Lukka 9
1 Wakiita bali kumi ababili mpawo wabapa nguzu anzumizyo aatala abadayimona boonse akuponia malwazi.
He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 Wakabatuma kuyo kambawuka bwami bwa Leza akuyosilika bachiswa.
He sent them forth to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutabwezi chintu mulweendo lwenu, nuuba mufunko, niiba nkomo, nichiba chinkwa, nichiba chimbi chizwaato.
And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey—neither staff, nor pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimutakakanjile, amukakkale mulinjiyo mane mukeende.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Kufumbwa nkubatakaleke kumutambula, nimwayoozwa mudolop eelyo muka kunkumune lusuko lwakumawulu aanu kunembo lyabo bukabe bukamboni kulimbabo.”
As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
6 Mpawo bakeenda biinda mum gunzi, kabayabwaambuula majwi mabotu akuyabuponia bantu koonse koonse.
They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.
7 Lino Helodi naakamvwa aatala azyoonse zyakalikuchitika, wakali kataazya, nkaambo bamwi bakali kwaamba kuti Joni Mubbabbatizyi wakali wabuka kubafu,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 alimwi kwakali kutegwa Elija wakali kuboneka, akuti bamwi basinsimi biingi bakale bakali babuka.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Helodi wakati, “Ndakamugonka mutwe Joni, mpo ngwani ooyu ngwelikumvwa aatala azeezi zintu?” Aboobo wakeezya kumubona.
Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.
10 Nibakabpoola batumwa, bakaambila Jesu zyoonse nzibakakuchita. Mpawo wakababweza, bakayinka kubusena bulikule kudolopo litegwa Bbetisayida.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.
11 Pesi makamu aabantu naakamvwa eezi akamutobela. Wakabatambula akwaambula kulimbabo aatala abwami bwa Leza, akuponia aabo bakalikuyanda kuponesegwa.
But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 lino buzuba sbwakali bwaamba kusika kumamanino, mpawo baikkumi ababili bakasika kulinguwe bati, “Wambila bantu aaba beende baye muma gunzi ali aafwiifwi bakayandule akoona achakulya, nkaambo ookuno nkutubede mbusena butakwe chintu pe.”
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
13 Pesi we wakati kulimbabo, “Amubape chakulya ndinywe.” Bakati, “Tujisi biyo zinkwa zilimusanu abaswi babili- kunze aakuti twiinke tukawulile bantu boonse aaba chakulya.”
But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
14 (Kwakali baluumi bakalikusika zyuulu zisanu.) Wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe “Amubaambile bakkale muzibunga zyamakkumi musanu.”
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 Aboobo bakachita mbubakaambilwa bakkazika bantu aansi.
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Wakabweza zinkwa zilimusanu abaswi babili, wakalanga kujulu, wakazilongezya mpawo wakazikwamuuna, mpawo wakapa kuli basikwiiya kuti baabile bantu.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Boonse bakalya bakuta, bufwefwelenga bwakabweezelelwa bwakachaala bwakali kuzuzya zisuwo zili kumi azibili
They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Chakasika chiindi chakuti Jesu wakalikukomba alike, basikwiiya bakali anguwe. Wakabuzya kuti, “Makamu aabantu ati ndimeeni?”
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 Bakasandula kuti, “Joni Mubbabbatizyi. Pesi bamwi bati Elija, mpawo bamwi bati umwi musinsimi wakale wakabuka.”
They answered, "'John the Baptist,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
20 Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Pesi nywe muti ndimeni?” Pita wakasandula kuti, “Munanike Kkilisito wa Leza.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 Pesi wakabadidimizya chamanguzu kuti bataambili muntu pe,
But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 kati, “Mwana wa Muntu welede kusyonsegwa kuzintu zyiingi akukakwa abapati, bapati babapayizi antoomwe abalembi bamulawu, mpawo uzojiigwa mpawo mubuzuba bwatatu uzobuka.”
saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
23 Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo boonse, “Na kwaba muntu uyanda kunditobela weelede alikake abweze chiingano chakwe abuzuba anditobele.
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Ooyo uyanda kutabilila buumi bwakwe uyoobuswekelwa, pesi ooyo uyoswekelwa buumi bwakwe nkaambo kandime uyoobubamba.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25 Niinzi chibotu kuti muntu ajane nyika yoonse, pesi akasweekelwe abumi bwakwe?
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Ooyo uufwa bweeme nkaambo kangu amajwi aangu, alakwe Mwana wa Muntu uyofwa bweeme nayooza mubulemu bwakwe, bulemu bwa Wisi abangelo basalala.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Pesi ndatki kulindinywe nchobeni, kulibamvwi biimvwi aawa batayi kuyoomvwa lufu kabatana bona bwami bwa Leza.”
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God."
28 lino pmusule lyamazuba musanu aatatu Jesu kali waamba majwi aaya, wakabweza Pita a Joni a Jemusi mpawo wakatanta kalundu kuyookomba.
