Matthew 12 (MWE)

1Gene malangago, a Yeshu bhatendaga pita mmigunda ja ngano Lyubha lya Pumulila. Bhai, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakwetenje shibhanga, gubhatandwibhenje kupulula maashe ga ngano, nitauna.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2Mapalishayo bhakagabhonanjeje genego, gubhaalugulilenje a Yeshu, “Nnole, bhaajiganywa bhenu bhanatendanga indu ikapinjikwa tenda Lyubha lya Pumulila.”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga ibhatendile a Daudi na ashaajabhonji pubhalinginji na shibhanga?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Shibhashite jinjila nnyumba ja a Nnungu gubhalile mikate jabhishilwe kwa ligongo lya a Nnungu jila. Pabha bhenebho nkali na ashaajabhonji bhakaapinjikwangaga kulya jene mikatejo, ikabhe bhaabhishilape.He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Eu bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga nshitabhu sha Shalia ja a Musha kuti, puyakoposhelaga Lyubha lya Pumulila bhaabhishilanga bhatendaga lekanga kagula Shalia nniekalu, ikabheje bhakaganishiwanga kuti bhanalebhanga?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga kuti pepano apali ali jwankulungwa kupunda liekalu.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Kaliji nkamumanyinji malombolelo ga gene malobhe gano, ‘Shingupinga shiya nngabha mbepei,’ nkanaaukumulanje bhandunji bhangalebhanga.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Pabha, Mwana juka Mundu, ni nkulungwa jwa Lyubha lya Pumulila.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9A Yeshu gubhashoshile penepo, gubhajinjile nshinagogi jabhonji.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Ashinkupagwa mundu akwete nkono upolweshe. Bhai, bhandu gubhaabhushiyenje a Yeshu, “Bhuli, ilipinjikwa kunamiya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila?” Bhashinkwaabhuyanga nkupinga bhapatanje shiumilo sha kwaashitakia.and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Tujile mundu munkumbi gwenunji, ngondolo jwakwe atumbushilaga nniimbo, bhuli, akanshoya mwenemo pabha Lyubha lya Pumulila?He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Na mundu ni jwa mana kupunda ngondolo! Bhai, shalia jetu jinakutupinga kutenda ya mmbone Lyubha lya Pumulila.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Kungai gubhannugulile mundu jula, “Goloya nkono gwako.” Gwaugolweye, ukulamaga nibha malinga guna gula.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Ikabheje Ashimapalishayo gubhakopokenje palanga, gubhatendilenje nkungulu shanabhuli shibhaabhulaganje a Yeshu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15A Yeshu bhakagamanyeje genego, gubhajabhwile kweneko. Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakagwilenje, nigubhaalamiyenje bhalwelenji bhowe,Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16gubhaamulishenje bhanannugulilanje mundu ga bhenebho,warning them not to make Him known.

