Matthew 17
1 AND after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne limo, Yesu walamantapo Petulo, Jemusi ne Yohane mukwabo, walatanta nabo pamulundu utali kwabonka.
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Lino cinso ca Yesu calasanduka kababona, cinso cakendi calabala tuu mbuli lisuba, ne byakufwala byakendi byalabeka mbee.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Popelapo Mose ne Eliya balabonekela kulyendibo kababandika ne Yesu.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mpwalaboneco, Petulo walambila Yesu, kwambeti, “Nkambo, cilabacena kwambeti, mpotuli pano, anu na kamusuni, nitwibake mishasha itatu, umo wenu, naumbi wa Mose, naumbi ube wa Eliya.”
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Kacambeco likumbi lituba lyalesa kubafwekelela, umo mulikumbi mwalanyumfwika Liswi lyakwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni, mulyendiye ndakondwa, Kamumunyumfwilani.”
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Mpobalanyumfweco, beshikwiya basa balatina kwine, balawa panshi cakufulumana.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Nomba Yesu walesa kubekata, ne kwambeti, “Pundukani kamutaba ne buyowa.”
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Nomba mpobalenamuka, paliya muntu ngobalabonapo sobwe, nsombi Yesu enka.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Mpobalikuseluka pa mulundu usa Yesu walabambileti, “Mbyomulabono mucimbonimboni, kamutaya mwambileko uliyense, mpaka Mwana Muntu akapundushiwe kubafu.”
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Beshikwiya basa balamwipusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ncobakute kwambileti, Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa?”
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Yesu walambeti, “Nicakubinga Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa kubamba bintu byonse.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Nomba ndamwambilishingeti, Eliya walesa kendi, bantu ebabula kumwingashila, nsombi balamwinshila bintu byonse mbyobalikuyanda kulyendiye. Nicimo cimo Mwana Muntu nendi nibakamupenshe.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Popelapo beshikwiya balenshibeti wambanga sha Yohane mubatishi.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Mpobalabwelela kusa kwalikuba likoto lyabantu, naumbi muntu walesa kusuntama kuli Yesu,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
walambeti, “Nkambo kamumunyumfwilako nkumbo, mwaname ukute bulwashi bwa kashita, lapenge, cindi conse ukute kuwila pamulilo, ne pamenshi.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Ndanga ndesa nendi kuli beshikwiya benu aba, nomba balalilwa kumusengula.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Yesu walambeti, “Ha! Amwe musemano wa bantu babula lushomo, bamiyeyo yalunkanwa, ninjikale nenu kushika cindi cini sena? Ndelela kulishishibisha kushika cindi citali cilyeconi sena? Kamumuletani kuno uyo mwana.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Yesu walaukalalila mushimu waipa, popelapo walafuma mu mwana. Pacindi copeleco walaba cena.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya balesa kuli Yesu pambali ne kumwipusheti, “Inga twalilwaconi afwe kupulisha mushimu waipa usa?”
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cebo cakendi ni cakwambeti lushomo lwenu nilung'ana, cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, nambi lushomo lwenu kaluli nilung'ana mbuli kambuto ka katondo ka masitadi, nimukambile mulundu uwu eti, ‘Fumapa, koya uko,’ Mulunduwo nukafumepo, paliya cintu ceshi cikamwalilenga pimbi.”
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
“Kwambeti mupulishe mushimu wa mushobowu, mwelela nanshi kupaila ne kulikanisha kulya.”
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Mpobalabungana beshikwiya bonse ku Galileya, Yesu walabambileti, “Mwana Muntu lenga mu makasa abantu,
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
betibakamushine Nsombi pabusuba wabutatu nakapundushiwe.” Beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweco, balongumana.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalashika ku Kapelenawo, beshikusonkesha musonko wa Ng'anda ya Lesa, balamwipusha Petulo, “Sena Shikwiyisha wenu Yesu, nkakute kusonkako musonko waku Ng'anda ya Lesa?”
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Nendi Petulo walambeti, “Ee, ukute kusonka.” Lino Petulo mpwalengila mung'anda katanamba ciliconse. Yesu walamwipusheti, “Obe Shimoni ulayeyenga cani? Inga bami bapano pacishi bakute kutambula misonko kufuma kuli bani,” Kubantu bamushobo wabo, nambi bensu?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Petulo walambeti, “Kubensu,” Nendi Yesu walamwambileti, “Anu nanico bantu bamushobo wabo nkabelela kusonkako sobwe.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Nomba kwambeti, katutabapesha nsoni baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, koya kulwenje kuya kulobola. Luswi ndoti utangune kulobola ulucenamune mulomo, nucanemo lyali, Ulimante uye usonke, kayi ne njame uye unsonkeleko.”
