Matthew 12
1 About the same time Jesus walked through the corn-fields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat and eat them.
Gene malangago, a Yeshu bhatendaga pita mmigunda ja ngano Lyubha lya Pumulila. Bhai, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakwetenje shibhanga, gubhatandwibhenje kupulula maashe ga ngano, nitauna.
2 But, when the Pharisees saw this, they said: “Look! your disciples are doing what it is not allowable to do on a Sabbath!”
Mapalishayo bhakagabhonanjeje genego, gubhaalugulilenje a Yeshu, “Nnole, bhaajiganywa bhenu bhanatendanga indu ikapinjikwa tenda Lyubha lya Pumulila.”
3 “Have not you read,” replied Jesus, “what David did, when he and his companions were hungry —
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga ibhatendile a Daudi na ashaajabhonji pubhalinginji na shibhanga?
4 how he went into the House of God, and how they ate the consecrated bread, through it was not allowable for him or his companions to eat it, but only for the priests?
Shibhashite jinjila nnyumba ja a Nnungu gubhalile mikate jabhishilwe kwa ligongo lya a Nnungu jila. Pabha bhenebho nkali na ashaajabhonji bhakaapinjikwangaga kulya jene mikatejo, ikabhe bhaabhishilape.
5 And have not you read in the law that, on the Sabbath, the priest in the Temple break the Sabbath and yet are not guilty?
Eu bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga nshitabhu sha Shalia ja a Musha kuti, puyakoposhelaga Lyubha lya Pumulila bhaabhishilanga bhatendaga lekanga kagula Shalia nniekalu, ikabheje bhakaganishiwanga kuti bhanalebhanga?
6 Here, however, I tell you, there is something greater than the Temple!
Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga kuti pepano apali ali jwankulungwa kupunda liekalu.
7 And had you learned the meaning of the words — ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned those who are not guilty.
Kaliji nkamumanyinji malombolelo ga gene malobhe gano, ‘Shingupinga shiya nngabha mbepei,’ nkanaaukumulanje bhandunji bhangalebhanga.
8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
Pabha, Mwana juka Mundu, ni nkulungwa jwa Lyubha lya Pumulila.”
9 Passing on, Jesus went into their Synagogue,
A Yeshu gubhashoshile penepo, gubhajinjile nshinagogi jabhonji.
10 and there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath — so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
Ashinkupagwa mundu akwete nkono upolweshe. Bhai, bhandu gubhaabhushiyenje a Yeshu, “Bhuli, ilipinjikwa kunamiya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila?” Bhashinkwaabhuyanga nkupinga bhapatanje shiumilo sha kwaashitakia.
11 But Jesus said to them: “Which of you, if he had only one sheep, and that sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lay hold of it and pull it out?
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Tujile mundu munkumbi gwenunji, ngondolo jwakwe atumbushilaga nniimbo, bhuli, akanshoya mwenemo pabha Lyubha lya Pumulila?
12 And how much more precious a man is than a sheep! Therefore it is allowable to do good on the Sabbath.”
Na mundu ni jwa mana kupunda ngondolo! Bhai, shalia jetu jinakutupinga kutenda ya mmbone Lyubha lya Pumulila.”
13 Then he said to the man. “Stretch out your hand.” The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.
Kungai gubhannugulile mundu jula, “Goloya nkono gwako.” Gwaugolweye, ukulamaga nibha malinga guna gula.
14 On coming out, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus, to put him to death.
Ikabheje Ashimapalishayo gubhakopokenje palanga, gubhatendilenje nkungulu shanabhuli shibhaabhulaganje a Yeshu.
15 Jesus, however, became aware of it, and went away from that place. A number of people followed him, and he cured them all;
A Yeshu bhakagamanyeje genego, gubhajabhwile kweneko. Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakagwilenje, nigubhaalamiyenje bhalwelenji bhowe,
16 but he warned them not to make him known,
gubhaamulishenje bhanannugulilanje mundu ga bhenebho,
17 in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah —
nkupinga gamalile malobhe gubhabhelekete a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalinkuti,
18 ‘Behold! the Servant of my Choice, My Beloved, in whom my heart delights! I will breathe my spirit upon him, and he shall announce a time of judgment to the Gentiles.
