1 Yesu walabunganya beshikwiya bakendi ne kubapa ngofu shakufunya mishimu yaipa ne kushilika malwashi. 2 Lino Yesu walabatuma kuya kukambauka sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa ne kushilika malwashi. 3 Walabambileti, “Mutanyamunapo cintu nambi cimo mubulwendo bwenu, mutamanta inkoli, mukopa, cakulya, mali nambi byakufwala bibili. 4 Mwakashika mung'anda moshi bakamutambule cena, mukekale mwepelomo kushikikila busuba mboti mukafume mumushi umo. 5 Uko nkweshi bakabule kumutambula, pakufuma mumushi umo, mukalipampe lusuko kumyendo. Ici nicikabe cishibisho kuli endibo.” 6 Beshikwiya balenda muminshi yonse, kabaya akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ne kushilika malwashi kuli konse.

7 Lino mwami Helode, mpwalanyumfwa byonse byalenshika, walapenga mumoyo pakwinga bantu bambi bali kabambeti, “Uyu ni Yohane lapunduku kufuma kubafu.” 8 Bambi bali kabambeti, “Ni Eliya laboneke kayi, nabambi eti, ni umo wa bashinshimi bakulukulu lapunduku kubafu.” 9 Helode walambeti, “Yohane ni usa ngondatimbula mutwi, nomba niyani uyu lenshinga bintu ibi mbyondanyumfunga?” Neco wali kayanda kubona Yesu uyo.

10 Lino mpobabwelela batumwa balamwambila Yesu byonse mbyobalensa. Kufumapo Yesu walaya ne beshikwiya bakendi kuminshi yaku Betisaida. 11 Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfwa balamukonkela uko nkwalaya. Yesu walabatambula, neku bambila sha Bwami bwakendi Lesa, ne kushilika abo bali kabasuni kwambeti babe cena.

12 Lisuba mpolyalikuba pepi kwibila, beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Kamubambilani bantu benga muminshi ne misena ili pepi balangole byakulya ne kwakona pakwinga kuno nikucisuwa.”

13 Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe mubape byakulya.” Beshikwiya bakumbuleti, “Tukute owa shinkwa usanu ne inswi shibili. Lino sena musuni kwambeti tuye tule byakulya byakwana bantu aba?” 14 Palikuba batuloba bonka bakwana 5,000.

Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamwambilani bantu bekale mumakoto, likoto lya makumi ali asanu.” 15 Beshikwiya balensa mbuli ncobalambilwa. 16 Yesu walanyamuna shinkwa usanu ne Iswi shibili uto, walalanga kwilu ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona nekupa beshikwiya eti bayabile bantu. 17 Bantu bonse balalya nekwikuta. Nomba beshikwiya balabwesa byonse byalashalako ku bantu nekwisusha bitundu likumi ne bibili.

18 Nabumbi busuba Yesu wali kapaila enka, beshikwiya bakendi naboyo balikuba pepi. Lino walabepusheti, “Sena bantu bangi balambangeti ame njame bani?”

19 Balo balakumbuleti, “Bambi balambangeti njamwe Yohane mubatishi. Kayi nabambi balambangeti njamwe Eliya. Kayi nabambi eti njamwe umo wabanshinshimi bakulukulu walapunduka kubafu.”

20 Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba amwe mukute kwambeti ame njame bani?” Petulo walakumbuleti, “Njamwe Wananikwa wa Lesa* 9:20 Uyu ni Mupulushi Walaiwa ne Lesa. uyu ni Yesu Klistu..”

21 Nomba Yesu walakonkomesha beshikwiya kwambeti kabatambila muntu nambi umo makani aya. 22 Kayi walambeti, “Mwana Muntu welela kupenshewa ne kukanwa ne bamakulene beshimilumbo ne bamakulene baba Yuda ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo nibakamukane. Nendi naka shinwe, nsombi busuba bwabutatu nakapunduke kubafu.” 23 Kufumapo walambila bonseti, “Namuntu layandanga kunkonkela ame, welela kushiya nekusula bintu byonse busuba ne busuba kunyamuna lusanda lwakendi nekunkonkela. 24 Pakwinga layandanga kupulusha buyumi bwakendi nakabutaye. Nomba uyo latayanga buyumi bwakendi pacebo ca njame, cakubinga nakabucane. 25 Nomba cainapo ni cani na muntu laba ne bintu byonse bili mucishi capanshi cino, nendi ubutaya buyumi bwakendi bwancinencine nambi kubononga? 26 Palico na muntu unyumfwa insoni pacebo ca maswi akame, neye Mwana Muntu nakamunyufwile insoni pakwisa mubulemu bwakendi ne mubulemu bwa Baishi nebwa bangelo bwaswepa. 27 Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti mpobali bambi pano beshi bakabule kufwa kabatana babona Bwami bwa Lesa.”

