Maliko 10
1 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pelepo, ŵajawile kuchilambo cha ku Yudea mpaka peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani. Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵajinji waajaulile sooni, nombejo ŵajiganyisye mpela iŵatite pakusyoŵelela.
Jesus left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and Transjordan. Once again people flocked to see him, and he was teaching them like he always did.
2 Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵane ŵajaulile ni kwalinga kwa kwawusya, “Ana Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakukunda kuti jwannume kwaleka ŵankwakwe?”
Some Pharisees came to see him. They tried to test him by asking the question, “Is divorce legal?”
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana che Musa ŵannajisye chichi?”
“What did Moses tell you to do?” he asked in reply.
4 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Che Musa ŵalajisye kuti, jwannume akukombola kumpa talaka ŵankwakwe ni kwaleka.”
“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send the woman away,” they replied.
5 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Che Musa ŵagalembile malajisyo go kwaligongo lya ungajiganyikwa wenu.
Then Jesus told them, “Moses only wrote down this rule for you because of your hard-hearted attitude.
6 Nambo che Musa ŵalembile, chitandile kupagwa kwa chilambo, Akunnungu ŵangumbile jwannume ni jwankongwe.
However, in the beginning, from creation, God made male and female.
7 Kwa ligongo lyo jwannume chachinleka atatigwe ni achikulugwe, nombejo chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe,
That's why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined in marriage to his wife,
8 ni ŵaŵili wo chachiŵa chiilu chimo. Sambano ngakuŵa ŵaŵili sooni, nambo chiilu chimo.
and the two become one body. They are no longer two but one.
9 Nipele, chalumbikenye Akunnungu, mundu ngasachilekanganya.”
Let no one separate what God has joined together.”
10 Paŵausile sooni mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵaausisye Che Yesu nkati majiganyo go.
When they were back indoors, the disciples began asking him about this.
11 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunleka ŵankwakwe ni kulombela jwankongwe jwine, akuntendela chikululu ŵankwakwe.
“Any man who divorces his wife and marries again commits adultery against her,” he told them.
12 Iyoyo, jwankongwe jwakunleka jwannume jwao ni kulombwa ni jwannume jwine, akuntendela chikululu jwannume jwao.”
“And if the wife divorces her husband and marries again she commits adultery.”
13 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi ŵasajichile makono gao, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaakalipile ŵandu wo.
Some people brought their children to Jesus so that he could bless them, but the disciples told them off and tried to keep the children away from Jesus.
14 Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, yachimile ni ŵaasalile, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, kasimwalekasya, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela ŵeleŵa.
But when Jesus saw what they were doing, he became very upset and told them, “Let the children come to me! Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela ŵanache achanandi ngaajinjila mwelemo ng'oo.”
I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a child won't enter it.”
16 Nipele, ŵajangete ŵanache ni kwasajichila makono ni kwapa upile.
He hugged the children, placed his hands on them, and blessed them.
17 Che Yesu paŵatandite sooni ulendo wao, mundu jumo ŵambutuchile ni kwatindiŵalila ni ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya jwambone, ana ndende chichi pakuti mbochele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus set out on his journey, a man came running over and kneeled down before him. “Good teacher, what should I do to make sure I have eternal life?” he asked. (aiōnios g166)
18 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ligongo chi nkuumilanga jwambone? Ngapagwa mundu jwaali jwambone ikaŵe Akunnungu jika pe.
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good, only God.
19 Ntakugamanyilila makanyo gagakuti, ‘Kasimmulaga ni Kasintenda chikululu ni Kasinjiŵa ni Kasinsala ya unami ni Kasimunnambuchisya njenu, ni Mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
You know the commandments: you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not cheat, honor your father and mother…”
20 Mundu jula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, makanyo gose go nagakamulichisye chitandilile ku uwanache wangu.”
“Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was small.”
21 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye kwa kwanonyela, ŵansalile, “Chinsoŵile chindu chimo. Njaule nkasumisye yose inkwete, ni mbiya syo nkaape ŵakulaga, nombe mmwe chinkole chipanje kwinani kwa Akunnungu. Nipele nnyiche munguye.”
Jesus looked at him with love and said, “You're only missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”
22 Mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵapwele ntima ni ŵajawile achipukunyaga ntwe, pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji ni nganasaka kwapa ŵane ipanje yao.
At this, the man's face fell, and he left feeling very sad, for he was very wealthy.
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalolite kosekose, ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Chiilimbe kwannope kwa ŵandu ŵaipanje kwalechelela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!”
Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “It's only with difficulty that wealthy people enter the kingdom of God!”
24 Ŵakulijiganya ŵagasimosile maloŵe gao, nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Achiŵanangu, chiilimbe kwannope kwa ŵandu kwalechelela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!
The disciples were shocked at this. But Jesus went on, “My friends, it is difficult to enter God's kingdom.
25 Chiiŵe yakulimba kuchitenda chinyama chachikuŵilanjikwa ngamia, kupeleta pa chipowo cha sindano. Iyoyo peyo, ikuloleka kuti, chiiŵe yakulimba kwannope kwa mundu jwachipanje kwalechela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!”
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter God's kingdom.”
26 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasimosile nnope, ŵaliusisye, “Ana sambano nduni juchakombole kulupuswa?”
The disciples were even more confused. “Then who on earth can be saved?” they asked one another.
27 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye ni kwasalila, “Kwa ŵandu ngaikukomboleka, nambo ngaŵa yeleyo kwa Akunnungu, pakuŵa kwa Akunnungu yanayose ikukomboleka.”
