Luka 9
1 A Yeshu gubhaashemilenje pamo likumi limo na bhabhili bhala, gubhaapelenje mashili na ukulungwa kupunda maoka gowe na kulamya ilwele.
He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 Gubhaatumilenje bhajendangananje kulunguya Upalume gwa a Nnungu na kulamya bhalwelenji.
He sent them forth to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmwanja gwenunji nnajamulanje shindu shoshowe, wala imbo, wala nkobha, wala shalya, wala mmbiya, wala likoti lya tindiganya.
And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey—neither staff, nor pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 Na nyumba jojowe jishimposhelwanje, ntamangane penepo mpaka lyubha lishinjabhulangane.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Bhandu bhakamposhelanje, nshokangane shene shilambosho na punkujabhulanga mwikung'undanje litutuli lya mmakongono genunji, ibhe shilangulo kuti, bhashikananga ashaayene ntenga gwa Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
6 Bhai gubhajabhulengenenje pitalunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, shijiji na shijiji na lamya bhalwelenji kila mmbali.
They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
7 Numbe bhakulungwa a Elode bhakapilikaneje gowe gatendeshe, gubhatengwishe, pabha bhandu bhananji bhatendaga bheleketanga kuti, “A Yowana bhashiyuka.”
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 Bhana kuti a Eliya bhashikoposhela, bhana kuti ankulondola bha bhukala bhashiyuka.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Ikabheje a Elode gubhashite, “Monaga a Yowana bho naainjile, lelo jwene jungupilikana ngani jakwejo gani?” Gubhakwete lilaka lya kummona.
Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.
10 Mitume bhala bhakabhujanganeje, gubhaatalashiyenje Yeshu yowe ibhatendilenje. A Yeshu gubhaatolilelenje, nigubhapitenabhonji kujika mpaka shilambo sha ku Bhetishaida.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.
11 Ikabheje bhandunjibhala bhakamumanyanjeje kubhapite, gubhaakagulenje. A Yeshu gubhaaposhelenje, gubhajigenye ga ngani ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na kwaalamyanga bhandu bhapingangaga kulamywa.
But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Lyubha lilititimila, likumi limo na bhabhili bhala gubhapite kwaalugulilanga, “Mwaalajilanje bhandunji bhajendangane mwilambo na mmigunda ja tome, bhakaloleyanje shalya na mwagona, pabha putuli pano pakonde.”
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
13 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mmanganya mwaapanganje shalya.” Gubhajangulenje, “Twangali shalya, ikabhe mikate nng'ano na yamaki ibhilipe. Igala tukaume shalya sha bhandu bhowebha!”
But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
14 Pabha pepala, pubhalinginji bhanabhalume kuishila elupu nng'ano. Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Mwaatamikanje makundi ga bhandu makumi nng'ano nng'ano.”
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 Bhaajiganywa gwaatendilenje malinga shibhabhalanjilwenje, gubhaatamikenje bhowe.
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Kungai a Yeshu gubhatolile mikate nng'ano na yamaki ibhili ila, gwaalolile kunani kunnungu, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu ga mikate na yamaki ila, gubhagebhenye na gubhaapelenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhaapanganje bhandunji.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Gubhalilenje bhandu bhowe, mpaka kujukuta, gubhalokotenyenje ipande ya malepei, nigumbaya ikapu likumi limo na ibhili.
They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhatendaga juga Nnungu jikape, bhaajiganywa bhabho bhalinginji tome popo. Bhai a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala bhandunji bhakutinji nne gani?”
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 Nigubhaajangwilenje, “Bhananji bhakutinji, mmwe a Yowana Bhabhatisha, na bhananji, bhakutinji mmwe a Eliya, na bhananji bhakutinji, mmwe ankulondola bha bhukala bhashiyuka.”
They answered, "'John the Baptist,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
20 Penepo a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Na mmanganya nkutinji bhuli, nne gani?” A Petili gubhajangwile, “Mwe a Kilishitu bha a Nnungu.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."
