< Maliko 6 >

1 Che Yesu ŵatyosile pepala, ŵalongene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwaula ku nsinda wakwe.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
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?
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the Synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? and these miracles which he is doing?
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.
Is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in 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.”
on which Jesus said: “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own relations, and in his own home.”
5 Che Yesu nganakombola kuitendekanya indu yakusimosya pa Nasaleti po, nambo nganatupa ŵakulwala ŵaŵaasajichile makono ni kwalamya.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 Nombejo ŵasimosile nnope, ligongo ŵandu ŵa kweleko wo nganakulupililanga. Nipele Che Yesu ŵasyungwile mmisinda ja pachiŵandi ni pepala ni kwajiganya ŵandu.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, ŵatandite kwatuma ŵaŵili ŵaŵili ni kwapa ukombole wa kugakoposya masoka.
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his Messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
8 Ni ŵaasalile, “Ngasinjigala chindu chachilichose mu ulendo ikaŵe nkongojo pe. Ngasinjigala chakulya chachilichose atamuno nsaku atamuno mbiya.
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
9 Mbwale italawanda nambo ngasinjigala mwinjilo wine.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Papalipose pachampochele nnonjele mmomo mpaka pachintyoche pelepo.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
11 Papalipose pachankane kumpochela ni kukana kumpilikanila, ntyoche pelepo nchikung'undaga luundu mmakongolo mwenu, kulosya kuti nkwajamuka, pakuŵa akanile kuupochela utenga wa Akunnungu.”
and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
12 Nipele ŵatyosile, ŵaalalichile ŵandu aleche sambi syao.
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 Ŵagakopwesye masoka gamajinji, sooni ŵaapakesye mauta ŵakulwala ŵajinji ni kwalamya.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
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.”
Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
15 Nambo ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu ju ali che Elia.” Nombe ŵane ŵatite, “Ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu mpela aŵala ŵakulondola ŵa kalakala.”
Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
16 Nambo che Helode paŵapilikene yeleyi, ŵatite, “Jweleju ali che Yohana Jwakubatisya junankatile ntwe, asyuchile!”
But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
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 himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18 Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaasalilaga che Helode, “Ngaikuŵajilwa mmwe kwalomba ŵankwakwe mpwenu.”
For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Nipele che Helodia, ŵankwakwe mwenye, ŵanchimile nnope che Yohana, ŵasachile kwaulaga, nambo nganakombola.
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
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 stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
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.
A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in 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.”
And when his daughter — that is, the daughter of Herodias — came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the King said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
23 Ni sooni ŵalumbilile, “Chachilichose chachimumende chinampe, atamuno mbindikati ja umwenye wangu.”
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
24 Mwali jo ŵakopweche ni kwaula kwa achikulugwe kukwausya, “Ŵeende chichi?” Achikulugwe ŵajanjile, “Mmende ntwe u che Yohana Jwakubatisya.”
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
25 Mwali jula ŵausile kwa chitema kwa mwenye ni ŵaasalile, “Ngusaka muumbe sambano pejino, ntwe u che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mu mbale.”
So she went in as quickly as possible to the King, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
26 Mwenye jula ŵasupwiche nnope, nambo pakuŵa ŵanlumbilile paujo pa achalendo ŵakwe, nganakombola kunkanila.
The King was much distressed; yet, on account of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
27 Papopo mwenye ŵantumile jwangondo akajigale ntwe u che Yohana. Jwangondo ŵajawile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu ni kwakata che Yohana ntwe.
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 Ŵaichenawo ntwe ula mu mbale ni kumpa mwali, nombejo ŵampele achikulugwe.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵajipilikene ngani jo, ŵapite kukwigala chiilu chakwe ni kuchisika.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Achinduna ŵala ŵausile ku ulendo wao ni kunsalila Che Yesu yose iŵaitesile ni iŵaijigenye.
When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that 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 by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” — for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
32 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa achinsyene pe kwaula peuto pangali ŵandu.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
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.
And many people saw them going, and recognised them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, 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.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were ‘like sheep without a shepherd’; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Palyaiche ligulo ŵakulijiganya ŵaajaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Sambano kuswele ni sooni mutuli muno mwipululu.
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 Mwalanje ŵandu ŵa ajaulangane mmisinda jajiŵandichile pane mmigunda, akalisumile yakulya.”
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
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 answered: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and buy twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
38 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nkwete mikate jilingwa? Njaule nkalole.” Paŵajawile kukulola ni ŵansalile, “Jipali mikate nsano ni somba siŵili.”
“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
39 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatamiche ŵandu wo pa manyasi gamaŵisi mipingo mipingo.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Nombewo ŵatemi mmipingo ja ŵandu mia moja ni ja ŵandu hansini.
and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in 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.
Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fishes also among them all.
42 Ŵandu wose ŵalile ni kwikuta.
Every one had sufficient to eat;
43 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵakumbikenye sigasi sya mikate ni somba, ŵagumbesye itundu kumi na mbili.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Achalume ŵaŵalile mikate jo ŵaliji mianda nsano.
The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
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 afterwards Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
46 Paŵamasile kwalanga ŵandu, Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwitumbi kukupopela.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Palyaiche ligulo, ngalaŵa jila jaliji pambindikati litanda, katema ko Che Yesu ŵaliji jikape kunsanga.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Nipele ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala achilagaga mu ngalaŵa, ligongo mbungo jaliji jininkwaputa. Kuninkucha Che Yesu ŵaŵandichile achendaga pachanya meesi ni ŵalitesile akwapelenganya.
Seeing them labouring at the oars — for the wind was against them — about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join 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 it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 Pakuŵa wose paŵambweni ŵajogwepe nnope. Papopo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Muusimane ntima, ndili une, kasinjogopanga.”
for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
51 Nipele ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa jiŵaliji ŵakulijiganya ŵao mula ni mbungo jatulele. Ŵakulijiganya ŵasimosile nnope,
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 ligongo, ŵaliji akanamanyilile chatesile Che Yesu nkati mikate jila, pakuŵa mitima jao jatopelwe kumanyilila.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajombweche litanda, ŵaiche ku Genesaleti, pelepo ŵajijimiche ngalaŵa jao.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Paŵakopweche mu ngalaŵa, papopo ŵandu ŵaamanyilile Che Yesu.
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
55 Nipele ŵautwiche achisyungulaga pachilambo pose, ni kutanda kwajigalanga ŵakulwala ali agonile mmigono jao, ni kwajausya kulikose kuŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali kweleko.
hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he 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.
So wherever he went — to villages, or towns, or farms — they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
