< Luke 9 >

1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Yesu walabunganya beshikwiya bakendi ne kubapa ngofu shakufunya mishimu yaipa ne kushilika malwashi.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Lino Yesu walabatuma kuya kukambauka sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa ne kushilika malwashi.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Walabambileti, “Mutanyamunapo cintu nambi cimo mubulwendo bwenu, mutamanta inkoli, mukopa, cakulya, mali nambi byakufwala bibili.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Mwakashika mung'anda moshi bakamutambule cena, mukekale mwepelomo kushikikila busuba mboti mukafume mumushi umo.
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.”
Uko nkweshi bakabule kumutambula, pakufuma mumushi umo, mukalipampe lusuko kumyendo. Ici nicikabe cishibisho kuli endibo.”
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Beshikwiya balenda muminshi yonse, kabaya akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ne kushilika malwashi kuli konse.
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,
Lino mwami Helode, mpwalanyumfwa byonse byalenshika, walapenga mumoyo pakwinga bantu bambi bali kabambeti, “Uyu ni Yohane lapunduku kufuma kubafu.”
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
Bambi bali kabambeti, “Ni Eliya laboneke kayi, nabambi eti, ni umo wa bashinshimi bakulukulu lapunduku kubafu.”
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Helode walambeti, “Yohane ni usa ngondatimbula mutwi, nomba niyani uyu lenshinga bintu ibi mbyondanyumfunga?” Neco wali kayanda kubona Yesu uyo.
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.
Lino mpobabwelela batumwa balamwambila Yesu byonse mbyobalensa. Kufumapo Yesu walaya ne beshikwiya bakendi kuminshi yaku 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.
Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfwa balamukonkela uko nkwalaya. Yesu walabatambula, neku bambila sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa, ne kushilika abo bali kabasuni kwambeti babe cena.
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.”
Lisuba mpolyalikuba pepi kwibila, beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Kamubambilani bantu benga muminshi ne misena ili pepi balangole byakulya ne kwakona pakwinga kuno nikucisuwa.”
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.”
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe mubape byakulya.” Beshikwiya bakumbuleti, “Tukute owa shinkwa usanu ne inswi shibili. Lino sena musuni kwambeti tuye tule byakulya byakwana bantu aba?”
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Palikuba batuloba bonka bakwana 5,000. Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamwambilani bantu bekale mumakoto, likoto lya makumi ali asanu.”
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Beshikwiya balensa mbuli ncobalambilwa.
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.
Yesu walanyamuna shinkwa usanu ne Iswi shibili uto, walalanga kwilu ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona nekupa beshikwiya eti bayabile bantu.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Bantu bonse balalya nekwikuta. Nomba beshikwiya balabwesa byonse byalashalako ku bantu nekwisusha bitundu likumi ne bibili.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Nabumbi busuba Yesu wali kapaila enka, beshikwiya bakendi naboyo balikuba pepi. Lino walabepusheti, “Sena bantu bangi balambangeti ame njame bani?”
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Balo balakumbuleti, “Bambi balambangeti njamwe Yohane mubatishi. Kayi nabambi balambangeti njamwe Eliya. Kayi nabambi eti njamwe umo wabanshinshimi bakulukulu walapunduka kubafu.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba amwe mukute kwambeti ame njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Njamwe Wananikwa wa Lesa.”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Nomba Yesu walakonkomesha beshikwiya kwambeti kabatambila muntu nambi umo makani aya.
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.”
Kayi walambeti, “Mwana Muntu welela kupenshewa ne kukanwa ne bamakulene beshimilumbo ne bamakulene baba Yuda ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo nibakamukane. Nendi naka shinwe, nsombi busuba bwabutatu nakapunduke kubafu.”
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Kufumapo walambila bonseti, “Namuntu layandanga kunkonkela ame, welela kushiya nekusula bintu byonse busuba ne busuba kunyamuna lusanda lwakendi nekunkonkela.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
Pakwinga layandanga kupulusha buyumi bwakendi nakabutaye. Nomba uyo latayanga buyumi bwakendi pacebo ca njame, cakubinga nakabucane.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Nomba cainapo ni cani na muntu laba ne bintu byonse bili mucishi capanshi cino, nendi ubutaya buyumi bwakendi bwancinencine nambi kubononga?
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.
Palico na muntu unyumfwa insoni pacebo ca maswi akame, neye Mwana Muntu nakamunyufwile insoni pakwisa mubulemu bwakendi ne mubulemu bwa Baishi nebwa bangelo bwaswepa.
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.”
Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti mpobali bambi pano beshi bakabule kufwa kabatana babona Bwami bwa Lesa.”
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne atatu Yesu mpwalamba makani aya, walamanta Petulo ne Yohane ne Jemusi walaya pa mulundu kuya kupaila.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Lino mpwalikupaila, ciwa cakendi Yesu calasanduka ne byakufwala byakendi byalabemba tuu.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Popelapo kwalaboneka batuloba babili Mose ne Eliya kabamba ne Yesu.
