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 do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with 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 taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.
3 Emienda gya mwene gekhatengula ukhungala, gekhava mivalafu, uvuvalafu uvulotelile mu khelunga.
And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.
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 saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 (Ulwa khuva sakhemanye ekyakhunchova, vakhadwada fincho.)
For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.
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 a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
8 Vwu vipilola, savakhambona yeyone uveale paninie navene, alepo u Yiisu mwene.
And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.
9 Vuvikhwiha ukhuhuma khukyamba, akhavalagela vasite ukhumpangila omunu gago valolile, hadi unswambe va Adamu alavaicnhukha ukhuhuma khuvufwe.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
10 Pwu vakhanchingahencha imbombo vavo vene. Pwu vakhenchofanja ukhuta khuhuta kheli “Ukhunchula ukhuhuma khuvufwe”
And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.
11 Vakhambunche u Yiisu, “Kheli avasimbi vavita ikhwincha tasi u Eliya?”
And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and 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 said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 Leno ninchova khulyomwe u Eliya ainchile, vakhambombela umuveganelile, ndu elimenyu linchova.”
But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.
14 Vuvavuyile khuvakhongi, vakhevona ululundamano ludegile na Masadukayo valekhukanihane navo.
And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.
15 Vu vambwene, elipuga lyoni lekhadega nu khuluta khuhomponia.
And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.
16 Akhavavoncha avakhongi va mwene, “Mkanekhana navo khuhekhi?”
And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?
17 Yomo mu khepuga akhamwanda, “Mmanyisi, nekhagegile umwana vango khulyove; aleni mepo imbivi inchikhosiga ukhonchova,
And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
18 nchikhopelela ukhutetema nu khugwisya pasi, epofu yikhomaga mundomo nu khuyeledula amino nu khuncichima. Nekhavadova avakhongi vakho vanchikhomie imepo, vakhalemwa.
And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.
19 Akhavanda, “Khepago ekhesakhihwedekha, nitamoga numwe hadi ndeli? Nitolelanila numwe hadi ndali? Mugege khulyone.”
He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with 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 as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
21 Yiisu akhambuncha u Dadaye, “Avile ne khetamu ekhe ukhuhuma ndeli?” Dadaye akhata, “Ukhuhuma vu idebe.
And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;
22 Pavunge alekhugwila mu mwoto apange, mu magasi, nu khugela ukhunjancha. Inave vwuwesye ukhuvomba khyokhyoni tokholele ekhesa ututange.”
and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Yiisu akhambula, “Ingave ule tayari? Khela khenu khiwe sekhana khu yeyoni unyalwidikho.”
Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.
24 Pwu u Dada va mwana akhalela akhata, “Nikhwedekha! Unange ukhusikhwigekha khwango.”
The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 U Yiisu vuawene elipuga linyilela khuvene, akhalagela khu mepo imbivi akhata, “Uve mepo venchivanchi, nikhphogela indekhe, usite ukhwingila khumwene khange.”
And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 Akhalela khumakha nu khugatancha umwana pwu imepo akhahuma. Umwana akhavonekha ukhuta afwile, vingi vakhata, “Afwile,”
And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.
27 Pwu u Yiisu akhantola ne khevokho akhamwinula, omwana akhema.
But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 U Yiisu vu ingile mugati, avakhongi va mwene vakhambuncha khuvutitu, “Kheli tukhalemilwe ukhungumia?”
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 Akhavavola, “Siwesya ukhuhuma ikhone nyesayo.”
And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.
30 Vakhahega pala nu khugendela khu Galileya. Sakhanogwa omunu yeyone alumanye upuvalepo, Ulwa khuva alekhuvamanyisya avakhongi va mwene.
And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.
31 Akhavavola, “Unswambe va Adamu yikhelehwa mu mavokho ga vanu, pwu vikhombuda, vuafwile, vugalutile amanchuva gatatu alanchokha.”
For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.
32 Pwu savakheliwa ekhinchova, vakhadwada ukhumbuncha.
But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Vuvafikhe Karperinaumu. Vu ale mumbunchenge skhavavuncha, “Mukhenchofanchaga kheli mu njela?”
And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?
34 Pwu vakhanchiga miye. Ulwa khuva vale khukanikhana mu njela ukhuta veni yoywa imbakha huvoni.
But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.
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 sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.
36 Akhantola omwana udebe akhambekha pagati pavene. Akhampemba mumavokho, akhata,
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Yeyoni uveikhomwopelela umwana ndoyu mu litawa lyango, iva anyupelile one, ingave omunu anyupelile one, sanyupelile one nemwene nu uveansukhile.”
Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 Yohani akhambula, “Mmanyisi tukhambwene omunu ikhomia imepo khu litawa lyakho tukhabencha, ulwakhova sikhongana nu fwe.”
John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did 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.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.
40 Yeyoni yoywa salenufwe, alepaninie nufwe.
For he that 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 shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 Yeyoni uveikhovapenja avadebe avikhonyedekha one, lukhale lwiva lunonu khumwene ukhukongiwa ulwala mu nsingo nu khutagwa mu nyanja.
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be 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 thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable. (Geenna g1067)
44 (Nchingakhencha: unsitari ege, “Baho amatekhenya sagifwa nu muoto gogwa sagwinchima. “Gusimuli mu mbusimbe uvwa khatale).
45 Ingave ekhelunda kyakho khehopenchinche khegede. Lwiva lunonu khulyove ukhwingila khu vwumi vu ulendema, ukhwingela khuvuhegi ni filunde fivele. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 (Nchingakhencha: unsitari ogo, “Baho amatekhenya sagifwa nu mwoto gogwa sagwinchima “gusimuli mu mbusimbe uvwa khatale).
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 thine eye is causing thee to fall away, pluck it out; it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 Baho pale na matekhenya agasagifwa, nu mwoto gogwa sagwinchima.
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 Ulwa khuva khela munu alagendela mumwoto.
For every one will be salted with fire.
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.”
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
