< Luke 9 >

1 Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to heal diseases,
Yesu kawashemiti wantumini lilongu na awili pamuhera na kuwayupa makakala na uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera woseri na kuponiziya malweri.
2 and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Shakapanu kawatumiti wegendi wakabweri visoweru vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu na kuwaponiziya walweli,
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, no knapsack, no bread, no money—and bring only one tunic each.
kayi kawagambira, “Munjira mwamgenda namtola shintu shoseri, namtola lukongoshu ama muhaku, namtola shiboga ama mpiya, ama lishati lya shigibakiru.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that place.
Poseri pawawashemerani, mwikali mnumba ilii mpaka pamuwuka muisi ilii,
5 If any will not receive you, shake off the very dust from your feet as you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
viraa vilii wantu pawalema kuwashemerani mwenga, mwuki mlushi alu na mpukuti lidika lya litapaka mumagulu mwenu haiweri likalipiru kwawomberi.”
6 So they set out and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Su wantumintumi wanja mwanja kugenda muvijiji vyoseri, pawabwera visoweru viwagila na kuwaponiziya wantu kila pahala.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that Jesus was doing, and he was greatly perplexed, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
Mtuwa Herodi mkolamlima gwa Galilaya, kapikaniriti goseri aga gagalawiriti, su gamupunganikiti nentu toziya wantu wamonga watakuliti kuwera Yohani Mbatiza kazyuka.
8 others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and others were saying that one of the ancient prophets had risen.
Wamonga watakuliti kuwera Eliya kalawira na wamonga walonga kuwera yumu gwa wambuyi wa makashu wa Mlungu kazyuka.
9 But Herod said, “John I beheaded; who then is this man about whom I hear such things?” So he was looking for an opportunity to see him.
Herodi kalonga, “Yohani numdumuliti mtuwi, muntu ayu yampikanira ndo gaa?” Su kendereyiti kumsakula Yesu.
10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus about all they had done. Then he took them and withdrew privately to a desolate place belonging to a town called Bethsaida.
Wantumintumi walii pawawuyiti, wamgambiriti Yesu vyoseri vyawatenditi. Yesu kawatola, wagenda gwekayawu lushi lwawalushema Betisayida.
11 But when the crowds found out about it, they followed him. So he welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.
Kumbiti lipinga lya wantu pawavimaniti kala aga, wamgenderiti. Yesu kawashemera na kayoweriti nawa visoweru viwagila vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu na kuwaponiziya woseri wawafiriti kuponiziwa.
12 As the day began to draw to a close, the twelve came up and said to Jesus, “Send the crowd away so that they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and provisions, for we are in a desolate place here.”
Mshenji paguweriti gwankuzyeta, wantumini lilongu na awili wamgenderiti na kulonga, “Guwagambiri wantu wagendi, kuvijiji na mumalambu ga pakwegera wakasakuli shiboga pamuwera na pahala pakugonja, toziya pahala panu patuwera pantundu.”
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have only five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for this entire group of people.”
Kumbiti Yesu kawagambira, “Mwenga muwapanani shintu sha kuliya.” Womberi walonga, “Twana mabumunda mhanu na wasomba awili hera. Gufira twenga tugendi twakawahemeleri shiboga lipinga lya wantu woseri awa?”
14 (For there were about five thousand men.) Then he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of fifty each.”
Wapalu hera yawaweriti palii, waweriti gambira elufu muhanu hangu. Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Muwagambiri walivagi vipinga vipinga vya malongu muhanu.”
15 The disciples did so, and had everyone sit down.
Su wafundwa pawatenditi kala ntambu yakawagambiriti,
16 Then Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
Yesu katola mabumunda muhanu galii na wasomba awili, kaloliti kumpindi na kalonga mayagashii Mlungu, kagamega kawapanana wafundwa wakuwi wawagawili wantu.
17 They all ate and were filled, and what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
Wantu waliya mpaka wikuta na wantumintumi wasola majamanda lilongu na mawili ga vilii vyavisigaliti.
18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti kankuluwa Mlungu gweka yakuwi, wafundwa wakuwi wamwizira. Su Yesu kawakosiya, “Wantu walonga neni nagaa?”
19 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that one of the ancient prophets has risen.”
Womberi wamwankula, “Wamonga walonga gwenga gwa Yohani Mbatiza na wamonga walonga gwenga gwa Eliya na wamonga walonga gwenga gwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu gwa makashu yakahowiti vinu kazyuka.”
