Chichewa: Heretofore he had felt a great want, which neither his scholastic studies nor the teaching of the church could satisfy
English: M’Mawu a Mulungu adapeza zomwe adazifuna m’mbuyo mwachabe.
Chichewa: In the word of God he found that which he had before sought in vain.
English: Apa iye anawona dongosolo la chipulumutso likuwululidwa, ndipo Khristu atayikidwa ngati woyimira yekhayo woimira munthu. Anadzipereka yekha ku utumiki wa Khristu, ndipo anatsimikiza mtima kulengeza choonadi chimene anachipeza
Chichewa: Here he saw the plan of salvation revealed and Christ set forth as the only advocate for man. He gave himself to the service of Christ and determined to proclaim the truths he had discovered.
English: Mofanana ndi anthu osintha zinthu, Wycliffe sanadziwiretu kumene idzamufikitse. 
Chichewa: Like after Reformers, Wycliffe did not, at the opening of his work, foresee whither it would lead him.

English: Pamene anazindikira momvekera bwino zolakwa za apapa, m’pamenenso anali kufotokoza mowona mtima chiphunzitso cha Baibulo. 
Chichewa: The more clearly he discerned the errors of the papacy, the more earnestly he presented the teaching of the Bible.
English: Iye anawona kuti Roma anali atasiya Mawu a Mulungu chifukwa cha miyambo ya anthu; iye mopanda mantha anatsutsa ansembe kuti anachotsa Malemba, ndipo anafuna kuti Baibulo libwezeretsedwe kwa anthu, ndi kuti ulamuliro wake ukhazikitsidwenso mu mpingo.
Chichewa: He saw that Rome had forsaken the word of God for human tradition; he fearlessly accused the priesthood of having banished the Scriptures, and demanded that the Bible be restored to the people and that its authority be again established in the church.
English: Iye anali mphunzitsi wokhoza ndi wakhama, ndi mlaliki waluso, ndipo moyo wake watsiku ndi tsiku unali chisonyezero cha chowonadi chimene iye ankalalikira. 
Chichewa: He was an able and earnest teacher and an eloquent preacher, and his daily life was a demonstration of the truths he preached.

Chichewa: His knowledge of the Scriptures, the force of his reasoning, the purity of his life, and his unbending courage and integrity won for him general esteem and confidence.

Chichewa: Many of the people had become dissatisfied with their former faith as they saw the iniquity that prevailed in the Roman Church, and they hailed with unconcealed joy the truths brought to view by Wycliffe; but the papal leaders were filled with rage when they perceived that this Reformer was gaining an influence greater than their own.
English: Wycliffe anali wozindikira bwino zolakwa, ndipo mopanda mantha analimbana ndi nkhanza zambiri zololedwa ndi ulamuliro wa Roma.
Chichewa: Wycliffe was a keen detector of error, and he struck fearlessly against many of the abuses sanctioned by the authority of Rome.
English: Pamene anali kuchita monga wansembe wa mfumu, iye anakana molimba mtima kupereka msonkho umene papa ananena kuchokera kwa mfumu ya ku England, ndipo anasonyeza kuti kutengeka kwa ulamuliro wa papa pa olamulira akudziko kunali kosagwirizana ndi kulingalira ndi vumbulutso. 
Chichewa: While acting as chaplain for the king, he took a bold stand against the payment of tribute claimed by the pope from the English monarch and showed that the papal assumption of authority over secular rulers was contrary to both reason and revelation.
English: Zofuna za papa zinakwiyitsa kwambiri, ndipo ziphunzitso za Wycliffe zinasonkhezera anthu otsogola a mtunduwo. 
Chichewa: The demands of the pope had excited great indignation, and Wycliffe’s teachings exerted an influence upon the leading minds of the nation.
English: Mfumu ndi olemekezeka anagwirizana kukana zonena za papa za ulamuliro wanthawi yochepa, ndi kukana kupereka msonkho. 
Chichewa: The king and the nobles united in denying the pontiff’s claim to temporal authority and in refusing the payment of the tribute.
English: Chotero nkhonya yogwira mtima inakanthidwa motsutsana ndi ukulu wa apapa mu England
Chichewa: Thus an effectual blow was struck against the papal supremacy in England. Another evil against which the Reformer waged long and resolute battle was the institution of the orders of mendicant friars.
English: Abale aŵa anadzadza mu England,
akumadzetsa vuto pa ukulu ndi kulemerera kwa mtunduwo
Chichewa: These friars swarmed in England, casting a blight upon the greatness and prosperity of the nation.
English: . Makampani, maphunziro, makhalidwe, onse anamva chikoka chofota. Moyo wa amonke wa ulesi ndi umphawi sunali chabe kuwononga chuma cha anthu, koma unabweretsa ntchito yothandiza m’chipongwe. 
Chichewa: Industry, education, morals, all felt the withering influence. The monk’s life of idleness and beggary was not only a heavy drain upon the resources of the people, but it brought useful labor into contempt.
English: Achinyamatawo anali otaya mtima komanso achinyengo. Ndi chisonkhezero cha afriars ambiri adakopeka kulowa mnyumba ndikudzipereka ku moyo wa amonke, ndipo izi osati popanda chilolezo cha makolo awo, komanso popanda kudziwa kwawo, komanso motsutsana ndi malamulo awo. 
Chichewa: The youth were demoralized and corrupted. By the influence of the friars many were induced to enter a cloister and devote themselves to a monastic life, and this not only without the consent of their parents, but even without their knowledge and contrary to their commands.
English: Mmodzi wa atate oyambirira a Tchalitchi cha Romish, akumasonkhezera zonena za chipembedzo cha monastic pamwamba pa thayo la chikondi chaubwana ndi ntchito, anali atalengeza kuti: “Angakhale atate wako atagona pakhomo pako, akulira ndi kulira, ndipo amako akakusonyeza iwe thupi limene uli nalo. ndi mabere amene anakuyamwitsa, penya kuti uwapondereze, ndi kupita pomwepo kwa Khristu.” 
