Malika 9
1 UYesu akajova akati, “Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, vamonga nkate mulyumue mwe vano muli apa, navalafua kuhanga pano vikuvwagha uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwisile ni ngufu.”
He went on to say, "In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power."
2 Ye fikilile ifighono ntanda, uYesu akavatoola uPeteli, uYakovo nu Yohani. Akaluta navoope ku kidunda ikitali, vakijekela, vakava veene. Ye vali pala, uYesu akanduka pamaaso ghaave,
Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.
3 nagha menda ghaake ghakava ghivalatika, mavalafu kyongo, nakwale unsukamenda pa iisi apa, juno ndepoonu ivalasia endendiiki.
His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.
4 Pe vakasetuka avavili avalongosi uEliya nu Moose, vijova nu Yesu.
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,
5 Pepano uPeteli akam'buula u Yesu akati, “M'bulanisi, linono usue tukalaghe bahaapa. Lino, tujenge ifyeve fitatu: kimo kiive kyako, kimonga kya Moose, ikingi kiive kya Eliya”
when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 UPeteli nalyalutang'hinie ajove kiki, ulwakuva umwene na vanine vaale nu ludwesi.
For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
7 Pepano likiisa ilifunde likavakupikila, likapulikika ilisio kuhuma mu lifunde liiti, “Uju ghwe Mwanango umughanike, mumpulikilasyaghe umwene!”
Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
8 Nakalingi vakolola kuno kuno na kuno navakamwagha umuunhu ujunge, looli ju Yesu mwene.
Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
9 Ye vali mu kidunda vikwika, uYesu akavakaana avavulanisivua vaake vala kuuti, navangampangilaghe nambe muunhu sino vasivwene, kuhanga umwene uMwana ghwa Muunhu alaava asyukile kuhuma ku vafue.
As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
10 Aveene vakaligada ilisio linoajovileuayaesu, kumo vakiposaniagha veene viiti, “Kusyuka ukuo kwekuti kiki?”
So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.
11 Pepano vakamposia uYesu vakati, “Ongo avavulanisi va ndaghilo sa Moose viiti aliisa taasi uEliya, uKilisite ye akyale kuwkisa?”
They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
12 UYesu akavamula akati, “Se seene, aliisa taasi uEliya, kuuti aling'hanie vunono sooni. kange nalilembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, une ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nilapmusivua kyongo na kubedua?
"Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?
13 Lino nikuvavuula niiti, uEliya alisile, neke avaanhu vakam'bombela sino vakighanile aveene, ndavule lilembilue vwimila umwene.”
Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."
14 ye vifika, vakavaagha avavulanisivua avange vikaning'hana na vavulanisi va ndaghilo, vasyungutilue ni lipugha ilya vaanhu.
As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
15 Avaanhu vala ye vikum'bona uYesu vakadegha kyongo, vakaguuna kwa mwene, vakamhungila.
Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.
16 Uyesu akavaposia akati, “Mukaning'hana kiki”
"What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked them.
17 Jumonga nkate mu Kipugha, akamula akati, “Ghwe M'bulanisi, nimuletile umwanango kulyuve, ali lipepo lino likumpelela kuuva kinuunu.
"Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;
18 Jaatu pano lim'bwene likumughwisa paasilikumpelela ahumyaghe ilitotofulo mu mulomo na kughwenula amiino, neke um'bili ghuswatuka. Navasuuma avavulanisivua vaako valihumie, vakunua.”
and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."
19 Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “Mwe kisina ikisina ikisila lwitiko! Nikalile numue unsiki ghwoni ughu, mukyale kukunhang'ania? Nikale ndaani numue? Muleete kulyune!”
"O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me."
20 Vakam'besia kwa Yesu. Pe ilipepo lila likamughwisia paasi unsoleka jula, akasaghalatagha na kuhumia ilitotofulo mu mulomo.
So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Pepano uYesu akamposia uviise akati, “Ulu lulyamwandile lighi?” Akamwamula akati, “Kuhuma pa vwana.
Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;
22 Kekinga lintupiike pa mwoto, pamonga likuntaangha mu malenga, Uvufumbue vwake lim'bude. ghwe Yesu, lino nave uli ngufu kuvomba lumonga, sivuo utusungukile, ututange.
"and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."
23 “UYesu akamwamula akati, “Ghwire nave nili ni ghufu kuvoma lumonga! Sooni sivobeka kwa muunhu unya lwitiko.”
"'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."
24 Apuo unya mwana jula akajova fiijo.”
Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."
25 UYesu ye ilola ilipugha ivona avaanhu vifikwongelela, pepano akalidalikila ilipepo iliamafu akati, “Ghwe lipepo ghw ukumpelela umwana uju kuuva kinuunu na mapule, nikukuvuula niiti, huma mwa muunhu uju nungamwingilaghe kange!
Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, "Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter into him again."
