< Matthew 15 >

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Vafalisayu vangi na vawula va malagizu vakahika kuhuma ku Yelusalemu, vakamhambila Yesu vakamkota,
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
“Ndava kyani vawuliwa vaku vitopesa lepi mawuliwu ga vagogo vitu? Visamba lepi chabwina mawoko kwakona kulya chakulya!”
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Yesu akayangula, “Ndava kyani nyenye mwidenya mihilu ya Chapanga, ndava ya kulanda mawuliwu ginu?”
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.’
Chapanga amali kujova, uvatopesa dadi waku na nyina waku, na mweampela likoto dadi waki amala nyina waki yikumgana akomiwa.
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,”
Nambu nyenye mwijova, mundu mweakumjovela dadi waki amala nyina waki kuvya, chochoha chenihotola kukutangatila, nimuwusili Chapanga,
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
iganikiwa lepi kumtangatila dadi waki amala nyina waki. Chenichi ndi chemdenya amuli ya Chapanga kwa kugalanda mawuliwu ginu!
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
“Nyenye mwemkujikita kuvya vandu vabwina! Isaya alotili chakaka, ndava yinu, peajovili malovi aga!
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
‘Chapanga ijova, vandu ava vakunitopesa kwa malovi ndu, nambu mitima yavi yivii kutali na nene.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
Kunigundamila kwavi ndi waka, ndava mambu geviwula ndi malagizu ga vandu ndu.’”
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
Kangi Yesu aukemili msambi wa vandu akaujovela, “Myuwanila na kumanya malovi genikuvajovela!
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 chechikumyingisa mundu uhakasa palongolo ya Chapanga lepi chechiyingila mumlomo, nambu ndi chila chechikumuhuma mundu mumlomo.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
Kangi vawuliwa vaki vakamhambila, vakamjovela, “Wu, umanyili kuvya Vafalisayu vayomili pevayuwini malovi gaku?”
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
Nambu mwene akavayangula, “Mbeyu yeyoha angamija Dadi wangu mweavi kunani, yati yitupuliwa.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Mvaleka vene! Vene ndi vangalola, vachilongosi wa vangalola, na ngalola akamlongosa ngalola muyaki, voha vavili yati vidumbukila muligodi.”
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
Petili akajova, “Utidandaulila luhumu wenuwo.”
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
Yesu akajova, “Hati nyenye mwakona mwangagamanya ago?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
Wu, mwihotola lepi kumanya chechiyingila mumlomo chihamba mulileme na chiumiswa kuvala kundindima?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
Nambu mambu gegihumila mumlomo gihuma mumtima, genago ndi gegakumkita mundu akotoka kuyidakiliwa palongolo ya Chapanga.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
Ndi mumtima gihuma maholo na ukomaji na ugoni na ukemi na kuyiva na malovi ga udese na maligu.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
Genago ndi gegakumkita mundu kuvya mhakasa palongolo ya Chapanga. Nambu kulya chakulya changasamba nakumuyingisa mundu uhakasa.”
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Yesu awukili pandu penapo akahamba kutama kumuji wa Tilo na 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!”
Mau mmonga Mkanani wa mulima wenuwo ambwelili na kuywanga neju, “Bambu Mwana wa Daudi, unihengela lipyana! Msikana wangu ing'ahiswa na mzuka.”
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
Nambu Yesu ayangwili lepi, hinu vawuliwa vaki vakamhambila, vakamjovela, “Mjovela awuka lola akutilanda kuni iywanga.”
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Yesu akayangula, “Nitumwili ndu kwa mulima wa Isilaeli, vevavi ngati limbelele leliyagili.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
Nambu mau yula akabwela akamfugamila, akajova “Bambu, unitangatila.”
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Yesu akamyangula “Chabwina lepi kutola chakulya cha vana na kutagila mabwa.”
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Hinu mau yula akayangula, “Chakaka, Bambu, nambu hati mabwa gilya masigalilu gegigwa pahi pameza ya bambu wavi.”
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.
Penapo ndi Yesu akayangula, “Mau veve, sadika yaku yivaha! Uhengewa ngati chaugana.” Msikana waki akalama lukumbi lulalula.
29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
Yesu akawuka penapo akahamba mumhana wa nyanja Galilaya, akakwela pachitumbi, akatama pahi.
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,
Msambi wa vandu vambwelili vamletili vevagogodili higa na vangalola na vangajova pamonga na vangi vamahele vevagogodili magendelu vana matamu, vakavavika palongolo ya magendelu gaki, mwene akavalamisa
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.
Msambi wa vandu ukakangasa neju pavaweni vangajova vijova, vevagogodili higa vilama vevagogodili magendelu vigenda na vangalola vilola, vandu vakamulumba Chapanga wa 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.”
Yesu avakemili vawuliwa vaki na kuvajovela, “Nikuvahengela lipyana vandu ava ndava vatamii pamonga na nene magono gadatu, nivii lepi na chindu chakulya. Nangagana vawuka na njala, muni vakotoka kuinduka munjila.”
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
Vawuliwa vaki vakamjovela, “Penapa palukongolo tipata koki chakulya cha kuyukuta msambi woha wa vandu?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
Yesu akavakota, “Mabumunda gavi galinga?” Vakamyangula “Saba na tusomba tudebe.”
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
Yesu akalagiza vandu vatama pahi.
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.
Akatola mabumunda gala saba na tusomba tudebe tula, akalolokesa kunani kwa Chapanga, akamsengusa Chapanga, akavimetula, akavapela vawuliwa vaki, navene vakavagavila vandu.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
Voha vakalya na kuyukuta. Kangi vakayola masigalilu ga hipandi na kumemesa madengu saba.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
Vandu vevalili vavi vagosi elufu mcheche changavalanga vadala na vana.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
Ndi Yesu akavalaga vandu vala, akayingila muwatu, akahamba kumuji wa Magadani.
