Maliko 8
1 Pa moŵa go, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wasongangene sooni. Pakuŵa nganakolanga chakulya, Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwasalila,
About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.
2 “Ngwakolela chanasa ŵandu ŵa, ligongo atemi none kwa moŵa gatatu ni nganakolanga chakulya.
"My heart yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now the third day they have remained with me, and they have nothing to eat.
3 Naalekaga ajaulangane mmangwao ni sala, komboleka chakomochanje mwitala, pakuŵa ŵampepe mwa ŵanyaŵa atyochele kwakutalika.”
If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance."
4 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵambusisye, “Patuli pano mwipululu, ana chitupate kwapi chakulya chakomboleka kwalisya ŵandu wose ŵa?”
"Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
5 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nkwete mikate jilingwa?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Saba.”
"How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said.
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.
So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.
7 Sooni ŵakwete tusomba kanandi. Che Yesu ŵaatogolele Akunnungu ni ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaagaŵile ŵandu.
They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.
8 Ŵandu ŵala ŵalile ni kwikuta. Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵakumbikenye sigasi ni ŵagumbesye itundu saba.
So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away--seven hampers of broken pieces.
9 Ŵandu ŵaŵalile ŵala ŵaliji mpela elufu nne. Nipele Che Yesu ŵalanjile,
The number fed were about 4,000. Then He sent them away,
10 papopo ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwaula chilambo cha ku Dalamanuta.
and at once going on board with His disciples He came into the district 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.
The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of Him.
12 Che Yesu ŵasupwiche nikuti, “Kwachichi ŵandu ŵa moŵa gano akusakanga chimanyisyo? Isyene ngunsalila, ŵandu ŵa ngaapegwa chimanyisyo chachilichose.”
Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, "Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day."
13 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalekangene nawo ŵandu ŵala, ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni kombochela peesi.
So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.
14 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ŵaliŵalile kwigala mikate, ŵakwete nkate umo pe mu ngalaŵa mula.
Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;
15 Che Yesu ŵaajamwiche achitiji, “Nlilolechesye, ni kuligosa ni amila ja Mafalisayo ni ja che Helode.”
and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,"
16 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵatandite kuŵechetesyana achinsyene pe, “Akuŵecheta yelei ligongo nganitukola mikate.”
they explained His words to one another by saying, "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?
He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
18 Meeso nkwete, ana ngankulolanga? Mapilikanilo nkwete, ana ngankupilikana? Ana ngankukumbuchila
You have eyes! can you not see? You have ears! can you not hear? and have you no memory?
19 panagaŵenye mikate nsano jila ni kwapa ŵandu elufu tano, mwagumbesye itundu ilingwa ya sigasi?” Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile, “Itundu kumi na mbili.”
When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?" "Twelve," they said.
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 for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?" "Seven," they answered.
21 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nganimme kumanyilila?”
"Do you not yet understand?" He said.
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 came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to 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?”
So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"
24 Mundu jwangalola jula ŵalolite nikuti, “Ngwaona ŵandu ali nkuoneka mpela itela ili nkwenda.”
He looked up and said, "I can see the people: I see them like trees--only walking."
25 Che Yesu ŵasajiche sooni makono gakwe mmeeso mwa jwangalola jula, nombejo ukombole wakwe wa kulola wammujilile.
Then for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.
26 Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo ajaule kumangwakwe ni kunkanya achitiji, “Nkaujila ku nsinda ni kwasalila ŵandu.”
So He sent him home, and added, "Do not even go into the village."
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?”
From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people 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.”
"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is 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 asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.
30 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajamwiche achitiji, “Ngasimunsalila mundu jwalijose chelechi nkati une.”
And He strictly forbad them to tell this about Him to any one.
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 now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile yelei pangasisa. Nipele che Petulo ŵanjigele Che Yesu pajika ni kutanda kwakalipila kuti anasale indu yo.
This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with 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.”
But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
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.
Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
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 is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.
36 Ana mundu chapate chichi achikolaga chipanje chose cha pachilambo ni kwasa umi wakwe wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?
Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 Pane mundu chatyosye chichi kuti auusye umi wakwe wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?
For what could a man give to buy back his life?
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.”
Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."