“Nnole ntumishi jwangu juninng'agwile, Jungumpinga anonyela muntima gwangu. Shimishe Mbumu yangu muka jwenejo, Jwalakwe shalunguye ya aki ku bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.
19 He shall not contend, nor cry aloud, Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets;
Akakola mitau wala kujobhela, Wala lilobhe lyakwe likapilikanika mmipanda.
20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,
Nnai upondeshe akautemanya, Wala utambi ushoya lyoi akauima, Mpaka pushatende ukumu jipinjikwa jitagwale.
21 and on his name shall the Gentiles rest their hopes.”
Bhandu bhangabha Bhayaudi shibhalikulupalilanje lina lyakwe.”
22 Then some people brought to Jesus a possessed man, who was blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the man who had been dumb both talked and saw.
Penepo bhandu gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu mundu jumo nangalole aliji bhubhu ligongo ashinkukola maoka. A Yeshu gubhanshoshiye lioka jula, gwakombwele kubheleketa na lola.
23 At this all the people were astounded. “Is it possible that this is the son of David?” they exclaimed.
Lugwinjili lowe gubhakanganigwenje bhalinkutinji, “Bhuli, pana jweneju Ulongo gwa a Daudi?”
24 But the Pharisees heard of it and said: “He drives out demons only by the help of Baal-zebub the chief of the demons.”
Ikabheje Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhashitenje, “Jwene munduju anashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, nkulungwa jwa maoka.”
25 Jesus, however, was aware of what was passing in their minds, and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself becomes a desolation, and any town or household divided against itself will not last.
A Yeshu, bhakaimanyeje ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje, upalume gogowe ugabhanikaga makundi nikanana, shiugwe, na shilambo eu likaja lyolyowe ligabhanikaga makundi nikanana, likalonjeya.
26 So, if Satan drives Satan out, he must be divided against himself; and how, then, can his kingdom last?
Ibhaga Lishetani anashoya maoka, bhai, upalume gwakwe shigulonjeye shanabhuli?
27 And, if it is by Baal-zebub’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.
Mmanganya nkutinji ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, bhuli, bhaakulupalila bhenunji bhanakwashoyanga kwa mashili gakeni? Kwa lyene ligongolyo bhanganyabho shibhanng'ukumulanje.
28 But, if it is by the help of the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon you.
Ikabheje monaga ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili ga Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, bhai, mmumanyanje kuti Upalume gwa a Nnungu ung'ishilenje.
29 How, again, can any one get into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods, without first securing him? And not till then will he plunder his house.
“Jwakwa mundu akombola kujinjila nnyumba jika mundu akwete mashili nikumpokonyola indu yakwe, gwangali tandubha kuntabha. Penepo shakombole kumpokonyola indu yakwe.
30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not help me to gather is scattering.
“Jojowe akakwiilunda na nne, anangana, naka jojowe akalopola pamo na nne, anajaanganya.
31 Therefore, I tell you, men will be forgiven every sin and slander; but slander against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, ngunakummalanjilanga, bhandu shibhaleshelelwanje yambi yabhonji yowe, na matukano gowe, ikabheje ga kuntukana Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo bhakaleshelelwanga.
32 Whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in the present age, or in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
Na kabhili, abheleketa lilobhe lya kuntauka Mwana juka Mundu shaleshelelwe, ikabheje abheleketa lilobhe lya kuntauka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, akaleshelelwa, wala nshilambolyo sha nnaino shino, wala shikwiyasho. (aiōn g165)
33 You must assume either that both tree and fruit are good, or that both tree and fruit are worthless; since it is by its fruits that a tree is known.
“Nkongo ubhaga gwa mmbone na iepo yakwe shiibhe ya mmbone, na nkongo ubhaga gwangali gwa mmbone na iepo yakwe shiibhe yangali ya mmbone, pabha nkongo pukumanyika kwa iepo yakwe.
34 You brood of vipers! how can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.
Mmanganya nninginji malinga majoka! Nkukombolanga bhuli kubheleketa indu ya mmbone nninginji mmangali bha mmbonenji? Pabha mundu yabheleketa ingumbele muntima gwakwe.
