< Luke 9 >

1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Abasumpi bena ikumi ni bobele bonse mi nicabaha maata ni buyendisi heulu la madimona onse ni kuhoza matuku.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Nabatuma kukawamba inzwi ni kukahoza balwela.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Ni chabawambila nati, “Kanji muhindi chimwi ni chimwi mulwendo lwenu- nanga inkoli, nanga chinkwama, nanga chinkwa, nanga masheleni nanga ingubo zimwi.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Inzubo yonse yete mwinjile, mwikale mwateni kuhitila hete nemuyendele.
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.”
Konse kwete nimuye kobasamutambuli, hamuzwa mweyo intolopo muzukutule isukuko kumatende enu ive vupaki kwinekulyabo.”
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Kuzwaho ni chibanyamuka ni kuyenda muminzi, kuwamba inzwi ni kuhoza konse ko bakaya.
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,
Linu Simwine Heroda ha zuwa zonse zi batendahali, na komokwa, mukuti bamwi bati Johani Mukolobezi ababuki kubafwile,
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
kumwi bati Elija chababoneki, kono bamwi bati zumwi wa bapolofita bentanzi abavuki.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Heroda ni cha wamba, “Johani ye ni banokoli mutwi hape uzo njeni ye ni zuwile zakwe?” Mi ni chalika kubona.
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.
Mi balutwana ha va voola, va wambili Jesu zonse zintu ze va vatendi. Mi ni chavahinda ni kuyenda kungi kuchivaka chilezana kuitolopo isumpwa 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.
Kono chisi ha chizuwa bulyo, nichi chamuichilila. A b batambuli ni kuwamba kuvali ka zamuvuso we Reeza, ni kuhoza ba bakusaka kuhozwa.
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.”
Linu izuba chiliba kuya kuku imina, mi bekumi ni bobele ni chibeza kwali ni chivawamba kuti, “Tumine chisi chiyende kuminzi ituzimbukite ni zivaka zi likungwile ku kaliwanina malalo ni zilyo, kakuti iswe kunu twina muchivaka chi liungwile.”
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.”
Kono ni chawamba kuvali ni cha ti. “Inwe muvahe chimwi chakulya.” Ni chi vati, “Katwina nzinkwa zihitilila zimana iyanza ni nswi zobele - haisi iswe ha tuyenda ku ka ulila bantu bonse aba zilyo.”
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
(Kuola ku va ni vakwame va bena zikiti zikwanisa iyanza.) I ca co ku Balutwani vakwe, “Muvavike bekale muzikwata ziwoola kusika mumakumi a kwanisa iyanza chikwata ni chikwata.”
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Ni chi vachita bulyo, mi ni chi vavika vantu kuikala hansi.
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.
Ni chahinda zinkwa zikwanisa iyanza ni nswi zobele, ni chalola kwiulu, ni ku zitohonolofaza ni kuzi gamona kuzichita tubbali bbali, ni chaha balutwani vakwe kukaha chisi.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Bonse ni chibalya ni kuikuta, mi zivashali ni chizatolwa - ni chikwezula zitanda zivena ikumi ni zobele zatubbali bbali.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Kuvezi vuti Jesu ha va kulapela na li yenke, balutwani vakwe va vena naye. A vavuza, ni cha ti, “Chisi chiti njime eni?”
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Ni chi vetaba, “Johani Mukolobezi. Kono bamwi bati nji Eliya, mi bamwi bati nji zumwi wa bapolofita va kale a vavuki.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Ni cha wamba kuvali, “Kono inwe muti nji me ni?” Pitrosi ni chetava ni chati, “Njiwe Keresite we Ireeza.”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Kono avakalimela chenguzu ku sawambila muntu zumwi,
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.”
kuwamba kuti, “Mwana Muntu u swanera kunyandila zintu zingi ni kukanwa kwa vakulwana va chisi ni basimwine ba maprisita ni bañoli, mi kehaiwe kono mwizuba lya butatu ka vuke.”
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Ni cha wamba kuvali vonse, “Haiva kwina u saka ku ni ichilila, u swanela kulikana i ye mwine ni kuhinda chifapano chakwe mwizuva ni zuva ni ku ni ichilila.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
I ye mwine cha vavalela vuhalo bwakwe mwa vusinyehelwe, kono yo sinyehelwa vuhalo bwakwe chevaka lyangu ka vuhaze.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Bulutu njo vuhi kuti muntu aluwe inkanda yonse kono iye na sinyehelwa kapa na lihaya?
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.
I ye mwine yo ni swavela ni manzwi angu, na ye mwana Ereeza kamuswabile hachakeza mwikanya yakwe, ni mwikanya ye Reeza ni ya mangeloyi achenete,
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.”
Kono ni miwambila cheniti, kwina vamwi vazimene hanu ve te ne vakane kubona ifu pili ne vaseni kubona mubuso we Reeza.”
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Haho kwisule amazuva akwanisa iyanza ni wotatwe kuzwa ha vawambili Jesu ao manzwi, ni chahinda Pitolosi ni Johani ni Jakobo ni chivaya kwilundu ku kalapela,
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Havakwete kulapela, mazimo achifateho chakwe ni cha chincha, mi zizwato zakwe zi vasanduki kutuba.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Mi mulole, bakwame vo vere va va kuwamba na ye, Mushe ni Eliya,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
va vavoneki mwinkanya ibenya. Ba vakuwamba za kuyenda kwake, ku vakusaka kuleta ma maninizo mwa Jerusalema,
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.
