Matayo 13
1 Ndaŵi jijojo, Che Yesu ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jila, ŵajawile kukutama mungulugulu litanda.
On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Mipingo jajikulungwa ja ŵandu jansyungwile nipele ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni kutama. Ŵandu wose ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda,
And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile indu yejinji kwa itagu, achitiji, “Mpilikane! Jwakupanda ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju.
And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
4 “Paŵaliji nkumisa mbeju, sine syapatuchile mungulugulu matala ga mmigunda, nipele yaiche ijuni ni kusimila.
and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
5 Sine syapatuchile mmaganga pangali litaka lyejinji. Syawoneche simesile kwachitema pakuŵa litaka lyaliji kanandi.
and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Nipele, lyuŵa palyaŵasile syatiniche ligongo michiga jakwe jaliji nganijijinjilisya paasi, syajumwile.
and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Sine syapatuchile pa miiŵa, nombe miiŵa jo jamesile ni kusiŵijikanya.
And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them:
8 Sine syapatuchile pa litaka lya chajila, syamesile, ni kusogola, sine mia moja, sine sitini ni sine selasini.
and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Jwakwete mapilikanilo ga kupilikanila, apilikane!”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao Che Yesu ŵajaulile ni kwausya kuti, “Ana ligongo chi nkuŵecheta ni ŵandu kwa itagu?”
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwilwe ukombole wa kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa kwinani nambo ŵanewo nganapegwa.
And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chapegwe ni kujonjecheswa, nambo jwele jwanganakola chindu, atamuno chele chakwete cho chasumulwe.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 Kwa ligongo lyo nguŵecheta nawo kwa itagu, pakuŵa akulola nambo ngakulola, akupilikana nambo ngakupilikanichisya atamuno ngakumanyilila.
Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 Kwa ŵelewo gamalile agala maloŵe gaŵechete che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gagakuti: ‘Kupilikana chimpilikane nambo ngammanyilila. Kulola chinlolechesye nambo ngammona.
And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
15 Pakuŵa lunda lwa ŵele ŵandu wo lupungwene, agasiŵile mapilikanilo gao, akupilenje. Nambo ikaliji akulola kwa meeso gao, ni kupilikana kwa mapilikanilo gao, nombe akamanyilile kwa lunda lwao, ni kung'alauchila, none ngaalamisye.’
For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
16 “Nambo nkwete upile ŵanyamwe pakuŵa meeso genu gakulola ni mapilikanilo genu gakupilikana.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Ngunsalila isyene kuti ŵakulondola achajinji ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵasachile kugaona gankugaona nambo nganagaona ni kugapilikana gamkugapilikana nambo nganagapilikana.
For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
18 “Nipele, ŵanyamwe mpilikane malumbo ga achi chitagu cha jwakupanda chi.
Hear then ye the parable of the sower.
19 Jwalijose jwakulipilikana liloŵe lyankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu pangalimanyilila, ali mpela mbeju sisyapatuchile mmatala ga mmigunda, Jwangalumbana jula akwika kuchityosya chele chepandikwe mu ntima mwakwe cho.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.
20 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile mmaganga, sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulipochela kwa unonyelo.
And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
21 Nambo ngakulikamulichisya ni nganakola michiga nkati mwakwe, akulikamula katema kakajipi pe, pakukutyochela kulaga ni kusauka kwa ligongo lya liloŵe lyo, papopo akuleka kulikulupilila liloŵe.
yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.
22 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa miiŵa syo sili mpela mundu jwakulipilikana liloŵe, nambo kwa ligongo lya kuchenjeuchila masengo ga umi watulinawo ni kuchinonyela kwannope chipanje kukuliŵijikanya liloŵe lyo, nombejo ngakusogola isogosi, yaani kupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Nombe syele mbeju sisyapatuchile pa litaka lyambone sili mpela mundu jwakupilikana liloŵe ni kulimanyilila, jwelejo akupanganya yejinji yambone yaikusachilwa mpela mbeju ijikuti pakusogola, jimo mia moja, jine sitini, ni jine selasini.”
And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ukulandana ni mundu jwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda wakwe.
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
25 Nambo ŵandu paŵaliji agonile, ŵaiche jwammagongo jwakwe, ŵapandile masindi mwepande ngano, ni kutyoka.
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Nipele, pasyamesile mbeju ni kutanda kusogola ni masindi gatandite kuwoneka.
But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 Achikapolo ŵa asyene ngunda ŵaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, ngati mwapandile mbeju syambone mu ngunda mwenu? Sambano gatyochele kwapi masindi?’
And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
28 Nipele ŵatite, ‘Jwammagongo ni jwatesile yeleyo.’ Nipele, achikapolo wakwe ŵaausisye, ‘Uli, nkusaka tujaule tukagatupule?’
