Mateyo 13
1 Yesu pa busuba bopelobo walapula mung'anda, ne kuya kwikala panshi mu mbali mwa lwenje.
On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Kopeleko kwalabungana bantu bangi, Yesu walengila ne kuya kwikala mubwato, bantu bonse balemana kumutunta.
And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 Yesu walamba ne bantu aba bintu bingi mumikoshano, walambeti, “Muntu naumbi walaya kumwaya mbuto.
And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
4 Mpwalikumwaya mbuto, nashimbi mbuto shalawila munshila, shalalyewa ne bikeni.
and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
5 Imbuto nashimbi shalawila pabulongo bwa mabwe, apo palikubula bulongo bwingi, shalamena bwangu pakwinga bulongo nkabwalikuba bwingi.
and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Nomba lisuba mpolyalatako, shalapya ne lumwi, neco shalanyana, pakwinga miyanda nkayalikuba yayapanshi sobwe.
and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Imbuto nashimbi shalawila pa myunga. Pakukula matewu, myunga yalashinkilila kukula kwa mbuto shisa.
And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:
8 Nomba mbuto nashimbi shalawila pa bulongo bwabolela cena, shalasema mifuko ingi namumbi mwalikuba nseke mwanda, namumbi nseke makumi asanu ne limo, namumbi nseke makumi atatu, kupita shalabyalwa”
and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Yesu walambeti, “Uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya ba Yesu balamwipusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini bantu aba ncomulambanga nabo mumikoshanyo?”
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 Nendi walambeti, “Amwe Lesa walamuyubulwila byasolekwa bya Bwami bwa kwilu, nsombi kuli nabambi uliya kubayubulwilapo sobwe.
And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Ukuteko kantu nibakamupeko nabimbi, nakabe ne bintu bingi. Nomba uyo wabula kantu kalikonse, ne kang'anako nkakute nibaka mulamune.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 Ncondambilinga mumikoshanyo ne bantu aba nicebo cakwambeti, nambi balalanganga, nkabalabononga sobwe, nambi balanyumfunga, nkabalanyufunga nambi kunyumfwishisha sobwe.
Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 Ebantu aba balakwanilisha ncalikwamba mushinshimi Yesaya,” “Kunyumfwa nimukanyumfwenga, nsombi nteti mukanyumfwishishenga kubona nimukabonenga, nsombi nteti mukabonesheshenga sobwe.
And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
15 Cakubinga myoyo yabantu yafumpa, bashinka bishili mumatwi mwabo, bacala menso abo. Ne calabula kubeco, ngababona ne menso abo. ngabanyumfwa ne matwi abo, mano abo ngaishiba ne kushinta myoyo, kwambeti ame ndibasengule.”
For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
16 “Nombamwe menso enu alelekwa pakwinga alabononga, nawo matwi enu alanyumfunga.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Kwamba cakubinga, bashinshimi ne bantu bangi balulama balikuyandishisha kubona bintu ibi mbyomulabononga, nsombi balo baliya kubibonapo sobwe, balikuyandishisha kunyumfwa mbyomulanyumfunga, nsombi baliya kubinyumfwapo sobwe.”
For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
18 “Amwe lino munyumfwishishe bupandulushi bwa mukoshanyo wa muntu usa walikumwaya mbuto.
Hear then ye the parable of the sower.
19 Muntu uliyense anyumfwa Maswi, kwakubula kwanyumfwishisha, Waipa ukute kwisakufunyamo Maswi abyalwa mumoyo, Ishi embuto shisa shalabyalwa munshila.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.
20 Imbuto shalabyalwa pabulongo bwa mabwe shilapandululunga muntu ukute kunyumfwa Maswi ne kwatambula mwabwangu bwangu mwakukondwa.
And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
21 Lino pacebo cakubula miyanda yashimpa cena, ukute kulikakatishako kwakacindi kang'anowa, cakwinseti aba mumapensho ne kunyumfwa bishikubaba pacebo ca Maswi asa, muntuyo ukute kubwelela panyuma pacindi copeleco.
yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.
22 Imbuto shisa shalabyalwa pa myunga shilapandululunga muntu ukute kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba cebo cakutatilwa ne bintu byapacishi ne kuyandishisha mali, kukute kutyompwesha kukula kwa Maswi asa, neco nkakute kusemapo bisepo sobwe. (aiōn g165)
And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Nomba mbuto shisa shalabyalwa pabulongo bwabolela shilapandululunga muntu uyo ukute kwatambula Maswi a Lesa ne kwanyumfwishisha, Muntuyu ukute kusema bisepo, mwanda, nacimbi cindi makumi asanu ne limo, nambi makumi atatu a bishango byalabyalwa.”
And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Yesu walabambila kayi mukoshanyo naumbi, walambeti, “Bwami bwakwilu bwakoshana ne muntu walabyala mbuto shaina mulibala lyakendi.
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
25 Nomba cindi ncobalikuba bonatulo bantu bonse, mulwani wakendi walesa kubyalamo musonde pakati pa maila, ne kufumapo.
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Lino mumena wa maila mpowalikukula nekuba ne mapumpu, nawo musonde walatatika kuboneka.”
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 Basebenshi bakendi mwine libala usa, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena nte mwalabyalamo'wa mbuto shaina mulibala lyenu? Inga nawo musonde ulabonekenga mongeconi?”
And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
28 Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Nimulwani wakame wenseco,” Nabo basebenshi balamwipusha kayi, “Sena twenga tutumunemo?”
