Mark 9 (MKW) · Opened

1Yesu zabisaka dyaka bawu: «Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno, bantu ya nkaka yina kele awa ke kufwa ve tii ntangu bawu ke tala Kimfumu ya Nzambi yina ke kwiza na lulendo.»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.”

2Na manima ya bilumbu sambanu, Yesu bakaka Pyele, Zaki, mpe Yowane. Yandi nataka bawu na zulu ya mongo ya yinda kisika yina bawu vwandaka kaka bawu mosi. Na ntwala ya bawu, Yesu sobaka kifwani ya yandi.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.

3Binkuti ya yandi lezimaka mpe kumaka mpembe ya kulutila. Ata muntu na ntoto ya muvimba lendaka kumisa kinkuti mpembe ya mutindu yina.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Na mpamukunu, bilandi tatu talaka Eli mpe Moyize yina vwandaka zonza na Yesu.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Na yina, Pyele tubaka na Yesu: «Mfumu, ya kele mbote ti beto vwanda awa. Beto ke yidika bayinzo tatu ya lele: yinzo mosi ke vwanda ya nge, ya nkaka ke vwanda ya Moyize, mpe ya nkaka dyaka ya Eli.»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.”

6Ya tsyelika, Pyele vwandaka zaba ve yinki yandi ke tuba samu ti bilandi nyonso tatu vwandaka na boma mingi.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Na mpamukunu, dituti kwizaka mpe fukaka bawu. Ndinga wakanaka na kati ya dituti, mpe tubaka: «Yandi yayi, ni Mwana ya munu yina mu ke zolaka mingi. Beno kuwa yandi!»Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Kaka na ntangu yina, bilandi talaka na bisika nyonso. Kasi bawu talaka dyaka ve muntu ya nkaka. Bawu talaka kaka Yesu yina vwandaka kintwadi na bawu.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Ntangu bawu vwandaka kulumuka mongo, Yesu yiminaka bawu na kuzabisa na bantu mambu yina bawu talaka tii ntangu Mwana ya Muntu ke vumbuka na lufwa.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.

10Bawu tumamaka na mambu yina yandi zabisaka bawu. Kasi bawu vwandaka yufula bawu na bawu: «Yinki zola kutuba kuvumbuka na lufwa?»So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Na manima, bilandi yufulaka Yesu: «Samu na yinki milongisi ya Misiku ke tubaka ti Eli fwana kukwiza ntete?»And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Yesu vutulaka: «Ya tsyelika, Eli fwana kukwiza ntete samu na kusungika mambu nyonso. Kasi samu na yinki ba sonikaka ti Mwana ya Muntu ke tala mpasi mingi, mpe ba ke nyokola yandi?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?

13Kasi mu ke na kuzabisa beno ti Eli kwizaka yimeni, mpe bantu salaka yandi mambu nyonso yina bawu zolaka mutindu yawu kele ya kusonama na Dibuku ya Nzambi samu na yandi.»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.”

14Ntangu bawu kumaka na kisika yina vwandaka bilandi ya nkaka, bawu talaka nkonga ya nene ya bantu yina zungaka bilandi yina, mpe milongisi ya Misiku yina vwandaka solola na bawu.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Ntangu bantu talaka Yesu, bawu yitukaka mingi, mpe bawu kimaka na sika ya yandi samu na kupesa yandi mbote.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Yesu yufulaka bilandi ya yandi: «Wapi mambu beno ke na kusolola na bawu?»“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Muntu mosi na kati ya nkonga vutulaka: «Mfumu, mu me natina nge mwana ya munu. Yandi kele na mpeve ya yimbi yina ke na kukumisa yandi dibaba.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Mpeve ya yimbi yina ke kwamisaka yandi kisika ni kisika, mpe ke losaka yandi na ntoto. Yandi ke basisaka mafulu na yinwa, ke kwetisaka meno, mpe nzutu ya yandi ke kumaka ngolo. Mu me lomba bilandi ya nge na kubingisa mpeve yango, kasi bawu me lenda ve.»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.”

19Yesu tubaka: «Beno bantu ya ntangu yayi! Beno kele bantu yina kele ve na kiminu! Tii wapi ntangu mu ke vwanda kaka na beno? Tii wapi ntangu mu ke vibidila beno? Beno nata yandi awa.»“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.”

20Na yina, bawu natinaka yandi mwana yango. Ntangu mpeve ya yimbi talaka Yesu, yawu ningisaka mwana na ngolo nyonso, mpe mwana kubwaka na ntoto. Mwana vwandaka vindumuka, mpe mafulu vwandaka basika yandi na yinwa.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.

21Yesu yufulaka tata ya mwana yina: «Ya me kuma bamvula yikwa yawu ke kwamisaka yandi?» Tata vutulaka: «Yawu ke kwamisaka yandi katuka bumwana ya yandi.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Konso ntangu, mpeve ya yimbi ke losaka yandi na tiya to na maza samu na kufwa yandi. Kana nge lenda kusala kima, sadisa beto mpe tala beto kyadi.»“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.”

