Matei 19
1 Yesu peamali kujova malovi ago, akawuka kumkoa wa ku Galilaya na kuhamba kumuji wa Yudea kumwambu ya mfuleni Yoludani.
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Msambi uvaha wa vandu wamlandili kwenuko, mwene akavalamisa.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Hinu pagati ya Vafalisayu vangi vakambwelela vakamulinga kumkota, “Wuli, ndi chabwina mgosi kumleka mdala waki ndava ya chindu chochoha chila?”
Then the Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Yesu akavayangula, “Wu, mwangasoma mu Mayandiku Gamsopi kuvya Chapanga mweawumbili mundu kutumbula kadeni, amuwumbili mundu mgosi na mdala?
He answered them, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
5 Kangi akajova, ‘Ndava yeniyo, mgosi yati akumleka dadi waki na nyina waki na kuwungana na mdala waki, ndi voha vavili yati vivya higa yimonga.’
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 Ndava yeniyo, ndi lepi kavili vavili, nambu higa yimonga. Cheachiwunganishi Chapanga mundu akoto kuchipangulana.”
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 Nambu Vafalisayu vakamkota, “Ndava kyani, Musa atilagazili yihotoleka mgosi kumpela mdala waki balua na kumleka?”
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Yesu akayangula, “Musa avalekekisi ndava ya kutopa kwa mitima yinu. Nambu nakuvya chenicho kutumbula Chapanga peawumbili mulima.
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki na kugega mdala yungi ikita ugoni nambu ndu ndava ya ukemi ihotola kumleka.”
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
10 Vawuliwa vaki vakamjovela, “Ngati mambu ga mgosi na mdala waki ndi ago, mbanga kukotoka kugega.”
His disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Yesu akavajovela, “Lepi voha vevihotola kuyidakila lilovi lenili, nambu vala vevahotwisi na Chapanga.
But Jesus said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Muni gavi mambu ndalindali gegihenga vagosi vakotoka kugega, vavi vevavelikiwi kahumbi kapecha, vangi ndava vahengiwi na vandu kuvya vakahumbi kapecha na vangi vigega lepi ndava ya Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Mweihotola kuyidakila lilovi lenilo ayidakilayi.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to accept this should accept it.”
13 Kangi vandu vamletili Yesu vana vadebe muni avavikila mawoko na kuvayupila. Nambu vawuliwa vaki vakavahakalila vandu vala.
Then little children were brought to Jesus so that he might lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Muvaleka vana ava vabwela kwa nene, na mkoto kuvabesa, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wa vandu ngati vana venava.”
Yet Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Hinu Yesu peamali kuvavikila mawoko muni avamotisa, ndi akawuka pandu penapo.
And after laying his hands on them, he departed from there.
16 Mundu mmonga amhambili Yesu akamkota, “Muwula, nikita chindu kiki chabwina nivyaa na wumi wa magono goha?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a man came and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Yesu akamyangula, “Ndava kyani ukunikota lijambu la bwina? Avi mmonga ndu mweavi mbwina. Ngati wigana kuvya na wumi wa magono goha, uyidakila mihilu.”
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone. But if yoʋ wish to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Mundu yula akamkota, “Mihilu yoki?” Yesu akamyangula, “Ukoto kukoma, kukita ugoni, kuyiva, kujova udese,
The man said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not steal, Yoʋ shall not give false testimony,
19 vatopesayi dadi waku na nyina waku na umgana muyaku ngati cheukujigana wamwene.”
Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother, and, Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
20 Msongolo yula akamjovela, “Genago goha nigalandili, hinu nihenga kyani neju?”
The young man said to him, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy; what do I still lack?”
21 Yesu akamjovela, “Ngati wigana kuvya chakaka mundu mbwina, uhamba ukagulisa vindu vyaku vyoha. Mashonga ago goha uvapela vangangu na veve yati ukujivikila vindu vyamahele kunani kwa Chapanga, kangi ubwela unilandayi.”
Jesus said to him, “If yoʋ wish to be perfect, go sell what yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
22 Hinu msongolo yula peayuwini malovi gala, akahamba kuni avi ngolongondi neju ndava muni avi na vindu vyamahele aganili lepi kuvilekelesa.
But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Kangi Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Nikuvajovela chakaka, ndi yinonopa mkolo vindu vyamahele kuyingila muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Nikuvajovela kavili yati yiyeyuka kwa hinyama ngati ngamiya kuholota palibowo la sindanu, kuliku mweavi na vindu vyamahele kuyingila muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Vawuliwa vala pevayuwini malovi ago vakakangasa neju, vakamkota Yesu, “Hinu ndi yani mweihotola kusanguliwa?”
When his disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Yesu akavalolokesa, akavajovela “Lijambu lenili lihotoleka lepi kwa mundu, nambu kwa Chapanga mambu goha gihotoleka.”
Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Petili akayangula “Lola,” Tete tileki kila chindu ndava ya kukulanda. Yati tipata kyani?
Then Peter said to him in response, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ; what then will there be for us?”
28 Yesu akavajovela, “Nikuvajovela chakaka, paitama Mwana wa Mundu pachigoda cha ukulu waki, pamulima wa mupya. Mewawa na nyenye mwemunilandili yati mwitama na nene muvigoda kumi na hivili na kuvahamula makabila kumi na gavili ga Isilaeli.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, when all things are made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Mundu yeyoha mwaalekili nyumba amala mlongo waki amala mlumbu amala dadi amala nyina waki amala vana vaki amala migunda yaki ndava ya nene. Yati ipokela mala miya na kuhala wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields for my name's sake, will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Nambu vamahele vevavi va kutumbula yati vivya va mwishu na vevavi va mwishu yati vivya va kutumbula.”
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
