Maliko 8
1 Paliyawa kupita cindi citali sobwe, kayi bantu bangi balabungana kuli Yesu, nomba nkabalikukute cakulya, Yesu walakuwa beshikwiya bakendi ne kubambileti,
In those days, again, when there was a great crowd, and they did not have anything to eat, calling together his disciples, he said to them:
2 “Ndanyumfwilinga luse bantu aba, pakwinga balekala ne njame kwa masuba atatu, kwabula cakulya.
“I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.
3 Na ndibambileti benga kwabo kabali ne nsala, nibawisukenga mu nshila, pakwinga nabambi bafuma kutali.”
And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.
4 Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusheti, “Nikupeyo muntu nkwelela kucana shinkwa wingi wakulyesha aba bantu bonse mucisuwa muno?”
And his disciples answered him, “From where would anyone be able to obtain enough bread for them in the wilderness?”
5 Nendi Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga mukuteko shinkwa ungaye?” Nabo balakumbuleti, “Usanu ne ubili.”
And he questioned them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Lino walabambila bantu kwambeti bekale panshi. Neco walamanta shinkwa usanu ne ubili, walalumbaisha Lesa, walakomauna, nekupa beshikwiya bakendi kwambeti bayabile likoto lya bantu. Naboyo balensa copeleco.
And he instructed the crowd to sit down to eat on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave it to his disciples in order to place before them. And they placed these before the crowd.
7 Kayi balikukute tunswi twakubelengowa, walalumbaisha Lesa ne kubambileti nato batuyabe.
And they had a few small fish. And he blessed them, and he ordered them to be placed before them.
8 Neco bonse balalya ne kwikuta, cakwinseti balayowela bishikulaka panshi ne kwisusha mitanga inene inene isanu ne ibili.
And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up what had been leftover from the fragments: seven baskets.
9 Palikuba bantu bashika pepi myanda makumi ana, Yesu balabambileti benga kwabo.
And those who ate were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.
10 Popelapo Yesu, walatanta mubwato pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi ne kuya ku cibela ca Dalamanuta.
And promptly climbing into a boat with his disciples, he went into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Kopeloko kwalashika Bafalisi balatatika kutotekeshana ne Yesu. Balikuyandeti ababoneshe chinshibisho chishikufumina kwilu pakuyanda kumwelekesha.
And the Pharisees went out and began to contend with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
12 Yesu walashinshimuka mumoyo wakendi, walambeti, “Sena niciyani musemanowu colayandilinga kubona cinshibisho? Cakubinga ndambangeti, musemanowu nteti ukapewepo chinshibisho ciliconse sobwe.”
And sighing deeply in spirit, he said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, if only a sign will be given to this generation!”
13 Mpwalambeco walabashiya ne kutanta bwato kuya kutala kwa lwenje.
And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.
14 Nomba, balalubako kumanta shinkwa wingi, neco nkabalikukute ciliconse mubwatomo, nsombi shinkwa umowa.
And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf.
15 walabacenjesheti, “Calukani menso! Cetukani ne cishikufufumusha ca Bafalisi ne ca Helode.”
And he instructed them, saying: “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.”
16 Neco balatatika kukangana umo ne munendi pa nkani yakubula shinkwa.
And they discussed this with one another, saying, “For we have no bread.”
17 Yesu pakwinshibeco, walabambileti, “Inga mulakanganangeconi pa nkani yakubula shinkwa. Sena mpaka pacindi cino nkamuna munyumfwishisha ne kwinshiba bupandulushi bwakendi? Sena myoyo yenu icili mungubi?
And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart?
18 Nambi menso mulinawo sena nkamulabonesheshenga? Matwi mulinao sena nkamulanyumfwishishinga? Sena nkamulanukunga?
Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember,
19 Pasa mpondala komauna shinkwa usanu kwambeti ndyeshe batuloba myanda makumi asanu, sena mwalesusha mitanga ingaye ya byashalapo?” Beshikwiya bakumbuleti, “Likumi ne ibili.”
when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
20 Yesu walabepusheti “Mpondalakomauna shinkwa usanu ne ubili ne kulyesha batuloba myanda makumi ana, mwalesusha mitanga ingaye?” Balakumbuleti “Isanu ne ibili”
“And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
21 Popelapo walambeti, “Sena nkamuna mwinshiba ncocilapandululunga?”
And he said to them, “How is it that you do not yet understand?”
