Mark 10
1 Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
Jesu nakazwa kubusena obo waya kuchisi chaku Judiya a kubusena bwamutala a mulongaJodani, alimwi bantu biingi bakaza lubo kulinguwe. Wakali kubayiisya lubo, mbuli mbakali wazibila kuchita.
2 [While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
Mpawo baFalisi bakaza kulinguwe kuzomusunka alimwi bakmubuzya kuti, “Chili mumulawu na kuti mwalumi aleke banakwe?” Wakasandula,
3 He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
“Wakamulayilila buti Mozesi?”
4 [One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
Bakati, “Mozesi wakazuminina mwalumi kulemba lugwalo lwakulekana alimwi akumutanda”.
5 Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
“Nkuyuma kwamyoyo yanu chakapa kuti alembe mulawo oyu”, Jesu wakabambila.
6 [Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
“Pele kuzwa kumatalikilo akulenga, 'Leza wakababumba, mwalumi amwanakazi'.
7 That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
“Akambo kachechi mwalumi uyozwa kuliwisi abanyina
8 Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
alimwi akakkale abanakwe, alimwi bobile bayooba nyama yomwe! Aboobo tabachili bobile pe, pele nyama yomwe”.
9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
Aboobo Leza nzyaswanizya antoomwe, kutakabi muntu uzyaanzania”.
10 When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
Awo nibakali mun'anda, basikwiiya bakamubuzya lubo aatala achechi.
11 He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Naba ani uleka mwanakazi akukwata umbi wamuchita bumambi.
12 [God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
Naa mukayintu waleka mulumi wakwe wakwatwa awumbi mwalumi, wachita bumambi”.
13 [One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
Mpawo bakeeta bana babo banini kulinguwe kuti abagume, pele basikwiiya bakabakalalila.
14 When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
Pele Jesu nakazibona, tezyakamubotezya pe alimwi wakati kulimbabo, “Muzumizye bana mutabakasyi, nkambo bwami bwaLeza mbubwabo bali boobo.
15 Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
Chakasimpe ndamwambila, naba ani utatambuli bwami bwaLeza mbuli mwana munini takonzyi kuyobunjila”.
16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
Mpawo wakababweza bana mumanza akwe alimwi wabalongezya nakabikka maboko akwe alimbabo.
17 As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Nakatalisya lweendo lwakwe, umwi mwalumi wakachijana wazofugama kunembo lyakwe alimwi wabuzya, “Muyisi mubotu, ndichite buti kuti ndikajane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
Jesu wakati, “Nkambonzi nuti ndimubotu? Tako pe mubotu naba umwi kunze kwaLeza alikke.
19 [But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
Ulizi milawo: 'Utajayi, utachiti bumambi, utabbi, utabejelezyi umwi, utabbi chakweenena, lemeka uso abanyoko.”
20 The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
Mwalumimwakati, “Muyisi, zyoonse ezi zintu ndakazitibelezya kuzwa kandichili mukubusi”.
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
Jesu wakamulanga alimwi wamuyanda. Wakati kulinguwe, “Chintu chimwi nchobula. Weelede kuuzya zyoonse nzulazyo alimwi uzipe kubachete, elyo uyojana buvubi kujulu. Mpawo sika, unditobele”.
22 The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
Pesi akaambo kamakani aya wakawusa kapati alimwi wakayinka kafwisya nsoni, nkambo wakali azintu zyiingi.
23 Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
Jesu wakalangalanga mpawo wakati kulibasikwiiya bakwe, “Nchiyumu buti kubavubi kunjila mu bwami bwaLeza!”
24 The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
Basikwiiya bakagamba kumajwi akwe.
25 It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Pesi Jesu wakabambila lubo, “Nobana, nchuubawuba kunkamela kuti yiinde mumpako yanaliti kwiinda muvubi kuti anjile mubwami bwaLeza”.
26 The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
Bakagamba kapati alimwi baambilana kuti, “Ngwani unga ulakonzya kufutulwa?”
27 Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
Jesu wakabalanga alimwi wati, “Kubantu tachikonzeki, pele kuli Leza chilakonzeka. Nkambo zintu zyoonse zilakonzeka a Leza”.
