Luka 9
1 Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile pamo ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, ŵapele machili ni ulamusi wa kugakoposya masoka gose ni kulamya ilwele.
Then He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases;
2 Ŵatumile ajaulangane kukwalalichila ŵandu Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwalamya ŵakulwala.
and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Ŵasalile, “Nkajigala chindu chachili chose mulendo atamuno ntindiso atamuno nsaku atamuno chakulya atamuno mbiya atamuno iwalo iŵili.
And He said to them: “Take nothing for the journey—neither staffs nor knapsack nor bread nor money, neither have two tunics apiece.
4 Nyuumba jajili jose jichinkajinjile ni kumpochela nlonjele pelepo, mpaka pachintyoche musi wo.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Ŵandu akanaga kumpochela, ntyochanje mu musi mo nombe ŵanyamwe pachintyoche nkung'unde luundu mmakongolo mwenu kulosya kuti achinsyene asagwile kuukana utenga wa Akunnungu.”
But as many as do not receive you, when you depart from that town, shake off even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 Nipele, ŵatandite ulendo, ŵapitaga msinda ni msinda ŵalalichilaga Ngani Jambone ni kwalamya ŵakulwala pali pose.
So they set out and went around, village by village, evangelizing and healing everywhere.
7 Ni chilongola che Helode ŵapilikene indu yose iyatendekwe ni ŵakanganiche pakuŵa ŵane ŵatiji, “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵala asyuchile!”
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 Nambo ŵane ŵatiji che Elia ŵala atyochele ni ŵane ŵatiji kuti jumo jwakwe jwa ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵakalakala asyuchile.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.
9 Nambo che Helode ŵatite, “Ŵele che Yohana wo ngati nakatile ntwe sambano ŵele ni ŵaani ungupilikana ngani syakwesi?” Nipele ŵansosaga kuti ŵawone.
But Herod said, “John I beheaded; so who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he started trying to see Him.
10 Achinduna ŵala paŵausile, ŵaŵalanjile Che Yesu yose yaitesile. Che Yesu ŵaajigele ŵanyawo, ŵajawile pajika mu musi waukuŵilanjikwa Besesaida.
When the Apostles returned they reported to Him all that they had done. Then He took them and withdrew privately to a deserted place belonging to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Nambo mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵaimanyi kuŵajawile, ŵakuiye. Nombe Che Yesu ŵapochele ni ŵaŵechete nawo ya umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwalamya ŵaŵasachile kulamwa.
But the crowds, being aware, followed Him. So He received them and started speaking to them about the Kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing.
12 Lyuŵa palyatandite kutiŵila, ŵakulijiganya kumi na mbili ŵala ŵanjaulile Che Yesu kukwasalila kuti, “Mwalanje ŵandu ajaulangane mu misi ni migunda jakuŵandichila akasose yakulya ni pagona, pakuŵa patuli pa pali pajika.”
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the surrounding villages and their farms, lodge and find food; because we are in a deserted place here.”
13 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe mwape ŵanyawo chindu chakulya.” Nipele ŵajanjile, “Nganitukola yakupunda nambo tukwete mikate nsano ni somba siŵili pe. Panepa tujaule tukaasumile yakulya mpingo wose wu?”
But He said to them, “You feed them!” So they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd”
14 Ŵandu uŵaliji pepala, ŵaliji achalume mpela elufu tano. Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Mwatamiche paasi mipingo ja ŵandu mpela hansinihansini.”
(there were about five thousand men). But He said to His disciples, “Make them recline in groups of fifty!”
15 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni ŵatamiche wose.
They did so, making them all recline.
16 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajigele mikate nsano jila ni somba siŵili sila ni ŵalolite kwinani ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ni kwipa upile ni kugaŵanya, ŵapele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti ŵapeleganye ŵandu.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 Ŵandu wose ŵalile ni kwikuta. Ŵalokotenye isigasi ya mbakatika ni kugumbasya itundu kumi na mbili.
So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the pieces they left were taken up.
18 Lyuŵa limo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkupopela jika pe ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji pachiŵandi. Nipele ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Ana ŵandu akuti une ndili ŵaani?”
Now it happened, as He was alone praying, that the disciples joined Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 Ŵajanjile, “Ŵane akuti mmwejo ni che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ni ŵane akuti che Elia ni ŵane akuti jumo jwao ŵakulondola ŵakalakala ŵa Akunnungu asyuchile.”
