Lukka 9
1 Wakiita bali kumi ababili mpawo wabapa nguzu anzumizyo aatala abadayimona boonse akuponia malwazi.
Then he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;
2 Wakabatuma kuyo kambawuka bwami bwa Leza akuyosilika bachiswa.
and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and heal the sick.
3 Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutabwezi chintu mulweendo lwenu, nuuba mufunko, niiba nkomo, nichiba chinkwa, nichiba chimbi chizwaato.
And he said to them. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.
4 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimutakakanjile, amukakkale mulinjiyo mane mukeende.
"Into whatever house you enter, there stay, and thence depart.
5 Kufumbwa nkubatakaleke kumutambula, nimwayoozwa mudolop eelyo muka kunkumune lusuko lwakumawulu aanu kunembo lyabo bukabe bukamboni kulimbabo.”
"If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, as a testimony against them."
6 Mpawo bakeenda biinda mum gunzi, kabayabwaambuula majwi mabotu akuyabuponia bantu koonse koonse.
So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
7 Lino Helodi naakamvwa aatala azyoonse zyakalikuchitika, wakali kataazya, nkaambo bamwi bakali kwaamba kuti Joni Mubbabbatizyi wakali wabuka kubafu,
Now Herod, the Tetrarch, heard of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas risen from the dead;
8 alimwi kwakali kutegwa Elija wakali kuboneka, akuti bamwi basinsimi biingi bakale bakali babuka.
and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
9 Helodi wakati, “Ndakamugonka mutwe Joni, mpo ngwani ooyu ngwelikumvwa aatala azeezi zintu?” Aboobo wakeezya kumubona.
So Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this of whom I am hearing such reports," And he kept seeking to see him.
10 Nibakabpoola batumwa, bakaambila Jesu zyoonse nzibakakuchita. Mpawo wakababweza, bakayinka kubusena bulikule kudolopo litegwa Bbetisayida.
On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Pesi makamu aabantu naakamvwa eezi akamutobela. Wakabatambula akwaambula kulimbabo aatala abwami bwa Leza, akuponia aabo bakalikuyanda kuponesegwa.
But when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.
12 lino buzuba sbwakali bwaamba kusika kumamanino, mpawo baikkumi ababili bakasika kulinguwe bati, “Wambila bantu aaba beende baye muma gunzi ali aafwiifwi bakayandule akoona achakulya, nkaambo ookuno nkutubede mbusena butakwe chintu pe.”
But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary place."
13 Pesi we wakati kulimbabo, “Amubape chakulya ndinywe.” Bakati, “Tujisi biyo zinkwa zilimusanu abaswi babili- kunze aakuti twiinke tukawulile bantu boonse aaba chakulya.”
"Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."
14 (Kwakali baluumi bakalikusika zyuulu zisanu.) Wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe “Amubaambile bakkale muzibunga zyamakkumi musanu.”
(For there were about five thousand men.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.
15 Aboobo bakachita mbubakaambilwa bakkazika bantu aansi.
This they did, and made them all sit down.
16 Wakabweza zinkwa zilimusanu abaswi babili, wakalanga kujulu, wakazilongezya mpawo wakazikwamuuna, mpawo wakapa kuli basikwiiya kuti baabile bantu.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.
17 Boonse bakalya bakuta, bufwefwelenga bwakabweezelelwa bwakachaala bwakali kuzuzya zisuwo zili kumi azibili
So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.
18 Chakasika chiindi chakuti Jesu wakalikukomba alike, basikwiiya bakali anguwe. Wakabuzya kuti, “Makamu aabantu ati ndimeeni?”
Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think I am?"
19 Bakasandula kuti, “Joni Mubbabbatizyi. Pesi bamwi bati Elija, mpawo bamwi bati umwi musinsimi wakale wakabuka.”
"Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."
20 Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Pesi nywe muti ndimeni?” Pita wakasandula kuti, “Munanike Kkilisito wa Leza.”
Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.’
21 Pesi wakabadidimizya chamanguzu kuti bataambili muntu pe,
Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any one;
22 kati, “Mwana wa Muntu welede kusyonsegwa kuzintu zyiingi akukakwa abapati, bapati babapayizi antoomwe abalembi bamulawu, mpawo uzojiigwa mpawo mubuzuba bwatatu uzobuka.”
and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again."
23 Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo boonse, “Na kwaba muntu uyanda kunditobela weelede alikake abweze chiingano chakwe abuzuba anditobele.
And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 Ooyo uyanda kutabilila buumi bwakwe uyoobuswekelwa, pesi ooyo uyoswekelwa buumi bwakwe nkaambo kandime uyoobubamba.
"For whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Niinzi chibotu kuti muntu ajane nyika yoonse, pesi akasweekelwe abumi bwakwe?
"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?
26 Ooyo uufwa bweeme nkaambo kangu amajwi aangu, alakwe Mwana wa Muntu uyofwa bweeme nayooza mubulemu bwakwe, bulemu bwa Wisi abangelo basalala.
"For whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Father’s glory, and in that of the holy angels.
27 Pesi ndatki kulindinywe nchobeni, kulibamvwi biimvwi aawa batayi kuyoomvwa lufu kabatana bona bwami bwa Leza.”
"But I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."
28 lino pmusule lyamazuba musanu aatatu Jesu kali waamba majwi aaya, wakabweza Pita a Joni a Jemusi mpawo wakatanta kalundu kuyookomba.
About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Nakali kukomba busyu bwakwe bwakasanduka, mpawo zisamo zyakwe zyakatuba chakwiindilizya.
And as he was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Mpawo amulange, baalumi bobile bakali kwaambula aawe, Mozesi a Elija,
And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 bakaboneka muchiimo chabulemu bupati. Bakali kwaambula aatala akwenda kwakwe, oko nkwakali walangila kweeta kumamanino mu Jelusalemu.
These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Lino Pita abaabo bakali aawe bakali fwide biya akoona, pesi nibakasinsimuka, bakabonuna bulemu bwakwe abaalumi bobile bakayimvwi aawe.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside him.
33 Aawo nibakali kuyobusosoloka kuzwa kuli Jesu, Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, nchibotu kulindiswe kuti katuli aano. Atuyake zitumba zyotatwe, chimwi chako, chimwi cha Mozesi, achimbi cha Elija” (taakwe nakezi nzyaakali kwaambuula).
And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he was saying.
34 Kachaambuula oobu, joba lyakasika lyabavumba, mpawo bakayoowa nibakanjila mujoba.
And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into the cloud.
35 Ijwi lyakamvwika mujoba kaliti, “Ooyu mwana wangu, uusalidwe; amumuswiilile.”
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."
36 Ijwi nilyakamana kwaambula Jesu waka chaala kali aalike. Bakawumuna alimwi taakwe ngubakaambila pe mumazuba aayo anzibakabona.
When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Likno mubuzuba bwakatobela, nibakaselela mukalundu, inkamu yabantu mpati yakamutambula.
It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet him;
38 Amulange umwi mwaalumi kuzwa munkamu wakoompolola, kati, “Muyiisyi, ndakombelela ulange mwana wangu, nkaambo ngomwana wangu alike.
and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,
39 Langa, muuya nga wamujata mpawo nga wasanguna kukwiila; zimupa kusuntuka mpawo nga wazwa fulu kumulomo. Tuufwaambani kumuleka pe alimwi umupa kuchubbuuka kapati.
"and behold a spirit seizes hold of him, and rudely he shouts out, It convulses him till he foams; indeed it will hardly leave off bruising him sorely.
