< 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.
On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵane ŵajaulile ni kwalinga kwa kwawusya, “Ana Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakukunda kuti jwannume kwaleka ŵankwakwe?”
Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana che Musa ŵannajisye chichi?”
"What did Moses command you?" he replied,
4 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Che Musa ŵalajisye kuti, jwannume akukombola kumpa talaka ŵankwakwe ni kwaleka.”
"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."
5 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Che Musa ŵagalembile malajisyo go kwaligongo lya ungajiganyikwa wenu.
But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;
6 Nambo che Musa ŵalembile, chitandile kupagwa kwa chilambo, Akunnungu ŵangumbile jwannume ni jwankongwe.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 Kwa ligongo lyo jwannume chachinleka atatigwe ni achikulugwe, nombejo chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe,
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;
8 ni ŵaŵili wo chachiŵa chiilu chimo. Sambano ngakuŵa ŵaŵili sooni, nambo chiilu chimo.
so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 Nipele, chalumbikenye Akunnungu, mundu ngasachilekanganya.”
What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
10 Paŵausile sooni mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵaausisye Che Yesu nkati majiganyo go.
When indoors the disciples began to question Jesus again about this, and he said.
11 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunleka ŵankwakwe ni kulombela jwankongwe jwine, akuntendela chikululu ŵankwakwe.
"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12 Iyoyo, jwankongwe jwakunleka jwannume jwao ni kulombwa ni jwannume jwine, akuntendela chikululu jwannume jwao.”
and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
13 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi ŵasajichile makono gao, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaakalipile ŵandu wo.
Now people were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, yachimile ni ŵaasalile, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, kasimwalekasya, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela ŵeleŵa.
Jesus was indignant when he saw it, and said. "Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such.
15 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela ŵanache achanandi ngaajinjila mwelemo ng'oo.”
I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."
16 Nipele, ŵajangete ŵanache ni kwasajichila makono ni kwapa upile.
Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.
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 he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
18 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ligongo chi nkuumilanga jwambone? Ngapagwa mundu jwaali jwambone ikaŵe Akunnungu jika pe.
Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good save one, God himself.
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. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."
20 Mundu jula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, makanyo gose go nagakamulichisye chitandilile ku uwanache wangu.”
"Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."
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 loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 Mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵapwele ntima ni ŵajawile achipukunyaga ntwe, pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji ni nganasaka kwapa ŵane ipanje yao.
But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalolite kosekose, ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Chiilimbe kwannope kwa ŵandu ŵaipanje kwalechelela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!”
Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into 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 amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.
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!”
"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
26 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasimosile nnope, ŵaliusisye, “Ana sambano nduni juchakombole kulupuswa?”
"Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.
27 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye ni kwasalila, “Kwa ŵandu ngaikukomboleka, nambo ngaŵa yeleyo kwa Akunnungu, pakuŵa kwa Akunnungu yanayose ikukomboleka.”
When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole! Ni uweji tulesile indu yose ni kunkuya mmwe!”
"But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed 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 solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s,
30 mundu jo chapochele mbwee katema kakaka. Chapochele nyuumba syasijinji ni achalongo ni achalumbu ni achaŵelesi ni ŵanache ni migunda pamo ni masauko. Nambo mchilambo chachikwika, chapochele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but shall receive a hundred times as much, now in this present world, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands-and persecutions with them - and in the world to come eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Nambo achajinji ŵakuliganichisya kuti ali achakulu sambano, chatuluswe ni ŵandu ŵakulitulusya sambano, chachiŵa achakulu.”
But many who are first shall 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 were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall 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.
"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34 Nombe chaachintendela chanache ni chaachinsunila mata ni chaachimputa mbokola ni kumbulaga. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chasyuche.”
who will mock him, spit upon him, flog him, and put him to death; and after three days 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.”
Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye chichi?”
"What is it you want me to do for you?" said he.
37 Ni ŵajanjile, “Pachintawale mu ukulu wenu, tukummenda tutame jumo kundyo ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."
38 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngankuchimanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chingung'welela une pane kubatiswa mu ubatiso ungubatiswa une?”
"You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39 Ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene chinng'welele chikombe chingung'welela une ni kubatiswa ubatiso ungubatiswa une.
They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,
40 Ni kwa aŵala ŵachatame kundyo pane kunchiji kwangu, ngaŵa masengo gangu. Nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵaasagwile.”
but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been reserved."
41 Ŵele ŵakulijiganya likumi paŵapilikene chechila chiŵaŵendile che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵaatumbilile.
When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.
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.
"You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.
43 Nambo ikaaŵa yeleyo kwa ŵanyamwe, sooni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu pasikati jenu, aŵeje katumetume jwa wose.
Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;
44 Nombe jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu kupunda wose aŵeje kapolo jwa wose.
and whoever among you would be first, shall be slave of all,
45 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kukutumichilwa, nambo aiche kukutumichila ni kuutyosya umi wao kwa kwawombola ŵandu ŵajinji.”
and justly, for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life, 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.
Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.
47 Paŵapilikene kuti ali Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti ŵaliji nkupita pelepo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya achitiji, “Che Yesu, Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!"
48 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo jwelejo ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵatite, “Mwaŵilanje.” Nipele, ŵammilasile mundu jwangalola jula, ŵansalile, “Nkamulisye ntima! Njimuche, akummilanga.”
Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."
50 Nombejo ŵaponyisye kwakutalichila mwinjilo wakwe, ŵagulwiche, ni ŵajaulile Che Yesu.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
51 Che Yesu ŵammusisye jwelejo, “Nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Jwangalola jo ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, ngusaka mbate kulola.”
"What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"
52 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Papopo mundu jo ŵatandite kulola, nipele ŵalongene nawo Che Yesu.
"Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