In answer they said, “John the Baptizer, but others say ‘Elijah,’ while others that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”
20 Pelepo ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Nombe ŵanyamwe nkutinji une ndili ŵaani?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Mmwejo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo chilanga chiŵalanjile Akunnungu.”
Then He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” In answer Peter said, “The Christ of God!”
21 Che Yesu ŵalamwile ŵanyawo ni kwakanya kuti akasala kwa mundu jwalijose jele ngani jo.
But He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Ŵapundile kuŵecheta kuti Mwana jwa Mundu akusachilwa kulaga nnope ni kukanikwa ni achachekulu ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ni kuulajikwa nambo lyuŵa lyaatatu lya chiwa chao chachisyuka.
saying, “The Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23 Nipele, ŵaasalile ŵandu wose kuti, “Mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuunguya akusachilwa alikane nsyene ni atwichile nsalaba wakwe moŵa gose ni kunguya.
Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.
24 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe chaujase ni jwalijose juchaujase umi wakwe ligongo lyangune, jwelejo chaukulupusye.
Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life for my sake, he will save it.
25 Ana mundu chapate chichi, aŵaga ni ipanje yose ya pachilambo kwa kulijasa natamuno kulijonanga nsyene?
Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self?
26 Pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jutachingolela soni une ni majiganyo gangu, Mwana jwa Mundu tachinkolela soni mundu jo pachachiika mu ukulu wakwe ni wa Atati ni wa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵaswela.
Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of the Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, apali ŵane mwa ŵanyaŵa ngaawa pangauwona Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God!”
28 Galiji moŵa nane paŵamasile kuŵecheta gelego, Che Yesu ŵaajigele che Petulo ni che Yohana ni che Yakobo, ŵakwesile nawo pa chitumbi kukupopela.
Now about eight days after these words, it happened that He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Paŵaliji nkupopela, kuloleka kwa ku meeso kwao kwagalawiche ni iwalo yao yaliji yeswela ni kung'alima nnope.
And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing dazzling white.
30 Papopo ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵaoneche aninkukunguluka nawo, nombe ŵandu wo ŵaliji che Elia ni che Musa,
And then, two men started talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah;
31 ŵaŵakopochele ali ni ukulu, uŵaŵechetaga nawo Che Yesu yankati ichiyaakopochele ku Yelusalemu ko kuti agumbalichisye yailembekwe nkati ŵelewo.
they appeared in glory and were explaining His ‘departure’, that He was about to bring to fruition in Jerusalem.
32 Che Petulo ni achinjakwe ŵatopelwe ni lugono, nambo paŵajimwiche, ŵauweni ukulu wa Che Yesu ni ŵandu ŵaŵili uŵajimi nawo.
Now Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.
33 Ŵandu ŵaŵili wo paŵaliji aninkulekangana ni Che Yesu, che Petulo ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje, ili yambone uwe kutama apano! Tutaŵe masakasa gatatu, limo lyenu ni limo li che Musa ni line li che Elia.” Nganaimanyililaga chaŵaŵechetaga cho.
Then it happened: as they were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here” and “Should we make three shelters: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”—not knowing what he was saying.
34 Che Petulo paŵaliji aninkuŵecheta yeleyo, liunde lyaichilile ni ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajogwepe pakuŵa liunde lyo lyaliji lininkwaichilila.
But as he was saying this a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they became afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 Lyakopochele liloŵe mwiunde mula, lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu junansagwile, mumpilikanichisye.”
And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
36 Palyamasile kupilikanika liloŵe lyo, Che Yesu ŵaoneche ali jika pe. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵamyalele ni nganansalila mundu jwalijose gele moŵa go yankati yele yose iŵaiweni yo.
When the Voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.)
37 Malaŵi jakwe Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵatatu ŵala paŵaliji aninkutuluka mwitumbi, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵaichilile.
Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him.
38 Mundu jumo mu mpingo mwa ŵandu mula ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, ngunchondelela munkolele chanasa mwanangu ju pakuŵa ali mwanangu jwa jika pe!
And then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.
39 Nnole lisoka lyakwe likusomoka ni chitema pe likuntenda agumile ni kuntaga njilinjili ni kunkopoka chiulo nkang'wa. Likupunda kunnagasya nnope ni ngalikunneka kwakwepepala.
And oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!
40 Nipele, nachondelele ŵakulijiganya ŵenu kuti akalityosye, nambo nganakombolanga.”
And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wangali chikulupi, ni ŵakusochela, chindame ni ŵanyamwe ni kumpililila mpaka chaka chi?” Nipele, Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Munjise nawo apano mwanagwenu jo.”
