Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Yesu pakamaliliti kutakula visoweru avi, kawuka Galilaya kagenda mumkowa gwa Yudeya, kumwambu kulushemba Yoridani.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti aku, na yomberi kawaponiziyiti walelwi.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Mafalisayu wamu wamwizira, wafiriti kumgomiziya pawamkosiya, “Hashi, Malagaliru getu gatulekeziya muntu kumleka mdala gwakuwi kwa likosa lyoseri?”
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Yesu kawawankula, “Hashi, hamwebetuli Mumalembu Mananagala handa Mlungu pakanjiti kumuumba muntu mpalu na mdala?
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
Su Mlungu kalonga, ‘Toziya ayi hakamleki mawu na tati gwakuwi, hakagendi na mdala gwakuwi, woseri awili hawaweri yumu.’
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Su womberi hawaweri ndiri awili, kumbiti hawaweri yumu. Shakalemetiziyiti Mlungu, muntu nakashitula gweka.”
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Kumbiti Mafalisayu wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi, Musa katupanani Lilagaliru kwa muntu kumleka mdala gwakuwi kwa kumpanani malembu ga kumleka?”
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Yesu kawankula, “Musa kalagaliriti kuwaleka wadala wenu toziya mwelewa ndiri pawawafundisha. Kumbiti iwera ndiri ntambu ayi mushipindi Mlungu pakaumbiti.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Nukugambirani kuwera muntu yoseri yakamleka mdala gwakuwi kwantambu yoseri ilii kuliku kujimira kwakuwi, su katenda uhumba pakayuga mdala gwingi.”
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Wafundwa wakuwi wamgambira, “Paviwera vitwatira vya mpalu na mdala vya ntambu ayi, mbaka kulikala pota kuyuga.”
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Yesu kawankula, “Vitwatila avi viwawusu ndiri woseri yawaweza kuvijimira, kumbiti hera kwa woseri Mlungu yakawapanani wavimani.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Toziya kwana vintu vimonga vyavimtenda muntu kayugi ndiri, wamonga wayiwukiti ntambu ira ayi, na wamonga watendwa na wantu hapeni wayugi na wamonga walema kuyuga toziya ya Ufalumi wa kumpindi. Yoseri yakajimira mafundu aga, su kagajimili.”
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Wantu wamu wamjegeriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawakisikiri na kuwaluwira kwa Mlungu, kumbiti wafundwa wawakalipira.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Yesu katakula, “Muwaleki wana wizi kwa neni, namuwalewelera toziya Ufalumi wa kumpindi ndo wa wantu gambira wana awa.”
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Kawakisikira womberi, shakapanu kawuka palii.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Muntu yumu kamgendera Yesu kamkosiya, “mfunda, ntendi shintu gaa shiherepa su mpati ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Yesu kamwankula, “Iwera hashi gunkosiya kuusu shitwatila shiheri? Kwana yumu hera yakawera muheri. Pagufira kwingira muukomu wa mashaka goseri gugajimili malagaliru ga Mlungu.”
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Yomberi kakosiya, “Malagaliru goshi?” Yesu kamwankula, “Nagulaga, nagutenda uhumba, nagwiwa, nagutakula upitawu wa mpayu kwa muntu yoseri,
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
guwapanani ligoya tati gwaku na mawu gwaku, na guwafiri wantu wamonga ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Muntemba ulii kamgambira, “Malagaliru goseri nugajimira, ntendi shishi shimonga?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Yesu kamgambira yomberi, “Handa pagufira guweri muheri nakaka, gugendi gwakawuzi vintu vyaku vyoseri na guwapanani mpiya wahushu na gwenga haguweri mlunda kumpindi kwa Mlungu, shakapanu gwizi gunfati.”
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Muntemba ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kagenda zakuwi pakakalala toziya kaweriti kalunda nentu.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
Shakapanu Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Nakaka nukugambirani mwenga, hayiweri vikamala nentu kwa mlunda kwingira Muufalumi wa kumpindi.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Nakaka nuwagambirani, hayiweri vikamala kwa mlunda kwingira Muufalumi wa Mlungu kuliku shigongolu shawashishema ntembu kwingira mushitoboli sha sindanu.”
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Wafundwa pawapikaniriti aga, walikangasha nentu. Su wamkosiya, “Hashi, ndo gaa yakaweza kulopoziwa?”
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Yesu kawalola na kawankula, “Ashi shikamala nentu kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu shila shintu shikamala ndiri.”
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Shakapanu Peteru kalonga, “Guloli, twenga tuleka shila shintu na tukufata gwenga. Hashi, hatupati shishi?”
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yesu kawagambira, “Hamuweri na unakaka kuwera Mwana gwa Muntu pakalikala mushibanta sha shifalumi shikwisa muisi yasyayi, mwenga yamunfata neni, hamulivagi muvibanta vikwisa, kugakolamlima makabila lilongu na mbili ga Israeli.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Na yoseri yakalekiti numba ama mlongu ama mhasha ama tati ama mawu ama wana ama malambu toziya yaneni, hakapati mala miya nentu ya vilii yakavilekiti na hakalikali muukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Kumbiti wantu wavuwa yawawera wa kwanja vinu hawaweri wa kupelera, na woseri yawawera wakupelera vinu hawaweri wa kwanja.
