Maliko 10
1 Kayi Yesu pakufuma ku Kapelenawo, walapita mu cimpansha ca Yudeya kutala kwa mulonga wa Yolodano. Bantu bangi balamubunganina, neye walatatika kubeyisha pakwinga ecalikuba cinga cakendi.
Jesus left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and Transjordan. Once again people flocked to see him, and he was teaching them like he always did.
2 Lino kwalashika Bafalisi nabambi balesa kumutapa mukanwa pakumwipusheti, “Sena mulawo wasuminisha mutuloba kuleka mukashendi?”
Some Pharisees came to see him. They tried to test him by asking the question, “Is divorce legal?”
3 Neye walabepusheti, “Inga Mose walamupa mulawo ulyeconi?”
“What did Moses tell you to do?” he asked in reply.
4 Nabo balamukumbuleti, “Mose walasuminisha mutuloba kumuleka mukashendi ne kumulembela cipepala cabushike ne kumutwala kucomwabo.”
“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send the woman away,” they replied.
5 Yesu walambeti, “Mose walamulembela mulawo uwu pacebo ca kuyuma mitwi kwenu.
Then Jesus told them, “Moses only wrote down this rule for you because of your hard-hearted attitude.
6 Nsombi pacitatiko Lesa mpwalalenga bintu byonse, mbuli mabala ncalambanga, Lesa ‘walababumba mutuloba ne mutukashi.’
However, in the beginning, from creation, God made male and female.
7 Pacebo ici, mutuloba nakashiye baishi ne banyina ne kuya kupamankana pamo ne mukashendi.
That's why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined in marriage to his wife,
8 weco aba bantu babili nibakabe umo. Neco nkabacilipo babili sobwe, nsombi umo.
and the two become one body. They are no longer two but one.
9 Neco aba babili Lesa mbwalapamankanya pamo, kapataba muntu shikubapansanya.”
Let no one separate what God has joined together.”
10 Mpobalabwela mu ng'anda, beshikwiya balatatika kayi kumwipusha sha makani ngwambanga.
When they were back indoors, the disciples began asking him about this.
11 Nsombi nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Na mutuloba uleka mukashi ne kweba mutukashi naumbi, ukute mulandu wa bupombo pakwinga lepishili mukashendi.
“Any man who divorces his wife and marries again commits adultery against her,” he told them.
12 Neye mukashi aleka mulume wakendi ne kuya kwebwa kumutuloba naumbi, neye ukute mulandu wabupombo.”
“And if the wife divorces her husband and marries again she commits adultery.”
13 Popelapo bantu nabambi balaleta bana babo kuli Yesu kwambeti abekate makasa ne kubapa colwe, nsombi beshikwiya balakalalila bantu abo balaleta bana kwambeti abape colwe.
Some people brought their children to Jesus so that he could bless them, but the disciples told them off and tried to keep the children away from Jesus.
14 Yesu mpwalaboneco, walabakalilila beshikwiya bakendi ne kubambileti, “Balekeni bana bese kuno kuli njame. Kamutabakanishanga sobwe. Pakwinga bantu balyeti bana aba, Bwami bwa Lesa nibwabo.
But when Jesus saw what they were doing, he became very upset and told them, “Let the children come to me! Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15 Ndamwambilishinga cakubinga kwambeti uyo eti abule kutambula Bwami bwa Lesa eti mwana, nteti akaingilemo.”
I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a child won't enter it.”
16 Popelapo Yesu walabafukata bana ne kubika makasa akendi palyendibo kwambeti abape colwe.
He hugged the children, placed his hands on them, and blessed them.
17 Yesu mpwalatatika bulwendo, muntu naumbi walamufwambila. Walashika ne kwisa kusuntama pantangu ne kumwipusheti, “Amwe bashikwiyisha baina, inga ni cani ncondelela kwinsa kwambeti nkatambule buyumi bwa cindi conse?” (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus set out on his journey, a man came running over and kneeled down before Jesus. “Good teacher, what should I do to make sure I have eternal life?” he asked. (aiōnios g166)
18 Popelapo nendi Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Inga ni pacebo cini mpolang'ambanga ame kuba waina? Paliya muntu waina nsombi Lesa enka.
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good, only God.
19 Winshi milawo; Kotashina, kotapombola, kotaiba, kotamba bukamboni bwabwepeshi, kotapamba camunobe, kopa bulemu baiso ne banyoko.”
