< Maliko 9 >

1 Che Yesu ŵapundile kwasalila, “Isyene ngunsalila, apali ŵandu ŵane papapa chiŵaone Akunnungu achitawalaga ni machili kwa matala gakupisyangana akanaŵe kuwa.”
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
2 Pagapite moŵa nsano ni limo, Che Yesu ŵaajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni Che Yohana, ŵalongene nawo pa chitumbi cheleu pajikape. Kweleko ku meeso ku Che Yesu kwagalawiche paujo pao.
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 Iwalo yakwe yaliji yeswela mbee yanti mundu jwalijose jwa pachilambo pano ngakupakombola kuswejesya chanti yeleyo.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Nipele, che Elia ni che Musa ŵakopochele paujo pao ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Che Petulo ŵasalile Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, ikaliji yambone kuti uwe tutame panopano. Tutaŵe masakasa gatatu, limo lyenu ni limo li che Musa ni liine li che Elia.”
Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Che Petulo nganachimanya chakuŵecheta pakuŵa wose ŵajogwepe kwannope.
For he did not know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Nipele, lyakopochele liunde ni kwaunichila, liloŵe lyakopochele mu liunde lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu jungunnonyela, mumpilikanile jwelejo.”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵalolite akuno ni akunokuno, nambo nganambona mundu jwine ikaŵe Che Yesu pe.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 Paŵatulukaga pa chitumbi, Che Yesu ŵakanyisye ŵanyawo kuti yele iŵaiweni akansalila mundu jwalijose mpaka Mwana jwa Mundu pachachisyuka.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵagakamulichisye maloŵe go, nambo ŵaliji nkuusyana achinsyene pe, “Kusyuka malumbo gakwe chichi?”
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Nipele, ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana kwachichi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo akusala kuti, chaiche kaje Che Elia?”
They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, che Elia chaiche kaje kukuŵika chile indu yose. Nambi kwachichi ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti, Mwana jwa Mundu chasauche kwannope ni kukanikwa?
He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
13 Nambo une ngunsalila, che Elia ŵamasile kwika ni ŵandu ŵampanganyichisye chachilichose chiŵasachile, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti kusala nkati ŵelewo.”
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 Che Yesu ni aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵatatu paŵaaichilile ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala, ŵaweni ŵandu ŵajinji ali ŵasyungwile achikanilanaga ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Papopo, ŵandu wose paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵasimosile kwannope, ŵautuchile kukwakomasya.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana nkukanilana nawo ichichi?”
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Mundu jumo mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, nannyichenawo mwanangu kukwenu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka lyalikuntendekasya anakombole kuŵecheta.
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 Katema kose lisoka palikunjinjila, likungwisya paasi ni likuntendekasya mwanache jo chikopoche chiulo nkang'wa, achichilimyaga meeno ni kukakamala chiilu. Naaŵendile ŵakulijiganya ŵenu alikoposye, nambo ŵalepele.”
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”
19 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mwanya uŵelesi wangali chikulupi! Ana chindame ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Chinampililile mpaka chakachi? Munyichisye mwanache jo.”
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Ŵannyichisye ku Che Yesu. Lisoka palyambweni Che Yesu, papopo lyantasile njilinjili jwanchanda jo, nombe ŵagwile paasi, ŵagalagete akuno alinkukopoka chiulo kukang'wa.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 Che Yesu ŵammusisye atatigwe jwanchanda jo, “Jwanchanda ju yatandite chakachi yelei?” Ŵajanjile, “Chitandile wanache wakwe.
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Katema kakajinji lisoka lyo lyangwisyaga pa mooto ni mmeesi kuti lyaulaje. Nambo iŵaga nkukombola kutendekanya chachilichose, ntukolele chanasa ni kutukamusya!”
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Kwachichi nkuti, ‘Iŵaga ngukombola’? Yose ikukomboleka kwa mundu jwakukulupilila.”
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Papopo atatigwe jwanchanda jo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngukulupilila! Nambo chikulupi changu chili chamwana, mungamuchisye ngole chikulupi chachikulungwa.”
Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 Che Yesu paŵaweni kuti ŵandu ŵajinji ali nkusongangana paujo pao, walijamwiche lisoka lila ni kulisalila, “Mmwe lisoka linkulekasya kuŵecheta ni kupilikana, ngunlamula nkopoche mwa jwanchanda ju, ni nkajinjila sooni.”
When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
26 Pelepo lisoka lyanyanyisye, lyangwisisye njilinjili jwanchanda jo ni lyankopweche. Jwanchanda jwaoneche mpela jwammwe, ni ŵandu ŵane ŵatite “Awile!”
After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 Nambo Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono jwanchanda jo, ŵankamwisye ajimuche, nombejo ŵajimi.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye pajika, “Kwachichi twalepele kulikoposya lisoka lyo?”
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast it out?”
29 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Lisoka lyanti yelei ngalikukopoka kwa litala lyalililyose ikaŵe kwa kwapopelela Akunnungu pe.”
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatyosile peuto pala, ni ŵajendelechele ni ulendo kupitila ku chilambo cha ku Galilaya. Nganasaka mundu jwalijose akumanye kuŵaliji,
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it,
31 pakuŵa ŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu chaŵichikwe mmakono mwa ŵandu, nombewo chammbulaje. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chiulajikwa pe chasyuche.”
for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe go, ni ŵajogwepe kumbusya.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Paŵaiche musi wa ku Kapelenaumu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba, nombe Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana mwitala mula mwakanilanaga ichichi?”
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele, pakuŵa paŵaliji mwitala mula, ŵaliji nkukanilana yankati nduni jwali jwankulungwa mwa ŵanyawo.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Che Yesu ŵatemi paasi, ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu akusachilwa alitulusye ni kuŵa jwannandi ni katumetume jwa wose.”
He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Sooni ŵanjigele mwanache ni kunjimika pasikati jao, ŵanjangete ni kwasalila,
He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Jwalijose jwakumpochela mwanache mpela aju mu liina lyangu, akuumbochela une, ni mundu jwakuumbochela une akwapochela ŵelewo ŵandumile une.”
“Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 Che Yohana ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, twammweni mundu ali nkugakoposya masoka mu liina lyenu, ni twankanyisye ligongo nganaŵa njetu.”
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Kasimunkanya, pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya yakusimonjeka kwa liina lyangu ni papopo kumechetela gangalumbana.
But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 Ligongo mundu jwalijose jwangakutukanila ali pamo ni uwe.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwakumpa ngao wa meesi ga kung'wa, ligongo mwanya ndi ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito, isyene jwelejo chapochele mbote jakwe.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 “Mundu jwalijose juchantendekasye jumo jwa achanandi ŵa ŵakungulupilila une atende sambi, ikaliji yambone kwa jwelejo litaŵikwe liganga lyekulungwa lya kusyajila pa lukosi pao ni kwaponya mu bahali kupunda kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu.
“Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 Iŵaga nkono wenu ukunneŵasya, mmukate! Mmbaya kwinjila mu umi ni nkono umo, kupunda kuŵa ni makono gaŵili ni kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna (Geenna g1067), into the unquenchable fire,
44 Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Ni iŵaga lukongolo lwenu lukunneŵasya, mmukate! Mmbaya kwinjila mu umi ni lukongolo lumo kupunda kuŵa ni makongolo gaŵili ni kuponyekwa ku jehanamu pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
46 Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Iyoyo peyo iŵaga liso lyenu likunneŵasya, nlikolopole! Mbaya kwinjila ku umwenye wa Akunnungu ni liso limo kupunda kuŵa ni meeso gaŵili ni kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God's Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna (Geenna g1067) of fire,
48 Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 “Pakuŵa jwalijose chaachiswejeswa ni mooto mpela mbopesi ijikuti pakuswejeswa ni njete.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 “Njete jili jambone, nambo njete jasoyesyaga kulasa kwakwe, chintaje chichi kuti unonye wakwe uujile sooni? “Nkolanje njete ja uganja pasikati jenu, ntamanje mu chitendewele.”
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
