< 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.
Soon on His feet once more, He enters the district of Judaea and crosses the Jordan: again the people flock to Him, and ere long, as was usual with Him, He was teaching them once more.
2 Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵane ŵajaulile ni kwalinga kwa kwawusya, “Ana Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakukunda kuti jwannume kwaleka ŵankwakwe?”
Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question--seeking to entrap Him, "May a man divorce his wife?"
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana che Musa ŵannajisye chichi?”
"What rule did Moses lay down for you?" He answered.
4 Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Che Musa ŵalajisye kuti, jwannume akukombola kumpa talaka ŵankwakwe ni kwaleka.”
"Moses," they said, "permitted a man to draw up a written notice of divorce, and to send his wife away."
5 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Che Musa ŵagalembile malajisyo go kwaligongo lya ungajiganyikwa wenu.
"It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts," said Jesus, "that Moses enacted this law for you;
6 Nambo che Musa ŵalembile, chitandile kupagwa kwa chilambo, Akunnungu ŵangumbile jwannume ni jwankongwe.
but from the beginning of the creation the rule was, 'Male and female did God make them.
7 Kwa ligongo lyo jwannume chachinleka atatigwe ni achikulugwe, nombejo chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe,
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife,
8 ni ŵaŵili wo chachiŵa chiilu chimo. Sambano ngakuŵa ŵaŵili sooni, nambo chiilu chimo.
and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but 'one.'
9 Nipele, chalumbikenye Akunnungu, mundu ngasachilekanganya.”
What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate."
10 Paŵausile sooni mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵaausisye Che Yesu nkati majiganyo go.
Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.
11 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwalijose jwakunleka ŵankwakwe ni kulombela jwankongwe jwine, akuntendela chikululu ŵankwakwe.
He replied, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against the first wife;
12 Iyoyo, jwankongwe jwakunleka jwannume jwao ni kulombwa ni jwannume jwine, akuntendela chikululu jwannume jwao.”
and if a woman puts away 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.
One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.
14 Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, yachimile ni ŵaasalile, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, kasimwalekasya, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela ŵeleŵa.
Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.
15 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela ŵanache achanandi ngaajinjila mwelemo ng'oo.”
In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it."
16 Nipele, ŵajangete ŵanache ni kwasajichila makono ni kwapa upile.
Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon 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 went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, "Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (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?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no one truly good except One--that is, 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--'Do not murder;' 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Do not defraud;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
20 Mundu jula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, makanyo gose go nagakamulichisye chitandilile ku uwanache wangu.”
"Rabbi," he replied, "all these Commandments I have carefully obeyed 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.”
Then Jesus looked at him and loved him, and said, "One thing is lacking in you: go, sell all you possess and give the proceeds to the poor, and you shall have riches in Heaven; and come and be a follower of mine."
22 Mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵapwele ntima ni ŵajawile achipukunyaga ntwe, pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji ni nganasaka kwapa ŵane ipanje yao.
At these words his brow darkened, and he went away sad; for he was possessed of great wealth.
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalolite kosekose, ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Chiilimbe kwannope kwa ŵandu ŵaipanje kwalechelela Akunnungu ŵaatawale!”
Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, "With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches 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. Jesus, however, said again, "Children, how hard a struggle is it 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 man to enter the Kingdom of God."
26 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasimosile nnope, ŵaliusisye, “Ana sambano nduni juchakombole kulupuswa?”
They were astonished beyond measure, 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 looking on them said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God."
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole! Ni uweji tulesile indu yose ni kunkuya mmwe!”
"Remember," said Peter to Him, "that we forsook everything and have become your followers."
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,
"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,
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 will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life--houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands--and persecution with them--and in the coming age the Life of the Ages. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Nambo achajinji ŵakuliganichisya kuti ali achakulu sambano, chatuluswe ni ŵandu ŵakulitulusya sambano, chachiŵa achakulu.”
But many who are now 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 were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell 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.
"See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where 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.”
they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life 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 Zabdi, came up to Him and said, "Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request we make of you."
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye chichi?”
"What would you have me do for you?" He asked.
37 Ni ŵajanjile, “Pachintawale mu ukulu wenu, tukummenda tutame jumo kundyo ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
"Allow us," they replied, "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," said He, "what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?"
39 Ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene chinng'welele chikombe chingung'welela une ni kubatiswa ubatiso ungubatiswa une.
"We are able," they replied. "Out of the cup," said Jesus, "from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized;
40 Ni kwa aŵala ŵachatame kundyo pane kunchiji kwangu, ngaŵa masengo gangu. Nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵaasagwile.”
but as to sitting at my right hand or at my left, that is not mine to give: it will be for those for whom it is reserved."
41 Ŵele ŵakulijiganya likumi paŵapilikene chechila chiŵaŵendile che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵaatumbilile.
The other ten, hearing of it, were at first highly 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.
Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, "You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority;
43 Nambo ikaaŵa yeleyo kwa ŵanyamwe, sooni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu pasikati jenu, aŵeje katumetume jwa wose.
but it is not to be so among you. No, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant;
44 Nombe jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu kupunda wose aŵeje kapolo jwa wose.
and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all.
45 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kukutumichilwa, nambo aiche kukutumichila ni kuutyosya umi wao kwa kwawombola ŵandu ŵajinji.”
For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people."
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.
They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town--Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side.
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 the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me."
48 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo jwelejo ŵajendelechele kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mwana ju che Daudi, mungolele chanasa!”
Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."
49 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵatite, “Mwaŵilanje.” Nipele, ŵammilasile mundu jwangalola jula, ŵansalile, “Nkamulisye ntima! Njimuche, akummilanga.”
Then Jesus stood still. "Call him," He said. So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said; "rise, he is calling you."
50 Nombejo ŵaponyisye kwakutalichila mwinjilo wakwe, ŵagulwiche, ni ŵajaulile Che Yesu.
The man flung away his outer garment, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
51 Che Yesu ŵammusisye jwelejo, “Nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Jwangalola jo ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, ngusaka mbate kulola.”
"What shall I do for you?" said Jesus. "Rabboni," replied the blind man, "let me recover my sight."
52 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.” Papopo mundu jo ŵatandite kulola, nipele ŵalongene nawo Che Yesu.
"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has cured you." Instantly he regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.
