Maliko 3
1 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi ni mmomo mwaliji ni mundu jwapombotele nkono.
Jesus went to the synagogue again. A man was there who had a crippled hand.
2 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaliji nkusosa ligongo lya kwakamulila Che Yesu. Nipele ŵaliji nkunnolechesya panepa chanlamye mundu jo pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Some of those there were watching Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath, because they were looking for a reason to accuse him of breaking the law.
3 Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jwapombotele nkono jula, “Njise paujo.”
Jesus told the man with the crippled hand, “Come and stand here in front of everyone.”
4 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana ili yambone pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila kuitendekanya yambone pane yangalumbana? Kukulupusya pane kuulaga?” Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele.
“Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? Should you save life, or should you kill?” he asked them. But they didn't say a word.
5 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye wose kwa lutumbilo, ni ŵasupwiche ligongo mitima jao jaliji jekakatime. Nipele ŵansalile mundu jula, “Njongole nkono wenu!” Nombejo ŵaujongwele, ni nkono wao walamile.
He looked around at them in exasperation, very upset by their hard-hearted attitude. Then he told the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed.
6 Papopo, Mafalisayo ŵakopweche paasa pa nyuumba ja kusimanilana ni kuŵechetesyana ni ŵandu ŵa mpingo u che Helode itajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu.
The Pharisees left, and immediately began plotting with Herod's party as to how they might kill Jesus.
7 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatyosile pelepo ni kwaula mungulugulu litanda lya Galilaya ni mpingo wa ŵandu wankuiye. Ŵandu wo ŵaumile mmisi ja ku Galilaya ni ku Yudea.
Meanwhile Jesus returned to the Sea, and a large crowd followed him. They were from Galilee, Judea,
8 Paŵapilikene iŵaitesile Che Yesu, ŵandu ŵane ŵaichilile kutyochela mmisi ja ku Yelusalemu ni ku Idumea ni mmisi jajili peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, ni kutyochela mmisi ja ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
Jerusalem, Idumea, Transjordan, and from the regions of Tyre and Sidon. So many people came to see him because they'd heard about all he was doing.
9 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaliji ŵajinji, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵichile chile ngalaŵa kuti ŵandu anaiche kwaŵijikanya.
Jesus told his disciples to have a small boat ready in case the crowd crushed him,
10 Pakuŵa ŵaalamisye ŵandu ŵajinji, ŵakulwala wose ŵaliji nkututana kuti ŵakwaye.
because he had healed so many that all the sick people kept on pressing towards him so they could touch him.
11 Ni ŵandu ŵaŵakamwilwe ni masoka paŵammonaga, ŵaligwisisye paujo pao ni kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mmwejo ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu!”
Whenever the evil spirits saw him they would fall down in front of him and shout out, “You are the Son of God!”
12 Nambo Che Yesu ŵagakanyisye kwa chikali masoka ganaamanyisye ŵandu ŵane kuti ŵele ali ŵaani.
But he commanded them not to reveal who he was.
13 Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwitumbi ni kwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵaŵasachile nsyene, nombewo ŵajaulile.
Then Jesus went away to the hill country. He called those he wanted to be with him, and they came to him.
14 Nipele ŵasagwile ŵandu likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵaŵaaŵilasile achinduna ni kwasalila, “Nansagwile nnonjele pamo none, sooni chinantume kukwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone,
He chose twelve to be with him, and called them apostles. They were to be with him, and he would send them out to announce the good news,
15 ni ŵanyamwe chinkole ulamusi wa kugakoposya masoka.”
and with the authority to drive out demons.
16 Ŵeleŵa ni ŵandu likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵaŵasagwile, che Simoni ajula Che Yesu juŵampele liina liine che Petulo,
These are the twelve he chose: Simon (whom he called Peter),
17 ni Che Yakobo ni mpwakwe che Yohana ŵanache wa che Sebedayo, Che Yesu ŵapele liina liine Boanelige malumbo gakwe “Ŵandu ŵaali mpela ilindimo, pane akuŵilanjikwa ŵandu ŵaambumu.”