You know the commandments: you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not cheat, honor your father and mother…”
20 Nendi walambeti, “Bashikwiyisha ibi ndalatatika kubikonka kufumina kubutwanike bwakame.”
“Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was small.”
21 Yesu walamulangishisha ne lusuno, ne kumwambileti, “Ucili wapelebelako cintu cimo. Koya ulishe bintu byonse mbyokute. Mali ngoshucanemo upe bantu bapenshi, wenseco, buboni bwakobe nukabucane kwilu. Panyuma pakendi wise ukonke.”
Jesus looked at him with love and said, “You're only missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”
22 Mpwalanyumfwa maswi awo, walawisha cinso walafumapo kaliwongumana, pakwinga walikuba mubile.
At this, the man's face fell, and he left feeling very sad, for he was very wealthy.
23 Yesu walacebukila beshikwiya bakendi ne kubambileti, “Nicapatali kubantu bakute buboni kwambeti bakengile mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “It's only with difficulty that wealthy people enter the kingdom of God!”
24 Maswi awa alabakankamanisha beshikwiya. Kayi Yesu walabweshapo kwambeti, “Cakubinga, amwe bana bame, nicapatali kuya kwingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa,
The disciples were shocked at this. But Jesus went on, “My friends, it is difficult to enter God's kingdom.
25 cakonsheka munyama ukute kukwiweti ngamila kwambeti apite mukamulyango ka nyeleti, kupita kwambeti muntu ukute buboni akengile mu Bwami bwa Lesa?”
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter God's kingdom.”
26 Popelapo beshikwiya balaba ne buyowa ne kutatika kwipushaneti, “Nomba na ncocibeleco niyani welela kupuluka?”
The disciples were even more confused. “Then who on earth can be saved?” they asked one another.
27 Yesu walabalangishisha, ne kubambileti, “Nkacikonsheke kwelana ne kuyeya kwa bantu, nomba kuli Lesa nendi paliya camukoma. Pakwinga kuli Lesa byonse bikute kukonsheka.”
Looking right at them, Jesus replied, “From a human point of view, it's impossible—but not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
28 Popelapo Petulo walatatika kwamba ne Yesu, “Kamubonani afwe twalashiya byonse kwambeti twendenga nenu.”
Peter spoke up, “We've left everything to follow you…”
29 Yesu walambeti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishinga uyo walashiya ng'anda, nambi bakwabo batuloba nebatukashi, nambi baishi, nambi banabendi, nambi mabala pacebo cakame, ne Mulumbe Waina,
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “anyone who has left behind their home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands because of me, and for the sake of the good news,
31 Nomba bantu bangi bali kuntangu nibakabe kunyuma, abo bali kunyuma nibakabe kuntangu.”
However, many of the first will be last, and the last first.”
32 Mpobalikuba pabulwendo bwakuya ku Yelusalemu, Yesu walikwendela capantangu pa beshikwiya, nabo beshikwiya balikuba bayakamwa, nabo bantu balikubakonkela balikukute buyowa. Yesu walabakuwa palubasu beshikwiya likumi ne babili, ne kutatika kubambila bintu byeshi binshike.
They continued on their way to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking on ahead. The disciples were apprehensive and the other followers were afraid. So Jesus took the disciples aside and began to explain to them what was about to happen to him.
33 Walambeti, “Kamubonani tuli pa bulwendo bwakuya ku Yelusalemu. Twakashika Mwana Muntu nakekatwe ne kutwalwa kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene ne ku beshikwiyisha milawo. Beti bakamomboloshe ne kusuminishana sha kumushina. Kayi ni bakamutwale kubantu bamishobo naimbi.
“We're going to Jerusalem,” he told them, “and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and religious teachers. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the foreigners.
34 Beti bakamunyanshe ne kumusankila mata, ne kumukwapula kayi ne kumushina. Nomba pakapita masuba atatu nendi nakamupundushiwe kubafu.”
They will mock him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. But three days later he will rise again.”
35 Jemusi ne Yohane, banabendi Sebedayo balamwipusha Yesu kwambeti, “Bashikwiyisha, tusuni kwambeti mutwinshile cili conse nceti tusenge.”
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to see him. “Teacher,” they said, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”
36 Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga mulayandanga ndimwinshileni cani?”
“So what do you want me to do for you?” Jesus replied.