Chichewa: One of the early Fathers of the Roman Church, urging the claims of monasticism above the obligations of filial love and duty, had declared: “Though thy father should lie before thy door weeping and lamenting, and thy mother should show the body that bore thee and the breasts that nursed thee, see that thou trample them underfoot, and go onward straightway to Christ.”
English: “Mwa nkhanza yoipitsitsa imeneyi,” monga momwe Luther pambuyo pake anaitchulira, “kukonda kwambiri mimbulu ndi wankhanza kuposa Mkristu ndi munthu,” mitima ya ana inali yolimba kutsutsana ndi makolo awo. 
Chichewa: By this “monstrous inhumanity,” as Luther afterward styled it, “savoring more of the wolf and the tyrant than of the Christian and the man,” were the hearts of children steeled against their parents.—Barnas Sears, The Life of Luther, pages 70, 69.
English: Momwemonso atsogoleri apapa, monga Afarisi akale, anasandutsa lamulo la Mulungu kukhala lopanda ntchito ndi miyambo yawo. 
Chichewa: Thus did the papal leaders, like the Pharisees of old, make the commandment of God of none effect by their tradition.
English: Motero nyumba zinasanduka bwinja, ndipo makolo analandidwa chitaganya cha ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi.
Chichewa: Thus homes were made desolate and parents were deprived of the society of their sons and daughters.
English: Ngakhale ophunzira a m’mayunivesitewo ananyengedwa ndi zikhulupiriro zabodza za amonke, ndipo ananyengedwa kuti agwirizane ndi malamulo awo. e
Chichewa: Even the students in the universities were deceived by the false representations of the monks and induced to join their orders.
English: Ambiri pambuyo pake analapa sitepe iyi, powona kuti anaipitsa miyoyo yawo, ndipo anabweretsa chisoni pa makolo awo; koma atasala kudya mumsampha, kunali kosatheka kuti iwo apeze ufulu wawo. 
Chichewa: Many afterward repented this step, seeing that they had blighted their own lives and had brought sorrow upon their parents; but once fast in the snare it was impossible for them to obtain their freedom.
English: Makolo ambiri, poopa kusonkhezeredwa ndi amonke, anakana kutumiza ana awo aamuna ku mayunivesite. 
Chichewa: Many parents, fearing the influence of the monks, refused to send their sons to the universities.
English: Panali kutsika kwakukulu kwa chiwerengero cha ophunzira omwe anapezeka pa malo akuluakulu a maphunziro. 
Chichewa: There was a marked falling off in the number of students in attendance at the great centers of learning.
English: Masukulu analefuka, ndipo umbuli unali ponseponse.Papa anapatsa amonkewo mphamvu zomvetsera kuulula ndi kukhululukira.
Chichewa: The schools languished, and ignorance prevailed. The pope had bestowed on these monks the power to hear confessions and to grant pardon.
English: Ichi chinakhala gwero la zoipa zazikulu. Pofuna kukulitsa zopindula zawo, abusawo anali okonzeka kupereka chikhululukiro kotero kuti zigawenga za kufotokoza zonse zinapita kwa iwo, ndipo chifukwa chake, kuipa koipitsitsa kunakula mofulumira.
Chichewa: This became a source of great evil. Bent on enhancing their gains, the friars were so ready to grant absolution that criminals of all descriptions resorted to them, and, as a result, the worst vices rapidly increased.
English: Odwala ndi osauka anasiyidwa kuti azunzike, pamene mphatso zomwe zinayenera kuthetseratu zofuna zawo zinapita kwa amonke, omwe ndi ziwopsezo ankafuna zachifundo za anthu, akumatsutsa chinyengo cha omwe ayenera kuletsa mphatso ku malamulo awo. 
Chichewa: The sick and the poor were left to suffer, while the gifts that should have relieved their wants went to the monks, who with threats demanded the alms of the people, denouncing the impiety of those who should withhold gifts from their orders.
English: Mosasamala kanthu za kudzinenera kwawo kwa umphaŵi, chuma cha ansembe chinali kuwonjezereka mosalekeza, ndipo nyumba zawo zokongola ndi matebulo apamwamba zinapangitsa kuti umphaŵi wawo ukukula wa fuko uwonekere. 
Chichewa: Notwithstanding their profession of poverty, the wealth of the friars was constantly increasing, and their magnificent edifices and luxurious tables made more apparent the growing poverty of the nation.
English: Ndipo pamene adali kuthera nthawi yawo m’zinthu zabwino ndi zokondweretsa, adatumiza m’malo mwawo anthu mbuli, amene amangonena nthano, nthano ndi nthano zoseketsa anthu, ndikuwapangitsa kukhala achinyengo kwambiri a amonke. 
Chichewa: And while spending their time in luxury and pleasure, they sent out in their stead ignorant men, who could only recount marvelous tales, legends, and jests to amuse the people and make them still more completely the dupes of the monks.
English: Komabe ma friars anapitirizabe kugwiritsitsa makamu a zikhulupiriro, ndipo anawapangitsa iwo kukhulupirira kuti ntchito zonse zachipembedzo zinali kuvomereza ukulu wa papa, kupembedza oyera mtima, ndi kupereka mphatso kwa amonke, ndipo izi zinali zokwanira kuti atetezedwe. iwo malo Kumwamba
Chichewa: Yet the friars continued to maintain their hold on the superstitious multitudes and led them to believe that all religious duty was comprised in acknowledging the supremacy of the pope, adoring the saints, and making gifts to the monks, and that this was sufficient to secure them a place in heaven
English: Amuna ophunzira ndi opembedza adagwira ntchito pachabe kubweretsa kukonzanso m'madongosolo awa amonke; koma Wycliffe, mozindikira momveka bwino, anakantha muzu wa choipacho, nalengeza kuti dongosolo lenilenilo linali labodza, ndipo liyenera kuthetsedwa.
Chichewa: Men of learning and piety had labored in vain to bring about a reform in these monastic orders; but Wycliffe, with clearer insight, struck at the root of the evil, declaring that the system itself was false and that it should be abolished.