21 Penepo a Yeshu gubhaalimbiyenje na kwaalajiyanga bhanammalanjilanje mundu jojowe jene nganijo.
But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 A Yeshu gubhashite. “Mwana juka Mundu shapate mboteko yaigwinji, na shakanwe na bhanangulungwa na bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha shalia, na bhulagwa, ikabheje lyubha lya tatu shayushe.”
saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
23 Kungai gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandu bhowe, “Mundu jojowe apinga ngagula nne, anapinjikwa aikane nnyene, ajigale nshalabha gwakwe, angagule.
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Pabha mundu apinga kuutapula nnyene gumi gwakwe, shaaguobhye, ikabheje apinga kuguobhya gumi gwakwe kwa ligongo lya ngu nne, shaagutapule.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25 Bhuli shiimpwae nndi mundu, kupata indu yowe ya pa shilambolyo kwa obhya gumi gwakwe, eu kwiititimiya nnyene?
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Pabha mundu jojowe amonela oni nne ga majiganyo gangu, Mwana juka Mundu shammonele oni jwenejo, lyubha lya shajiye muukonjelo gwakwe, na gwa Atati na shilangaya sha ukonjelo gwa ashimalaika bha kunnungu.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Ngunakummalanjilanga kweli, pano pepano bhapalinji bhananji bhakawanganga mpaka bhaubhonanje Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God."
28 Gakaishileje mobha nane, bhakabheleketeje genego a Yeshu gubhaatolilenje a Petili, a Yowana na a Yakobho, gubhalongenenabhonji kushitumbi kukwaajuga a Nnungu.
It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 Pubhaaliji nkwaajuga a Nnungu, nigubhapindikwishe kumeyo, nngubho yabho niwejela akuno ilimelemeta kwa kaje.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Shangupe bhandunji bhabhili a Musha na a Eliya gubhabhonekenje bhalikunguluka nabhonji.
And look, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 Bhashinkubhonekanga bhalinginji na Ukonjelo, gubhakungulukenje ga nnganya ja bhulagwa kwabho shijipinga malila ku Yelushalemu.
who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 A Petili na ashaajabhonji bhashinkugonanga lugono lwa tapatapa, ikabheje bhakajumukanjeje, gubhashibhweninji shilangaya sha Ukonjelo Gwapuya gwa a Yeshu na bhandunji bhabhili bhali bhajimi nabhonji.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Bhai a Musha na a Eliya bhalijabhulangana kwaaleka a Yeshu, a Petili gubhaalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, shiipwae uwe tubhe apano! Bhai tushenje mishati jitatu, gumo gwenu, gumo gwa a Musha na gumo gwa a Eliya.” Ikabheje a Petili bhakaimanyaga ibhabheleketaga.
It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
34 A Petili bhali nkubheleketa genego, gulikoposhele liunde nikwaunishilanga, lyene liundelyo pulyaunishilangaga nigubhajogopenje kaje.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Lilobhe likupilikanikaga kukoposhela nniunde mula. “Jweneju ni Mwanangu juninng'agwile, mumpilikanishiyanje.”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."
36 Likapilikanisheje lyene lilobhelyo, a Yeshu gubhabhoneshe bhali jikape. Bhaajiganywa gwaatemingene ilili. Na gene mobha gala bhangannugulilanga mundu indu yoyowe ibhaibhwenenje ila.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 Pamalabhi gakwe, bhalielelanga kukopoka kushitumbi na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhatatu bhala, gubhaimikene na likundi likulungwa lya bhandu.
It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a large crowd met him.
38 Penepo mundu jumo nnikundi mula, gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “Mmaajiganya, shonde munjangutile mwanangu jwa jikaju!
And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Anashikilwa lioka, nikuntenda ajobhele na kunngwiya shialala, akuno shiulo shilikunkopoka nkang'wa. Alipunda kumpoteka kwa kaje na wala akakunneka shangu.