Then in answer Jesus said: “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you (pl)? Bring your (sg) son here!”
42 Katema jwele mwanache jo paŵaliji aninkwaichilila Che Yesu, lisoka lila lyangwisisye paasi ni kuntaga njilinjili. Nambo Che Yesu ŵalikalipile lisoka lila ni kunnamya mwanache ni kwauchisya atatigwe.
But while he was still coming the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
43 Ŵandu wose ŵasimosile nnope kugalola machili gamakulungwa ga Akunnungu. Ŵandu ŵala paŵaliji nkusimonga yankati yose yaitesile, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
Everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44 “Ngasinliŵalila chingusaka kuŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe chi, Mwana jwa Mundu chatagwe mmakono ga ŵandu.”
“Let these words sink into your ears, because the Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 Nambo ŵanyawo nganagamanyilila malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵaŵechete. Lyele lyaliji lyakusisika kwa ŵanyawo kuti anamanyichisye, nombe ŵanyawo ŵajogwepe kwausya malumbo ga maloŵe go.
But they did not understand this saying; indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Gatyochele makani kwa ŵakulijiganya ŵala gati ŵaani ŵaali ŵakulungwa kupunda achinjakwe.
Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest.
47 Nambo Che Yesu ŵasimanyilile nganisyo sisyaliji mmitima jao nipele ŵanjigele mwanache jwannandi ni ŵanjimiche chiŵandika nawo,
So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside Him,
48 ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwalijose jwakumpochela aju mwanache jwannandi ju kwa liina lyangu, jwelejo akumbochela une ni jwalijose jwakumbochela une, akumpochela jwelejo jwandumile une. Pakuŵa jwali jwannandi kupunda wose pasikati jenu, jwelejo ni jwali jwankulungwa.”
and said to them: “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will be great.”
49 Che Yohana ŵaŵechete kuti, “Ambuje, tummweni mundu jumo achikoposyaga masoka mu liina lyenu nombe uweji twalinjile kunnekasya ligongo jwelejo nganaŵa jumo jwetu.”
Then John reacted by saying, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Nkannekasya, pakuŵa jwalijose jwangankanila ŵanyamwe, jwelejo ali pamo ni ŵanyamwe.”
So Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, because he who is not against us is for us.”
51 Nipele, pagaŵandichile moŵa ga Che Yesu kujigalikwa kwinani ŵasachile kwaula ku Yelusalemu.
Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Ŵatumile ŵantenga ŵalongolele, nombewo ŵajawile ni kwinjila mu musi umo wa Ŵasamalia kukuŵika chile indu yose kwa ligongo lyao.
and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.
53 Nambo ŵandu ŵa wele musi wo ŵakanile kumpochela ligongo ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵasachile kwaula ku Yelusalemu.
But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54 Katema ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe paŵaiweni yeleyo, che Yohana ni che Yakobo ŵatite, “Ambuje, ana nkusaka tuŵilasye mooto kutyochela kwinani kuti wajonanje ŵanyaŵa?”
Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”
55 Nambo Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵanyawo ni kwakalipila.
But He turned and rebuked them saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.
56 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatyosile ni kwaula kunsinda wine.
Further, the Son of the Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save.” And they went to another village.
57 Paŵaliji mu ulendo, mundu jumpepe ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Chinankuye kwakulikose kuchinjaule.”
Now as they journeyed on the road, it happened that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Macheto gakwete masomwa ni ijuni ikwete isusi, nambo Mwana jwa Mundu nganakola pagona ni kupumulila.”
So Jesus said to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man has no place to lay His head.”
59 Nipele, ŵansalile mundu jwine kuti, “Munguye.” Nambo jwelejo ŵatite, “Ambuje, muuneche kaje nyaule ngaasiche atati ŵangu.”
Then He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Nambo Che Yesu ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, “Mwaleche ŵawe ŵaasiche ŵawe ŵao, nambo mmwejo njaule nkalalichile ngani ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
61 Ni mundu jwine ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje chinankuye, nambo muuneche kaje ngaalanje ŵaali kumusi kwangu ŵala.”
And another also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.”
62 Nambo Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwalijose jwakamwile lijela ni kotama kulima agalaukaga ni kulola panyuma, jwelejo ngakuŵajilwa mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to ‘the plow’ and looks back is suitable for the Kingdom of God.”
