Makko 9
1 Wakati kulimbabo, “Nchobeni ndati kuli ndinywe, mpubali bamwi banu bayimvwi awa katakoyofwa banjila kabatana bona Bwami bwakujulu bwa-Leza busika kabuli anguzu.
And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
2 Nikwakayinda mazuba alimusanu alimwi, Jesu wakabweza Pita, Jemusi aJoni wakeenda ambabo atala amulundu, lwakwe ambabo. Mpo wakasanduka kunembo lyabo.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
3 Zyakusama zyakwe zyakangayima, zyakatubisisya kwiindilila loko kutuba kwiinda chintu chitubisisya munyika chinga chilakonzya kupenda chimwi.
And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
4 Mpawo Elayija kali aMozesi wakalibonya kulimbabo alimwi wakalikwambula a Jesu.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Pita wakasandula akwamba kuti kuli Jesu, “Muyiisi, nchibotu kuba ano toonse, atuyake zilawu zyotatwe, chimwi chibe chako, chimwi chibe chaMozesi alimwi chimwi chibe cha Eliya”.
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 (Takalizi zyakwamba, nkambo wakali yowede.)
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
7 Ijoba lyakasika akubavumba. Mpawo ijwi lyakazwa mujoba,”Ooyu ngomwana wangu ngundiyandisya. Amumuswiilile”.
And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
8 Aboobo, nibakalanga kumbali, bakabona kakutachikwe muntu akati kabo pesi Jesu alikke.
And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
9 Nibakalikuya buseluka kuzwa achilundu, wakabalayilila kuti tabelede kubuzya kufumbwa omwe nzibakabona kusikila Mwana aMuntu akabuke kuzwa kubafu.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
10 Mpo bakabamba twaambo twabo beni, pesi bakazuwisyana lwabo beni ninzi “Kubuka kuzwa kubafu” zyambaayi.
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
11 Bakamubuzya, “Nkambonzi balembi nibakati Eliya nguyelede kutalika kusika?”
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
12 Wakati kulimbabo, “Eliya ulelede kutalika kusika kuzobambulula zintu zyoonse. Lino nkaambonzi nikulembedwe kuti Mwana waMuntu nelede kufwabisigwa kuzintu zyiingi akunyonganisigwa?
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
13 Pesi ndamwambila kuti Eliya wasika, bakachita kufumbwa nzibayanda kuchita alinguwe mbuli mbukulembedwe atala anguwe”.
But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would, ) as it is written of him.
14 Mpawo nibakasika kuli basikwiiya, bakabona makamu abantu kabazyungulikide.
And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Mpo balembi bakali kukazyanya ambabo. Lino nibakabona Jesu, makamu woonse akagamba nibakamuchijanina bakamujuzya.
And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
16 Wakabuzya basikwiiya bakwe, “Mulikukazyananzi ambabo?”
And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
17 Umwi wakalinkamu wakasandula, “Omwiiyi, ndeeta mwana wangu kulinduwe ulamuuya umwiita kuti atambuulipe.
And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
18 Umumana manguzu akumuwunsizya ansi akuzwa kkovu mumulomo, ngawayuma ntwiinyo, akuyuma mubili. Ndakabuzya basikwiiya bako kuti bamugusye asi bakakachilwa”.
Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
19 Wakabasandula, “Mazyalane atasyomi, ndakkala andinywe kwachiindi chilibuti? Ndiyomukombelezya kuchiindi chilibuti? Mumweete kuli ndime”
Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 Bakamweta mulombe kulinguwe. Kuchindi muuya nwakabona Jesu, mpawo awo lyakamuwisya lyamupa kugwigwima. Mulombe wakawida ansi akuzwa ikkovu mumulomo.
And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
21 Jesu wakabuzya wisi, “Kwaba chiindi chilibiyeni kazichitikana?” Wisi wakati, “Kuzwa kachili mwanikenike”.
And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
22 Chimuwisizya mumulilo kkana mumanzi akwezya kumujeyakuti kukonzya kuchita kufumbwa, tufwide luzyalo utugwasye”.
And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
23 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Kuti kazikonzeka zyoonse zintu zilakonzeka kuliyoyo usyoma!”
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Mpawo wisi wamwana wakalila akwamba kuti, “Ndimusyomi! kondigwasya akutasyoma kwangu!”
And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
25 Jesu nakabona makamu kabachijanina, wakatanda myuuya mibi akwaamba kuti, “Nutambuli nutamvwi ndakwambila kuti, zwamulinguwe, utazobi nunjila lubo mulinguwe”.