23Yesu vutulaka: «Nge me tuba ti kana mu lenda kusala kima. Kasi zaba ti mambu nyonso ke salamaka na muntu yina ke kwikilaka.»“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Kaka na ntangu yina, tata ya mwana lookaka: «Mu ke na kukwikila. Sadisa munu samu ti mu kele muntu ya kiminu ya fyoti.»Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Ntangu Yesu talaka ti nkonga ya bantu vwandaka kwiza mbangu kisika yina bawu vwandaka, yandi tumisaka mpeve ya yimbi na ngolo, mpe tubaka: «Mpeve yina ke kufwaka makutu mpe ke kangaka ndinga, basika na nzutu ya mwana yayi, mpe kuvutuka dyaka ve.»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.”

26Mpeve ya yimbi lookaka, ningisaka mwana na ngolo nyonso, mpe basikaka. Mwana kumaka mutindu muntu ya kufwa, mpe bantu mingi vwandaka tuba ti yandi me kufwa.After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Kasi Yesu simbaka mwana na diboko. Yandi telemisaka mwana, mpe mwana telamaka.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Ntangu Yesu vutukaka na yinzo, bilandi yufulaka yandi na kisika ya bawu mosi: «Samu na yinki beto me lenda ve na kubingisa mpeve yina?»After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Yesu vutulaka: «Kaka na lusambulu beno lenda kubingisa mpeve ya mutindu yina.»Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Bawu katukaka kuna mpe sabukaka Ngalili. Yesu zolaka ve ti bantu kuzaba kisika yandi vwandaka.Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31Yandi vwandaka longisa bilandi ya yandi mutindu yayi: «Ba ke yekula Mwana ya Muntu na maboko ya bantu. Ba ke kufwa yandi, mpe na kilumbu ya tatu, yandi ke vumbuka na lufwa.»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.”

32Kasi bilandi bakulaka ve mambu yina, mpe bawu vwandaka na boma ya kuyufula yandi.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Yesu na bilandi ya yandi kwendaka na mbanza Kapenawume. Ntangu bawu kumaka na yinzo, Yesu yufulaka bawu: «Wapi mambu beno vwandaka solola na nzila?»Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Kasi bawu vutulaka ve mvutu, samu ti na nzila bawu vwandaka solola bawu na bawu samu na kuzaba nani me lutila mfunu na kati ya bawu.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Na yina, Yesu kwendaka vwanda. Yandi bokilaka bilandi kumi na zole, mpe zabisaka bawu: «Muntu yina zola kuvwanda muntu ya ntete, fwana kuvwanda muntu ya nsuka mpe kisadi ya bantu nyonso.»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.”

36Na manima, Yesu bakaka mwana ya fyoti mpe tulaka yandi na kati-kati ya bawu. Yandi tulaka yandi na kati ya maboko ya yandi, mpe tubaka:Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37«Muntu yina ke yamba mwana ya fyoti ya mutindu yayi na Nkumbu ya munu, ke yamba munu mosi. Na yina, muntu yina ke yamba munu, ke yamba munu ve, kasi yandi ke yamba muntu yina fidisaka munu.»“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.”

38Yowane tubilaka yandi: «Mfumu, beto talaka muntu yina vwandaka bingisa bampeve ya yimbi na Nkumbu ya nge. Beto zolaka yimina yandi na kusala yawu samu ti yandi kele ve na kati ya nkonga ya beto yina ke na kulanda nge.»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.”

39Kasi Yesu vutulaka: «Beno yimina yandi ve, samu ti ata muntu lenda kusala kimangu na Nkumbu ya munu, mpe na manima yandi tonga munu.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Muntu yina ke yinaka beno ve, kele nkundi ya beno.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno: Konso muntu yina ke pesa beno kopo ya maza samu ti beno kele bantu ya Klisto, ke kondwa ve na kuzwa musendo ya yandi.»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«Kana muntu bwisa na disumu mwana mosi na kati ya bana ya fyoti yayi ke na kukwikila na munu, ya me lunga ti ba kanga yandi ditadi ya nene na laka, mpe ba losa yandi na 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.

43Kana diboko ya nge ke na kubwisa nge na masumu, zenga yawu. Ya me lutila mbote na nge na kukota na kisika ya luzingu ya tsyelika na diboko mosi. Kana ve, ba ke losa nge na maboko nyonso zole na mbungulu, na kati ya tiya yina ke kufwa ve. [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.

44Kuna, bantunga yina ke kudyaka nzutu ke kufwaka ve, mpe tiya ke kufwaka ve.]Not in the BSB

45Kana dikulu ya nge ke na kubwisa nge na masumu, zenga yawu. Ya me lutila mbote na nge na kukota na kisika ya luzingu ya tsyelika na dikulu mosi. Kana ve, ba ke losa nge na makulu nyonso zole na mbungulu. [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.

46Kuna, bantunga yina ke kudyaka nzutu ke kufwaka ve, mpe tiya ke kufwaka ve.]Not in the BSB

47Kana disu ya nge ke na kubwisa nge na masumu, katula yawu. Ya me lutila mbote na nge na kukota na Kimfumu ya Nzambi na disu mosi. Kana ve, ba ke losa nge na meso nyonso zole na mbungulu.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,

48Kuna, bantunga yina ke kudyaka nzutu ke kufwaka ve, mpe tiya ke kufwaka ve.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49«Ya tsyelika, ba ke bongisa bantu nyonso na tiya, mutindu ba ke bongisaka madya na mungwa.For everyone will be salted with fire.

50Mungwa kele kima ya mbote. Kana mungwa ke dyaka ve na luwu, na yinki beno lenda kuvutula yawu luwu? Beno vwanda mutindu mungwa na kati ya beno, mpe beno zinga na kizunu beno na beno.»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.”
