Matei 13
1 Lyubha lyolyo, a Yeshu gubhajabhwile pamui pala, gubhapite tama nnyenje litanda.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Makundi gamakulungwa ga bhandu gashinkwaatimbilila mpaka a Yeshu gubhakwelile muntumbwi gubhatemi. Bhandu bhowe gubhajimingene nnyenje litanda.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje indu yaigwinji kwa ndango, bhalinkuti, “Mpilikananje! Nkupanda ashinkwenda panda mmbeju.
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 “Paliji nkumiya mmbeju, ina gwigwilile mumpanda, ijuni gwiishe nilya.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Ina gwigwilile pamaganga pangali litaka lyaligwinji. Gwiimelile shangupe pabha litaka likataliyeje,
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 lyubha likabhaleje, gwiinyalile, na pabha mbubhu yakwe yangajendeya gwiijumwile.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Ina gwigwilile pa mikongo ja mibha, na jalakwe gujikulile niutalila.
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Ina gwigwilile pa litaka lya mmbone, gwiimelile, gwiiogwele ina makumi kumi na ina makumi shita na ina makumi gatatu.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Akwete makutujo na apilikane!”
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaajendelenje nikwaabhuya, “Pakuti nnabheleketa na bhandunji kwa ndango?”
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Mmanganya nshijaliwanga kwiimanya indu ya nng'iyo ya Upalume gwa Kunnungu, ikabheje bhanganyanjibho bhangajaliwanga.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Pabha akwete shindu apinga pegwa na jenjeshewa, ikabheje jwangali shindu, nkali shakwete shila, shipinga tolwa.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Ngunabheleketa nabhonji kwa ndango, pabha bhanalolanga ikabheje shakwa shibhakushibhonanga, bhanapilikanilanga ikabheje bhakapilikananga, wala bhakaelewanga.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Gatimilile gubhabhelekete ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Ishaya ga kuti, Bhakulungwa bhaashite, ‘Kupilikana shimpilikananje, ikabheje nkaelewanga. Nkupinga lolanga, ikabheje nkashibhonanga shindu
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 Pabha mitima ja bhene bhandunjibha jishitopa Bhashiibhanga makutu gabhonji, Bhashikupilanga meyo gabhonji. Gwangali nneyo, bhakalolilenje na meyo gabhonji, Bhakapilikenenje na makutu gabhonji, Bhakaelewenje mmitima jabhonji, Bhakandendebhushilenje, bhashite Bhakulungwa, ngaalamiyenje.’
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 “Ikabheje mbaya mmanganyanji, pabha meyo genunji ganalola na makutu genunji ganapilikana.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na bhandunji bha aki bhabhagwinji bhashinkulokolilanga kugabhona gunkugabhonangaga, bhanagabhonanje, na pilikana gunkupilikanangaga, bhanagapilikananje.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 “Bhai, mmanganya mpilikananje lutango luka nkupanda.
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Jojowe akulipilikana lilobhe lya Upalume gwa Kunnungu gwangali kulielewa, pali malinga mmbeju igwilile mumpanda ila, na Lishetani anakwiyatola shipandilwe muntima gwakwe shila.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Mmbeju jipandilwe pa liganga jila jinalandana naka mundu akulipilikana lilobhe lya a Nnungu, shangupe anakuliposhela nikwiinonyela,
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 ikabheje akakulibhika muntima gwakwe nilonjeya, na pushiika shilaje kwa ligongo lya lyene lilobhelyo, shangupe anatenguka.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Mmbeju jigwilile pa mikongo ja mibha, inalandalana naka mundu akulipilikana lyene lilobhelyo, ikabheje ga lipamba lya shilambolyo shino na ga pinga kola indu inautalila lilobhelyo, na lyalakwe likaogoya iepo. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Mmbeju jipandilwe nnitaka lya mmbone jinalandana naka mundu akulipilikana lyene lilobhelyo na kulielewa, na jwalakwe malinga mmbeju iogoya iepo, jimo makumi kumi na jina makumi shita na jina makumi gatatu.”
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhandunji lutango luna, “Upalume gwa Kunnungu ushilandana naka mundu apandile mmbeju ya mmbone mungunda gwakwe.
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Ikabheje bhandu bhalibhagonilenje, mmagongo nnjabho gwaishe, gwapandile likonde mungunda gwabho gwa ngano, gwaijabhulile.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Bhai, ngano ikameleje na tandubha tumbuka, likonde nalyalakwe gulikulile.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Bhatumishi bha bhayene nngunda bhala gubhaajendelenje, nikwaalugulila, ‘Mmakulungwa, imwapandile mmbeju ya mmbone mungunda gwenu. Igala nnaino likonde kulikopweshe kwei?’
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 Nabhalabho gubhaajangwilenje, ‘Amagongo ajangu bhatendile nneyo.’ Bhai, bhatumishi bhabho gubhaabhushiyenje, ‘Bhuli nnipinga tujende tukatutumbule?’