And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 Walambeti, “Sobwe! Mwenseco ngamutumwina kumo ne maila mwatumunanga musonde uwo.
But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
30 Kamubilekani bikulile pamo mpaka cindi cakucesa. Pacindico ninkambile beshikucesa Kamucesani nanshi musonde, musunge mitolo mitolo, muutente. Panyuma pakendi mubunganye maila ne kuya kwabika mu lyanga lyakame.”
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Kayi Yesu walabapa mukoshanyo naumbi walambeti, “Bwami bwakwilu bulyeti nseke shakatondo ka masitadi ako muntu nkalakabyala mulibala lyakendi.
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Nseke shakatondo aka ni shing'anashing'ana mwelanisha ne nseke nashimbi. Nomba mbuto yakendi yakula, ikute kupita bifukusa nabimbi, ikute kuba citondo cinene, umo bikeni bikute kwisa kwibakamo bisangala mu misampi yakendi.”
which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Yesu walabapa mukoshanyo naumbi kayi, walambeti, “Bwami bwakwilu bulyeti cishikufufumisha shinkwa, ico mutukashi naumbi ncalasankanya pamo ne bunga bwakwana bikopo bibili, mpaka bunga bonse bwalafufumuka.”
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
34 Yesu byonsebi walikubambila bantu mumikoshanyo, pacindici uliya kwambapo nabo cintu ciliconse kwabula mukoshanyo.
All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:
35 Uko kwalikuba kukwanilisha calambwa ne mushinshimi, kwambeti, “Ninkambenga nabo mumikoshanyo, Ninkayubulule byalikuba byasolekwa kufuma pakulengwa kwacishi capanshi.”
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
36 Yesu walashiya makoto abantu basa, ne kuya kwingila mung'anda, beshikwiya bakendi balamusengeti, “Kamutupandulwilako mukoshanyo wa musonde wa mulibala usa.”
Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 “Yesu nendi walambeti, Usa shikumwaya mbuto shaina endiye Mwana Muntu.
And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 Libala lisa ecishi cino capanshi. Shisa mbuto shaina ebantu bene Bwami bwa Lesa. Musonde ni bantu baipa bakendi Waipa usa.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one];
39 Mulwani usa walabyala musonde ni Muyungaushi. Kucesa maila kusa ekupwa kwacishi capanshi, ne beshikucesa ni bangelo. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Mbuli ncobalabunganya musonde ne kutenta pamulilo, nicikabeco pakupwa kwa cishicapanshi (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana Muntu nakatume bangelo bakendi, kwisa kufunyamo mu Bwami bwakendi bantu bonse bakute kwipisha banabo, pamo ne bonse bamicito yaipa.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
42 Nibakabawale mubufuni bwa mulilo, kopeloko nibakalilenga ne kukokota meno.
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Nomba bantu balulama nibakabaleti lisuba mu Bwami bwa Bameshabo, Uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
44 “Bwami bwakwilu ngatubwelanika cisa; Muntu naumbi walafumbula mali asolekwa mulibala. neye kayi walafumbika pambi, panyuma pakendi mwakukondwa, walakaulisha bintu byonse mbyalikukute ne kuya kula libala lisa.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Kayi Bwami bwakwilu ngatubwelanika cisa; Muntu naumbi shimakwebo, walayakulangaula malungu a mulo wadula.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
46 Mpwalacana libwe limo lya mulo wadula, walaya kuyakulisha bintu byonse mbyalikukute ne kuyakula libwe lyamulo wadula lisa ndyalikuyandishisha.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 “Bwami bwakwilu ngatubwelanika cisa; Basulishi balawala kombe mulwenje nekubungulula nswi sha mishobo yonse,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 kesula bakute kukakwelela kumutunta, bakute kwikala panshi nekutatika kusalapo nswi shaina kababika mu mitanga, shaipa nikushitaya.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
49 Nicikenshikeco pakupwa kwacishici, bangelo nibakafunyepo bantu baipa pakati pa bantu balulama, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 ne kubawala mubufuni bwamulilo, kopeloko nibakalilenga ne kukokota meno.”
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 Yesu walabepusha beshikwiya bakendi, “Sena mulanyumfwishishi cena bintu ibi byonse?” Balo balambeti, “Ee”
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.
52 Kayi walabambileti, “Ecebo cakendi shikwiyisha uliyense wa milawo laba shikwiya wa Bwami bwakwilu, ulyeti mwine ng'anda uyo ukute kupulisha bintu bya linolino ne byakaindi kufuma mulyanga lya buboni bwakendi.”
And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba mikoshanyo walafumako.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 Mpwalashika mucibela cakucomwabo, walatatika kwiyisha bantu mu ng'anda yakupaililamo. Abo balikumunyumfwa balikunkamana ne kwipusheti, “Mano, ne ngofu shakankamanisha shilicisa muntuyu walashifunya kupeyo?
And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Sena uyu nte mwana wa shikupala mapulanga usa? Sena nte mwanendi Maliya? Sena bamakwabo nte Jemusi ne Yosefe ne Shimoni ne Yuda?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Sena nkashi shakendi shonse ntetulinasho pamo pano? Inga bintu ibi walabicana kupeyo?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 Neco balamusula, nomba nendi Yesu walabambileti, Mushinshimi nkakute kupewa bulemu ne banse bendi mbaikala nabo mumunshi, nsombi bantu bakumbi.
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Neco, Yesu uliya kwinsako bintu bingi byangofu, pacebo cakubula lushomo kwabo.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
