Matei 9
1 Yesu akayingila muwatu na kukupuka munyanja na kuhika kumuji wavi.
He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into 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.”
Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralysed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Vawula vangi va malagizu vakatumbula kuhololela, “Mundu uyu akumliga Chapanga!”
Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 Yesu amanyili maholo gavi akajova, “Ndava kyani mhololela gahakau mumtima winu?
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Chinonopa kiki kujova, ‘Ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga waku,’ Amala kujova, ‘Yima, ugenda?’
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get 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 you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 Na mundu mwenuyo akawuka na kuhamba kunyumba yaki.
He arose and departed to his house.
8 Msambi wa vandu wula pevagaweni ago, vakakangasa na kuyogopa, vakamulumbalila Chapanga mweavapelii vandu uhotola wenuwu.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled and glorified God, who had given such authority 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.
As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got 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.
As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down 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?”
When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Yesu akavayuwana, akayangula, “Vandu vangalwala nakugana mlamisa, nambu vana matamu ndi vakumgana mlamisa.
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
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 you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
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 John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
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.”
Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be 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.
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
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.”
Neither do people put new wine into old wine skins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.”
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.”
While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshipped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Yesu akayima na kumlanda na vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda.
Jesus got up and followed him, as 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.
Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe 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 just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Yesu ang'anamwiki na kumlola akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kangamala mtima kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.” Mau yula akalama lukumbi lulalula.
But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Yesu ayingili munyumba ya chilongosi yula na peavawene vabeta chitolilo na msambi wa vandu, vivembeneka na kugalawuka,
When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 avajovili vandu vala “Muwuka pandu apa! Msikana akona mumi, agonili ndu.” Vene vamkamheka.
he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 Hinu msambi wa vandu pavawukili, Yesu akayingila mugati na kumkamula msikana yula chiwoko, na msikana yula akayima.
But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 Malovi ago gadandasiki neju pamulima wula woha.
The report of this went out into all that land.
27 Yesu akawuka pandu penapo, na peavi mukuhamba, vangalola vavili vamlandili na kuywanga, “Mwana wa Daudi utihengela lipyana!”
As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out 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.”
When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, 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 done to you.”
30 Mihu gavi gadindwiki. Namwene Yesu akavabesa neju, “Mkoto kumjovela mundu yeyoha lijambu lila.”
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 Nambu vene vawukili na kugadandaula malovi ga Yesu pamulima wula woha.
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Vandu pavawukili, vandu vangi vamletili Yesu mundu mmonga ngajova ndava ya kutalaliwa na mzuka.
As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 Bahapo mzuka wula pawavingiwi, mundu yula akatumbula kujova kavili. Vandu voha vakakangasa na kujova “Lijambu ngati lenili kawaka peliwonekini pa Isilaeli!”
When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marvelled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Nambu Vafalisayu vakajova, “Akuyivinga mizuka kwa makakala ga mkulu wa mizuka.”
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out 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.
Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness amongst the people.
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 multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mabenu gamahele, nambu vabenaji vadebe.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the labourers are few.
38 Hinu muyupa mkolo mabenu gaki avatuma vanalihengu vabena mabenu gaki.”
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out labourers into his harvest.”