37 Nabo balakumbuleti, “tulayandangeti mutusuminisheti umo palinjafwe tobabili akekale ku cikasa cakululyo naumbi kucikasa cakucipiko, mwakekala mu bulemeneno bwa Bwami.”
“When you're victorious and sit on your throne, make sure we sit beside you, one on the right, the other on the left,” they told him.
38 Nomba Yesu walabambileti, “Nkamucinshi ncomulasengenga. Sena ngamucikonsha kunwa munkomeshi ya mapensho njoti nkanwemo? Nambi kubatishiwa mulubatisho ndoti mbatishiwe?”
“You don't know what you're asking,” replied Jesus. “Can you drink the cup I drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism of pain I will suffer?”
39 Nabo balamukumbuleti, “Cakubinga, ingatucikonsha.” Palico Yesu walabambileti, “Ingacibeco, nkomeshi njoti nkanwemo, nenjamwe ningamunwamo, ne lubatisho ndoti nkatambule nenjamwe nimukalutambule.
“Yes, we can,” they replied. “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the same baptism as me,” Jesus told them.
40 Nomba ame ntameti nkasale muntu shikwikala kucikasa ca kululyo nambi ku cikasa cakucipiko. Lesa mwine eti akape kwa kwikala abo babambilwa misena.”
“But it's not for me to grant who should sit on my right or on my left. These places are reserved for those for whom they have been prepared.”
41 Mpobalanyumfwako banabo bali likumi balakalalila Jemusi ne Yohane.
When the other ten disciples heard about this, they started getting upset with James and John.
42 Yesu walakuwa beshikwiya bakendi, ne kubambileti, “Mucinshi cena kwambeti pakati pa bantu bakunsa, bantu bakute kutangunina bakute kulyela bantu babo masuku pamutwi. Bamakulene babo bakute kubonesha ngofu shabo pa bantu babo.
Jesus called the disciples together and told them, “You realize that those who claim to rule over nations oppress their people. The rulers act like tyrants.
43 Nomba nkacelela kubeco pakati palinjamwe sobwe. Uliyense layandanga kuba mukulene pakati palinjamwe, abe musebenshi wenu.
But for you it's not like this. Anyone of you who wants you to be a ruler must be your servant,
44 Uliyense layandanga kuba mutangunishi wapita bonse pakati penu abe musha wa bonse.
and anyone who wants to be first among you must be the slave of all of you.
45 Pakwinga nambi Mwana Muntu uliya kwisa kusebenselwa, nsombi kulipa mwine kuba musebenshi, ne kubenga buyumi bwakendi kwambeti alubule bantu bangi.”
For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
46 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balashika ku Yeliko. Nomba Yesu ne beshikwiya ne likoto linene mpobalikupula mu Yeliko, balacana muntu washipilwa walikukute cinga cakusengasenga kali wekala mumbali mwanshila, muntuyu walikuba Batimeyo mwanendi Timeyo.
Jesus and his disciples passed through Jericho, and as they were leaving town, accompanied by a large crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.
47 Mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti Yesu wa ku Nasaleti elapitinga, walatatika kubilikisha, “Yesu mwanendi Dafeti! Kamunyumfwilako nkumbo!”
When he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth, he started shouting out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
48 Nabambi bantu balamucanchilila kwambeti amwene, nomba nendi empwalapitilisha kubilikisha, “Mwanendi Dafeti kamunyumfwilako nkumbo.”
Lots of people told him to be quiet, but that only made him shout even more, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy me!”
49 Yesu walemana ne kwambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Mukuweni ese kuno.” Neco balamukuwa ne kumwambileti, “Yumisha moyo! Nyamuka! Yesu lakukunga.”
Jesus stopped, and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called him over, telling him, “Good news! Get up. He's calling for you.”
50 Neco muntu washipilwa uyu walafulula mwinjila ne kuwala panshi nekulukila mwilu ne kwisa kuli Yesu.
Bartimaeus jumped up, threw off his coat, and rushed over to Jesus.
51 Yesu walamwipusheti, “Ulayandanga ndikwinshile cani?” Washipilwa uyo wakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha ndayandangeti ntatike kubona.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. “Teacher,” he said to Jesus, “I want to see!”
52 “Koya lushomo lwakobe lulapeshepeti ube cena,” Popelapo walatatika kubona cena, ne kukonkela Yesu pabulwendo.
“You can go. Your trust in me has healed you.” Immediately Bartimaeus could see and he followed Jesus as he went on his way.