English: Kukambitsirana ndi kufunsana kunali kudzuka. Pamene amonke ankayendayenda m’dzikolo, n’kumagulitsa zimene Papa wawakhululukira, anthu ambiri anakayikira zoti angathe kugula chikhululukiro ndi ndalama, ndipo ankakayikira ngati sayenera kupempha chikhululukiro kwa Mulungu m’malo mwa papa wa ku Roma. 
Chichewa: Discussion and inquiry were awakening. As the monks traversed the country, vending the pope’s pardons, many were led to doubt the possibility of purchasing forgiveness with money, and they questioned whether they should not seek pardon from God rather than from the pontiff of Rome.
English: Osawerengeka anada nkhaŵa ndi chipwirikiti cha abusawo, amene umbombo wawo unawoneka wosakhutiritsidwa. “Amonke ndi ansembe a Roma,” iwo anatero, “akutidya ngati kansa. 
Chichewa: Not a few were alarmed at the rapacity of the friars, whose greed seemed never to be satisfied. “The monks and priests of Rome,” said they, “are eating us away like a cancer.
English: Mulungu ayenera kutipulumutsa, apo ayi anthu angawonongeke. 
Chichewa: God must deliver us, or the people will perish.
English: Kujatikizya bukkale bwabo, aaba basyomeka balo bakaamba kuti bakali kutobela cikozyanyo ca Mufutuli, bakaamba kuti Jesu naa basikwiiya bakwe bakagwasyigwa akaambo kakugwasyilizya bantu. 
Chichewa: To cover their avarice, these begging monks claimed that they were following the Saviour’s example, declaring that Jesus and His disciples had been supported by the charities of the people.
English: Kudzinenera kumeneku kunadzetsa chivulazo ku cholinga chawo, pakuti kunatsogolera ambiri ku Baibulo kudziphunzirira iwo eni chowonadi, chotulukapo chimene mwa ena onse sichinali chokhumbidwa ndi Aroma. Malingaliro a anthu analunjikitsidwa kwa Gwero la choonadi, chimene chinali cholinga chake kubisa
Chichewa: This claim resulted in injury to their cause, for it led many to the Bible to learn the truth for themselves—a result which of all others was least desired by Rome. The minds of men were directed to the Source of truth, which it was her object to conceal.
English: Wycliffe anayamba kulemba ndi kufalitsa mathirakiti otsutsa ansembewo, komabe, osati kufunafuna zambiri zotsutsana nawo kotero kuti aitanitse maganizo a anthu ku ziphunzitso za Baibulo ndi Mlembi wake. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe began to write and publish tracts against the friars, not, however, seeking so much to enter into dispute with them as to call the minds of the people to the teachings of the Bible and its Author.
English: Iye analengeza kuti mphamvu ya kukhululukidwa kapena kuchotsedwa ali nayo papa pamlingo wokulirapo kuposa wa ansembe wamba, ndi kuti palibe munthu amene angachotsedwedi m’tchalitchi pokhapokha ngati atadzibweretsera chitsutso cha Mulungu choyamba.
Chichewa: He declared that the power of pardon or of excommunication is possessed by the pope in no greater degree than by common priests, and that no man can be truly excommunicated unless he has first brought upon himself the condemnation of God.
English: Palibenso njira inanso yogwira ntchito imene iye sakanatha kugwetsa nsalu yaikuluyo ya ulamuliro wauzimu ndi wanthawi imene papa anaukhazikitsa, ndi mmene miyoyo ndi matupi a anthu mamiliyoni ambiri anagwidwa ukapolo.
Chichewa: In no more effectual way could he have undertaken the overthrow of that mammoth fabric of spiritual and temporal dominion which the pope had erected and in which the souls and bodies of millions were held captive.
English: Kachiŵirinso Wycliffe anaitanidwa kutetezera ufulu wa korona Wachingerezi motsutsana ndi kuloŵerera kwa Roma; ndipo atasankhidwa kukhala kazembe wachifumu, anakhala zaka ziwiri ku Netherlands, pamsonkhano ndi akuluakulu a papa. 
Chichewa: Again Wycliffe was called to defend the rights of the English crown against the encroachments of Rome; and being appointed a royal ambassador, he spent two years in the Netherlands, in conference with the commissioners of the pope.
English: Kumeneko anabweretsedwa m’kulankhulana ndi atchalitchi ochokera ku France, Italy, ndi Spain, ndipo anali ndi mwayi woyang’ana m’mbuyo, ndi kupeza chidziwitso cha zinthu zambiri zimene zikanabisidwa kwa iye ku England.
Chichewa: Here he was brought into communication with 84 ecclesiastics from France, Italy, and Spain, and he had an opportunity to look behind the scenes and gain a knowledge of many things which would have remained hidden from him in England
English: Anaphunzira zambiri zomwe zingathandize kuti ntchito yake ipite patsogolo. Mwa oimira a bwalo la apapa ameneŵa anaŵerenga mkhalidwe weniweni ndi zolinga za utsogoleri. 
Chichewa: He learned much that was to give point to his after labors. In these representatives from the papal court he read the true character and aims of the hierarchy.
English: Anabwerera ku Mangalande kukabwereza ziphunzitso zake zakale momvekera bwino ndi changu chokulirapo, akumalengeza kuti kusirira, kunyada, ndi chinyengo zinali milungu ya Roma
Chichewa: He returned to England to repeat his former teachings more openly and with greater zeal, declaring that covetousness, pride, and deception were the gods of Rome.
English: M’mathirakiti ake ena iye anati, ponena za papa ndi osonkhanitsa ake: “Iwo amakoka m’dziko lathu chuma cha anthu osauka, ndi magiredi masauzande ambiri pofika chaka, a ndalama za mfumu, za masakramenti ndi zinthu zauzimu, umenewo ndi mpatuko wotembereredwa. wa chisimoni, ndipo amapangitsa Matchalitchi Achikristu onse kutsimikizira ndi kusunga mpatuko wake. 
Chichewa: In one of his tracts he said, speaking of the pope and his collectors: “They draw out of our land poor men’s livelihood, and many thousand marks, by the year, of the king’s money, for sacraments and spiritual things, that is cursed heresy of simony, and maketh all Christendom assent and maintain this heresy.