22 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balashika ku Betisaida, uku bantu balamuletela muntu washipilwa, balamupapatila kwambeti amwikatekowa muntuyo.
And they went to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to him. And they petitioned him, so that he would touch him.
23 Popelapo Yesu walamwikata muntu washipilwa pacikasa nekuya nendi kunsa kwa munshi walamusankila mata mumenso ne kubika makasa palyendiye, ne kumwipusheti “Sena pali ncolabonongaponga?”
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him beyond the village. And putting spit on his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he could see anything.
24 Muntu washipilwa usa walakapula ne kukumbuleti, “Ee ndabononga bantu balendendenga.” Nomba balabonekengeti, “bitondo.”
And looking up, he said, “I see men but they are like walking trees.”
25 Kayi Yesu walabika makasa pamenso a muntu usa, neco walakapula nekutatika kubona. Walaba cena ne kuboneshesha cena bintu byonse.
Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.
26 Yesu walamwambileti koya kucomwenu, ne kumwambilisheti, “Kotabwela mumunshiwu.”
And he sent him to his house, saying, “Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one.”
27 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi pacindici balaya ku minshi yaku Kaisaleya waku Filipi. Mpobalikuya munshila, Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga bantu balambangeti njame bani?”
And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 Balo beshikwiya bakendi balamukumbuleti, “Bambi balambangeti njamwe Yohane Mubatishi, nabambi balambangeti njamwe Eliya. Nsombi nabambi balambangeti, njamwe umo wabashinshimi bakulukulu.”
And they answered him by saying: “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets.”
29 Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga amwe mulambangeti njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Amwe Njamwe Klistu Mupulushi Wasalalwa ne Lesa.”
Then he said to them, “Yet truly, who do you say that I am?” Peter responded by saying to him, “You are the Christ.”
30 Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutambilapo muntu uliyense shanjame.”
And he admonished them, not to tell anyone about him.
31 Yesu popelapo walatatika kubeyisha beshikwiya bakendi kwambeti, “Mwana Muntu welela kunyumfwa bishikubaba, kupenshewa ne kukanwa ne beshimilumbo milumbo, ne bashikwiyisha milawo ne kumushina. Nsombi pabusuba bwatutatu, nakapundushiwe kubafu.”
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Yesu walabambila makani awa pantangalala. Nomba nendi Petulo walamutwala Yesu pa lubasu ne kumukansa.
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to correct him.
33 Nendi Yesu walacebuka ne kulangila kwalikuba beshikwiya bakendi nabambi, ne kumucancalila Petulo mwabukalu eti. “Koyoko Satana obe, pakwinga miyeyo yakobe niya buntu, nteyo miyeyo ya Lesa sobwe!”
And turning away and looking at his disciples, he admonished Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan, for you do not prefer the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.”
34 Panyuma pakendi, Yesu walakuwa likoto lya bantu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi, nekubambileti, “Muntu layandanga kunkonka ame alikane mwine, kayi alibambile kupeshewa, ne kufwa cebo ca kunkonkela.
And calling together the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone chooses to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Pakwinga uliyense layandanga kupulusha buyumi bwakendi mwine, nakabutaye. Nomba uyo latayanga buyumi bwakendi pa cebo cakame, ne pacebo ca makani awa ayina, cakubinga nendi nakabupulushe.
For whoever will have chosen to save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life, for my sake and for the Gospel, shall save it.
36 Inga caina cilipo nicipeyo na muntu uba ne bintu byonse bili pacishi capanshi, nomba ubutaya buyumi bwakendi butapu?
For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, and yet causes harm to his soul?
37 Inga nicani ico muntu ncelela kutika kwambeti buyumi bwancinencine butapu?
Or, what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Abo balanyumfwilinga insoni ne maswi akame pamenso abantu babula lushomo, kayi babwipishi, bopelabo Mwana Muntu nakabanyumfwile insoni akesanga pamo ne bangelo mu Mulemu bwa Baishi.”
For whoever has been ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he will arrive in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels.”