35 A good man, from his good stores, produces good things; while an evil man, from his evil stores, produces evil things.
Mundu jwa mmbone anatenda indu ya mmbone, pabha nshibhiko shakwe mushigumbala indu ya mmbone, ikabheje mundu jwa nyata ntima, anatenda indu ya nyata pabha ntima gwakwe ushigumbala indu ya nyata.
36 I tell you that for every careless thing that men say, they must answer on the ‘Day of Judgment.’
“Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga, lyubha lya ukumu bhandu bhapinga kwiya jangulanga ga malobhe gowe gangali ga mmbone gubhabheleketenje.
37 For it is by your words that you will be acquitted, and by your words that you will be condemned.”
Pabha kwa malobhe genu shinnjiye bhoneka kuti nkwete aki, na kwa malobhe genu shinng'ukumulwe.”
38 At this point, some Teachers of the Law and Pharisees interposed. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see some sign from you.”
Penepo Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhananji gubhaalugulilenje a Yeshu, “Mmaajiganya, tunapinga tushibhone shilangulo kopoka kwenu mmwe.”
39 “It is a wicked and unfaithful generation,” answered Jesus, “that is asking for a sign, and no sign shall be given it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
Nabhalabho gubhaajangwilenje, “Alu lubhelekolu lwa lebha na lukakulupalika kwa a Nnungu! Nnapinganga shilangulo, nkapegwanga ikabheje shilangulo sha a Yona ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
40 For, just as ‘Jonah was inside the sea-monster three days and three nights,’ so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Shibhashite tama a Yona mobha gatatu shilo na mui nnipitiu lika shamaki, nneyo peyo Mwana juka Mundu shatame mobha gatatu nnitaka shilo na mui.
41 At the Judgment, the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
Bhandu bha ku Ninawi shibhakoposhelanje mobha ga ukumu, nabhalabhonji shibhaluukumulanje alu lubhelekolu kuti lushilebha, pabha bhandu bha ku Ninawi bhaipetilenje kwa ligongo lya miungu ja a Yona, na mbena apano apali ali nkulungwa kupunda a Yona.
42 At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
A Malikiya bha kwibhanda shibhakoposhele alu lubhelekolu pushiluukumulwe, na bhalabho shibhaluukumule kuti lushilebha, pabha bhenebho bhashinkukopoka kwa taliya, nkupinga bhapilikane malobhe ga lunda ga a Shelemani, na mbena apano apali ali nkulungwa kupunda a Shelemani.
43 No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest, and does not find it.
“Lioka anshokaga mundu, anatimbililatimbilila nng'anga nkuloleya pa pumulila na anapabhone.
44 Then it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’; but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, and swept, and put in order.
Penepo anakwilugulila nnyene, ‘Shimuje kumui kungoposhele,’ ikabheje pabhuja nakupaimana pangali shindu, pali papyejilwe nikonjelewa,
45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked generation.”
shajende kwaatolanga ashimaoka bhananji shabha, bhajogoyanga kupunda jwenejo, na bhowe bhanakwiya kunjinjilanga mundujo. Na ali jika mundujo shijibhe jangali ja mmbone kupunda kundandubho. Na malinga shiipingabha kwa lubheleko lwa lebhalu.”
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, asking to speak to him.
A Yeshu bhali nkubheleketa na bhandu bhabhagwinji, anyinabhabho na ashaapwabho gubhaikengene nijimangana palanga, bhalipinganga kubheleketa nabho.
47 Someone told him this, and Jesus replied:
Bhai, mundu jumo gwabhalugulile, “Anyinabhenu na ashaapwenu pubhalinginji palanga, bhanapinganga kubheleketa na mmwe.”
48 “Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?”
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaajangwile bhandu bhala, “A mama nne agani? Na ashapwanga nne ashigani?”
49 Then, stretching out his hands towards his disciples, he said: “Here are my mother and my brothers!
Kungai gubhaagolosheyenje nkono kwaalanguyanga bhaajiganywa bhabho, bhalinkuti, “Nnole abha ashaamama na ashaapwanga!
50 For any one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Pabha jojowe atenda yakupinga Atati bhali kunnungu, jwenejo ni mpwanga nne na nnumbwangu nne na a mama nne.”
