Luke 9
1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
Yesu walabunganya beshikwiya bakendi ne kubapa ngofu shakufunya mishimu yaipa ne kushilika malwashi.
2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Lino Yesu walabatuma kuya kukambauka sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa ne kushilika malwashi.
3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
Walabambileti, “Mutanyamunapo cintu nambi cimo mubulwendo bwenu, mutamanta inkoli, mukopa, cakulya, mali nambi byakufwala bibili.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
Mwakashika mung'anda moshi bakamutambule cena, mukekale mwepelomo kushikikila busuba mboti mukafume mumushi umo.
5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
Uko nkweshi bakabule kumutambula, pakufuma mumushi umo, mukalipampe lusuko kumyendo. Ici nicikabe cishibisho kuli endibo.”
6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Beshikwiya balenda muminshi yonse, kabaya akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ne kushilika malwashi kuli konse.
7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
Lino mwami Helode, mpwalanyumfwa byonse byalenshika, walapenga mumoyo pakwinga bantu bambi bali kabambeti, “Uyu ni Yohane lapunduku kufuma kubafu.”
8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
Bambi bali kabambeti, “Ni Eliya laboneke kayi, nabambi eti, ni umo wa bashinshimi bakulukulu lapunduku kubafu.”
9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
Helode walambeti, “Yohane ni usa ngondatimbula mutwi, nomba niyani uyu lenshinga bintu ibi mbyondanyumfunga?” Neco wali kayanda kubona Yesu uyo.
10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
Lino mpobabwelela batumwa balamwambila Yesu byonse mbyobalensa. Kufumapo Yesu walaya ne beshikwiya bakendi kuminshi yaku Betisaida.
11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfwa balamukonkela uko nkwalaya. Yesu walabatambula, neku bambila sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa, ne kushilika abo bali kabasuni kwambeti babe cena.
12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
Lisuba mpolyalikuba pepi kwibila, beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Kamubambilani bantu benga muminshi ne misena ili pepi balangole byakulya ne kwakona pakwinga kuno nikucisuwa.”
13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe mubape byakulya.” Beshikwiya bakumbuleti, “Tukute owa shinkwa usanu ne inswi shibili. Lino sena musuni kwambeti tuye tule byakulya byakwana bantu aba?”
14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Palikuba batuloba bonka bakwana 5,000. Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamwambilani bantu bekale mumakoto, likoto lya makumi ali asanu.”
15 They did so, and everyone was seated.
Beshikwiya balensa mbuli ncobalambilwa.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
Yesu walanyamuna shinkwa usanu ne Iswi shibili uto, walalanga kwilu ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona nekupa beshikwiya eti bayabile bantu.
17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Bantu bonse balalya nekwikuta. Nomba beshikwiya balabwesa byonse byalashalako ku bantu nekwisusha bitundu likumi ne bibili.
18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
Nabumbi busuba Yesu wali kapaila enka, beshikwiya bakendi naboyo balikuba pepi. Lino walabepusheti, “Sena bantu bangi balambangeti ame njame bani?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
Balo balakumbuleti, “Bambi balambangeti njamwe Yohane mubatishi. Kayi nabambi balambangeti njamwe Eliya. Kayi nabambi eti njamwe umo wabanshinshimi bakulukulu walapunduka kubafu.”
20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba amwe mukute kwambeti ame njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Njamwe Wananikwa wa Lesa.”
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
Nomba Yesu walakonkomesha beshikwiya kwambeti kabatambila muntu nambi umo makani aya.
22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
Kayi walambeti, “Mwana Muntu welela kupenshewa ne kukanwa ne bamakulene beshimilumbo ne bamakulene baba Yuda ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo nibakamukane. Nendi naka shinwe, nsombi busuba bwabutatu nakapunduke kubafu.”
23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
Kufumapo walambila bonseti, “Namuntu layandanga kunkonkela ame, welela kushiya nekusula bintu byonse busuba ne busuba kunyamuna lusanda lwakendi nekunkonkela.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
Pakwinga layandanga kupulusha buyumi bwakendi nakabutaye. Nomba uyo latayanga buyumi bwakendi pacebo ca njame, cakubinga nakabucane.
25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?
Nomba cainapo ni cani na muntu laba ne bintu byonse bili mucishi capanshi cino, nendi ubutaya buyumi bwakendi bwancinencine nambi kubononga?
26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Palico na muntu unyumfwa insoni pacebo ca maswi akame, neye Mwana Muntu nakamunyufwile insoni pakwisa mubulemu bwakendi ne mubulemu bwa Baishi nebwa bangelo bwaswepa.
27 But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti mpobali bambi pano beshi bakabule kufwa kabatana babona Bwami bwa Lesa.”
28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne atatu Yesu mpwalamba makani aya, walamanta Petulo ne Yohane ne Jemusi walaya pa mulundu kuya kupaila.
29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.
Lino mpwalikupaila, ciwa cakendi Yesu calasanduka ne byakufwala byakendi byalabemba tuu.