Looking right at them, Jesus replied, “From a human point of view, it's impossible—but not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole! Ni uweji tulesile indu yose ni kunkuya mmwe!”
Peter spoke up, “We've left everything to follow you…”
29 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwajilesile nyuumba jakwe pane achapwakwe pane achalumbugwe pane achikulugwe pane atatigwe pane achiŵanagwe pane migunda, kwa ligongo lyangu une ni kwa ligongo lya Ngani Jambone,
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “anyone who has left behind their home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands because of me, and for the sake of the good news,
31 Nambo achajinji ŵakuliganichisya kuti ali achakulu sambano, chatuluswe ni ŵandu ŵakulitulusya sambano, chachiŵa achakulu.”
However, many of the first will be last, and the last first.”
32 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji nkukwesya kwaula ku Yelusalemu nombe Che Yesu ŵalongolele. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasimosile, ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya wose ŵajogwepe. Che Yesu ŵaajigele sooni ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili pachisyepela, ni kwasalila indu ichiyakopochele.
They continued on their way to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking on ahead. The disciples were apprehensive and the other followers were afraid. So Jesus took the disciples aside and began to explain to them what was about to happen to him.
33 Ŵaasalile, “Mpilikane, tukukwesya kwaula ku Yelusalemu, ni kweleko Mwana jwa Mundu chajaule kukutyosyekwa kwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo. Ni ŵanyawo chanlamulile chiwa ni kwataga mmakono ga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
“We're going to Jerusalem,” he told them, “and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and religious teachers. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the foreigners.
34 Nombe chaachintendela chanache ni chaachinsunila mata ni chaachimputa mbokola ni kumbulaga. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chasyuche.”
They will mock him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. But three days later he will rise again.”
35 Nipele che Yakobo ni che Yohana ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo, ŵajawile ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Jwakwiganya, tukusaka ntupanganyichisye chindu chachitummende.”
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to see him. “Teacher,” they said, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye chichi?”
“So what do you want me to do for you?” Jesus replied.
37 Ni ŵajanjile, “Pachintawale mu ukulu wenu, tukummenda tutame jumo kundyo ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
“When you're victorious and sit on your throne, make sure we sit beside you, one on the right, the other on the left,” they told him.
38 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngankuchimanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chingung'welela une pane kubatiswa mu ubatiso ungubatiswa une?”
“You don't know what you're asking,” replied Jesus. “Can you drink the cup I drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism of pain I will suffer?”
39 Ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene chinng'welele chikombe chingung'welela une ni kubatiswa ubatiso ungubatiswa une.
“Yes, we can,” they replied. “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the same baptism as me,” Jesus told them.
40 Ni kwa aŵala ŵachatame kundyo pane kunchiji kwangu, ngaŵa masengo gangu. Nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵaasagwile.”
“But it's not for me to grant who should sit on my right or on my left. These places are reserved for those for whom they have been prepared.”
41 Ŵele ŵakulijiganya likumi paŵapilikene chechila chiŵaŵendile che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵaatumbilile.
When the other ten disciples heard about this, they started getting upset with James and John.
42 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya wo ni ŵaasalile, “Nkumanyilila kuti ŵandu ŵakuganichikwa ali ilongola wa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, akwalongosya ŵandu ŵao kwa machili. Ni ŵele ilongola wo akwete ulamusi waukulungwa pachanya ŵandu ŵao.
Jesus called the disciples together and told them, “You realize that those who claim to rule over nations oppress their people. The rulers act like tyrants.
43 Nambo ikaaŵa yeleyo kwa ŵanyamwe, sooni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu pasikati jenu, aŵeje katumetume jwa wose.
But for you it's not like this. Anyone of you who wants to be a ruler must be your servant,
44 Nombe jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu kupunda wose aŵeje kapolo jwa wose.
and anyone who wants to be first among you must be the slave of all of you.
45 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kukutumichilwa, nambo aiche kukutumichila ni kuutyosya umi wao kwa kwawombola ŵandu ŵajinji.”
For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
46 Nipele, ŵaiche ku Yeliko. Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao pamo ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu paŵaliji nkutyoka mu musi wo, mundu jumo juŵaliji ngakulola, liina lyakwe che Batimayo mwanagwe che Timayo, ŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
Jesus and his disciples passed through Jericho, and as they were leaving town, accompanied by a large crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.
47 Paŵapilikene kuti ali Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti ŵaliji nkupita pelepo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya achitiji, “Che Yesu, Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
When he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth, he started shouting out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
48 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo jwelejo ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
Lots of people told him to be quiet, but that only made him shout even more, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
49 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵatite, “Mwaŵilanje.” Nipele, ŵammilasile mundu jwangalola jula, ŵansalile, “Nkamulisye ntima! Njimuche, akummilanga.”
Jesus stopped, and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called him over, telling him, “Good news! Get up. He's calling for you.”
50 Nombejo ŵaponyisye kwakutalichila mwinjilo wakwe, ŵagulwiche, ni ŵajaulile Che Yesu.
Bartimaeus jumped up, threw off his coat, and rushed over to Jesus.
51 Che Yesu ŵammusisye jwelejo, “Nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Jwangalola jo ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, ngusaka mbate kulola.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. “Teacher,” he said to Jesus, “I want to see!”
52 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Papopo mundu jo ŵatandite kulola, nipele ŵalongene nawo Che Yesu.
“You can go. Your trust in me has healed you.” Immediately Bartimaeus could see and he followed Jesus as he went on his way.
