Malekha 9
1 Aganchovile khuvene, “Lweli ni nchova khulyomwe, avange venyo khule vanu avemile apa savalafwa mpakha valuvone uludeva lwa Ngluve vulwikhwincha na makha.”
And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in power.”
2 Vu galuti amanchuva sita, Yiisu akhavatola Peteli, Yakobo nu Yohani ukhuluta navo khukyamba, vene. Pwu akhatengula ukhuhambukha pa vene.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, and He was transfigured before them,
3 Emienda gya mwene gekhatengula ukhungala, gekhava mivalafu, uvuvalafu uvulotelile mu khelunga.
and His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them].
4 Pwu u Eliya nu Mose vakhahomela mu mbolongolo mu vene, valekhonchova nu Yiisu.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Peteli akhanda akhambula u Yiisu, “Mmanyisi, luvile lunonu ufye ukhuva apa, pwu tunchenge ameve gadatu, lemoleve lyakho, lemo leve lya Mose nelenge leve lya Eliya.”
And Peter answering says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one”:
6 (Ulwa khuva sakhemanye ekyakhunchova, vakhadwada fincho.)
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 Elifunde likhehumela nu khuvagubikha. Pwu elimenyu likhahuma mu mafunde likhata, “Oya ve nswambango ugane, mupulekhenchange umwene.”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him”;
8 Vwu vipilola, savakhambona yeyone uveale paninie navene, alepo u Yiisu mwene.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 Vuvikhwiha ukhuhuma khukyamba, akhavalagela vasite ukhumpangila omunu gago valolile, hadi unswambe va Adamu alavaicnhukha ukhuhuma khuvufwe.
And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
10 Pwu vakhanchingahencha imbombo vavo vene. Pwu vakhenchofanja ukhuta khuhuta kheli “Ukhunchula ukhuhuma khuvufwe”
and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 Vakhambunche u Yiisu, “Kheli avasimbi vavita ikhwincha tasi u Eliya?”
And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
12 Akhavavola, “Lweli u Eliya alincha tasi khwipokha ifinu fyoni. Kheli yesimbiwe unswambe va Adamu alagatanchiwa nu khusuliwa?
And He answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may suffer many things, and be set at nothing?
13 Leno ninchova khulyomwe u Eliya ainchile, vakhambombela umuveganelile, ndu elimenyu linchova.”
But I say to you that also Elijah has come, and they did to him what they willed, as it has been written of him.”
14 Vuvavuyile khuvakhongi, vakhevona ululundamano ludegile na Masadukayo valekhukanihane navo.
And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
15 Vu vambwene, elipuga lyoni lekhadega nu khuluta khuhomponia.
and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
16 Akhavavoncha avakhongi va mwene, “Mkanekhana navo khuhekhi?”
And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
17 Yomo mu khepuga akhamwanda, “Mmanyisi, nekhagegile umwana vango khulyove; aleni mepo imbivi inchikhosiga ukhonchova,
And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
18 nchikhopelela ukhutetema nu khugwisya pasi, epofu yikhomaga mundomo nu khuyeledula amino nu khuncichima. Nekhavadova avakhongi vakho vanchikhomie imepo, vakhalemwa.
and wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spoke to Your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.”
19 Akhavanda, “Khepago ekhesakhihwedekha, nitamoga numwe hadi ndeli? Nitolelanila numwe hadi ndali? Mugege khulyone.”
And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will I suffer you? Bring him to Me”;
20 Vakhagega umwana vamwene. Emepo imbivi vunchimbwene u Yiisu, pwu nchikhapelela ukhutetema. Undemi akhagwa pasi nu khuhumia epofu mundomo.
and they brought him to Him, and he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—foaming.
21 Yiisu akhambuncha u Dadaye, “Avile ne khetamu ekhe ukhuhuma ndeli?” Dadaye akhata, “Ukhuhuma vu idebe.
And He questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
22 Pavunge alekhugwila mu mwoto apange, mu magasi, nu khugela ukhunjancha. Inave vwuwesye ukhuvomba khyokhyoni tokholele ekhesa ututange.”
and many times it also cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if You are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.”
23 Yiisu akhambula, “Ingave ule tayari? Khela khenu khiwe sekhana khu yeyoni unyalwidikho.”
And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
24 Pwu u Dada va mwana akhalela akhata, “Nikhwedekha! Unange ukhusikhwigekha khwango.”
and immediately the father of the child, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my unbelief.”
25 U Yiisu vuawene elipuga linyilela khuvene, akhalagela khu mepo imbivi akhata, “Uve mepo venchivanchi, nikhphogela indekhe, usite ukhwingila khumwene khange.”