English: Ndipo ndithudi, ngakhale ufumu wathu unali ndi phiri lalikulu la golide, ndipo palibe munthu wina amene anatengako koma yekha wonyada uyu, wosonkhanitsa wansembe wachidziko, pakupita kwa nthawi phiri ili liyenera kuthetsedwa; chifukwa achotsa ndalama m’dziko lathu, ndipo satumizanso kanthu koma temberero la Mulungu chifukwa cha usimoni wake.
Chichewa: And certes though our realm had a huge hill of gold, and never other man took thereof but only this proud worldly priest’s collector, by process of time this hill must be spended; for he taketh ever money out of our land, and sendeth nought again but God’s curse for his simony.”
English: Atangobwerera ku England, Wycliffe analandira kuchokera kwa mfumu kumusankha kukhala mkulu wa bungwe la Lutterworth. 
Chichewa: Soon after his return to England, Wycliffe received from the king the appointment to the rectory of Lutterworth.
English: Chimenechi chinali chitsimikiziro chakuti mfumuyo siinakhumudwe ndi kuyankhula kwake kwachimvekere. 
Chichewa: This was an assurance that the monarch at least had not been displeased by his plain speaking.
English: Chisonkhezero cha Wycliffe chinaoneka m’kuumba zochita za khoti, limodzinso ndi kuumba chikhulupiriro cha mtunduwo
Chichewa: Wycliffe’s influence was felt in shaping the action of the court, as well as in molding the belief of the nation.
English: Mabingu a papa posakhalitsa anaponyedwa pa iye. Ng’ombe zamphongo zitatu zinatumizidwa ku England, —ku yunivesite, kwa mfumu, ndi kwa ansembe, —onse akulamula kuti achitepo kanthu mwamsanga ndi motsimikiza kuti aletse mphunzitsi wa mpatuko.
Chichewa: The papal thunders were soon hurled against him. Three bulls were dispatched to England,—to the university, to the king, and to the prelates,—all commanding immediate and decisive measures to silence the teacher of heresy.
English: Komabe, ng’ombezo zisanafike, mabishopu, mwa changu chawo, anaitana Wycliffe pamaso pawo kuti akazengedwe mlandu. 
Chichewa:  Before the arrival of the bulls, however, the bishops, in their zeal, had summoned Wycliffe before them for trial.
English: Koma awiri a akalonga amphamvu mu ufumu anatsagana naye ku bwalo la milandu; ndipo anthu, akuzungulira nyumbayo ndi kuthamangira mkati, anawopsyeza oweruza kotero kuti mlanduwo unaimitsidwa kwa nthawiyo, ndipo analoledwa kupita njira yake mwamtendere. 
Chichewa: But two of the most powerful princes in the kingdom accompanied him to the tribunal; and the people, surrounding the building and rushing in, so intimidated the judges that the 85 proceedings were for the time suspended, and he was allowed to go his way in peace.
English: Patapita nthaŵi pang’ ono, Edward III., amene muukalamba wake ansembe anali kufunitsitsa kusonkhezera wokonzansoyo, anamwalira, ndipo mtetezi wakale wa Wycliffe anakhala wolamulira wa ufumuwo
Chichewa: A little later, Edward III, whom in his old age the prelates were seeking to influence against the Reformer, died, and Wycliffe’s former protector became regent of the kingdom.
English: Koma kufika kwa zigamulo za apapa kunaika ku England konse lamulo loletsa kumangidwa ndi kutsekeredwa m’ndende kwa wopandukayo.
Chichewa: But the arrival of the papal bulls laid upon all England a peremptory command for the arrest and imprisonment of the heretic.
English: Miyezo imeneyi inaloza pamtengowo. Zinkawoneka zotsimikizirika kuti Wycliffe anayenera kukhala msampha wa kubwezera kwa Roma. 
Chichewa: These measures pointed directly to the stake. It appeared certain that Wycliffe must soon fall a prey to the vengeance of Rome.
English: Imfa sinabwere kwa wokonzansoyo, koma kwa papa amene analamula kuti awonongedwe. Gregory XI. anafa, ndipo atsogoleri achipembedzo amene anasonkhana kaamba ka mlandu wa Wycliffe, anabalalika.
Chichewa: Death came, not to the Reformer, but to the pontiff who had decreed his destruction. Gregory XI died, and the ecclesiastics who had assembled for Wycliffe’s trial, dispersed.
English: Chitsogozo cha Mulungu chinapitirizabe kugonjetsa zochitika kuti zipereke mwayi wa kukula kwa Kukonzanso. 
Chichewa: God’s providence still further overruled events to give opportunity for the growth of the Reformation.
English: Imfa ya Gregory inatsatiridwa ndi kusankhidwa kwa apapa aŵiri otsutsana. 
Chichewa: The death of Gregory was followed by the election of two rival popes.
English: Maulamuliro aŵiri otsutsana, aliwonse akudzinenera kukhala osalephera, tsopano anadzinenera kumvera. 
Chichewa: Two conflicting powers, each professedly infallible, now claimed obedience.
English: Aliyense adayitana okhulupirika kuti amuthandize pomenyana ndi mzake, kukakamiza zofuna zake mwamwano woopsa kwa adani ake, ndi malonjezo a mphotho Kumwamba kwa omutsatira ake. 
Chichewa: Each called upon the faithful to assist him in making war upon the other, enforcing his demands by terrible anathemas against his adversaries, and promises of rewards in heaven to his supporters.
English: Zimenezi zinafooketsa kwambiri mphamvu za upapa
Chichewa: This occurrence greatly weakened the power of the papacy.
English: Magulu otsutsanawo anali ndi zonse zomwe akanatha kuchita kuti aziukirana, ndipo Wycliffe anapuma kwa kanthawi. 
Chichewa: The rival factions had all they could do to attack each other, and Wycliffe for a time had rest.
English: Kunyoza ndi kutsutsa kunali kuwuluka kuchokera papa kupita kwa papa, ndipo mitsinje ya mwazi inatsanuliridwa kuchirikiza zonena zawo zotsutsana. 
