Maliko 9
1 Yesu walapitilisha kubambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, popele pano, mpobali nabambi beti bakabule kufwa kabatana babubona Bwami bwa Lesa kabwisa ne ngofu.”
He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
2 Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne bumo, Yesu walamanta Petulo ne Jemusi ne Yohane ne kuya nabo pa mulundu utali pabonka, kopeloko ciwa ca Yesu walasanduka kabalangilisha ne menso abo.
Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then he was transfigured before them.
3 Balabona mwinjila wakendi ncowalatatika kubemba, walabemba kupita byakufwala bilibyonse ibyo muntu mbyelela kucapa pano pacishi capanshi ne kubitubisha.
His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
4 Yesu walaboneka kuli beshikwiya kabandika ne Mose ne Eliya.
Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Petulo mpwalaboneco walamba kuli Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, caina kwambeti mpotuli pano, neco twibake mishasha itatu, umo ube wenu, naumbi ube wa Mose, kayi naumbi ube wa Eliya.”
Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Nsombi Petulo walabula cakwamba pakwinga bonse balaba ne buyowa bunene.
(For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
7 Likumbi lyalesa kubafwekelela popelapo, ne liswi lyalanyumfwika mulikumbi akwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni. Kamumunyumfwilani!”
A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Mpobalacebukila uku ne uku beshikwiya aba balabonowa Yesu kaliyenka, nabambi mbwambanga nabo kucana paliya.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
9 Mpobalikuselela kufuma pa mulundu, Yesu walabambilisheti, “Ncomulabono kamutaya mwambileko muntu uliyense, mpaka panyuma pa kupunduka kubafu kwa Mwana Muntu.”
As they were coming down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Maswi awa balasunga mucali mwabo, nomba balikabepushana palwabo eti, “Sena kupunduka kubafu nkwalambanga Yesu uku kulapandululunga cani?”
So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Neco beshikwiya balamwipusha Yesu eti, “Nipacebo cini beshikwiyisha Milawo ncobakute kwambileti welela kwisa cakutanguna ni Eliya?”
They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nicakubinga Eliya welela kwisa cakutanguna, ne kubamba bintu byonse, nsombi kwalembweconi sha Mwana Muntu kwambeti welela kucana mapensho mangi ne kumukana?
He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?
13 Ame ndamwambilingeti Eliya wesakendi, ne bantu bensa kendi ciliconse ncobayandanga kwinsa, mbuli nceca lembwa mu Mabala.”
But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
14 Mpobalabwelela kwalashala beshikwiya nabambi, balabona likoto lya bantu bangi kabali babashinguluka kabatotekeshanya ne beshikwiyisha Milawo.
When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
15 Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalamubona Yesu, balamufwambila kuya kumushisha.
As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
16 Nendi Yesu walabepusha beshikwiya, “Inga nipacebo cini mpomulatotekeshanyanga ne bantu aba?”
He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Muntu umo walikuba mulikoto lyabantu walakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndalete kulinjamwe mwaname mutuloba ukute mushimu wabucibulu.
Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18 Ukute kumwuwishila panshi, ne kupula mapofu kumulomo, ne kutatika kukokota meno, kulikonse nkolamwikatili, ukute ubula ne ngofu. Neco ndanga ndambili beshikwiya benu kwambeti baupulishemo, nomba cilabalili.”
It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they could not.”
19 Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Mawe! Ninjikale nenu kwa masuba angaye amwe musemano wabula lushomo ndimulekeleleni cindi citali aconi? Kamumuletani kuli njame”.
He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Naboyo balamutwala kuli Yesu. Nomba mushimu waipa mpowalamubona Yesu, mwana mutuloba usa walamuwisha panshi ne kufulumuka fulumuka uku kapula lipofu ku mulomo.
They brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
21 Yesu walepusha baishi kwambeti, “Inga cilamanta cindi citali cilyeconi mwana kalicisa?” Baishi balambeti, “Kufuma kubutwanike,
Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
22 Pakwinga tunkanda twingi mushimuwu ukute kuyanda kumushina, pakumuwala pa mulilo. Kayi ne mu menshi. Na ngamwinsapo ciliconse! Kamutunyumfwilako luse mutunyamfweko.”
It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
23 Yesu walambeti, “Inga mulambilinga cani eti na ngamwinsapo ciliconse? Cintu ciliconse cinga kukonsheka kuli uyo ukute lushomo.”
Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Nabo baishi popelapo balolobesha ne kwambeti, “Ndashoma, nomba kamunyamfwani pakubula lushomo kwakame!”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 Yesu pakubona likoto lya bantu lyalikwisa lubilo apo mpobalikuba, walawambila mwabukalu mushimuwo walikumwalisha kunyumfwa ne kwamba walambeti, “Obe mushimu wabucibulu fuma mu muntu uyu kotakabwelamo kayi!”
When Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into him again.”
26 Neco mushimuwo walolobesha ne kumunyukumuna cangofu mwanoyo, ne kupulamo, nomba walaboneketi citumbi, cakuwinseti bantu balikubapo balambeti, “Lafu!”
It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 Nomba Yesu walamwikata kucikasa kumunyamfwilisha kupunduka neco walapunduka.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
28 Lino Yesu mpwalengila mung'anda, beshikwiya bakendi balatatika kumwipusha kumbali, “Inga afwe catwalilangeconi kupulisha mushimu usa?”
When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Paliya cintu nacimbi celela kukonsha kupulisha mushimu wa mushobowu, nsombi mupailo.”
He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
30 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalafumako balapitilila mu cibela ca Galileya, pakwinga nkabalikuyandeti bantu benshibeti lapitinga.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
31 Pakwinga walikwiyisha beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Mwana Muntu nakatwalwe mu makasa abantu, beti bakamushine, nomba nakapunduke pa busuba bwa butatu.”
for he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has been put to death, after three days he will rise again.”
32 Beshikwiya baliya kunyumfwishisha ncali kwamba maswi awa, kayi balikutina kumwipusha.
But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalashika ku Kapelenawo, balengila mung'anda, walabepusheti, “Inga mwatotekeshanyanga cani pomwesanga munshila?”
Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 Balo balamwena tonto, pakwinga mpobesanga munshila batotekeshanyanga kuyanda kwinshiba mukulene pakati pabo niyani.
But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Neco Yesu walekala panshi nekubakuwa bonse beshikwiya likumi ne babili, ne kubambileti “Namuntu layandanga kuba mutanshi abe wakupwililisha pali bonse, kayi abe musha wa bonse.”
Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Yesu walamanta mwana ne kumwimanika pakati pabo ne kumufukata ne kubambileti,
He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
37 “Uliyense latambulunga mwana ulyeti uyu pacebo canjame, ekwambeti latambulu ame. Kayi uyo latambulunga ame, latambulunga Bata abo balantuma ame.”
“Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”
38 Yohane walambeti, “Bashikwiyisha twabona muntu kapulisha mushimu waipa kasebensesha lina lyenu, nomba afwe twamukanisha kwambeti nkelela kwinseco pakwinga nte umo wa njafwe sobwe.”
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Nendi Yesu walambeti, “Kamutamukanisha sobwe, pakwinga paliya welela kwinsa bintu bya ngofu mbulibyo kusebensesha lina lyakame welela kayi kungalukila cabwangu bwangu.
But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.
40 Pakwinga uyo labulunga kutoteka afwe uli kulubasu lwetu.
Whoever is not against us is for us.
41 Nicakubinga pakwinga uyo lamupanga nkomeshi ya menshi akunwa, pacebo cakwambeti mobakame, cakubinga nteti akabule kupewa cilambo celela.”
Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 Nsombi uliyense lapambulunga bana bashoma aba pa nshila yalulama, ingaciba cena kumusungilila cilibwe cinene munshingo ne kumuwala mu lwenje.
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea.
43 Neco na cikasa cakobe cilakwipishinga ucitimbule, cilicena kuya kucana buyumi kokute cikasa cimo kupita kuwalwa mu gehena mu mulilo utashimiki kokute makasa onse abili. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
44 Kopeloko mapila eshi kubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe.
45 Kayi na mwendo wakobe ula kwipishinga pa utimbule, pakwinga cilicena kuya kucana buyumi kokute mwendo umo kupita kuba ne myendo ibili ne kuwalwa mu gehena. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 Kopeloko mapila eshikubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe.
47 Kayi na linso lyakobe lilakwipishinga, koli kolobolamo ne kulitaya, pakwinga cili cena kuya kwingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa ne liso limo, kupita kuwalwa mu Gehena kokute menso onse abili. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 Kopeloko mapila eshi kubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 “Pakwinga uliyense nakaswepeshewe ne mulilo mbuli mulumbo ncokute kuswepeshewa ne mucele.
For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 Mucele waina, nomba na mucele usambuluka niyani kayi welela kubwesheti unyumfwike mbuli ncowabanga pakutanguna? Kamubani ne cintu cishikumuswepeshewa mubuymi mbuli mucele. Kamwikalani mu lumuno pakati penu.”
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
