Luka 9
1 Yesu walabunganya beshikwiya bakendi ne kubapa ngofu shakufunya mishimu yaipa ne kushilika malwashi.
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 Lino Yesu walabatuma kuya kukambauka sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa ne kushilika malwashi.
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 Walabambileti, “Mutanyamunapo cintu nambi cimo mubulwendo bwenu, mutamanta inkoli, mukopa, cakulya, mali nambi byakufwala bibili.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
4 Mwakashika mung'anda moshi bakamutambule cena, mukekale mwepelomo kushikikila busuba mboti mukafume mumushi umo.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Uko nkweshi bakabule kumutambula, pakufuma mumushi umo, mukalipampe lusuko kumyendo. Ici nicikabe cishibisho kuli endibo.”
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6 Beshikwiya balenda muminshi yonse, kabaya akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ne kushilika malwashi kuli konse.
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7 Lino mwami Helode, mpwalanyumfwa byonse byalenshika, walapenga mumoyo pakwinga bantu bambi bali kabambeti, “Uyu ni Yohane lapunduku kufuma kubafu.”
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 Bambi bali kabambeti, “Ni Eliya laboneke kayi, nabambi eti, ni umo wa bashinshimi bakulukulu lapunduku kubafu.”
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Helode walambeti, “Yohane ni usa ngondatimbula mutwi, nomba niyani uyu lenshinga bintu ibi mbyondanyumfunga?” Neco wali kayanda kubona Yesu uyo.
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
10 Lino mpobabwelela batumwa balamwambila Yesu byonse mbyobalensa. Kufumapo Yesu walaya ne beshikwiya bakendi kuminshi yaku Betisaida.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
11 Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfwa balamukonkela uko nkwalaya. Yesu walabatambula, neku bambila sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa, ne kushilika abo bali kabasuni kwambeti babe cena.
But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Lisuba mpolyalikuba pepi kwibila, beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Kamubambilani bantu benga muminshi ne misena ili pepi balangole byakulya ne kwakona pakwinga kuno nikucisuwa.”
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude 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 Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe mubape byakulya.” Beshikwiya bakumbuleti, “Tukute owa shinkwa usanu ne inswi shibili. Lino sena musuni kwambeti tuye tule byakulya byakwana bantu aba?”
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 Palikuba batuloba bonka bakwana 5,000. Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamwambilani bantu bekale mumakoto, likoto lya makumi ali asanu.”
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Beshikwiya balensa mbuli ncobalambilwa.
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Yesu walanyamuna shinkwa usanu ne Iswi shibili uto, walalanga kwilu ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona nekupa beshikwiya eti bayabile bantu.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 Bantu bonse balalya nekwikuta. Nomba beshikwiya balabwesa byonse byalashalako ku bantu nekwisusha bitundu likumi ne bibili.
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Nabumbi busuba Yesu wali kapaila enka, beshikwiya bakendi naboyo balikuba pepi. Lino walabepusheti, “Sena bantu bangi balambangeti ame njame bani?”
As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 Balo balakumbuleti, “Bambi balambangeti njamwe Yohane mubatishi. Kayi nabambi balambangeti njamwe Eliya. Kayi nabambi eti njamwe umo wabanshinshimi bakulukulu walapunduka kubafu.”
They answered, “‘John the Baptiser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba amwe mukute kwambeti ame njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Njamwe Wananikwa wa Lesa.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Nomba Yesu walakonkomesha beshikwiya kwambeti kabatambila muntu nambi umo makani aya.
But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Kayi walambeti, “Mwana Muntu welela kupenshewa ne kukanwa ne bamakulene beshimilumbo ne bamakulene baba Yuda ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo nibakamukane. Nendi naka shinwe, nsombi busuba bwabutatu nakapunduke kubafu.”
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 Kufumapo walambila bonseti, “Namuntu layandanga kunkonkela ame, welela kushiya nekusula bintu byonse busuba ne busuba kunyamuna lusanda lwakendi nekunkonkela.
He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24 Pakwinga layandanga kupulusha buyumi bwakendi nakabutaye. Nomba uyo latayanga buyumi bwakendi pacebo ca njame, cakubinga nakabucane.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25 Nomba cainapo ni cani na muntu laba ne bintu byonse bili mucishi capanshi cino, nendi ubutaya buyumi bwakendi bwancinencine nambi kubononga?
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Palico na muntu unyumfwa insoni pacebo ca maswi akame, neye Mwana Muntu nakamunyufwile insoni pakwisa mubulemu bwakendi ne mubulemu bwa Baishi nebwa bangelo bwaswepa.
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 Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti mpobali bambi pano beshi bakabule kufwa kabatana babona Bwami bwa Lesa.”
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 God’s Kingdom.”
28 Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne atatu Yesu mpwalamba makani aya, walamanta Petulo ne Yohane ne Jemusi walaya pa mulundu kuya kupaila.
About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 Lino mpwalikupaila, ciwa cakendi Yesu calasanduka ne byakufwala byakendi byalabemba tuu.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Popelapo kwalaboneka batuloba babili Mose ne Eliya kabamba ne Yesu.
Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 Balaboneka mubulemu bwa kwilu kayi kabambilana sha palufu lwa Yesu lwakuya kufwila ku Yelusalemu.
who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Lino Petulo ne abo mbwalikuba nabo balikuba mutulo. Nomba mpobalapunduka balabona bulemu bwa Yesu ne bantu babili bemana pepi nendiye.
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 Pacindi mpwalikupansana nabo, Petulo walambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, cileni kwambeti tuli pano katwibaka mishasha itatu, umbi wenu, umbi wa Mose, umbi wa Eliya.” Petulo nkalikwishiba ncali kwamba.
As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34 Kacamba, kwalesa likumbi lyabafwekelela. Lino beshikwiya balatina.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Lino mulikumbi umo mwalanyumfwika liswi lya kwambeti, “Uyu emwaname ndalamusala neco mumunyumfwile!”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
36 Lino maswi mpwalacileka kunyufwika, beshikwiya balabona Yesu lashala enka. Neco balamwena tonto, kufuma apo baliya kwambilapo muntu nambi umo mbuli ncobalabona.
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 Mumene mene Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi batatu balaseluka pa mulundu, nalyo likoto linene lyabantu lyalakumanina ne Yesu.
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 Popelapo, muntu umbi wamulikoto ilyo walolobesheti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndamusengengeti munyumfwileko inkumbo uyu emwaname enka ngonkute.
Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
39 Ukute mushimu waipa na ulamwikata ukute kakuwa, kayi ne kunyukuma mpaka ufuma lipofu kumulomo. Kayi nkaukute kumulekapo mpaka umulingapo.
Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Lino ndanga ndasenge beshikwiya benu eti baufunye, nomba balalilwa.”
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
41 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ha! Bantu babula lushomo, mweshikupindimuna miyeyeyo, nomba ninjikale nenu cindi citali econi? Kamumuletani kuno mwana.”
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Mwana uyo mpwalikuya kuli Yesu, mushimu waipa walamuwala panshi ne kumunyukumuna. Nendi Yesu walakalalila mushimu waipa ne kushilika mwana usa. Lino walamubwesha kuli baishi.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalabona ngofu shinene sha Lesa. Bantu kabacikankamana pa bintu ibyo mbyalensa, Yesu wabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Kamunyumfwishisha makani aya ngoti ndimwambile! ame Mwana Muntu ninkayabwe mumakasa abantu.”
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 Nsombi balo baliya kwinshiba ncalikwamba pakwinga calikuba casolama nomba baliyawa kwanyumfwishisha. Kayi balatina kumwipusha.
But they didn’t 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 Beshikwiya balatatika kupikishana kwambeti benshibe nomba mukulene niyani pakati pabo.
An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.
47 Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobali kabayeya mumyoyo, walamanta mwana nekumwikalika kulubasu lwakendi.
Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 Lino walabambileti, “Muntu uliyense welela kutambula mwana mbuli uyu mulina lyakame, latambulu ame. Muntu uliyense ukute kutambula ame latambulunga uyo walantuma, pakwinga uyo ngomwasula pakati penu emukulene.”
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 amongst you all, this one will be great.”
49 Lino Yohane walambeti, “Amwe beshikwiyisha, twabona muntu umbi nkafunya mishimu yaipa mulina lyenu, nomba twamukanisha pakwinga nte wa mulikoto lyetu.”
John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
50 Yesu walamwambileti, “Mutamukanisha, pakwinga uyo labulunga kutotekeshana nenjamwe uli kulubasu lwenu.”
Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
51 Lino mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti Yesu enga kwilu, walayeya kuya ku Yelesalemu.
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 Walatuma batumwa kuntangu kwakendi abo balaya kuya kwingila mumunshi wa Samaliya kwambeti bamubambile busena.
and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 Bantu ba mumunshi uyo baliyawa kumutambula pakwinga walikaya ku Yelusalemu.
They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 Lino beshikwiya ba Yesu, Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalabona balambeti, “Mwami, sena nkatwela kwambeti tukuwe mulilo ufume kwilu wise wononge bantu aba?”
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 destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55 Yesu walacebuka ne kubakalalila beshikwiya.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 Popelapo bonse balanyamuka balaya kumunshi umbi.
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
57 Mpobalikuya munshila, muntu umbi walambila Yesu eti, “Nindimukonkelenga kuli konse nkweshi mwenganga.”
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
58 Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Bamwaba bakute mishima, kayi ne bikeni bikute bisangala, lino Mwana Muntu liyawa pakona.”
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 Panyuma pakendi Yesu walambila naumbi eti, “Unkokele.” Nsombi nendi muntu uyo walambeti, “Mwami tanshika munsuminishe njenga mbike bata.”
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Leka bafwa babike bafu banabo, nsombi obe koya ukambauke sha Bwami bwa Lesa.”
But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 Naumbi muntu walambeti, “Nindimukonkele Mwami, lino tanguna nje ndaye kung'anda yakame.”
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
62 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Muntu atatika kulima ne ngombe, kayi nkacebuku kunyuma, Lesa liya nendi incito mu Bwami bwakendi.”
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