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
26 Lyakalila akugwigwimya mulombe akuzwa mulinguwe. Mulombe wakalanga mbuli wakalifwide, biingi bakati,”Ulifwide”.
And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
27 Pele Jesu wakamubeza aluboko wamunyampula, mulombe wakayimikila.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
28 Jesu nakasika munganda, basikwiiya bakamubuzya chakusisikizya, “Nkambonzi nitwatalitanda?”
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
29 Wakati kulumbabo, “Ezi zyamisyobo oyu tazitandiki pesi akukomba”.
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 Bakeenda kuzwa awo akwiinda muGalilaya. Takalikuyanda kufumbwa kuti bazibe nkubakabede,
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
31 nakalikuyiisya basikwiiya bakwe. Wakati kulimbabo, “Mwanamuntu uyopendekezegwa mumaboko amuntu, alimwi bayomujeya. Natayobikwe kulufu, nikutakayinde mazuba atatu uyobuka kuzwa kubafu.
And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
32 Pesi tebakazimvwisisisya pe nzyakali kwamba, alimwi bakalikuyowa kumubuzya.
But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Mpawo nibakasika kuKkapenamu. Mpawo nakanjila munganda wakababuzya, Mwalikwambanzi munzila?”
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
34 Pesi bakawumuna. Mbulikuti bakalibuya bukazyanya awumwi amwenzinyina kabali munzila atala akuti ngwani mupati.
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
35 Nakakkala ansi, wakayita basikwiiya bakwe bali kkumi ababili kabali boonse alimwi wakati kulimbabo, “Na kuli uyanda kuba wakusanguna, welede kuba wakumaninsizya kuli boonse akubalanda boonse”.
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
36 Wakabweza mwana munini wakamibikka akati kabo. Wakamubweza akumubikka amakwiko akwe alimwi wakati kulimbabo,
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
37 “Kufumbwa utambula mwana oyu muzina lyangu watambula ndime, kufumbwa oyo unditambula tatambuli ndime pesi utambula oyo wakandituma”.
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 Joni wakati, “Muyiisi, twabona umwi katanda badayimona munzina lyako alimwi twamukasya, nkaambo tatutobeli pe”.
John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
39 Pesi Jesu wakati, “Mutamukasyi, mbulikuti takwe utakachite milimu mipati muzina lyangu alimwi mbulikuzwa awo bakambule kufumbwa zili atala andime.
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
40 Kufumbwa utakazyani andiswe ngwesu.
For he that is not against you, is for you.
41 Kufumbwa ukupa nkomesi yamanzi kuti unywe muzina lyangu nkambo uzwa kwaKilisito, nchobeni ndamwambila kuti, takoyoyibulikilwa impindu yakwe.
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 Kufumbwa uchita banikenike bandisyoma kui bae, zinoli zibotu kulinguwe kuti abeze ibwe asungililwe munsingo yakwe alimwi awalwe mulwizi.
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 Naa kuboko kwako kwakubisizya, kudunsule. Nchibotu kunjila mubwami bwakubotelwa kwiinda kuba amaboko abili alimwi wakuwida mubbibi lyamulilo, kumulilo utazimi. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
44 Munchali 44mutabikkilizidwe mu ULB. Amba kuti ichikoye chabo tachikoyofwa, alimwi mulilo tukoyozimwa.
Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 Na kuulu kwako kwakuchita kuti ubisye, kudunsule. Nchibotu kunjila mubuumi bwakubotelwa kuli chilema kwiinda kuba amawulu abili alimwi wakuwida mubbibi lyamulilo. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
46 Munchali 46 tabikkidwe pe mu ULB. Amba kuti ichikonye chabo tachikoyofwa, alimwi mulilo tukoyozimwa.
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 Na liso lyako lyakuchita kuti ubisye, ligusye. Nchibotu kunjila mubwami bwakujulu aliso limwi kwiinda kuba ameso abili wakuwisigilwa mubbibi lyamulilo, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: (Geenna g1067)
48 kutayofwa kwachikonye chabo, mulilo tukoyozima.
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 Nkaambo moonse muyolungwa amunyo wamulilo.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 Munyo mubotu, pesi kuti munyo wasapuka, ulachitwa biyeni kuti ube munyo lubo? Amube munyo nywebo nobeni, alimwi mube alumuno kuli umwi awumwi”.
Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
