Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and his brother John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves,
Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne limo, Yesu walamantapo Petulo, Jemusi ne Yohane mukwabo, walatanta nabo pamulundu utali kwabonka.
2 and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light,
Lino cinso ca Yesu calasanduka kababona, cinso cakendi calabala tuu mbuli lisuba, ne byakufwala byakendi byalabeka mbee.
3 and behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking together with Him.
Popelapo Mose ne Eliya balabonekela kulyendibo kababandika ne Yesu.
4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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 is yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted; hear Him.”
Kacambeco likumbi lituba lyalesa kubafwekelela, umo mulikumbi mwalanyumfwika Liswi lyakwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni, mulyendiye ndakondwa, Kamumunyumfwilani.”
6 And the disciples having heard, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
Mpobalanyumfweco, beshikwiya basa balatina kwine, balawa panshi cakufulumana.
7 and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, “Rise, do not be afraid,”
Nomba Yesu walesa kubekata, ne kwambeti, “Pundukani kamutaba ne buyowa.”
8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
Nomba mpobalenamuka, paliya muntu ngobalabonapo sobwe, nsombi Yesu enka.
9 And as they are coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Say to no one the vision, until the Son of Man may rise out of the dead.”
Mpobalikuseluka pa mulundu usa Yesu walabambileti, “Mbyomulabono mucimbonimboni, kamutaya mwambileko uliyense, mpaka Mwana Muntu akapundushiwe kubafu.”
10 And His disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Beshikwiya basa balamwipusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ncobakute kwambileti, Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa?”
11 And Jesus answering said to them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and will restore all things,
Yesu walambeti, “Nicakubinga Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa kubamba bintu byonse.
12 and I say to you, Elijah already came, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by 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 spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.
Popelapo beshikwiya balenshibeti wambanga sha Yohane mubatishi.
14 And when they came to the multitude, there came to Him a man, kneeling down to Him,
Mpobalabwelela kusa kwalikuba likoto lyabantu, naumbi muntu walesa kusuntama kuli Yesu,
15 and saying, “Lord, deal kindly with my son, for he is [a] lunatic, and suffers miserably, for he often falls into the fire, and often 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 near to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
Ndanga ndesa nendi kuli beshikwiya benu aba, nomba balalilwa kumusengula.”
17 And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear you? Bring him to Me here”;
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 him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
Yesu walaukalalila mushimu waipa, popelapo walafuma mu mwana. Pacindi copeleco walaba cena.
19 Then the disciples having come to Jesus by Himself, said, “Why were we not able to cast him out?”
Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya balesa kuli Yesu pambali ne kumwipusheti, “Inga twalilwaconi afwe kupulisha mushimu waipa usa?”
20 And Jesus said to them, “Through your want of faith; for truly I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to 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 [[and this kind does not go forth except in prayer and fasting.”]]
“Kwambeti mupulishe mushimu wa mushobowu, mwelela nanshi kupaila ne kulikanisha kulya.”
22 And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Mpobalabungana beshikwiya bonse ku Galileya, Yesu walabambileti, “Mwana Muntu lenga mu makasa abantu,
23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will rise,” and they were exceedingly sorry.
betibakamushine Nsombi pabusuba wabutatu nakapundushiwe.” Beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweco, balongumana.
24 And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachmas came near to Peter and said, “Your teacher—does He not pay the didrachmas?” He says, “Yes.”
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 And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth—from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? From their sons or from the 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 says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free;
Petulo walambeti, “Kubensu,” Nendi Yesu walamwambileti, “Anu nanico bantu bamushobo wabo nkabelela kusonkako sobwe.
27 but that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that has come up first take up, and having opened its mouth, you will find a stater, that having taken, give to them for Me and you.”
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.”
