< Maliko 6 >

1 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pepala, ŵalongene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwaula ku nsinda wakwe.
Jesus left and went home to Nazareth with his disciples.
2 Palyaiche Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwiganya mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi. Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵampilikene ŵasimosile achitiji, “Ana apatile kwapi yele indu yakuisala yi? Ana apatile kwapi lunda lu mundu ju mpaka akombole kuitendekanya yakusimonjeka?
On Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many of those who were listening were surprised. “Where does he get these ideas?” they asked. “What's this wisdom he's been given? Where does he get the power to do miracles?
3 Ana aju ngaŵa jwakusepa jula, mwana ju che Maliamu ni achapwakwe ngaŵa che Yakobo ni che Yusufu ni che Yuda ni che Simoni? Ana achalumbugwe ngakutamanga papapa pamangwetu pa?” Kwa yele ŵankanile.
Isn't this the carpenter, Mary's son—the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Don't his sisters live here among us?” They were offended and rejected him.
4 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu akuchimbichikwa papalipose, nambo ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe ni mwa achalongo achinjakwe ni kwa ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.”
“A prophet is treated with respect except in his home town, among his relatives, and within his own family,” Jesus told them.
5 Che Yesu nganakombola kuitendekanya indu yakusimosya pa Nasaleti po, nambo nganatupa ŵakulwala ŵaŵaasajichile makono ni kwalamya.
The result was that Jesus could not do any miracles there, except to heal a few sick people.
6 Nombejo ŵasimosile nnope, ligongo ŵandu ŵa kweleko wo nganakulupililanga. Nipele Che Yesu ŵasyungwile mmisinda ja pachiŵandi ni pepala ni kwajiganya ŵandu.
He was amazed at their lack of trust. Jesus traveled around the villages, teaching as he went.
7 Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, ŵatandite kwatuma ŵaŵili ŵaŵili ni kwapa ukombole wa kugakoposya masoka.
He called together the twelve disciples, and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority over evil spirits.
8 Ni ŵaasalile, “Ngasinjigala chindu chachilichose mu ulendo ikaŵe nkongojo pe. Ngasinjigala chakulya chachilichose atamuno nsaku atamuno mbiya.
He told them not to take anything with them except a walking stick—no bread, no bag, and no money in their belts.
9 Mbwale italawanda nambo ngasinjigala mwinjilo wine.
They could wear sandals, but they were not to take an extra shirt.
10 Papalipose pachampochele nnonjele mmomo mpaka pachintyoche pelepo.
“When you're invited into a home, stay there until you leave,” he told them.
11 Papalipose pachankane kumpochela ni kukana kumpilikanila, ntyoche pelepo nchikung'undaga luundu mmakongolo mwenu, kulosya kuti nkwajamuka, pakuŵa akanile kuupochela utenga wa Akunnungu.”
“If you're not welcomed and not listened to, then shake the dust from your feet as you leave as a sign you have given up on them.”
12 Nipele ŵatyosile, ŵaalalichile ŵandu aleche sambi syao.
So they went around telling people to repent.
13 Ŵagakopwesye masoka gamajinji, sooni ŵaapakesye mauta ŵakulwala ŵajinji ni kwalamya.
They drove out many demons, and healed many who were sick by anointing them with oil.
14 Mwenye che Helode ŵasipikene ngani syo, pakuŵa liina li Che Yesu lyamanyiche papalipose. Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵatite, “Mundu ju ali che Yohana Jwakubatisya, asyuchile! Kwaligongo lyo akwete machili ga kupanganya yakusimonjeka.”
King Herod got to hear about Jesus since he had become well-known. Some said, “This is John the Baptist risen from the dead. That's why he has such miraculous powers.”
15 Nambo ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu ju ali che Elia.” Nombe ŵane ŵatite, “Ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu mpela aŵala ŵakulondola ŵa kalakala.”
Others said, “It's Elijah.” Still others said, “He's a prophet, like one of the prophets of the past.”
16 Nambo che Helode paŵapilikene yeleyi, ŵatite, “Jweleju ali che Yohana Jwakubatisya junankatile ntwe, asyuchile!”
But when Herod heard about it, he said, “It's John, the one I beheaded! He's come back from the dead!”
17 Che Helode ŵaganisisye yeleyo pakuŵa, kundanda ko ŵaalajisye ŵandu kuti ŵakamule che Yohana ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu. Che Helode ŵatesile yeleyo ligongo ŵalombile che Helodia juŵaliji ŵankwakwe che Filipo mpwakwe.
For Herod had given orders to arrest and imprison John because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom Herod had married.
18 Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaasalilaga che Helode, “Ngaikuŵajilwa mmwe kwalomba ŵankwakwe mpwenu.”
John had been saying to Herod, “It's against the law to marry your brother's wife.”
