< Maliko 9 >

1 Che Yesu ŵapundile kwasalila, “Isyene ngunsalila, apali ŵandu ŵane papapa chiŵaone Akunnungu achitawalaga ni machili kwa matala gakupisyangana akanaŵe kuwa.”
And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present 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 Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of them;
3 Iwalo yakwe yaliji yeswela mbee yanti mundu jwalijose jwa pachilambo pano ngakupakombola kuswejesya chanti yeleyo.
His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
4 Nipele, che Elia ni che Musa ŵakopochele paujo pao ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.
And Elijah appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing 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.”
Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three shelters: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6 Che Petulo nganachimanya chakuŵecheta pakuŵa wose ŵajogwepe kwannope.
(Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
7 Nipele, lyakopochele liunde ni kwaunichila, liloŵe lyakopochele mu liunde lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu jungunnonyela, mumpilikanile jwelejo.”
With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to Him!”
8 Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵalolite akuno ni akunokuno, nambo nganambona mundu jwine ikaŵe Che Yesu pe.
And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 Paŵatulukaga pa chitumbi, Che Yesu ŵakanyisye ŵanyawo kuti yele iŵaiweni akansalila mundu jwalijose mpaka Mwana jwa Mundu pachachisyuka.
Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the Man had risen from the dead.
10 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵagakamulichisye maloŵe go, nambo ŵaliji nkuusyana achinsyene pe, “Kusyuka malumbo gakwe chichi?”
So they kept this word 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?”
And 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?
So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
13 Nambo une ngunsalila, che Elia ŵamasile kwika ni ŵandu ŵampanganyichisye chachilichose chiŵasachile, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti kusala nkati ŵelewo.”
Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, 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.
Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15 Papopo, ŵandu wose paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵasimosile kwannope, ŵautuchile kukwakomasya.
Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
16 Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana nkukanilana nawo ichichi?”
He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 Mundu jumo mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, nannyichenawo mwanangu kukwenu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka lyalikuntendekasya anakombole kuŵecheta.
In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought 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 and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.”
19 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mwanya uŵelesi wangali chikulupi! Ana chindame ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Chinampililile mpaka chakachi? Munyichisye mwanache jo.”
But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up 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.
So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth.
21 Che Yesu ŵammusisye atatigwe jwanchanda jo, “Jwanchanda ju yatandite chakachi yelei?” Ŵajanjile, “Chitandile wanache wakwe.
Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And 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!”
Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into 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, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one 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 and said, with tears, “Lord, 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 the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get 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!”
Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's dead.”
27 Nambo Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono jwanchanda jo, ŵankamwisye ajimuche, nombejo ŵajimi.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
28 Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye pajika, “Kwachichi twalepele kulikoposya lisoka lyo?”
Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't 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 except 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,
Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know;
31 pakuŵa ŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu chaŵichikwe mmakono mwa ŵandu, nombewo chammbulaje. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chiulajikwa pe chasyuche.”
because He was teaching His disciples and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on the third day.”
32 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe go, ni ŵajogwepe kumbusya.
But they were not understanding this information, yet 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?”
Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
34 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele, pakuŵa paŵaliji mwitala mula, ŵaliji nkukanilana yankati nduni jwali jwankulungwa mwa ŵanyawo.
But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
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.”
So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Sooni ŵanjigele mwanache ni kunjimika pasikati jao, ŵanjangete ni kwasalila,
Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him 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 child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”
38 Che Yohana ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, twammweni mundu ali nkugakoposya masoka mu liina lyenu, ni twankanyisye ligongo nganaŵa njetu.”
So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't 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, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.
40 Ligongo mundu jwalijose jwangakutukanila ali pamo ni uwe.
For he who is not against you is for you.
41 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwakumpa ngao wa meesi ga kung'wa, ligongo mwanya ndi ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito, isyene jwelejo chapochele mbote jakwe.
Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means 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 causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
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)
Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
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)
And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (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)
And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
48 Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.
where ‘the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 “Pakuŵa jwalijose chaachiswejeswa ni mooto mpela mbopesi ijikuti pakuswejeswa ni njete.
“Further, everyone will be seasoned 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 loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
