Matei 13
1 Ligono lilolo, Yesu awukili munyumba yila akahamba kutama mumhana ya nyanja.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Msambi uvaha wa vandu wamtindili hati Yesu akakwela muwatu, akatama. Vandu voha vayimili mumhana ya nyanja,
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 namwene Yesu akavajovela mambu ga mahele kwa miluhumu. “Myuwanila, mundu mmija mbeyu ahambili kumija mbeyu.
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 Peamijili, mbeyu zingi zikagwilila munjila, na hidege yikabwela yikahola.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Zingi zakagwilila pamatalau pangali kuvya na ludaka neju. Zalolikini zimeli kanyata ndava ludaka lwavi lwamahele lepi.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 Lilanga palaumili, lachonili ndava mikiga yaki yakamwili lepi muludaka, zikanyala.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Mbeyu zingi zagwilili mumikongo ya minga, ndi mikongo ya minga yikamela na kuzihinya.
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Zingi zagwili paludaka lwa bwina, zameli na kupambika, yingi mbeyu miya yimoja na yingi mbeyu sitini na yingi mbeyu selasini.”
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Yesu akajova, myuwana nyenye mwemuvi na makutu.
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Vawuliwa va Yesu vamhambili, vakamkota, “Ndava kyani wijova na vandu kwa miluhumu?”
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Yesu akavayangula, “Nyenye mpewili uhotola wa kumanya umfiyu wa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu vene vapewili lepi.
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 Muni mundu mweavi na chindu yati iyonjokesewa neju, nambu mundu angali kuvya na chindu hati cheavi nachu yati chinyagiwa.
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 Muni nijova nawu kwa miluhumu, ndava vilolokesa nambu vilola lepi viyuwana nambu vimanya lepi.
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 Kwa vene gatimili malovi gala geajovili Isaya mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, kuyuwana yati mwiyuwana, nambu yati mwimanya lepi, kulola yati mwilola, nambu yati mwiwona lepi,
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 muni mitima ya vandu ava yitopa. Vagadindii makutu gavi, vagubiki mihu gavi. Kuvya lepi, yavaloli na mihu gavi, yavayuwini na makutu gavi, yavamanyalili muluhala lwavi, na kumuwuyila Bambu, na nene nganivalamisi.
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 Nambu mmotisiwa nyenye, muni mihu ginu gilola na makutu ginu giyuwana.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Nikuvajovela chakaka, vamlota va Chapanga vamahele na vandu va Chapanga vamahele vanogili kugalola gala gemgaloli nambu vagaloli lepi, na kuyuwana gala gemyuwini nambu nakuyuwana.”
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 “Hinu, nyenye myuwana ndava ya luhumu lwenulu lwa mmija mbeyu.
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Yeyoha mweiyuwana lilovi la Unkosi wa Chapanga changamanya, iwanangana ngati mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi yula mhakau ibwela na kutola chechimijiwi mumtima waki.
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 Mbeyu zezagwili mulitalau ndi luhumu wa mundu yula mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo na bahapo akulipokela kwa luheku.
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Nambu nakuyingila mugati yaki ndava avi lepi na mikiga, lilovi lenilo litama mulukumbi luhupi na pegihumila man'gaiso na kuhengiwa uhakau ndava ya lilovi la Chapanga, kanyata igwa.
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 Mewawa na mbeyu yeyagwili pagati ya mikongo ya minga, ndi luhumu lwa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi lenilo, nambu mambu ga pamulima apa na mnogo wa kugana vindu vyamahele vikulitindila lilovi lenilo na ipambika lepi matunda ndi kuhenga gala gakumganisa Chapanga. (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 Nambu mbeyu yeyagwilili muludaka lwabwina ndi luhumu wa mundu mweiyuwana lilovi na kulimanya, ndi yipambika matunda, yimonga matunda miya na yingi matunda sitini na yingi matunda selasini.”
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 Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mundu mweamijili mbeyu yabwina mumgunda waki.
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Hinu vandu pavagonili abwelili mundu likoko na kumija masindi pagati ya nganu na kuwuka.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Penapo nganu peyameli na kutumbula kuholomola njechela, mewawa masindi gakahumila.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Vatumisi va mkolo mgunda vamhambili na kumjovela mwene, ‘Bambu, chakaka wamijili mbeyu zabwina kumgunda waku. Hinu masindi gahumili koki?’
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 Mwene akavayangula, ‘Mundu likoko ndi mweahengili genago.’ Ndi vatumisi vaki vakamkota wigana tete tikatupulai masindi?
