Matayu 9
1 Yesu kakweniti mumtumbwi na kalokiti litanda na kuwuya mlushi lwakuwi.
Afterward Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.
2 Wantu wamu wamjegiti muntu yakalewelekiti nshimba, wamgonjeka mumkeka. Yesu pakawoniti njimiru yawu, kamgambira muntu yakalewelekiti, “Naguwera na lyoga mwana gwangu! Gulegiziwa vidoda vyagutenditi.”
There some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Courage, child! Your sins are forgiven.”
3 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru wanja kulitakulira weni, “Muntu ayu kankumwigilanga Mlungu!”
Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
4 Yesu kagamaniti maholu gawu, su kawagambira, “Iwera hashi mwankulihola vitwatira vidoda?
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus exclaimed, “Why do your cherish such wicked thoughts?
5 Hashi, shizotopa ng'anji shii, ‘Kutakula vidoda vyagutenditi vilekiziwa,’ ama kutakula, ‘Gugoloki na gugendigendi’?
Which, I ask, is the easier? – to say ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 Hanuwalanguziyi kuwera Mwana gwa Muntu kana uwezu pasipanu wa kuwalekeziya wantu vidoda vyawatenda.” Su kamgambira muntu yakalewelekiti, “Gugoloki, gutoli mkeka gwaku na gugendi ukaya kwaku.”
But to show you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” – then he said to the paralyzed man – “Get up, take up your bed, and return to your home.”
7 Muntu yakalewelekiti kagoloka na kagenda ukaya kwakuwi.
The man got up and went to his home.
8 Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti vitwatira vyavilawiliti, walikangashiti na wamkwisiti Mlungu yakawayupiti wantu uwezu wa ntambu ayi.
When the crowd saw this, they were awe-struck, and praised God for giving such power to human beings.
9 Yesu kawukiti pahala paliya, na pakaweriti kankugendagenda, kamwoniti mtola kodi yawamshema Matayu, kalivaga palihengu lyakuwi. Yesu kamgambira, “Gunfati.” Matayu kagoloka na kamfata.
As Jesus went along, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me.” Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Yesu pakaweriti ukaya kwa Matayu kankuliya shiboga, watola kodi wavuwa na watenda vidoda wiziti kuliya shiboga pamuhera na Yesu na wafundwa wakuwi.
And, later on, when he was having dinner in the house, a number of tax collectors and outcasts came in and took their places at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Mafalisayu wamu pawawoniti aga, wawakosiya wafundwa wakuwi, “Iwera hashi mfunda gwenu kankuliya shiboga pamuhera na watola kodi na yawatenda vidoda?”
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat in the company of tax collectors and outcasts?”
12 Yesu kawapikaniriti na kawankula, “Wantu wakomu wamfira ndiri mganga, kumbiti walweli hera ndo wamfira mganga.
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
13 Mlungu kalonga, Mgendi mwakalifundi Lilembu ali linanagala lyana mana gaa, ‘Neni ntakula nfira lusungu, nfira ndiri tambiku.’ Niza ndiri kuwashema wantu yawalihola wankumfiriziya Mlungu, kumbiti yawatenda vidoda.”
Go and learn what this means – ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.”
14 Shakapanu wantumini wa Yohani Mbatiza wamgenderiti Yesu, wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi, twenga pamuhera na Mafalisayu tuleka kuliya, kumbiti wafundwa waku waleka ndiri kuliya shiboga?”
Then John’s disciples came to Jesus, and asked, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?”
15 Yesu kawankula, “Hashi, mulihola kuwera wahenga pawawera mumsambu gwa ndowa wahinginika pawawera na mpalu gwa ndowa? Nakaka hapeni wahinginiki! Kumbiti lishaka lyankwiza pawamuwusiya mpalu gwa ndowa, ndo womberi hawaleki kuliya.
Jesus answered, “Can the groom’s friends mourn as long as the groom is with them? But the days will come, when the groom will be taken away from them, and they will fast then.
16 “Kwahera muntu yakasona shiraka sha nguwu ya syayi munguwu ngona toziya shiraka ashi hashidegi nguwu ngona na padegekiti palii hapongereki.
Nobody ever puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for such a patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.
17 Ama kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweza kulekera divayi ya syayi mumihaku ya lukuli lugona, pakatenda hangu mihaku igona haipantiki na divayi hayitiki. Kumbiti divayi ya syayi ilekerwa mumihaku ya lukuli ya syayi na vyoseri havitulwi weri.”
Nor do people put new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are lost; but they put new wine into fresh skins, and so both are preserved.”
