Malekha 8
1 Mu manchuva ago, khwale nu lulundamano uluvakha, ulwale vovole ekhyahulya.
In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2 Yiisu akhavelanga avakhongi va mwene nu khuvavula, “Nikholokolela ekhesa ululundamano ulu, vandelile ukhuva nune amanchuva gadatu na valevovole ekhyahulya.
“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 Ningavavule vagodokhe mumbunchenge uvwa vene khetalya viwesya ukhunchiliha mu njela ne njala. Avange vakhomile khuvutali.”
If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
4 Avakhongi va mwene vakhamwanda, “Twikhavandahu emikate egya khuvigusya avanu ava apasitakhenu?”
His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
5 Akhavavuncha, “Mle ni vimenyu vilengi ifya mikate?” Vakhata, “Saba.”
“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6 Akhalulagela ululundamano lutame pasi. Akhatola emikati saba, akhansana Unguluve, nu khugemenyula. Akhava pa avakhongi va mwene vavekhe mu mbulongolo, avene vakhagevekha mbulongolo lwa lulundamano.
And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
7 Vale ni somba indebe, vu esayile akhavalagela avakhongi va mwene vavagavele n anchope.
They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
8 Valile vakhakwilanila. Pwu vakhalundania ifimenyu ifisigile, ifitundu ifivakha saba.
The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Avanu vale elfu nne. Pwu akhavalekha vavuyage.
And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10 Pwu akhingela mu mbwato na vakhongi va mwene, pwu vakhaluta ulunyikha ulwa Dalmanuta.
He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Pwu avalongonchi vakhehuma khunchi nu khutengula ukhukanikhana nu mwene. Valekhunogwa avape ifikhwani ifikhomile khukyanya, valekhugela.
Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12 Akhenchofanja mu numbula eya mwene akhata, “Kheli ekhepapo ekhe khilonda ifikhwani? Nekhovavula uvulweli umwe, khesikhuli ekhehwani ekheyakheva khihumela khuhepapo ekhe.”
Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 Pwu akhavalekhe, akhingela mu mbwato, akhahega ukhuluta emwambo eyenge.
And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
14 Unsekhe ugwa avakhongi va mwene vasamilwe ukhugega emikati. vale vuvule emikate, vale ne khemenyu khemu mu mbwato.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15 Akhavavunga ukhuta, “Muvinchage mukho nu mwilolele nu uvuvivi uvwa valongonchi nu uvuvivi uvwa Herode.
“Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
16 Avakhongi vahenchofyanja vavo, “Ulwa khuva tulevuvule emukate.”
So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17 U Yiisu akhalemanya ele, khuvavula, “Khehi mu khenchofanya ukhuta mule vuvule emikate? Bado samulomanyile? Samukhweliwa? Inumbula nchenyo nchivile nyebepe?
Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
18 Mle na mikho, samwilola? Mle ni mbulukhutu, samupolekha? Samukumbukha?
‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
19 Vonegavinie emikate gekhano khuvanu elfu ikhano, mwatolile ifitundu filengi ifidegile ifimenyu ifyamikate?” Vakhamwanda, “Kumi na fivele.”
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
20 “Ulwanagavinie emikate saba khu vanu elfu nne, mwatolile ifitundu filengi?”
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
21 Vakhata, “Saba.” Akhavavula, “Samukhweliwa?”
Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
22 Vakhincha khu Bethsaida. Avanu vavo vagegile khwa umunu uvesisola vakhansima u Yiisu amwibate.
When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 Yiisu akhamwibata umunu uvesilola, nu khundongolela khunchi khuhejiji. Vuabekhile amati pa mikho ga mwene nu khugolosya ifivokho fya mwene khu mwene, akhambuncha, “Vukhohevona khyohyoni?”
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
24 Akhalola khu kyanya nu khuta, “Nikhuva vona avanu nde mibekhe egigenda.”
The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Pwu akhagolosya amavokho ga mwene mu mikho ga mwene, omunu ola akhafungula amikho ga mwene, akhalola akhange, akhavona khela khenu khenonu.
Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26 Yiisu akhandekha alote khumwene nu khumbula, “Usite ukhwingela mjini.”
Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
27 Yiisu akhahega navakhongi vamwene ukhuluta khu Kaisaria eya Filipi. Vuvalemunjela akhavavuncha avakhongi, “Avanu vita une nene veni?”
Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”
28 Vakhamwanda vakhata, “Yohani unyalwoncho. Avange vita vee, “Eliya' avange, 'Vita ulenyamalago.”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
29 Akhavavunda, “Umwe mwita one nene veni?” Peteli akhambula, “Uve ve Kristi.”
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 Yiisu akhavavunga ukhuta vasite ukhumbula omunu imbombo incha mwene.
And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
31 Pwu akhatengula ukhuvamanyisya ukhuta unswambe va Adamu yigatanchiwa khu mbombo inyingi, yibeliwa na valongonchi, na vatekhenchi avavaha, na avasimbi, na avanyalwidikho, vugasilile amanchuva gadatu alanchukha.
Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 Aganchovile aga mu mbuvalafu. Pwu Peteli akhantola palukhanji akhatengula ukhumbencha.
He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 U Yiisu akhasyetukha khuhuvalola vakhongi va mwene pwu akhambencha u Peteli akhata, “Luta khunsana Setano! Sawilola imbombo incha Nguluve, wilola imbombo incha vanu.”
But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
34 Pwu akhavelanga avalulundamano na vakhongi va mwene, nu khuvalola, “Inave khule munu inogwa ukhung'onga, ebele yoywa, atole ekhendamingani kya mwene, nu khung'onga.
Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
35 Ulwa khuva yeyoni uveinogwa ukhuvupokha uvwumi uvwa nwene alavuyancha, na yeyo ni uveyakheva ikhovoyancha uvwumi uvwa mwene khwa ajili yango na khulimenyu, alavopokha.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
36 Yikhontanga khehi omunu, ukhukava ekhelunga kyoni, nu khukava ekhesara eya vwumi uwamwene?
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
37 Omunu iwesye ukhuhomia khehi badala eya vwumi uvwa mwene?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Yeyoni uveikhombonela isoni na mamenyu gangu mu khepapo ekhe ekya valigu, ne khepapo ekhya vanya mbivi, unswambe va Adamu yikhombolela isoni yakheva ikhwincha khu ludeva ulwa Dadaye nukhuvasukhiwa avavalanche.
If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
