Maliko 8
1 Pa moŵa go, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wasongangene sooni. Pakuŵa nganakolanga chakulya, Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwasalila,
In those days, again, when there was a great crowd, and they did not have anything to eat, calling together his disciples, he said to them:
2 “Ngwakolela chanasa ŵandu ŵa, ligongo atemi none kwa moŵa gatatu ni nganakolanga chakulya.
“I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.
3 Naalekaga ajaulangane mmangwao ni sala, komboleka chakomochanje mwitala, pakuŵa ŵampepe mwa ŵanyaŵa atyochele kwakutalika.”
And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.
4 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵambusisye, “Patuli pano mwipululu, ana chitupate kwapi chakulya chakomboleka kwalisya ŵandu wose ŵa?”
And his disciples answered him, “From where would anyone be able to obtain enough bread for them in the wilderness?”
5 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkwete mikate jilingwa?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Saba.”
And he questioned them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵala atame paasi. Ŵajigele mikate saba jila ni ŵaatogolele Akunnungu, ŵagaŵenye ni kwapa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala kuti ŵaagaŵile ŵandu, nombewo ŵaagaŵile ŵandu wo.
And he instructed the crowd to sit down to eat on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave it to his disciples in order to place before them. And they placed these before the crowd.
7 Sooni ŵakwete tusomba kanandi. Che Yesu ŵaatogolele Akunnungu ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaagaŵile ŵandu.
And they had a few small fish. And he blessed them, and he ordered them to be placed before them.
8 Ŵandu ŵala ŵalile ni kwikuta. Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵakumbikenye sigasi ni ŵagumbesye itundu saba.
And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up what had been leftover from the fragments: seven baskets.
9 Ŵandu ŵaŵalile ŵala ŵaliji mpela elufu nne. Nipele Che Yesu ŵalanjile,
And those who ate were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.
10 papopo ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwaula chilambo cha ku Dalamanuta.
And promptly climbing into a boat with his disciples, he went into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Ŵaiche Mafalisayo ŵane ni ŵagatandite makani ni Che Yesu achisakaga kwatanjisya. Ŵaasachile atende chimanyisyo kulosya kuti ukombole wao ukutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu.
And the Pharisees went out and began to contend with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
12 Che Yesu ŵasupwiche nikuti, “Kwachichi ŵandu ŵa moŵa gano akusakanga chimanyisyo? Isyene ngunsalila, ŵandu ŵa ngaapegwa chimanyisyo chachilichose.”
And sighing deeply in spirit, he said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, if only a sign will be given to this generation!”
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalekangene nawo ŵandu ŵala, ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni kombochela peesi.
And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.
14 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ŵaliŵalile kwigala mikate, ŵakwete nkate umo pe mu ngalaŵa mula.
And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf.
15 Che Yesu ŵaajamwiche achitiji, “Nlilolechesye, ni kuligosa ni amila ja Mafalisayo ni ja che Helode.”
And he instructed them, saying: “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.”
16 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵatandite kuŵechetesyana achinsyene pe, “Akuŵecheta yelei ligongo nganitukola mikate.”
And they discussed this with one another, saying, “For we have no bread.”
17 Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile iŵaliji nkuŵechetesyana, ni ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuusyana yati nganinjigala mikate? Ana mpaka sambano ngankulijiganya pane kumanyilila? Kwachichi ngankuganisya?
And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart?
18 Meeso nkwete, ana ngankulolanga? Mapilikanilo nkwete, ana ngankupilikana? Ana ngankukumbuchila
Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember,
19 panagaŵenye mikate nsano jila ni kwapa ŵandu elufu tano, mwagumbesye itundu ilingwa ya sigasi?” Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile, “Itundu kumi na mbili.”
when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
20 Ŵausisye sooni, “Panagaŵenye mikate nsano ni jiŵili ni kwapa ŵandu elufu nne, ana mwagumbesye itundu ilingwa ya sigasi?” Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajanjile, “Itundu saba.”