40 Ndakumbila basikwiiya bako kuti bawutande pesi bakachilwa.”
"I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
41 Jesu wakasandula wati, “Nywebo nozyalane litasyomi, ndeelede kuba aandinywe kwachiindi chilamfu biyeni akukkala aandinywe? Yeta mwana wako aano.”
"O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."
42 Nakalikuyobuza mulombe ooyu, muuya wakamuwisizya aansi akumusuntula. Pesi Jesu wakawulayilila muuya mubi akumuponia, akumubwedezya kulo wisi.
But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Mpawo bakagamba abupati bwa Leza. Aawo kabachigamba boonse aali nzyakali wachita, wakati kulo basikwiiya bakwe,
And they were all awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, he said to his disciples.
44 “Aaya majwi ayelede kunjila loko mmatwi eenu: Mwana wa Muntu uzowabwa kumaanza abaalumi.”
"Let these words sink into your ears; for the son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."
45 Pesi tebakamvwisisisya nzyakalikwaamba. Zyakasiswa kuli mbabo, aboobo tebakaziba nchizyaamba. Alimwi bakayoowa kuti babuzye aatala amajwi aaya.
But they did not understand this saying; it was hidden from them so that they perceived it not, and they were sore afraid to ask him about his saying.
46 Mpawo kwakabuka kukazyania aatala akuti ngwani aakati kabo utaazobe mupati kwiinda bamwi.
Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 Pesi Jesu naakaziba zyakali mumyoyo yabo, wakabweza mwana muniini wamweeta kubbazu lyakwe
And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;
48 mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Ooyo uutambula mwana ooyu muzina lyangu, utambula ndime, ayooyo uutambula ndime, utambula ooyo wakandituma. Nkaambo ooyo muniini akati kenu ngonguwe mupati.”
then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is great."
49 Joni walkasandula wati, “Mwami, twabona umwi muntu kalikutanda madayimona muzina lyako pesi twamukasya, nkaambo takutobeli pe antoomwe andiswe.”
"Master," said John, "we saw a man who was casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
50 “Tamumukasyi pe,” Jesu wakasandula, “nkaambo ooyo uutamulwani nguwenu.”
But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 Nakaswemna mazuba akuti atolwe kujulu, wakabikka budyu bwakwe kuti baye ku Jelusalema.
When now when the time drew near for him to be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Wakatma batumwa kunembo lyakwe, bakayinka bakunjila mulilimwi kgunzi lyama Samaria kabamubambila zyoonse.
and sent messengers before him. These went and entered into a Samaritan village to make ready for him.
53 Pesi bantu bamugunzi eelyo tebakamutambula pe nkaambo wakalikutozya ku Jelusalema.
But they did not receive him because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.
54 Basikwiiya bakwe nibakachibona eechi, bakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, uyanda kuti twiite mulilo na kuzwa kujulu iunbanyonyoone boonse?”
And when his disciples, Jamesand John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.
55 Pesi wakabalanga wabakalalila,
But he turned and rebuked them and said,
56 mpawo kbakaya kulilimbi gunzi.
"You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 Kabayobweenda munzila, umwi muntu wakati, “Ndilakutobela koonse nkotakaye.”
As they were going on their way, a man came to him and said, "I will follow wherever you go."
58 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Baswumpe bali aabulyango, atuyuni twamujulu tuli azizoumbo, pesi mwana wamuntu takwe mpanga ulasegezya mutwe wakwe.”
"The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
59 Mpawo wakati kuli umwi, “Nditobele.” Pesi wakati, “Mwami, Ndizumine ndikavwike taata wangu sansi.”
To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father."
60 Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Leka bafu bavwikke bafunyina. Pesi webo, yinka ukakambawuke kule aatala abwami bwa Leza.”
"Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide the kingdom of God."
61 Mpawo umwi wakati, “Ndilakutobela, Mwami, pesi ndizumine ndooneke aabo bali amuunzi
And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."
62 wangu.”Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Taakwe uubikka kubo kwakwe
But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
