Maluko 8
1 Lukumbi lwenulo, msambi uvaha wa vandu wakonganiki kavili hinu vavi lepi na chakulya, na Yesu avakemili vawuliwa vaki, akavajovela,
In those days, the multitude being very large and not having anything to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them:
2 “Nikuvahengela lipyana vandu venava muni vatamii na nene mu ligono la datu, nambu vavi lepi na chakulya.
“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me three days now and have nothing to eat.
3 Ngati nikavajovela vawuya kunyumba na njala yati vihinduka munjila, muni vangi vahumili kutali.”
If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will give out on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
4 Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota, “Penapa palugangatu yati tipata koki mabumunda ga kuvayukutisa vandu voha ava?”
His disciples answered Him, “From what source could anyone satisfy these people with bread here in a wilderness?”
5 Yesu akavakota, “Muvi na mabumunda galinga?” Vakamyangula. “Gavii saba.”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Hinu, akavalagiza vandu vatama pahi. Akagatola mabumunda gala saba, akamsengusa Chapanga, akayimetula, akavapela vawuliwa vaki vavagavanisilayi vandu, navene vakavagavila.
So He told the crowd to sit down on the ground; then taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before the crowd, and they did.
7 Vavi mewa na somba zidebedebe. Yesu akayimotisa, mewawa akalagazila vawuliwa vaki vavagavila vandu.
They also had a few small fish; so blessing them He said to distribute them as well.
8 Vandu valili na kuyukuta. Kangi vawuliwa vakanonga masigalilu na kumemesa madengu saba.
Well they ate and were filled; they even took up seven hampers of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Vandu vevalili vavi ngati elufu mcheche. Yesu peamali kuvalaga,
Now those who had eaten were about four thousand; and He sent them away.
10 Bahapo Yesu akayingila muwatu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki, vakahamba kumulima wa Dalimanuta.
Then He got right into the boat with His disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Vafalisayu vangi vakambwela na kutumbula kujovesana na Yesu. Vamlingili, vamganayi avalangisa ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.
The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, requesting of Him a sign from heaven, by way of testing Him.
12 Nambu Yesu mtima wamvinili neju na akajova, “Ndava kyani vandu va chiveleku ichi vigana ulangisu? Chakaka nikuvajovela, vandu va chiveleku ichi vipewa lepi ulangisu!”
But He sighed deeply in His spirit and said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you emphatically, no sign shall be given to this generation!”
13 Kangi akavaleka akayingila kavili muwatu, akakupuka kuhamba kumwambu ya nyanja.
Turning His back on them, He got back into the boat and went off to the other side.
14 Vawuliwa vakosiwi kutola mabumunda yamahele, ndi vavi na libumunda limonga ndu muwatu.
(His disciples had forgotten to take bread; they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.)
15 Yesu akavalagiza, “Mlola neju! Mjiyangalila na ngemeku ya Vafalisayu na ngemeku ya Helodi.”
And He charged them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 Vawuliwa vakatumbula kukotana vene kwa vene, “Ijova chenichi ndava tangali mabumunda.”
So they started reasoning among themselves, saying, “It's because we have no bread.”
17 Yesu agamanyili gala gevajovisini akavajovela, “Ndava kyani mkotana ndava ya mabumunda? Wu, mwakona mwangamanya amala mwangalola? Wu, ndava kyani mwiholalela lepi?
Being aware of it Jesus said to them: “Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you still neither perceive nor understand? Do you still have hearts that have been hardened?
18 Muna mihu nambu mwilola lepi? Muvi na makutu nambu mwiyuwana lepi? Wu, mukosiwi
Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear, and do you not remember?
19 lukumbi lula panakametwili mabumunda mhanu na kuvapela vandu elufu mhanu mwamemisi masigalilu madengu galinga?” Vakamyangula, “Madengu kumi na gavili.”
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
20 Akavakota kavili, “Na panametwili mabumunda saba na kuvapela vandu elufu mcheche mwamemisi masigalilu madengu galinga?” Vene vakamyangula, “Madengu saba.”
