Mareka 8
1 Mwaana mazuva, kuvali kwina hape chinavuungi chikando, mi kena vavena chimwi chokulya. Jesu cha sumpa varutwana vakwe ni kucho kuvali,
In those days, when there was a very large crowd that had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples over and said to them,
2 “Nina inse ku cinavuungi, kakuli vazwilile havusu kuva name cha mazuva o tatwe mi nivasena chivalya.
“I have compassion on the crowd because they have stayed with me now for three days and have nothing to eat.
3 Heva ni nivatumina kuya kumunzi wavo nivasalile vawola kuzuminina munzira. Imi vamwi kuvali vakazwa mulyendo lule.”
If I send them away to their homes without having eaten, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come from far away.”
4 Varutwana vakwe chiva mwitava, “Chokuhi kwete tuwane ziinkwa zilikeene mwechi chivaka chisena vaantu kutiveekute?”
His disciples answered him, “How can anyone feed these people with bread here in the wilderness?”
5 Cha vavuza, “Zongayi ziinkwa zimukwete?” Nichivati, “Iyanza ni tovere.”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 Cha layera chinavuungi kwi kala hansi. Cha hinda zinkwa zimana iyanza nizovere, chali tumera, ni kuzi gamoona. Naziha kuvarutwana vakwe kuvika havusu bwavo, mi chivazikaa havusu vwa chinavuungi.
So he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they set them before the crowd.
7 Mukuti navo vaavena inswi zilikene, imi hamana kuha buitumelo chavo, na laela varutwana kuziyava nazo.
They also had a few small fish. After blessing the fish, Jesus told the disciples to set them before the crowd as well.
8 Nivalya nikwikuta. Imi nivatotola vufwafwali vuvashele, ziseye zikando zimana iyaza nizo vere.
The people ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
9 Vantu vavakusaka kulikana lule lone. Ni chava tumina kuyenda.
There were about four thousand men who had eaten. After sending them away,
10 Hohwaho chechila muchikepe ni varutwana vakwe, niva yenda muchikiliti cha Dalumanuta.
Jesus immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 varisi niveza kuzwa nikutanga kukanana naye. Niva muvuza chisupo chizwila kwiwulu kumulika.
Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him.
12 Natuliza muhuza muluhuho nikucho, “Chizi ulu lusika lwahanu halukumbila chisupo? Chabu niti kwenu, kakwina chisupo chete nichihewe kolu lusika.”
Sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 Linu chava siya, nechila muchikepe niku yenda kuyimwi imbali.
Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went away to the other side of the sea.
14 Lyahanu varutwana nivazivala kulihindila zilyo. Kena vavena nanga chikwa chihitilila chimwina muchikepe.
Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had nothing with them in the boat except for one loaf.
15 Navakalimela nati, mulole imi mugantele, “mulungo wa Mafarisi ni mulungo wa Heroda.”
Then Jesus gave them strict orders, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 Varutwana nichi vavuzana, “Kakuti katwina Chiinkwa.”
So they discussed this with one another, saying, “He must have said this because we have no bread.”
17 Jesu avakwizi zechi, ni chacho kuvali, “Chinzi hamuvuzana kazakusava ni chiinkwa? Kana nahanu kamu zuwi? Kamu zuwisisa? Inkulo zenu za sanduka kusa tekeleza?
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts still hardened?
18 Mwina menso, kamuvoni? Mwina matwi, kamuzuwi? Kamuzezi?
Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? Do you not remember?
19 Hani gamoona ziinkwa zimana iyanza mukati kavaantu vena lule vuhinda iyanza, zi seye zongayi zivezuli vufwalifwali vwa Chiikwa zimu vahindi?” Chivati kwali, “Ikumi lyonke nizovere.”
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
20 Imi hani gamoona ziinkwa zi hinda iyanza nizovere, mukati kavaantu vena lule luhinda minwe yoone, zitanda zongayi zivezuli zimuva hindi?” Chivacho kwali, “Zihinda iyanza nizovere.”
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said, “Seven.”
21 Chati, “Nahanu kamu zuwisisi?”
Then he said to them, “How is it that you do not understand?”
22 Niveza kwa Betisaida. Vaantu uko chiva leta kwali mukwame yasavoni ni kukumbira Jesu kuti a muwoonde.
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, some people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 Jesu chawoonda mukwame yasavoni kwi yanza, ni kumutwala kunze yo munzi. Hachaswira ha menso akwe ni kuvika mayanza akwe hali, Chamu vuza, “Kwina cho vona?”
So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man's eyes, laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw anything.
24 Nichalola mwiwulu, ni kucho, “Ni vweene vantu vayenda ili zisamu.”
The man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Linu cha muvika hape mayanza akwe hamenso akwe, imi mukwame che yalula menso akwe, chavozekezwa kuvona kwakwe, ni chavona zintu zonse neenza.
So Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes again and had him look up. Then the man's sight was restored, and he saw everyone clearly.
26 Jesu cha mutumina kunzuvo yakwe ni kucho, “Kanji winjili mwitoropo.”
And Jesus sent him away to his house, saying, “Do not go into the village or tell anyone in the village what has happened.”
27 Jesu a vayendi ni varutwana vakwe muminzi ya Sizaria Filipi. Munzira cha vuza varutwana vakwe, “Vaantu vata kunti njeme ni?”
Then Jesus went on to the villages of Caesarea Philippi along with his disciples. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
28 Chiva mwitava ni kucho, “Johani Mukolovezi. Vamwi vacho, 'Eliya' imi vamwi, 'Zumwi wa kuvaporofita.'”
They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are one of the prophets.”
29 Chava vuza, “Inwe mucho kuti njeme ni?” Pitorosi chati kwali, “Njewe Keresite.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “Yoʋ are the Christ.”
30 Jesu chavakalimera kusa wambila nanga umwiina kakwe.
And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
31 Imi chatanga kuvaruta kuti Mwana wa Muntu uyelele kusukuluka zintu zingi, imi mwa kanwa kuvakulwana ni vapurisita vakulwana ni vañoli, imi kehayiwe, imi hakumana mazuva otatwe kavuuke.
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 Nawamba ichi chokujoloza. Linu Pitolosi na muhindira ku bali ni kukatanga kumukalimera.
He was stating the matter plainly, so Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 Kono Jesu nachevuka ni kulolelela kuvarutwana vakwe ni ku kalimera Pitorosi ni kucho, “Voole mwisule lyangu, Satani! Kovileli ni zintu za Ireeza, kono chanzintu zavaantu.”
But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For yoʋ are not thinking about the things of God, but the things of men.”
34 Linu cha sumpa chinavuuungi ni varutwana vakwe hamwina, ni kucho kuvali, “heva zumwi usaka kunichilira, u swanera kulikana iye mwine, anyemune chifapano chakwe, ni kunichilira.
Then he called the crowd over, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be one of my disciples, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Kakuti yense yosaka kuhaza vuhalo vwakwe ka vusinyeherwe, imi yense yo sinyeherwa vuhalo vwakwe chevaka lyangu ni lya Ivangeli, mwa vuhaze.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the gospel will save it.
36 Chinzi chawana muntu, ku waana inkanda yonse, ni kusinyeherwa vuhalo bwakwe?
For what will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul?
37 Chinzi muntu chawola kuha mu kuchinchana ni vuhalo vwakwe?
Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?
38 Yense yoni swavera ni maanzwi angu munu muchivi cha lusika, Mwaana o Muntu ka muswavere hakeza munkaanya Ivesi hamwina ni mailoi a jolola.”
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 the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