19 Nipele che Helodia, ŵankwakwe mwenye, ŵanchimile nnope che Yohana, ŵasachile kwaulaga, nambo nganakombola.
So Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted him killed. But she wasn't able to arrange it
20 Che Helode ŵanjogopaga che Yohana pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵaliji jwambone ni jwanswela, kwapele ŵanlindilile. Che Helode yaanonyelaga kwapilikanila che Yohana, nachiŵamuno yaapetekaga ntima kwannope paŵamalisyaga kwapikanila.
because Herod knew John was a holy man who did what was right. Herod protected John and though what John said was very disturbing to him, he was still happy to hear what he had to say.
21 Nambo lyuŵa limo, che Helodia ŵapatile lipesa pa lyuŵa lyakumbuchila kupagwa kwa che Helode. Che Helode ŵaapanganyichisye chindimba achakulu ŵa nkungulu wakwe, achakulu ŵa ŵandu ŵangondo ni ilongola ŵa chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
Herodias had her opportunity on Herod's birthday. He gave a banquet for the nobles, military officers, and important leaders of Galilee.
22 Nipele, mwali ju che Helodia ŵajinjile, ŵatyasile ni kunnonyelesya kwannope mwenye che Helode ni achalendo ŵakwe. Mwenye che Helode ŵansalile mwali jula, “Mumende chachilichose chinkuchisaka, chinampe.”
Herodias' own daughter came in and danced for them. Herod and those eating with him were delighted at her performance, so he told the girl,
23 Ni sooni ŵalumbilile, “Chachilichose chachimumende chinampe, atamuno mbindikati ja umwenye wangu.”
“Ask me for whatever you like, and I'll give it to you.” He confirmed his promise with an oath, “I'll give you up to half my kingdom.”
24 Mwali jo ŵakopweche ni kwaula kwa achikulugwe kukwausya, “Ŵeende chichi?” Achikulugwe ŵajanjile, “Mmende ntwe u che Yohana Jwakubatisya.”
She went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptist,” she replied.
25 Mwali jula ŵausile kwa chitema kwa mwenye ni ŵaasalile, “Ngusaka muumbe sambano pejino, ntwe u che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mu mbale.”
The girl hurried back in and said to the king, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a plate.”
26 Mwenye jula ŵasupwiche nnope, nambo pakuŵa ŵanlumbilile paujo pa achalendo ŵakwe, nganakombola kunkanila.
The king was very upset, but because of the oaths he'd made in front of his guests, he didn't want to refuse her.
27 Papopo mwenye ŵantumile jwangondo akajigale ntwe u che Yohana. Jwangondo ŵajawile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu ni kwakata che Yohana ntwe.
So he immediately sent an executioner to bring him John's head. After beheading him in the prison,
28 Ŵaichenawo ntwe ula mu mbale ni kumpa mwali, nombejo ŵampele achikulugwe.
the executioner brought John's head on a plate and gave it to the girl, and the young girl handed it to her mother.
29 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵajipilikene ngani jo, ŵapite kukwigala chiilu chakwe ni kuchisika.
When John's disciples heard what had happened they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30 Achinduna ŵala ŵausile ku ulendo wao ni kunsalila Che Yesu yose iŵaitesile ni iŵaijigenye.
The apostles returned and gathered around Jesus. They told him all they had done and what they had taught.
31 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Tujaule peuto pangali ŵandu kuti nkapumulile.” Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ligongo kwaliji kwana ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaikaga ni kutyoka, namose Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe nganapatanga lipesa lyakuti alyanje.
“Come with me, just yourselves. We'll go to a quiet place, and rest for a while,” Jesus told them, because there was so much coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.
32 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa achinsyene pe kwaula peuto pangali ŵandu.
So they went by boat to a quiet place to be alone.
33 Nambo ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaaweni paŵajaulaga po, ni ŵamanyilile. Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaumile misi jose ŵautuchile ni ŵalongolele kwika kwiuto kula, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao akanaiche.
But people saw them leaving and recognized them. So people from all the surrounding towns ran ahead and got there before them.
34 Paŵatulwiche mu ngalaŵa, Che Yesu ŵauweni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu, ŵaukolele chanasa ligongo ŵaliji mpela ngondolo syangali ni jwakuchinga ni ŵatandite kwajiganya indu yejinji.
When Jesus got off the boat he saw a huge crowd, and he felt pity for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them about many things.
35 Palyaiche ligulo ŵakulijiganya ŵaajaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Sambano kuswele ni sooni mutuli muno mwipululu.
It was getting late in the day and Jesus' disciples came to him. They told him, “We're miles from anywhere, and it's really late.
36 Mwalanje ŵandu ŵa ajaulangane mmisinda jajiŵandichile pane mmigunda, akalisumile yakulya.”
You should tell the people to go and buy themselves something to eat in the villages and countryside nearby.”