“And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 Hinu, akavajovela, “Pamonga na ago, wu, mwakona mwangamanya?”
So He said to them, “How is it that you still don't understand?”
22 Yesu ahikili ku Betisaida pamonga na vawuliwa vaki. Kwenuko vandu vakamletela ngalola, vakamuyupa ampamisa muni amlamisa.
Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.
23 Yesu amkamwili chiwoko ngalola yula, ampeliki kuvala ya chijiji. Akamhunyila mata mumihu, akampamisa mawoko, akamkota “Wu, wihotola kulola chindu?”
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
24 Ngalola yula akalola, akajova “Nikuvalola vandu vevilolekana ngati mikongo yeyigenda.”
And looking up he said, “I do see men, only they look like walking trees.”
25 Kangi Yesu akampamisa kavili mawoko mumihu, mwene akamuhutusila mihu, uhotola waki wa kulola ukamuwuyila namwene akalola.
Then He put His hands on his eyes again, and made him look up; and he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
26 Yesu akamjovela awuya kunyumba yaki na kumlagiza “Ukotoka kuwuya ku Betisaida.”
Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the village nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 Kangi Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vahambili kuvijiji vya pandu ku Kaisalia Filipi. Pevavi munjila, Yesu akavakota vawuliwa vaki, “Vandu vijova nene ndi nayani?”
Then Jesus and His disciples set out for the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who are people saying that I am?”
28 Vakamyangula, “Vangi vijova veve ndi Yohani Mbatizaji na vangi vijova veve ndi Eliya na vangi vijova veve ndi mmonga wa Valota va Chapanga.”
So they answered, “John the Baptist; others Elijah; still others one of the prophets.”
29 Kangi Yesu akavakota, “Na nyenye mwijova nene kuvya ndi yani?” Petili akamyangula, “Veve ndi Kilisitu, mweuhaguliwi na Chapanga.”
He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” So Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ!”
30 Kangi Yesu akavalagiza vakotoka kumjovela mundu yeyoha kuvya mwene ndi Kilisitu.
Then He charged them that they should tell no one about Him.
31 Kangi Yesu atumbwili kuvawula vawuliwa vaki, kuvya yikumgana “Mwana wa Mundu kung'ahika na kubelelewa na vagogo na vakulu va kuteta na Vawula va Malagizu. Kangi yati ikomiwa, nambu pa ligono la datu yati iyuka.”
He then began to teach them that the Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Yesu avajovili lijambu lenilo hotohoto. Penapo, Petili akamtola pamuhana akatumbula akamhakalila akotoka kujova mambu ago.
He said these things quite plainly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 Nambu Yesu akang'anamuka akavalolokesa vawuliwa vaki, akamhakalila Petili, akamjovela, “Setani, wuka palongolo yangu! Maholo gaku gihuma lepi kwa Chapanga, nambu ga umundu.”
But He turned, looked at His disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: “Get behind me, Satan! You have in mind men's values, not God's values.”
34 Kangi Yesu akaukemela msambi wa vandu na vawuliwa vaki akavajovela, “Ngati mundu yeyoha igana kunilanda nene yikumgana ajibela mwene na agega msalaba waki anilandayi.
He summoned the crowd, along with His disciples, and said to them: “Whoever wants to follow along behind me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
35 Ndava mundu mweigana kusangula wumi waki, yati akuuyagisa, nambu mundu mweakuuyagisa wumi waki ndava ya nene na ndava ya Lilovi la Bwina, yati akuusangula.
Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel's, he will save it.
36 Wu, chiyonjokeseka kyani mundu kupata mulima woha na kuuyagisa fwasi ya kuyingila muwumi wa magono goha?
Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
37 Mundu yati iwusa chindu kiki muni apatayi wumi wa magono goha?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Ngati mundu yeyoha muvandu va chiveleku ichi chihakau na chechimbudili Chapanga ngati ikola soni kwa nene na malovi gangu, Mwana wa Mundu yati akumulolela soni mundu mwenuyo, lukumbi peibwela muukulu wa Dadi waki pamonga na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vamsopi.”
Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of the Man will also be ashamed of Him whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy Angels.”
