Mark 9
1 Ayi wubuela diaka: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba: batu bankaka badi vava balendi ba fuako nate bela mona Kipfumu ki Nzambi kinkuizila mu lulendo.
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 Bilumbu bisambanu bu bivioka, Yesu wubonga Piela, Zaki ayi Yowani, wuba nata va bawu veka, va lutengo, va mbata mongo wumosi wunda. Wukituka va ntualꞌawu;
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 minledi miandi mitona lezama ayi mieka miphembi dio ve. Kuisi ko mutu va ntoto wumvimba beki buvedisila minledi muingi miba phembi yi phila yina
His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.
4 Tumbu zimbukila Eli ayi Moyize baba monikina; bansolula ayi Yesu.
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,
5 Buna Piela wukamba Yesu: —A Nlongi! Bulutidi mbote tukala kueto vava! Bika tutunga zinzozitatu zikapu: yimosi mu diambu diaku, yimosi mu diambu di Moyize, yimosi mu diambu di Eli.
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 Bukiedika kasia zaba ko diambu dituba bila bawu boso boma baba mona.
For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
7 Buna dituti dimosi dimonika ayi diba fuka. Mbembo yimosi yitotuka mu dituti beni, yiwakana: —Niandi, niawu muanꞌama wu luzolo, lunwila!
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 Muna yina thangu, minlonguki bu mitala ku ndambu ayi ndambu misia buela mona Moyize ayi Eli ko vayi Yesu kaka wusiala yawu.
Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
9 Bu baba nengumuka mongo, Yesu wuba vana lutumunu ti babikakamba mambu mama bamueni kadi kuidi mutu wumosi nate Muana Mutu kelafuluka mu bafua.
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 Balunda mambu beni vayi bayuvasana bawu yi bawu tsundu yi “fuluka mu bafua”.
So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.
11 Buna banyuvula: —A bila mbi minlongi mi Mina mieta tubila ti Eli kafueti tuama kuiza theti e?
They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
12 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika Eli kafueti tuama kuiza ayi wela kubika mambu moso. Vayi bila mbi disonimina mu minkanda ti Muana Mutu wela mona ziphasi ziwombo ayi wela sekonono e?
"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 Vayi minu ndikulukamba ti Eli wuyiza vayi bamvangila mambu bosobubela luzolo luawu banga bu disonimina mu diambu diandi.
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 Buna batula kuba minlonguki; bamona nkangu wu batu wuba zungidila ayi milembo findana ziphaka ayi minlongi mi Mina.
As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
15 Vana vawu nkangu wu batu buna wumona Yesu, wusimina ngolo. Buna batu boso bazawula mu diambu bamvana mbote.
Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.
16 Buna wuba yuvula: —A diambu mbi lulembo findinina yawu ziphaka e?
"What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked them.
17 Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu wumvutudila: —A Nlongi, ndinatiningi muanꞌama wu bakala widi pheve yi dibaba.
"Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;
18 Mu kioso kuandi buangu Pheve yimbimba yawu kumbuila, yeti kuntutumuna ngolo ayi weti totula difulu mu munu; weti kueta meno, bosi nitu yifueti mana kangama. Khembi minlonguki miaku muingi mikuka pheve beni vayi misi nunga ko.
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 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Tsungi yikambulu minu! Zithangu zikua ndiela kadila yeno va kimosi e? Zithangu zikua ndiela buela kangila ntima mu bila kieno e? Lundatina niandi.
"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 Bantuadila muana beni. Pheve yimbimbi bu yitumbu mona Yesu, yitutumuna muana beni; muana wulumbama va tsi; muana wumvindumuka va tsi. Difulu dieka ntotuka va munu.
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 Yesu wuyuvula dise diandi: —Tona thangu mbi katonina mona ziphasi ziazi e? Dise diandi divutula: —Tona mu bumuana buandi.
Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;
22 Zikhumbu ziwombo Pheve beni yimbimbi yeti kunlumba ku mbazu voti mu nlangu muingi yimvonda. Enati wulenda vanga diambu, bunabika wutumona kiadi, wutusadisa!
"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 Yesu wumvutudila: —Enati wulenda! Mambu moso malenda vangama kuidi woso mutu wilukidi!
"'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."
24 Vana vawu dise di muana diyamikina: —Nguilukidi, wutsadisa mu kambu kuama ku minu.
Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."
25 Yesu bu kamona ti nkangu wu batu wulundumuka, buna wutemina pheveyimbimbi ayi wutuba: —A Pheve yimbimbi yeti kanga mbembo ayi matu ma muana, minu ndikutumina: Totuka mu muana wawu ayi muisi ko thangu mu buela vutuka mu niandi.