28 Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
Pita wakatalika kwambula kulinguwe, “Boona, twasiya zyoonse twakutobela”.
29 Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
Jesu wakati, “Nchobeni ndamwambila, takwe pe wasiya n'anda naa banyandumi naa bachizi naa banyina naa bana naa nyika akambo kandime alimwi akambo kavangeli,
30 will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
Pele biingi balikumatangunino bayooba bakumamanino”.
32 [Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
Bakali mumugwagwa kabayabuya kuJelusalema, alimwi Jesu wakali kunembo lyab. Basikwiiya bakagamba, alimwi abaabo bakali kutobela musule bakayowa. Mpawo Jesu wakabweza bali kkumi ababili wabatola kumbali alubo watalika kubambila zizochitikana kulinguwe kuchiindi chitobela linolino.
33 “Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
“Amubone, tuyabuya kuJelusalema, alimwi Mwana waMuntu uyowabwa kubapayizi bapati abalembi.
34 Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
Bayomupa mulandu walufu akumwaaba kulibamasi. Bayomusonsya, bayomuswida mate amubili, bayomuuma, alimwi bakamujeye. Pele kwiinda mazuba atatu uyobuka.
35 [Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
Jemusi a Joni, bana baZebbadi, bakaza kulinguwe bati, “Muyisi, tuyanda kuti mutuchitile kufumbwa nzituyomukumbila kulinduwe”.
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Wakati kulimbabo, “Niinzi nchimuyanda kuti ndikamuchitile?”
37 They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
Bakati, “Tuzumizye kuti tukkale anduwe mubulemu bwako, umwi kuchilisyo umwi kuchimwensi.”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
Pele Jesu wakabasandula, “Tamuchizi nchimuli kukumbila. Mulakonzya na kunywa nkomechi njesikanywe naa kukakatila kulubbizizyo ndwesikabbizigwe andulo?”
39 They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Tulakonzya.” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nkomechi njesikanywe, muyoyinywa, alimwi lubbizizyo ndwesikabbizigwe andulo, anywebo muyolubbizigwa.
40 But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
Pele utakakkale kuchilisyo kana kuchimwensi tensi ndime nensyambe pe, pele nkukwabaabo babambilidwe mbubo.”
41 The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
Awo bamwi balikkumi nibakamvwa eecho, bakatalika kunyemena Jemusi a Joni.
42 Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
Jesu wakabayita kulinguwe wati, “Mulizi aabo baambwa kuti mbendelezi babamasi balabeendelezya, alimwi basikutwe babo bakatondezya manguzu aabo alimbabo.
43 But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
Pele tazikoyooba mbubo pe akati kanu. Naba ani uyanda kuba mupati akati kanu weelede kuba mupati mulanda,
44 Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
alimwi naba ani uyanda kuba mutanzi akati kanu weelede kuba muzike waboonse
45 [You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
Nkambo Mwana aMuntu takazida kuzofutulwa pe, pele kufutula, alimwi akupa buumi bwakwe kukwangununa biingi.”
46 [On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
Bakasika kuJelikko. Nakazwa kuJelikko abasikwiiya bakwe amakamu makamu, mwana wa Timiyasi, Bbatimiyasi, moofu, wakalikkede kumbali amugwagwa.
47 When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
Awo nakamvwa kuti Jesu muNazaleni, wakatalika koompolola wati, “Jesu Mwana waDavida, ndifwide luzyalo!”
48 Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
Biingi bakamukasya mwalumi boofu, bamwambila kuti awumune. Pele wakompolola changuzu, “Mwana waDavida, ndifwide luzyalo!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
Jesu wakayimikila alimwi wabalayilila kuti bamwiite. Bakamwiita mwalumi moofu, bati, “Koyuma! Nyampuka! Ulikukwiita.”
50 He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
Wakasowela ansi chikobela chakwe, wasotoka alimwi wasika kuli Jesu.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Niinzi nchuyanda kuti ndikuchitile?” Mwalumi moofu wakati, “Muyisi ndiyanda kubona.”
52 Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Kuya. Lusyomo lwako lwakuponya.” Mpaawo wakabona lubo, alimwi wakamutobela mumugwagwa.