18 Yesu pakaweriti kankutakula aga, afisa gwa Shiyawudi kamwiziriti, kamsuntamalira na kamgambira, “Muhinga gwangu kahowa vinuvinu, kumbiti shondi shondi, gwizi gumtuliri liwoku lyaku nayomberi hakaweri mkomu.”
While Jesus was saying this, a synagogue leader came up and bowed to the ground before him. “My daughter,” he said, “has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life.”
19 Yesu kawuka pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi, wamfatiti afisa.
So Jesus rose and followed him, and his disciples went also.
20 Mdala yakaweriti mlweri gwa kusuma mwazi kwa mivinja lilongu na mbili, kamwiziriti Yesu kumbeli na kuyishinkula nguwu yakuwi.
But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.
21 Kalihola mumoyu mwakuwi, “Handa panshinkula nguwu, haweri mkomu.”
“If I only touch his cloak,” she said to herself, “I will get well.”
22 Su, Yesu kagalambuka kamwona, kamgambira, “Mhinga gwangu, nagwana lyoga! Njimiru yaku ikuponiziya.” Pala palii mdala ulii kapona kusuma mwazi.
Turning and seeing her, Jesus said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has delivered you.” And at that very moment she became well.
23 Shakapanu Yesu kingira mnumba mwa afisa ulii. Pakawawoniti wagomba luperembi lwa kudaya na wantu wavua wankudaya,
When Jesus reached the leader’s house, seeing the flute players, and a number of people all in confusion,
24 kalonga, “Kila muntu kalawi kunja! Muhinga ayu kahowa ndiri, kumbiti kagonja hera!” Womberi wamseka Yesu.
he said, “Go away, the little girl is not dead; she is asleep.” They began to laugh at him;
25 Su, pawawawusiyiti wantu kulawa kunja, Yesu kingiriti mnumba kwa muhinga yakahowiti na kamkola liwoku lyakuwi na yomberi kagoloka.
but, when the people had been sent out, Jesus went in, and took the little girl’s hand, and she rose.
26 Vitwatila avi vieniyiti pa isi yoseri ilii.
The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
27 Yesu kawukiti pahala paliya na pakaweriti kankugendagenda, wanalwisi awili wanjiti kumfata. Womberi wabotanga, “Gutuwoneri lusungu Mwana gwa Dawudi!”
As Jesus was passing on from there, he was followed by two blind men, who kept calling out, “Take pity on us, Son of David!”
28 Yesu pakingiriti mnumba, wanalwisi wawili wamgendera, nayomberi kawakosiya, “Hashi, mjimira handa neni nana uwezu wa kuwaponiziya?” Womberi wamwankula, “Yina mtuwa!”
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Master!” they answered.
29 Shakapanu Yesu kagashinkula masu gawu, kalonga, “Na iweri kwa mwenga ntambu yamjimira!”
Then he touched their eyes, and said, “It will be according to your faith.”
30 Na masu gawu gawera makomu. Su Yesu kawalagalira, “Namumgambira muntu yoseri shitwatila ashi!”
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly cautioned them. “See that no one knows of it,” he said.
31 Kumbiti womberi wawuka na wabwera visoweru vya Yesu pa isi ilii yoseri.
But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
32 Wantu pawaweriti wankugenda zawu, wantu wamonga wamjegera Yesu muntu yakaweriti bubu toziya kaweriti na washamshera.
Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;
33 Katepu hera shamshera pawamlaviyiti, muntu ulii kanja kutakula. Wantu woseri walikangashiti nentu pawalonga, “Hatweni woni shitwatila gambira ashi mu Israeli!”
and, as soon as the demon had been driven out, the dumb man spoke. The people were astonished at this, and exclaimed, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Kumbiti Mafalisayu walonga, “Mkulu gwa washamshera ndo yakamupiti Yesu likakala lya kuwalaviya washamshera.”
But the Pharisees said, “He drives out the demons by the help of the chief of the demons.”
35 Yesu katyangiriti lushi zoseri na vijiji vyoseri. Kafunditi munumba za Mlungu, na kabweriti Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Ufalumi wa Mlungu, na kuwaponiziya wantu malweri ga ntambu zoseri.
Jesus went around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
36 Su, pakawawoniti vipinga vipinga vya wantu, moyu gwakuwi gumemiti lusungu, toziya waweriti watoka na wanalyoga gambira kondolu wahera mlolera.
But, when he saw the crowds, his heart was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and harassed, like sheep without a shepherd;
37 Su kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Mabenu gavuwa, kumbiti watenda lihengu lya kubena wavua ndiri.
and he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.
38 Su, mumluwi yakana mabenu hakajegi watenda lihengu wabeni viboga vyakuwi.”
Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send laborers to gather in his harvest.”