And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 Nombejo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngwamba, pachintupule masindi, pane chinkatupule pamo ni ngano.
But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
30 Nneche ikule yose pamo mpaka katema ka kugungula. Nipele, katema ka kugungula chinjasalila ŵakugungula kuti, nsonganganye kaje masindi nkagataŵikanye ilingo ilingo, nkagatinisye. Nambo ngano nsonganganye ni kutaga mu ngokwe jangu.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaatagulile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali jatosile mundu ni kujipanda mungunda mwakwe.
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Jisyene jili jajinandi kusipunda mbeju sine syose, nambo jamelaga ni kukula jikuŵa jajikulungwa kupunda mimela jose. Ukukula ni kuŵa chitela mpaka ijuni ya mwinani ikwika ni kutaŵa isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu chitagu chine kuti, “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni amila jajigele jwankongwe jumo, ni kuwanganya ni utandi mbisi siŵili ni nusu, ni utandi wose wasaseŵele.”
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
34 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu yose kwa itagu. Ni pangali chitagu nganiŵasalila chachili chose.
All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:
35 Pakuti limalile liloŵe lyaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu: “Chiŵechetenawo kwa itagu, chinaasalile ŵandu indu yaisisikwe chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.”
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
36 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaulesile mpingo wa ŵandu, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaichile ni kwasalila, “Ntugopolele chitagu cha masindi ga mungunda.”
Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakupanda mbeju syambone ni Mwana jwa Mundu.
And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 Nombe ngunda uli chilambo chino. Nombe syele mbeju syambone syo sili ŵele ŵandu ŵati Umwenye uli wo. Nambo masindi ali ŵandu ŵa jwangalumbana jula.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one];
39 Nombe jwammagongo jwapandile masindi ali Shetani. Magungulo gali mbesi ja chilambo chino, nombe ŵakugungula ali achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Mpela ila masindi igakuti pakusonganganywa ni kutinisya, iyoyo ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana jwa Mundu chachalajisya achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti asonganganye kutyochela mu Umwenye wao wose aŵala ŵakwaleŵekasya ŵandu atende sambi ni wose ŵatesile ya sambi.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
42 Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wo chiŵaponye ŵandu pa litanuli lya mooto wakalipa ni kweleko chalile ni kuchilimya meeno.
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Kele katema ko ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chachimelemenda mpela lyuŵa mu Umwenye wa Atati ŵao. Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikanile!
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
44 “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mbiko jajisisiche mu ngunda. Mundu jumpepe ŵajiweni ni kujisisa sooni. Nipele ŵasangalele nnope ni ŵajawile kukuisumisya iŵakwete yose ni kusuma ngunda ula.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Sooni, umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwakusumisya malonda achisosaga igogo yambone.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
46 Nombe paŵachiweni chigogo chimo cha ndalama jajikulungwa, ŵajawile, ŵaisumisye iŵakwete yose, ŵachisumile chigogo chila.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 “Sooni, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni lwau lwauponyekwe mu litanda, lwatanjile somba syasili syose.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Lwau palwagumbele, ŵakukoka somba ŵaluutile kumbwani, ŵatemi kusagula somba syambone ni kusitaga mu itundu yao ni somba syangalumbana ŵasijasile.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
49 Yeleyi ni ichichiŵa kumbesi kwa chilambo chino, achikatumetume ŵa kwinani chachikopochela, chiŵalekanganye ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana. (aiōn g165)
So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Nombe ŵele ŵangalumbana wo chiŵajasile pa litanuli lya mooto. Kweleko chachilila ni kuchilimya meeno.”
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana gele gose ga nkugamanyilila?” Ŵajanjile, “Elo.”
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.
52 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Kwa ligongo lyo, jwakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa jwalijose jwakuŵa jwakulijiganya jwa Umwenye wa kwinani, alandene ni nsyene nyuumba jwakukoposya mu mbiko jakwe indu ya ndalama ya sambano ni indu ya ndalama ya kalakala.”
And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yele itagu yo, ŵatyosile pelepo,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 ni ŵapite mu musi wao. Kweleko ŵajiganyaga ŵandu mu nyuumba jao ja kupopelela, nombewo ŵasimosile nikuti, “Jweleju apatile kwapi alu lunda lu ni ukombole wa kuipanganya yakusimonjeka?
And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Ana ajuju ngati mwana jwa jwakusepa itela? Achikulu ŵao ngati akuŵilanjikwa che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngati che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Simoni ni che Yuda?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Achalumbugwe wose ngati ali pamo ni uweji? Nambi ajuju apatile kwapi aga gose ga?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 Nipele, nganiŵakunda. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa nambo ngaakuchimbichikwa mu chilambo chakwe ni mu nyuumba jakwe!”
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Kwa ligongo lyo, nganatenda yakusimonjeka yaijinji ligongo lya ungali chikulupi wao.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