It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 Nakali kukomba busyu bwakwe bwakasanduka, mpawo zisamo zyakwe zyakatuba chakwiindilizya.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Mpawo amulange, baalumi bobile bakali kwaambula aawe, Mozesi a Elija,
And look, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 bakaboneka muchiimo chabulemu bupati. Bakali kwaambula aatala akwenda kwakwe, oko nkwakali walangila kweeta kumamanino mu Jelusalemu.
who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Lino Pita abaabo bakali aawe bakali fwide biya akoona, pesi nibakasinsimuka, bakabonuna bulemu bwakwe abaalumi bobile bakayimvwi aawe.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Aawo nibakali kuyobusosoloka kuzwa kuli Jesu, Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, nchibotu kulindiswe kuti katuli aano. Atuyake zitumba zyotatwe, chimwi chako, chimwi cha Mozesi, achimbi cha Elija” (taakwe nakezi nzyaakali kwaambuula).
It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
34 Kachaambuula oobu, joba lyakasika lyabavumba, mpawo bakayoowa nibakanjila mujoba.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Ijwi lyakamvwika mujoba kaliti, “Ooyu mwana wangu, uusalidwe; amumuswiilile.”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."
36 Ijwi nilyakamana kwaambula Jesu waka chaala kali aalike. Bakawumuna alimwi taakwe ngubakaambila pe mumazuba aayo anzibakabona.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 Likno mubuzuba bwakatobela, nibakaselela mukalundu, inkamu yabantu mpati yakamutambula.
It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a large crowd met him.
38 Amulange umwi mwaalumi kuzwa munkamu wakoompolola, kati, “Muyiisyi, ndakombelela ulange mwana wangu, nkaambo ngomwana wangu alike.
And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Langa, muuya nga wamujata mpawo nga wasanguna kukwiila; zimupa kusuntuka mpawo nga wazwa fulu kumulomo. Tuufwaambani kumuleka pe alimwi umupa kuchubbuuka kapati.
And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Ndakumbila basikwiiya bako kuti bawutande pesi bakachilwa.”
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."
41 Jesu wakasandula wati, “Nywebo nozyalane litasyomi, ndeelede kuba aandinywe kwachiindi chilamfu biyeni akukkala aandinywe? Yeta mwana wako aano.”
Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
42 Nakalikuyobuza mulombe ooyu, muuya wakamuwisizya aansi akumusuntula. Pesi Jesu wakawulayilila muuya mubi akumuponia, akumubwedezya kulo wisi.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Mpawo bakagamba abupati bwa Leza. Aawo kabachigamba boonse aali nzyakali wachita, wakati kulo basikwiiya bakwe,
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Aaya majwi ayelede kunjila loko mmatwi eenu: Mwana wa Muntu uzowabwa kumaanza abaalumi.”
"Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men."
45 Pesi tebakamvwisisisya nzyakalikwaamba. Zyakasiswa kuli mbabo, aboobo tebakaziba nchizyaamba. Alimwi bakayoowa kuti babuzye aatala amajwi aaya.
But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Mpawo kwakabuka kukazyania aatala akuti ngwani aakati kabo utaazobe mupati kwiinda bamwi.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 Pesi Jesu naakaziba zyakali mumyoyo yabo, wakabweza mwana muniini wamweeta kubbazu lyakwe
Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Ooyo uutambula mwana ooyu muzina lyangu, utambula ndime, ayooyo uutambula ndime, utambula ooyo wakandituma. Nkaambo ooyo muniini akati kenu ngonguwe mupati.”
and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one is great."
49 Joni walkasandula wati, “Mwami, twabona umwi muntu kalikutanda madayimona muzina lyako pesi twamukasya, nkaambo takutobeli pe antoomwe andiswe.”
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 “Tamumukasyi pe,” Jesu wakasandula, “nkaambo ooyo uutamulwani nguwenu.”
Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 Nakaswemna mazuba akuti atolwe kujulu, wakabikka budyu bwakwe kuti baye ku Jelusalema.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Wakatma batumwa kunembo lyakwe, bakayinka bakunjila mulilimwi kgunzi lyama Samaria kabamubambila zyoonse.
and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 Pesi bantu bamugunzi eelyo tebakamutambula pe nkaambo wakalikutozya ku Jelusalema.
But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 Basikwiiya bakwe nibakachibona eechi, bakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, uyanda kuti twiite mulilo na kuzwa kujulu iunbanyonyoone boonse?”
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
55 Pesi wakabalanga wabakalalila,
And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Spirit you belong to.
56 mpawo kbakaya kulilimbi gunzi.
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 Kabayobweenda munzila, umwi muntu wakati, “Ndilakutobela koonse nkotakaye.”
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Baswumpe bali aabulyango, atuyuni twamujulu tuli azizoumbo, pesi mwana wamuntu takwe mpanga ulasegezya mutwe wakwe.”
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59 Mpawo wakati kuli umwi, “Nditobele.” Pesi wakati, “Mwami, Ndizumine ndikavwike taata wangu sansi.”
He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Leka bafu bavwikke bafunyina. Pesi webo, yinka ukakambawuke kule aatala abwami bwa Leza.”
But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."
61 Mpawo umwi wakati, “Ndilakutobela, Mwami, pesi ndizumine ndooneke aabo bali amuunzi
Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62 wangu.”Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Taakwe uubikka kubo kwakwe
But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
