Mateu 17
1 Mazuba a mana iyanza ni limwina chinga amana Jesu chahinda Pitorosi ni Jakobo, ni Joani mwa chakwe, mi caba ntwala he lundu li nyemukite abo bene.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and his brother John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves,
2 Ca sanduka ha hasu bwabo. Vuluvi bwakwe cibwa sanduka ku benya sina izuba, zizwato zakwe cizasanduka sina iboni.
and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light,
3 Mubone cikwa boneka Mushe ni Eliia niba wambola naye.
and behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking together with Him.
4 Pitorosi ce taba, kwa Jesu. “Simwine, kambe kuwolekaa. Nitwe kala ha hanu halotu kuhitiliza. Haiba usaka, linu ime nina zaka zitomba zo tatwe chimwi cibe cako, chimwi ca Mushe, ni chimwi ca Eliia.”
And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Ha ba kwete kusi wamba, hamulole, muzunde we kope licena ciweza kuba wumba cikwa zwa izwi libali kuzwila mwikope ci, lyati. “Uzu nji Mwanangu inisuni kuhitiliza, ini kantwa, Mu muzuwe.”
While he is yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted; hear Him.”
6 Balutwana bazuwa, ciba suha nikuwa ca bulubi.
And the disciples having heard, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
7 Linu Jesu ceza ni kuba kwata cati, “Mubuke musiye kutiya.”
and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, “Rise, do not be afraid,”
8 Linu ci ba buka kono kena baba boni mutu konji Jesu yeke.
and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9 Haba suka hasi kuzwa he lundu, Jesu caba laya “kuti kanji ba wambili mutu mane nanga yeke ziba bona konji Mwana Muntu caka buka kuva fwile.”
And as they are coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Say to no one the vision, until the Son of Man may rise out of the dead.”
10 Balutwana ciba buza “cizi bañoli havati kuti Eliia eze lwe tazi?”
And His disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jesu cetava niku wamba kuti, kuwamba vuniti, “Elia mweze za boze zintu muzi be kalile.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and will restore all things,
12 Kono nimi ta kuti, Elia ca vezite kale, kono kana vava mwizivi civa panga zose zivava kusaka. Mwi zila iswana, Mwana Muntu mwa nyandiswe mu mayaza avo”.
and I say to you, Elijah already came, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.”
13 Valutwana vakwe civa lemuha kuti uwamba Joani yo koloveza.
Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.
14 Cinga vasika hakunganine batu, muntu ceza kwali, ca fukama havusu vwakwe, naco kuti,
And when they came to the multitude, there came to Him a man, kneeling down to Him,
15 “Simwine, fwile mwanangu inse, ulwala vutuku vwa kuzuminina unyanda maswe. Hamwi uwilinga mu mulilo kapa mu mezi.
and saying, “Lord, deal kindly with my son, for he is [a] lunatic, and suffers miserably, for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water,
16 Niva muletete kuva lutwana vako, niva kangwa ku muhoza.”
and I brought him near to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
17 Jesu cetava cati, “Murahi usa zumini utenda zi fosahele, Kani kale nanwe inako ikumahi? Mulete kunu kwangu.”
And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear you? Bring him to Me here”;
18 Jesu cakalimela luhuho lubilala. Muhwile cahola mwi nako yeyo.
and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
19 Balutwana ba Jesu chiveza kaku liwungula ku vamwi niku vuza, “cizi hatwa kangwa ku zwisa luhuho luvilala?”
Then the disciples having come to Jesus by Himself, said, “Why were we not able to cast him out?”
20 Jesu ca wamba kuvali, “kakuli mwina itumelo inini. Ni mi wambila vuniti vwizwile, hamuva nitumelo sina itanga yamasitete, muwola kuwambila ilundu, “zwaho uyende kuna,” muliyende ka kwina cense cili kanise.
And Jesus said to them, “Through your want of faith; for truly I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you,
21 Kono ulu luhuho lubilala kalu zwi feela haisi ca kulapela wa kuli nyima zilyo.”
[[and this kind does not go forth except in prayer and fasting.”]]
22 Niva sina mwa Galilea, Jesu ca wambila va lutwana vakwe, “Mwana muntu mwa tambikwe muma yaza abatu.
And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23 Mi muva mwi haye, mi mwi zuba lyabutatu mwa vuswe kuba fwile.” Mi ikulo zaba lutwana vakwe ciza coka luli.
and they will kill Him, and the third day He will rise,” and they were exceedingly sorry.
24 Chinga vasikna mwa Kapenauma, mukwame yo bona zamutelo nicha buza Pitorosi mane muruti wenu mane ulihanga mutelo?
And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachmas came near to Peter and said, “Your teacher—does He not pay the didrachmas?” He says, “Yes.”
25 Chati, “Eni” ulihanga. Kono Pitorosi cha yenda muzubo, Jesu cha wamba lwetanzi, “iwe uhupula vule Simoni? Masimwine be kanda va tambula mitelo izwa kubani? Kubazwa kule kamba kubatu bave kala navo?”
And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth—from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? From their sons or from the strangers?”
26 Pitorosi chinge taba kuti, kubatu “bazwakule,” Jesu cha mucho kuti “batu be chinsi kaba zumininwe kuliha mutelo.
Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free;
27 Kanji tuleteli yo lola zamitelo chivi, Yende kwi wate, kasohele kashuto kako mu mezi, Hinde iswi ye tazi wi yalule mulomo wayo mowane isheleni, uka itambike yobona zamitelo muchisa changu ni chako.”
but that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that has come up first take up, and having opened its mouth, you will find a stater, that having taken, give to them for Me and you.”
