Matthew 12 (ZAJ)

1Kipigiti kija Yesu kakala yobita mmigunda ya ngano Mdizua da Mhumulo. Wanahina zake wona nzala, avo wasonga kufyola zisota za gamakungwi ga ngano na kudafuna.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.

2Mafalisayo viwawawene, wamulongela Yesu, “Lola, wanahina zako wotenda gagomeswe kutendigwa Mdizua da Mhumulo!”When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Yesu kawedika, “Hamsomile kija chayatendile Daudi kipigiti heyo na wayage viwakalile na nzala?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Kengila mdihema da Mulungu, na heyo na wayage waija imikate ilavigwe nhosa, mbuli igomeswe na Malagizo ga Musa heyo ama wayage kuija, ila wakulu wa nhambiko weiyeka.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.

5Ama, hamsomile muna Gamalagizo ga Musa kamba wakulu wa nhambiko wotenda mbuli zigomesigwe kutendigwa Mdizua da Mhumulo muna Ing'anda ya Mulungu, na hawoneka na Mulungu kamba wotenda mbuli ihile?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Nowalongela, hano hana mkulu kubanza Ng'anda ya Mulungu.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Ila kamba muhaitangile nhegulo ya ulonzi uno, ulonga, ‘Nolonda bazi na sio nhosa,’ sambimuwataguse wanhu walibule vilozo.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Kwavija, nie, Mwana wa Munhu, nene Mndewa hata Mdizua da Mhumulo.”For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Yesu kahalawa hanhu haja, kengila muna ing'anda yao ya nhambiko,Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10na muja kukala na munhu yaholole mkono. Kuno wozahila kilamso cha kumtagusa, wamuuza, “Malagizo ga Musa gotogoza kumuhonya munhu Mdizua da Mhumulo?”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?”

11Yesu kawalongela, “Munhu yalihi mmwanza wenu yali na ng'hondolo imwe yengile mdikolongo Mdizua da Mhumulo, yondayaleke kumgoga na kumulava hanze?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?

12Munhu kazama mianza mingahi kubanza ng'hondolo! Avo, Malagizo ga Musa gotogoza kutenda ganogile Mdizua da Mhumulo.”How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Abaho, kamulongela ija imunhu yaholole umkono, “Golosa mkono wako.” Avo kaugolosa, na uwa mgima, kamba uja uyagwe.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.

14Ila, Mafalisayo walawa kunze na kwika zundo wone vija vondawamkome Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Yesu viyavitangile kamba wamwikila zundo da kumkoma, kahalawa hanhu haja, na wanhu bwando wamkweleleza. Na heyo kawahonya wanhu wose wakalile watamu,Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16na kuwalagiza sambiwamulonge heyo iyo yalihi.warning them not to make Him known.

17Mbuli zino zivikiza kija kilongigwe na muhokozi Isaya,This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18“Ino iyo mtumigwa wangu inimsagule, inimnogele, moyo wangu unogelwa nayo. Nomgwelela Loho wangu, na heyo koipeta nhaguso yangu ha Wamhazi.“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.

19Hagomba na munhu ama kuguta nyangi, haduhu munhu yondayadihulike dizwi jake mzinzila za m'viwambo.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Halubena ludete luveduke, ama kuuzima utambi ulava yosi. Mbaka vondayagatende gaja galibule uzenzeleganye gahume,A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21na Wamhazi woditamanila twaga jake.”In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Abaho, wamgalila munhu yali na kinyamkela yakalile kimbugumbugu na bubui, na Yesu kamuwinga ikinyamkela, avo ija imunhu kadaha kulonga na kulola.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.

23Wanhu wose wakanganya na kulonga, “Vodahika ino kuwa Kilisto, Mwana wa Daudi?”The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Mafalisayo viwahulike vino, walonga, “Munhu ino kowinga vinyamkela na udaho wa Belizebuli tu, mkulu wa vinyamkela.”But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Yesu kazitanga ngelegeza zao, kawalongela, “Undewa wowose uhaigola mmadalemadale, gogomba genyego kwa genyego, undewa hiwo haugendelela. Na wambo jojose ama mulango uhaigola mmadalemadale, gogomba genyego kwa genyego, mulango hiwo hawima.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.

