Matthew 10
1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Jesu hasupa balutwana vakwe bonse vena ikumi ni vovele, mi cha vaha ziho za ku kalimela ihuho imbi, ni kuzi laela kuzwa, ni ku hoza matuku, ni mi fokolo yose.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
Lyahanu mazina a valutwana vena ikumi ni vovele nji: We ntanzi, Sayimoni yo sumpwa Pitorosi, ni mwachakwe Andreyasi; Jakovo mwan'a Zevediya, ni mwachakwe Joani;
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
Filipi, ni Vartolome; Tomasi, ni Mateu mulihisi wa mitelo; Jakovo mwan'a Alufeya, ni Tadeya;
4 Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Sayimoni yo kanana, ni Judasi Isikariyote, muwuzi wa Jesu.
5 Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
Aava vena ikumi ni vo vele Jesu cha va tuma. Cha va layela kuti, “Sanzi va yendi kuzivaka za Machava, mi sanzi mwi njili mwi Tolopo ihi ya Masamariya;
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Kono muyende kwi Ngu zi zovete ze zunvo ya Isilaele.
7 As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
Mi chi muyenda, mukutaze ni muuti, “Mubuso wa kwiwulu chiwina hafuhi.”
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
Mu hoze valwele, mu vuuse vafwile, mu hooze imbingwa, mu hindike madimona. Mu vahewa bulyo, muhe vulyo.
9 Do not take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
Sanzi mu hindi gauda, ni silivera, kapa mashelenyi mu mikotana yenu;
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
Sanzi muhindi mikotana ya zizwato mu misipil yenu, kapa zimwi zizwato, kapa isangu, kapa inkoli, kakuti muveleki u swanelwa zilyo zakwe.
11 Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.
Muleneñi uhi no uhi kapa munzi u mwi njila mwateni, mu buuze yo swanela mwikale mwateni; mwi kale mwateni konji chi mwa funduka.
12 As you enter into the household, greet it.
Chi mwi njila muzuvo, mu ilumelise.
13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Heva inzuvo iiswanela, musiye inkozo yenu ishale mwateni; kono heva kayi swaneli, musiye inkozo yenu i voole kwenu.
14 Whoever does not receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
Kwabo vasena vava mitambuli kapa kutekeleza liinzwi lyenu, ha mu nyamuka kuzwa muzuvo ya vo kapa mu Muleneñi, mu kunkumune imbundu ya ku matende yenu.
15 Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Che niti ni ta kwenu: Mu ve ni chisemo chihitilize mwi Nkanda ya Sodoma ni Gomora mwi zuva lye nkatulo kuhita lyowo muleneñi.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Mu vone, ni mi tuma sina Ngu zina mukati ka Valuwawa, muve vena maano sina nzoka mi mu ve sina va sena maano sina Nkwilimba.
17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
Mu tokomele Vantu! Mu va mitwale havusu bwa va zekisi, mi ka va mishupe mu zivaka za malapelelo avo.
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Mi ka muletwe ha vuusu bwa Mangambela ni va Simwine vakeni changu, kuti mu ve ni vupaki kuvali ni ku Machava.
19 But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
Chini vati chiva mi kwatisa, sanzi ni mu katazehi kuti ka mu wambe inzi, kakuti cheti ni mu wambe ka mu chihewa mwe yeyeyo inako.
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Ka kuti keti niyi kuvele unwe mu wamba mi kayi kuvele Luhuho lwe Shenu lweti ni lu ku waamba mweenu.
21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
Muntu mwa kwatise mukwakwe kwifu, mi muzazi a kwatise mwan'a kwe. Vaana mubalwise vazazi va vo, mi va va letele kufwa.
22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
Mu va mitoye vakeñi che zina lyangu. Mi yata sike ku ma manimani, uzo muuntu mwa puluswe.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
Chi va minyandise bulyo mu Muleneñi, muyende ku mwi ku Muleneñi, Initi ni wamba kuti, ke se mu mane Mileneñi yoose ye Isilaele pili Mwana Muntu na seni kusika.
24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
Mulutwana kahiti Muluti wa kwe, kapa mutanga kuhita Nfumwe.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
Ku swanela kuti mulutwana a swane ni muluti wa kwe, ni mutanga ni Nfumwe. Heba vasumpa mukulwana we nzuvo Beelzebule, ka kuve vule venzuvo ya kwe chi va nyasilizwa!
26 Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Linu sanzi mu va tiyi; kakuti kakwina chifupikitwe chi se chi shale ni chi fupikitwe mi ka kwina chipatitwe chi se chipale kwi zibwa.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Chi ni mi wambila mwififi, mu chi wambe mwiseli; mi chi muzuwa mu matwi yenu, mu chi wambe mpatalaza ku Vantu.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Sanzi mu tiyi Vantu ve haya muvili; kono ka va woli kwi haya luhuho. Insini, mu tiye ve haya zoose luhuho ni muvili mwi hele. (Geenna g1067)
29 “Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
Heva, tutiti to vele twina heteko ye peene yoke? Kanti ka kwina katiti, niheva konke, ka wila hansi Ireeza wenu na se zivi.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Ni heva nsuki za ku mitwi yenu zibalitwe zoose.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Sanzi mutiyi. Mu va vu tokwa kuhita tutiti tungi.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
Muntu ye se yo wamba nzina lyangu ku Vantu, name kani muwambi kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Kono yo ni sampula ku vantu, name, kani mu sampule kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
34 “Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Sanzi muhupuli kuti ni valete inkozo mwi kaanda. Kena ni va leti inkozo, kono mulinga.
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Cwale ni va kezi kwiza kufapanya muntu ni veesi, mi mwnakana ni nyiina, mi mukwenyani wa mwana kazana ni nyinazaala.
36 A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
Muntu zilazakwe, mu va ve, venzubo yakwe.
37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
I ye yo saka Sii kapa Nyina kuhitiliza mwani sakila, ka ni swaneli. Mi yo saka mwan'akwame kapa mwan'akazana kuhitiliza kani swaneli.
38 He who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
I ye ya sa hindi chifapano cha kwe ni ku ni chilila ka ni swaneli. Yo tokomela vuhalo bwa kwe mwa vu sinyehelwe.
39 He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Kono yo sinyehelwa vuhalo vwa kwe vakeñi cangu, mwa vuwane.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
Yo mi tambula, u tambula ime, mi yoni tambula ime u tambula yoni tumite.
41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
I ye yo tambula mupolofita kakuti mupolofita ka wane mpo ya vupolofita. Mi yo tambula muntu yo shiyeme vakeñi cha kuta kuti muntu yo shiyeme ka wane mpo ya kushiyama.
42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
Ye nse yoha ku muntu munini menzi a kuñwa a tontola, chevaka lya kuwamba kuti mulutwana, ni mi wambila kuti, ka kwina mwi se na kangilwe ku wana mpo ya kwe.”
