Luka 9
1 Yesu akavakemela vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili pamonga akavapela makakala na uhotola panani ya mizuka yoha na kulamisa matamu.
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.
2 Kangi akavatuma vahamba vakakokosa Unkosi wa Chapanga na kulamisa vatamu.
He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Akavajovela, “Mkotoka kutola chindu chochoha chila mulugendu lwinu ngati ndonga amala lihaku amala chakulya amala mashonga amala kuvya na magwanda gavili pagati yinu.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no wallet, no bread, no money, and no extra tunic.
4 Nyumba yeyoha yemwiyingila na vavapokili mutama penapo mbaka pemwiwuka pamuji wenuwo,
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.
5 Na vandu ngati vabelili kuvapokela, muwukayi pamuji wenuwo, na pemwiwuka muvakung'undila lububu lwa mumagendelu ginu kuvalangisa kuvya vene vahagwili kubela ujumbi wa Chapanga.”
Wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 Vawuliwa vakawuka penapo, vakahamba muhijiji na kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la bwina na kuvalamisa vandu vana matamu.
Then they departed and went through the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
7 Hinu, nkosi Helodi peayuwini mambu goha gegahengiki, akavagaya ndava muni vandu vajovayi, “Yohani Mbatizaji ayukili!”
Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 Vangi vakajova Eliya ahumalili na vangi vakajova mwenuyu mmonga wavi vamlota va Chapanga va kadeni vawuyili pamulima.
and others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
9 Nambu Helodi akajova, “Ngati Yohani namdumwili mutu, hinu yani mwenuyu mweniyuwana malovi gaki?” Akanogela kumlola.
Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who is this about whom I hear such things?” And so he tried to see him.
10 Vamitumi vala pavawuyili vakamjovela Yesu goha gavahengili. Yesu akavatola vene, akahamba nawu kuchiyepela kumuji wavaukemela Betisaida.
When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him, and they went away privately to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Nambu msambi wa vandu pawamanyili kwa ahambili Yesu vakamlanda. Yesu avapokili, akavajovela malovi ga Unkosi wa Chapanga na kuvalamisa vandu voha vevavi na matamu vakalama.
But when the crowds heard about this, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Lilanga palatumbula kutipama, vawuliwa kumi na vavili vala vakamjovela, “Valagayi vandu vahamba muhijiji na mumigunda ya papipi vakajilondela vyakulya na pandu pa kugona muni petivii palugangatu.”
Now the day was about to come to an end, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in an isolated place.”
13 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Muvapelayi nyenye chindu chakulya.” Vakamyangula. “Tete tivii na mabumunda mhanu na somba zivili ndu. Manya tihamba tikavagulila vyakulya msambi uwu woha.”
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Muni vavi vagosi, ngati elufu mhanu. Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Muvajovela vandu vatamayi hikundi ya vandu ngati hamsini hamsini.”
(There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Vawuliwa vakakita ngati cha avajovili, vakavatamisa voha.
So they did this, and made the people sit down.
16 Yesu akatola mabumunda mhanu na somba zivili zila, akalola kunani, akayimotisa, akayinukula akavapela vawuliwa vaki vavagavanisila vandu.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them into pieces, and he gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Vandu voha valili na kuyukuta. Ndi vakanonga na kumemesa madengu kumi na gavili ga hipandi yeyisigalili.
They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18 Ligono limonga Yesu ayupayi kwa Chapanga mwene ndu, na vawuliwa vaki vavi papipi. Ndi, akavakota, “Vandu vijova kuvya nene ndi nayani?”
It came about while Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples were with him. He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19 Vene vakamyangula, “Vangi vijova veve Yohani Mbatizaji na vangi vijova Eliya na vangi vijova wa mmonga wa vamlota va Chapanga va kadeni mweayukili.”
They answered, “John the Baptist. But others say Elijah, and others say that one of the prophets from long ago has risen.”
20 Penapo Yesu akavakota, “Nambu nyenye mwijova kuvya nene ndi yani?” Petili akamyangula, “Veve ndi Kilisitu Msangula mwauhumili kwa Chapanga.”
