Maluko 9
1 Ayanjile wabhene, “Lwoliiyanga hulimwi bhawili abhanthu abhabhimilile epha ambao hagabhaibhoja ufye shausilye utawala uwa Ngulubhi pawayinza wikhone.”
“I tell you,” he added, “that some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the kingdom of God come in power.”
2 Na bada yinshikutanda, uYesu abhega aPetulo, Yakobo na Yohana palishimo numwene wigamba, bhene. Ndipo ahandile agaluhane mbele yao.
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain alone by themselves. There his appearance was transformed before their eyes,
3 Amenda gakwe gaga luhana gana amulishe alabhe sana nabhe mazelu zaidi uzeluuwasa bhulavha wabhonthi munthi.
and his clothes became whiter than any launderer in the whole world could bleach them.
4 Phepo aEliya pamoja nu Mose bhahafumila witazi lwabho, bhali bhayanga nu Yesu.
And Elijah appeared to them, in company with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 U Petulo ajibula uYesu, “Umwalimo, shinza ati akhale epa, shimo shaliwe, shimo kwa ajili ya Mose na isha mwabhosha Eliya.”
“Rabbi,” said Peter, interposing, “it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 (Haga amenye ahawaziwa ayanje, bhahogopha sana.)
For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid.
7 Ibhingo lwa fumila nabha kwi shile. Ipo isauti ihafuma mwibhingo ihayanga, “Unu mwana wane uwingine. Mutejele zyaje yuyo.”
Then a cloud came down and enveloped them; and from the cloud there came a voice – “This is my dearly loved son; listen to him.”
8 Ghafla, pali bha wenya sabha halola uyalinao palishimo, ila uYesu mwene.
And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.
9 Pali bhahwiha afume wigamba, amulila huje bhasaheze hubhele umuntu numo gala gunti agabha galolile, paka Umwana wa Adamu piizhyuha afume wabhafwe.
As they were going down the mountainside, Jesus cautioned them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Ipo paha ga uta amambo bhibho. Lelo bhayangana bhene kwa bhene lwenu imana yakwe “azyushe afume wa bhafwe”
They seized on these words and discussed with one another what this ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 Bhaha bhuzya uYesu,”Yenu abhandishi bhaiga uEliya ayize nasonti?”
“How is it,” they asked Jesus, “that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
12 Abhabhula, “lwoli Eliya sagabhiza afume ivhintu vhunti. Yenu isimbilwe Mwana wa Adamu lazima apate amalabha gaminji navhitililwe?
“Elijah does indeed come first,” answered Jesus, “and re-establish everything; and does not scripture speak, with regard to the Son of Man, of his undergoing much suffering and being utterly despised?
13 Lelo iyanga hulimwi lelo uEliya ahezele, bhahabhomba shabhayingine nishishila shaiganile, nishi amasimbo shaga yanga ahusu umwene.”
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and people have treated him just as they pleased, as scripture says of him.”
14 Pabha habhuya wasudwa, bhaha ilola imbunga ingosi izyungulile na Masadukayo bhabisanyaga ahabho bhabisanyaga anabho.
When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some teachers of the Law arguing with them.
15 Pala pahalola, ibhunga yunti bhahashyiga nahunyilile hulamushe.
But, as soon as they saw Jesus, all the people, in great astonishment, ran up and greeted him.
16 Abha bhuzywa asundwa abhakwe, “Mubisanya nao kuhusu iyenu?”
“What are you arguing about with them?” Jesus asked.
17 Umuntu umo muhati yabho ahajibula, “Mwalimo ihale ta umwana wane huliwe; ana iroho iyithavu ihubhomba huje anganda yayanje,
“Teacher,” answered a man in the crowd, “I brought my son to see you, as he has a spirit in him that makes him mute;
18 ihu fanya aje atete mamanje na hugwisye panzi, nafume ipofu mwilomu nasye amino naga gandane. Ihabhalabhile asundwa bhaho humwefye, lelo hagabhawezizwe.
and, wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they failed.”
19 Abhajibu, “Ishizazi ishasa shiwamini izakhale namwe humuda bhuli? Izawejelane namwe paka lii leti hulini? Mleteni kwangu.”
“Faithless generation!” exclaimed Jesus. “How long must I be with you? How long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 Bhaleta umwana wakwe. Iroho inhavhu palalala uYesu, gafla ihapela ateteme. Usahala agwile paka panzi naafumhe ipovhu wilomu.
They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 U Yesu ahabhuzya uyise, “Ihali ine ili awande muda ulyi?” Uyise ayanjile, “Aje afume uwana wakwe.
“How long has he been like this?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
22 Mumomumo itwala humwoto au mumenze naije la humwanga mizywe, kama uwezwa abhombe hahunthi utuhulumile natusaidile.”
“From his childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire and into water to put an end to his life; but, if you can possibly do anything, take pity on us, and help us!”
23 U Yesu abhulyile, “Akhashele uli tayali? Hala hantu hawezeha na waya yunthi uya wamini.”
“Why say ‘possibly’?” Jesus replied. “Everything is possible for one who has faith.”
24 Ghafla uyise wa mwana ahalila nayanje huje, “Iwamini! Nisaidie asinte awamini wane.”
The boy’s father immediately cried out, “I have faith; help my want of faith!”
