Mark 9 (YAO) · Opened

1Che Yesu ŵapundile kwasalila, “Isyene ngunsalila, apali ŵandu ŵane papapa chiŵaone Akunnungu achitawalaga ni machili kwa matala gakupisyangana akanaŵe kuwa.”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.”

2Pagapite moŵa nsano ni limo, Che Yesu ŵaajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni Che Yohana, ŵalongene nawo pa chitumbi cheleu pajikape. Kweleko ku meeso ku Che Yesu kwagalawiche paujo pao.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.

3Iwalo yakwe yaliji yeswela mbee yanti mundu jwalijose jwa pachilambo pano ngakupakombola kuswejesya chanti yeleyo.His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Nipele, che Elia ni che Musa ŵakopochele paujo pao ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka ni Che Yesu.And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Che Petulo ŵasalile Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, ikaliji yambone kuti uwe tutame panopano. Tutaŵe masakasa gatatu, limo lyenu ni limo li che Musa ni liine li che Elia.”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.”

6Che Petulo nganachimanya chakuŵecheta pakuŵa wose ŵajogwepe kwannope.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Nipele, lyakopochele liunde ni kwaunichila, liloŵe lyakopochele mu liunde lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu jungunnonyela, mumpilikanile jwelejo.”Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵalolite akuno ni akunokuno, nambo nganambona mundu jwine ikaŵe Che Yesu pe.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Paŵatulukaga pa chitumbi, Che Yesu ŵakanyisye ŵanyawo kuti yele iŵaiweni akansalila mundu jwalijose mpaka Mwana jwa Mundu pachachisyuka.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.

10Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵagakamulichisye maloŵe go, nambo ŵaliji nkuusyana achinsyene pe, “Kusyuka malumbo gakwe chichi?”So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Nipele, ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana kwachichi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo akusala kuti, chaiche kaje Che Elia?”And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, che Elia chaiche kaje kukuŵika chile indu yose. Nambi kwachichi ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti, Mwana jwa Mundu chasauche kwannope ni kukanikwa?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?

13Nambo une ngunsalila, che Elia ŵamasile kwika ni ŵandu ŵampanganyichisye chachilichose chiŵasachile, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti kusala nkati ŵelewo.”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.”

14Che Yesu ni aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵatatu paŵaaichilile ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala, ŵaweni ŵandu ŵajinji ali ŵasyungwile achikanilanaga ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Papopo, ŵandu wose paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵasimosile kwannope, ŵautuchile kukwakomasya.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana nkukanilana nawo ichichi?”“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Mundu jumo mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, nannyichenawo mwanangu kukwenu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka lyalikuntendekasya anakombole kuŵecheta.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Katema kose lisoka palikunjinjila, likungwisya paasi ni likuntendekasya mwanache jo chikopoche chiulo nkang'wa, achichilimyaga meeno ni kukakamala chiilu. Naaŵendile ŵakulijiganya ŵenu alikoposye, nambo ŵalepele.”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.”

19Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mwanya uŵelesi wangali chikulupi! Ana chindame ni ŵanyamwe mpaka chakachi? Chinampililile mpaka chakachi? Munyichisye mwanache jo.”“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.”

20Ŵannyichisye ku Che Yesu. Lisoka palyambweni Che Yesu, papopo lyantasile njilinjili jwanchanda jo, nombe ŵagwile paasi, ŵagalagete akuno alinkukopoka chiulo kukang'wa.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.

21Che Yesu ŵammusisye atatigwe jwanchanda jo, “Jwanchanda ju yatandite chakachi yelei?” Ŵajanjile, “Chitandile wanache wakwe.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Katema kakajinji lisoka lyo lyangwisyaga pa mooto ni mmeesi kuti lyaulaje. Nambo iŵaga nkukombola kutendekanya chachilichose, ntukolele chanasa ni kutukamusya!”“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.”

23Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Kwachichi nkuti, ‘Iŵaga ngukombola’? Yose ikukomboleka kwa mundu jwakukulupilila.”“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Papopo atatigwe jwanchanda jo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngukulupilila! Nambo chikulupi changu chili chamwana, mungamuchisye ngole chikulupi chachikulungwa.”Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Che Yesu paŵaweni kuti ŵandu ŵajinji ali nkusongangana paujo pao, walijamwiche lisoka lila ni kulisalila, “Mmwe lisoka linkulekasya kuŵecheta ni kupilikana, ngunlamula nkopoche mwa jwanchanda ju, ni nkajinjila sooni.”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.”

