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, “Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God 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 Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them.
3 Iwalo yakwe yaliji yeswela mbee yanti mundu jwalijose jwa pachilambo pano ngakupakombola kuswejesya chanti yeleyo.
His garments became radiant and extremely white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth could whiten them.
4 Nipele, che Elia ni che Musa ŵakopochele paujo pao ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.
Then Elijah appeared to them with Moses, 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.”
So Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for yoʋ, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Che Petulo nganachimanya chakuŵecheta pakuŵa wose ŵajogwepe kwannope.
(For they were terrified, and he did not know what to say.)
7 Nipele, lyakopochele liunde ni kwaunichila, liloŵe lyakopochele mu liunde lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu jungunnonyela, mumpilikanile jwelejo.”
Then a cloud came and overshadowed them, and a voice came from 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.
And suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus.
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, Jesus ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵagakamulichisye maloŵe go, nambo ŵaliji nkuusyana achinsyene pe, “Kusyuka malumbo gakwe chichi?”
So they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Nipele, ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana kwachichi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo akusala kuti, chaiche kaje Che Elia?”
Then they asked him, “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 answered them, “Elijah does indeed come first to restore all things. How then is it written that the Son of Man 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.”
But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just 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.
When Jesus came back to the other disciples, he saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
15 Papopo, ŵandu wose paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵasimosile kwannope, ŵautuchile kukwakomasya.
When the whole crowd saw him, they were greatly amazed and immediately ran up and greeted him.
16 Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana nkukanilana nawo ichichi?”
Then he asked the scribes, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Mundu jumo mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, nannyichenawo mwanangu kukwenu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka lyalikuntendekasya anakombole kuŵecheta.
One man from among the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought yoʋ my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
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.”
Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked yoʋr disciples to cast it out, but they were not able to do so.”
19 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mwanya uŵelesi wangali chikulupi! Ana chindame ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Chinampililile mpaka chakachi? Munyichisye mwanache jo.”
Jesus answered him, “O faithless 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.
So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions, and he fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Che Yesu ŵammusisye atatigwe jwanchanda jo, “Jwanchanda ju yatandite chakachi yelei?” Ŵajanjile, “Chitandile wanache wakwe.
Then Jesus asked the boy's father, “How long has this been happening to him?” The father said, “From childhood.
22 Katema kakajinji lisoka lyo lyangwisyaga pa mooto ni mmeesi kuti lyaulaje. Nambo iŵaga nkukombola kutendekanya chachilichose, ntukolele chanasa ni kutukamusya!”
It often throws him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if yoʋ are able to do anything, help us and have compassion on us.”
23 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Kwachichi nkuti, ‘Iŵaga ngukombola’? Yose ikukomboleka kwa mundu jwakukulupilila.”
Jesus said to him, “The question is whether yoʋ are able to believe. All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Papopo atatigwe jwanchanda jo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngukulupilila! Nambo chikulupi changu chili chamwana, mungamuchisye ngole chikulupi chachikulungwa.”
Immediately the child's father cried out and said with tears, “I believe, Lord; 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 crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it, “Yoʋ spirit that makes this boy mute and deaf, I command yoʋ, 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, the spirit convulsed the boy greatly and came out, and the boy became as though he were dead, so that many 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 the boy arose.
28 Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye pajika, “Kwachichi twalepele kulikoposya lisoka lyo?”
Now when Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not 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 cannot come out by anything 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,
Then they went away from there and passed through Galilee, but Jesus 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 telling them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him. Yet after he has been killed, he will rise on the third day.”
32 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe go, ni ŵajogwepe kumbusya.
But they did not understand what this meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
33 Paŵaiche musi wa ku Kapelenaumu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba, nombe Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana mwitala mula mwakanilanaga ichichi?”
Then Jesus came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house, he asked the disciples, “What were you discussing 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, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about 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 Jesus sat down, called the twelve over, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and a servant to all.”
36 Sooni ŵanjigele mwanache ni kunjimika pasikati jao, ŵanjangete ni kwasalila,
Then he took a child and placed him before them. And taking the child 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 child such as this in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not 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 in response, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop 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 stop him, for no one who does a miracle in my name will be able to speak evil of me soon afterward.
40 Ligongo mundu jwalijose jwangakutukanila ali pamo ni uwe.
For whoever 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.
Truly I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will certainly not 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.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, 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)
If yoʋr hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, 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 yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell, 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 yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, tear it out. It is better for yoʋ to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell, (Geenna g1067)
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 it becomes unsalty, with what shall you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
