MATEUS 10 - Oshikwanyama Bible (OKYB)

1. Growth

1 Corinthians 3:1-3
“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it…”

Similar to how babies rely on their mother’s milk to grow, you also require the nourishment of God’s Word to mature and flourish spiritually. As believers of God, your primary need is spiritual nourishment. Just like pure milk, God’s Word serves as your spiritual food that enables us to thrive.

By being nourished, you grow as the life of God increases within you. Jesus, as a man on earth, lived his life this way, serving as an excellent model for you to follow. Your hunger can only be satisfied when you live not only on physical food, but also on God’s Word. This is how you can find satisfaction and strength to continue living the Christian life.

2. Guidance

Isaiah 30:20 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Did you know that the Bible acts as a treasure trove of wisdom if you are seeking guidance in life. It’s a powerhouse of insights and knowledge that can help you navigate life’s twists and turns, make better choices, and grow towards spiritual and emotional maturity. The Bible also helps us to grow in resilience and in our actions.

3. To hear God’s voice

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Effective communication is important in any relationship, and God is the conductor of life’s symphony. The Bible acts as a portal for you to hear God’s voice with clarity and wisdom, leading to discernment and righteous actions that glorify Christ.

4. Because its eternal

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”

The promises in the Bible stay with you forever as you read the Bible each day. Unlike worldly things that eventually fade, the teachings rooted in Christ endure. By reading the Bible, you discover what is eternal and can apply these principles to your daily lives on earth so that you can live with an eternal perspective in the here and now.

5. It keeps you from sin

Psalms 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Having a strong foundation in God’s Word is essential for living a Christian life, shaping you into the image of Christ, renewing your minds, and keeping you from sin. Reading, studying, and memorizing the Bible helps you gain an understanding of God, Jesus’ teachings, and how to live a faithful life and to stay on the right track.

Jesus ta tumu ovalongwa vaye omulongo navavali

(Mark. 3:13-19Mark. 6:7-13Luk. 6:13-16Luk. 9:1-6Luk. 12:2-7Luk. 12:8-9)

1 Ndele opo Ye okwa ifana ovalongwa vaye omulongo navavali, ndele okwe va pa epangelo lokutaataa mo eemhepo da nyata nolokuvelula oudu aushe noungone keshe, 2 ndele omadina ovayapostoli omulongo navavali oyaa: wotete oSimon, a ifanwa Petrus, naAndreas, ondenge yaye, naJakob yaSebedeus naJohannes, ondenge yaye; 3 Filippus naBartolomeus, Tomas naMateus, omufendelifi; Jakob yaAlfeus, naLebbeus, edina laye limwe Tadeus; 4 Simon omuladi naJudas Iskariot, oye tuu ou e mu kengelela.

5 Ovava omulongo navavali Jesus e va tuma ko, nokwe va lombwela ndele ta ti: “Inamu ya nondjila tai i kovapaani, nande omoshilando shimwe shOvasamaria inamu ya mo, 6 ndele indeni tete keedi odo da kana domeumbo laIsrael. 7 Ndele keshe apa tamu ende, va lombweleni mu tye: ouhamba weulu wa ehena popepi. 8 Veluleni ovanaudu, nyumuneni ovafi, yelifeni ovanashilundu, teni mo eendemoni. Onye mwa tambula oshali, yandjeni yo oshali. 9 Inamu lilongelela momakwamo eni oingoldo noisiliveli ile ongopolo, 10 hakutu lokweenda nalo, haikutu ivali, haenghaku ile odibo; osheshi omulongi a wana okupewa oipalwifa yaye. 11 Ndele mukeshe moshilando ile momukunda tamu fiki mo, puleni, olyelye a wana, nye mu kale meumbo laye, fiyo tamu ka ehena komesho. 12 Ndele ngeenge tamu i meumbo, likundeni nombili. 13 Ndele eumbo olo ngeenge la wana, ombili yeni nai kale mo; ndele ngeenge inali wana, ombili yeni nai shune kunye. 14 Ndele ngeenge itamu tambulwa mo neendjovo deni itadi pwilikinwa, djeni mo meumbo olo ile moshilando osho, nye mu pupule ondwi keemhadi deni. 15 Oshili handi mu lombwele: edu laSodom nolaGomorra otali kala lixwepo, li dule oshilando osho efiku letokolo.

