< Matthew 17 >

1 After six days, Yeshua took with him Kipha, Yaquv, and Yukhanan his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Nikwakayinda mazuba aali musanu abumwi Jesu wakabweza Pita, Jemusi a Joni mwanike wakwe, akubatola atala achilundu chilamfu abalikke.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Wakasanduka kunembo lyabo. Busyu bwakwe bwakabalama mbuli zuba, azisamo zyakwe zyakaba mbuli mumuuni.
3 And look, Mushe and Eliya appeared to them talking with him.
Amubone kwakaboneka Mozesi a Elija balaambula awe.
4 Kipha answered, and said to Yeshua, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Mushe, and one for Eliya."
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 was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
Elyo kachili mukwambula, amubone, ijoba libalaama lyakabavumba, mpawo amubone, kwakazwa ijwi mujoba, lyakati, “Ngoyu Mwanangu ngundiyandisya, muli nguwe mundibotelwa. Amuswilile nguwe.”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Lino basikwiya nibakalimvbwa, bakavundaama aansi, akuyowa loko.
7 Yeshua came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Mpawo Jesu wakaza, akubaguma akwamba kuti, “Mubuke mutayowi.”
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua alone.
Mpawo bakalanga kujulu pesi takwe ngubakabona kunze kwa Jesu luzutu.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Lino nibakali kuseluka achilundu, Jesu wakabalayilila, wati, mutambili muntu chilengano eechi kusikila mwana amuntu akabuke kubafu.”
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Eliya must come first?"
Basikwiya bakwe bakamubuzya, bati, ino nkamboonzi balembi bamulawu balaamba kuti Elija welede kusanguna kuza?”
11 And he answered and said, "Eliya indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Jesu wakasandula wati, “Elayija nchoonzyo uleza akubukulusya zintu zyoonse.
12 but I tell you that Eliya has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by 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 spoke to them of Yukhanan the Baptist.
Mpawo basikwiya bakamvwa kuti wakalikwambambuula ambabo atala a Joni Mubbabbatizyi.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
Eelyo nibakasika kunkamu, mwalumi wakaza kulinguwe, wafugama kunembo lyakwe akwamba,
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
“Mwami, komufwida luzyalo mwanawangu, mbuli mbwali sichisuntu ulokufwaba loko. Nkambo ukkala kawida mumulilo na mumaanzi.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Ndali mwetede kuli basikwiya bako, pesi tebamuponia pe.”
17 Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Jesu wakavwiila akwamba kuti, “Izyalane litasyomi akukakatila, ndiyooba achiindi chilamfu biyeni kandikkede andinywe? Ndiyoba andinywe kusika lili? Mumweete okuno kuli ndime.”
18 Yeshua rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jesu wakalayilila dimoni, mpawo lyakazwa mulinguwe, amulombe wakaponesegwa kuzwa muhola eelyo.
19 Then the disciples came to Yeshua privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Mpawo basikwiiya bakeza kuli Jesu kumbali akwaamb, Nkaambonzi nitwakachilwa kulitandila aanze?”
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for 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.”
Malembe mabotu achindi tajisi pe. Pesi oyu musyobo wadimoni tuyendi akuzwa kunze kwakukomba akulyiimya.
22 While they were gathering together in Galila, Yeshua said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Kabachikede mu Galili, Jesu wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Mwana amuntu uyopegwa mumanza abantu,
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
alimwi bayomujaya, amubuzuba bwatatu uyobusigwa.” Basikwiya bakawusa kapati.
24 When they had come to Kepharnakhum, those who collected the zuzeen coins came to Kipha, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the zuzeen?"
Elyo nibakasika ku Kapenawuma, ibalumi ibakabweza zipanzi zibili zyamali yamutelo bakaza kuli Pita akwamba, “Sa muyiisi wanu tagwisyi zipanzi zyamali yamutelo?
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Yeshua anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Shimon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from 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 And when he said, "From strangers." Yeshua said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Pita mpaakati, “kuzwa kubeenzu,” Jesu wakati kulinguwe, Pita wakasandula. “Lino bana bangununwa,” Jesu wakaamba.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the lake, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
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.