“And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
21 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nganimme kumanyilila?”
And he said to them, “How is it that you do not yet understand?”
22 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaiche ku nsinda wa ku Besesaida. Kukoko ŵandu ŵampelechele mundu jwangalola, ni ŵaachondelele Che Yesu kuti ankwaye kuti anlamye.
And they went to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to him. And they petitioned him, so that he would touch him.
23 Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono mundu jwangalola jo ni ŵakopweche nawo paasa nsinda. Ni ŵansunile mata mmeeso, ŵasajichile makono ni ŵambusisye, “Nkukombola kuchiona chachilichose?”
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him beyond the village. And putting spit on his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he could see anything.
24 Mundu jwangalola jula ŵalolite nikuti, “Ngwaona ŵandu ali nkuoneka mpela itela ili nkwenda.”
And looking up, he said, “I see men but they are like walking trees.”
25 Che Yesu ŵasajiche sooni makono gakwe mmeeso mwa jwangalola jula, nombejo ukombole wakwe wa kulola wammujilile.
Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.
26 Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo ajaule kumangwakwe ni kunkanya achitiji, “Nkaujila ku nsinda ni kwasalila ŵandu.”
And he sent him to his house, saying, “Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one.”
27 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajawile ku misi ja Kaisalia Filipi. Paŵaliji mwitala, Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana ŵandu akuti une ndili nduni?”
And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajanjile, “Ŵane akuti ŵalakwe ndi che Yohana Ŵakubatisya, ŵane akuti ndi che Elia ni ŵane akuti ndi jumo jwa Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.”
And they answered him by saying: “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets.”
29 Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ŵanyamwe nkuti uneji nduni?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ŵalakwe ndi Kilisito, Jwasagulikwe ni Akunnungu.”
Then he said to them, “Yet truly, who do you say that I am?” Peter responded by saying to him, “You are the Christ.”
30 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajamwiche achitiji, “Ngasimunsalila mundu jwalijose chelechi nkati une.”
And he admonished them, not to tell anyone about him.
31 Che Yesu ŵatandite kwajiganya ŵakulijiganya ŵao achitiji, “Mwana jwa Mundu akusachilwa asauche kwannope ni kukanikwa ni achachekulu ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo. Nipele chachiulajikwa, nambo chasyuche pa lyuŵa lyaatatu.”
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile yelei pangasisa. Nipele che Petulo ŵanjigele Che Yesu pajika ni kutanda kwakalipila kuti anasale indu yo.
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to correct him.
33 Nambo Che Yesu ŵagalawiche, ŵaalolechesye ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwakalipila che Petulo achitiji, “Shetani, ntyoche apa! Pakuwa ngankuganisya ngani ja Akunnungu nambo nkuganisya ngani sya ŵandu.”
And turning away and looking at his disciples, he admonished Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan, for you do not prefer the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.”
34 Nipele ŵauŵilasile mpingo wa ŵandu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwasalila, “Mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuunguya, akatenda yakuisaka nsyene, aŵeje chile kusauka kwa kulitwika nsalaba wakwe kwaligongo lyangu une ni kuunguya.
And calling together the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone chooses to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe nsyene, chaujase. Nambo, jwalijose jwakuujasa umi wakwe, kwaligongo lyangu une, ni sooni kwaligongo lya Ngani Jambone, chaukulupusye.
For whoever will have chosen to save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life, for my sake and for the Gospel, shall save it.
36 Ana mundu chapate chichi achikolaga chipanje chose cha pachilambo ni kwasa umi wakwe wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?
For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, and yet causes harm to his soul?
37 Pane mundu chatyosye chichi kuti auusye umi wakwe wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?
Or, what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Mundu jwalijose angolelaga soni une pamo ni ngani jangu mu uŵelesi wu wangalumbana ni wangaajogopa Akunnungu, Mwana jwa Mundu chankolele soni mundu jo, katema kachaiche mu ukulu wa Atati ŵakwe, pamo ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵaswela.”
For whoever has been ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he will arrive in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels.”
