Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Pagamasile moŵa sita, Che Yesu ŵajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana mpwao, ŵakwesile pamo nawo penani chitumbi cheleu, kweleko ŵaliji ŵanyapewo.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Kweleko, Che Yesu ŵagalawiche uwoneche wakwe paujo pao, ku meeso kwao kwamelemendaga mpela lyuŵa ni iwalo yao yaliji yeswela mpela lulanga.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Chisisimuchile che Musa ni che Elia ŵaakopochele, ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.
4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Pelepo che Petulo ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje, yambone uwe kuŵa apano! Mwasakaga chindaŵe masakasa gatatu, limo lyenumwe ni line li che Musa ni line li che Elia.”
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Paŵaŵechetaga gelego, liunde lyeswela lyaunichile ŵanyawo, ni lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela mu liunde lila lichitiji, “Aju ali Mwanangu jungunnonyela, nonyelwe nawo, mumpilikanichisye jwelejo.”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Ŵakulijiganya paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajogwepe nnope, ŵagwile manguku.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaichilile, ŵakwayiye achitiji, “Njimuche, nkajogopa!”
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
Paŵalolite kwinani nganammona mundu jwalijose akaŵe Che Yesu jika pe.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
Nipele, paŵatulukaga pa chitumbi po, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Kasimunsalila mundu jwalijose inyiweni ila, mpaka patachisyuka Mwana jwa Mundu kutyochela mu chiwa.”
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵammusisye, “Kwachichi nambi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa akuti chaiche kaje che Elia?”
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Isyene, che Elia chaiche kaje ni kukolosya indu yose iŵe chile.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
Nambo ngunsalila, che Elia amasile kwika, nganammanyilila, nambo ŵantendele iŵasachile. Nombewo chachinnagasya Mwana jwa Mundu iyoyopeyo.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵangambaga che Yohana Ŵakubatisya.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
Paŵaiche sooni pa wele mpingo wa ŵandu ula, ŵaiche mundu jumo mmbujo pa Che Yesu ni kwatindiŵalila,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
ŵatite, “Ambuje, munkolele chanasa mwanangu pakuŵa akulwala njilinjili ni kulaga nnope, katema kakajinji akugwilila pa mooto pane mmeesi.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Nannyichisye kwa ŵakulijiganya ŵenu, nambo nganakombola kunnamya.”
17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uŵelesi wangali chikulupi ni wakulyungasika, ana chime ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Mpaka chakachi chinampililile? Munjise nawo apano.”
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalikalipile lisoka lila, nombelyo lyankopweche ni jwanchanda jula ŵalamile katema kakoko.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵaichile Che Yesu kwa chisyepela ni kwausya, “Ligongo chi nganitukombola kulikoposya lisoka lila?”
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwa ligongo lya chikulupi chenu chachinandi. Ngunsalila isyene, mwaŵaga ni chikulupi atamuno chaŵaga chachinandi chisau mbeju jajinandi nnope jajikuŵilanjikwa haladali, chinkombole kuchisalila achi chitumbi chi, ‘Ntyoche apa njaule ako,’ nombecho chichityoche. Ngalipagwa liloŵe lyangalikombolecheka kukwenu.”
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Nambo lisoka lyanti yele ngalikutyosyekwa ikaŵe kwa kupopela ni kutaŵa.
22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Ŵakulijiganya paŵaliji pamo ku Galilaya, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu akwaula kukutagwa mmakono ga ŵandu.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
Nombewo chachimmulaga, nambo chachisyuka pa lyuŵa lyaatatu.” Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵasongoneche nnope.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiche ku Kapelenaumu ŵandu ŵakukumbikanya nsongo wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaichilile che Petulo, ŵausisye, “Ana jwakwiganya jwenu akulipa nsongo wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu?”
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Elo, akulipa.” Nipele, che Petulo paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, akanaŵe kuŵecheta liloŵe, Che Yesu ŵalongolele kummusya achitiji, “Che Simoni, mmwe nkuti uli? Mamwenye ŵa pa chilambo akukumbikanya nsongo atamuno ushulu kwa ŵandu chi? Kutyochela kwa achinsyene musi pane kwa achalendo?”
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Kutyochela kwa achalendo.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nipele, iŵaga ili yeleyo, achinsyene musi wo ngakusachilwa kulipa.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
Nambo tukaachima ŵandu ŵa. Njaule kulitanda nkaloposye, ni somba jandanda kutanjila pa ndowana, nkajiunukule kang'wa ni chinkasisimane mbiya sya nsongo. Njigale ni kwapa ligongo lyangune ni lyenu mmwe.”