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 Mwene akavayangula, ‘Lepi,’ Pangi pemwitupula masindi, yati mwitupula na nganu mewa.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Mlekayi vikula pamonga mbaka lukumbi lwa kubena. Lukumbi lwenulo ndi yati nikuvajovela vabenaji, vayola hoti masindi na kugakunga malundu ga kuyocha motu, na nganu mbenai na kuyivika pachibana changu.”
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 Yesu avajovili vandu luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mbeyu yidebe yeyikemiwa haladali mundu ayitolili, na kumija kumgunda waki.
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 Yene yivya yidebe kuliku mbeyu zoha, nambu yikamela na yikula kuvya mkongo uvaha kuliku mimea yoha, hati hidege yibwela na kujenga hisakanilu, mumambanda gaki.”
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 Yesu avajovili luhumu lungi, “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na mau mmonga mweagegili ngemeku, akahangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na lapinga, na uhembe woha watutumwiki.”
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 Yesu aujovili msambi wa vandu genago goha kwa miluhumu, kawaka chindu cheajovili changali miluhumu,
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 Muni lijambu leajovili mlota wa Chapanga litimilayi, “Yati nijova nawu kwa luhumu, yati nikuvajovela mambu gegafiyiki kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima.”
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 Kangi Yesu avalagili vandu vala, akayingila munyumba. Vawuliwa vaki vamhambalili vakamjovela, “Utidandaulila luhumu lwa masindi kumgunda.”
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 Yesu akavayangula, “Mmija mbeyu zabwina ndi Mwana wa Mundu
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Mgunda wula ndi pamulima. Mbeyu zabwina zila ndi vandu vala unkosi ndi wavi. Nambu masindi gala ndi vandu va yula Mhakau.
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 Mundu likoko yula mweamijili masindi ndi Setani. Mabenu ndi mwishu wa mulima uwu, vabenaji ndi Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga. (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 Ngati chavitupula masindi na kugayocha motu, ndi yati cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu. (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 wa Mundu yati akuvatuma Vamitumu vaki va Chapanga vavayola kuhuma ku Unkosi waki voha vevibudisa vandu kwa Chapanga na vevavi na matendu gahakau,
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 na kuvataga mulitanulu la motu ukali kwenuko yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Kangi, vandu vevihenga matendu gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati ving'asima ngati lilanga muunkosi wa Dadi wavi. Hinu mweavi na makutu ndi ayuwana!”
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 “Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana ngati vindu vya mashonga gamahele vyevifiyiki kumgunda. Mundu mmonga ayiwene, akafiya kavili. Ahekili neju, hati akahamba kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na akagula mgunda wula.”
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 “Kavili Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na mgulisa vindu mweilonda chindu cha mashonga gamahele neju chechikemelewa lulu.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Peapatili lulu yimonga yeyiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele neju, akahamba, kugulisa vyoha vyeavi navyu na kugula chindu chila.”
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 “Mewawa Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na ngwanda wa somba weujwigiwi munyanja, kulova somba ndalindali.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Paumemili, valova somba vahutili pandumba, vakatama na kuhagula somba zabwina na kuvika mumadengu gavi, na somba zezawolili vakataga.
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 Chenichi ndi cheyivya pamwishu wa mulima uwu, Vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga yati vihumila na kupangula vandu vabwina na vandu vahakau, (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 kangi yati vakuvataga vandu vahakau mulitanulu la motu, kwenuko ndi yati vivemba na kuyaga minu.”
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Yesu akavakota, “Wu, mukugamanya mambu goha aga?” Vakamyangula, “Ena.”
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Mwene akavajovela, “Hinu ndi kila muwula wa malagizu mweajiwulili kuuvala unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga, iwanangana ngati mkolo nyumba mweiwusa vindu muchibana vya mashonga gamahele vyamupya na vyakadeni.”
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 Yesu peamali kujova miluhumu yeniyo awukili pandu pala,
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 akahamba kumuji wavi. Akatumbula kuwula vandu munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, vevamyuwini vakakangasa, vakajova, “Mwenuyu apatili koki luhala ulu?” Na uhotola wa kuhenga gachinamtiti?
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 Wu, mwenuyu lepi mwana wa yula mhongola mikongo? Na nyina waki ikemiwa lepi Maliya na valongo vaki, lepi Yakobo na Yosefu na Simoni na 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 Valumbu vaki voha nakutama pamonga na tete? Hinu agapatili koki mambu ago goha?
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Vabeli kumpokela, nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mlota wa Chapanga itopeswa kila pandu, nambu nakutopeswa pamuji wa kunyumba yaki mwene!”
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 Hinu ndava ya kubela kumsadika kwavi, Yesu nakuhenga gachinamtiti yamahele kula.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