30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
Popelapo kwalaboneka batuloba babili Mose ne Eliya kabamba ne Yesu.
31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Balaboneka mubulemu bwa kwilu kayi kabambilana sha palufu lwa Yesu lwakuya kufwila ku Yelusalemu.
32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.
Lino Petulo ne abo mbwalikuba nabo balikuba mutulo. Nomba mpobalapunduka balabona bulemu bwa Yesu ne bantu babili bemana pepi nendiye.
33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
Pacindi mpwalikupansana nabo, Petulo walambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, cileni kwambeti tuli pano katwibaka mishasha itatu, umbi wenu, umbi wa Mose, umbi wa Eliya.” Petulo nkalikwishiba ncali kwamba.
34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Kacamba, kwalesa likumbi lyabafwekelela. Lino beshikwiya balatina.
35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
Lino mulikumbi umo mwalanyumfwika liswi lya kwambeti, “Uyu emwaname ndalamusala neco mumunyumfwile!”
36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
Lino maswi mpwalacileka kunyufwika, beshikwiya balabona Yesu lashala enka. Neco balamwena tonto, kufuma apo baliya kwambilapo muntu nambi umo mbuli ncobalabona.
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
Mumene mene Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi batatu balaseluka pa mulundu, nalyo likoto linene lyabantu lyalakumanina ne Yesu.
38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
Popelapo, muntu umbi wamulikoto ilyo walolobesheti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndamusengengeti munyumfwileko inkumbo uyu emwaname enka ngonkute.
39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
Ukute mushimu waipa na ulamwikata ukute kakuwa, kayi ne kunyukuma mpaka ufuma lipofu kumulomo. Kayi nkaukute kumulekapo mpaka umulingapo.
40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
Lino ndanga ndasenge beshikwiya benu eti baufunye, nomba balalilwa.”
41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ha! Bantu babula lushomo, mweshikupindimuna miyeyeyo, nomba ninjikale nenu cindi citali econi? Kamumuletani kuno mwana.”
42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Mwana uyo mpwalikuya kuli Yesu, mushimu waipa walamuwala panshi ne kumunyukumuna. Nendi Yesu walakalalila mushimu waipa ne kushilika mwana usa. Lino walamubwesha kuli baishi.
43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalabona ngofu shinene sha Lesa. Bantu kabacikankamana pa bintu ibyo mbyalensa, Yesu wabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
“Kamunyumfwishisha makani aya ngoti ndimwambile! ame Mwana Muntu ninkayabwe mumakasa abantu.”
45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Nsombi balo baliya kwinshiba ncalikwamba pakwinga calikuba casolama nomba baliyawa kwanyumfwishisha. Kayi balatina kumwipusha.
46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
Beshikwiya balatatika kupikishana kwambeti benshibe nomba mukulene niyani pakati pabo.
47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobali kabayeya mumyoyo, walamanta mwana nekumwikalika kulubasu lwakendi.
48 And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
Lino walabambileti, “Muntu uliyense welela kutambula mwana mbuli uyu mulina lyakame, latambulu ame. Muntu uliyense ukute kutambula ame latambulunga uyo walantuma, pakwinga uyo ngomwasula pakati penu emukulene.”
49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Lino Yohane walambeti, “Amwe beshikwiyisha, twabona muntu umbi nkafunya mishimu yaipa mulina lyenu, nomba twamukanisha pakwinga nte wa mulikoto lyetu.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Mutamukanisha, pakwinga uyo labulunga kutotekeshana nenjamwe uli kulubasu lwenu.”
51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
Lino mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti Yesu enga kwilu, walayeya kuya ku Yelesalemu.
52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
Walatuma batumwa kuntangu kwakendi abo balaya kuya kwingila mumunshi wa Samaliya kwambeti bamubambile busena.
53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
Bantu ba mumunshi uyo baliyawa kumutambula pakwinga walikaya ku Yelusalemu.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
Lino beshikwiya ba Yesu, Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalabona balambeti, “Mwami, sena nkatwela kwambeti tukuwe mulilo ufume kwilu wise wononge bantu aba?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
Yesu walacebuka ne kubakalalila beshikwiya.
56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.
Popelapo bonse balanyamuka balaya kumunshi umbi.
57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
Mpobalikuya munshila, muntu umbi walambila Yesu eti, “Nindimukonkelenga kuli konse nkweshi mwenganga.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Bamwaba bakute mishima, kayi ne bikeni bikute bisangala, lino Mwana Muntu liyawa pakona.”
59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walambila naumbi eti, “Unkokele.” Nsombi nendi muntu uyo walambeti, “Mwami tanshika munsuminishe njenga mbike bata.”
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Leka bafwa babike bafu banabo, nsombi obe koya ukambauke sha Bwami bwa Lesa.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
Naumbi muntu walambeti, “Nindimukonkele Mwami, lino tanguna nje ndaye kung'anda yakame.”
62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Muntu atatika kulima ne ngombe, kayi nkacebuku kunyuma, Lesa liya nendi incito mu Bwami bwakendi.”
