Mark 9 (SBS) · Opened

1Imi nacho kuvali; “chavusakusima ni milwirite, kwina vamwi kwenu inwe zimene hanu va sete nivasoole lufu ni vaseni kuvona muvuso wa Ireeza ciukeza ni ziho.”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.”

2Imi mazuva ahinde iyaza nikamwiina hahita, Jesu nahinda Pitolosi, ni Jakobo ni Johani nakaya nabo hewulu lye ruundu, bonke bo bulyo. Linu cha chincha mazimo havusu bwabo.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.

3Zizwato zakwe chiza taanga ku venya, kutuva kuhitiliza, kutuva kuhita zituviso zonze hansi muzi wola kutuvila.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Linu Eliya ni Mushe chiveza kuboneka kuvali, imi vava kuwamba ni Jesu.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Pitorosi chetava nikucho kwa Jesu, “Muruti, kwina neenza hatwina hanu, cwale niha kwina bulyo tuzaake zitoomba zotatwe, chimwiina chako, chimwiina cha Mushe ni chimwiina cha 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.”

6(Mukuti kena avezi choku wamba, mi chivavatiite.)For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Ikope nilyeza ni kuva wumba. Linu liinzwi chilya zwa mwi kope, “Unzu mwanangu wa Muswisu uni suni, muteeke kwaali.Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Haho bulyo, havazoolola, kena vavakusi bwene zumwi yavena navo kwanda Jesu.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Mukuka vusuuka iruundu, nichava laela kusa wambila muntu kazi vavona, hesi Mwana Muntu cha vuswa kuvafu.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.

10Chiva ili bikira indaba mukati kavo, imi nivawambolisana mukati kavo cha “Ku vuuka kuvavuwile” chi iwola kutoloka.So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Chiva muvuuza “Chizi vañoli hava chokuti Eliya uswanela kwiza lwentanzi?”And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Chacho kuvali, Eliya initi ukeza lwentaanzi kukuvoza zintu sonnse neenza. “Linu chinzi haku ñoletwe kuti Mwana Muuntu mwa sukuluke muzintu zingi nikuhindwa uvu kena chimwi?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?

13Kono nimilwira kuti Eliya chavakezi, mi vavapangi zonse zivava kusaka kwali, sina mañoli mu awamila ku amana naye.”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.”

14Imi havakabola kuvarutwana, ni vona chinavuungi chiva zimbulukitwe ni vañoli vava ku kunana navo.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Imi hava muvona, chinavuungi chiva komokwa niku tilila kwali ku mulumelisa.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Navuuza varutwana, “Chinzi chi mukwete ku kanana navo.“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Zumwi mu chinavuungi namu mwitava. “Muruti, naleta mwanangu waswinsu kwako. Wina luhuho lumukanisa kuwamba,Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18lumu hindeka, niku mudanseeka hansi nikuzwisa ifulo kumulomo, ni kusuma meeno akwe niku zuminina mubili. Na kumbira varutwai vako kulu zwisa kono vakangwa.”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.”

19Navetava, “masika asa zumini, muku hinde inako ikuma kuhi ninikele nawe? Kanive nanwe inako ikumahi? Mumu lete kwangu.”“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.”

20Ni valeta muswisu kwali. imi luhuho haluvona Jesu, hohwaho chilwa kumu nyunga ni kumuwisa hansi. Muswisu nawila hansi niku zwa ifulo kumulomo.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.

21Jesu cha vuza vesi wa muswisu, “Kuzwa lili nena vuti?” Vesi chivati, “kuzwa vunini bwake.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Lumu wisikizanga hamulilo kamba mu menzi ni kusaka kumusinya. Heva uwola kuchita cimwi, tufwire nse nikutu tusa.”“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.”

23Jesu chati kwali, “'Heva uwola'? Zose zintu ziwoleka kozuna yo zumina.'”“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24“Hohwaho insi wa muhwile chahuwa nikucho kuti, “Ni zumina! Tuse kusa zumina kwangu!”Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Jesu havona cinavuungi nichi tilile kuvali, cha kalimela luhuho zisa jololi nati: “Iwe luhuho lokusa wamba nikusazuwa, niku laela, uzwe kwali, kanji novoleli kumwinjila.”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.”