17nkupinga gamalile malobhe gubhabhelekete a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalinkuti,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Nnole ntumishi jwangu juninng'agwile, Jungumpinga anonyela muntima gwangu. Shimishe Mbumu yangu muka jwenejo, Jwalakwe shalunguye ya aki ku bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Akakola mitau wala kujobhela, Wala lilobhe lyakwe likapilikanika mmipanda.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Nnai upondeshe akautemanya, Wala utambi ushoya lyoi akauima, Mpaka pushatende ukumu jipinjikwa jitagwale.A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Bhandu bhangabha Bhayaudi shibhalikulupalilanje lina lyakwe.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Penepo bhandu gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu mundu jumo nangalole aliji bhubhu ligongo ashinkukola maoka. A Yeshu gubhanshoshiye lioka jula, gwakombwele kubheleketa na lola.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Lugwinjili lowe gubhakanganigwenje bhalinkutinji, “Bhuli, pana jweneju Ulongo gwa a Daudi?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Ikabheje Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhashitenje, “Jwene munduju anashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, nkulungwa jwa maoka.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25A Yeshu, bhakaimanyeje ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje, upalume gogowe ugabhanikaga makundi nikanana, shiugwe, na shilambo eu likaja lyolyowe ligabhanikaga makundi nikanana, likalonjeya.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Ibhaga Lishetani anashoya maoka, bhai, upalume gwakwe shigulonjeye shanabhuli?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Mmanganya nkutinji ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, bhuli, bhaakulupalila bhenunji bhanakwashoyanga kwa mashili gakeni? Kwa lyene ligongolyo bhanganyabho shibhanng'ukumulanje.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Ikabheje monaga ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili ga Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, bhai, mmumanyanje kuti Upalume gwa a Nnungu ung'ishilenje.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29“Jwakwa mundu akombola kujinjila nnyumba jika mundu akwete mashili nikumpokonyola indu yakwe, gwangali tandubha kuntabha. Penepo shakombole kumpokonyola indu yakwe.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30“Jojowe akakwiilunda na nne, anangana, naka jojowe akalopola pamo na nne, anajaanganya.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Kwa lyene ligongolyo, ngunakummalanjilanga, bhandu shibhaleshelelwanje yambi yabhonji yowe, na matukano gowe, ikabheje ga kuntukana Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo bhakaleshelelwanga.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Na kabhili, abheleketa lilobhe lya kuntauka Mwana juka Mundu shaleshelelwe, ikabheje abheleketa lilobhe lya kuntauka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, akaleshelelwa, wala nshilambolyo sha nnaino shino, wala shikwiyasho.Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33“Nkongo ubhaga gwa mmbone na iepo yakwe shiibhe ya mmbone, na nkongo ubhaga gwangali gwa mmbone na iepo yakwe shiibhe yangali ya mmbone, pabha nkongo pukumanyika kwa iepo yakwe.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Mmanganya nninginji malinga majoka! Nkukombolanga bhuli kubheleketa indu ya mmbone nninginji mmangali bha mmbonenji? Pabha mundu yabheleketa ingumbele muntima gwakwe.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Mundu jwa mmbone anatenda indu ya mmbone, pabha nshibhiko shakwe mushigumbala indu ya mmbone, ikabheje mundu jwa nyata ntima, anatenda indu ya nyata pabha ntima gwakwe ushigumbala indu ya nyata.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36“Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga, lyubha lya ukumu bhandu bhapinga kwiya jangulanga ga malobhe gowe gangali ga mmbone gubhabheleketenje.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Pabha kwa malobhe genu shinnjiye bhoneka kuti nkwete aki, na kwa malobhe genu shinng'ukumulwe.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Penepo Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhananji gubhaalugulilenje a Yeshu, “Mmaajiganya, tunapinga tushibhone shilangulo kopoka kwenu mmwe.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Nabhalabho gubhaajangwilenje, “Alu lubhelekolu lwa lebha na lukakulupalika kwa a Nnungu! Nnapinganga shilangulo, nkapegwanga ikabheje shilangulo sha a Yona ankulondola bha a Nnungu.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Shibhashite tama a Yona mobha gatatu shilo na mui nnipitiu lika shamaki, nneyo peyo Mwana juka Mundu shatame mobha gatatu nnitaka shilo na mui.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Bhandu bha ku Ninawi shibhakoposhelanje mobha ga ukumu, nabhalabhonji shibhaluukumulanje alu lubhelekolu kuti lushilebha, pabha bhandu bha ku Ninawi bhaipetilenje kwa ligongo lya miungu ja a Yona, na mbena apano apali ali nkulungwa kupunda a Yona.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

42A Malikiya bha kwibhanda shibhakoposhele alu lubhelekolu pushiluukumulwe, na bhalabho shibhaluukumule kuti lushilebha, pabha bhenebho bhashinkukopoka kwa taliya, nkupinga bhapilikane malobhe ga lunda ga a Shelemani, na mbena apano apali ali nkulungwa kupunda a Shelemani.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43“Lioka anshokaga mundu, anatimbililatimbilila nng'anga nkuloleya pa pumulila na anapabhone.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44Penepo anakwilugulila nnyene, ‘Shimuje kumui kungoposhele,’ ikabheje pabhuja nakupaimana pangali shindu, pali papyejilwe nikonjelewa,Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45shajende kwaatolanga ashimaoka bhananji shabha, bhajogoyanga kupunda jwenejo, na bhowe bhanakwiya kunjinjilanga mundujo. Na ali jika mundujo shijibhe jangali ja mmbone kupunda kundandubho. Na malinga shiipingabha kwa lubheleko lwa lebhalu.”Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46A Yeshu bhali nkubheleketa na bhandu bhabhagwinji, anyinabhabho na ashaapwabho gubhaikengene nijimangana palanga, bhalipinganga kubheleketa nabho.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Bhai, mundu jumo gwabhalugulile, “Anyinabhenu na ashaapwenu pubhalinginji palanga, bhanapinganga kubheleketa na mmwe.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaajangwile bhandu bhala, “A mama nne agani? Na ashapwanga nne ashigani?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Kungai gubhaagolosheyenje nkono kwaalanguyanga bhaajiganywa bhabho, bhalinkuti, “Nnole abha ashaamama na ashaapwanga!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Pabha jojowe atenda yakupinga Atati bhali kunnungu, jwenejo ni mpwanga nne na nnumbwangu nne na a mama nne.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