37 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe mwape chakulya alyanje.” Ŵanyawo ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka tukasume mikate kwa mbiya syasijinji syanti yele, ni kwapa alyanje?”
But Jesus replied, “You give them something to eat.” “What? We'd need more than six month's pay to buy bread to feed all these people,” the disciples replied.
38 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nkwete mikate jilingwa? Njaule nkalole.” Paŵajawile kukulola ni ŵansalile, “Jipali mikate nsano ni somba siŵili.”
“Well, how much bread do you have?” Jesus asked. “Go and see.” They went and checked, and told him, “Five loaves, and a couple of fish.”
39 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatamiche ŵandu wo pa manyasi gamaŵisi mipingo mipingo.
Jesus told everyone to sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Nombewo ŵatemi mmipingo ja ŵandu mia moja ni ja ŵandu hansini.
They sat in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajigele mikate nsano jila pamo ni somba siŵili sila. Ŵalolite kwinani ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ni kujigaŵanya mikate jila. Ni ŵapele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti ŵagaŵanyichisye ŵandu. Ilaila ŵagaŵilenye ŵandu wose somba siŵili sila.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fish. Looking up to heaven he blessed the food and broke the bread into pieces. Then he handed the bread to the disciples to give to the people, and he divided the fish up between all of them.
42 Ŵandu wose ŵalile ni kwikuta.
Everyone ate until they were full.
43 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵakumbikenye sigasi sya mikate ni somba, ŵagumbesye itundu kumi na mbili.
Then they collected up the leftovers of the bread and fish—twelve basketfuls.
44 Achalume ŵaŵalile mikate jo ŵaliji mianda nsano.
A total of five thousand men plus their families ate the food.
45 Papopo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ajinjilanje mu ngalaŵa alongolele ku Besesaida kwakuli peesi litanda. Nombejo ŵasigalile kuti aulanje mpingo wa ŵandu ula.
Immediately after this Jesus instructed his disciples to get back into the boat. They were to go on ahead to Bethsaida on the other side of the lake while he sent the people on their way.
46 Paŵamasile kwalanga ŵandu, Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwitumbi kukupopela.
Once he'd said goodbye to them he went up into the hills to pray.
47 Palyaiche ligulo, ngalaŵa jila jaliji pambindikati litanda, katema ko Che Yesu ŵaliji jikape kunsanga.
Late that evening the boat was in the middle of the lake while Jesus was alone, still on land.
48 Nipele ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala achilagaga mu ngalaŵa, ligongo mbungo jaliji jininkwaputa. Kuninkucha Che Yesu ŵaŵandichile achendaga pachanya meesi ni ŵalitesile akwapelenganya.
He could see them being buffeted about as they rowed hard because the wind was blowing against them. In the early morning hours Jesus came to them, walking on the water. He would have passed them,
49 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵala paŵammweni ali nkwenda pachanya meesi, ŵaganisisye lilaika, ni ŵatandite gumilanga.
but when they saw him walking on the water they thought he was a ghost. They screamed out
50 Pakuŵa wose paŵambweni ŵajogwepe nnope. Papopo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Muusimane ntima, ndili une, kasinjogopanga.”
because they could all see him and were absolutely terrified. Jesus told them right away: “Don't worry, it's me. Don't be afraid!”
51 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa jiŵaliji ŵakulijiganya ŵao mula ni mbungo jatulele. Ŵakulijiganya ŵasimosile nnope,
He went over to them and climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. They were totally shocked,
52 ligongo, ŵaliji akanamanyilile chatesile Che Yesu nkati mikate jila, pakuŵa mitima jao jatopelwe kumanyilila.
for they hadn't understood the meaning of the feeding miracle due to their stubborn, hard-hearted attitude.
53 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajombweche litanda, ŵaiche ku Genesaleti, pelepo ŵajijimiche ngalaŵa jao.
After crossing the Sea they arrived at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54 Paŵakopweche mu ngalaŵa, papopo ŵandu ŵaamanyilile Che Yesu.
As they climbed out, the people immediately recognized Jesus.
55 Nipele ŵautwiche achisyungulaga pachilambo pose, ni kutanda kwajigalanga ŵakulwala ali agonile mmigono jao, ni kwajausya kulikose kuŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali kweleko.
They ran everywhere around the whole area to bring in all the sick on their mats to where they'd heard Jesus was.
56 Kulikose kuŵajawile Che Yesu, mmisinda, mmisi ni mmigunda, ŵandu ŵaliji nkwagoneka ŵakulwala peuto pakusumichisya malonda, ŵachondelele Che Yesu kuti ŵakulwala ŵakwaye namose luminiko lwa mwinjilo wao. Ni wose ŵaŵakwaiye ŵalamile.
Wherever he went, in the villages, in the towns, or in the countryside, they put the sick in the marketplaces and begged Jesus to let the sick touch just the edge of his clothes. Everyone who touched him was healed.