28 Mpopalapita masuba asanu ne atatu Yesu mpwalamba makani aya, walamanta Petulo ne Yohane ne Jemusi walaya pa mulundu kuya kupaila. 29 Lino mpwalikupaila, ciwa cakendi Yesu calasanduka ne byakufwala byakendi byalabemba tuu. 30 Popelapo kwalaboneka batuloba babili Mose ne Eliya kabamba ne Yesu. 31 Balaboneka mubulemu bwa kwilu kayi kabambilana sha palufu lwa Yesu lwakuya kufwila ku Yelusalemu. 32 Lino Petulo ne abo mbwalikuba nabo balikuba mutulo. Nomba mpobalapunduka balabona bulemu bwa Yesu ne bantu babili bemana pepi nendiye. 33 Pacindi mpwalikupansana nabo, Petulo walambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, cileni kwambeti tuli pano katwibaka mishasha itatu, umbi wenu, umbi wa Mose, umbi wa Eliya.” Petulo nkalikwishiba ncali kwamba. 34 Kacamba, kwalesa likumbi lyabafwekelela. Lino beshikwiya balatina. 35 Lino mulikumbi umo mwalanyumfwika liswi lya kwambeti, “Uyu emwaname ndalamusala neco mumunyumfwile!” 36 Lino maswi mpwalacileka kunyufwika, beshikwiya balabona Yesu lashala enka. Neco balamwena tonto, kufuma apo baliya kwambilapo muntu nambi umo mbuli ncobalabona.

37 Mumene mene Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi batatu balaseluka pa mulundu, nalyo likoto linene lyabantu lyalakumanina ne Yesu. 38 Popelapo, muntu umbi wamulikoto ilyo walolobesheti, “Bashikwiyisha, ndamusengengeti munyumfwileko inkumbo uyu emwaname enka ngonkute. 39 Ukute mushimu waipa na ulamwikata ukute kakuwa, kayi ne kunyukuma mpaka ufuma lipofu kumulomo. Kayi nkaukute kumulekapo mpaka umulingapo. 40 Lino ndanga ndasenge beshikwiya benu eti baufunye, nomba balalilwa.”

41 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ha! Bantu babula lushomo, mweshikupindimuna miyeyeyo, nomba ninjikale nenu cindi citali econi? Kamumuletani kuno mwana.”

42 Mwana uyo mpwalikuya kuli Yesu, mushimu waipa walamuwala panshi ne kumunyukumuna. Nendi Yesu walakalalila mushimu waipa ne kushilika mwana usa. Lino walamubwesha kuli baishi. 43 Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalabona ngofu shinene sha Lesa.

Bantu kabacikankamana pa bintu ibyo mbyalensa, Yesu wabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, 44 “Kamunyumfwishisha makani aya ngoti ndimwambile! ame Mwana Muntu ninkayabwe mumakasa abantu.” 45 Nsombi balo baliya kwinshiba ncalikwamba pakwinga calikuba casolama nomba baliyawa kwanyumfwishisha. Kayi balatina kumwipusha.

46 Beshikwiya balatatika kupikishana kwambeti benshibe nomba mukulene niyani pakati pabo. 47 Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobali kabayeya mumyoyo, walamanta mwana nekumwikalika kulubasu lwakendi. 48 Lino walabambileti, “Muntu uliyense welela kutambula mwana mbuli uyu mulina lyakame, latambulu ame. Muntu uliyense ukute kutambula ame latambulunga uyo walantuma, pakwinga uyo ngomwasula pakati penu emukulene.”

49 Lino Yohane walambeti, “Amwe beshikwiyisha, twabona muntu umbi nkafunya mishimu yaipa mulina lyenu, nomba twamukanisha pakwinga nte wa mulikoto lyetu.” 50 Yesu walamwambileti, “Mutamukanisha, pakwinga uyo labulunga kutotekeshana nenjamwe uli kulubasu lwenu.”

51 Lino mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti Yesu enga kwilu, walayeya kuya ku Yelesalemu. 52 Walatuma batumwa kuntangu kwakendi abo balaya kuya kwingila mumunshi wa Samaliya kwambeti bamubambile busena. 53 Bantu ba mumunshi uyo baliyawa kumutambula pakwinga walikaya ku Yelusalemu. 54 Lino beshikwiya ba Yesu, Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalabona balambeti, “Mwami, sena nkatwela kwambeti tukuwe mulilo ufume kwilu wise wononge bantu aba?” 55 Yesu walacebuka ne kubakalalila beshikwiya. 56 Popelapo bonse balanyamuka balaya kumunshi umbi.

57 Mpobalikuya munshila, muntu umbi walambila Yesu eti, “Nindimukonkelenga kuli konse nkweshi mwenganga.” 58 Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Bamwaba bakute mishima, kayi ne bikeni bikute bisangala, lino Mwana Muntu liyawa pakona.” 59 Panyuma pakendi Yesu walambila naumbi eti, “Unkokele.” Nsombi nendi muntu uyo walambeti, “Mwami tanshika munsuminishe njenga mbike bata.” 60 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Leka bafwa babike bafu banabo, nsombi obe koya ukambauke sha Bwami bwa Lesa.”

61 Naumbi muntu walambeti, “Nindimukonkele Mwami, lino tanguna nje ndaye kung'anda yakame.” 62 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Muntu atatika kulima ne ngombe, kayi nkacebuku kunyuma, Lesa liya nendi incito mu Bwami bwakendi.”
