Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
Wabhakwizya bhala Thenashara, wabhapela owezo na mamlaka agahwefwe pepo bhonti na ponie empongo.
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
Wabhasontezya bhaulombelele oumwene owa NGOLOBHE na abhaponie empongo.
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
Wabhabhola, “Mganje hweje ahantu msafari yenyu endesa, wala echola, wala ibumnda, wala ehela wala omo wenye asahabhe na magolole gabhele.
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
Na enyumba yuyonti yamwayinjila, mkhalaje omwo anzaji omwo.
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Na bhala bhasebhabhakalibizizye, na mfuma mwiboma omwo, kunyuntaji hata mankondi aga mmagaga egenyu abhe ushuda hwabhahale.”
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
Bhabhala bhasyongola shila shijiji, bhalombelela izu na abhunie abhantu shila mahali.
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Nao Herode, omwene, wovwa enongwa zyonti zyazibhombeshe, wazugumila afwanaje abhantu bhamo bhayanjile eyejo oYohana azyoshele afume afwe,
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Na bhamo bhagaga oEliya abhoneshe na bhamo, bhagaga bhabhala akuwa abhe mwaha azeyoshele.
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
Lelo oHerode wayanga, “OYohana, nadumuye itwe eshi wenu ono wehovwa amambo gakwe? Ahanzaga hulole.
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
Eshi bhala atumwa, nabhawelile bhabholele amambo gonti gabhabombile. wabhega wabhalanabho pa faragha paka piboma limo likwiziwa Bethsadia.
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
Namabongono nabhanya bhalondoleye wabhakari bizya, wabha ayanga nabho enongwa zya umwene owa NGOLOBHE, wabhaponia bhala bhabhali neshida eya pone.
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
Na isanyo lyahandile aswe, bhabhalila bhala Athenashara, bhabhola ulaje obongano ili bhabhale hushijiji na mmagondo aga mnshenje bhapaje apagone na evyalye afwanaje epa patihweli pigona wene.”
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
Wabhabhola, “Bhapeli amwe eshalye.”bhayaga” Seti na hantu zaidi eye mabumnda gasanu ne sanaki zibhele kasetibhala tibhakalile abhantu ebhabhonti evyalye.”
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
Afwanaje alume bhali elfu zisanu. Na wabhabhola asambelezewa bhakwe. “Bhakhazi abhantu shikundi shila shikundi bhantu hamsini.
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
Bhabhamba esho bhabhakhazya bhonti.
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
Wega gala amabumnda gasanu na zila esamaki zibhele wenya amwanya humbunguni, wavi sayila, wavimensula wabhapela, asambelezewe bhakwe ili bhabhapele abungano.
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
Bhalya bhakuta bhonti, na eshi vila evimensushilo vyavyasageye bhabhongenye evitondo kumi na vibhele.
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
Yabha na putaga hufalagha, amanyiwa bhakwe bhahari pandwemo nawo, wabhabhozya, eshi amabongano ebhabha bhayiga ane neweni?
19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
Bhagalula, bhayanga, “oYohana yahwozya, lelo bhamo bhayiga yo Eliya, nabhamwabho bhayiga mojawapo mwa kuwa abhemwaha azyoshele.”
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
Wabhabhola, “amwe myiga ane newenu?” OPetro wagalula wayanga, “awe we kristi wa NGOLOBHE.”
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
Wabhasunda, wabhakhana bhagaje hubhole omntu enongwa ezyo,
22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
Wayanga ahwanziwa omwana owa Adamu agaje amalabha aminji nakhanwe na zee na gosi abhe makohani na simbi na gakwe na isiku elya tatu lya zyoshe.
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Wabhabhola wonti omntu yeyonti, “Yahwanza ambejezye na ahwikhane yoyo, ahwitweshe ikhobhehanyo lyakwe shila lisiku, andondolezyaje.
24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
Afwanaje omntu yahwanza aponie enafsi yakwe ayiyitezya, na omntu yayitezye enafsi kwajili yane, esho ayiyiponya.
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Afwanaje henu habhajiye omntu, azyagaezya mnsi omo zyonti, nkeshe wahwitezya yoyo na hwiyanganuzye?
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
Afwanaje shila yayindolela asoni ane na mazu gane, omwana owa Adamu wape ayihulole esoni omntu oyo nayenza no winza wakwe, no wayise no wa malaika abhinza.
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Nane embabhola elyoli, bhahweli bhabhemeleye epa, ambao sebhayilenga efwa tee hata paka bhaulole oumwe owa NGOLOBHE.”
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
Afume amazu ego zyashilile ensiku nane abhejile oPetro, no Yohana, no Yakobo, wazubha mwigamba ili alabhe.
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
Yabha katika apute hwakwe esheni, esha hu maso gakwe shagaluhana, na amenda gakwe gabha mazelu gameta meta.
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
Na enya, abhantu bhabhele bhali bhayanga nawo! Bhape yo Musa no Eliya,
Bhabhoneshe huwinza. Bhayanga enongwa ezya fwe hwakwe, nayikamilisya hu Yerusalemu.
