< Matthew 13 >

1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Ligono e'lu Yesu abhokili pa nyumba ni kutama kando j'ha bahari.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Bhumati m'baha bhwakusanyiki ni kun'syonghoka, aj'hingili mugati mu bhuatu ni kutama. Bhumati bhuoha bhwa j'hemili kando j'ha bahari.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
Kisha Yesu akajobha malobhi ghamehele kwa mifuano, Akajobha, “Langai, mpanzi alothili kubhiala.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
Bho ibhiala baadhi j'ha mbeyu syabinili kando j'ha nj'hela ni fidege fikahida fikadonola.
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
Mbeyu seng'he syabinili panani pa muamba, ambapo syakabhili lepi bhud'hopi bhwa kutosha. Ghafla sikakhipula kwa ndabha bhud'hopi bhwaj'helepi ni kina.
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
Lakini lij'hobha bho liyakili syanyanyibhu kwandabha syaj'helepi ni mizizi, na syaj'homili.
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
Mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu bhud'hopi bhunofu, mbeyu senge syabinili mu mab'ehe gha mifwa. Mab'ehe ghenye mifwa j'halotili kunani ghikaip'eta.
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
Mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu bhud'hopi bhunofu ni kuhogola mbeyu, s'enge mara mia moja zaidi, s'enge sitini ni s'enge thelathini
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
J'haaj'hele ni mb'holokhoto na ap'elekai.
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Bhanafunzi bhakahida ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki ghwilongela ni makutano kwa mifano?”
11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
Yesu akajibu akabhajobhela, “Mup'helibhu bhupendeleo bhwa mbinguni, bali bhene bhapelibhulepi.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
Lakini j'hej'hioha j'haaj'henaku, kwa muene ibetakuj'hongesibhwa nesu, na ibetakukabha faida ibhaha nesu. Ila j'haabelikuj'ha naku hata khela kidebe kyaaj'henaku ipokibhwa.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
Hivyo nilongela nabhu kwa mifano kwa ndabha ingabhwa bhilola, bhasibhoni kweli. Na ingabhwa bhip'heleka, bhasip'heleki bhwala kumanya.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
Bhunabii bhwa Isaya bhutimili kwa bhene, bhola bhwabhwijobha, “Pamwip'heleka mup'helekayi, lakini kwa namna j'hej'hioha mwibetalepi kuj'helebhwa; bhwakati pamwilola mubhwesiayi kulola, lakini kwa namna j'hej'hioha j'hela musimanyi.
15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
Na mioyo ghya bhanu abha j'himalikuj'ha ngisi, ni figumu kup'heleka na bhafumbili mihu gha bhene, ili bhasibhwesi kulola kwa mihu gha bhene, au kup'heleka kwa mb'olokhoto sya bhene, au kumanya kwa mioyo ghya bhene, hivyo ngabhanisanikili kabhele na nganibhaponyisi.'
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Bali mihu gha j'homu ghabarikibhu, kwa ndabha ghilola, ni mbolokhoto sya j'homu kwa kuj'ha sip'heleka.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
Hakika nikabhajobhela manabii bhingi ni bhanu bhabhajhele ni haki bhaj'hele ni hamu j'ha kughabhona mambo ghala gha mkaghabhona, na bhabhwesilepi kughabhona. Bhanyonyweghe kup'heleka mambo agha gha mwip'heleka, bhashindilu kughap'heleka.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Henu mp'helekhesiayi mfuano ghwa mpanzi.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
Bhwakati j'hej'hioha pa ip'heleka lilobhi lya mfalme na asilimanyi, ndipo mwovu ihida ni kukitola kyakimalikuj'ha kimali kubhyalibhwa mugati mu n'teema ghwakhe. Ej'he ndo mbeyu j'hela j'haj'habhyalibhu kando j'ha nj'hela.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
Muene j'ha abhyalibhu mu miamba ndo j'hola j'haip'heleka lilobhi ni kulijamb'elela nyata kwa kuhobhoka.