26 Neke ilipepo ilio likakoola, likansukania kyongo, pe likahuma. Unsleke jula akahwana mfimba, vamona vakati, “Afwile!”
So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;
27 Pepano uYesu akankola uluvoko, akamwinula unsokela jula, akiima.
but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.
28 UYesu akingingila mu nyumba, avavulanisivua avaake ye vijekiile naghwope, vakamposia vakati, “Ongo usue tuveele tukunilue kukulidaga ilipepo lila?”
After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
29 UYesuakavamula akati, “Amapepo ndavule agha naghihuma vule vule, looli lulufuunyo lwene.”
"An evil spirit of this kind," He answered, "can only be driven out by prayer."
30 UYesu na vavulanisivua v, ulwakuva akavavulanisia aake, vakavuuka viluta kukilila ku Galilaya. Neke uYesu anakalagha umunhuu ujunge akagule pano pwale,
Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;
31 ulwakuva akava ikuvavulanisia avavulanisivua vaake kuuti, “Une ne Mwana ghwa Muuunhu nitapivikua mu mavoko gha vaanhu vano kyavikumbuda, neke ikighono ikya vutatu nisyuka.”
for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."
32 Avavulanisivua vaake navakalutang'hania luno ijova, vakoghopa kukumposia.
They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.
33 UYesu na vavulanisivua vaake ye vali mu sila, avavulanisivua vakava vikaning'hana. Vakafika mu likaaja ilya Kapelenaumu. Ye vingiile mu nyumba, Yesu akavvaposia akati, “Muveele mukaning'hana kiki ye muli mu sila?
So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
34 Aveene vakajika kihihe, ulwakuva vakakaning'hanagha kuuti ghwe veeni vakajika kimihe, ulwakuva vakakaning'hanagha kuuti ghwe veeni um'baha nkkate mu veene.
But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.
35 UYesu ye ikallile, akavakemeela vala kijigho na vavili akavavuula akati “Umuunhu juno ilonda kuuva ghwa kwanda avisaghe ghwa vusililo, kange m'bombi ghwa vooni.”
Then sitting down He called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
36 Pepano akantoola umwana un'debe, akam'biika pakate, akamughumbatila, neke akavavuula akati,
And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,
37 “Umuunhu juno ikumwupila umwana ndavule uju mu vughane veagho, ikunyupila une. Kange juno ikunyupila une, naiiva anyupiile, looli iiva amwupiile naju Nhaata juno asung'hile.”
"Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me."
38 jumonga idagha amapeo mu litavua lyako, neke usue twankaana ulwakuva naghwa kipugha kiitu.”
"Rabbi," said John to Him, "we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did not follow us."
39 UYesu akati “Namungankanaghe, ulwakuva nakwale jun ivomba ifidegho mu litavua lyango, neke kange anjove fivi une.
"You should not have tried to hinder him," replied Jesus, "for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.
40 Umuunhu ghweni juno namulugu ghwitu, ali lubale lwitu.
He who is not against us is for us;
41 Kange Umuunhu ghweni juno kuvapeela nambe utulenga, ulwakuva muli vaanhu va Kilisite, kyang'haani nikuvuvavuula, uNguluve nangaleke kukumpeela.
and whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I solemnly tell you that he will certainly not lose his reward.
42 UYesu akajova kange akati, “Umuunhu juno ikumwambusia kuvomba inyivi jumonga mu vadebe ava vano vikunyitika une, lwale luuva kuba kwa muunhu ujuo kupinyilisivua ulwa ku singo na kutaghua pa kyogho munyanja.
"And whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe, he would be better off if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea.
43 Uluvoko lwako lungakwambusie, dumula. Yekuba kukwingila ku vwumi ni Lukovo lumo kukila kujigha na mavoko ghe ghaviili neke ulete ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 Muno amang'onyo ghaake naghifua, nambe umwoto naghusima.
45 Nalu lughulu lukakwambusie, dumula. Yekuba kukwingilia ku vwumi uli mulema kukila kujigha na maghulu ghe ghaviili neke utaghue ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
Or if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life crippled, than remain in possession of both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
46 Muno amango'nyo ghaake naghifua, nambe naghumwoto naghusima.
47 Kange iilisio lyako lingakwambusie, ng'omotola, utaaghe. Yekuba kukwingilia ku vutwa vwa Nguluve ni liiso limo kukila kujigha na maaso ghe ghavili neke utaghue ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku, (Geenna g1067)
Or if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God half-blind than remain in possession of two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 Muno 'amang'onyo ghaake naghifua, nambe naghumwoto naghusima.
where their worm does not die and the fire does not go out.
49 “Avaanhu vooni vilivalasivua nu mwoto, ndavule ilitekelo vule livalasivua nu mwinyo.
Every one, however, will be salted with fire.
50 Umwinyo mnofu, leelo nave ghusupuke lwoni, uviike kiki neke ghukolele? Muvisaghe nu mwinyo nkate mulyumue, mukalaghe nu lutrngaano.”
Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another."
