Matayo 17
1 Pagamasile moŵa sita, Che Yesu ŵajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana mpwao, ŵakwesile pamo nawo penani chitumbi cheleu, kweleko ŵaliji ŵanyapewo.
And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up into a high mountain apart:
2 Kweleko, Che Yesu ŵagalawiche uwoneche wakwe paujo pao, ku meeso kwao kwamelemendaga mpela lyuŵa ni iwalo yao yaliji yeswela mpela lulanga.
and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothing was white as the light.
3 Chisisimuchile che Musa ni che Elia ŵaakopochele, ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.
And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
4 Pelepo che Petulo ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje, yambone uwe kuŵa apano! Mwasakaga chindaŵe masakasa gatatu, limo lyenumwe ni line li che Musa ni line li che Elia.”
And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 Paŵaŵechetaga gelego, liunde lyeswela lyaunichile ŵanyawo, ni lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela mu liunde lila lichitiji, “Aju ali Mwanangu jungunnonyela, nonyelwe nawo, mumpilikanichisye jwelejo.”
While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo, a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight; hear him.
6 Ŵakulijiganya paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajogwepe nnope, ŵagwile manguku.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.
7 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaichilile, ŵakwayiye achitiji, “Njimuche, nkajogopa!”
And Jesus came and touched them, and said: Arise and be not afraid.
8 Paŵalolite kwinani nganammona mundu jwalijose akaŵe Che Yesu jika pe.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus.
9 Nipele, paŵatulukaga pa chitumbi po, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Kasimunsalila mundu jwalijose inyiweni ila, mpaka patachisyuka Mwana jwa Mundu kutyochela mu chiwa.”
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man has risen from the dead.
10 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵammusisye, “Kwachichi nambi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa akuti chaiche kaje che Elia?”
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Isyene, che Elia chaiche kaje ni kukolosya indu yose iŵe chile.
Jesus answered and said to them: Elijah, indeed, comes first, and he will restore all things.
12 Nambo ngunsalila, che Elia amasile kwika, nganammanyilila, nambo ŵantendele iŵasachile. Nombewo chachinnagasya Mwana jwa Mundu iyoyopeyo.”
But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him what they wished; so also shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.
13 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵangambaga che Yohana Ŵakubatisya.
Then, the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Immerser.
14 Paŵaiche sooni pa wele mpingo wa ŵandu ula, ŵaiche mundu jumo mmbujo pa Che Yesu ni kwatindiŵalila,
And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man who knelt to him,
15 ŵatite, “Ambuje, munkolele chanasa mwanangu pakuŵa akulwala njilinjili ni kulaga nnope, katema kakajinji akugwilila pa mooto pane mmeesi.
and said: Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Nannyichisye kwa ŵakulijiganya ŵenu, nambo nganakombola kunnamya.”
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to cure him.
17 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uŵelesi wangali chikulupi ni wakulyungasika, ana chime ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Mpaka chakachi chinampililile? Munjise nawo apano.”
Jesus answered and said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.
18 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalikalipile lisoka lila, nombelyo lyankopweche ni jwanchanda jula ŵalamile katema kakoko.
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him: and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵaichile Che Yesu kwa chisyepela ni kwausya, “Ligongo chi nganitukombola kulikoposya lisoka lila?”
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said: Why were we not able to cast him out?
20 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwa ligongo lya chikulupi chenu chachinandi. Ngunsalila isyene, mwaŵaga ni chikulupi atamuno chaŵaga chachinandi chisau mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali, chinkombole kuchisalila achi chitumbi chi, ‘Ntyoche apa njaule ako,’ nombecho chichityoche. Ngalipagwa liloŵe lyangalikombolecheka kukwenu.”
And Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed from this place to that, and it shall be removed: and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21 Nambo lisoka lyanti yele ngalikutyosyekwa ikaŵe kwa kupopela ni kutaŵa.
But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Ŵakulijiganya paŵaliji pamo ku Galilaya, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu akwaula kukutagwa mmakono ga ŵandu.
And as they were making their journey in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men;
23 Nombewo chachimmulaga, nambo chachisyuka pa lyuŵa lyaatatu.” Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵasongoneche nnope.
and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised again. And they were very sad.
24 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiche ku Kapelenaumu ŵandu ŵakukumbikanya nsongo wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaichilile che Petulo, ŵausisye, “Ana jwakwiganya jwenu akulipa nsongo wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu?”
And when they had come into Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma came to Peter, and said: Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?
25 Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Elo, akulipa.” Nipele, che Petulo paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, akanaŵe kuŵecheta liloŵe, Che Yesu ŵalongolele kummusya achitiji, “Che Simoni, mmwe nkuti uli? Mamwenye ŵa pa chilambo akukumbikanya nsongo atamuno ushulu kwa ŵandu chi? Kutyochela kwa achinsyene musi pane kwa achalendo?”
He said: Yes. And when he had come into the house, before he had spoken, Jesus said to him: What think you, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tax or tribute? From their own sons, or from the sons of others?
26 Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Kutyochela kwa achalendo.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nipele, iŵaga ili yeleyo, achinsyene musi wo ngakusachilwa kulipa.
Peter said to him: From the sons of others. Jesus said to him: Then are their own sons free.
27 Nambo tukaachima ŵandu ŵa. Njaule kulitanda nkaloposye, ni somba jandanda kutanjila pa ndowana, nkajiunukule kang'wa ni chinkasisimane mbiya sya nsongo. Njigale ni kwapa ligongo lyangune ni lyenu mmwe.”
But that we may give them no offense, go to the sea, and throw in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first; and when you have opened his mouth, you will find a stater; take that, and give to them for me and you.