And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Naajujilenje bhaajiganywa bhenu bhanshoyanje, ikabheje bhangakombolanga.”
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."
41 A Yeshu gubhashite, “Mmanganya lubheleko lwangali ngulupai na lwa puganika! Shiniipililile kutama na mmanganya mpaka shakani?” Kungai gubhaabhalanjile bhandu bhala, “Munnjienajo mwana jwenujo apano.”
Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
42 Mwana jula alikwiya kwa a Yeshu, lioka akunngwiyaga shialala. Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhankalipile lioka jula anshoshe, mwana jula gwalamiywe, gubhankamwiye kwa ainagwe.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Bhandu bhowe gubhakanganigwenje, kwa ukulungwa gwa mashili ga a Nnungu. Bhandunji bhala bhalinginji nkukanganigwa kwa yowe ibhaaitendile a ila, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho,
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Mpilikanishiyanje gegano. Mwana juka Mundu apinga kamuywa mmakono ga bhandu.”
"Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men."
45 Ikabheje bhalabhonji bhangagamanyanga malombolelo ga shene shibheleketosho. Pabha shashinkuiywa kupinga bhanashimanyanje, na bhalabhonji gubhajogopenje kwaabhuya malombolelo ga shene shibheleketosho.
But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Gujikoposhele mitau munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa, kuti gani jwankulungwa kupunda bhowe.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 A Yeshu bhashinkwiimanya ng'aniyo yaliji mmitima jabhonji, bhai gubhantolile mwana jwanshoko, gubhannjimishe tome na bhayene,
Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 gubhaalugulilenje, “Mundu jojowe akumposhela jwene mwana jwa nshokoju kwa lina lyangu, anamboshela nne na jojowe amboshela nne anakwaposhela bhandumile bhala. Pabha ali jwanshoko munkumbi gwenunji, jwenejo jwankulungwa.”
and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one is great."
49 A Yowana gubhabhelekete, “Mmakulungwa, tushikwaabhona bhandu bhamo bhalishoya maoka kwa lina lyenu, gutulinjile kwaibhilila, pabha nngabha alongani ajetu.”
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnang'ibhililanje pabha akakuntaukangajo nnjenunji.”
Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 Mobha ga tolwa a Yeshu kwenda kunani kunnungu gakabhandishileje, gubhatumbilile kwenda ku Yelushalemu.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Bhai gubhaatumilenje mitume bhalongolelanje, na bhalabhonji gwaapitengene kushilambo shimo sha Bhashamalia nkupinga bhakaalashiyanje paishila.
and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 Ikabheje bhashilambo bha pepala gubhakanilenje kwaaposhela, pabha a Yeshu bhaliji mmwanja kwenda ku Yelushalemu.
But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 Bhai, bhaajiganywa bhabho, a Yowana na a Yakobho, bhakabhonanjeje nneila, nigubhashitenje, “Mmakulungwa, nnipinga tusheme moto kunnungu kugwatiniyanje?”
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
55 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaatendeushilenje nikwaakalipilanga.
And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Spirit you belong to.
56 A Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhapitengenenje shilambo shina.
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 Bhalikwendangana mumpanda, mundu jumo gwabhabhalanjile a Yeshu, “Shininkagule kokowe kushinnjende.”
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
58 A Yeshu gubhashite, “Nansheto akwete lishembo, na ijuni ikwete maui, ikabheje Mwana juka Mundu jwangali nkali pa pumulila.”
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59 Kungai gubhannugulile mundu juna, “Ngagula.” Ikabheje jwenejo gwashite, “Mmakulungwa, nneshe oti ngaashishe atati.”
He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhammalanjile, “Gwalekanje bhawilenje bhashikane ashaayene, ugwe ujende ukalunguye Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."
61 Na mundu juna gwabhabhalanjile, “Mmakulungwa shininkagule, ikabheje nneshe oti ngalajile kumui.”
Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62 A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Jojowe akamwile lijela nitandubha kulima, atendebhukaga kulola nnyuma, jwenejo akapwaa mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