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Su nayomberi kawakosiya, “Hashi, mwenga mlonga neni nagaa?” Peteru kamwankula, “Gwenga gwa Kristu Mlopoziya yagulagaliritwi na Mlungu.”
21 Jesus then warned them and instructed them to tell this to no one,
Shakapanu Yesu kawalagalira pakalonga nawamgambira muntu yoseri shisoweru ashi.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and he must be killed and on the third day rise again.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu mpaka katabiki na kulemwa na wazewi na watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa Malagaliru. Hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Na kawagambira woseri, “Muntu yoseri pakafira kaweri na neni, mpaka kalilemi mweni, katoli lupingika lwakuwi mashaka goseri na kanfati.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Muntu yoseri yakafira kugaponiziya makaliru gakuwi hakagamili na yoseri yakagamiziya ukomu wakuwi kwa kunfata neni hakagalopoziyi.
25 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
Hashi, kwana mbotu gaa muntu pakapata vintu vyoseri vya pasipanu, kumbiti mweni pakagamila? Yina ndiri!
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 the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
Muntu pakamonera soni neni pamuhera na mafundu gangu, Mwana gwa Muntu hakamwoneri soni muntu ayu shipindi pakiza muukwisa wakuwi na ukwisa wa Tati na ukwisa wa wantumintumi wananagala wa kumpindi.
27 But truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
Nukugambirani nakaka, kwana wamonga palaa panu hapeni wahowi mpaka wauwoni Ufalumi wa Mlungu.”
28 About eight days after he had spoken these words, he took Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
Palipititi lijuwa kwanjira pakalongiti galiya, Yesu kawatoliti Peteru, na Yohani na Yakobu, kagenditi nawomberi mpaka kulugongu kuluwa Mlungu.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.
Pakaweriti kankumluwa Mlungu, nshimba yakuwi igalambuka na nguwu zyakuwi ziwera neru mbuu.
30 And behold, two men were talking with him; they were Moses and Elijah,
Palaa paliya wantu awili waweriti paliya wankuyowera nayomberi. Wantu walii waweriti Musa na Eliya,
31 who appeared in glory and were speaking about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem.
yawalawiriti muukwisa wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, waweriti wankuyowera na Yesu ntambu yakugumalilira mpangu gwa Mlungu gwa kuhowa kwakuwi kulii Yerusalemu.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
Peteru na wayaguwi waweriti wankugonja, kumbiti wimukiti na kuwona ukwisa wa Yesu na wantu awili wagolokiti pamuhera nayomberi.
33 As the men were parting from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for yoʋ, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he was saying.
Su wantu awili walii paweriti wankuwuka, Peteru kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa, iherepa twenga kulikala panu! Su hatunyawi visasa vitatu, shimu shaku na shamonga sha Musa na shamonga sha Eliya.” Nakaka kavimaniti ndiri shakatakula.
34 But as he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Peteru pakatakuliti hangu, palaa paliya lilawira liwundi lizotopa liwagubika na liwundi ali paliwawiziriti wantumini walii weniti lyoga nentu.
35 Then a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him!”
Wapikinira liziwu kulawa muliwundi lilonga, “Ayu ndo mwana gwangu yanumsyaguliti, mumpikaniri.”
36 When the voice finished speaking, they found that Jesus was alone. And the disciples kept silent, not telling anyone in those days about any of the things they had seen.
Liziwu lyawalipikiniriti palinyamaliti kala, wamwona kayi Yesu kagweka yakuwi. Wantumintumi pawaoniti hangu wanyamalira jii na shipindi shilii wamgambira ndiri muntu vilii vyawawoniti.
37 On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
Shirawu yakuwi Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi watatu pawaweriti wankulawa kulugongu, lipinga likulu lya wantu waliwoniti na Yesu.
38 And behold, a man from among the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg yoʋ to look at my son, for he is my one and only child.
Muntu yumu mulipinga lilii kabota pakalonga, “Mfunda! Nukuhiga gwakamloli mwana gwangu, mwana gwangu gwa gweka!
39 A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone, bruising him severely.
Shamshera kamgaziyaga, pamonga kamtenda katendi umatu na pamonga kamtenda kaweri na shisirika na lifulufulu limlawa mumlomu. Kendereyiti kumgaziya nentu pota nakumlekeziya kanongola.
40 I begged yoʋr disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
Nuwaluwiti wafundwa wakuwi wamwusiyi shamshera kumbiti wasinda.”