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 Nabhalabho gubhaajangwilenje, ‘Nngabha, inabha pushintutumbulanje likonde nnatutumbulanga na ngano.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Nnekanje yowe ikule pamo mpaka mobha ga maneng'eno. Gene mobhago shinaalugulilanje bhaunanga, nkumbililanje likonde mmatuto nijoka. Ikabheje ngano nnopolanje nkabhikanje mungokwe jangu.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhandunji lutango luna, “Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana na mmbeju ja aladali jatolile mundu jumo, gwapandile mungunda gwakwe.
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Mmbeju jene jajishoko kupunda mmbeju yowe, ikabheje jimelaga jinakula nipunda yalya yowe munngunda, nibha malinga nkongo gwankulungwa, nkali ijuni inakwiyashenga maui nnyambi yakwe.”
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 A Yeshu gubhaabalanjilenje lutango luna, “Upalume gwa Kunnugu ushilandana na ngedule jibhatolile bhakongwe bhamo, gwaangenye na utandi madebhe gabhili na nushu, utandi gowe guumwishe.”
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 A Yeshu bhashinkwaalugulilanga bhandu gene gowego kwa ndango. Bhangaalugulilanga shindu shoshowe gwangali ndango,
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 nkupinga litimilile lyelila, lyalugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu, “Shimelekete nabhonji kwa ndango Shing'unukule gaishiywe tandubhila kupanganywa kwa shilambolyo.”
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Kungai a Yeshu gubhaalajilenje bhandunji bhala, gubhajinjile nnyumba. Bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaajendelenje, gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nntulugulile ukoto ga lutango lwa likonde munngunda.”
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Apanda mmbeju ya mmbone ila, Mwana juka Mundu,
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Nngunda gula shilambolyo. Mmbeju ya mmbone ila, bhandunji bhalinginji Muupalume gwa Kunnungu. Ikabheje likonde lila bhandunji bhaka Lishetani.
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 Mmagongo apandile likonde lila ni Lishetani. Mauno, mpelo gwa shilambolyo na bhaunanga, ashimalaika. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Malinga makonde shigakuti kumbililwa nijokwa moto, pushijiyebha lyubha lya mpelo gwa shilambolyo. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mwana juka Mundu apinga kwatumanga ashimalaika bhakwe bhakaalopolanje koposhela Muupalume gwabho bhowenji bhalinginji shiumilo sha bhandu kutenda yambi, na bhowe bhaatendanga ya nyata.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 Nikwaaleshelanga nnishembo lya moto, kweneko bhapinga gutanga na tauna meno.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Kungai, bhanguja bhala bhapinga ng'anyimanga mbuti lyubha Muupalume gwa Ainabhabhonji. Akwete makutujo na apilikane!
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 “Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana na shibhiko shiishiwe munngunda. Mundu jumo gwashibhweni, gwashiishiye kabhili. Ashinkuangalala kwa kaje, gwapite kuusha yowe yakwete, gwaumile nngunda gula.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 “Kabhili, Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana naka mundu jumo ausha indu, nkuloleya liganga lya konja lya mmbiya yaigwinji lishemwa lulu.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Akajibhoneje lulu jimo ja mmbiya yaigwinji, gwapite usha yowe yaakwete, gwaumile lulu jila.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 “Kabhili, Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana na lyau litejilwe mmashi, yamaki ya kila namuna gwiitanjile.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Lyau lila likagumbaleje, bhandunji gubhautilenje kunyenje bhaali, gubhatemingenenje, gubhaagwilenje yamaki ya mmbone gubhatajilenje mwiikapu yabhonji na yangali ya mmbone gubhaijailenje.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Nneyo pushijiyebha kumpelo gwa shilambolyo, shibhakoposhelanje ashimalaika, bhapinga agulanya bhandunji, bhangali bha mmbone na bhakwetenje aki, (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 na kwaleshelanga pa moto bhangali bha mmbonebho. Kweneko shibhagutanje na tauna meno.”
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 A Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli, nngaelewenje gene gowego?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Elo.”
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Nabhalabho gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhai nneyo, kila bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhajigenywe ga Upalume gwa Kunnungu, bhanalandana na bhayene nyumba bhashoya nshibhiko shabho indu ya ambi na ya bhukala.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 A Yeshu bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa ndango yoweyo gubhaijabhulile,
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 gubhapite kushijiji shabho ku Nashaleti. Kweneko gubhaajigenyenje bhandunji nshinagogi jabhonji, mpaka gubhakanganigwenje, gubhashitenje, “Jweneju kwapatile kwei lwene lunda na mashili ga tenda yene ilapoi?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Bhuli, jweneju nngabha mwanagwabho apundi shelemala bhala? Bhuli, akwabhe nngabha a Malia na ashapwakwe nngabha a Yakobho na a Yoshepu na a Shimoni na a Yuda?
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 Bhuli, ashalumbugwe, bhowe nngabha tulitama nabhonji pano? Bhai, kwapatile kwei gene gowega?”
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Bhai, gubhaashimilenje. Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Nkulondola jwa a Nnungu akalepela kukuywa, ikabheje pa shilambo shakwe na kunngwakwe!”
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 family.”
58 Kwa nneyo, bhangatenda ilapo yaigwinji pepala kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila gwabhonji.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
