Mark 9 (IYX) · Opened

1Nde abwileele kwaa bo: «Me ndeeli kwaa beni! Ngwanya, babamosi mu babali nha a bukwa pe, kwahele a umono Ipfumu kia Nziaambi mu uyiri mu lituu.»Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

2Nha mbisi a biluumbu bisamina, Yiisu aholi itwaari na nde Peetero, Yaki na Yowani. Nde wababiti bo bake, ku yulu a mulaanda wu mula. Mu taanga di bo bakitala nde, Yiisu amonii kwaa bo mu ifwaani ki ikimi.After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

3Bikutu bia nde biahembii na pee, na biangeyini kwalaa, kuli ti muutu so mosi pe nha tsini a toto, wu utuu uhembese ikutu pili yii.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Mibili mio miamioolo Mooso na Eliya, miamonii kwaa miyii mio mitata. Bo baboolo bakitsuu na Yiisu.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Peetero abaandii utsuu, na aleeli kwaa Yiisu: «Muyiisi, bubwe bisa-beni dibaanani nha. Dituungani bituru bitata: imosi kia we, imosi kia Mooso, na imosi kia Eliya.»Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6Nde a ayaabi ya uleele pe, mundaa ti bo bali na boomo balaa.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Tumake, tuti layiri na layifuu bo, na ndaa mosi yayuyini kutso tuti. Ndaa yii yaleeli: «Wuunawu ni Mwaana a me wa litoono ndaa, diyuu nde!»Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Itsundu-a-tsundu, miyii bu miatali peembi na peembi, bo bamoni ndila Yiisu nde bake, itwaari na bo.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Bu bo bakisutuu mulaanda, Yiisu wabatumi mu uhele uleele kwaa muutu so mosi mandaa ma bo bamaamono. Bawuru na pii, natee bu Mwaana a muutu usiimbuu mu babakwa.As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10Bo baduki tumini dii, ka bo bafulisini bo na bo mambiindili ma «Usiimbuu mu babakwa».So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Bo bahi Yiisu manduru: «Mu ima bayiisi ba mikele bali mu uleele ti mubili Eliya ufwaana ukwayiri?»And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Nde wabavutili: «Ee-e ni buu, Eliya afwaana ukwayiri mu uvutulu bungeele mu bioosi. Ka mu ima Mabasonuu mali mu uyaabisa ka ti Mwaana a muutu sa amono pasi dialaa, na sa babisi nde?He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

13Ee-e, me ni yaabisa kwaa beni: Eliya amaayiri, na baata bamuyilii mioosi mi batooni. Ni buu, Mabasonuu ma Ngira mayaabisi mu toono a nde.»But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

14Mu taanga di bo batoori nha yali miyii mikimi, bo bamoni koongi a baata yalaa yadiengilili bo, na bayiisi ba Mikele bakitsuu na bo.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Bu koongi yamoni Yiisu, yo yakimii, na baata bayiri mu matiini mu ubii nde.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Yiisu wabafuuli: «Mu ki ndaa dili mu utsuu na bo?»“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Muutu mosi mutso koongi avutili kwaa nde: «Muyiisi, me maabee we mwaana a me wa baala, mundaa ti na muheebili wumubi wuli mu ukwaamisanga nde na ubaakitisanga nde baba.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Taanga dioosi muheebili wuu, ubaakaanganga nde, na ubaabalanga nde nha tsini, pasi mbuu yi nde ubaasa nde. Mwaana li mu upalisa mafuri mu munywa na ukweete mini, na nyutu a nde yimaatilili. Me naloombi kwaa miyii mia we mu ubingi muheebili wuu, ka bo a batuyi pe.»Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

19Yiisu ayaabisi kwa bo: «Kubu yakoono usa imiini mu Nziaambi, natee ki taanga me nafwaana uba na beni? Natee ki taanga me nafwaana ubiti mufunu a beni? Dibee me mwaana.»“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

20Bamubeyi mwaana. Bu muheebili amoni Yiisu, nhaa-na-tsi, nde anyingisi mwaana mu mifuri. Mwaana abwi nha tsi, akiyene akilimini na upalisa mafuri mu munywa.So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21Yiisu afuuli taayi: «Umatuu ki taanga muheebili wuu abaandii mu ukwaamisa nde?» Taayi avutili: «Umatuu bungebe ba nde.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Taanga dialaa muheebili atsinduu nde ku mbaa, so a buu pe, mu maamba mu udusu nde. Ka so we utuu uyiluu ndaa, kwiilili bisi ngebe na yiri baasila bisi!»“It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23Yiisu avutili: «“So we utuu uyiluu ndaa”, bu we leeli. Ka moosi utuu uyilimi kwaa wu usa imiini mu Nziaambi.»“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Nhaa-na-tsi, taayi a mwaana aloyi: «Me siiri imiini, baasila me, mu ndaa ti pasi kwaa me mu usa imiini!»Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Yiisu amoni ti koongi a baata yakukini. Ni mu buu, nde afweengi muheebili wumubi, na aleeli kwaa nde: «Muheebili wuli mu ukitisi baba na ingimagimi, me tumi we mu upala mu mwaana wu, na a bwavutuu mu nde pe!»When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

