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.
He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
2 Nikwakayinda mazuba alimusanu alimwi, Jesu wakabweza Pita, Jemusi aJoni wakeenda ambabo atala amulundu, lwakwe ambabo. Mpo wakasanduka kunembo lyabo.
Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then he was transfigured before them.
3 Zyakusama zyakwe zyakangayima, zyakatubisisya kwiindilila loko kutuba kwiinda chintu chitubisisya munyika chinga chilakonzya kupenda chimwi.
His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
4 Mpawo Elayija kali aMozesi wakalibonya kulimbabo alimwi wakalikwambula a Jesu.
Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, 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”.
Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 (Takalizi zyakwamba, nkambo wakali yowede.)
(For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
7 Ijoba lyakasika akubavumba. Mpawo ijwi lyakazwa mujoba,”Ooyu ngomwana wangu ngundiyandisya. Amumuswiilile”.
A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Aboobo, nibakalanga kumbali, bakabona kakutachikwe muntu akati kabo pesi Jesu alikke.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
9 Nibakalikuya buseluka kuzwa achilundu, wakabalayilila kuti tabelede kubuzya kufumbwa omwe nzibakabona kusikila Mwana aMuntu akabuke kuzwa kubafu.
As they were coming down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Mpo bakabamba twaambo twabo beni, pesi bakazuwisyana lwabo beni ninzi “Kubuka kuzwa kubafu” zyambaayi.
So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Bakamubuzya, “Nkambonzi balembi nibakati Eliya nguyelede kutalika kusika?”
They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Wakati kulimbabo, “Eliya ulelede kutalika kusika kuzobambulula zintu zyoonse. Lino nkaambonzi nikulembedwe kuti Mwana waMuntu nelede kufwabisigwa kuzintu zyiingi akunyonganisigwa?
He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man 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 Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
14 Mpawo nibakasika kuli basikwiiya, bakabona makamu abantu kabazyungulikide.
When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
15 Mpo balembi bakali kukazyanya ambabo. Lino nibakabona Jesu, makamu woonse akagamba nibakamuchijanina bakamujuzya.
As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
16 Wakabuzya basikwiiya bakwe, “Mulikukazyananzi ambabo?”
He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Umwi wakalinkamu wakasandula, “Omwiiyi, ndeeta mwana wangu kulinduwe ulamuuya umwiita kuti atambuulipe.
Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18 Umumana manguzu akumuwunsizya ansi akuzwa kkovu mumulomo, ngawayuma ntwiinyo, akuyuma mubili. Ndakabuzya basikwiiya bako kuti bamugusye asi bakakachilwa”.
It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they could not.”
19 Wakabasandula, “Mazyalane atasyomi, ndakkala andinywe kwachiindi chilibuti? Ndiyomukombelezya kuchiindi chilibuti? Mumweete kuli ndime”
He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Bakamweta mulombe kulinguwe. Kuchindi muuya nwakabona Jesu, mpawo awo lyakamuwisya lyamupa kugwigwima. Mulombe wakawida ansi akuzwa ikkovu mumulomo.
They brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
21 Jesu wakabuzya wisi, “Kwaba chiindi chilibiyeni kazichitikana?” Wisi wakati, “Kuzwa kachili mwanikenike”.
Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
22 Chimuwisizya mumulilo kkana mumanzi akwezya kumujeyakuti kukonzya kuchita kufumbwa, tufwide luzyalo utugwasye”.
It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Kuti kazikonzeka zyoonse zintu zilakonzeka kuliyoyo usyoma!”
Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Mpawo wisi wamwana wakalila akwamba kuti, “Ndimusyomi! kondigwasya akutasyoma kwangu!”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 Jesu nakabona makamu kabachijanina, wakatanda myuuya mibi akwaamba kuti, “Nutambuli nutamvwi ndakwambila kuti, zwamulinguwe, utazobi nunjila lubo mulinguwe”.
When Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into him again.”
26 Lyakalila akugwigwimya mulombe akuzwa mulinguwe. Mulombe wakalanga mbuli wakalifwide, biingi bakati,”Ulifwide”.
It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 Pele Jesu wakamubeza aluboko wamunyampula, mulombe wakayimikila.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
28 Jesu nakasika munganda, basikwiiya bakamubuzya chakusisikizya, “Nkambonzi nitwatalitanda?”
When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 Wakati kulumbabo, “Ezi zyamisyobo oyu tazitandiki pesi akukomba”.
He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
30 Bakeenda kuzwa awo akwiinda muGalilaya. Takalikuyanda kufumbwa kuti bazibe nkubakabede,
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
31 nakalikuyiisya basikwiiya bakwe. Wakati kulimbabo, “Mwanamuntu uyopendekezegwa mumaboko amuntu, alimwi bayomujeya. Natayobikwe kulufu, nikutakayinde mazuba atatu uyobuka kuzwa kubafu.
for he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has been put to death, after three days he will rise again.”
32 Pesi tebakazimvwisisisya pe nzyakali kwamba, alimwi bakalikuyowa kumubuzya.
But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Mpawo nibakasika kuKkapenamu. Mpawo nakanjila munganda wakababuzya, Mwalikwambanzi munzila?”
Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 Pesi bakawumuna. Mbulikuti bakalibuya bukazyanya awumwi amwenzinyina kabali munzila atala akuti ngwani mupati.
But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was 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”.
Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Wakabweza mwana munini wakamibikka akati kabo. Wakamubweza akumubikka amakwiko akwe alimwi wakati kulimbabo,
He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
37 “Kufumbwa utambula mwana oyu muzina lyangu watambula ndime, kufumbwa oyo unditambula tatambuli ndime pesi utambula oyo wakandituma”.
“Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”
38 Joni wakati, “Muyiisi, twabona umwi katanda badayimona munzina lyako alimwi twamukasya, nkaambo tatutobeli pe”.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”
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 stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.
40 Kufumbwa utakazyani andiswe ngwesu.
Whoever is not against us is for us.
41 Kufumbwa ukupa nkomesi yamanzi kuti unywe muzina lyangu nkambo uzwa kwaKilisito, nchobeni ndamwambila kuti, takoyoyibulikilwa impindu yakwe.
Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 Kufumbwa uchita banikenike bandisyoma kui bae, zinoli zibotu kulinguwe kuti abeze ibwe asungililwe munsingo yakwe alimwi awalwe mulwizi.
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown 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)

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)

where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 Nkaambo moonse muyolungwa amunyo wamulilo.
For everyone will be salted with fire.
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 has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