Chichewa: Anathemas and recriminations were flying from pope to pope, and torrents of blood were poured out to support their conflicting claims.
English: Upandu ndi zonyansa zinasefukira m’tchalitchi. Pakali pano wokonzansoyo, mu kupuma mwakachetechete kwa parishi yake ya Lutterworth, anali kugwira ntchito mwakhama kuti aloze amuna ochokera kwa apapa omwe anali kulimbana kwa Yesu, Kalonga wa mtendere
Chichewa: Crimes and scandals flooded the church. Meanwhile the Reformer, in the quiet retirement of his parish of Lutterworth, was laboring diligently to point men from the contending popes to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. The schism, with all the strife and corruption which it caused, prepared the way for the Reformation by enabling the people to see what the papacy really was. In a tract which he published, On the Schism of the Popes, Wycliffe called upon the people to consider whether these two priests were not speaking
the truth in condemning each other as the anti-christ
English: Wycliffe, mofanana ndi Mbuye wake, analalikira uthenga wabwino kwa osauka. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe, like his Master, preached the gospel to the poor.
English: Posakhutira ndi kufalitsa kuunikako m’nyumba zawo zonyozeka m’parishi yakeyake ya Lutterworth, iye anatsimikiza kuti kuyenera kutengedwa ku mbali iriyonse ya England. 
Chichewa: Not content with spreading the light in their humble homes in his own parish of Lutterworth, he determined that it should be carried to every part of England.
English: Kuti akwaniritse zimenezi analinganiza gulu la alaliki, amuna osavuta, odzipereka, amene ankakonda choonadi ndipo sankafuna chilichonse choposa kuchikulitsa.
Chichewa: To accomplish this he organized a body of preachers, simple, devout men, who loved the truth and desired nothing so much as to extend it.
English: Amuna amenewa adapita kulikonse, naphunzitsa m’misika, ndi m’misewu ya mizinda yayikulu, ndi m’milaga. 
Chichewa: These men went everywhere, teaching in the market places, in the streets of the great cities, and in the country lanes.
English: Iwo anafunafuna okalamba, odwala, ndi osauka, ndipo anatsegulira iwo uthenga wabwino wa chisomo cha Mulungu
Chichewa: They sought out the aged, the sick, and the poor, and opened to them the glad tidings of the grace of God
English: Monga pulofesa wa maphunziro a zaumulungu ku Oxford, Wycliffe ankalalikira Mawu a Mulungu m’ maholo a payunivesiteyo. 
Chichewa: As a professor of theology at Oxford, Wycliffe preached the word of God in the halls of the university.
English: Iye anapereka chowonadi mokhulupirika kwa ophunzira pansi pa chilangizo chake, kotero kuti analandira mutu wa “Dokotala wa Uthenga Wabwino.” 
Chichewa: So faithfully did he present the truth to the students under his instruction, that he received the title of “the gospel doctor.”
English: Koma ntchito yaikulu kwambiri pa moyo wake inali kumasulira Malemba m’Chingelezi.
Chichewa: But the greatest work of his life was to be the translation of the Scriptures into the English language.
English: M’nkhani yakuti “Choonadi ndi Tanthauzo la Malemba,” iye anafotokoza cholinga chake cha kutembenuza Baibulo, kotero kuti munthu aliyense mu England akaŵerenge, m’chinenero chimene anabadwiramo, ntchito zodabwitsa za Mulungu
Chichewa: In a work, On the Truth and Meaning of Scripture, he expressed his intention to translate the Bible, so that every man in England might read, in the language in which he was born, the wonderful works of God.
English: Koma mwadzidzidzi ntchito yake inaimitsidwa. 
Chichewa: But suddenly his labors were stopped.
English: Ngakhale kuti anali asanakwanitse zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi, kugwira ntchito kosalekeza, kuphunzira, ndi kuukiridwa kwa adani ake, zinali zitafotokoza mphamvu zake, ndipo zinamukalamba msanga. 
Chichewa: Though not yet sixty years of age, unceasing toil, study, and the assaults of his enemies had told upon his strength and made him prematurely old.
English: Anagwidwa ndi matenda oopsa.
Chichewa: He was attacked by a dangerous illness.
English: Nkhanizo zinabweretsa chisangalalo chachikulu kwa ansembe. Tsopano iwo anaganiza kuti alapa momvetsa chisoni choipa chimene iye anachichita tchalitchicho, ndipo iwo anathamangira ku chipinda chake kuti akamve ku chivomerezo chake. 
Chichewa: The tidings brought great joy to the friars. Now they thought he would bitterly repent the evil he had done the church, and they hurried to his chamber to listen to his confession
English: Oimira a magulu anayi achipembedzo, pamodzi ndi akuluakulu anayi a boma, anasonkhana ponena za munthu woganiziridwayo wakufayo..
Chichewa: Representatives from the four religious orders, with four civil officers, gathered about the supposed dying man
English: “Inu muli nayo imfa pamilomo yanu,” iwo anatero; “Mukhudzidwe chifukwa cha zolakwa zanu, ndipo mubwezere pamaso pathu zonse zimene mwanena kuti zitipweteke.”
Chichewa: You have death on your lips,” they said; “be touched by your faults, and retract in our presence all that you have said to our injury
English: Wokonzansoyo anamvetsera mwachete; Kenako adauza mtumiki wake kuti amunyamule pakama pake, ndipo adawayang'anitsitsa pamene adayimilira kudikirira kukana kwake. , ndi kulengeza zoipa za ansembe.” Atadabwa ndi kuchita manyazi, amonkewo anatuluka m’chipindamo mofulumira
Chichewa: The Reformer listened in silence; then he bade his attendant raise him in his bed, and, gazing steadily upon them as they stood waiting for his recantation, he said, in the firm, strong voice which had so often caused them to tremble:
English: Atadabwa ndi kuchita manyazi, amonkewo anatuluka m’chipindamo mofulumira
Chichewa: Astonished and abashed, the monks hurried from the room.
