< Maluko 4 >

1 Ahanda abha manyizywe mu shinjhe izhumbi. Ni bhunga ingosi ihubhungana ihazyhungula, ahinjila muhati inyitu li musumbi, ahakhala. Ibhuga yunthi ihali izywungulile mushinje munsumbi mu fukweni.
And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Abhamanyizhwa inongwa inyinji huvifwani, ayanga wa bhene hunsundo zyakwe.
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Uvhi ikopba ihabhalile atote.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Pali atota, zimo imbeyu zyalagala mwidala, inyonyizywahinza zywalya.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Imbeyu zimo zywalaga mumwala, pasipali ninzhi inyinji iyaye. Mara zikanyauka, kwa sababu hazikuwa na udongo wakutosha.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Lelo isanya palyahatukula, zywatenguha, lelo pheposazywali na kholo zyahumaa.
And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Imbeyu zimo zywalagala pahati pamivhwa. Amivhwagazi puta, saga zhwasiga indundu zywa zwunthi.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Imbeyu izwenje zhwalagala munzhi inyinza zhwapa indundu pazi wonjelela, zimo zihasagala along gatatu sana, zimo malogo tanda, na zimo malogo mia.”
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Ahayanga, “Wabhunti uwi makutu agahuvhwe, naayuvhaje!”
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 U Yesu pahavha mwene, bhala habha phiphi nu mwene bhala ilongo nabhantu bhantu bhahabhuzywa ehusu ivifwani.
And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Ahayanga wavhene, “Amwe mpewilwe utawala uwa Nguluvhi. Lelo bhala abhalihunzi shila hatu wayanje nivifwani, ili gawenya, ena wenya,
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 lelo hawenya, phepo pahuvhwa, lelo sahuvhwa wawenya, lelo sawenya wala hawe lewa nahuvhe, lelo gabhe bhagaluhananga Ungulubhi abhahoshelanga.”
that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Ahayanga wabhene, “Ishi samuwelewa ivifwani ivhi? Mugawezwa bhuli awelewe ifwani ivhinje?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Ikopha itotile izyo.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Lelo bhala bhalagala mushinjhe mwidala, papizywa lwatotilwe. Pala pabhahuvha, pepo uSetano ahiza naweje izywo lila lwatotilwe muhati yao.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Na bhamo bhala bhatwa mumwala palyuvha izywa, shalubhilo shalulo bhalipola huwaushe.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Sabhanakholo gangunthi muhahati yao, lelo vhajimba humuda ufupi. Amayimba na yushe wao paviweza hunongwa yizyo vhafiha bhambumila.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Bhamo vhala bhatotwa kati yimivha bhahuvha izywo,
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 lelo ayimba agamunzhi akhopelwe nishuma nivinyonya zwa mambo aganji, huhuwaingia nasupe izywo na limenwa apape amadudu. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Na bhawili abhabhatotilwe munzhi inyinza. Bhalwuvha izywo nali pashele bhapapa amandundu: bhamo malongo gatatu bhamo malongo tanda bhamo mia moja.”
And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 U Yesu abhambula, “Je unaleta ta ndani ya nyumba nakuweka panzhi ishitundu, au pansi pashitala? Uleta muhati na bhishe pamwanya pakinara.
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Na hami hahabhajile afise asahagabhoneha, nahakuna siri iyasiga abhapazeru.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Khawele uwimakutu gahuvhe ayuvhwaje!”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 Akawaambia, “Mubhanje maso na hala amuhuvhwa, alingane ishipimo shila ishampima ndio shisho shamwapimilwa shayonjelezewa hulimwe.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Afutane aje uhula uwanao ayejelela vinji tee, ulakwasanao afume wamwe ene vyayegwa navila uvya navyo.”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Ayanga, “Utawala uwa Ngulubhi ufananasiwa nu muntu uwa vyala imbeyu mwilongo.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Pahagona adamula na shabwi imbeyu zyatiuha nakule, ikiwa haga hamanya shifumile.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Izhi ifumia imbeyu yiiyo asoti amatundu baada yipo uwezya, nanthele imbeyu izyazikhomile.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Lelo imbeyu ya payakho ma atwala inhengo, pipo avune hufishile.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Ayaanga, “Tufwananiswe utawala wa Ngulubhi nahanthushi, au tumile hanthuuli amatumile hanthu uwuli awelezyezye?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Ili nishi imbeyu yiladai, lelo pihatotwaga hali hadodo sana kuko imbeyu zywunthi munshi.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Hata lula ulwitothilwe igosi sana kuliko vhu nthi ivha vitotilwe mubusitani ivheha inzamba ingosi nazi inyenji ziwezya akhale nabheshe ivhansu ali nganaje inzunda yakwe.”
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Amafano aminji amanyizywe ayanjile inongwa wa bhene, shinza ishabhawezizye awelewe,
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 haga ayangaga anabho bila fwano. Lelo lula ulimwene, ahabha bhula asundwa bhakwe shila hantu.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Lelo isiku ilwo ulwe vhela pawafishile, ayanga wabhene,
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 “Sanli upande uwa bhili”. Pipo bhaileha ibhuga, bhahamwenga uYesu, uwakati bhuwo ahavha mwituli. Amatuli aganji galipandwimo numwene.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Ihala ihali ihavhulungwe amawimbi gahijilaga muhati mwintuli na ituli nagamimile.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Lelo uYesu yuyo alikuwa kwenye shetri, ali agonelile mwisoho. Bhahadamusya, bhayanga, “Wamwalimo, hangu saga ati tufwa?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Abhuha audamila ihala aibhula inzumbi, '“Ibhe shinza, huwaushe”. Ihala ihaleha, wahavha miee sana.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Ayanga wa bhene, “Yenu mu hwogopa? Samulinima bado?”
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 Bhahabha nihofu moyo gabho bhayangana vhene kwa vhene, “Unu yunanu antele, hata ihula ihumwogopa?”.
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