25 Uwakati uYesu pahalola imbuga inyila abhale wabhene, ayikemela iroho inthavu nayanje, “awenohobubu uwasaga uhuvha, ihuwamuruleshe, usahinjile wamwene nanthele.”
But, when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly collecting, he rebuked the foul spirit, “Deaf and dumb spirit, it is I who command you. Come out from him and never enter him again.”
26 Ahalila wikhone na huhangaisye umwana na iroho ihafumile. Umwana abhoneha uga afyile, Ipo abhinji bhayanjile, “Aje afyile,”
With a loud cry the spirit threw the boy into repeated convulsions, and then came out from him. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead.
27 Lelo uYesu amwega nukhono abhusywa, umwana ahimelila.
But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him; and he stood up.
28 Lula uYesu pahinjila muhatyi, asundwa bhakwe bhahabhuzya shisili, “Yenu satawezizye humwefye?”
When Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 Abhabhulile, “pipo ini haga iwepa ila pwavhile.”
“A spirit of this kind,” he said, “can be driven out only by prayer.”
30 Bhahepa pala najendele wi Galilaya. Haga ahazanga umuntu yayuthi amanye pawilyi,
Leaving that place, Jesus and his disciples went on their way through Galilee; but he did not wish anyone to know it,
31 pipo amanyizywaga asudwa bhakwe. Abhabhulile, “Umwana wa Adamu atwalya makhono mwa bhantyu, nahugoje. Paivha afwile, baada yinsiku tatu aizyuha nanthele.”
for he was instructing his disciples, and telling them – “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of his fellow men, and they will put him to death, but, when he has been put to death, he will rise again after three days.”
32 Lelo haga bhaha mwelewa agawelezya iza, bhahogopa hubhuzywe.
But the disciples did not understand his meaning and were afraid to question him.
33 Ipo vhahafiha Karperinaumu. Wakati uhuo pali muhanthi nyumba abhuzizye, “Mwayanga naga yenu mwidala”?
They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 Lelo bhaha puma mie. Yani bisanya mwidala huje yunanu uwazabhe gosi zaidi.
But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.
35 Ahakhala pansi abhakuga ilongo na bhamo bhabhilye pamo, ayanga nabho, “Umuntu khawaza abhe wa kwanza, nilazima abhe wa malishilo na wabhatumishile bha bhunthi.”
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Ahamwanya umwana udodo abhiha pahati yabho. Amwega makhono gakwe, ayanga,
Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Wabhodthi nishi unu witawa lyane, oyaabha amboshile ninengashele umuntu aposha, saga aphola nene tu, lelo nayula uwantumile.”
“Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even a little child like this is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming not me, but him who sent me as his messenger.”
38 U Yohana abhula, “Umwalimu tulolile umuntu kwa wefya iphepo witawa lwaho tuhathubhila, pepo haga atidaga anti.”
“Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he did not follow us.”
39 Lelo uYesu ayanga, “Munganda hukhane pipo numo uwaibhomba imbombo ingosi witawa lwani na ipi pamandi ayanje injango imbivhi lwa lyunti.
“None of you must prevent the man,” answered Jesus, “for no one will use my name in working a miracle, and yet find it easy to speak evil of me.
40 Wa bhuntyi uwasagali tofauti natwe ali hu pande witu.
He who is not against us is for us.
41 Wabhuntyi uya yipela ishikombe iminzye agamwele pipo uli Kilisite, lyoli imba bhala hagaitezya usahala gwakwe.
If anyone gives you a cup of water because you belong to Christ, I tell you, he will assuredly not lose his reward.
42 Wa bhuntyi uyakosezwa hawa bhali bhali bhadodo abhanamini anye, wali shinza wa mwene apinyilwe inganga ilwasyele huzhingo natagwe muzhumbi.
“And, if anyone puts temptation in the way of one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be far better for him if he had been thrown into the sea with a great millstone around his neck.
43 Khamba ukhono gwaho kha hukosela gundumulaje. Hubha washi awinjile huwomi bila khono kwiko awinjile kwenye hulozi ulinamakhono gutyi. Mula mumwoto “ugwasaguzimiha”. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter the life maimed, than to have both your hands and go into Gehenna, into the fire that cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 (Inatila: Ulutanani ulu, “Pamahali ambapo intofyi sazifwa numwoto ugwasazimiha.” saga uwili katika nakala zakale).
45 Igaga khashele likosezywa, lidumula. Je shiza huliwe awijile huwumi khalilema, kuliko atagwe hulozi namagaga gavhili. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter the life lame, than to have both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
46 (Inatila: Ulutanani ulu, “Amahali itofi hazifwa numwoto usiyoweza azimishe hagagu wili nakala izihali).
47 Kama iliso lwaho khahukosezwa lisenyaje shinza hwilwe awinjile Utawala uwa Ngulubhi uli niso limo, kuliko kwingia ukiwa maso guntyi ulaje huje mwoto. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with only one eye, than to have both eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 Pala apali nintafyi izya sazifya, numwoto ugwa saguzimia.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 Lelo phipo shila muntyu aifyula numwoto.
For it is by fire that everyone will be salted.
50 Umwonyi mwinza, lelo umwonyi khagutezye uwiza wakwe, gubhabhombe bhuli uwinza bhuye nathyena? Munje mwonyi muhatyi yinyu, na uwaushe wa shila umo.”
Salt is good, but, if the salt should lose its saltiness, what will you use to season it? You must have salt in yourselves, and live at peace with one another.”
