Luka 9
1 Abasumpi bena ikumi ni bobele bonse mi nicabaha maata ni buyendisi heulu la madimona onse ni kuhoza matuku.
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 Nabatuma kukawamba inzwi ni kukahoza balwela.
And he sent them to preach 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 [your] journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 Inzubo yonse yete mwinjile, mwikale mwateni kuhitila hete nemuyendele.
And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.
5 Konse kwete nimuye kobasamutambuli, hamuzwa mweyo intolopo muzukutule isukuko kumatende enu ive vupaki kwinekulyabo.”
And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 Kuzwaho ni chibanyamuka ni kuyenda muminzi, kuwamba inzwi ni kuhoza konse ko bakaya.
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Linu Simwine Heroda ha zuwa zonse zi batendahali, na komokwa, mukuti bamwi bati Johani Mukolobezi ababuki kubafwile,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
8 kumwi bati Elija chababoneki, kono bamwi bati zumwi wa bapolofita bentanzi abavuki.
And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient 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 have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired 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, when they had returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place, belonging to the 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.
And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them 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.”
And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here 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.”
But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy provisions 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 by fifties in a company.
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.
Then he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 Bonse ni chibalya ni kuikuta, mi zivashali ni chizatolwa - ni chikwezula zitanda zivena ikumi ni zobele zatubbali bbali.
And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve 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 in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people 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.
They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elijah; and others [say], that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20 Ni cha wamba kuvali, “Kono inwe muti nji me ni?” Pitrosi ni chetava ni chati, “Njiwe Keresite we Ireeza.”
He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, Christ of God.
21 Kono avakalimela chenguzu ku sawambila muntu zumwi,
And he strictly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing,
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 by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
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 [man] 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 whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 Bulutu njo vuhi kuti muntu aluwe inkanda yonse kono iye na sinyehelwa kapa na lihaya?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
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 whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in that of his] 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 tell you in truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see 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, about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up upon 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 was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistening.
30 Mi mulole, bakwame vo vere va va kuwamba na ye, Mushe ni Eliya,
And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 va vavoneki mwinkanya ibenya. Ba vakuwamba za kuyenda kwake, ku vakusaka kuleta ma maninizo mwa Jerusalema,
Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at 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 they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.
34 Ha va kuwamba vulyo, ikope chilyeza ku kubaungula kuvali, mi va batiite ha ve za kuinjila mwikope.
While he was thus speaking, 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 came 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 when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 Linu mwizuba li ichilila, ha ba ba kusuka kuzwa helundu, chisi chingi cha musanganya.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.
38 Mi hamulole mukwame u zwa muchisi ni cha huweleza, ni chati,
And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my 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 lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.
40 Ni bakumbili balutwani vako kuti va luzwise kono ba ba kangwi.
And I besought thy disciples to 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 faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 “Mwana havakwiza luhuho lubi lwamuwisikeza hansi mi lwa mumbindanisa. Kono Jesu akalimela luhuho lubi ni kuholisa mwana, ni ku mubozekeza kubesi.
And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again 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 they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all 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.”
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.
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 perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.
46 Linu inkani chi zatanga mukati kavo zakuti njeni mukulwana mukati kabo.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 Kono Jesu, alemuha mihupulo yina mwinkulo zabo, ni cha hinda muhwile munini ni kumubika hafuhi naye,
And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him 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, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Johani chetava, “Simwine tu baboni muntu yo kwete kutanda badimona chezina lyako ni twa mukanisa, chokuti ka yendeleli naswe.”
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth 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 us, is for us.
51 Haho mazuva hanze achuta a kutwi atwalwe kwiulu, ni chahupula kulolelela kwa Jerusalema.
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Ni chatumina ñusa kubusu bwakwe, mi chivayenda kumunzi wa Masamaria kukalukisa zintu zonse.
And sent messengers before his face: and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to 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 as though he would go 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 when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
55 Kono a ba chevuka ni kubanyansa
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 mi ni chibayenda kumunzi u mwi.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. 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, that as they were going in the way, a certain [man] said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
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, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to 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, suffer me first to go 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.”
Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach 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, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go [and] bid them farewell who are at my house.
62 Jesu ni cha mwitava ni chati, “Ka kwina ubika iyanza lyakwe kumpilo ni kuchevuka kwisule u swanela Mumpuso ye Ireeza,”
And Jesus said to him, No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
