Matthew 17
1 Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place.
Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne limo, Yesu walamantapo Petulo, Jemusi ne Yohane mukwabo, walatanta nabo pamulundu utali kwabonka.
2 There in their presence His form underwent a change; His face shone like the sun, and His raiment became as white as the light.
Lino cinso ca Yesu calasanduka kababona, cinso cakendi calabala tuu mbuli lisuba, ne byakufwala byakendi byalabeka mbee.
3 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them conversing with Him.
Popelapo Mose ne Eliya balabonekela kulyendibo kababandika ne Yesu.
4 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Mpwalaboneco, Petulo walambila Yesu, kwambeti, “Nkambo, cilabacena kwambeti, mpotuli pano, anu na kamusuni, nitwibake mishasha itatu, umo wenu, naumbi wa Mose, naumbi ube wa Eliya.”
5 He was still speaking when a luminous cloud spread over them; and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said, "This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight. Listen to Him."
Kacambeco likumbi lituba lyalesa kubafwekelela, umo mulikumbi mwalanyumfwika Liswi lyakwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni, mulyendiye ndakondwa, Kamumunyumfwilani.”
6 On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces and were filled with terror.
Mpobalanyumfweco, beshikwiya basa balatina kwine, balawa panshi cakufulumana.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Rouse yourselves and have no fear."
Nomba Yesu walesa kubekata, ne kwambeti, “Pundukani kamutaba ne buyowa.”
8 So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus.
Nomba mpobalenamuka, paliya muntu ngobalabonapo sobwe, nsombi Yesu enka.
9 As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. "Tell no one," He said, "of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
Mpobalikuseluka pa mulundu usa Yesu walabambileti, “Mbyomulabono mucimbonimboni, kamutaya mwambileko uliyense, mpaka Mwana Muntu akapundushiwe kubafu.”
10 "Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
Beshikwiya basa balamwipusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ncobakute kwambileti, Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa?”
11 "Elijah was indeed to come," He replied, "and would reform everything.
Yesu walambeti, “Nicakubinga Eliya ewelela kutanguna kwisa kubamba bintu byonse.
12 But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way."
Nomba ndamwambilishingeti, Eliya walesa kendi, bantu ebabula kumwingashila, nsombi balamwinshila bintu byonse mbyobalikuyanda kulyendiye. Nicimo cimo Mwana Muntu nendi nibakamupenshe.”
13 Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.
Popelapo beshikwiya balenshibeti wambanga sha Yohane mubatishi.
14 When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.
Mpobalabwelela kusa kwalikuba likoto lyabantu, naumbi muntu walesa kusuntama kuli Yesu,
15 "Sir," he said, "have pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and is very ill. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
walambeti, “Nkambo kamumunyumfwilako nkumbo, mwaname ukute bulwashi bwa kashita, lapenge, cindi conse ukute kuwila pamulilo, ne pamenshi.
16 I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him."
Ndanga ndesa nendi kuli beshikwiya benu aba, nomba balalilwa kumusengula.”
17 "O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? Bring him to me."
Yesu walambeti, “Ha! Amwe musemano wa bantu babula lushomo, bamiyeyo yalunkanwa, ninjikale nenu kushika cindi cini sena? Ndelela kulishishibisha kushika cindi citali cilyeconi sena? Kamumuletani kuno uyo mwana.”
18 Then Jesus reprimanded the demon, and it came out and left him; and the boy was cured from that moment.
Yesu walaukalalila mushimu waipa, popelapo walafuma mu mwana. Pacindi copeleco walaba cena.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him, "Why could not we expel the demon?"
Panyuma pakendi beshikwiya balesa kuli Yesu pambali ne kumwipusheti, “Inga twalilwaconi afwe kupulisha mushimu waipa usa?”
20 "Because your faith is so small," He replied; "for I solemnly declare to you that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cebo cakendi ni cakwambeti lushomo lwenu nilung'ana, cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, nambi lushomo lwenu kaluli nilung'ana mbuli kambuto ka katondo ka masitadi, nimukambile mulundu uwu eti, ‘Fumapa, koya uko,’ Mulunduwo nukafumepo, paliya cintu ceshi cikamwalilenga pimbi.”
21 But an evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting."
“Kwambeti mupulishe mushimu wa mushobowu, mwelela nanshi kupaila ne kulikanisha kulya.”
22 As they were travelling about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;
Mpobalabungana beshikwiya bonse ku Galileya, Yesu walabambileti, “Mwana Muntu lenga mu makasa abantu,
23 they will put Him to death, but on the third day He will be raised to life again." And they were exceedingly distressed.
betibakamushine Nsombi pabusuba wabutatu nakapundushiwe.” Beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweco, balongumana.
24 After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, "Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"
Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalashika ku Kapelenawo, beshikusonkesha musonko wa Ng'anda ya Lesa, balamwipusha Petulo, “Sena Shikwiyisha wenu Yesu, nkakute kusonkako musonko waku Ng'anda ya Lesa?”
25 "Yes," he replied, and then went into the house. But before he spoke a word Jesus said, "What think you, Simon? From whom do this world's kings receive customs or capitation tax? from their own children, or from others?"
Nendi Petulo walambeti, “Ee, ukute kusonka.” Lino Petulo mpwalengila mung'anda katanamba ciliconse. Yesu walamwipusheti, “Obe Shimoni ulayeyenga cani? Inga bami bapano pacishi bakute kutambula misonko kufuma kuli bani,” Kubantu bamushobo wabo, nambi bensu?
26 "From others," he replied. "Then the children go free," said Jesus.
Petulo walambeti, “Kubensu,” Nendi Yesu walamwambileti, “Anu nanico bantu bamushobo wabo nkabelela kusonkako sobwe.
27 "However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."
Nomba kwambeti, katutabapesha nsoni baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, koya kulwenje kuya kulobola. Luswi ndoti utangune kulobola ulucenamune mulomo, nucanemo lyali, Ulimante uye usonke, kayi ne njame uye unsonkeleko.”