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Bado aj'helepi ni mizizi mugati mwake, ila isindamala kwa muda bhudebe. Bhwakati matatisu au malombosi paghihida kwandabha j'ha lilobhi ikwikungufula ghafla.
22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age (aiōn g165) and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Jhaabhyalibhu kati j'ha mabehe ghya mifwa oj'ho ndo j'hola j'haap'heliki lilobhi lakini malombosi gha bhulimwengu ni bhusiobhi bhwa bhutajiri bhukalisiobha lela lilobhi lisihidi likahogola matunda. (aiōn g165)
23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
J'haabhyalibhu mu bhud'opi bhunofu, oj'ho ndo j'hola j'haip'heleka lilobhi ni kulimanya. Oj'ho ndo j'hola j'haihogola matunda ni kuj'hendelela kuhogola limonga zaidi j'ha mara mia, s'enge sitini, s'enge thelathini.”
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
Yesu akabhap'ela mfuano bhongi. Akajobha, “Bhufalme bha kumbinguni bhwifananisibhwa ni munu j'ha abhiele mbeyu sinofu mu n'gonda ghwake.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
Lakini bhanu bho bhisinjila, adui akahida akabhiala mag'ug'u pagati pa ngano kisha akabhoka.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Baadaye ngano bho j'himelili ni kuhomesya mazao ghake, ndipo mag'ug'u ghakaj'ha ghihomisi na ghene.
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
Ni bhatumishi bha n'kolo nyumba bhakahida bhakan'jobhela, 'Bwana, ghwabhiele lepi mbeyu j'hinofu mu n'gonda? J'hij'hebhuli henu lij'hele ni maghogho?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
Akabhajobhela, Adui abhombili e'le.' Bhatumishi bhakan'jobhela, “Kwa hiyo ghwilonda tulotaj'hi tukaghabhosi?”
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
N'kolo n'gonda akajobha, 'Lepi, bhwakati mwidupula maghogho mwibeta kudupula pamonga ni ngano.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Mughalekai ghakholayi pamonga hadi bhwakati bhwa mavuno. Bhwakati bhwa mavuno nibetakujobha kwa bhavunaji, 'Kwanza mughadupulayi maghogho na mughakonga matita matita ni kughanyanya, lakini mukhonganiayi ngano mu lighala lyangu.””
31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
Kisha Yesu akabhahomesela mfuano bhongi. Akajobha, “Bhufalme bhwa mbinguni bhwifanana ni mbeyu j'ha haradali ambaj'ho munu aitolili ni kuj'hibhiala mu n'gonda ghuake.
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
Mbeyu ej'he kwa hakika ndo j'hidebe kuliko mbeyu s'enge sioha. Lakini paj'himela j'hiha m'baha kuliko mimea ghenge ghioha ghwa bustani, ghwij'ha lib'ehe, kiasi kwamba fidege fya kunani fihida ni kujenga fiseiswi mu matafi ghake.”
33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
Akabhajobhela mfuano bhongi kabhele.”Bufalme bhwa mbinguni ni kama chachu j'hela j'haj'hitabhwalibhu ni n'dala ni kuj'hichanganya kwa fipemo fidatu kwa sembe mpaka fiumukai.
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
Agha ghoha Yesu aghajobhili mu bhumati kwa mifuanu. Na bila mifuano ajobhilepi khenu kwa bhene.
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
E'j'he j'haj'hele kuj'ha khela kyakimali kujobhibhwa kup'hetela kwa nabii kibhwesiaghe kutimila, pala paajobhili, “Nibetakufumbula kinywa kyangu mu mifuano. Nibetakujobha mambo ghala ghaghaj'hele gha figheme kuhomela misingi ghya bhulimwengu”.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
Kisha Yesu abhaleka makutano ni kulota kunyumba. Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'kesya ni kujobha, “Tufafanulilayi mfano ghwa maghogho gha mun'gonda.
