Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Ayanjile wabhene, “Lwoliiyanga hulimwi bhawili abhanthu abhabhimilile epha ambao hagabhaibhoja ufye shausilye utawala uwa Ngulubhi pawayinza wikhone.”
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Na bada yinshikutanda, uYesu abhega aPetulo, Yakobo na Yohana palishimo numwene wigamba, bhene. Ndipo ahandile agaluhane mbele yao.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Amenda gakwe gaga luhana gana amulishe alabhe sana nabhe mazelu zaidi uzeluuwasa bhulavha wabhonthi munthi.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Phepo aEliya pamoja nu Mose bhahafumila witazi lwabho, bhali bhayanga nu Yesu.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
U Petulo ajibula uYesu, “Umwalimo, shinza ati akhale epa, shimo shaliwe, shimo kwa ajili ya Mose na isha mwabhosha Eliya.”
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
(Haga amenye ahawaziwa ayanje, bhahogopha sana.)
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Ibhingo lwa fumila nabha kwi shile. Ipo isauti ihafuma mwibhingo ihayanga, “Unu mwana wane uwingine. Mutejele zyaje yuyo.”
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Ghafla, pali bha wenya sabha halola uyalinao palishimo, ila uYesu mwene.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
Pali bhahwiha afume wigamba, amulila huje bhasaheze hubhele umuntu numo gala gunti agabha galolile, paka Umwana wa Adamu piizhyuha afume wabhafwe.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Ipo paha ga uta amambo bhibho. Lelo bhayangana bhene kwa bhene lwenu imana yakwe “azyushe afume wa bhafwe”
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Bhaha bhuzya uYesu,”Yenu abhandishi bhaiga uEliya ayize nasonti?”
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Abhabhula, “lwoli Eliya sagabhiza afume ivhintu vhunti. Yenu isimbilwe Mwana wa Adamu lazima apate amalabha gaminji navhitililwe?
Lelo iyanga hulimwi lelo uEliya ahezele, bhahabhomba shabhayingine nishishila shaiganile, nishi amasimbo shaga yanga ahusu umwene.”
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
Pabha habhuya wasudwa, bhaha ilola imbunga ingosi izyungulile na Masadukayo bhabisanyaga ahabho bhabisanyaga anabho.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Pala pahalola, ibhunga yunti bhahashyiga nahunyilile hulamushe.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Abha bhuzywa asundwa abhakwe, “Mubisanya nao kuhusu iyenu?”
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Umuntu umo muhati yabho ahajibula, “Mwalimo ihale ta umwana wane huliwe; ana iroho iyithavu ihubhomba huje anganda yayanje,
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
ihu fanya aje atete mamanje na hugwisye panzi, nafume ipofu mwilomu nasye amino naga gandane. Ihabhalabhile asundwa bhaho humwefye, lelo hagabhawezizwe.
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Abhajibu, “Ishizazi ishasa shiwamini izakhale namwe humuda bhuli? Izawejelane namwe paka lii leti hulini? Mleteni kwangu.”
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Bhaleta umwana wakwe. Iroho inhavhu palalala uYesu, gafla ihapela ateteme. Usahala agwile paka panzi naafumhe ipovhu wilomu.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
U Yesu ahabhuzya uyise, “Ihali ine ili awande muda ulyi?” Uyise ayanjile, “Aje afume uwana wakwe.
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
Mumomumo itwala humwoto au mumenze naije la humwanga mizywe, kama uwezwa abhombe hahunthi utuhulumile natusaidile.”
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
U Yesu abhulyile, “Akhashele uli tayali? Hala hantu hawezeha na waya yunthi uya wamini.”
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Ghafla uyise wa mwana ahalila nayanje huje, “Iwamini! Nisaidie asinte awamini wane.”
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
Uwakati uYesu pahalola imbuga inyila abhale wabhene, ayikemela iroho inthavu nayanje, “awenohobubu uwasaga uhuvha, ihuwamuruleshe, usahinjile wamwene nanthele.”
