Mark 9 (XNJ) · Opened

1Yesu akayendelela kuvajovela, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, vavi vandu vangi penapo yati vifwa lepi changamlola Chapanga ilongosa kwa makakala munjila ndalindali.”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.”

2Pegamaliki magono sita, Yesu avatolili Petili na Yakobo na Yohani vene ndu kuhamba kunani ya chitumbi. Kwenuko Yesu ndi agewiki pamihu palongolo yavi.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.

3Nyula zaki yang'asimi yikavya yamsopi pehe, avi lepi mchapa nyula yeyoha pamulima mweihotola kuganyambisa ngati ago.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Kangi vawuliwa vadatu vala vavawene Eliya na Musa vilongela na Yesu.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Petili akamjovela Yesu, “Muwula wangu, chabwina tete kuvya bahapa. Mbanga tete tijenge vindanda vidatu. Chimonga cha veve na chingi cha Musa na chingi 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.”

6Amanyili lepi chakujova, ndava mwene na vayaki wogohi wavayingili.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Kangi likahumila lihundi likavagubika, na lwami lukayuwanika kuhuma mulihundi mula, “Mwenuyu ndi Mwana mwenimganili, mumyuwanila.”Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Bahapo vawuliwa vala vakalola kuni na kuni, nambu vamuwene lepi mundu yeyoha, nga Yesu pamonga na vene.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Hinu, pavahelelayi kuchitumbi, Yesu akavabesa vakotoka kumjovela mundu mambu gevagaweni mbaka Mwana wa Mundu peiyuka.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.

10Vakakamula malagizu gala, nambu vakatumbula kukotana vene kwa vene, “Kuyuka mana yaki kyani?”So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Kangi vakamkota Yesu, “Ndava kyani Vawula va Malagizu vijova yiganikiwa hoti Eliya abwela?”And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Mwene akavayangula, “Ena, Eliya ibwela hoti kutendelekela kila chindu. Pamonga na ago, ndava kyani yiyandikiwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi kuvya Mwana wa Mundu gakumkolela mang'ahiso neju na kuveveswa?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?

13Nambu nikuvajovela, Eliya amali kubwela, na vene vakamkitili chavaganili ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova kumvala mwene.”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.”

14Lukumbi Yesu na vawuliwa vadatu pavawuyili pandu pevavi vawuliwa vangi vala. Vauweni msambi uvaha wa vandu pamonga na Vawula va Malagizu vijovesana.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Bahapo msambi wa vandu pawamuweni Yesu, vakakangasa neju, vakamjumbalila na kumjambusa.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Yesu akavakota vawuliwa, “Mjovesana nawu kyani?”“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Penapo mundu mmonga mu msambi wa vandu wula akamyangula, “Muwula, nimletili mwana vangu mweavi na mzuka weumkita kuvya ngajova.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Kila peukumkamula ukumgwisa pahi na kumuhumisa lihuluhulu mumlomo, kuni iyaga minu na kuvya myumu higa yoha. Nivayupili vawuliwa vaku vauvinga mzuka wenuwo nambu vahotwili lepi.”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 akavajovela, “Mwe vandu va chiveleku changali sadika! Yati nitama na nyenye mbaka ndali? Nikuvasindimalila hati ndali? Mumleta kwa nene.”“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.”

20Vampeliki msongolo kwa Yesu. Kanyata mzuka wula paumuweni Yesu, wamuhindwisi mwana yula na kumgwisa pahi akabilinduka na kuhuma lihuluhulu mumlomo.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 akamkota dadi wa msongolo yula, “Mambu genaga gampatili ndali?” Akamyangula, “Gatumbwili kuhuma uwana waki.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Lukumbi lungi mzuka uwu ukumgwisa pamotu na mumanji, muni umkomekesa. Hinu ngati uhotola utihengela lipyana na kutitangatila!”“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 akamjovela, “Ukotoka kujova, ‘Ngati nihotola?’ Mambu goha gihotoleka kwa mundu mweisadika.”“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Penapo dadi yula akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Nisadika, nambu sadika yangu yidebe! Nitangatilayi, sadika yangu yiyonjokesa!”Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Yesu pauweni msambi wa vandu wiyonjokeseka kanyata palongolo yaki, akauhakalila mzuka wula, “Mzuka weukumkita mwana kuvya ngayuwa na ngajova, nikulagazila muwukayi mwana uyu kotoka kumyingila kavili!”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.”

