Luka 9
1 Yesu kawashemiti wantumini lilongu na awili pamuhera na kuwayupa makakala na uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera woseri na kuponiziya malweri.
Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 Shakapanu kawatumiti wegendi wakabweri visoweru vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu na kuwaponiziya walweli,
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
3 kayi kawagambira, “Munjira mwamgenda namtola shintu shoseri, namtola lukongoshu ama muhaku, namtola shiboga ama mpiya, ama lishati lya shigibakiru.
And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
4 Poseri pawawashemerani, mwikali mnumba ilii mpaka pamuwuka muisi ilii,
And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
5 viraa vilii wantu pawalema kuwashemerani mwenga, mwuki mlushi alu na mpukuti lidika lya litapaka mumagulu mwenu haiweri likalipiru kwawomberi.”
And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”
6 Su wantumintumi wanja mwanja kugenda muvijiji vyoseri, pawabwera visoweru viwagila na kuwaponiziya wantu kila pahala.
And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
7 Mtuwa Herodi mkolamlima gwa Galilaya, kapikaniriti goseri aga gagalawiriti, su gamupunganikiti nentu toziya wantu wamonga watakuliti kuwera Yohani Mbatiza kazyuka.
Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
8 Wamonga watakuliti kuwera Eliya kalawira na wamonga walonga kuwera yumu gwa wambuyi wa makashu wa Mlungu kazyuka.
by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”
9 Herodi kalonga, “Yohani numdumuliti mtuwi, muntu ayu yampikanira ndo gaa?” Su kendereyiti kumsakula Yesu.
And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
10 Wantumintumi walii pawawuyiti, wamgambiriti Yesu vyoseri vyawatenditi. Yesu kawatola, wagenda gwekayawu lushi lwawalushema Betisayida.
And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
11 Kumbiti lipinga lya wantu pawavimaniti kala aga, wamgenderiti. Yesu kawashemera na kayoweriti nawa visoweru viwagila vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu na kuwaponiziya woseri wawafiriti kuponiziwa.
But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.
12 Mshenji paguweriti gwankuzyeta, wantumini lilongu na awili wamgenderiti na kulonga, “Guwagambiri wantu wagendi, kuvijiji na mumalambu ga pakwegera wakasakuli shiboga pamuwera na pahala pakugonja, toziya pahala panu patuwera pantundu.”
Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”
13 Kumbiti Yesu kawagambira, “Mwenga muwapanani shintu sha kuliya.” Womberi walonga, “Twana mabumunda mhanu na wasomba awili hera. Gufira twenga tugendi twakawahemeleri shiboga lipinga lya wantu woseri awa?”
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”
14 Wapalu hera yawaweriti palii, waweriti gambira elufu muhanu hangu. Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Muwagambiri walivagi vipinga vipinga vya malongu muhanu.”
Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
15 Su wafundwa pawatenditi kala ntambu yakawagambiriti,
And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
16 Yesu katola mabumunda muhanu galii na wasomba awili, kaloliti kumpindi na kalonga mayagashii Mlungu, kagamega kawapanana wafundwa wakuwi wawagawili wantu.
Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
17 Wantu waliya mpaka wikuta na wantumintumi wasola majamanda lilongu na mawili ga vilii vyavisigaliti.
And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
18 Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti kankuluwa Mlungu gweka yakuwi, wafundwa wakuwi wamwizira. Su Yesu kawakosiya, “Wantu walonga neni nagaa?”
And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 Womberi wamwankula, “Wamonga walonga gwenga gwa Yohani Mbatiza na wamonga walonga gwenga gwa Eliya na wamonga walonga gwenga gwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu gwa makashu yakahowiti vinu kazyuka.”
But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”
20 Su nayomberi kawakosiya, “Hashi, mwenga mlonga neni nagaa?” Peteru kamwankula, “Gwenga gwa Kristu Mlopoziya yagulagaliritwi na Mlungu.”
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
21 Shakapanu Yesu kawalagalira pakalonga nawamgambira muntu yoseri shisoweru ashi.
But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
22 Yesu kawagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu mpaka katabiki na kulemwa na wazewi na watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa Malagaliru. Hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”
23 Na kawagambira woseri, “Muntu yoseri pakafira kaweri na neni, mpaka kalilemi mweni, katoli lupingika lwakuwi mashaka goseri na kanfati.
Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.
24 Muntu yoseri yakafira kugaponiziya makaliru gakuwi hakagamili na yoseri yakagamiziya ukomu wakuwi kwa kunfata neni hakagalopoziyi.
For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
25 Hashi, kwana mbotu gaa muntu pakapata vintu vyoseri vya pasipanu, kumbiti mweni pakagamila? Yina ndiri!
For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
26 Muntu pakamonera soni neni pamuhera na mafundu gangu, Mwana gwa Muntu hakamwoneri soni muntu ayu shipindi pakiza muukwisa wakuwi na ukwisa wa Tati na ukwisa wa wantumintumi wananagala wa kumpindi.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.
27 Nukugambirani nakaka, kwana wamonga palaa panu hapeni wahowi mpaka wauwoni Ufalumi wa Mlungu.”
And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Palipititi lijuwa kwanjira pakalongiti galiya, Yesu kawatoliti Peteru, na Yohani na Yakobu, kagenditi nawomberi mpaka kulugongu kuluwa Mlungu.
And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.
29 Pakaweriti kankumluwa Mlungu, nshimba yakuwi igalambuka na nguwu zyakuwi ziwera neru mbuu.
And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30 Palaa paliya wantu awili waweriti paliya wankuyowera nayomberi. Wantu walii waweriti Musa na Eliya,
And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
31 yawalawiriti muukwisa wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, waweriti wankuyowera na Yesu ntambu yakugumalilira mpangu gwa Mlungu gwa kuhowa kwakuwi kulii Yerusalemu.