26Pelepo lisoka lyanyanyisye, lyangwisisye njilinjili jwanchanda jo ni lyankopweche. Jwanchanda jwaoneche mpela jwammwe, ni ŵandu ŵane ŵatite “Awile!”After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Nambo Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono jwanchanda jo, ŵankamwisye ajimuche, nombejo ŵajimi.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Che Yesu paŵajinjile mu nyuumba, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye pajika, “Kwachichi twalepele kulikoposya lisoka lyo?”After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Lisoka lyanti yelei ngalikukopoka kwa litala lyalililyose ikaŵe kwa kwapopelela Akunnungu pe.”Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatyosile peuto pala, ni ŵajendelechele ni ulendo kupitila ku chilambo cha ku Galilaya. Nganasaka mundu jwalijose akumanye kuŵaliji,Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31pakuŵa ŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu chaŵichikwe mmakono mwa ŵandu, nombewo chammbulaje. Nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chiulajikwa pe chasyuche.”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.”

32Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe go, ni ŵajogwepe kumbusya.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Paŵaiche musi wa ku Kapelenaumu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba, nombe Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ana mwitala mula mwakanilanaga ichichi?”Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele, pakuŵa paŵaliji mwitala mula, ŵaliji nkukanilana yankati nduni jwali jwankulungwa mwa ŵanyawo.But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Che Yesu ŵatemi paasi, ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵaasalile, “Mundu jwakusaka kuŵa jwankulu akusachilwa alitulusye ni kuŵa jwannandi ni katumetume jwa wose.”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.”

36Sooni ŵanjigele mwanache ni kunjimika pasikati jao, ŵanjangete ni kwasalila,Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37“Jwalijose jwakumpochela mwanache mpela aju mu liina lyangu, akuumbochela une, ni mundu jwakuumbochela une akwapochela ŵelewo ŵandumile une.”“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.”

38Che Yohana ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, twammweni mundu ali nkugakoposya masoka mu liina lyenu, ni twankanyisye ligongo nganaŵa njetu.”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.”

39Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Kasimunkanya, pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya yakusimonjeka kwa liina lyangu ni papopo kumechetela gangalumbana.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Ligongo mundu jwalijose jwangakutukanila ali pamo ni uwe.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwakumpa ngao wa meesi ga kung'wa, ligongo mwanya ndi ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito, isyene jwelejo chapochele mbote jakwe.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“Mundu jwalijose juchantendekasye jumo jwa achanandi ŵa ŵakungulupilila une atende sambi, ikaliji yambone kwa jwelejo litaŵikwe liganga lyekulungwa lya kusyajila pa lukosi pao ni kwaponya mu bahali kupunda kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu.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.

43Iŵaga nkono wenu ukunneŵasya, mmukate! Mmbaya kwinjila mu umi ni nkono umo, kupunda kuŵa ni makono gaŵili ni kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi.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.

44Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.Not in the BSB

45Ni iŵaga lukongolo lwenu lukunneŵasya, mmukate! Mmbaya kwinjila mu umi ni lukongolo lumo kupunda kuŵa ni makongolo gaŵili ni kuponyekwa ku jehanamu pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi.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.

46Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.Not in the BSB

47Iyoyo peyo iŵaga liso lyenu likunneŵasya, nlikolopole! Mbaya kwinjila ku umwenye wa Akunnungu ni liso limo kupunda kuŵa ni meeso gaŵili ni kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi.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,

48Kweleko mbisu ngasikuwa ni mooto wakwe ngaukusima.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49“Pakuŵa jwalijose chaachiswejeswa ni mooto mpela mbopesi ijikuti pakuswejeswa ni njete.For everyone will be salted with fire.

50“Njete jili jambone, nambo njete jasoyesyaga kulasa kwakwe, chintaje chichi kuti unonye wakwe uujile sooni? “Nkolanje njete ja uganja pasikati jenu, ntamanje mu chitendewele.”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.”
