< 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 then rose from there and went to the region of Judea, traveling through the region beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered around him again. And again he taught them, as he was accustomed to do.
2 Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵane ŵajaulile ni kwalinga kwa kwawusya, “Ana Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakukunda kuti jwannume kwaleka ŵankwakwe?”
Then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana che Musa ŵannajisye chichi?”
He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Che Musa ŵalajisye kuti, jwannume akukombola kumpa talaka ŵankwakwe ni kwaleka.”
They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Che Musa ŵagalembile malajisyo go kwaligongo lya ungajiganyikwa wenu.
But Jesus answered them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
6 Nambo che Musa ŵalembile, chitandile kupagwa kwa chilambo, Akunnungu ŵangumbile jwannume ni jwankongwe.
But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.’
7 Kwa ligongo lyo jwannume chachinleka atatigwe ni achikulugwe, nombejo chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe,
‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8 ni ŵaŵili wo chachiŵa chiilu chimo. Sambano ngakuŵa ŵaŵili sooni, nambo chiilu chimo.
and the two will become one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Nipele, chalumbikenye Akunnungu, mundu ngasachilekanganya.”
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 Paŵausile sooni mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵaausisye Che Yesu nkati majiganyo go.
When they were back in the house, Jesus' disciples asked him about the same subject.
11 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunleka ŵankwakwe ni kulombela jwankongwe jwine, akuntendela chikululu ŵankwakwe.
So he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12 Iyoyo, jwankongwe jwakunleka jwannume jwao ni kulombwa ni jwannume jwine, akuntendela chikululu jwannume jwao.”
And if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi ŵasajichile makono gao, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaakalipile ŵandu wo.
Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
14 Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, yachimile ni ŵaasalile, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, kasimwalekasya, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela ŵeleŵa.
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela ŵanache achanandi ngaajinjila mwelemo ng'oo.”
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
16 Nipele, ŵajangete ŵanache ni kwasajichila makono ni kwapa upile.
And taking the children in his arms, he laid 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 he was setting out on the road, a man ran up, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, 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 yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
19 Ntakugamanyilila makanyo gagakuti, ‘Kasimmulaga ni Kasintenda chikululu ni Kasinjiŵa ni Kasinsala ya unami ni Kasimunnambuchisya njenu, ni Mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor yoʋr father and mother.’”
20 Mundu jula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, makanyo gose go nagakamulichisye chitandilile ku uwanache wangu.”
The man answered him, “Teacher, I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
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.”
As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for the man and said to him, “One thing yoʋ lack: Go and sell all that yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven. Then take up yoʋr cross 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 the man was dejected by what Jesus said and went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalolite kosekose, ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Chiilimbe kwannope kwa ŵandu ŵaipanje kwalechelela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!”
Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to 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 amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!
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 is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasimosile nnope, ŵaliusisye, “Ana sambano nduni juchakombole kulupuswa?”
They were completely astonished at this and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye ni kwasalila, “Kwa ŵandu ngaikukomboleka, nambo ngaŵa yeleyo kwa Akunnungu, pakuŵa kwa Akunnungu yanayose ikukomboleka.”
Jesus looked at them and 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!”
Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
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,
Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
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)
who will not receive now in this age a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age 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 will be last, and many who are last will be 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.
Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them, and they were amazed. But as they followed they became afraid. Again he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going 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.
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles.
34 Nombe chaachintendela chanache ni chaachinsunila mata ni chaachimputa mbokola ni kumbulaga. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chasyuche.”
They will mock him, flog him, spit on him, and kill him. But on the third day 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.”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want yoʋ to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye chichi?”
So he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Ni ŵajanjile, “Pachintawale mu ukulu wenu, tukummenda tutame jumo kundyo ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
They said to him, “Grant that one of us may sit on yoʋr right and the other on yoʋr left in yoʋr glory.”
38 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngankuchimanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chingung'welela une pane kubatiswa mu ubatiso ungubatiswa une?”
But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to 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 said to him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,
40 Ni kwa aŵala ŵachatame kundyo pane kunchiji kwangu, ngaŵa masengo gangu. Nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵaasagwile.”
but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 Ŵele ŵakulijiganya likumi paŵapilikene chechila chiŵaŵendile che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵaatumbilile.
When the ten heard this, they started becoming indignant 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.
So Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
43 Nambo ikaaŵa yeleyo kwa ŵanyamwe, sooni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu pasikati jenu, aŵeje katumetume jwa wose.
But it shall not be so among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
44 Nombe jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu kupunda wose aŵeje kapolo jwa wose.
and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.
45 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kukutumichilwa, nambo aiche kukutumichila ni kuutyosya umi wao kwa kwawombola ŵandu ŵajinji.”
For even the Son of Man came not 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.
Then they came to Jericho. Now as Jesus was leaving Jericho, along with his disciples and a large crowd, the blind man Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.
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 that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
48 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo jwelejo ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
Many people began rebuking him, telling him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “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 stopped and asked for him to be called over. So they called out to the blind man and said to him, “Take courage and get up; he is calling for yoʋ.”
50 Nombejo ŵaponyisye kwakutalichila mwinjilo wakwe, ŵagulwiche, ni ŵajaulile Che Yesu.
Throwing off his cloak, he rose and came to Jesus.
51 Che Yesu ŵammusisye jwelejo, “Nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Jwangalola jo ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, ngusaka mbate kulola.”
Then Jesus said to him, “What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, I want to receive my sight.”
52 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Papopo mundu jo ŵatandite kulola, nipele ŵalongene nawo Che Yesu.
Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.” Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus on the road.