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 Pheve yimbimbi yiyamikina, yitutumuna muana beni, bosi yitotuka. Muana beni weka banga wufua. Diawu batu boso baba vana batubila: “Yimeni, fuidi.”
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 Vayi yesu wunsimba mu koko, wuntedimisa, bosi muana beni wutelama.
but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.
28 Yesu bu kakota mu nzo, minlonguki miandi mieka kunyuvula va bawu veka: —A bila mbi beto tusi nunganga ko mu kuka pheve yoyo e?
After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
29 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Pheve yi phila yayi yeti totukila kaka mu lusambulu.
"An evil spirit of this kind," He answered, "can only be driven out by prayer."
30 Babotuka muna zunga beni, baviokila ku Ngalili. Yesu kasia zola ko ti mutu ka buzaba
Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;
31 bila minlonguki miandi kaba longo; wuba kamba: —Muana Mutu wela yekolo mu mioko mi batu. Bela kumvonda. Vayi bilumbu bitatu bu biela vioka, wela fuluka mu bafua.
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 Vayi minlonguki misia sudika ko tsundu malongi beni, bosi boma miba mona mu kunyuvula biuvu.
They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.
33 Batula ku Kafalinawumi. Yesu bu kaba muna nzo, buna wuba yuvula: —A mambu mbi lulembo findininanga ziphaka mu nzila e?
So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
34 Baboso baba dio sui! Bila bu baba mu nzila, bafindasana bawu nabawu ziphaka mu diambu di zaba nani muna badi lutidi munneni.
But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.
35 Yesu wuvuanda, wutumisa Kumi mimvuala miodi ayi vuba kamba: —Enati mutu tidi ba wutheti, buna kaba wutsuka mu batu boso ayikaba kisadi ki batu boso.
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 Bosi wubonga muana lezi, wuntelimisa va khatitsikꞌawu. Buna kambonga mu mioko miandi bosi wuba kamba:
And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,
37 —Woso wunyakula muana lezi wuphila yayi mu dizina diama, minu kuandi kayakudi. Ayi woso mutu wundiakudi buna bika sia ti minu kaka kayakudi vayi yakudi diaka mutu wowo wuthuma.
"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 Bosi Yowani wunkamba: —Nlongi, tumueningi mutu wumosi wuntotula ziphevi zimbimbi mu dizinadiaku vayi tunkandikidingi bila katulandakananga ko.
"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 Yesu wumvutudila: —Lubika kunkandika, bila kuisi ko mutu weti vanga kumu mu dizinadiama ayi zimbukulu weka kuthubidila mambu mambimbi.
"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 Bila woso wukambu bumbeni kuidi beto buna ku ndambu eto kadi.
He who is not against us is for us;
41 Tala, bukiedika ndikulukamba: woso kuandi mutu wukuluvana banza ti kopoyi nlangu mu dizina diama bila luidi batu ba Klisto, kalendi zimbisa ko mfutu andi.
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 Ayi wubuela tuba ti: —Woso mutu wumbuisa mu masumu wumosi mu bana balezi baba betikunguilukila, bulutidi mboti bankanga, mu tsingu, ditadi dinneni diodi beti nikina zitheti bosi banloza mu mbu.
"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 Enati koko kuaku kulembo buisi mu masumu buna zenga kuawu bila mboti wukota mu luzingu ayi koko kumosi ayi kuenda ku bulungi, kuidi mbazuyizimanga ko ayi mioko miodi miduka. [ (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 Kuna zimvidi ziawu zilendi fua ko ayi mbazu yilendi zima ko.]
45 Enati kulu kuaku kulembo buisi mu masumu, buna zenga kuawu bilamboti wukota mu luzingu ayi kulu kumosi ayi mu lozo ku bulungi ayi malu muadi maduka. [ (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 Kuna zimvidi ziawu zilendi fua ko ayi mbazu yilendi zima ko.]
47 Enati dieso diaku dieti kubuisa mu masumu, buna dovula diawu bila mboti wukota mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi dieso dimosi ayi mu lozo ku bulungi ayi meso muadi maduka; (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 kuna zimvidi ziawu zilendi fua ko ayi mbazu yilendi zima ko.
where their worm does not die and the fire does not go out.
49 Bila kadika mutu wela kitulu lueki mu mbazu banga tsalu bu yinkitudilanga bidia lueki.
Every one, however, will be salted with fire.
50 Tsalu kima kimboti vayi ti yisiedi ko lueki, buna buevi lulenda vutudila diakalueki luandi e? Diawu bika luba tsalu mu beno veka ayi zingilanganu mu ndembama beno na beno.
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."
