Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Yesu atawayitana khumi ndi awiriwo pamodzi, Iye anawapatsa mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wotulutsa ziwanda zonse ndi kuchiritsa matenda.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Ndipo Iye anawatumiza kukalalikira za ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kukachiritsa odwala.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Musatenge kanthu paulendo. Musatenge ndodo, thumba, buledi, ndalama, ndi malaya apadera.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Nyumba iliyonse imene mulowa, mukhale momwemo kufikira mutachoka mu mzindawo.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
Ngati anthu sakulandirani, sasani fumbi la kumapazi anu pomwe mukuchoka mu mzinda wawo ngati umboni owatsutsa.”
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Ndipo iwo ananyamuka napita, mudzi ndi mudzi, kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino ndi kuchiritsa anthu paliponse.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Tsopano Herode olamulirayo anamva zonse zimachitikazi. Ndipo iye anavutika kwambiri chifukwa ena amati Yohane waukitsidwa kwa akufa,
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
ena amati Eliya waonekera, ndipo ena anatinso mmodzi wa aneneri akalekale waukanso.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Koma Herode anati, “Ine ndinamudula mutu Yohane. Nanga uyu ndani amene ndikumva zinthu zotere za Iye?” Ndipo iye anayesetsa kuti amuone Iye.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
Atumwi atabwerera, anamuwuza Yesu zimene anachita. Kenaka Iye anawatenga napita kwa okha ku mudzi wa Betisaida.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
Koma gulu la anthu linadziwa ndipo anamutsatira. Iye anawalandira ndi kuyankhula nawo za ufumu wa Mulungu, ndi kuchiritsa amene amafuna machiritso.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
Chakumadzulo dzuwa litapita, khumi ndi awiriwo anabwera kwa Iye ndipo anati, “Uzani gulu la anthuli lichoke kuti apite ku midzi yotizungulira ndi madera a ku mudzi kuti akapeze chakudya ndi pogona, chifukwa kuno ndi kuthengo.”
13 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.”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Apatseni chakudya kuti adye.” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife tili ndi malofu a buledi asanu okha ndi nsomba ziwiri, pokhapokha titapita kukagula chakudya cha gulu la anthu onsewa.”
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
(Pamenepo panali amuna pafupifupi 5,000). Koma Iye anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Akhazikeni pansi mʼmagulu a anthu pafupifupi makumi asanu.”
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Ophunzira ake anachita zomwezo ndipo aliyense anakhala pansi.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Atatenga malofu a buledi asanu ndi nsomba ziwiri zija anayangʼana kumwamba, nayamika ndipo anazigawa. Kenaka anazipereka kwa ophunzira ake kuti azipereke kwa anthu.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Onse anadya nakhuta, ndipo ophunzira ake anatolera madengu khumi ndi awiri odzaza ndi nyenyeswa zomwe zinatsala.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Nthawi ina pamene Yesu amapemphera malo a yekha ali ndi ophunzira ake, Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi anthu amati Ine ndine yani?”
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ena amati Yohane Mʼbatizi; ena amati Eliya; ndipo enanso amati mmodzi wa aneneri akalekale waukanso.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Iye anafunsa kuti, “Koma nanga inu mumati Ine ndine yani?” Petro anayankha kuti, “Mpulumutsi wolonjezedwa uja wa Mulungu.”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Yesu anawachenjeza kwambiri kuti asawuze wina aliyense za izi.
22 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.”
Ndipo Iye anati, “Mwana wa Munthu ayenera kuzunzika kwambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo, Iye ayenera kuphedwa ndipo tsiku lachitatu adzauka kwa akufa.”
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Ndipo Iye anawuza onse kuti, “Ngati wina aliyense akufuna kutsata Ine, ayenera kudzikana yekha ndi kusenza mtanda wake tsiku ndi tsiku nʼkumanditsata Ine.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
Popeza aliyense amene akufuna kupulumutsa moyo wake adzawutaya, koma aliyense amene adzataya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine adzawupulumutsa.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Kodi chabwino ndi chiti kwa munthu, kupata zonse zapansi pano, koma ndi kutaya moyo wake kapena kudziwononga iye mwini?
26 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.
Ngati wina aliyense achita nane manyazi ndi ndiponso mawu anga, Mwana wa Munthu adzachita naye manyazi pamene adzabwera mu ulemerero wake ndi mu ulemerero wa Atate ndi angelo oyera.
27 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 God’s Kingdom.”
Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti ena mwa inu amene mwayima pano simudzalawa imfa musanaone ufumu wa Mulungu.”
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Patatha pafupifupi masiku asanu ndi atatu Yesu atanena izi, Iye anatenga Petro, Yohane ndi Yakobo ndi kukwera ku phiri kukapemphera.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Pamene Iye ankapemphera, maonekedwe a nkhope yake, ndi zovala zake zinawala monyezimira kwambiri.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Anthu awiri, Mose ndi Eliya,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
anaonekera mu ulemerero opambana akuyankhulana ndi Yesu. Iwo amayankhulana za kuchoka kwake, kumene Iye anali pafupi kukakwaniritsa ku Yerusalemu.
32 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.
