Matayu 9
1 Yesu kakweniti mumtumbwi na kalokiti litanda na kuwuya mlushi lwakuwi.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Wantu wamu wamjegiti muntu yakalewelekiti nshimba, wamgonjeka mumkeka. Yesu pakawoniti njimiru yawu, kamgambira muntu yakalewelekiti, “Naguwera na lyoga mwana gwangu! Gulegiziwa vidoda vyagutenditi.”
Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
3 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru wanja kulitakulira weni, “Muntu ayu kankumwigilanga Mlungu!”
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 Yesu kagamaniti maholu gawu, su kawagambira, “Iwera hashi mwankulihola vitwatira vidoda?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Hashi, shizotopa ng'anji shii, ‘Kutakula vidoda vyagutenditi vilekiziwa,’ ama kutakula, ‘Gugoloki na gugendigendi’?
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise 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 prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
7 Muntu yakalewelekiti kagoloka na kagenda ukaya kwakuwi.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti vitwatira vyavilawiliti, walikangashiti na wamkwisiti Mlungu yakawayupiti wantu uwezu wa ntambu ayi.
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
9 Yesu kawukiti pahala paliya, na pakaweriti kankugendagenda, kamwoniti mtola kodi yawamshema Matayu, kalivaga palihengu lyakuwi. Yesu kamgambira, “Gunfati.” Matayu kagoloka na kamfata.
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, 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 while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party 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?”
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Yesu kawapikaniriti na kawankula, “Wantu wakomu wamfira ndiri mganga, kumbiti walweli hera ndo wamfira mganga.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
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.”
But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
14 Shakapanu wantumini wa Yohani Mbatiza wamgenderiti Yesu, wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi, twenga pamuhera na Mafalisayu tuleka kuliya, kumbiti wafundwa waku waleka ndiri kuliya shiboga?”
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but 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.
"Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
16 “Kwahera muntu yakasona shiraka sha nguwu ya syayi munguwu ngona toziya shiraka ashi hashidegi nguwu ngona na padegekiti palii hapongereki.
No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be 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 pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
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 He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19 Yesu kawuka pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi, wamfatiti afisa.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Mdala yakaweriti mlweri gwa kusuma mwazi kwa mivinja lilongu na mbili, kamwiziriti Yesu kumbeli na kuyishinkula nguwu yakuwi.
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 Kalihola mumoyu mwakuwi, “Handa panshinkula nguwu, haweri mkomu.”
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Su, Yesu kagalambuka kamwona, kamgambira, “Mhinga gwangu, nagwana lyoga! Njimiru yaku ikuponiziya.” Pala palii mdala ulii kapona kusuma mwazi.
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23 Shakapanu Yesu kingira mnumba mwa afisa ulii. Pakawawoniti wagomba luperembi lwa kudaya na wantu wavua wankudaya,
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 kalonga, “Kila muntu kalawi kunja! Muhinga ayu kahowa ndiri, kumbiti kagonja hera!” Womberi wamseka Yesu.
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Su, pawawawusiyiti wantu kulawa kunja, Yesu kingiriti mnumba kwa muhinga yakahowiti na kamkola liwoku lyakuwi na yomberi kagoloka.
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26 Vitwatila avi vieniyiti pa isi yoseri ilii.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 Yesu kawukiti pahala paliya na pakaweriti kankugendagenda, wanalwisi awili wanjiti kumfata. Womberi wabotanga, “Gutuwoneri lusungu Mwana gwa Dawudi!”
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity 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!”
And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
29 Shakapanu Yesu kagashinkula masu gawu, kalonga, “Na iweri kwa mwenga ntambu yamjimira!”
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 Na masu gawu gawera makomu. Su Yesu kawalagalira, “Namumgambira muntu yoseri shitwatila ashi!”
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Kumbiti womberi wawuka na wabwera visoweru vya Yesu pa isi ilii yoseri.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 Wantu pawaweriti wankugenda zawu, wantu wamonga wamjegera Yesu muntu yakaweriti bubu toziya kaweriti na washamshera.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 Katepu hera shamshera pawamlaviyiti, muntu ulii kanja kutakula. Wantu woseri walikangashiti nentu pawalonga, “Hatweni woni shitwatila gambira ashi mu Israeli!”
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34 Kumbiti Mafalisayu walonga, “Mkulu gwa washamshera ndo yakamupiti Yesu likakala lya kuwalaviya washamshera.”
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out 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.
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 Su, pakawawoniti vipinga vipinga vya wantu, moyu gwakuwi gumemiti lusungu, toziya waweriti watoka na wanalyoga gambira kondolu wahera mlolera.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37 Su kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Mabenu gavuwa, kumbiti watenda lihengu lya kubena wavua ndiri.
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 Su, mumluwi yakana mabenu hakajegi watenda lihengu wabeni viboga vyakuwi.”
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