Linu Pitrosi ni vavekele naye vava kulele ñozi inkando, kono havavuka ni chi va vona ikanya yakwe ni vakwame vovele va vazimene naye.
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.
Mi havayenda kusiya Jesu, Pitrosi ni chati kwali, “Simwine kuluto kuti tuvekunu. Tu zake zitomba zotatwe, chimwi chichako, chimwi nji cha Mushe mi chimwi chi be cha Eliya” (Kana a vezi cha va kuwamba),
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Ha va kuwamba vulyo, ikope chilyeza ku kubaungula kuvali, mi va batiite ha ve za kuinjila mwikope.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Inzwi li va lizwi mwikope, liti. “U zu nji mwanangu wa mwana-kwame, iye ya vaketwa, muteeke kwali.
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.
Inzwi halimana kuwamba, Jesu ava wana yenke. Ba ba tontoli mi kakwina muntu ye ba bawambili mu mazuva ao chebababoni.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Linu mwizuba li ichilila, ha ba ba kusuka kuzwa helundu, chisi chingi cha musanganya.
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.
Mi hamulole mukwame u zwa muchisi ni cha huweleza, ni chati,
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.
“Muluti, ni kukumbila kulola ku mwanangu wa muswisu, nji mwanangu yenke. ubwene, luhuho luvi lumuyendisa mi haho uhuwa, ni kumumbindanisa ni kumuletela ifulo kumulomo. Umusiya cha bukukutu ni kukukatala.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Ni bakumbili balutwani vako kuti va luzwise kono ba ba kangwi.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Jesu a ba vetabi mi abawambi, “Inwe mubetumelo inini baluzubo lu sazumini, mo ni hinde inako ikuma kuhi na nwe ne ni likwete kwenu? Lete mwanako kunu,
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.
“Mwana havakwiza luhuho lubi lwamuwisikeza hansi mi lwa mumbindanisa. Kono Jesu akalimela luhuho lubi ni kuholisa mwana, ni ku mubozekeza kubesi.
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,
Bonse ba komokwa kwa maata e Ireeza. Ne va komoketwe ku zintu zonse za va chiti, na vcha wamba kwa balutwani vakwe.”
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Musiye ao manzwi e chile mumatwi enu: Chokuti Mwana e Ireeza ka vetekwe ni kuhewa mumayanza a vantu.”
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.
kono kana va va zuwisizi chiwambo echo. zi va kupatelwa a bo, kuti kanji ve zivi intaluso. Mi hape chi va va kutiya kuvuza intaluso ya chiwambo echo.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Linu inkani chi zatanga mukati kavo zakuti njeni mukulwana mukati kabo.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Kono Jesu, alemuha mihupulo yina mwinkulo zabo, ni cha hinda muhwile munini ni kumubika hafuhi naye,
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.”
ni chati kuvali, “Muntu yense yotambula muhwile chezina lyangu, njime yo tambula; mi u tambula ni ya va ni tumi. I ye yense u boneka bunini mukati kenu mwense nji mukando kwenu.”
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Johani chetava, “Simwine tu baboni muntu yo kwete kutanda badimona chezina lyako ni twa mukanisa, chokuti ka yendeleli naswe.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
“Kanji mumukanisi,” Jesu awamba, “chokuti muntu yense ya samilwisi wina kwenu.”
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
Haho mazuva hanze achuta a kutwi atwalwe kwiulu, ni chahupula kulolelela kwa Jerusalema.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
Ni chatumina ñusa kubusu bwakwe, mi chivayenda kumunzi wa Masamaria kukalukisa zintu zonse.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Kono vantu kana ba bamutambuli, kakuli a ba lolete kuya kwa Jerusalema.
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?”
Cwale Balutwani bakwe ba Jokobo ni Jahani ha ba bona bulyo, ni chivawamba kuti, “Simwine, kana u saka kuti tulaele mulilo kuzwa kwiulu ni kubasinya bonse?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Kono a ba chevuka ni kubanyansa
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
mi ni chibayenda kumunzi u mwi.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Ha ba vakuyenda mwinzila, zumwi ni chati kwali, “Ka ni kuicilile konse kwete u ye.”
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.”
Jesu ni chamuitaba. “Basimbwe be na malindi, ni zizuni za kwiulu zina zizumbu, kono Mwana Muntu kena nanga halalika mutwi wakwe.”
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Ni cha wambila muntu zumwi. “Ni icilile,” Kono zo ni chati, “Simwine, pili ni lindile ni ka zike bandanda.”
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Kono ni chawamb kwali, “siye bafwile bazike bafu babo, kono haili iwe, uyende ukawambe inzwi mubule ni bukando ze Impuso ye Ireeza.”
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.”
Zumwi hape ni chati, “Ka ni kuicilile, Simwine, kono pili ni kalaeze ve na munzubo yangu.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Jesu ni cha mwitava ni chati, “Ka kwina ubika iyanza lyakwe kumpilo ni kuchevuka kwisule u swanela Mumpuso ye Ireeza,”