41 Jesus answered, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring yoʋr son here.”
Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga shiyiwuku shahera moyu na shana vidoda! Hashi hankali na mwenga na panuwahepelera mpaka ndii?” Shakapanu kamgambira muntu uliya, “Gumjegi mwana gwaku panu.”
42 Now as the boy was approaching, the demon threw him down and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Mndemba ulii pakaweriti kankumgendera Yesu, shamshera uliya kamgusiya pasi, kumtenda shisirika. Kumbiti Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, kamuponiziya mndemba, su kamupa tati gwakuwi.
43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while everyone was marveling at all that Jesus had done, he said to his disciples,
Wantu woseri walikangashiti kwa uwezu mkulu wa Mlungu. Wantu pawaweriti wankali wankulikangasha kila shintu shakatenditi Yesu, yomberi kawagambiriti wafundwa wakuwi,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Namlyaluwa shanuwagambiriti! Mwana gwa Muntu hawambati mumawoku ga wantu.”
45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
Kumbiti wafundwa werewiti ndiri ntambu yakatakuliti. Shitwatira ashi shiweriti shififwa kwawomberi nawavimani, womberi watira kumkosiya ntambu yakatakuliti.
46 Now an argument arose among the disciples as to which of them was greater.
Palawiriti magambiziyanu pakati pawu wantumintumi walii, gaa yakaweriti mkulu nentu.
47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and placed him by his side.
Yesu kavimaniti shawaliholiti, su kamtola mwana mdidini, kamgolosiya pakwegera na mweni,
48 Then he said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who will be great.”
na kawagambira, “Muntu yoseri ulii yakamshemera mwana mdidini ayu kwa litawu lyangu, kanshemera neni na yoseri yakanshemera neni, viraa kamshemera yumu ulii yakantumiti. Yoseri yakaweriti mdidini pakati penu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri.”
49 John responded, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop because he does not follow us.”
Yohani kankula, “Mtuwa, tumwoniti muntu pakawusiya washamshera kwa litawu lyaku na twenga tumubera, toziya kaweriti ndiri mushipinga shetu.”
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against us is for us.”
Yesu kamgambira, “Namuwabera, toziya yoseri yakamlema ndiri yumu pakati penu, kawuwega wa twenga gwenu.”
51 Now when the days were approaching for Jesus' ascension, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Shipindi pashiweriti pakwegera sha Yesu mewamtoli kugenda kumpindi, yomberi kagonjera mwanja gwa Yerusalemu.
52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for him.
Kawatumiti wajumbi wamlongoleri na womberi wagenda mpaka mushijiji shimu sha Wasamariya, wamnyawili kila shintu.
53 But the people there refused to welcome him, because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.
Kumbiti wenikaya walema kumshemera toziya yomberi kaweriti kankugenda Yerusalemu.
54 When his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do yoʋ want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”
Su wafundwa wakuwi, ashina Yohani na Yakobu, pawawoniti hangu walonga, “Mtuwa, gufira tugushemi motu kulawa kumpindi guwagamiziyi?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them, saying, “You do not know what kind of spirit you belong to.
Yesu kawagalambukira na kawakalipira.
56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives but to save them.” And they went on to another village.
Shakapanu Yesu na wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi mushijiji shimonga.
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow yoʋ wherever yoʋ go, Lord.”
Pawaweriti munjira wankugenda, muntu yumu kamgambira Yesu, “Hanukufati koseri kwagugenda.”
58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Yesu kamgambira, “Vibweta wawera na mpanga na wampongu wawera na vitukulu kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu kahera pahala pa kwoyera.”
59 Then Jesus said to another man, “Follow me.” But the man said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
Kamgambira muntu gwingi, “Gunfati.” Kumbiti muntu ulii kalonga, “Mtuwa, gundeki huti nakamsiri tati gwangu.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. But yoʋ go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
Yesu kamwankula, “Guwaleki wahowiti wawasiri wayawu wawahowiti. Gwenga gugendi gwakawubweri ufalumi wa Mlungu.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow yoʋ, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family.”
Kuweriti na muntu gwingi yakamgambira Yesu, “Hanukufati Mtuwa, kumbiti gundeki huti ng'endi kuwaaga wantu wa ukaya kwangu.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Yesu kamgambira, “Muntu yoseri pakanja kulima, pakagalambuka na kulola kumbeli kafaa ndiri kutenda lihengu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.”
