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.
Pegamaliki magono sita, Yesu avatoli Petili na Yakobo na Yohani mlongo waki, akahamba nawu ngavene kunani ya chitumbi chitali.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Kwenuko, Yesu ang'anamwiki mlolekanu waki palongolo yavi. Pamihu paki pang'asimi ngati lilanga na nyula zaki zang'asimi ngati lumuli.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Kangi vawuliwa vadatu vala vavawene Musa na Eliya vilongela na Yesu.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Penapo petili akamjovela Yesu, “Bambu ndi chabwina tete kuvya apa! Ngati wigana yati nijenga vindanda vidatu chimonga cha veve, chimonga cha Musa na chingi cha Eliya.”
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
Petili peavi akona ijova ago, lihundi la msopi lavagubiki, na lwami lukayuwanika kuhuma mulihundi, “Mwenuyu ndi mwana vangu mwenikumgana mweniganisiwa nayu mumyuwanilayi.”
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Vawuliwa vala pevayuwini genago, vakayogopa neju, vakagwa chakukupama.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Nambu Yesu akavahambila, akavapamisa, akajova, “Myima mkoto kuyogopa!”
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Pavayinula mitu yavi na kulola avi lepi mundu yungi, nambu ndi Yesu mwene.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Hinu, pavahelela kuhuma kuchitumbi, ndi Yesu avabesili, “Mkoto kumjovela mundu mambu gemgaweni mbaka Mwana wa Mundu peiyukiswa.”
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Kangi vawuliwa vakamkota “Ndava kyani vawula va malagizu vijova Eliya abwela hoti?”
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Yesu akavayangula, “Chakaka, Eliya yati ibwela hoti na kutendelekela mambu goha.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
Nambu nikuvajovela, Eliya amali kubwela na vene nakummanya, nambu vamhengili chavaganili. Mewawa Mwana wa Mundu yati in'gahiswa mumawoko gavi.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Kangi vawuliwa vamanyili kuvya akuvajovela kumvala Yohani Mbatizaji.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
Pevauhikili kavili msambi wa vandu, mundu mmonga amhambili Yesu, akamfugamila palongolo yaki,
15 and said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
akajova “Bambu mhengela lipyana mwana vangu muni ihinduka, kangi ing'ahika neju, pamahele mwene igwa pamotu amala mumanji.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Namletili kwa vawuliwa vaku nambu vahotwili lepi kumlamisa.”
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."
Yesu akayangula, “Nyenye chiveleku changasadika na chechiyagili yati nitama na nyenye mbaka ndali? Yati nikuvasindimalila nyenye mbaka ndali? Mniletela apa mwana mwenuyo.”
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Yesu akahakalila mzuka wula, wene ukamuwuka ndi msongolo yula akalama lukumbi lulalula.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Kangi vawuliwa vakamhambila Yesu pachiepela na kumkota, “Ndava kyani tete tahotwili lepi kuuwusa mzuka?”
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly 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."
Yesu akayangula, “Ndava sadika yinu yidebe. Nikuvajovela chakaka ngati muvi na sadika hati yidebe ngati mbeyu ya haladali. Mwihotola kuchijovela chitumbi ichi, ‘Wuka apa uhamba pala!’ Nachene yati chihamba, kawaka chindu chochoha changahengeka kwinu.”
Nambu mzuka ngati uwu nakuhuma, nambu kwa kumuyupa Chapanga na kujihinisa kulya chakulya.
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Vawuliwa va Yesu pevavi pamonga ku Galilaya Yesu akavajovela, “Mwana wa Mundu yati igotolewa kwa vandu.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
Yati vakumkoma nambu paligono la datu yati iyukiswa.” Vawuliwa vaki vakavya vakaviniswa mtima.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
Pevahikili ku Kapelanaumu vandu vevitola kodi ya Nyumba ya Chapanga vakamhambila Petili, vakamkota, “Wu, muwula winu, ilipa kodi ya Nyumba ya Chapanga?”
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?"
Petili akavayangula, “Ena, ilipa.” Hinu, petili peayingili munyumba kwakona angajova chindu, Yesu akamkota, “Simoni, veve wihololela wuli? Vankosi va pamulima vitola ushulu amala kodi kuhuma kwa yani? Kuhuma kwa vakolonjinji amala kwa vayehe?”
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Petili akayangula “Kwa vayehe.” Yesu akamjovela chakaka, “Vakolonjinji vilipa lepi.
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."
Nambu tikotoka kuvayomesa vandu ava. Uhamba kunyanja ukataga luvecha, somba yeutumbwili kulova utola, udindula mlomo waki yati ukolela lishonga utola ulipa kodi ndava yaku na ndava yangu.”
