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 the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 “Ndanyumfwilinga luse bantu aba, pakwinga balekala ne njame kwa masuba atatu, kwabula cakulya.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Na ndibambileti benga kwabo kabali ne nsala, nibawisukenga mu nshila, pakwinga nabambi bafuma kutali.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusheti, “Nikupeyo muntu nkwelela kucana shinkwa wingi wakulyesha aba bantu bonse mucisuwa muno?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Nendi Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga mukuteko shinkwa ungaye?” Nabo balakumbuleti, “Usanu ne ubili.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? 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 commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 Kayi balikukute tunswi twakubelengowa, walalumbaisha Lesa ne kubambileti nato batuyabe.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 Neco bonse balalya ne kwikuta, cakwinseti balayowela bishikulaka panshi ne kwisusha mitanga inene inene isanu ne ibili.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 Palikuba bantu bashika pepi myanda makumi ana, Yesu balabambileti benga kwabo.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 Popelapo Yesu, walatanta mubwato pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi ne kuya ku cibela ca Dalamanuta.
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Kopeloko kwalashika Bafalisi balatatika kutotekeshana ne Yesu. Balikuyandeti ababoneshe chinshibisho chishikufumina kwilu pakuyanda kumwelekesha.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu walashinshimuka mumoyo wakendi, walambeti, “Sena niciyani musemanowu colayandilinga kubona cinshibisho? Cakubinga ndambangeti, musemanowu nteti ukapewepo chinshibisho ciliconse sobwe.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 Mpwalambeco walabashiya ne kutanta bwato kuya kutala kwa lwenje.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Nomba, balalubako kumanta shinkwa wingi, neco nkabalikukute ciliconse mubwatomo, nsombi shinkwa umowa.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 walabacenjesheti, “Calukani menso! Cetukani ne cishikufufumusha ca Bafalisi ne ca Helode.”
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, 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 reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because 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 when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Nambi menso mulinawo sena nkamulabonesheshenga? Matwi mulinao sena nkamulanyumfwishishinga? Sena nkamulanukunga?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye 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 brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto 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 among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Popelapo walambeti, “Sena nkamuna mwinshiba ncocilapandululunga?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balashika ku Betisaida, uku bantu balamuletela muntu washipilwa, balamupapatila kwambeti amwikatekowa muntuyo.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to 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 he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 Muntu washipilwa usa walakapula ne kukumbuleti, “Ee ndabononga bantu balendendenga.” Nomba balabonekengeti, “bitondo.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 Kayi Yesu walabika makasa pamenso a muntu usa, neco walakapula nekutatika kubona. Walaba cena ne kuboneshesha cena bintu byonse.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Yesu walamwambileti koya kucomwenu, ne kumwambilisheti, “Kotabwela mumunshiwu.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi pacindici balaya ku minshi yaku Kaisaleya waku Filipi. Mpobalikuya munshila, Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga bantu balambangeti njame bani?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom 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, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga amwe mulambangeti njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Amwe Njamwe Klistu Mupulushi Wasalalwa ne Lesa.”
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutambilapo muntu uliyense shanjame.”
And he charged them that they should tell no man of 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 of the elders, and of the chief priests, and 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 spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke 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!”
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be 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 when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after 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 whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 Inga caina cilipo nicipeyo na muntu uba ne bintu byonse bili pacishi capanshi, nomba ubutaya buyumi bwakendi butapu?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Inga nicani ico muntu ncelela kutika kwambeti buyumi bwancinencine butapu?
Or what shall 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.”
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