Petro ndi anzake anali ndi tulo tambiri, koma atadzuka, iwo anaona ulemerero wake ndi anthu awiri atayima pamodzi ndi Iye.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
Pamene anthuwo ankamusiya Yesu, Petro anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, ndi chabwino kwa ife kuti tikhale pano. Tiloleni kuti timange misasa itatu, umodzi wanu, umodzi wa Mose ndi umodzi wa Eliya.” (Iye sanadziwe chimene amayankhula).
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Pamene Iye ankayankhula, mtambo unaonekera ndi kuwaphimba iwo, ndipo anachita mantha pamene mtambowo unawakuta.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Mawu anachokera mu mtambomo nati, “Uyu ndi Mwana wanga amene ndamusankha; mumvereni Iye.”
36 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.
Atamveka mawuwa, anaona kuti Yesu anali yekha. Ophunzirawo anazisunga izi mwa iwo okha ndipo sanawuze wina aliyense pa nthawiyi za zomwe iwo anaziona.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Mmawa mwake, akutsika ku phiri, anthu ambiri anakumana naye.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
Munthu wina mʼgulu la anthulo anayitana kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndikupemphani kuti muone mwana wangayu, pakuti ndi mmodzi yekhayu.
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
Chiwanda chikamugwira amafuwula mwadzidzidzi; chimamugwedeza kolimba mpaka kutuluka thovu kukamwa. Sichimusiya ndipo chikumuwononga.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Ine ndinapempha ophunzira anu kuti achitulutse, koma alephera.”
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Haa! Anthu osakhulupirira ndi mʼbado wokhota. Kodi Ine ndidzakhala nanu nthawi yayitali yotani ndi kukupirirani? Bweretsa mwana wako kuno.”
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Ngakhale pamene mnyamata amabwera kwa Yesu, chiwandacho chinamugwetsa pansi ndi kumugwedeza. Koma Yesu anadzudzula mzimu woyipawo nachiritsa mwa mnyamatayo ndi kumuperekanso kwa abambo ake.
43 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,
Ndipo iwo onse anadabwa ndi ukulu wa Mulungu. Aliyense akudabwa ndi zimene Yesu anachita, Iyeyo anati kwa ophunzira ake,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Tamvetsetsani zimene ndikufuna kukuwuzani: Mwana wa Munthu akupita kukaperekedwa mʼmanja mwa anthu.”
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Koma iwo sanazindikire zimene amatanthauza. Izi zinawadabwitsa kotero sanathe kuzimvetsa ndipo anaopa kumufunsa.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Mkangano unayambika pakati pa ophunzira wa kuti wamkulu koposa akanakhala ndani mwa iwo.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Yesu podziwa maganizo awo, anatenga kamwana nakayimika pambali pake.
48 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 will be great.”
Ndipo Iye anawawuza kuti, “Aliyense wolandira bwino kamwana aka mʼdzina langa, ndiye kuti akulandiranso bwino Ine; ndipo aliyense wolandira bwino Ine, ndiye kuti akulandiranso bwino amene anandituma Ine. Pakuti amene ndi wamngʼono pakati panu, ndiye amene ali wamkulu koposa.”
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Yohane anati, “Ambuye, ife tinaona munthu akutulutsa ziwanda mʼdzina lanu ndipo tinayesa kumuletsa, chifukwa iyeyo si mmodzi wa ife.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Yesu anati, “Wosamuletsa, pakuti amene satsutsana nanu ali mbali yanu.”
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
Nthawi itayandikira yoti Iye atengedwe kupita kumwamba, Yesu anatsimikiza zopita ku Yerusalemu,
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
ndipo anatuma nthumwi kuti zitsogole. Iwo anapita mʼmudzi wa Asamariya kuti akonzekere kumulandira,
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
koma anthu kumeneko sanamulandire chifukwa Iye ankapita ku Yerusalemu.
54 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 destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
Ophunzira awa, Yohane ndi Yakobo ataona zimenezi, anafunsa kuti, “Ambuye, kodi mukufuna ife tiyitane moto kuchokera kumwamba kuti uwawononge?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Koma Yesu anatembenuka ndi kuwadzudzula,
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
ndipo iwo anapita ku mudzi wina.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Pamene iwo ankayenda mu msewu, munthu wina anati kwa Iye, “Inu ndikutsatirani kulikonse kumene mudzapita.”
58 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.”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Nkhandwe zili ndi mapanga ake, mbalame zili ndi zisa zake, koma Mwana wa Munthu alibe malo wogonekapo mutu wake.”
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Iye anati kwa wina, “Nditsate Ine.” Koma munthuyo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, choyamba loleni ndipite kuti ndikayike maliro a abambo anga.”
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Yesu anati kwa iye, “Aleke akufa ayikane akufa okhaokha, koma iwe pita ukalalikire ufumu wa Mulungu.”
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
Koma winanso anati, “Ine ndidzakutsatani Ambuye; koma choyamba ndiloleni ndibwerere kuti ndikatsanzikane nalo banja langa.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Munthu amene akulima ndi khasu lokokedwa nʼkumayangʼana mʼmbuyo, si woyenera kugwira ntchito mu ufumu wa Mulungu.”