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
Yesu ajibili ni kujobha, “J'haibhiala mbeyu j'hinofu ndo Mwana ghwa Adamu.
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
N'gonda ndo bhulimwengu; ni mbeyu j'hinofu ndo abha bhana bhufalme. Maghogho ndo bhana bha j'hola mwovu, na adui j'haasibhiele ndo ibilisi.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the consummation of the age (aiōn g165), and the reapers are angels.
Na mavuno ndo mwisu ghwa bhulimwengu, na bhavunaji ndo malaika. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the consummation of this age (aiōn g165).
Kama vile maghogho kyaghibhonganibhwa ni kunyanyibhwa muoto, efyo ndivyo kyaj'hibeta kuj'ha mwisu ghwa bhulimwengu. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
Mwana ghwa Adamu ibetakubhalaghisya malaika bha muene, ni kubhonganiya kuhoma mu bhufalme bhuakhe mambo ghoha ghaghasababisibhu dhambi ni bhala bha bhibhomba maasi.
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Bhibetakubhatagha bhoha mu litanuru lya muoto, ambako kubeta kuj'ha ni kilelu ni kusiagha minu.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Ndipo bhanu bhenye haki babhibetakung'ara kama lijobha mu Bhufalme bhwa Tata j'habhu. Muene j'ha aj'hele ni mbolokhoto na ap'helekai.
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni kama hazina j'haj'hifighibhu mu n'gonda. Munu kama ajhibuene ni kuj'hifigha. Mu furaha j'hiakhe akalota kuhemelesya fyoha fya aj'he nafu, ni kuhemela n'gonda.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Kabhele, bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni kama munu j'ha thamani.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Bhwakati bho aj'hibhuene j'hela j'haj'hij'hele ni thamani, akalota akahemelesya kila khenu kyaaj'henaku na akaj'hihemela.
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
Bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni kama nkwabhu bhwabhujele mmasi, na kwamba ghwibhonganisya fiumbe fya kila aina.
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
Bhobhamemili bhavuvi bhaufutili pa lubhafu. Kisha bhakatama pasi bhakabhonganiya fenu finofu mugati mu k'henu, lakini fya fibelikuj'ha ni thamani fyataghibhu kutali.
49 So it will be in the consummation of the age (aiōn g165). The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
J'hibeta kuj'ha namna ej'he mu mwisu ghwa dunia. Malaika bhibetakuhida ni kubhatenga bhanu bhaovu kuh'oma miongoni mwa bhenye haki. (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Ni kubhatagha mugati mu litanuru lya muoto, ambako kubetakuj'ha ni maombolezo ni kusiagha minu.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Mughamanyili mambo ghoha agha? Bhanafunzi bhan'jibili,
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
“Ena.”Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela, “Khila mwandishi ambaj'he aj'hele mwanafunzi ghwa bhufalme ibhwaningana ni n'kolo nyumba j'haihomesya fenu mu hazina j'ha muene fipya ni filala.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Ikaj'ha Yesu bho amalili mifano ghioha eghu, akabhoka pa sehemu ej'hu.
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Kisha Yesu akafika mu mkoa ghwa muene na akabhafundisya bhanu mu masinagogi. Matokeo ghake ni kuj'ha bhasyangele ni kujobha, “Ndaku munu oj'ho pa akabhili hekima ej'he ni miujiza eghe?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
Munu oj'ho si mwana ghwa seremala? Mariamu nyinamunu lepi? ni bhalongomunu Yakobo, Yusufu, Simoni ni Yuda?
56 Are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
Ni bhalomb'omuni tuj'henabhu apa patete? Basi munu oj'ho aghakabhili ndaku ghoha agha?”.
57 They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
Akabhadadisya. Lakini Yesu akabhajobhela, “Nabii ikosalepi kuj'ha ni heshima isipokuj'ha kwa bhene ni nchi j'ha bhene.
58 He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Na abhwesilepi kubhomba miujiza mingi kwa ndabha bhaj'helepi ni imani naku.
