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, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom 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.
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 Balabona mwinjila wakendi ncowalatatika kubemba, walabemba kupita byakufwala bilibyonse ibyo muntu mbyelela kucapa pano pacishi capanshi ne kubitubisha.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Yesu walaboneka kuli beshikwiya kabandika ne Mose ne Eliya.
Elijah and 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 Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Nsombi Petulo walabula cakwamba pakwinga bonse balaba ne buyowa bunene.
For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Likumbi lyalesa kubafwekelela popelapo, ne liswi lyalanyumfwika mulikumbi akwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni. Kamumunyumfwilani!”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and 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 looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
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 from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after 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?”
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Neco beshikwiya balamwipusha Yesu eti, “Nipacebo cini beshikwiyisha Milawo ncobakute kwambileti welela kwisa cakutanguna ni Eliya?”
They asked him, saying, “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 indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should 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 tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 Mpobalabwelela kwalashala beshikwiya nabambi, balabona likoto lya bantu bangi kabali babashinguluka kabatotekeshanya ne beshikwiyisha Milawo.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalamubona Yesu, balamufwambila kuya kumushisha.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Nendi Yesu walabepusha beshikwiya, “Inga nipacebo cini mpomulatotekeshanyanga ne bantu aba?”
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Muntu umo walikuba mulikoto lyabantu walakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndalete kulinjamwe mwaname mutuloba ukute mushimu wabucibulu.
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
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.”
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
19 Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Mawe! Ninjikale nenu kwa masuba angaye amwe musemano wabula lushomo ndimulekeleleni cindi citali aconi? Kamumuletani kuli njame”.
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall 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 him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 Yesu walepusha baishi kwambeti, “Inga cilamanta cindi citali cilyeconi mwana kalicisa?” Baishi balambeti, “Kufuma kubutwanike,
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Pakwinga tunkanda twingi mushimuwu ukute kuyanda kumushina, pakumuwala pa mulilo. Kayi ne mu menshi. Na ngamwinsapo ciliconse! Kamutunyumfwilako luse mutunyamfweko.”
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion 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 can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Nabo baishi popelapo balolobesha ne kwambeti, “Ndashoma, nomba kamunyamfwani pakubula lushomo kwakame!”
Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “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 that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
26 Neco mushimuwo walolobesha ne kumunyukumuna cangofu mwanoyo, ne kupulamo, nomba walaboneketi citumbi, cakuwinseti bantu balikubapo balambeti, “Lafu!”
After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 Nomba Yesu walamwikata kucikasa kumunyamfwilisha kupunduka neco walapunduka.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Lino Yesu mpwalengila mung'anda, beshikwiya bakendi balatatika kumwipusha kumbali, “Inga afwe catwalilangeconi kupulisha mushimu usa?”
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
29 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Paliya cintu nacimbi celela kukonsha kupulisha mushimu wa mushobowu, nsombi mupailo.”
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
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 didn’t want anyone to know it,
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, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 Beshikwiya baliya kunyumfwishisha ncali kwamba maswi awa, kayi balikutina kumwipusha.
But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalashika ku Kapelenawo, balengila mung'anda, walabepusheti, “Inga mwatotekeshanyanga cani pomwesanga munshila?”
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Balo balamwena tonto, pakwinga mpobesanga munshila batotekeshanyanga kuyanda kwinshiba mukulene pakati pabo niyani.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one 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.”
He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall 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 set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he 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 one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him 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 who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t 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, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 Pakwinga uyo labulunga kutoteka afwe uli kulubasu lwetu.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 Nicakubinga pakwinga uyo lamupanga nkomeshi ya menshi akunwa, pacebo cakwambeti mobakame, cakubinga nteti akabule kupewa cilambo celela.”
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 Nsombi uliyense lapambulunga bana bashoma aba pa nshila yalulama, ingaciba cena kumusungilila cilibwe cinene munshingo ne kumuwala mu lwenje.
“Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
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, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 Kopeloko mapila eshi kubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
46 Kopeloko mapila eshikubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 Kopeloko mapila eshi kubapensha nkafu, kayi nawo mulilo weshukabatentenga nteti ukashimikenga sobwe
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 “Pakwinga uliyense nakaswepeshewe ne mulilo mbuli mulumbo ncokute kuswepeshewa ne mucele.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
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, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
