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Nambu mbeyu yeyagwilili muludaka lwabwina ndi luhumu wa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi na kulimanya, ndi yipambika matunda, yimonga matunda miya na yingi matunda sitini na yingi matunda selasini.”
But the seed sown on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who bears fruit and produces a hundred, sixty, or thirty times more than what was sown.”
24 Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mundu mweamijili mbeyu yabwina mumgunda waki.
Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 Hinu vandu pavagonili abwelili mundu likoko na kumija masindi pagati ya nganu na kuwuka.
but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and then went away.
26 Penapo nganu peyameli na kutumbula kuholomola njechela, mewawa masindi gakahumila.
When the plants sprouted and produced grain, the tares also appeared.
27 Vatumisi va mkolo mgunda vamhambili na kumjovela mwene, ‘Bambu, chakaka wamijili mbeyu zabwina kumgunda waku. Hinu masindi gahumili koki?’
So the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did yoʋ not sow good seed in yoʋr field? How then does it have tares?’
28 Mwene akavayangula, ‘Mundu likoko ndi mweahengili genago.’ Ndi vatumisi vaki vakamkota wigana tete tikatupulai masindi?
He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Do yoʋ want us to go and gather them up?’
29 Mwene akavayangula, ‘Lepi,’ Pangi pemwitupula masindi, yati mwitupula na nganu mewa.
He said, ‘No, lest in gathering the tares you uproot the wheat with them.
30 Mlekayi vikula pamonga mbaka lukumbi lwa kubena. Lukumbi lwenulo ndi yati nikuvajovela vabenaji, vayola hoti masindi na kugakunga malundu ga kuyocha motu, na nganu mbenai na kuyivika pachibana changu.”
Let them both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “Gather the tares first and bind them into bundles to burn them up, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mbeyu yidebe yeyikemiwa haladali mundu ayitolili, na kumija kumgunda waki.
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Yene yivya yidebe kuliku mbeyu zoha, nambu yikamela na yikula kuvya mkongo uvaha kuliku mimea yoha, hati hidege yibwela na kujenga hisakanilu, mumambanda gaki.”
Although it is the smallest of all seeds, it grows larger than the other garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
33 Yesu avajovili luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mau mmonga mweagegili ngemeku, akahangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na lapinga, na uhembe woha watutumwiki.”
He spoke to them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been leavened.”
34 Yesu aujovili msambi wa vandu genago goha kwa miluhumu, kawaka chindu cheajovili changali miluhumu,
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables; he did not speak to them without using a parable.
35 Muni lijambu leajovili mlota wa Chapanga litimilayi, “Yati nijova nawu kwa luhumu, yati nikuvajovela mambu gegafiyiki kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima.”
This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Kangi Yesu avalagili vandu vala, akayingila munyumba. Vawuliwa vaki vamhambalili vakamjovela, “Utidandaulila luhumu lwa masindi kumgunda.”
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 Yesu akavayangula, “Mmija mbeyu zabwina ndi Mwana wa Mundu
So he said to them in response, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Mgunda wula ndi pamulima. Mbeyu zabwina zila ndi vandu vala unkosi ndi wavi. Nambu masindi gala ndi vandu va yula Mhakau.
The field is the world, and the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. The tares are the sons of the evil one,
39 Mundu likoko yula mweamijili masindi ndi Setani. Mabenu ndi mwishu wa mulima uwu, vabenaji ndi Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Ngati chavitupula masindi na kugayocha motu, ndi yati cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana wa Mundu yati akuvatuma Vamitumu vaki va Chapanga vavayola kuhuma ku Unkosi waki voha vevibudisa vandu kwa Chapanga na vevavi na matendu gahakau,
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all stumbling blocks and those who practice lawlessness.
42 na kuvataga mulitanulu la motu ukali kwenuko yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Kangi, vandu vevihenga matendu gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati ving'asima ngati lilanga muunkosi wa Dadi wavi. Hinu mweavi na makutu ndi ayuwana!”
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana ngati vindu vya mashonga gamahele vyevifiyiki kumgunda. Mundu mmonga ayiwene, akafiya kavili. Ahekili neju, hati akahamba kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na akagula mgunda wula.”
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and in his joy he went and sold all that he had and bought the field.
45 “Kavili Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na mgulisa vindu mweilonda chindu cha mashonga gamahele neju chechikemelewa lulu.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.
46 Peapatili lulu yimonga yeyiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele neju, akahamba, kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na kugula chindu chila.”
When he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 “Mewawa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na ngwanda wa somba weujwigiwi munyanja, kulova somba ndalindali.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish.
48 Paumemili, valova somba vahutili pandumba, vakatama na kuhagula somba zabwina na kuvika mumadengu gavi, na somba zezawolili vakataga.
When it was full, the fishermen drew it to shore. Then they sat down and put the good fish into containers, but the bad ones they threw away.
49 Chenichi ndi cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu, Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga yati vihumila na kupangula vandu vabwina na vandu vahakau, (aiōn g165)
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous (aiōn g165)
50 kangi yati vakuvataga vandu vahakau mulitanulu la motu, kwenuko ndi yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.”
and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Yesu akavakota, “Wu, mukugamanya mambu goha aga?” Vakamyangula, “Ena.”
Jesus said to them, “Do you understand all these things?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Mwene akavajovela, “Hinu ndi kila muwula wa malagizu mweajiwulili kuuvala unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, iwanangana ngati mkolo nyumba mweiwusa vindu muchibana vya mashonga gamahele vyamupya na vyakadeni.”
Then he said to them, “Every scribe that has been trained as a disciple for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”
53 Yesu peamali kujova miluhumu yeniyo awukili pandu pala,
When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 akahamba kumuji wavi. Akatumbula kuwula vandu munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, vevamyuwini vakakangasa, vakajova, “Mwenuyu apatili koki luhala ulu?” Na uhotola wa kuhenga gachinamtiti?
Then he went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?
55 Wu, mwenuyu lepi mwana wa yula mhongola mikongo? Na nyina waki ikemiwa lepi Maliya na valongo vaki, lepi Yakobo na Yosefu na Simoni na Yuda?
Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother's name Mary, and are not his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56 Valumbu vaki voha nakutama pamonga na tete? Hinu agapatili koki mambu ago goha?
Are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 Vabeli kumpokela, nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mlota wa Chapanga itopeswa kila pandu, nambu nakutopeswa pamuji wa kunyumba yaki mwene!”
And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
58 Hinu ndava ya kubela kumsadika kwavi, Yesu nakuhenga gachinamtiti yamahele kula.
And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