Jesus having seen that a multitude runs together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Spirit—mute and deaf—I charge you, come forth out of him, and you may no longer enter into him”;
26 Akhalela khumakha nu khugatancha umwana pwu imepo akhahuma. Umwana akhavonekha ukhuta afwile, vingi vakhata, “Afwile,”
and having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 Pwu u Yiisu akhantola ne khevokho akhamwinula, omwana akhema.
but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
28 U Yiisu vu ingile mugati, avakhongi va mwene vakhambuncha khuvutitu, “Kheli tukhalemilwe ukhungumia?”
And He having come into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it forth?”
29 Akhavavola, “Siwesya ukhuhuma ikhone nyesayo.”
And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
30 Vakhahega pala nu khugendela khu Galileya. Sakhanogwa omunu yeyone alumanye upuvalepo, Ulwa khuva alekhuvamanyisya avakhongi va mwene.
And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
31 Akhavavola, “Unswambe va Adamu yikhelehwa mu mavokho ga vanu, pwu vikhombuda, vuafwile, vugalutile amanchuva gatatu alanchokha.”
for He was teaching His disciples, and He said to them, “The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and having been killed, the third day He will rise,”
32 Pwu savakheliwa ekhinchova, vakhadwada ukhumbuncha.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
33 Vuvafikhe Karperinaumu. Vu ale mumbunchenge skhavavuncha, “Mukhenchofanchaga kheli mu njela?”
And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
34 Pwu vakhanchiga miye. Ulwa khuva vale khukanikhana mu njela ukhuta veni yoywa imbakha huvoni.
And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
35 Akhatama pasi akhavelanga kumi na vavele paninie, akhanchova navo, “Ingave yeyoni ilonde ukhuva va mbulongolo, edekhe ukhuva va munsana na ntangeli va voni.”
and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.”
36 Akhantola omwana udebe akhambekha pagati pavene. Akhampemba mumavokho, akhata,
And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them,
37 “Yeyoni uveikhomwopelela umwana ndoyu mu litawa lyango, iva anyupelile one, ingave omunu anyupelile one, sanyupelile one nemwene nu uveansukhile.”
“Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
38 Yohani akhambula, “Mmanyisi tukhambwene omunu ikhomia imepo khu litawa lyakho tukhabencha, ulwakhova sikhongana nu fwe.”
And John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Pwu u Yiisu akhata, “Msitage ukhuvasiga, ulwa khuva asikhuli omunu uveiwesya ukhovombe imbombo imbkha khu litawa lyango, yoywa iwesya ukhunchova elimenyu elivivi khulyone.
And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me:
40 Yeyoni yoywa salenufwe, alepaninie nufwe.
for he who is not against us is for us;
41 Yeyoni uveyakheva ikhohopa ekhekombe kya magasi aga khunywa ulwakhuva ule nu Kristi, lweli ni khovavola, salayancha ulusayo lwamwene.
for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
42 Yeyoni uveikhovapenja avadebe avikhonyedekha one, lukhale lwiva lunonu khumwene ukhukongiwa ulwala mu nsingo nu khutagwa mu nyanja.
and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.
43 Ingave ekhevokho kyakho khihohopenja Geda. Lwiva lononu ukhwingela khuvwumi ne khevokho khemo, ukhwingela khuvahegi nifivokho fyoni. Khu muoto “Gogwa sagwinchima.” (Geenna g1067)
And if your hand may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
44 (Nchingakhencha: unsitari ege, “Baho amatekhenya sagifwa nu muoto gogwa sagwinchima. “Gusimuli mu mbusimbe uvwa khatale).
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
45 Ingave ekhelunda kyakho khehopenchinche khegede. Lwiva lunonu khulyove ukhwingila khu vwumi vu ulendema, ukhwingela khuvuhegi ni filunde fivele. (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
46 (Nchingakhencha: unsitari ogo, “Baho amatekhenya sagifwa nu mwoto gogwa sagwinchima “gusimuli mu mbusimbe uvwa khatale).
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
47 Ingave elikho lyakho likhohopencha lekhenche. Lwiva lunonu khulyove ukhwingila khu ludeva lwa Nguluve vule nelikho lemo, ukhuva na mikho gavele nu khutagiwa khu vwukhegi. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
48 Baho pale na matekhenya agasagifwa, nu mwoto gogwa sagwinchima.
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
49 Ulwa khuva khela munu alagendela mumwoto.
for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 Omwinyo nnonu, ingave omwinyo gungayanche ovononu vwa gwene, pwu vukhogovombela ndeti ukhungilivula avononu vwa gwene? Muve nu mwinyo yomwe khwa yomwe, muvinchage nu lunonchehecho khwa khela munu.”
The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.”