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Balaboneka mubulemu bwa kwilu kayi kabambilana sha palufu lwa Yesu lwakuya kufwila ku Yelusalemu.
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.
Lino Petulo ne abo mbwalikuba nabo balikuba mutulo. Nomba mpobalapunduka balabona bulemu bwa Yesu ne bantu babili bemana pepi nendiye.
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.
Pacindi mpwalikupansana nabo, Petulo walambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, cileni kwambeti tuli pano katwibaka mishasha itatu, umbi wenu, umbi wa Mose, umbi wa Eliya.” Petulo nkalikwishiba ncali kwamba.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Kacamba, kwalesa likumbi lyabafwekelela. Lino beshikwiya balatina.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Lino mulikumbi umo mwalanyumfwika liswi lya kwambeti, “Uyu emwaname ndalamusala neco mumunyumfwile!”
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.
Lino maswi mpwalacileka kunyufwika, beshikwiya balabona Yesu lashala enka. Neco balamwena tonto, kufuma apo baliya kwambilapo muntu nambi umo mbuli ncobalabona.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Mumene mene Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi batatu balaseluka pa mulundu, nalyo likoto linene lyabantu lyalakumanina ne Yesu.
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.
Popelapo, muntu umbi wamulikoto ilyo walolobesheti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndamusengengeti munyumfwileko inkumbo uyu emwaname enka ngonkute.
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.
Ukute mushimu waipa na ulamwikata ukute kakuwa, kayi ne kunyukuma mpaka ufuma lipofu kumulomo. Kayi nkaukute kumulekapo mpaka umulingapo.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Lino ndanga ndasenge beshikwiya benu eti baufunye, nomba balalilwa.”
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ha! Bantu babula lushomo, mweshikupindimuna miyeyeyo, nomba ninjikale nenu cindi citali econi? Kamumuletani kuno mwana.”
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 uyo mpwalikuya kuli Yesu, mushimu waipa walamuwala panshi ne kumunyukumuna. Nendi Yesu walakalalila mushimu waipa ne kushilika mwana usa. Lino walamubwesha kuli baishi.
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,
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalabona ngofu shinene sha Lesa. Bantu kabacikankamana pa bintu ibyo mbyalensa, Yesu wabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Kamunyumfwishisha makani aya ngoti ndimwambile! ame Mwana Muntu ninkayabwe mumakasa abantu.”
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.
Nsombi balo baliya kwinshiba ncalikwamba pakwinga calikuba casolama nomba baliyawa kwanyumfwishisha. Kayi balatina kumwipusha.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Beshikwiya balatatika kupikishana kwambeti benshibe nomba mukulene niyani pakati pabo.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobali kabayeya mumyoyo, walamanta mwana nekumwikalika kulubasu lwakendi.
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.”
Lino walabambileti, “Muntu uliyense welela kutambula mwana mbuli uyu mulina lyakame, latambulu ame. Muntu uliyense ukute kutambula ame latambulunga uyo walantuma, pakwinga uyo ngomwasula pakati penu emukulene.”
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Lino Yohane walambeti, “Amwe beshikwiyisha, twabona muntu umbi nkafunya mishimu yaipa mulina lyenu, nomba twamukanisha pakwinga nte wa mulikoto lyetu.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Mutamukanisha, pakwinga uyo labulunga kutotekeshana nenjamwe uli kulubasu lwenu.”
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
Lino mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti Yesu enga kwilu, walayeya kuya ku Yelesalemu.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
Walatuma batumwa kuntangu kwakendi abo balaya kuya kwingila mumunshi wa Samaliya kwambeti bamubambile busena.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Bantu ba mumunshi uyo baliyawa kumutambula pakwinga walikaya ku Yelusalemu.
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?”
Lino beshikwiya ba Yesu, Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalabona balambeti, “Mwami, sena nkatwela kwambeti tukuwe mulilo ufume kwilu wise wononge bantu aba?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Yesu walacebuka ne kubakalalila beshikwiya.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
Popelapo bonse balanyamuka balaya kumunshi umbi.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Mpobalikuya munshila, muntu umbi walambila Yesu eti, “Nindimukonkelenga kuli konse nkweshi mwenganga.”
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 walamukumbuleti, “Bamwaba bakute mishima, kayi ne bikeni bikute bisangala, lino Mwana Muntu liyawa pakona.”
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walambila naumbi eti, “Unkokele.” Nsombi nendi muntu uyo walambeti, “Mwami tanshika munsuminishe njenga mbike bata.”
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Leka bafwa babike bafu banabo, nsombi obe koya ukambauke sha Bwami bwa Lesa.”
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.”
Naumbi muntu walambeti, “Nindimukonkele Mwami, lino tanguna nje ndaye kung'anda yakame.”
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 walakumbuleti, “Muntu atatika kulima ne ngombe, kayi nkacebuku kunyuma, Lesa liya nendi incito mu Bwami bwakendi.”
