Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Nikwakayinda mazuba aali musanu abumwi Jesu wakabweza Pita, Jemusi a Joni mwanike wakwe, akubatola atala achilundu chilamfu abalikke.
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Wakasanduka kunembo lyabo. Busyu bwakwe bwakabalama mbuli zuba, azisamo zyakwe zyakaba mbuli mumuuni.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Amubone kwakaboneka Mozesi a Elija balaambula awe.
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.
Pita wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli Jesu, “Mwami, nchibotu kuli ndiswe kuti tube aano. Kuti koyanda, ndilakuchita matumba aatatu - chimwi chibe chako, achimwi chibe cha Mozesi, achimwi chibe cha Elayija.”
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.
Elyo kachili mukwambula, amubone, ijoba libalaama lyakabavumba, mpawo amubone, kwakazwa ijwi mujoba, lyakati, “Ngoyu Mwanangu ngundiyandisya, muli nguwe mundibotelwa. Amuswilile nguwe.”
6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Lino basikwiya nibakalimvbwa, bakavundaama aansi, akuyowa loko.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Mpawo Jesu wakaza, akubaguma akwamba kuti, “Mubuke mutayowi.”
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Mpawo bakalanga kujulu pesi takwe ngubakabona kunze kwa Jesu luzutu.
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.
Lino nibakali kuseluka achilundu, Jesu wakabalayilila, wati, mutambili muntu chilengano eechi kusikila mwana amuntu akabuke kubafu.”
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Basikwiya bakwe bakamubuzya, bati, ino nkamboonzi balembi bamulawu balaamba kuti Elija welede kusanguna kuza?”
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Jesu wakasandula wati, “Elayija nchoonzyo uleza akubukulusya zintu zyoonse.
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.
Lino ndamwambil, Elayija wakasika kale, pesi tebakamuziba pe. Kwinda kuchita nchibakali kuyanda kuli nguwe. Munzila njiiyo, Mwana amuntu uyofwaba mumaboko aabo.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Mpawo basikwiya bakamvwa kuti wakalikwambambuula ambabo atala a Joni Mubbabbatizyi.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Eelyo nibakasika kunkamu, mwalumi wakaza kulinguwe, wafugama kunembo lyakwe akwamba,
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.
“Mwami, komufwida luzyalo mwanawangu, mbuli mbwali sichisuntu ulokufwaba loko. Nkambo ukkala kawida mumulilo na mumaanzi.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Ndali mwetede kuli basikwiya bako, pesi tebamuponia pe.”
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.
Jesu wakavwiila akwamba kuti, “Izyalane litasyomi akukakatila, ndiyooba achiindi chilamfu biyeni kandikkede andinywe? Ndiyoba andinywe kusika lili? Mumweete okuno kuli ndime.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Jesu wakalayilila dimoni, mpawo lyakazwa mulinguwe, amulombe wakaponesegwa kuzwa muhola eelyo.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Mpawo basikwiiya bakeza kuli Jesu kumbali akwaamb, Nkaambonzi nitwakachilwa kulitandila aanze?”
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.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambo kalusyomo lwenu lunini. Nkambo ndamwambila kasimpe, kansyonga mulijisi lusyomo niluba lunini mbuli nseke yembuto yamusitada, nga ulambila chilundu eechi, Eenda kuzwa ano kuya okiiya, alimwi chiyoyeenda, takukwe chiyokachizya kuli nduwe.”
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Malembe mabotu achindi tajisi pe. Pesi oyu musyobo wadimoni tuyendi akuzwa kunze kwakukomba akulyiimya.
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Kabachikede mu Galili, Jesu wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Mwana amuntu uyopegwa mumanza abantu,
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
alimwi bayomujaya, amubuzuba bwatatu uyobusigwa.” Basikwiya bakawusa kapati.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Elyo nibakasika ku Kapenawuma, ibalumi ibakabweza zipanzi zibili zyamali yamutelo bakaza kuli Pita akwamba, “Sa muyiisi wanu tagwisyi zipanzi zyamali yamutelo?
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?
Wakati, “Iyii ulatela.” Pesi Pita nakanjila mungánda Jesu wakaamba wati kuli nguwe chakusanguna akuti, “Uyeyaanzi, Sayimoni? Kuzwa kuliini bami baansi nkubabweza mutelo na bulumbu? Kuzwa kubana baabo na nkubeenzu?”
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Pita mpaakati, “kuzwa kubeenzu,” Jesu wakati kulinguwe, Pita wakasandula. “Lino bana bangununwa,” Jesu wakaamba.
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.
Pesi kuti tutachiti basimutelo kuti bachite chibi, koya kulwizi, mukawaale kalobyo, akugwisya aanze inswi eyo itakazwe kutanguna. Na wajula mulomo wayo, ulajana Ishekkeli. Wibweze akwiipa basimutelo njiyangu ayako.