26Penapo mzuka wula ukakwesa lwami, ukamgwisa mwana yula pahi na kumuwuka. Mwana awonikini ngati mtuhi, ndi vangi vakajova, “Afwili!”After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Nambu Yesu akamkamula chiwoko, akamyinula namwene akayima.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Hinu Yesu peayingili mu nyumba, vawuliwa vaki vakamkota pachiepela, “Ndava kyani tete tahotwili lepi kuvinga mzuka wula?”After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Mwene akavajovela, “Mzuka ngati wenuwu uhotoleka lepi kuwusiwa ndu, nambu kwa njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga.”Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vakawuka penapo na kuyendelela na lugendu lwavi kuvedukila mulima wa ku Galilaya. Yesu aganili lepi mundu yeyoha amanyayi kweavili,Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31ndava muni avawulayi vawuliwa vaki. Avajovili, “Mwana wa Mundu yati igotolewa kwa vandu vevakumkoma, nambu pa ligono la datu yati iyuka.”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.”

32Nambu vawuliwa vamanyili lepi mana ya mawuliwu gala. Ndi vakayogopa kumkota.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Hinu, vakahika muji wa Kapelanaumu na kuyingila mu nyumba, Yesu akavakota vawuliwa vaki, “Mwajovisini kyani munjila?”Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Nambu vene vakaguna, muni munjila vakalikotana yani mweavi mkulu pagati yavi.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Yesu akatama pahi na kuvakemela vawuliwa kumi na vavili vala, akavajovela, “Mundu akagana kuvya mkulu ndi yikumgana avyai mdebe kavili avyai mtumisi wa voha.”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.”

36Ndi akamtola mwana mdebe akamyimika pagati yavi akamkumbatila kangi akavajovela,Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37“Mweakumpokela mwana ngati uyu ndava ya nene, akunipokela nene, na mweakunipokela nene, akunipokela lepi namwene ndu, nambu akumpokela mewa na yula mweanitumili.”“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.”

38Yohani akamjovela Yesu, “Muwula, tamuweni mundu mmonga ivinga mizuka kwa kuhengela liina lako, tikambesa, muni lepi wa chikundi chitu.”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.”

39Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mkoto kulinga kumbesa, ndava avi lepi mundu mweihenga gachinamtiti kwa liina langu, na bahapo akatumbula kunilongalela gahakau.”“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Ndava mundu mweangapingana na tete avili upandi witu.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakuvapela nyenye chikombi cha manji ga kunywa, ndava nyenye vandu va Kilisitu, chakaka yati ipata njombi yaki.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.

42Ngati mundu yeyoha akumyokesa mmonga wa vadebe ava kuyagisa sadika yaki, ndi mbanga mundu mwenuyo kukungiwa liganga livaha la kuyagila musingu yaki na kutagiwa munyanja kuliku kuhamuliwa na Chapanga.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.

43Na chiwoko chaku ngati chikubudisa sadika yaku, chidumula! Mbanga kuyingila muwumi changali chiwoko chimonga, kuliku kuvya na mawoko gavili, na kuyingila, kumotu wangajimika magono goha.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.

44Hinu mwenumo masomi gifwa lepi, wala motu waki wijimika lepi.Not in the BSB

45Na chigendelu chaku ngati chikakubudisai, chidumula! Mbanga kuyingila muwumi changali chigendelu chimonga kuliku kuvya na magendelu goha gavili na kutagiwa kumotu wangajimika magono goha.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.

46Mwenumo masomi gifwa lepi na motu waki wijimika lepi.Not in the BSB

47Na lihu lako likayagisa sadika yaku litupulai! Ulitaga, mbanga kuyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga na lihu limonga kuliku kuvya na mihu gavili na kutagiwa kumotu wangajimika wa magono goha.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,

48Mwenumo, masomi gaki gifwa lepi na motu waki wijimika lepi.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49“Muni kila mundu yati inyambiswa kwa motu ngati luteta cheyinyambiswa kwa mwinyu.”For everyone will be salted with fire.

50“Mwinyu wabwina, nambu ngati iyagisi lunyong'onyo lwaki, yati iyonjokeswa na kyani?” “Muvya na mwinyu wa unkozi mugati yinu na kusindimalisa na uteke pagati yinu.”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.”
