Luka 9
1 Abasumpi bena ikumi ni bobele bonse mi nicabaha maata ni buyendisi heulu la madimona onse ni kuhoza matuku.
And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases,
2 Nabatuma kukawamba inzwi ni kukahoza balwela.
and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Ni chabawambila nati, “Kanji muhindi chimwi ni chimwi mulwendo lwenu- nanga inkoli, nanga chinkwama, nanga chinkwa, nanga masheleni nanga ingubo zimwi.
And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.
4 Inzubo yonse yete mwinjile, mwikale mwateni kuhitila hete nemuyendele.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.
5 Konse kwete nimuye kobasamutambuli, hamuzwa mweyo intolopo muzukutule isukuko kumatende enu ive vupaki kwinekulyabo.”
And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.
6 Kuzwaho ni chibanyamuka ni kuyenda muminzi, kuwamba inzwi ni kuhoza konse ko bakaya.
And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.
7 Linu Simwine Heroda ha zuwa zonse zi batendahali, na komokwa, mukuti bamwi bati Johani Mukolobezi ababuki kubafwile,
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done [by him], and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among [the] dead,
8 kumwi bati Elija chababoneki, kono bamwi bati zumwi wa bapolofita bentanzi abavuki.
and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Heroda ni cha wamba, “Johani ye ni banokoli mutwi hape uzo njeni ye ni zuwile zakwe?” Mi ni chalika kubona.
And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.
10 Mi balutwana ha va voola, va wambili Jesu zonse zintu ze va vatendi. Mi ni chavahinda ni kuyenda kungi kuchivaka chilezana kuitolopo isumpwa Betisaida.
And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into [a desert place of] a city called Bethsaida.
11 Kono chisi ha chizuwa bulyo, nichi chamuichilila. A b batambuli ni kuwamba kuvali ka zamuvuso we Reeza, ni kuhoza ba bakusaka kuhozwa.
But the crowds knowing [it] followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.
12 Linu izuba chiliba kuya kuku imina, mi bekumi ni bobele ni chibeza kwali ni chivawamba kuti, “Tumine chisi chiyende kuminzi ituzimbukite ni zivaka zi likungwile ku kaliwanina malalo ni zilyo, kakuti iswe kunu twina muchivaka chi liungwile.”
But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and [into] the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.
13 Kono ni chawamba kuvali ni cha ti. “Inwe muvahe chimwi chakulya.” Ni chi vati, “Katwina nzinkwa zihitilila zimana iyanza ni nswi zobele - haisi iswe ha tuyenda ku ka ulila bantu bonse aba zilyo.”
And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;
14 (Kuola ku va ni vakwame va bena zikiti zikwanisa iyanza.) I ca co ku Balutwani vakwe, “Muvavike bekale muzikwata ziwoola kusika mumakumi a kwanisa iyanza chikwata ni chikwata.”
for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.
15 Ni chi vachita bulyo, mi ni chi vavika vantu kuikala hansi.
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Ni chahinda zinkwa zikwanisa iyanza ni nswi zobele, ni chalola kwiulu, ni ku zitohonolofaza ni kuzi gamona kuzichita tubbali bbali, ni chaha balutwani vakwe kukaha chisi.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Bonse ni chibalya ni kuikuta, mi zivashali ni chizatolwa - ni chikwezula zitanda zivena ikumi ni zobele zatubbali bbali.
And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.
18 Kuvezi vuti Jesu ha va kulapela na li yenke, balutwani vakwe va vena naye. A vavuza, ni cha ti, “Chisi chiti njime eni?”
And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?
19 Ni chi vetaba, “Johani Mukolobezi. Kono bamwi bati nji Eliya, mi bamwi bati nji zumwi wa bapolofita va kale a vavuki.
But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
20 Ni cha wamba kuvali, “Kono inwe muti nji me ni?” Pitrosi ni chetava ni chati, “Njiwe Keresite we Ireeza.”
And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 Kono avakalimela chenguzu ku sawambila muntu zumwi,
But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined [them] to say this to no man,
22 kuwamba kuti, “Mwana Muntu u swanera kunyandila zintu zingi ni kukanwa kwa vakulwana va chisi ni basimwine ba maprisita ni bañoli, mi kehaiwe kono mwizuba lya butatu ka vuke.”
saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
23 Ni cha wamba kuvali vonse, “Haiva kwina u saka ku ni ichilila, u swanela kulikana i ye mwine ni kuhinda chifapano chakwe mwizuva ni zuva ni ku ni ichilila.
And he said to [them] all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;
24 I ye mwine cha vavalela vuhalo bwakwe mwa vusinyehelwe, kono yo sinyehelwa vuhalo bwakwe chevaka lyangu ka vuhaze.
for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, he shall save it.
25 Bulutu njo vuhi kuti muntu aluwe inkanda yonse kono iye na sinyehelwa kapa na lihaya?
For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?
26 I ye mwine yo ni swavela ni manzwi angu, na ye mwana Ereeza kamuswabile hachakeza mwikanya yakwe, ni mwikanya ye Reeza ni ya mangeloyi achenete,
For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and [in that] of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Kono ni miwambila cheniti, kwina vamwi vazimene hanu ve te ne vakane kubona ifu pili ne vaseni kubona mubuso we Reeza.”
But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.
28 Haho kwisule amazuva akwanisa iyanza ni wotatwe kuzwa ha vawambili Jesu ao manzwi, ni chahinda Pitolosi ni Johani ni Jakobo ni chivaya kwilundu ku kalapela,
And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Havakwete kulapela, mazimo achifateho chakwe ni cha chincha, mi zizwato zakwe zi vasanduki kutuba.
And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.