English: Mawu a Wycliffe anakwaniritsidwa. Iye anakhala ndi moyo kuti aike m’manja mwa anthu a mtundu wake zida zamphamvu koposa zonse zolimbana ndi Roma; 
Chichewa: Wycliffe’s words were fulfilled. He lived to place in the hands of his countrymen the most powerful of all weapons against Rome—to give them the Bible, the Heaven-appointed agent to liberate, enlighten, and evangelize the people.
English: Panali zopinga zambiri ndiponso zazikulu zimene zinali zofunika kupirira kuti ntchito imeneyi ikwaniritsidwe. 
Chichewa: There were many and great obstacles to surmount in the accomplishment of this work.
English: Wycliffe analemedwa ndi zofooka, anadziŵa kuti zaka zoŵerengeka zokha za ntchito zinamtsalira, iye anawona chitsutso chimene ayenera kukumana nacho; koma, molimbikitsidwa ndi malonjezo a Mawu a Mulungu, iye anapitabe patsogolo popanda chodetsa nkhaŵa
Chichewa: Wycliffe was weighed down with infirmities; he knew that only a few years for labor remained for him; he saw the opposition which he must meet; but, encouraged by the promises of God’s word, he went forward nothing daunted.
English: Mu mphamvu zonse za luntha lake, wolemera m’chidziŵitso, iye anali atasungidwa ndi kukonzedwa ndi chisungiko chapadera cha Mulungu kaamba ka ichi, ntchito yake yaikulu koposa. 
Chichewa: In the full vigor of his intellectual powers, rich in experience, he had been preserved and prepared by God’s special providence for this, the greatest of his labors.
English: Pamene kuli kwakuti Matchalitchi Achikristu onse anali odzala ndi chipwirikiti, wokonzansoyo, m’bwalo lake la ku Lutterworth, wosalabadira chimphepo chimene chinawomba kunja, anadzipereka ku ntchito yake yosankhidwa
Chichewa: While all Christendom was filled with tumult, the Reformer in his rectory at Lutterworth, unheeding the storm that raged without, applied himself to his chosen task. At last the work was completed—the first English translation of the Bible ever made.
English: Mawu a Mulungu anatsegulidwa ku England. Wokonzansoyo sanaope tsopano ndende kapena mtengo. 
Chichewa: The word of God was opened to England. The Reformer feared not now the prison or the stake.
English: Iye anali ataika m’manja mwa anthu achingelezi kuwala koyenera kuzimitsidwa.
Chichewa: He had placed in the hands of the English people a light which should never be extinguished.
English: Popereka Baibulo kwa anthu a m’dziko lake, iye anachita zambiri kuti athyole maunyolo a umbuli ndi kuipa, kumasula ndi kukweza dziko lake, kuposa zimene zinatheka chifukwa cha kupambana kwanzeru kwambiri m’mabwalo ankhondo
Chichewa: In giving the Bible to his countrymen, he had done more to break the fetters of ignorance and vice, more to liberate and elevate his country, than was ever achieved by the most brilliant victories on fields of battle.
English: Luso la kusindikiza linali losadziŵikabe, kunali kokha mwa ntchito yapang’onopang’ono ndi yotopetsa kuti makope a Baibulo achulukitsidwe.
Chichewa: The art of printing being still unknown, it was only by slow and wearisome labor that copies of the Bible could be multiplied.
English: Chidwi chopeza bukulo chinali chachikulu kwambiri, moti ambiri anadzipereka ndi mtima wonse m’ntchito yolilemba, koma zinali zovutirapo kuti okoperawo akwaniritse chifunocho. Ena mwa anthu olemera kwambiri ogula zinthu analakalaka Baibulo lonse.
Chichewa: So great was the interest to obtain the book, that 88 many willingly engaged in the work of transcribing it, but it was with difficulty that the copyists could supply the demand. Some of the more wealthy purchasers desired the whole Bible.
English: Ena anangogula gawo lokhalo. Nthaŵi zambiri, mabanja angapo ankagwirizana kugula kope. 
Chichewa: Others bought only a portion. In many cases, several families united to purchase a copy.
English: Motero posapita nthaŵi Baibulo la Wycliffe linafika m’nyumba za anthu
Chichewa: Thus Wycliffe’s Bible soon found its way to the homes of the people. The appeal to men’s reason aroused them from their passive submission to papal dogmas.
English: Tsopano Wycliffe anaphunzitsa ziphunzitso zapadera za Chipulotesitanti, —chipulumutso mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Kristu, ndi kusalakwa kokha kwa Malemba. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe now taught the distinctive doctrines of Protestantism—salvation through faith in Christ, and the sole infallibility of the Scriptures.
English: Alaliki amene iye anawatuma anafalitsa Baibulo, limodzi ndi zolembedwa za wokonzanso, ndipo mopambana kwambiri kotero kuti chikhulupiriro chatsopanocho chinavomerezedwa ndi pafupifupi theka la anthu a ku England
Chichewa: The preachers whom he had sent out circulated the Bible, together with the Reformer’s writings, and with such success that the new faith was accepted by nearly one half of the people of England. The appearance of the Scriptures brought dismay to the authorities of the church.
English: Tsopano anayenera kukumana ndi bungwe lamphamvu kwambiri kuposa Wycliffe, bungwe limene zida zawo sizikanawathandiza kwenikweni. 
Chichewa: They had now to meet an agency more powerful than Wycliffe—an agency against which their weapons would avail little.
English: Panthaŵiyi kunalibe lamulo ku England loletsa Baibulo, chifukwa linali lisanasindikizidwepo m’chinenero cha anthu. 
Chichewa: There was at this time no law in England prohibiting the Bible, for it had never before been published in the language of the people.
English: Pambuyo pake malamulo oterowo anakhazikitsidwa ndi kutsatiridwa mwamphamvu. Panthaŵiyi, mosasamala kanthu za kuyesayesa kwa wansembe, panali mwaŵi wa nyengo wa kufalitsidwa kwa Mawu a Mulungu.Apanso atsogoleri a chipapa anakonza chiwembu choletsa mawu a wokonzansoyo
Chichewa: Such laws were afterward enacted and rigorously enforced. Meanwhile, notwithstanding the efforts of the priests, there was for a season opportunity for the circulation of the word of God. Again the papal leaders plotted to silence the Reformer’s voice.