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Kangi Yesu akavalagiza na kuvabesa vakotokayi kumjovela mundu yoyoha yula genago.
But he strongly warned them to tell this to no one,
22 Mewa akavajovela, “Mwana wa Mundu iganikiwa kung'ahika neju na kubelelewa na vagogo na Vakulu va Kuteta na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na kukomewa na muligono la datu yati iyuka.”
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he will be killed and on the third day be raised.”
23 Ndi akavajovela vandu voha, “Mundu yoyoha yula mweigana kunilanda na ajibelayi hoti mwene agega msalaba waki magono goha anilandayi.
Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 Muni mundu mweigana kuugombola wumi waki yati awuyagisa na yoyoha mweauyagisa wumi waki kwa kunilanda nene yati akuusangula.
Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25 Ngati mundu apatili vindu vyoha pamulima apa kuni iyagisa amala kujikomakesa mwene wumi waki, mundu mwenuyo apatili chindu kiki chabwina?
What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit himself?
26 Ndava muni mundu yeyoha yula ngati ikola soni kwa nene na mawuliwu gangu, Mwana wa Mundu, yati ikola soni kwa mundu mwenuyo peibwelayi muukulu waki na wa Dadi waki na mitumu va msopi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Chakaka nikuvajovela, vavi vandu vangi penapa yati vifwa lepi changaulola Unkosi wa Chapanga.”
But I say to you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Magono nane kuhuma Yesu peavajovili malovi genago, ndi Yesu akavatola Petili na Yohani na Yakobo kuhamba nawu kuchitumbi kumuyupa kwa Chapanga.
Now about eight days after Jesus said these words, he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Peavili mukuyupa Chapanga, ulolekanu wa pamihu paki pang'anamwiki na nyula zaki zikavya zamsopi na kung'asima neju.
As he was praying, the form of his face was changed, and his clothes became brilliant white.
30 Bahapo vandu vavili vawonikini kulongela nayu, vandu vene vavi Musa na Eliya,
Behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 vahumili muukulu, ndi valongela nayu ndava ya lifwa laki, na kukita lihengu lelimalikisila ku Yelusalemu.
who appeared in glorious splendor. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to completion in Jerusalem.
32 Petili na vayaki vavi mulugono tipi tipi, nambu pavayimwiki vauwene ukulu wa Yesu, vavawene na vandu veayimili nawu vala.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33 Pavamlekili, Petili akamjovela Yesu, “Bambu, nilola chabwina tete kutama bahapa! Hinu tijengi tundanda tudatu, chimonga chaku na chingi cha Musa na chingi cha Eliya.” Chakaka mwene nakumanya chavamjovili.
As they were going away from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 Petili peajovayi ago, bahapo lihundi likahumila na kuvahulukila ndi lihundi palavahulukili vene vavi na wogohi neju.
As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Lwami lukayuwanika mulihundi mula. “Mwenuyu ndi Mwana vangu mwenimuhagwili, mumyuwanila.”
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one who is chosen; listen to him.”
36 Lwami lula Palwayuwanika, Yesu awonakini avi mwene. Vawuliwa vaki vakavya nuu mu mambu genago na lukumbi lwenulo kawaka mundu mwavamjovili. Gevagaweni.
When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37 Chilau yaki Yesu pamonga na vawuliwa vadatu vala vahelelayi kuhuma kuchitumbi kula, vakakonganeka na msambi wa vandu.
Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38 Penapo mundu mmonga akamkemela na kujova, “Muwula! Chondi mhengela lipyana mwana vangu, muni avili ngayuyu mwene!
Behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 Yuwanila mzuka ukumzangila, na bahapo liywanga, kuni litovesa ligoji na lihuluhulu lihuma mumlomo, na likumung'aisa palukumbi lutali changamleka.
You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.
40 Navayupili vawuliwa vaku vauvinga mzuka wula, nambu nakuhotola.”
I begged your disciples to force it out, but they could not.”
