Mateyo 13
1 Yesu pa busuba bopelobo walapula mung'anda, ne kuya kwikala panshi mu mbali mwa lwenje.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.
2 Kopeleko kwalabungana bantu bangi, Yesu walengila ne kuya kwikala mubwato, bantu bonse balemana kumutunta.
And many multitudes came together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Yesu walamba ne bantu aba bintu bingi mumikoshano, walambeti, “Muntu naumbi walaya kumwaya mbuto.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 Mpwalikumwaya mbuto, nashimbi mbuto shalawila munshila, shalalyewa ne bikeni.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way: and the birds came and ate them up.
5 Imbuto nashimbi shalawila pabulongo bwa mabwe, apo palikubula bulongo bwingi, shalamena bwangu pakwinga bulongo nkabwalikuba bwingi.
Others fell on stony places, where they had not much earth; and they immediately sprung up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Nomba lisuba mpolyalatako, shalapya ne lumwi, neco shalanyana, pakwinga miyanda nkayalikuba yayapanshi sobwe.
But when the sun was up, 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.
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung 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”
Others fell upon good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred, some fifty, some thirty.
9 Yesu walambeti, “Uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!”
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya ba Yesu balamwipusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini bantu aba ncomulambanga nabo mumikoshanyo?”
And the disciples came and said to him: Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
11 Nendi walambeti, “Amwe Lesa walamuyubulwila byasolekwa bya Bwami bwa kwilu, nsombi kuli nabambi uliya kubayubulwilapo sobwe.
He answered, and said to them: Because it is given to you 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 whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.
13 Ncondambilinga mumikoshanyo ne bantu aba nicebo cakwambeti, nambi balalanganga, nkabalabononga sobwe, nambi balanyumfunga, nkabalanyufunga nambi kunyumfwishisha sobwe.
For this reason I speak to them in parables; because when they see, they see not; and when they hear, they hear not, nor do they understand.
14 Ebantu aba balakwanilisha ncalikwamba mushinshimi Yesaya,” “Kunyumfwa nimukanyumfwenga, nsombi nteti mukanyumfwishishenga kubona nimukabonenga, nsombi nteti mukabonesheshenga sobwe.
And in them is fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah, which says: You shall surely hear, and you will not understand; and you shall surely see, and you will not 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 the heart of this people has become fat; and with their ears they hear heavily; and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn to me, and I should give them health.
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 to you, Many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.
18 “Amwe lino munyumfwishishe bupandulushi bwa mukoshanyo wa muntu usa walikumwaya mbuto.
Hear you, therefore, 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 hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the wayside.
20 Imbuto shalabyalwa pabulongo bwa mabwe shilapandululunga muntu ukute kunyumfwa Maswi ne kwatambula mwabwangu bwangu mwakukondwa.
He that received seed on the stony places is he that hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy.
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 he has no root in himself, but endures for a while; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately takes offense.
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)
He that received seed among the thorns, is he that hears the word; and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes 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.”
But he that received seed on the good ground, is he that hears the word and understands it; who also produces fruit, and yields, one a hundred; another, sixty; another, thirty.
24 Yesu walabambila kayi mukoshanyo naumbi, walambeti, “Bwami bwakwilu bwakoshana ne muntu walabyala mbuto shaina mulibala lyakendi.
Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to 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 among the wheat, and went away.
26 Lino mumena wa maila mpowalikukula nekuba ne mapumpu, nawo musonde walatatika kuboneka.”
But when the blade sprung up, and produced 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 master of the house came, and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?
28 Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Nimulwani wakame wenseco,” Nabo basebenshi balamwipusha kayi, “Sena twenga tutumunemo?”
He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Is it your will, then, that we go and gather them up?
29 Walambeti, “Sobwe! Mwenseco ngamutumwina kumo ne maila mwatumunanga musonde uwo.
But he said, No; lest while you are gathering the tares, you 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 till the harvest, and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Collect first the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my granary.
31 Kayi Yesu walabapa mukoshanyo naumbi walambeti, “Bwami bwakwilu bulyeti nseke shakatondo ka masitadi ako muntu nkalakabyala mulibala lyakendi.
Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, that 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.”
It is, indeed, the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the largest of garden-plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and roost in its branches.
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.”
He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
34 Yesu byonsebi walikubambila bantu mumikoshanyo, pacindici uliya kwambapo nabo cintu ciliconse kwabula mukoshanyo.
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them;
35 Uko kwalikuba kukwanilisha calambwa ne mushinshimi, kwambeti, “Ninkambenga nabo mumikoshanyo, Ninkayubulule byalikuba byasolekwa kufuma pakulengwa kwacishi capanshi.”
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been kept secret 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 Jesus left the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 “Yesu nendi walambeti, Usa shikumwaya mbuto shaina endiye Mwana Muntu.
He answered and said to them: He that sows 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.
the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; the tares are the sons of the Wicked One;
39 Mulwani usa walabyala musonde ni Muyungaushi. Kucesa maila kusa ekupwa kwacishi capanshi, ne beshikucesa ni bangelo. (aiōn g165)
the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; 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 collected and burned in fire, so shall it be in the end of this age. (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 will send forth his angels, and collect out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity,
42 Nibakabawale mubufuni bwa mulilo, kopeloko nibakalilenga ne kukokota meno.
and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and 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 has ears to hear, 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.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which, when a man finds it, he hides; and for the joy it gives, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45 “Kayi Bwami bwakwilu ngatubwelanika cisa; Muntu naumbi shimakwebo, walayakulangaula malungu a mulo wadula.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls.
46 Mpwalacana libwe limo lya mulo wadula, walaya kuyakulisha bintu byonse mbyalikukute ne kuyakula libwe lyamulo wadula lisa ndyalikuyandishisha.
When he finds one pearl of great value, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys it.
47 “Bwami bwakwilu ngatubwelanika cisa; Basulishi balawala kombe mulwenje nekubungulula nswi sha mishobo yonse,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea, and that gathers of every kind:
48 kesula bakute kukakwelela kumutunta, bakute kwikala panshi nekutatika kusalapo nswi shaina kababika mu mitanga, shaipa nikushitaya.
when it is full, they draw it to the shore; and sitting down, they collect the good into vessels, but throw the bad away.
49 Nicikenshikeco pakupwa kwacishici, bangelo nibakafunyepo bantu baipa pakati pa bantu balulama, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be in the end of the age: the angels shall come forth and separate the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
50 ne kubawala mubufuni bwamulilo, kopeloko nibakalilenga ne kukokota meno.”
and cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Yesu walabepusha beshikwiya bakendi, “Sena mulanyumfwishishi cena bintu ibi byonse?” Balo balambeti, “Ee”
Jesus said to them: Have you understood all these things? They said to him: Yes, Lord.
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.”
He said to them: Therefore, every scribe that is trained for the kingdom of heaven, is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasury things new and old.
53 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba mikoshanyo walafumako.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
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 he came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: Whence has 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 son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers, James and Joses 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, has 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 found in him occasion for offense. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless it be 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, on account of their unbelief.