26Ihawa Mwenembago kowinga vinyamkela, kokiigola mwenyego, avo, undewa wake wodahaze kwima?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Na kamba nowinga vinyamkela na udaho wa Belizebuli, wanhu zenu wowinga vinyamkela na udaho waki? Avo, hewo wao wondawawataguse!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28Ila kamba nowinga vinyamkela na Loho wa Mulungu, avo, Undewa wa Mulungu uwezila.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29“Ama kodahaze munhu kwingila muna ing'anda ya munhu yali na mhiko na kum'bokonya vinhu vake, kamba hamfungile tanhu, leka yadahe kum'bokonya vinhu vili mng'anda yake?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“Munhu yoyose yalekile kuwa hamoja na nie, konibeza, na munhu yoyose yalekile kukunzanya na nie, kopwililisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Nowalongela, vilozo vose na ufukuzi wose wogeligwa kumgongo, ila ufukuzi wa kumfukulila Loho wa Mulungu haugeligwa kumgongo.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Munhu yoyose yonilonga vihile nie, Mwana wa Munhu, vodahika kugeligwa kumgongo, ila munhu yoyose yomulonga vihile Loho wa Mulungu havidahika kugeligwa kumgongo, muulumwengu uno ama kuulumwengu ukwiza.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“M'biki uhanoga na mujo wake wonoga, na m'biki uheha vivija na mujo wake wokwiha. Kwavija m'biki wotangigwa sama ya mujo wake.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.

34Mweye wana wa nyoka! Modahaze kulonga kinhu kinogile na ihawa mweye wenyego mwiha? Kwavija munhu kolonga gaja gaumemeze moyo wake.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Munhu yanogile kolava ganogile kulawa muna ingama ya moyo wake unogile, na munhu yehile kolava gehile kulawa muna ingama ya moyo wake wihile.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“Nowalongela kamba, mdizua da nhaguso wanhu wolava mheta ya kila mbuli ihile iwailongile.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Kwavija kubitila mbuli zako kopeteligwa ganogile, na kubitila mbuli zako kotagusigwa.”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Abaho, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo wamulongela, “Mkulufunzi, tolonda tone mizonza kulawa kumwako.”Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Yesu kedika kalonga, “Wanhu wa mulelo wihile na uleka kumtamanila Mulungu wolonda kilaguso! Ila hawagweleligwa kilaguso, ila kilaguso cha muhokozi Yona.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Kamba vija Yona viyakalile muna iinda ya isomba mkulu ng'hani mazua madatu, vivija nie, Mwana wa Munhu, nokala muna umoyo wa iisi mazua madatu.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.

41Mdizua da nhaguso wanhu wa Ninawi wokwima na wanhu wa mulelo uno na kuwatagusa mweye, kwavija hewo waleka vilozo vao viwamuhulike Yona viyakalile yopeta. Na hano hana mkulu kubanza 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.

42Mdizua da nhaguso Malikia wa Kusi kokwima na wanhu wa mulelo uno na kuwatagusa mweye, kwavija heyo keza kulawa kuzisota za iisi giladi yategeleze ng'hungwe ya Selemani. Na hano hana mkulu kubanza Selemani!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“Kinyamkela yahamulawa munhu, kochola kubitila hanhu hanyalile yozahila hanhu ha kuhumula, ila hahapata.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44Abaho, kolonga, ‘Nobweleganya kung'anda yangu kunilawile.’ Yahabwela na kuivika ing'anda yabule kinhu, ifagiligwa, na kuhambigwa,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.

45kochola kuwasola vinyamkela wayagwe saba wehile kubanza heyo mwenyego, wokwingila na kukala himo. Na hali ya munhu hiyo yokwiha ng'hani kubanza ija ya haichanduso. Vino vivo vondaiwe ha wanhu wa mulelo uno wihile.”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.”

46Yesu viyakalile yang'hali yolonga na dale da wanhu, mamaake na ndugu zake wema hanze, walonda kulonga nayo.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Munhu imwe kamulongela, “Mamaako na ndugu zako wema hanze, wolonda kulonga nagwe.”Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Yesu kamwidika ija imunhu yamulongele, “Mamaangu iyo yalihi? Na ndugu zangu wawo walihi?”But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Kuno yowalinga kidole wanahina zake kalonga, “Wano wao mamaangu na ndugu zangu!Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Kwavija munhu yoyose yogatenda goyolonda Tataangu wa kuulanga iyo ndugu yangu, lumbu jangu na mamaangu.”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