41 Yesu akayangula, akajova, “Nyenye chiveleku changasadika, na chechiyagili, yati nitama na nyenye na kuvasindimalila mbaka ndali?” Ndi akamjovela mkolo mwana yula, “Mleta mwana waku apa.”
Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Mwana yula peambwelili Yesu, mzuka ukamgwisa pahi na kumsopa ligoji. Nambu Yesu akauhakalila mzuka wula na kumlamisa mwana yula, akampela dadi waki.
While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Vandu voha vakakangasa makakala gakulu ga Chapanga. Vandu pavavi vakona vikangasa ndava ya mambu geagahengili, Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki,
Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 “Muyuwanila bwina malovi aga, Mwana wa Mundu ihamba kusopiwa mumawoko ga vandu.”
“Let these words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 Nambu vawuliwa vaki vavi nakugamanya malovi gaavajovili muni malovi gala gafiyiki kwavi ndava vakotoka kugamanya. Na vene vavi na wogohi kumkota mana ya malovi ago.
But they did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.
46 Vawuliwa va Yesu vakatumbula kukotana veve kwa veve, yani mkulu kuliku voha.
Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.
47 Yesu amanyili maholo ga mumitima yavi, ndi akamtola mwana mng'enya, akamuvika papipi yaki,
But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side
48 na akavajovela, “Mundu mweakumpokela mwana mdebe uyu kwa liina langu, mwenuyo akunipokela nene, na mundu yeyoha yula mweakunipokela nene, akumpokela mweanitumili. Muni mundu mweavi mdebe pagati yinu, ndi mkulu.”
and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is great.”
49 Yohani akamjovela Yesu, “Bambu, tikamuweni mundu ivinga mizuka kwa liina laku na tete talingili kumbesa ndava mwene alongosini lepi na tete.”
John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”
50 Yesu akavajovela, “Mkotoka kulinga kumbesa, ndava yeyoha mwangatovana na nyenye avi upandi winu.”
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
51 Lukumbi lwa Yesu palwahegalili lwa kutoliwa kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi Yesu akagana neju kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Na, avatumili vajumbi vamulongolela, vakayingila muchijiji chimonga cha Vasamaliya ndava ya kumtendelekeha bwina kila chindu.
He sent messengers on ahead of him, and they went and entered into a Samaritan village to prepare everything for him.
53 Nambu vakolo njinji va penapo nakugana kumpokela Yesu ndava vamanyili ngati Yesu aganili kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
But the people there did not welcome him, because he had set his face to go to Jerusalem.
54 Lukumbi vawuliwa vaki vakina Yohani na Yakobo pavaloli genago, vakajova, “Bambu ugana tilagizayi motu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga luvatinyisayi?”
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them?”
55 Nambu Yesu akavang'anamukila, akavahakalila.
But he turned and rebuked them,
56 Kangi Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vakahamba kuchijiji chingi.
and they went on to another village.
57 Pavagendayi munjila, mundu mmonga akamjovela Yesu, “Yati nikulanda kokoha kula kwewihamba.”
As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Yesu akamjovela, “Mahogo gana mbugu za kugona na videge vina chisakanilu nambu mwana wa Mundu avi lepi na pandu pakupumulila.”
Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 Yesu akamjovela mundu yungi, “Nilandayi.” Nambu mundu yula akamyangula, “Bambu, nileka hoti nihamba nikamuzika dadi wangu.”
Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Nambu Yesu akamyangula, “Valeka vevafwili vavazikayi vevafwili vavi, nambu veve uhamba ukakokosa Unkosi wa Chapanga.”
But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim far and wide the kingdom of God.”
61 Na mundu yungi akamjovela, “Bambu yati nikukulanda, nambu nikuyupa nikavalaga hoti vandu va kunyumba yangu.”
Then someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those in my home.”
62 Nambu Yesu akamyangula, “Mundu yeyoha mweikamula ligela kutumbula kulima kuni ilolokesa mumbele, mwenuyo nakuganikiwa muunkosi wa Chapanga.”
Jesus replied to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