26Muheebili aloyi mingiri, anyingisi mwaana mu mifuri, na apali mu nde. Mwaana wa baala ali ka weti wakwa, na baata balayi bakileele: «Nde maakwa.»After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Ka Yiisu akaangi nde mu koo, wamutemisi na mwaana atemini.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Bu Yiisu avutii ku nzo, na miyii mia nde bu miali miobake na nde, bo bamufuuli: «Mu ima bisi diakoono ubingi muheebili wuu?»After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Yiisu avutili: «Mu ndila likuundu butuu upalisa muheebili wapili yii.»Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Bu bamati nhaa, bo basiabii itinini kia Ngalili. Yiisu ali a atoono pe ti, muutu so mosi ayaaba mbuu yi bo bali.Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31Mundaa ti, nde ali na nzala ya uyiisi miyii mia nde. Nde aleeli kwaa bo: «Mwaana a muutu sa bayeelele nha mioo mia baata, na bo sa bamudusu. Na nha mbisi a biluumbu bitata, nde sa asiimbuu mu babakwa.»because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

32Ka miyii a miabahili pe mandaa maa, na bo bali na boomo mu ufuulu nde manduru.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Bo batoori ku ngaanda Kapernawumi. Mu taanga di nde ali mutso nzo, Yiisu aheeri miyii mia nde manduru: «Ki toono beni dibeeri asa paa mu kuulu?»Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Ka bo bawuri, mundaa ti, mu kuulu, bo na bo bakiyene ayolo paa bayaaba na mu bo wali wavulu mu bunene.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Ni mu buu Yiisu adiaali, nde ati kuumi na boolo mbili na wabaleeli: «So muutu tooni uba watsiomi, nde afwaana uba watsieelele mu boosi, na ngaamba a boosi.»Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

36Ni mu buu nde aholi imwamwaana, na wamutemisi nha kati a kati a bo. Nde wamunyumbiti na wabaleeli:Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37«Wuu wu uyaka imwamwaana weti kiinaaki, mu kuumbu a me, ni me nde amaayaka. Na wuu wu uyaka me, a me pe nde ayaki, ka wuu watsinduu me.»“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

38Yowani aleeli kwaa Yiisu: «Muyiisi, bisi dimoni muutu mosi li mu ubingi miheebili mimibi mu kuumbu a we. Na bisi diamuleeli, mu unyaala mu ndaa ti nde ali mu kaba la bisi pe.»John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

39Ka Yiisu avutili: «A diamulii pe, ka muutu utuu pe uyiluu imaanga mu kuumbu a me, na nhaa mbisi nhaa, nde leeli ndaa yimbi mu me.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Mundaa ti, wuli a mutaata a bisi pe, li wa bisi.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Na pasi nde wu uha beni mbasa a maamba ma unywa, mundaa ti beni dili ba Kristo, ngwanya me nadileeli, nde a uhelele pe musieende a nde.»Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

42«Pasi nde wu ubwiisi mu masumu, mosi mu bibabaana bibili mu usa imiini mu me, yavulu bubwe kwaa nde bamukutulu limanya li linene mu kiingi, na bamudumunu mu mubu.But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

43So ni mundaa koo kia we, we ubwa mu masumu, kese kio. Mundaa ti, yavulu bubwe kwaa we, mu ukoto mu moonyi wa ngwanya na ndila koo imosi. Uyiluu buu yavulu bubwe, ka a mu uba pe wu ukoto na mioo mioolo ku mbuungulu, ku mbaa yi yihele udimi. [If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

44]Not in the BSB

45So ni mundaa kuulu kia we, we ubwa mu masumu, kese kio. Mundaa ti, yavulu bubwe kwaa we mu ukoto mu moonyi wa ngwanya, na ndila kuulu imosi. Uyiluu buu yavulu bubwe, ka a mu uba pe wu ukoto na miili mioolo ku mbuungulu, ku mbaa yi yihele udimi. [If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

46]Not in the BSB

47Na so ni mundaa lisi la we, we ubwa mu masumu, sootolo lo. Mundaa ti, yavulu bubwe kwaa we mu ukoto mu moonyi wa ngwanya na ndila lisi limosi. Ka a mu uba pe wubudumunu ku mbuungulu na misi mio mia mioolo.And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

48Kuu, “misiobi a mili mu ukwa pe, na mbaa a yili mu udimi pe.”where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49Nziaambi sa anaa mbaa nha yulu a pasi muutu, weti bu baata bali mu usa mungwa mu biloo.»For everyone will be salted with fire.

50«Mungwa iloo ki ibwe! Ka so mungwa helili isie kia nde, buni beni dikaavutulu nde kio? Diba na mungwa mu beni bame, na diba na iyeenge beni na beni.»Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
