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.
Mazuba a mana iyanza ni limwina chinga amana Jesu chahinda Pitorosi ni Jakobo, ni Joani mwa chakwe, mi caba ntwala he lundu li nyemukite abo bene.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Ca sanduka ha hasu bwabo. Vuluvi bwakwe cibwa sanduka ku benya sina izuba, zizwato zakwe cizasanduka sina iboni.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Mubone cikwa boneka Mushe ni Eliia niba wambola naye.
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.”
Pitorosi ce taba, kwa Jesu. “Simwine, kambe kuwolekaa. Nitwe kala ha hanu halotu kuhitiliza. Haiba usaka, linu ime nina zaka zitomba zo tatwe chimwi cibe cako, chimwi ca Mushe, ni chimwi ca Eliia.”
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.”
Ha ba kwete kusi wamba, hamulole, muzunde we kope licena ciweza kuba wumba cikwa zwa izwi libali kuzwila mwikope ci, lyati. “Uzu nji Mwanangu inisuni kuhitiliza, ini kantwa, Mu muzuwe.”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Balutwana bazuwa, ciba suha nikuwa ca bulubi.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
Linu Jesu ceza ni kuba kwata cati, “Mubuke musiye kutiya.”
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
Linu ci ba buka kono kena baba boni mutu konji Jesu yeke.
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.”
Haba suka hasi kuzwa he lundu, Jesu caba laya “kuti kanji ba wambili mutu mane nanga yeke ziba bona konji Mwana Muntu caka buka kuva fwile.”
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Balutwana ciba buza “cizi bañoli havati kuti Eliia eze lwe tazi?”
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
Jesu cetava niku wamba kuti, kuwamba vuniti, “Elia mweze za boze zintu muzi be kalile.
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.”
Kono nimi ta kuti, Elia ca vezite kale, kono kana vava mwizivi civa panga zose zivava kusaka. Mwi zila iswana, Mwana Muntu mwa nyandiswe mu mayaza avo”.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
Valutwana vakwe civa lemuha kuti uwamba Joani yo koloveza.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
Cinga vasika hakunganine batu, muntu ceza kwali, ca fukama havusu vwakwe, naco kuti,
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.
“Simwine, fwile mwanangu inse, ulwala vutuku vwa kuzuminina unyanda maswe. Hamwi uwilinga mu mulilo kapa mu mezi.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Niva muletete kuva lutwana vako, niva kangwa ku muhoza.”
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.”
Jesu cetava cati, “Murahi usa zumini utenda zi fosahele, Kani kale nanwe inako ikumahi? Mulete kunu kwangu.”
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Jesu cakalimela luhuho lubilala. Muhwile cahola mwi nako yeyo.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
Balutwana ba Jesu chiveza kaku liwungula ku vamwi niku vuza, “cizi hatwa kangwa ku zwisa luhuho luvilala?”
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.
Jesu ca wamba kuvali, “kakuli mwina itumelo inini. Ni mi wambila vuniti vwizwile, hamuva nitumelo sina itanga yamasitete, muwola kuwambila ilundu, “zwaho uyende kuna,” muliyende ka kwina cense cili kanise.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Kono ulu luhuho lubilala kalu zwi feela haisi ca kulapela wa kuli nyima zilyo.”
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,
Niva sina mwa Galilea, Jesu ca wambila va lutwana vakwe, “Mwana muntu mwa tambikwe muma yaza abatu.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
Mi muva mwi haye, mi mwi zuba lyabutatu mwa vuswe kuba fwile.” Mi ikulo zaba lutwana vakwe ciza coka luli.
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?”
Chinga vasikna mwa Kapenauma, mukwame yo bona zamutelo nicha buza Pitorosi mane muruti wenu mane ulihanga mutelo?
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?”
Chati, “Eni” ulihanga. Kono Pitorosi cha yenda muzubo, Jesu cha wamba lwetanzi, “iwe uhupula vule Simoni? Masimwine be kanda va tambula mitelo izwa kubani? Kubazwa kule kamba kubatu bave kala navo?”
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
Pitorosi chinge taba kuti, kubatu “bazwakule,” Jesu cha mucho kuti “batu be chinsi kaba zumininwe kuliha mutelo.
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.”
Kanji tuleteli yo lola zamitelo chivi, Yende kwi wate, kasohele kashuto kako mu mezi, Hinde iswi ye tazi wi yalule mulomo wayo mowane isheleni, uka itambike yobona zamitelo muchisa changu ni chako.”