English: Pamaso pa makhoti atatu motsatizana anamuitana kuti akazengedwe mlandu, koma osapindula.
Chichewa: Before three tribunals he was successively summoned for trial, but without avail.
English: Poyamba sinodi ya mabishopu inalengeza kuti zolemba zake n’zampatuko, ndipo, atapambana mfumu yachichepereyo, Richard II., kumbali yawo, iwo analandira lamulo lachifumu lotsekera m’ndende onse amene ayenera kusunga ziphunzitso zotsutsidwazo
Chichewa: First a synod of bishops declared his writings heretical, and, winning the young king, Richard II, to their side, they obtained a royal decree consigning to prison all who should hold the condemned doctrines.
English: Wycliffe adachita apilo ku sinodi ku Nyumba ya Malamulo; iye mopanda mantha anazenga mlandu wa atsogoleri achipembedzo ku khonsolo ya dziko lonse, ndipo anafuna kusintha nkhanza zazikulu zimene tchalitchicho chinavomereza. Ndi mphamvu zokhutiritsa iye anaonetsa kulanda ndi katangale wa mpingo waupapa. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe appealed from the synod to Parliament; he fearlessly arraigned the hierarchy before the national council and demanded a reform of the enormous abuses sanctioned by the church. With convincing power he portrayed the usurpation and corruptions of the papal see.
English: Adani ake anasokonezedwa.
Chichewa: His enemies were brought to confusion.
English: Mabwenzi ndi omuchirikiza Wycliffe anakakamizika kugonja, ndipo kunayembekezeredwa ndi chidaliro kuti wokonzansoyo mwiniyo, mu ukalamba wake, yekha ndi wopanda mabwenzi, adzagwadira ku ulamuliro wophatikizidwa wa korona ndi nduwira. 
Chichewa: The friends and supporters of Wycliffe had been forced to yield, and it had been 89 confidently expected that the Reformer himself, in his old age, alone and friendless, would bow to the combined authority of the crown and the miter.
English: Koma m’malo mwa izi apapa anadziwona okha kugonjetsedwa. 
Chichewa: But instead of this the papists saw themselves defeated.
English: Nyumba yamalamulo, yodzutsidwa ndi mapempho osonkhezera a Wycliffe, inathetsa lamulo lozunza, ndipo wokonzansoyo analinso ndi ufulu
Chichewa: Parliament, roused by the stirring appeals of Wycliffe, repealed the persecuting edict, and the Reformer was again at liberty.
English: Kachitatu anazengedwa mlandu, ndipo tsopano pamaso pa khoti lalikulu la tchalitchi mu ufumuwo.
Chichewa: A third time he was brought to trial, and now before the highest ecclesiastical tribunal in the kingdom.
English: Apa palibe chisomo chimene chingasonyezedwe ku mpatuko.
Chichewa: Here no favor would be shown to heresy.
English: Pano pomalizira pake Roma akanapambana, ndipo ntchito ya wokonzansoyo idzaimitsidwa. 
Chichewa: Here at last Rome would triumph, and the Reformer’s work would be stopped.
English: Adaganiza choncho apapa. Ngati akanatha kukwaniritsa cholinga chawo, Wycliffe akanakakamizika kunyalanyaza ziphunzitso zake, kapena akanangochoka m’khoti chifukwa cha moto woyaka
Chichewa: So thought the papists. If they could but accomplish their purpose, Wycliffe would be forced to abjure his doctrines, or would leave the court only for the flames.
English: Koma Wycliffe sanabwerere m’mbuyo; sakanatha kudzipatula.
Chichewa: But Wycliffe did not retract; he would not dissemble.
English: Iye anasungabe ziphunzitso zake mopanda mantha, ndipo anakana zoneneza za amene ankamuzunza. 
Chichewa: He fearlessly maintained his teachings and repelled the accusations of his persecutors.
English: Potaya kudziona, udindo wake, wa chochitikacho, anaitana omvera ake pamaso pa bwalo lamilandu laumulungu, nayesa kuphatikizika kwawo ndi chinyengo chawo mu miyeso ya chowonadi chamuyaya. 
Chichewa: Losing sight of himself, of his position, of the occasion, he summoned his hearers before the divine tribunal, and weighed their sophistries and deceptions in the balances of eternal truth.
English: Mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera inamveka mu chipinda cha msonkhano.  
Chichewa: The power of the Holy Spirit was felt in the council room.
English: “Malodza ochokera kwa Mulungu adali pa omvera.
Chichewa: A spell from God was upon the hearers.
English: Iwo ankaoneka kuti analibe mphamvu zochoka pamalopo
Chichewa: They seemed to have no power to leave the place.
English: Monga mivi yochokera kuphodo la Yehova, mawu a wokonzansoyo analasa mitima yawo. 
Chichewa: As arrows from the Lord’s quiver, the Reformer’s words pierced their hearts.
English: Mlandu wa mpatuko, umene iwo anamubweretsera iye, iye ndi mphamvu yokhutiritsa anabwerera pa iwo okha. 
Chichewa: The charge of heresy, which they had brought against him, he with convincing power threw back upon themselves.
English: Nanga n’cifukwa ciani analimba mtima kufalitsa zolakwa zao?
Chichewa: Why, he demanded, did they dare to spread their errors?
English: Kuti apeze phindu, anagulitsa cisomo ca Mulungu?“Muyesana ndi yani,” iye pomalizira pake anati, “mulimbana ndi ndani? Ndi munthu wokalamba ali m’
mphepete mwa manda?—Ayi! ndi chowonadi, chimene chili champhamvu kuposa inu, ndipo
chidzakulakani. Ndimo nanena, naturuka m’mbungano, ndimo palibe m’modzi wa otsutsana naye
anayesa kuletsa
Chichewa: For the sake of gain, to make merchandise of the grace of God? “With whom, think you,” he finally said, “are ye contending? with an old man on the brink of the grave? No! with Truth—Truth which is stronger than you, and will overcome you. So saying, he withdrew from the assembly, and not one of his adversaries attempted to prevent him.
