Matthew 15 (MWE)

1Kungai Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha Shalia gubhaikengenenje koposhela ku Yelushalemu, gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, nikwaabhuya,Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2“Pakuti bhaajiganywa bhenu bhakakamulanga ikubho itujigenywe na bhanangulungwa bhetu? Bhakaanabhanga makono ukoto pa shalya.”“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

3A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Pakuti numbe mmanganyanji nnalekanga Shalia ja a Nnungu, nikagulila ikubho yenunji?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4A Nnungu bhaashite, ‘Gwaajogope ainago na akwenu, pabha ishijandikwa, akwaatukana ainagwe eu akwabhe, abhulagwe.’For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5Ikabheje mmanganya nnajiganyanga kuti mundu abhaga na shindu shakwaapa ainagwe eu akwabhe, ikabheje ashibheleketa, ‘Shene shindushi njikwaapa a Nnungu,’But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’

6bhai, akapinjikwa kabhili kwaajogopa ainagwe nikwaapa! Nnei shinkuti kulinyegeyanga lilobhe lya a Nnungu nkukagula ikubho yenunji.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7Mmanganya mmagulumba! A Ishaya bhalondwele ukoto genu mmanganya.”You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:

8A Nnungu bhanabheleketa, “ ‘Bhene bhandunjibha bhananyogopanga kwa malobhepe, Ikabheje mitima jabhonji jishitalikangana na nne.‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

9Kundindibhalila kwabhonji kwayoyo, Pabha majiganyo gabhonji ni malajilo ga shigundupe.’ ”They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

10A Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mpilikananje, na mmumanyanje!Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11Shindu shalya mundu shikakuntenda mundu anyate, ikabhe malobhe gakopoka nkang'wa, ni gakuntenda mundu anyate.”A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

12Kungai bhaajiganywa gubhaajendelenje, nikwaabhuya, “Bhuli, mmumanyi kuti Mapalishayo bhashinkutumbalanga bhakapilikananjeje malobhe genu?”Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Litepo lyolyowe lyangapandwa na Atati bha kunnungu, lipingatutumbulwa.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14Mwaalekanje bhanganyabho, ashikalongolele nangalole. Nangalole annongoyaga nangalole mwine, bhowe bhanaabhili shibhatumbushilanje nniimbo.”Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

15A Petili gubhashite, “Nntulugulile ukoto ga lutango.”Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16A Yeshu gubhashite, “Nkali mmanganya mpaka nnaino nkanabhe kumumanyanga?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17Bhuli, nkakumumanyanga kuti shoshowe shijinjila nkang'wa shinakwenda nnipitiu na kungai shinaepukwa kulilindi?“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

18Ikabheje malobhe gakopoka nkang'wa mugakoposhele muntima, na genego ni gakuntenda mundu anyate.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

19Pabha muntima inakoposhela ng'aniyo ya nyata, kubhulaga na labhalabha na gwii na kong'ondela unami na matukano.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

20Genego ni gakuntenda mundu anyate. Ikabheje kulya shalya gwangali nabha makono kukakuntenda mundu anyate.”These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

21A Yeshu gubhajabhwile pepala gubhapite tama mmbali ja ku Tilo na ku Shidoni.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22Bhai, bhakongwe bhamo Bhakanaani bha shene shilambosho gubhaaishile, gubhautiye lilobhe bhalinkuti, “Mmakulungwa, Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi, mmonele shiya! Mwali jwangu analaga kaje lioka.”And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”

23Ikabheje a Yeshu bhangaajangula. Bhai, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaajendelenje, nikwaabhalanjila, “Mwaalugulile bhajabhule, pabha bhanakutukagula bhalijobhela.”But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Nangatumwa ikabhe kubhandu bha ku Ishilaeli bhalinginji malinga ngondolo iobhile.”He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25Penepo bhakongwe bhala gubhaatindibhalile, bhalinkuti, “Mmakulungwa, nnjiye kunnyangutile.”The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Nngabha mmbone tola shalya sha bhana nikwiijaila mbwa.”But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27Bhakongwe bhala gubhashite, “Kweli, Mmakulungwa, ikabheje nkali mbwa inalya malepeyo gagwa pa mesha ya ashinangologwe.”“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Penepo a Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Mama, ngulupai jenu jikulungwa, bhai, ntendelwe malinga shinkupinga.” Lioka jula akunshokaga mwali jula, nigwalamile malanga gala.“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

29A Yeshu gubhashoshile pepala gubhapite nnyenje litanda lya Galilaya, gubhajombweshe ku shitumbi, nigubhatemi.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaaishilenje bhalikwaapeleshelanga bhalemelenje na ashinangalole na ashinangwabha na bhubhu na bhalwelenji bhabhagwinji, gubhaabhishilenje mmujo jabho, nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalamiyenje.Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.

31Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lula lwashinkulapa bhakaabhonanjeje ashibhubhu bhalibheleketanga, bhalemelenje bhalamilenje, ashinangwabha bhalijimajimanga, na ashinangalole bhalilolanga, bhandu gubhaainiyenje a Nnungu bha Ishilaeli.The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

32Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhashite, “Ngunakwaabhonelanga shiya bhandunjibha, pabha bhashitamangana na nne mobha gatatu, nnaino bhangalinginji shalya. Ngapinga kwaalekanga bhajabhulangane gwangali kulya shalya, bhanaondokanga mumpanda.”Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”

33Bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaalugulilenje, “Putulipano paanga, shitupate kwei shalya sha jukuta bhandu bhabhagwinji nnei?”The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

34A Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Mikate jilingwa jinkwetenje?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Shabha na yamaki ishokope.”“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaamulishenje bhandu bhatamangane pai.And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.

36Gubhatolile mikate shabha jila na yamaki ila, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu, gubhagebhenye, gubhaapelenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, na bhalabhonji gubhaagabhanishiyenje bhandunji.Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

37Bhowe gubhalilenje nijukuta. Kungai gubhakundikenyenje malepei, gubhagumbeyenje ikapu shabha yaikulungwa.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

38Bhalilenjebho pubhalinginji bhanabhalume elupu nsheshe, gwangali kubhalanganishiya bhanabhakongwe na bhana.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

39Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalajilenje bhandunji, gubhakwelile muntumbwi, gubhapite mmbali ja ku Magadani.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
