BWC
Lintu Yesu apwisisye ukulanda aya masiwi, afumine mu Galili, aile kukyalo kya Yudeya busilya bwa mulonga wa Yodani.
BSB
BSB:
When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2
BWC
Amabumba ayakalamba yalimukonkele kabili alibondepe kulya kwine.
BSB
BSB:
Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3
BWC
Abafalise bamo baisile kuli Yesu bamwipusya ilipusyo lyakumwesya ukuti, “Busye kyalisuminisiwa umwaume ukuleka umukasi wakwe pamulandu uli onse?”
BSB
BSB:
Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4
BWC
Yesu abaswike ukuti, “Busye tamwabelenga ukuti uwababumbile ukutula mukutendeka, abumbile umwaume no mwanakasi?
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5
BWC
Kabili nokweba ati, ‘Pamulandu waiki umwaume akasya wisi nanyina nokuyasuntinkana pamo nomukasi wakwe, kabili aba babili bakaba umubili umo.’
BSB
BSB:
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6
BWC
Nomba tabali babili lelo baba umo. Eikyo ikyabika Lesa pamo tapali umuntu uwingalekanya.”
BSB
BSB:
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
7
BWC
Abafalise bamwipwisye ukuti, “Busye kinsi Mose aebele umwaume ukulembela umukasi kalata yakupwilapo ikyupo nokumutamfya?”
BSB
BSB:
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8
BWC
Yesu abaswike ukuti, “Nipamulandu wakumalala kwa mitima Mose amisuminisye ukuleka abakasi benu, lelo mukutendeka takyali ngefi.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9
BWC
Kabili ndemyeba ukuti, onse uwaleka umukasi wakwe, pamulandu uusili wabulalelale, aupa naumbi ninsi akita ubukende.”
BSB
BSB:
Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10
BWC
Abasambi bakwe bamwebele ati, “Ifi ngefintu kyaba pamulume nomukasi wakwe, ninsi kyawamapo ukukana upa.”
BSB
BSB:
His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11
BWC
Yesu abaswike ukuti, “Tebantu bonse abengasumina aya mafundisyo, lelo kanofye kuli abo kyapelwa.
BSB
BSB:
“Not everyone can accept this word,”
He replied,
“but only those to whom it has been given.
12
BWC
Pantu kwaliba imilandu iyingi iyo abaume teti bopile, bamo nipamulandu efintu bafyelwefye, bambi teti bope pamulandu abantu ebabalenga ukuba muli iyi nsila, kabili nabambi basalapofye ukuti teti bope pamulandu no bufumu bwa mumulu. Lekeni uwingapokelela ili fundisyo alipokelele.”
BSB
BSB:
For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13
BWC
Abantu baletele abana abanono kuli Yesu, ukuti abatambalikepo amaboko nokubapepela. Abasambi balibakalipile.
BSB
BSB:
Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14
BWC
Lelo Yesu alandile ukuti, “Lekeni abana abanono bese kuli nebo mwibakanya, pantu ubufumu bwa mumulu bwabo.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15
BWC
Kabili abatambalikepo amaboko nokufuma kulya.
BSB
BSB:
And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16
BWC
Elo umuntu umo aisile kuli Yesu amwipusya ukuti, “We kafundisya, kisumansi ningakita pakukwata umweo wamuyaya?”
BSB
BSB:
Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”
17
BWC
Kabili Yesu amwebele ukuti, “Kinsi ikyo wangitila ati umusuma? Lesa fye eka emusuma. Ngolefwaya ukukwata umweo wamuyaya, ulekonka ifipope fyakwe.”
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you ask Me about what is good?”
Jesus replied.
“There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18
BWC
Umulumendo aipwisye ukuti, “Busye nifisa?” Yesu amwaswike ukuti, “Wilaipaya, wilakita ubukende, wilaiba, wilabepesya abantu ubufi,
BSB
BSB:
“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered,
“‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19
BWC
ulekindika wiso na noko, kabili uletemwa umubiyo ngafitu waitemwa.”
BSB
BSB:
honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20
BWC
Umulumendo ayaswike ukuti, “Nalikonka ifipope fyonse ifi, busye nikinsi kimbi mfwile ukukita?”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
21
BWC
Yesu amwaswike ukuti, “Ngaulefwaya ukuba uwapwililika, kabiye uyesitisya fyonse fintu wakwata! Upele ulupiya kubapina, lyena ukakwata ifyuma mumulu. Elo wise unkonke.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus told him,
“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22
BWC
Lintu umulumendo aumfwile ifi, aile uwabulanda pantu ali nanonkesya.
BSB
BSB:
When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23
BWC
Kabili Yesu aebele abasambi bakwe ukuti, “Ndemyeba ikinekine ukuti, kintu kyasupa uwafyuma ukwingila mu bufumu bwa mumulu.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said to His disciples,
“Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24
BWC
Nakabili ndemyeba ukuti, kyayangukapo Ingamila ukupula mu linso lyansindano ukukila uwafyuma ukwingila mu bufumu bwakwa Lesa.”
BSB
BSB:
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25
BWC
Lintu abasambi baumfwile aya masiwi balipapile umupwilapo. Baipwisye ukuti, “Nomba busye kansi ninani uwingapusuka?”
BSB
BSB:
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26
BWC
Lelo Yesu abalolesye nokubasuka ukuti, “Ifi fintu fyayafya kubantu, lelo kuli Lesa fyonse fyalyanguka.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus looked at them and said,
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27
BWC
Petelo ayaswike ukuti, “Mona fwebo twalisya ifintu fyonse nokukukonka. Busye nifinsi tukakwatamo?”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
28
BWC
Yesu abebele ukuti, “Ndemyeba ikine kine ukuti, lintu Umwana Wamuntu akekala pakipuna kya bufumu ikyabukata Mukyalo kipya, namwebasambi bandi ikumi limo na babili, mukekala pafipuna fya bufumu mukupingula imikowa ikumi limo nasibili isya bena Israeli.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus said to them,
“Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29
BWC
Kabili naonse uwasya amayanda, bamunyina, bankasi yakwe, bawisi, banyina, abana nangu amabala pamulandu wandi, akapelelwapo pali fyonse imiku umwanda umo kabili akakwata nomweo wamuyaya.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