English: Ntchito ya Wycliffe inali itatsala pang’ono kutha, mbendera ya choonadi imene ananyamula kwa nthawi yaitali inali itatsala pang’ono kugwa m’manja mwake; koma anayeneranso kuchita umboni wa Uthenga Wabwino. Choonadi chinayenera kulalikidwa kuchokera ku malo amphamvu kwambiri a ufumu wachinyengo. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe’s work was almost done; the banner of truth which he had so long borne was soon to fall from his hand; but once more he was to bear witness for the gospel. The 90 truth was to be proclaimed from the very stronghold of the kingdom of error.
English: Wycliffe anaitanidwa kuti akazengedwe mlandu ku khoti la apapa ku Roma, limene kaŵirikaŵiri linakhetsa mwazi wa oyera mtima. 
Chichewa: Wycliffe was summoned for trial before the papal tribunal at Rome, which had so often shed the blood of the saints.
English: Iye sankaona zoopsa zimene zinkamuopseza, komabe akanamvera mayitanidwewo, chikadapanda kuti kunjenjemera kwa ziwaloko kukanamulepheretsa kuyenda ulendowo.
Chichewa: He was not blind to the danger that threatened him, yet he would have obeyed the summons had not a shock of palsy made it impossible for him to perform the journey.
English: Koma ngakhale kuti liwu lake silinamveke ku Roma, iye anatha kulankhula ndi kalata, ndipo anatsimikiza kuchita zimenezi
Chichewa: But though his voice was not to be heard at Rome, he could speak by letter, and this he determined to do.
English: Kuchokera ku utsogoleri wake wokonzanso zinthuyo analembera papa kalata, imene, ngakhale kuti inali yaulemu m’mawu ndi yachikristu mumzimu, inali kudzudzula mwamphamvu kudzikuza ndi kunyada kwa apapa. 
Chichewa: From his rectory the Reformer wrote to the pope a letter, which, while respectful in tone and Christian in spirit, was a keen rebuke to the pomp and pride of the papal see.
English: “Indetu ndikondwera,” iye anatero, “kutsegula ndi kulengeza kwa munthu aliyense chikhulupiriro chimene ndili nacho, makamaka kwa bishopu waku Roma; chimene ine ndikuganiza kuti chiri cholondola ndi chowona, iye mofunitsitsa adzatsimikizira chikhulupiriro changa chonenedwacho, kapena ngati chiri cholakwa, achikonzenso chomwecho. 
Chichewa: “Verily I do rejoice,” he said, “to open and declare unto every man the faith which I do hold, and especially unto the bishop of Rome: which, forasmuch as I do suppose to be sound and true, he will most willingly confirm my said faith, or if it be erroneous, amend the same.
English: Choyamba, ine ndikukhulupirira kuti Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu ndi thupi lonse la chilamulo cha Mulungu…. Ndimapereka ndikugwira bishopu waku Roma, popeza iye ali wolowa mmalo wa Khristu pano pa dziko lapansi, kuti akhale womangidwa koposa anthu onse lamulo la Uthenga Wabwino. 
Chichewa: “First, I suppose that the gospel of Christ is the whole body of God’s law.... I do give and hold the bishop of Rome, forasmuch as he is the vicar of Christ here on earth, to be most bound, of all other men, unto that law of the gospel.
English: Pakuti ukulu wa ophunzira a Khristu sunakhale mu ulemu wadziko lapansi kapena ulemu, koma mukutsatira Khristu pafupi ndi ndendende mu moyo wake ndi makhalidwe ake.... Khristu pa nthawi ya ulendo wake wachipembedzo pano anali munthu wosauka kwambiri, wonyozeka ndi wotaya mtima. kulamulira dziko lonse lapansi ndi ulemu
Chichewa: For the greatness among Christ’s disciples did not consist in worldly dignity or honors, but in the near and exact following of Christ in His life and manners.... Christ, for the time of His pilgrimage here, was a most poor man, abjecting and casting off all worldly rule and honor....
English: “Palibe munthu wokhulupirika amene ayenera kutsatira papa iyemwini, kapena aliyense wa amuna oyera mtima, koma m’zimene iye watsatira Ambuye Yesu Kristu. Pakuti Petro ndi ana a Zebedayo, pofuna ulemu wa dziko lapansi, wotsutsana ndi mapazi a Kristu, adakhumudwa, ndipo chifukwa cha zolakwazo sayenera kutsatiridwa.“Papa ayenera kusiya ku ulamuliro wadziko ulamuliro wonse wanthawi ndi ulamuliro, ndipo kuteroko
asunthire ndi kulimbikitsa atsogoleri ake onse; pakuti Kristu anateronso, makamaka ndi atumwi ake
Chichewa: “No faithful man ought to follow either the pope himself or any of the holy men, but in such points as he hath followed the Lord Jesus Christ; for Peter and the sons of Zebedee, by desiring worldly honor, contrary to the following of Christ’s steps, did offend, and therefore in those errors they are not to be followed.... “The pope ought to leave unto the secular power all temporal dominion and rule, and thereunto effectually to move and exhort his whole clergy; for so did Christ, and especially by His apostles.
English: “Ngati ndalakwa m’zilizonse za mfundo zimenezi, ndidzagonjera modzichepetsa kuwongolera ngakhale imfa, ngati pakufunika kutero. Ngati ndikanatha kugwira ntchito molingana ndi chifuniro changa ndi chikhumbo changa mwa ine ndekha, ndithudi ndikanadziwonetsera ndekha pamaso pa bishopu waku Roma. Koma Ambuye wabwera kwa ine mosiyana ndi ine, ndipo wandiphunzitsa kumvera Mulungu koposa anthu
Chichewa: Wherefore, if I have erred in any of these points, I will most humbly submit myself unto correction,  even by death, if necessity so require; and if I could labor according to my will or desire in mine own person, I would surely present myself before the bishop of Rome; but the Lord hath otherwise visited me to the contrary, and hath taught me rather to obey God than men.”