16 “Tala, Ame ohandi mu tumu ngaashi eedi mokati komambungu; kaleni hano mwa lungama ngaashi omayoka nongaashi eenghuti muhe na oshipo. 17 Ndelenee lungameni ovanhu, osheshi otave mu yandje koiongalele yovatokoli ndele tave mu dengele meeshinagoga davo; 18 ndele tamu twalwa komalenga nokeehamba omolwange, shi va ningile ondobwedi, moipafi yavo noyovapaani. 19 Ndelenee ngeenge tave mu yandje kovatokoli, inamu kala noshisho mu tye ngahelipi ile mu popye shike, osheshi onye tamu pewa efimbo tuu olo odo mu noku di popya. 20 Osheshi hanye tamu popi, ndele omhepo yaXo tai popi munye.

21 “Ndelenee omumwaxe ta yandje omumwaxe mokufya, naxe omona waye, nounona otava ka twa ondubo novakulunhu vavo, ndele tave va dipaifa. 22 Ndele edina lange otamu ke li tondelwa kwaaveshe; ndele ou te lididimike fiyo okexulilo, oye ta xupifwa. 23 Ndele ngeenge tave mu taataa moshilando shimwe, tembukileni kushikwao; osheshi oshili handi mu lombwele: onye itamu mane okweenda oilando aishe yaIsrael fiyo Omona wOmunhu te uya.

24 “Omulongwa ke dule omulongi waye, nomupiya ke dule omwene waye. 25 Osha wanena omulongwa, ngeenge ta ningwa ngaashi omulongi waye, nomupiya ngeenge ta ningwa ngaashi omwene waye. Mwene weumbo ngeenge ve mu ifana Belsebul, hano unene tuu ovaneumbo vaye osho tave va ifana.

26 “Hano inamu va tila. Osheshi kaku na osho sha tuvikilwa itashi ka tuvikululwa, ndele kaku na osho sha holekwa itashi ka shiivika. 27 Keshe tuu eshi handi shi mu lombwele momilaulu, shi hepaululeni pouyelele. Ndele eshi tamu shi udu okunongofwelwa momatwi, shi hepaululeni kombada yeenduda. 28 Ndele inamu tila ava tava dipaa olutu, vo itava dulu okudipaa omwenyo; ndele tileni shili ou ta dulu okunyonaunina moheli omwenyo nolutu. 29 Oonamusheshe vavali ihava landwa ngeno okapeni kamwe akeke? Ndele kaku na nande umwe ta wile poshi, oXo ngeenge ina hala. 30 Ndele osho eexwiki deni adishe dokomutwe oda valwa yo. 31 Hano inamu tila; onye mu dule oonamusheshe vahapu.

32 “Opo nee keshe tuu ou ta hepaulula nge povanhu, naame ohandi mu hepaulula puTate meulu. 33 Ndele ou te lidimbike nge povanhu, naame ohandi mu lidimbike puTate meulu.

34 “Inamu tya, Ame onde uya ndi ete ombili kombada yedu, inandi uya okweeta ombili, ndelenee eongamukonda. 35 Osheshi Ame nde uya okweeta ondubo pokati komumati naxe, nokakadona naina, noshitenya omukainhu nainamweno. 36 Ndele novaneumbo vomunhu mwene otava ningi ovatondi vaye.

37 “Keshe ou e hole xe ile ina komesho yange, oye ina wapalela nge; nakeshe tuu ou e hole omona waye omumati ile okakadona komesho yange, oye ina wapalela nge; 38 ndele keshe ou ita kufa omushiyakano waye ye ita shikula nge, oye ina wapalela nge. 39 Oye ou te limonene omwenyo waye, oye te u kanifa, naau ta kanifile nge omwenyo waye, oye te u limonene.

40 “Ndele ou te mu tambula, oye ta tambula nge, naau ta tambula nge, oye ta tambula ou a tuma nge. 41 Ou ta tambula omuxunganeki omolwedina lomuxunganeki, oye ta pewa ondjabi yomuxunganeki; naau ta tambula omuyuki omolwedina lomuyuki, oye ta pewa ondjabi yomuyuki. 42 Nakeshe ou ta nwefa umwe waava vaxupi eholo lomeva omolwedina lomulongwa, oshili handi mu lombwele: Oye ita ka kanifa ondjabi yaye.”
