1 Antele ahijila muhati mwaputile muka mwali nu muntu uwikono ugwaupolile.
On another occasion Jesus went in to a synagogue, where there was a man whose hand was withered.
2 Abhantu bhamo bhadagaga muphiphi huje bhenye khashele azahuponyeisi kuli Sabato aje bhatake.
And they watched Jesus closely, to see if he would cure the man on the Sabbath, so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
3 U Yesu ahabhula umuntu uwikhono ugwagupolile bhuha imilila pahati iyibhugaine.”
“Stand out in the middle,” Jesus said to the man with the withered hand;
4 Ishihabhala abhantu, “Jee shinza abho iliza lwaponwe pisiku li Sabato au ilwa joje; ulwa sikeli, au gasa?” Gawaziwa aponwe agoje.
and to the people he said, “Is it allowable to do good at the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or destroy it?”
5 Bhamamhee ahabhenya wilwoyo asononoha pipoiliyaukhame wimoyo gao ahabhula muntu, “Goloswa ukhono gwaho.” Augoloswa nu Yesu aguponwa ukho gwakwe.
As they remained silent, Jesus looked around at them in anger, grieving at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man stretched it out; and his hand had become sound.
6 Mafalisayo bhafumahuzi bhahabhomba zimozimo nu Mahelode aziade umwene nahugoje.
Immediately on leaving the synagogue, the Pharisees and the Herodians united in laying a plot against Jesus, to put him to death.
7 Phipo uYesu, nasandwa bhakwe bhashila hunzumbi, ni mbhuga nhingosi iyabhantu ihabhadagaga ihafumaga hu Galilaya na Uyahudi
Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, followed by a great number of people from Galilee.
8 na fume Yelusalemu nafume indumaya na witanzi yi Yolodani na vhelane yitilo ni Sidoni, imbhuga ingosi, phihuvhwa shila hantu ahaga ahabhomba, bhabhiza wa mwene.
A great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country around Tyre and Sidon.
9 Ahabhamhula asundwa bhakwe atayalisye itulyi idodo kwa ajili ya mwene phipo imbhuga, ili bhangaje husoje.
So Jesus told his disciples to keep a small boat close by, so that the crowd would not crush him.
10 Pipo abhapo mwaga winji, ilikila mntu uwali na malamba anihu hufishile ili apata manzwe.
For he had cured many of them, and so people kept crowding around him, so all who were sick might touch him.
11 Paphunti ipepo ichafu panwalolaga zywa gwaga paka panzi witanzilwa kwe nalile, bhayangaga, “Awa uli Mwana wa Ngulubhi”.
The foul spirits, too, whenever they caught sight of him, flung themselves down before him, and screamed out, “You are the Son of God”!
12 Abhamlila abhasimisizya agamde awubhushe.
But he repeatedly warned them not to make him known.
13 Abhala pamwanya pigamba, abhakuda abhanzaga, mbahabhala wa mwene.
Jesus made his way up the hill, and called those whom he wished; and they went to him.
14 Abhasalula ilongo limo na bhantu bhabhili(abhakaga atumwa), ili bhambe palushimo nu mwene ili awe zywaje atume alu bhilile,
He appointed twelve – whom he also named ‘apostles’ – so that they might be with him, and that he might send them out as his messengers, to preach,
15 na bhamlila azywefhe iphepo.
and with power to drive out demons.
16 Abhasalula ilongo nabhaji bhabhile uSimoni iyapela itawa ilya Petulo,
So he appointed the Twelve – Peter (which was the name that Jesus gave to Simon),
17 Yakobo umwana wa Zebedayo, nu Yohana uholo wakwe uYakobo, apelilwe itawa ilwahuje Bonagesi, ibho ni bhana awungume,
James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John (to whom he gave the name of Boanerges, which means the Thunderers),
18 na Andeleya, Filipo, Bartholomayi, Mathayo, Tomaso, Yakobo, umwana wa Alfayo, thadato, Simoni Mkananayo,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19 na uYuda Iskariote, ambaye asambushila.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed him.
20 Nhipo ahabhala khaya, mbhuga ya bhantu bhahinzha bhunti nabho nanthele, saga bhahawezywa na hulwe imbumunda.
Jesus went into a house; and again a crowd collected, so that they were not even able to eat their food.
21 Abhana bhakwe pabhuvha ahapango mhiho, bhahabhala hukhute leloinjele, zyakwe zulushile, “Amerukwa na akili”.
When his relatives heard of it, they went to take charge of him, for they said that he was out of his mind.
22 Asimbi bhahenza afume mu Yelusalemu bhayanga, “Asangi ne Beelzebuli,” uwa tawali ni phepo awefwa amapepo”.
The teachers of the Law, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, “He has Beelzebul in him! He drives the demons out by the help of their chief.”
23 Yesu abhakuga wamwene nana yanje navho hushifwani, “Haga pauli uSetano aha mwefya Setano?
So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 Utawala khaugabhanishe bhuwo, utawa uwo ungimilila.
When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;
25 Inyumba khigabhanishe yiyo i nyumba iyosigawezya awemelele.
and when a household is divided against itself, it will not be able to last.
26 Ngashele uSetano ainushe shinje ishashivhi yuyo na gabhanishe, hangi mivhila, na azabhe afishile hu mwisho wakwe.
So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last – his end has come!
27 Lelo nomo uwagawezya hata umo awinjile muhati nyumba iya muntu uwikone nawivhe ivintu vhakwe bila hupinye umwanikhone nasoti khasha abhunga nyaje ivya nyumba.
“No man who has broken into a strong man’s house can carry off his goods, without first tying him up; and not until then will he plunder his house.
28 Lyoli imbabhula ibhivhi zyunthi izywa bhanabha bhantu zyai hobhoshelwa, naligo gawayanga,
I tell you that people will be forgiven everything – their sins, and all the slanders that they utter;
29 lelo uwiliga uhala uzelu hagaihoshe lwa na mwaha anu lozi uwimbivhih uwawila nawila.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever slanders the Holy Spirit remains unforgiven to the end; he has to answer for an enduring sin.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 Yesu alilisema hili kwa sababu walikuwa wakisema, “Ana roho chafu”.
This was said in reply to the charge that he had a foul spirit in him.
31 Pepo anyina naholo bhakwe bhahenza na bhemelele huzi. Bhahatuma umuntu, hukuje.
His mother and his brothers came, and stood outside, and sent to ask him to come to them.
32 Abhantu bhali bhinji bhalipepe numwene bhabhula, “unyina waho naholo bhaho bhali hunzi, bhahu waza awe”.
There was a crowd sitting around Jesus, and some of them said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.”
33 Abhanjibula, “Yu nanu inyina wani na holo bhani?”
“Who is my mother? And my brothers?” was his reply.
34 Ahabhenya bhali bhakhele bhazyungulele, ahayanga, “Enya, ibha bhamaibhani na holo bhani!
Then he looked around on the people sitting in a circle around him, and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 Ngunthi mapezi gakwe Unguluvhi, umuntu uyo holo wani, nanyirumbu wani na yumayi wani.”
Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