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Ahalila wikhone na huhangaisye umwana na iroho ihafumile. Umwana abhoneha uga afyile, Ipo abhinji bhayanjile, “Aje afyile,”
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Lelo uYesu amwega nukhono abhusywa, umwana ahimelila.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Lula uYesu pahinjila muhatyi, asundwa bhakwe bhahabhuzya shisili, “Yenu satawezizye humwefye?”
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Abhabhulile, “pipo ini haga iwepa ila pwavhile.”
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Bhahepa pala najendele wi Galilaya. Haga ahazanga umuntu yayuthi amanye pawilyi,
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
pipo amanyizywaga asudwa bhakwe. Abhabhulile, “Umwana wa Adamu atwalya makhono mwa bhantyu, nahugoje. Paivha afwile, baada yinsiku tatu aizyuha nanthele.”
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Lelo haga bhaha mwelewa agawelezya iza, bhahogopa hubhuzywe.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Ipo vhahafiha Karperinaumu. Wakati uhuo pali muhanthi nyumba abhuzizye, “Mwayanga naga yenu mwidala”?
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Lelo bhaha puma mie. Yani bisanya mwidala huje yunanu uwazabhe gosi zaidi.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Ahakhala pansi abhakuga ilongo na bhamo bhabhilye pamo, ayanga nabho, “Umuntu khawaza abhe wa kwanza, nilazima abhe wa malishilo na wabhatumishile bha bhunthi.”
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Ahamwanya umwana udodo abhiha pahati yabho. Amwega makhono gakwe, ayanga,
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
“Wabhodthi nishi unu witawa lyane, oyaabha amboshile ninengashele umuntu aposha, saga aphola nene tu, lelo nayula uwantumile.”
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
U Yohana abhula, “Umwalimu tulolile umuntu kwa wefya iphepo witawa lwaho tuhathubhila, pepo haga atidaga anti.”
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Lelo uYesu ayanga, “Munganda hukhane pipo numo uwaibhomba imbombo ingosi witawa lwani na ipi pamandi ayanje injango imbivhi lwa lyunti.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Wa bhuntyi uwasagali tofauti natwe ali hu pande witu.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
Wabhuntyi uya yipela ishikombe iminzye agamwele pipo uli Kilisite, lyoli imba bhala hagaitezya usahala gwakwe.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Wa bhuntyi uyakosezwa hawa bhali bhali bhadodo abhanamini anye, wali shinza wa mwene apinyilwe inganga ilwasyele huzhingo natagwe muzhumbi.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Khamba ukhono gwaho kha hukosela gundumulaje. Hubha washi awinjile huwomi bila khono kwiko awinjile kwenye hulozi ulinamakhono gutyi. Mula mumwoto “ugwasaguzimiha”. (Geenna g1067)
(Inatila: Ulutanani ulu, “Pamahali ambapo intofyi sazifwa numwoto ugwasazimiha.” saga uwili katika nakala zakale).
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Igaga khashele likosezywa, lidumula. Je shiza huliwe awijile huwumi khalilema, kuliko atagwe hulozi namagaga gavhili. (Geenna g1067)
(Inatila: Ulutanani ulu, “Amahali itofi hazifwa numwoto usiyoweza azimishe hagagu wili nakala izihali).
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Kama iliso lwaho khahukosezwa lisenyaje shinza hwilwe awinjile Utawala uwa Ngulubhi uli niso limo, kuliko kwingia ukiwa maso guntyi ulaje huje mwoto. (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
Pala apali nintafyi izya sazifya, numwoto ugwa saguzimia.
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Lelo phipo shila muntyu aifyula numwoto.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Umwonyi mwinza, lelo umwonyi khagutezye uwiza wakwe, gubhabhombe bhuli uwinza bhuye nathyena? Munje mwonyi muhatyi yinyu, na uwaushe wa shila umo.”