And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Peteru na wayaguwi waweriti wankugonja, kumbiti wimukiti na kuwona ukwisa wa Yesu na wantu awili wagolokiti pamuhera nayomberi.
Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.
33 Su wantu awili walii paweriti wankuwuka, Peteru kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa, iherepa twenga kulikala panu! Su hatunyawi visasa vitatu, shimu shaku na shamonga sha Musa na shamonga sha Eliya.” Nakaka kavimaniti ndiri shakatakula.
And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.
34 Peteru pakatakuliti hangu, palaa paliya lilawira liwundi lizotopa liwagubika na liwundi ali paliwawiziriti wantumini walii weniti lyoga nentu.
Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
35 Wapikinira liziwu kulawa muliwundi lilonga, “Ayu ndo mwana gwangu yanumsyaguliti, mumpikaniri.”
And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
36 Liziwu lyawalipikiniriti palinyamaliti kala, wamwona kayi Yesu kagweka yakuwi. Wantumintumi pawaoniti hangu wanyamalira jii na shipindi shilii wamgambira ndiri muntu vilii vyawawoniti.
And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.
37 Shirawu yakuwi Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi watatu pawaweriti wankulawa kulugongu, lipinga likulu lya wantu waliwoniti na Yesu.
But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 Muntu yumu mulipinga lilii kabota pakalonga, “Mfunda! Nukuhiga gwakamloli mwana gwangu, mwana gwangu gwa gweka!
And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.
39 Shamshera kamgaziyaga, pamonga kamtenda katendi umatu na pamonga kamtenda kaweri na shisirika na lifulufulu limlawa mumlomu. Kendereyiti kumgaziya nentu pota nakumlekeziya kanongola.
And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.
40 Nuwaluwiti wafundwa wakuwi wamwusiyi shamshera kumbiti wasinda.”
And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
41 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga shiyiwuku shahera moyu na shana vidoda! Hashi hankali na mwenga na panuwahepelera mpaka ndii?” Shakapanu kamgambira muntu uliya, “Gumjegi mwana gwaku panu.”
And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”
42 Mndemba ulii pakaweriti kankumgendera Yesu, shamshera uliya kamgusiya pasi, kumtenda shisirika. Kumbiti Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, kamuponiziya mndemba, su kamupa tati gwakuwi.
And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
43 Wantu woseri walikangashiti kwa uwezu mkulu wa Mlungu. Wantu pawaweriti wankali wankulikangasha kila shintu shakatenditi Yesu, yomberi kawagambiriti wafundwa wakuwi,
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
44 “Namlyaluwa shanuwagambiriti! Mwana gwa Muntu hawambati mumawoku ga wantu.”
And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 Kumbiti wafundwa werewiti ndiri ntambu yakatakuliti. Shitwatira ashi shiweriti shififwa kwawomberi nawavimani, womberi watira kumkosiya ntambu yakatakuliti.
But they did not understand this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.
46 Palawiriti magambiziyanu pakati pawu wantumintumi walii, gaa yakaweriti mkulu nentu.
Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
47 Yesu kavimaniti shawaliholiti, su kamtola mwana mdidini, kamgolosiya pakwegera na mweni,
But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
48 na kawagambira, “Muntu yoseri ulii yakamshemera mwana mdidini ayu kwa litawu lyangu, kanshemera neni na yoseri yakanshemera neni, viraa kamshemera yumu ulii yakantumiti. Yoseri yakaweriti mdidini pakati penu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri.”
And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
49 Yohani kankula, “Mtuwa, tumwoniti muntu pakawusiya washamshera kwa litawu lyaku na twenga tumubera, toziya kaweriti ndiri mushipinga shetu.”
And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”
50 Yesu kamgambira, “Namuwabera, toziya yoseri yakamlema ndiri yumu pakati penu, kawuwega wa twenga gwenu.”
And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
51 Shipindi pashiweriti pakwegera sha Yesu mewamtoli kugenda kumpindi, yomberi kagonjera mwanja gwa Yerusalemu.
Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Kawatumiti wajumbi wamlongoleri na womberi wagenda mpaka mushijiji shimu sha Wasamariya, wamnyawili kila shintu.
And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 Kumbiti wenikaya walema kumshemera toziya yomberi kaweriti kankugenda Yerusalemu.
And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 Su wafundwa wakuwi, ashina Yohani na Yakobu, pawawoniti hangu walonga, “Mtuwa, gufira tugushemi motu kulawa kumpindi guwagamiziyi?”
And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
55 Yesu kawagalambukira na kawakalipira.
And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
56 Shakapanu Yesu na wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi mushijiji shimonga.
The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
57 Pawaweriti munjira wankugenda, muntu yumu kamgambira Yesu, “Hanukufati koseri kwagugenda.”
And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”
58 Yesu kamgambira, “Vibweta wawera na mpanga na wampongu wawera na vitukulu kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu kahera pahala pa kwoyera.”
Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 Kamgambira muntu gwingi, “Gunfati.” Kumbiti muntu ulii kalonga, “Mtuwa, gundeki huti nakamsiri tati gwangu.”
Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Yesu kamwankula, “Guwaleki wahowiti wawasiri wayawu wawahowiti. Gwenga gugendi gwakawubweri ufalumi wa Mlungu.”
And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”
61 Kuweriti na muntu gwingi yakamgambira Yesu, “Hanukufati Mtuwa, kumbiti gundeki huti ng'endi kuwaaga wantu wa ukaya kwangu.”
And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
62 Yesu kamgambira, “Muntu yoseri pakanja kulima, pakagalambuka na kulola kumbeli kafaa ndiri kutenda lihengu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.”
Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
