Mateyo 19
1 Kwakaba kuti Jesu amane majwi ay, wakazwa ku Galili waya kuchisi cha Judiya mutala amulonga wa Jodani.
It came about that when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came to the region of Judea that is beyond the Jordan River.
2 Makamu makamu akamutobela, mpawo wakabaponia nkukoko.
Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Ba Falisi bakaza kuli nguwe, bamusunka, baamba kuli nguwe, “chili mumulawu kuti mwalumi aleke mwanakazi wakwe, katakwe kaambo.
Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?”
4 Jesu wakasandula akwaamba, “sa temwakabala kuti oyo wakabalenga kuzwa kumatalikilo wakabalenga baalumi a abanakazi?”
Jesus answered and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
5 Alubo oyo iwakabelnga wakati, 'Nkambo kaako Mwalumi uyosiiya wisi abanyina akukakatila kumwanakazi wakwe, aba bobile babe nyama imwi.
He who made them also said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'
6 Lino tabachili babili, pesi nyama imwi. Nkinkaako echo Leza nchakaswaniizya, kutabi muntu uchipambukanya.”
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one tear apart.”
7 Bakati kulinguwe, “Nkaambonzi elyo Mozesi wakatulayilila kuti apegwe lugwalo lwakulekana mpawo amuleke?”
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of divorce and then to send her away?”
8 Wakati kuli mbabo, “Nkaambo kabuyumu bwamyooyo yenu, Mozesi wakamuzumizya kuleka banakazi benu, pesi kumatalikilo tekwakali munzila eyo pe.
He said to them, “For your hardness of heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not that way.
9 Ndamwambila, kufumbwa uleka mwanakazi wakwe, kunze kwamakani abuvule, akuyo kwata uumbi, wachita bumambi; amwalumi ukwata mwanakazi wakalekwa wachita bumambi.”
I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 Basikwiiya bakati kuli Jesu, “Na kuti ntwaambo twamwalumi amwanakazi wakwe, tachili chibotu kukwata.”
The disciples said to Jesus, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
11 Pesi Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Teensi bonse batambula kaambo aka, pesi kuli baabo luzutu bapedwe.
But Jesus said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.
12 Nkambo nkubali bazibe bakachitwa bazibe abantu, alimwi mpubali bazibe bakalichita bazibe lwabo beni nkambo ka Bwami bwakujulu kuli ooyo ukonzya kutambula injiisyo eyi, muleke ayitambule.”
For there are eunuchs who were that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this teaching, let him receive it.”
13 Lino bana baniini bakaletwa kuli nguwenkuti abaampe amaboko akukomba, pesi basikwiiya bakwe bakabakasya babakalalila.
Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Pesi Jesu wakaamba wati, “Amuzumizye bana banini, mutabakasyi kuti baze kuli ndime, nkambo Bwami bwakujulu mbubwabo bali boobu.”
But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.”
15 Wakabika maboko aakwe alimbabo mpawo wakabasiya.
He placed his hands on the children, and then he went away from there.
16 Amubona, mwalumi wakaza kuli Jesu akwamba kuti, “Muyiisi, nchichili chintu chibotu nchindinga ndilachita kuti ndibe abuumi ibutamani?” (aiōnios g166)
Behold, a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, Nkamboonzi niwandibuzya atala chitegwa nchibotu? Kunze kwachintu chimwi, pesi na koyanda kunjila mubuumi, baamba milayizyo.”
Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 Oyu mwalumi wakati kuli nguwe, milayizyo nzi?” Utajayi, utachiti bumambi, utabbi, utapi bukamboni bwakubeja,
The man said to him, “Which commandments?” Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19 lemeka wuuso abanyoko akuyanda ngoyakilene anguwe mbuli lwako omwini.”
honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
20 Mwalumi mukubusi wakati kuli nguwe, “Zyoonse ezi zintu ndakazilemeka. Ndichiyanaanzi?”
The young man said to him, “All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?”
21 Jesu wakamwambila wati, “Na koyanda kuti ulondoke, koya, ukawuzye lubono lwako, akuyopa bachete, mpawo uyooba abuvubi kujulu, lino uboole, unditobele.”
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 Pesi eelyo mwalumi mukubusi nakamvwa Jesu nzyakaamba, wakayinka kawuside, nkambo wakalijisi imbono nyiingi.
But when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Jesu wakaambila basikwiiya bakwe, “Kasimpe ndamwambila, nchiyumu kumuvubi kuti akanjile kubwami bwakujulu.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Alimwi ndamwambila kuti, nkutete kunkamela kunjila muliso lyaneleti kwinda kuti muvubi anjile mubwami bwa Leza.”
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
25 Lino basikwiiya nibakamvwa oobo, bakagambilwa loko, akwaamba kuti, “Ino ngwani ukoonzya kuyofutulwa?”
When the disciples heard it, they were very astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesu wakabalanga akwaamba kuti, 'kubantu tachikonzeki, pesi kuli Leza zintu zyoonse zilakonzeka.”
Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Mpawo Pita wakavwiila akwamba kuti “Langa, twasiya zintu zyesu zyoonse twatobela nduwe. Ani mpawo tukajanenzi?”
Then Peter answered and said to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Ndamwambila kasimpe kuti, muchiindi chiza Mwana a Muntu nayokkala achuno chakwe chabulemu, inywe nimwakanditobela muzokkala azyuno zilikkumi azibili, mukabeteke misyobo ili kkumi ayibili ya Izilayeli.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new age when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Woonse oyo iwakasiide maanda, babunyiina, bachizi, wisi, banyina niiba myuunda nkambo kazina lyangu uyotambula tuli mbuli mwanda umwi akukona buumi ibutamani. (aiōnios g166)
Every one who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or land for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Pesi bataanzi baanji bayoba bakumamanino, abakumamanino bayoba batanzi.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