30 Mi mulole, bakwame vo vere va va kuwamba na ye, Mushe ni Eliya,
And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,
31 va vavoneki mwinkanya ibenya. Ba vakuwamba za kuyenda kwake, ku vakusaka kuleta ma maninizo mwa Jerusalema,
who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Linu Pitrosi ni vavekele naye vava kulele ñozi inkando, kono havavuka ni chi va vona ikanya yakwe ni vakwame vovele va vazimene naye.
But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Mi havayenda kusiya Jesu, Pitrosi ni chati kwali, “Simwine kuluto kuti tuvekunu. Tu zake zitomba zotatwe, chimwi chichako, chimwi nji cha Mushe mi chimwi chi be cha Eliya” (Kana a vezi cha va kuwamba),
And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 Ha va kuwamba vulyo, ikope chilyeza ku kubaungula kuvali, mi va batiite ha ve za kuinjila mwikope.
But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:
35 Inzwi li va lizwi mwikope, liti. “U zu nji mwanangu wa mwana-kwame, iye ya vaketwa, muteeke kwali.
and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 Inzwi halimana kuwamba, Jesu ava wana yenke. Ba ba tontoli mi kakwina muntu ye ba bawambili mu mazuva ao chebababoni.
And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
37 Linu mwizuba li ichilila, ha ba ba kusuka kuzwa helundu, chisi chingi cha musanganya.
And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 Mi hamulole mukwame u zwa muchisi ni cha huweleza, ni chati,
And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:
39 “Muluti, ni kukumbila kulola ku mwanangu wa muswisu, nji mwanangu yenke. ubwene, luhuho luvi lumuyendisa mi haho uhuwa, ni kumumbindanisa ni kumuletela ifulo kumulomo. Umusiya cha bukukutu ni kukukatala.
and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.
40 Ni bakumbili balutwani vako kuti va luzwise kono ba ba kangwi.
And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.
41 Jesu a ba vetabi mi abawambi, “Inwe mubetumelo inini baluzubo lu sazumini, mo ni hinde inako ikuma kuhi na nwe ne ni likwete kwenu? Lete mwanako kunu,
And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42 “Mwana havakwiza luhuho lubi lwamuwisikeza hansi mi lwa mumbindanisa. Kono Jesu akalimela luhuho lubi ni kuholisa mwana, ni ku mubozekeza kubesi.
But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.
43 Bonse ba komokwa kwa maata e Ireeza. Ne va komoketwe ku zintu zonse za va chiti, na vcha wamba kwa balutwani vakwe.”
And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which [Jesus] did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Musiye ao manzwi e chile mumatwi enu: Chokuti Mwana e Ireeza ka vetekwe ni kuhewa mumayanza a vantu.”
Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.
45 kono kana va va zuwisizi chiwambo echo. zi va kupatelwa a bo, kuti kanji ve zivi intaluso. Mi hape chi va va kutiya kuvuza intaluso ya chiwambo echo.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
46 Linu inkani chi zatanga mukati kavo zakuti njeni mukulwana mukati kabo.
And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be [the] greatest of them.
47 Kono Jesu, alemuha mihupulo yina mwinkulo zabo, ni cha hinda muhwile munini ni kumubika hafuhi naye,
And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,
48 ni chati kuvali, “Muntu yense yotambula muhwile chezina lyangu, njime yo tambula; mi u tambula ni ya va ni tumi. I ye yense u boneka bunini mukati kenu mwense nji mukando kwenu.”
and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.
49 Johani chetava, “Simwine tu baboni muntu yo kwete kutanda badimona chezina lyako ni twa mukanisa, chokuti ka yendeleli naswe.”
And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 “Kanji mumukanisi,” Jesu awamba, “chokuti muntu yense ya samilwisi wina kwenu.”
And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you.
51 Haho mazuva hanze achuta a kutwi atwalwe kwiulu, ni chahupula kulolelela kwa Jerusalema.
And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Ni chatumina ñusa kubusu bwakwe, mi chivayenda kumunzi wa Masamaria kukalukisa zintu zonse.
And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.
53 Kono vantu kana ba bamutambuli, kakuli a ba lolete kuya kwa Jerusalema.
And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.
54 Cwale Balutwani bakwe ba Jokobo ni Jahani ha ba bona bulyo, ni chivawamba kuti, “Simwine, kana u saka kuti tulaele mulilo kuzwa kwiulu ni kubasinya bonse?
And his disciples James and John seeing [it] said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak [that] fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?
55 Kono a ba chevuka ni kubanyansa
But turning he rebuked them [and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are].
56 mi ni chibayenda kumunzi u mwi.
And they went to another village.
57 Ha ba vakuyenda mwinzila, zumwi ni chati kwali, “Ka ni kuicilile konse kwete u ye.”
And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.
58 Jesu ni chamuitaba. “Basimbwe be na malindi, ni zizuni za kwiulu zina zizumbu, kono Mwana Muntu kena nanga halalika mutwi wakwe.”
And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.
59 Ni cha wambila muntu zumwi. “Ni icilile,” Kono zo ni chati, “Simwine, pili ni lindile ni ka zike bandanda.”
And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.
60 Kono ni chawamb kwali, “siye bafwile bazike bafu babo, kono haili iwe, uyende ukawambe inzwi mubule ni bukando ze Impuso ye Ireeza.”
But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.
61 Zumwi hape ni chati, “Ka ni kuicilile, Simwine, kono pili ni kalaeze ve na munzubo yangu.”
And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.
62 Jesu ni cha mwitava ni chati, “Ka kwina ubika iyanza lyakwe kumpilo ni kuchevuka kwisule u swanela Mumpuso ye Ireeza,”
But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on [the] plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
