9
1 Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Nowalongela ukweli, wanhu wayagwe weli hano hawafa bule mbaka wawone Undewa wa Imulungu ukwiza na nguvu.”
Yesu kogaluka
(Matayo 17:1-13; Luka 9:28-36)
2 Vizibitile siku sita, Yesu kamsola Petulo, Yakobo na Yohana, kachola nao waiyeka kulugongo lutali. Viwakalile olola, Yesu kagaluka. 3 Viwalo vake vikala vizelu chuwee, na kuduhu munhu yoyose mwiisi yodaha kuvifuwa viwe vizelu kamba vivo. 4 Baho wanahina waja wadatu wamona Eliya na Musa olonga na Yesu. 5 Petulo kamulongela Yesu, “Mfundiza, vinoga siye tukale hano! Tozenga viheha vidatu, kimoja chako gweye, kimoja cha Musa na kimoja cha Eliya.” 6 Petulo hajuwile cha kulonga kwavija heyo na wayage wakala odumba.
7 Abaho dilawilila wingu na kuwagubika na sauti ilawa mdiwingu, ilonga, “Ino ayo Mwanangu inimnogele. Mumtegeleze!” 8 Bahaja wawegesela kuno na kuno, lakini hawamonile munhu yoyose iyagwe, ila Yesu yaiyeka hamoja nao.
9 Viwakalile ohumuluka kulugongo Yesu kawazuma, “Sikumumulongele munhu yoyose mbuli zino zimone, mbaka Mwana wa Munhu vonda yazilibuke kulawa kwa wafile.”
10 Watogola kija kiwalongeligwe, lakini wasonga kuiuza, “Kuzilibuka kwa wafile, fambulo jake choni?” 11 Wanahina zake wamuuza Yesu, “Habali wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa olonga Eliya kolondigwa yeze tanhu?”
12 Yesu kawedika, “Ona, Eliya kokwiza tanhu, ili yakitande goya kila kinhu. Lakini habali Maandiko Gang'alile golonga kamba Mwana wa Munhu kodununzika ng'hani na kulemigwa? 13 Nowalongeleni, Eliya kamala kwiza na wanhu wamtendela viwalondile, kamba vija Maandiko Gang'alile vigalonga.”
Yesu komuhonya mbwanga yeli na kinyamkela
(Matayo 17:14-21; Luka 9:37-43)
14 Viwawavikile waja wanahina wayagwe, waluwona lunhu lwa wanhu luwazunguluka na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wayagwe wakala oibamilila nao. 15 Bahaja wanhu viwamone Yesu wakanganya ng'hani, wamkimbilila, wamulamusa. 16 Yesu kawauza wanahina zake, “Mweye moibamilila nao choni?”
17 Munhu imoja mna ulunhu lwa wanhu kamwidika, “Mfundiza, nikugalila mwanangu, kana kinyamkela yamfungile mulomo. 18 Kinyamkela ayo yahamwizila, komulagaza hasi na kolawa miholovu mmulomo, kodafuna meno na kunyala lukuli lose. Niwalongela wanahina zako wamulave ikinyamkela, lakini hawadahile bule.”
19 Yesu kawalongela, “Mweye wanhu muleka kutamanila! Ng'hale na mweye mbaka lini? Nogela kitumbe kumgongo mbaka lini? Ngalileni hano imbwanga.” 20 Avo wamgala kwa Yesu.
Bahaja kinyamkela viyamone Yesu, kamgela kisango imbwanga ayo, kagwa hasi, kaibimbilisa, kuno kolava mihovu mmulomo. 21 Yesu kamuuza tata wa imbwanga ayo, “Utamu uno umsonga lini?”
Kamwidika, “Umsonga toka haudodo. 22 Miyanza mingi kinyamkela kamgeza kumkoma kwa kumbwanha muumoto na mgamazi. Tonele bazi na ututaze, kamba wahadaha!”
23 Yesu kamulongela, “Kolonga, kamba wahadaha! Kila kinhu chodahika kwa munhu yotamanila.”
24 Bahaja tata wa imbwanga ija kakemelela, “Notamanila, lakini kutamanila kwangu kudodo. Nhaze nitamanile ng'hani!”
25 Yesu viyaluwone lunhu lowamemela, kamkomhokela kinyamkela ayo, “Gweye kinyamkela wa kuleka kulonga na kuhulika, nokulagiza umulawe mbwanga ino, sikuumwingile kabili!”
