Matei 9
1 Yesu akayingila muwatu na kukupuka munyanja na kuhika kumuji wavi.
And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.
2 Penapo vandu vamletili mundu mmonga mweapoli higa, vamgonisi pa lusongwani. Yesu paavaweni chavisadika, akamjovela mundu mweapoli yula, “Jipolesa mtima mwana vangu! Kumbudila kwaku Chapanga ulekekiswi.”
And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.
3 Vawula vangi va malagizu vakatumbula kuhololela, “Mundu uyu akumliga Chapanga!”
And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
4 Yesu amanyili maholo gavi akajova, “Ndava kyani mhololela gahakau mumtima winu?
And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?
5 Chinonopa kiki kujova, ‘Ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga waku,’ Amala kujova, ‘Yima, ugenda?’
For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?
6 Hinu, nigana mmanya kuvya Mwana wa Mundu anauhotola pamulima kuvalekekesa vandu gevambudili Chapanga.” Penapo ndi akamjovela mundu mweapoli yula, “Yima ugega lusongwani lwaku amba kunyumba yaku!”
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic, ) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
7 Na mundu mwenuyo akawuka na kuhamba kunyumba yaki.
And he rose up and went to his house.
8 Msambi wa vandu wula pevagaweni ago, vakakangasa na kuyogopa, vakamulumbalila Chapanga mweavapelii vandu uhotola wenuwu.
But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
9 Yesu akawuka penapo, ndi peavili mukuhamba amuwene mundu mmonga mweikemiwa Matei, atamili munyumba ya kutolela kodi. Hinu, Yesu amjovili, “Unilanda.” Namwene akayima na kumlanda.
And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 Yesu peatamili munyumba ya Matei, kulya chakulya, vatola kodi vamahele na vevakumbudila Chapanga vabwelili kulya nayu, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Pagati ya Vafalisayu vangi pavagaweni genago, vakavakota vawuliwa vaki, “Ndava kyani muwula winu ilya pamonga na vatola kodi na vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga?”
And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 Yesu akavayuwana, akayangula, “Vandu vangalwala nakugana mlamisa, nambu vana matamu ndi vakumgana mlamisa.
But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13 Hinu mukajiwula malovi aga mana yaki kyani, ‘Nigana lipyana, lepi luteta lwa kutinyisa.’ Nibweli lepi kuvakemela vandu vevihenga matendu gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga, nambu ndava ya vevakumbudila Chapanga.”
But go and learn what [that] is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.
14 Kangi, vawuliwa va Yohani Mbatizaji vamubwelili Yesu, vakamkota, “Tete na Vafalisayu tikujihinisa kulya chakulya pamahele ndava ya Bambu. Ndava kyani vawuliwa vaku vakujihinisa lepi kulya chakulya?”
Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Yesu akayangula, “Wu, vandu vevagongoliwi kumselebuko wa pandowa yihotoleka vatama ngolongondi kuni vavi pamonga na mkolo ndowa? Lepi, nambu lwalabwela lukumbi lwa mkolo ndowa kuwusiwa, lwenulo ndi lukumbi lwavene kujihinisa kulya chakulya.”
And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “Vandu vitota lepi chilaka cha nyula ya mupya munyula ya lindimula. Muni chilaka chenicho yati chipapula neju nyula lindimula na pandu pala yati piyonjokeseka neju kupapuka.
But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17 Vandu nakusopa divayi ya mupya muchihaku cha chikumba chechilali. Ngati vasopii muchihaku cha chikumba chechilali yati chibayuka na divayi yati yiyitika. Nambu vandu visopa divayi ya mupya muchihaku cha chikumba cha mupya. Na vyoha, vihaku na divayi yati visindimala bwina.”
Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18 Yesu peavi akona angamala kujova malovi ago, chilongosi mmonga Myawudi ambwelili, akamfugamila na kujova, “Msikana wangu afwili hinu. Nambu chondi tihamba ukamvikila mawoko gaku yati itama kangi.”
As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
19 Yesu akayima na kumlanda na vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda.
And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 Mau mmonga, avi na utamu wa kuhuma ngasi lukumbi lwa miyaka kumi na yivili, amlandili Yesu mumbele, na kupamisa lugunyilu lwa nyula yaki.
And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
21 Akitili chenicho ndava ya aholalili mumtima waki kuvya, “Nakapamisa ndu nyula yaki, yati nilama.”
for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22 Yesu ang'anamwiki na kumlola akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kangamala mtima kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.” Mau yula akalama lukumbi lulalula.
But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 Yesu ayingili munyumba ya chilongosi yula na peavawene vabeta chitolilo na msambi wa vandu, vivembeneka na kugalawuka,
And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24 avajovili vandu vala “Muwuka pandu apa! Msikana akona mumi, agonili ndu.” Vene vamkamheka.
he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 Hinu msambi wa vandu pavawukili, Yesu akayingila mugati na kumkamula msikana yula chiwoko, na msikana yula akayima.
But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26 Malovi ago gadandasiki neju pamulima wula woha.
And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27 Yesu akawuka pandu penapo, na peavi mukuhamba, vangalola vavili vamlandili na kuywanga, “Mwana wa Daudi utihengela lipyana!”
And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
28 Yesu peayingili munyumba, vangalola vala vamhambili namwene avakotili, “Wu, mwisadika kuvya nihotola kuvalamisa?” Vene vakayangula, “Ena, Bambu.”
And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29 Penapo Yesu akavapamisi mumihu gavi na kujova, “Ndi, gavyai mewa kwa nyenye ngati chemwisadika!”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
30 Mihu gavi gadindwiki. Namwene Yesu akavabesa neju, “Mkoto kumjovela mundu yeyoha lijambu lila.”
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.
31 Nambu vene vawukili na kugadandaula malovi ga Yesu pamulima wula woha.
But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.
32 Vandu pavawukili, vandu vangi vamletili Yesu mundu mmonga ngajova ndava ya kutalaliwa na mzuka.
But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
33 Bahapo mzuka wula pawavingiwi, mundu yula akatumbula kujova kavili. Vandu voha vakakangasa na kujova “Lijambu ngati lenili kawaka peliwonekini pa Isilaeli!”
And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.
34 Nambu Vafalisayu vakajova, “Akuyivinga mizuka kwa makakala ga mkulu wa mizuka.”
But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35 Yesu avi mukugenda mumiji na muhijiji yoha, awulayi munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi. Ikokosa Lilovi la Bwina la unkosi wa Chapanga, na kuvalamisa matamu gavi na kuvawusila ng'ani zavi.
And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.
36 Hinu, peauwene msambi wa vandu, avahengili lipyana ndava vatotokili neju changali utangatila, ndi vavi na mtahu ngati mambelele gangali mdimaji.
But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mabenu gamahele, nambu vabenaji vadebe.
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;
38 Hinu muyupa mkolo mabenu gaki avatuma vanalihengu vabena mabenu gaki.”
supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