James the son of Zebedee and his brother John (who he called Boanerges, meaning “sons of thunder”),
18 Ŵane ŵaliji che Andulea ni che Filipo ni che Batolomayo ni che Matayo ni che Tomasi ni che Yakobo mwana ju che Alufayo, che Tadayo ni che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa Selote, ligongo ŵaliji jwakumenyanila chilambo chakwe,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
19 ni che Yuda Isikaliote, juŵangalawiche Che Yesu.
and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed him).
20 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausile kumangwao. Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵasongangene sooni, mpaka Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganakombola kulya.
Jesus went home, but such a large crowd gathered again that he and his disciples didn't even have time to eat.
21 Achalongo achinjakwe paŵapilikene yelei, ŵapite kukwajigala ligongo ŵatite kuti jwampugwe.
When Jesus' family heard about it, they came to take him away, saying, “He's lost his senses!”
22 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaŵaumile ku Yelusalemu ŵatite, “Akwete Belesebuli! Jwankulu jwa masoka, jwakwapa machili ga kugakoposya masoka.”
But the religious leaders from Jerusalem said, “He's possessed by Beelzebub! It's by the ruler of demons that he's driving out demons!”
23 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵandu ni kwasalila kwa itagu achitiji, “Ana ikukomboleka Shetani kunkoposya Shetani njakwe?
But Jesus called them over to him. Using illustrations he asked them, “How can Satan throw out Satan?
24 Iŵaga umwenye usapulene mipingo mipingo jajikumenyana, umwenye wo ngaujendelechela.
A kingdom fighting itself can't continue.
25 Sooni iŵaga ŵandu ŵa nyuumba jimo asapulanaga mipingo mipingo ni kumenyana, ŵandu wo chajonasiche.
A household that's divided is doomed.
26 Iyoyo peyo, umwenye wa Shetani, wasapulanaga mipingo mipingo ngaukola machili.
If Satan is divided and fights against himself, he won't last long—he'll soon come to an end.
27 “Ngapagwa jwakupakombola kwinjila mu nyuumba ja jwamachili ni kunsumula ipanje yakwe yose, pangantaŵa kaje jwamachili jo. Pelepo ni pachachikombola kunsumula ipanje yakwe yose.
Clearly, if someone breaks into the house of a strong man and tries to take his things, he won't get far in his theft unless he ties up the strong man first.”
28 “Isyene ngunsalila, ŵandu chaalecheleswe sambi syao syose ni kwatukana kwao Akunnungu kose.
“I tell you the truth: all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven,
30 Che Yesu ŵaŵechete yeleyo ligongo ŵandu ŵaliji nkusala kuti, “Akamwilwe ni lisoka.”
(Jesus said this because they said, “He has an evil spirit.”)
31 Achikulugwe ni achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵaiche pelepo, ŵajimi paasa ni kuntuma mundu akaaŵilanje Che Yesu nkati.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They waited outside and sent him a message, asking him to come out.
32 Mpingo wa ŵandu watemi kwakwasyungula Che Yesu. Nipele jumo jwao ŵansalile, “Achikulu ŵenu ni achapwenu alinji paasa, akunsosa.”
The crowd that was sitting around him told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside asking for you.”
33 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ana achikulu ŵangu ni achapwanga ali ŵaani?”
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” he responded.
34 Pelepo ŵaalolechesye ŵandu uŵansyungwile ŵala ni kuti, “Nnole, ngwaona ŵandu ŵa mpela achikulu ŵangu ni achalongo ŵangu.
Looking around at all those sitting there in a circle, he said, “Here is my mother! Here are my brothers!
35 Pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakuitendekanya yakuisaka Akunnungu, jwelejo ali achimwene jwangu ni mlumbwangu ni achikulu ŵangu.”
Whoever does what God wants, they are my brother, and sister, and mother.”