26 Kinyamkela kaguta, kambwanha hasi mbwanga ayo, kamulawa. Mbwanga ayo koneka kamba munhu yafile, kila munhu kalonga, “Kafa!” 27 Lakini Yesu kamgoga mkono mbwanga ayo kamtaza kwinuka, nayo kenuka.
28 Yesu viyengile mng'anda, wanahina zake wamuuza kinyelegezi, “Habali siye hatudahile kumulava kinyamkela?”
29 Yesu kawedika, “Kinyamkela kamba ino hadahika kulavigwa kwa nzila yoyose, ila kwa kumpula Imulungu kwiiyeka.”
Yesu kolonga kabili mbuli ya ifa yake
(Matayo 17:22-23; Luka 9:43-45)
30 Yesu na wanahina zake wasegela hanhu aho wachola kubitila isi ya Galilaya. Yesu halondile munhu yoyose yajuwe kuyeli, 31 kwavija kakala kowafundiza wanahina zake. Kawalongela, “Mwana wa Munhu kogeligwa mmakono ga wanhu, nao omkoma na siku da kadatu kozilibuka.”
32 Lakini wanahina zake hawadijuwile fambulo da ulonzi awo na wadumba kumuuza.
Yeli mkulu nani?
(Matayo 18:1-5; Luka 9:46-48)
33 Wavika Kapelinaumu, viwengile mng'anda, Yesu kawauza wanahina zake, “Mukala muibamilila choni mnzila?”
34 Lakini wanahina zake hawamwidike bule, kwavija mnzila wakala oibamilila nani yeli munhu mkulu viweli. 35 Yesu kakala hasi, kawakema wanahina zake longo na wabili, kawalongela, “Munhu yoyose yolonda kuwa wa ichanduso, kolondigwa yawe wa ikimambukizo na yawe msang'hanaji wa wose.” 36 Abaho Yesu kamsola mwana mdodo kamwimiza haulongozi wao, kamuhagatila kawalongela, 37 “Munhu yoyose yombokela mwana mdodo kamba ino kwa twaga jangu, kombokela niye, na munhu yoyose yombokela niye hambokela niye niiyeka vivija kombokela ija yanhumile.”
Munhu yoyose hatulema kaubanzi wetu
(Luka 9:49-50)
38 Yohana kamulongela Yesu, “Mfundiza, tumona munhu imoja kolava vinyamkela kwa twaga jako. Siye tumgomesa kwavija siyo miyetu.”
39 Yesu kawalongela, “Sikumumgomese, kwavija kuduhu munhu yotenda unzonza kwa twaga jangu na kuno kononga vihile. 40 Kwavija munhu yoyose hatulema kaubanzi wetu. 41 Nowalongela ukweli munhu yoyose yowagwaa kikasi cha mazi ga kung'wa kwa twaga jangu kwavija mweye mwa wanhu wa Kilisito kobokela nhunza yake.
Kugezigwa kutenda nzambi
(Matayo 18:6-9; Luka 17:1-2)
42 “Munhu yoyose yomuhonza imoja wa wadodo wano onitogola yatende nzambi, yokuwa vinoga munhu ayo yagodekigwe dibwe kulu da kudugila msingo na yasigwe mbahali. 43 Kamba mkono wako wahakuhonza utende nzambi, ukanhe! Yokuwa vinoga wingile kuna ugima na mkono umoja, kubanza wingile na makono mabili na abaho uchole jehanamu kuna umoto haufaga. 44 Mumo, ‘Funza owaja hawafa bule na umoto uwalukuza haufaga.’ 45 Kamba mgulu wako wahakuhonza utende nzambi, ukanhe! Yokuwa vinoga wingile kuna ugima na mgulu umoja, kubanza wingile na magulu gose mabili na abaho wasigwe jehanamu. 46 Mumo, ‘Funza owaja hawafa bule na umoto uwalukuza haufaga.’ 47 Kamba siso jako dahakuhonza utende nzambi, ding'ole! Yokuwa vinoga wingile Muundewa wa Imulungu na siso dimoja, kubanza wingile na meso gose mabili na abaho wasigwe jehanamu. 48 Mumo, ‘Funza owaja hawafa bule na umoto uwalukuza haufaga.’
49 “Kila munhu kotendigwa yatogoligwe na Imulungu kwa moto kamba vija nhosa viitogoligwa na Imulungu kwa mkele.
50 “Mkele unoga, lakini kamba wahagiza ukali wake, vino kodahaze kuubweza kabili?
“Muwe na mkele mgati yenu na mukale kwa tindiwalo na waenu.”