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
OPetro na bhala bhali pandwemo nabho bhali bhalemewe notulo. Lelo nabhadamla, bhalole owinza wakwe nabhala bhabhele bhabhemeleye pandwemo nabho.
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
Yabha ebho nabhahwibagula nawo, oPetro wabhila oYesu, GOSI, wabhagosi, shinza atee abhepa na tilenganye amahenje gatatu. Shimo shahwiliwa shimo shamusi esha mwabho sha Musa, no Eliya.” Esho ali samenye lyayanga.
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
Nali ayanga ego, lyafumiye ibhengo lyabhapola izunda bhogopa nabhinji mwibhengo elyo.
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
Izu lyafumile mwibhengo lyayanga, “Ono mwana wane teule. Wane mwovwaji omwahale.”
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
Na izu elyo nalyamaliha, Yesu abhoneshe ali mwene, bhape bhapona kati, sebhatangazya hwa mntu ensiku zila lyalyoli lilo gabhagalolile.
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
Yabha isiku, elya bhele yakwe nabhiha hwigamba, abugano ogosi watangene nawo.
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
Na enye, omntu omo katika obongano akholile hwiizu ayanjile, sambilizi, “Ehulabha mwenye omwana wane, afwanaje omwahale mwana wane mwene.
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
Na enye ipepo lihukhata wape akhoma ibwago, antele lihupela eshifapa, olu afuma itatafura wa sahuleha ila humalabha ohwikoyola koyola.
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
Embalabhile asambelezewe bhaho bhamwefe sebhawezizye.”
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
OYesu wagalula wayanga, “Amwe mshikholo mwase mlinolyeteho, mtejile embakhale nani we nahwejeshelane paka ndii? Rete omwana wa ho epe.”
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
Na ali ahubhalila, ipepo lyalagazya pansi. wapela eshifafa, oYesu wadamila ipepo ibhibhi, waponia omwana wawezyezya oYise.
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
Bhonti bhaswiga nabhaulola ogosi owa NGOLOBHE. Bhape nabhali bhaswiga amambo gonti gabhambile, abhabholele amanyiziwa bhakwe,
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
“Gakhataji amazu ega mmakutu genyu, ufwanaje omwana owa Adamu abhala akhatwe mmakhono gabhantu.”
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
Lelo sebhalimenye izu lila, lyatisilwe hwabhale sebhalimenye, bhahogope hubhozye ofwano gwakwe gwenu izu elyo.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
Bhahandile ayungane wenu yabhabhe gosi kati yabho.
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
Wape oYesu nawamanya esebho ezye moyo gabho, wamwega omwana ododo, wabhaha papepe no mwahale,
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
Wabhabhola, “yayonti yabhahuwejelele omwana ono hwitawa lyane anejeleye nene na yoyonti, yabhanejelele ane, abhabhe amwejeleye omwahale yasontezyezyeafwanaje yali mwana miongoni mwenyu mwenti oyo ndiye yo gosi”
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
OYohana wagalulawabhola, “Bwana, wogosi tilolile omntu afumya ipepo hwitawa lyaho tikhene, afwanaje salongozanyu natee.”
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
OYesu wabhola, “Mganje, hukhane afwanaje omwahale ambaye salilne mbibhi natee aliupande owahulite”
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
Yabha ensiku, ezya sogole nazyaparamiye afishe, omwahale alanguliye amaso gakwe abhale hu Yerusalemu.
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
Wasontezya abhajumbe atagalile hwita, galila elye maso gakwe, bhabhala bhinjila mshijiji esha bhasamaria ili kulengunyizye mahali.
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
Lelo akhaya sabhakaribizizye, afanaje shahenyizye amaso gakwe, abhale hu Yerusalemu.
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
Asambeleziwa bhakwe oYakobo no Yohana nabhalolile, ego bhayanjile, “GOSI ohwanza tirajizye (neshe oEliya wape shabhombile)?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
Wabhagalushila wabhasunda -(wayanga, semmenye eroho yeli hwelewele yamlinayo)
56 So they went to a different village.
Apwanaje omwana owa Adamu sega henzele azitezye roho zya bhantu eshi azyaule, bhasogala bhabhala hushijiji esha mwabho.
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
Bhape nabhali bhabala mwidala, omntu omo abholele, “Embahulondolele hwohwonti hwobhale.”
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
OYesu wabhola, “Embela bhana magwenya, enyonyiabheangani bhane vitele, lelo omwana owa Adamu sali na pagone itwe lyakwa.”
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Wabhola owa mwabho, “Ombenjelele.” Wayanga,”GOSI, pele oruhusa nasoti embale esyele oYise wane,”
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
Wabhala bhaleshe bhabhafwiye, “Bhaseyele naje abhafwe bhebho, eshi awe bhalagaolombelele aumwene owa NGOLOBHE.
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
Omntu owamwabho. “Nantele wabhola, GOSI, embahubhenjezye lelo mpele oruhusa nasoti embalaje abhantu bhapa khaya yane.”
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
OYesu wabhola umntu, yabheshele okhono gwakwe alima antele wagaluha hwisalo sahwanziwa humwene owa NGOLOBHE.”