26Chilwa lila ahulu nikunyunga muswisu ni kukumusiya. Muswisu navonahala ubu sakayofwiile, nji kuti vuungi nivwati “U fwiile.”After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Kono Jesu chamuwonda kwiyaza niku muzimanika mwiwulu, imi muswisu chazimana mwiwulu.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Hacheza kwinjira muzuvo, varutwana vakwe ni vamuvuza kumbali, “Chinzi iswe hatusana twawola kuzizwisa?”After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Nacho kuvali, “Zina vuti kaziwoli kuzwiswa mbwita chentapelo.”Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Chiva kazwako ni kuhita cha Galileya. Kana avakusaka niumwina kwiziva kubena,Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31kakuti avakuruta varutwana vakwe: Nacho kuvali, “Mwana Muntu mwahewe mumanza avaantu, imi muvamwihaye. Imi chinivamwihaya, chikwahita mazuva wo tatwe ka vuuke.”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.”

32Kono kana vavazuwisisi iyi indava, imi vavatite kumuvuuza.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Ni chibeza kwa Kapanauma. imi havena munzuvo chava vuza, “Saka muka wambolanzi mu nzila?”Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Kono vava totwere. Mukuti vava kukavulikananisa munzila za kucho njeni mukulwana.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Nekala hansi nikusupa venekumi ni vovere hawiina, ni kucho kuvali, “Yosaka kuva wentanzi, ave wamamanimani kuvonse ni kuva muhikaana wavonse.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.”

36Chahinda muhwirezana ni ku muvika mukati kavo. namubika hamavoko akwe nikucho kuvali,Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37“Yese yo tambula muhwire winavuti mwizina lyangu, name uni tambula, imi heva umwi unitambula, katambuli ime memeena, kono ni yavanitumi.”“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.”

38Johani nati kwali, “Muruti, tuva voni umwi yo zwisa madimona mwizina lyako nitwa muziimika, mukuti katwi chilili.”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.”

39Imi Jesu chati, “Kanji mumu ziimiki, kakuti kakwina yete natende mutendo mukando mwizina lyangu ni kuzwahateni kusanduka kuwamba chintu chivilala changu.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Yense yasa tulwisi nji wetu.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Yese yo kuha inkomoki ya mezi akunywa kakuti uwila kwa Keresite, chovusakusima niti kwenu, kete naluze mupuzo wakwe.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.

42Yense yetena letele umwi wava vahwilezana vazumina kwangu kuti awe, uyelele kusungwa ivwe ikando ni kusohelwa mwiwate.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.

43Chi kuti iyaza lyako likuretera kuwa, linokole kwateni. Kulotu kwako kuwana vuhalo vusamaani, kuhita kuba ni mayaza ovele ni kuke njila mulihele, mumulilo usa zimiswa.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.

44Musafwi isene ni mulilo usazimiswa.Not in the BSB

45Heva itende lyako likuletiseza kuwa, linokole kwateni. Kukuyelele kwinjila mubuhalo nochunkuta, kuhita kuva ni matende ovele ni kuka sohelwa mulihele.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.

46Mu safwii isene mi nimulilo usa zimiswa.Not in the BSB

47Heva liinso lyako li kuletela kuti uwe, li nongomone mwateni. Kuku yelele kwinjira mwipuso ya Ireeza ni liso limwiina, kuhita kuke njira mulihere ni meeso overe.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,

48Uko masene avo kaafwi, ni mulilo usa zimiswa.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49Mukuti umwi no umwi mwa luungwe sautu ni mulilo.For everyone will be salted with fire.

50Isautu ilotu, kono heva isautu chilwa sampuka, uwoola vule kuli tenda isautu hape? Muve mwisautu mukati kenu, imi muve ni nkoozo niva mwenu.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.”
