Makko 8
1 Kumazuba ayo, kwakaba alubo bantu bayingi loko, alimwi kabatajisi nekuba chakulya. Jesu wakayita basikwiya bakwe mpawo wakati kulimbabo,
In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,
2 “Ndamvwa lweetelelo amakani nkaambo bakendelela kunembo kabali ambebo kale kwamazuba otatwe alimwi kabatakwe nchebakalya.
I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,
3 Na ndabambila kuti kabaya kumyuunzi yabo katakwe nchebalya, bayoowizuka munzila. Bamwi babo bazwa musinzo mulamfu”.
and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.
4 Basikwiiya bakwe bakamusandula, “Nkukuli nkotuyojana chinkwa chizulide mubusena buyuminide buyokkutya bantu aba?”
And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?
5 Wakababuzya, “Mujisi zinkwa zyongane?” Bakamba kuti, “Musanu azibili”.
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Wakalayilila makamu kuti akkale ansi. Wakabweza zinkwa musanu azibili, wakapa kulumba alimwi wakazikwamuna. Wakapa basikwiiya bakwe kuti babikke kunembo lyabo, alimwi bakabikka kunembo lyamakamu.
And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.
7 Aboobo bakala answi ziche, nakamana kupa kulumbila mbabo, wakalayilila basikwiiya kuti baabe azezi lubo.
And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].
8 Bakalya pele bakakkuta, pele bakabwezazelela bufwefwelenga bwakachala, insuwo mpati zilimusanu azibili.
And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.
9 Kwakachibe zyuulu zyoone zyabantu.
And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 Mpawo wakabatuma kuti beende. Nibakamana bakanjila mubwaato abasikwiiya bakwe, alimwi bakaya kuchisi chaku Dayimanuta.
And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Mpawo baFalisi bakasika anze kumukanza. Bakakumbila zitondezyo zyakujulu, kuti bamusunke.
And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Wakagamba kapati wayoyela mukati wamba wati, “Nkambonzi izyalane eli niliyandula zitondezyo? Nchobeni ndamwambila kuti, takwe chitondezyo nchiyopegwa kuzyalane eli”.
And groaning in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, A sign shall in no wise be given to this generation.
13 Mpawo wakabasiya, wabweeda mubwaato lubo, akwiinka kulubazu lumbi.
And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.
14 Lino basikwiiya bakaluba kubweza chinkwa beni. Tebakachilikwe chinkwa nikuba chomwe mubwaato.
And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.
15 Wakabalayilila wakati, “Mube akulangila alimwi muchenjele kubumena bwama Falisi akubumena bwa Heloda”.
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 Basikwiiya bakabonisyana umwi awumwi, “Nkambo kakuti tatukwe chinkwa”.
And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.
17 Jesu wakaziziba ezi, wakati kuli mbabo, “Nkambonzi nimulikubonisyana akubula chinkwa? Sa tamuna kubona? Sa tamuna kumvwisya? Sa myoyo yanu ichilimiyumu?
And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?
18 Mula ameso, tamuboni na? Mulamatwi, tamumvwi na? Sa tamuyeyi?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 Nindaka kwamuna zinkwa zilimusanu mumwelwe wamusanu wazyuulu, nzingane nsuwo zyakazwide zyabufwefwelenga bwazinkwa nzimwakabwezelela? Bakati kulinguwe, “Ikkumi azibili.
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “Nindakakwamuna zinkwa zilimusanu azibili mumwele wazyuulu zine, nzingane nsuwo zyabufwefwelenga bwazinkwa nzemwakabweza?” Bakati kulinguwe, “Musanu azibili”.
And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Wakati, “Sa tamunakumvwisya na?”
And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?
22 Bakasika kuBetisayida. Bantu bankuko bakamwetela umwi mwalumi mofu alimwi bakakumbila Jesu kuti amugume.
And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.
23 Jesu wakajata mwalumi mofu ajanza, akumutola kumbali agunzi. Nakasikaswida aansi wakanda bulongo wakamunanika kumeso akwe akumubikka janza lyakwe, wakamubuzya, “Kuli nchwabona na?”
And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.
24 Wakalanga kujulu wakati, Ndabona balumi balangika anga minsamu ilokweenda.
And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.
25 Alimwi wakabikka lubo maanza atala ameso akwe, aboobo mwalumi wakabona, meso akwe akabweda, akubona zintu zyoonse chaantanganana.
Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.
26 Jesu wakamutuma wakati koya kumunzi wanu, “Utakunjili mudolopo”.
And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village.
27 Jesu wakiinka abasikwiiya bakwe mugunzi lyaKayisala Filipo. Kabachili munzila wakabuzya basikwiiya bakwe, “Bantu bandamba kuti ndimeni?”
And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?
28 Bakamusandula bakati, “Joni muBbizyi. Bamwi baamba kuti Eliya, abamwi, nduwe umwi wabasinsimi”.
And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.
29 Wakababuzya, “Pele nywebo mundamba kuti ndimeni?” Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Nduwe Kilisito”
And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Jesu wakabachenjezya kuti batambili nikuba umwi atala anguwe.
And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.
31 Wakasanguna kubayiisya atala akuti Mwana Muntu uyofwabisigwa muzintu zyingi, alimwi uyokukakwa abapati akuba payizi bami akubalembi, akuyojayigwa, pele mumazuba atatu uyobuka.
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again].
32 Wakamba makani aya chaantanganana. Mpawo Pita wakamutola kumbali akumukalalila
And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.
33 Pele Jesu wakachebuka akulanga basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wakakalalila Pita wakati, “Kozwa kusule lyangu, Satani! Tubikkide miyeyo yako kuzintu zya-Leza, pele kuzintu zyabantu”.
But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
34 Mpawo wakayita makamu abasikwiiya antoomwe, wakabambila kuti, “Na kulumwi uyanda kunditobela welede kulitakata lwakwe mwini, abweze chingano chakwe, akunditobela
And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
35 Kufumbwa uyanda kufutula buumi bwakwe uyobuswekelwa, ayoyo usweekelwa bumi bwakwe akuyanda kwangu akujwi lyangu uyobujana.
For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.
36 Nimpindunzi njajana muntu kukuvuba nyika yoonse alimwi akuyoswekelwa buumi bwakwe?
For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
37 Nchili muntu nchakonzya kupa kwinda buumi bwakwe?
for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Kufumbwa ufwa nsoni akaambo kangu amajwi angu muchibaka chamamambe achibi chazyalane, Mwana aMuntu uyowusigwa nsoni anguwe nakusika mubulemu bwaWisi antoomwe abangelo basalala”.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
