< Matthew 15 >

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Nipele, Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaichile Che Yesu kutyochela ku Yelusalemu.
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Paŵaiche ŵambusisye, “Kwachichi ŵakulijiganya wenu akugapwanya majiganyo gatupochele kutyochela kwa achambuje ŵetu? Ngakunaŵa makono yambone akanaŵe kutanda kulya?”
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwachichi ŵanyamwe mkupwanya makanyo ga Akunnungu kwa kusechelela majiganyo genu mwachinsyene?
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Akunnungu atite, ‘Mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu,’ ni ‘Jwakunlwesya atatigwe atamuno achikulugwe, akusachilwa kuulajikwa.’
5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
Nambo ŵanyamwe nkwiganya kuti, mundu aŵaga ni chindu cha kwakamuchisya atatigwe atamuno achikulugwe, ni atiji, ‘Achi chindu chi ndyosisye sadaka kwa Akunnungu.’
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
Nipele, jwele mundu jo ngakwachimbichisya atatigwe! Yele ni inkuti pakulinyelusya lilamulo lya Akunnungu ni kugakuya majiganyo genu mwachinsyene.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Ŵanyamwe ŵaulamba! Che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ŵasagamukwile yambone yankati ŵanyamwe paŵatite,
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
‘Akunnungu akuti, aŵa ŵandu ŵa akunjimbichisyanga ni ngomo pe, nambo mmitima jao atalikengene ni une.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
Nombe akumbopela iyiyipe, pakuŵa indu yakwiganya ili malajisyo ga ŵandu pe.’”
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵauŵilasile mpingo wa ŵandu, ŵaasalile, “Mpilikane ni kumanyilila!
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
Chindu chachikuntaga mundu usakwa ngaŵa chachikwinjila nkang'wa, nambo achila chachikutyoka nkang'wa ni chachikuntaga mundu usakwa.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile ni kwasalila, “Ana nkumanyilila kuti Mafalisayo yachimile paŵapilikene maloŵe genu?”
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
Nambo ŵelewo ŵatite, “Mmela wauliwose wanganapande Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani, chiuchitupulwa.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Mwaleche ŵanyawo! Ŵele ali ŵangalola ŵakwalongosya ŵangalola. Jwangalola annongosyaga jwangalola njakwe, wose ŵaŵili chatumbuchile mwisimbo.”
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
Che Petulo ŵatite, “Ntugopolele chele chitagu cho.”
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nombe ŵanyamwe ŵakwe ngankumanyilila?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
Ana ngankumanyilila kuti chindu chachikwinjila nkang'wa chikupita nnutumbo ni chikujasikwa kulindi?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
Nambo yaikutyoka nkang'wa ikutyochela mu ntima, yele ni yaikuntaga mundu usakwa.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
Pakuŵa mu ntima sikukopoka ng'anisyo syangalumbana sya kuulaga ni chikululu ni chigwagwa ni wiyi ni kuŵecheta yaunami ni kutukana.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
Gelego ni gakuntaga mundu usakwa. Nambo kulya panganaŵa makono ngakukuntaga mundu usakwa.”
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Che Yesu ŵatyosile kweleko ni ŵajile ku chilambo cha ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
Nipele, jwankongwe jumo Mkanaani, kutyochela chilambo chilachila, ŵaichilile achinyanyisyaga, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa! Mwali jwangu akamwilwe ni masoka kwannope.”
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
Nambo Che Yesu ngananjanga liloŵe. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile ni kwachondelela achitiji, “Mwasalile ajaule, pakuŵa akutukuya ali nkunyokonya.”
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Akunnungu andumile kukwakulupusya ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵaŵapotele mpela ngondolo.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
Pelepo jwambumba jula ŵaiche ni kwatindiŵalila paujo pao achitiji, “Ambuje, mungamuchisye.”
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa yambone kutola chakulya cha ŵanache ni kusiponyela mbwa.”
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Elo, Ambuje, nambo mbwa sikulya mbakatika sisikupatuka pakulila achambuje ŵao.”
28 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwankongwe, chikulupi chenu chachikulungwa, nipele, chitendekwe kukwenu chinkusaka.” Mwali jwao jula ni ŵalamile katema kakoko.
29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo ni kwaula mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya, ŵakwesile kwitumbi, ŵatemi paasi.
30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
Nipele, jaichile mipingo ja ŵandu ŵajinji, ŵampelechele ŵandu ŵangajenda ni ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ni ŵangaŵecheta ni ŵane ŵajinji ŵakulwala, nipele ŵaŵisile mmbujo mwakwe ni kwalamya.
31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
Nombe mpingo wa ŵandu ula wasimonjile nnope paŵaweni ŵangaŵecheta aninkuŵecheta ni ŵangalola aninkulola ni ŵakulemala ali alamile ni ŵangajenda aninkwenda, ŵandu ŵaakusisye Akunnungu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵaasalile, “Ngwakolela chanasa aŵa ŵandu ŵa pakuŵa atemi ni une moŵa gatatu sambano ni nganakola chakulya. Ngangusaka naaleche ajaule pangalya ngakaŵa chakomoche mwitala.”
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ni ŵatite, “Tutupate kwapi chakulya chachijinji cha kwajikutisya ŵele ŵandu ŵa?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
Che Yesu ŵaausisye, “Nkwete mikate jilingwa?” Ŵajanjile, “Saba ni tusomba kanandi pe.”
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu atamanje paasi.
36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
Ŵajitosile mikate saba ni tusomba tula, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ŵajigaŵenye ni kwapa ŵakulijiganya ŵao, nombe ŵakulijiganya wo ŵagaŵenye ŵandu.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
Ŵalile wose, ŵajikwite. Paŵamasile kulya ŵalokotenye mbakatika ja mikate ni somba sila itundu saba yegumbale.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
Ŵele uŵalile wo ŵaliji achalume elufu nne, pangaŵalanjila achakongwe ni ŵanache.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalanjile ŵandu, ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kwaula ku chilambo cha Magadani.
