< Luka 10 >

1 Pagamasile gelego, Ambuje ŵaasagwile ŵakulijiganya sabini na mbili. Ni ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵaŵili ŵalongolele paujo pao pa misinda jilijose ni kulikose kuŵasachile nsyene kwaula.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
2 Ŵasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Magungulo gali gamajinji nambo ŵakugungula ali kanandi. Nipele mwaŵende asyene ngunda kuti ŵatume ŵakugungula mu ngunda mwao.
And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
3 Sambano njaulangane, mmanyilile kuti nguntuma ŵanyamwe mpela mwanangondolo pasikati masogo.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Ngasinjigala chilolo pane nsaku pane ilatu ine, nkankomasya mundu jwalijose mwitala.
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5 Mwajinjilaga mu nyuumba jajili jose, mwakomasye yelei kaje, ‘Chitendewele chipagwe mu nyuumba ji!’
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 Iŵaga chapagwe jwakunonyelwa ni chitendewele mwelemo, chitendewele chenu chichitame najo, nambo iŵaga ngapagwa jwachitendewele, chitendewele chichimbujile kukwenu sooni.
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7 Nlonjele pa nyuumba jo nchilyaga ni kung'wa yakumpanga, pakuŵa jwakupanganya masengo akuŵajilwa mbote. Ngasinsama nyuumba ji kwaula nyuumba jo.
Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
8 Mwaikaga mmusi wauli wose ni kumpochela, nlyanje yaili yose yakumpa.
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9 Mwalamye ŵandu ŵakulwala ŵaali kweleko, mwasalile, ‘Umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile kukwenu.’
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10 Nambo mwajinjilaga mmusi wauli wose ni akanaga kumpochela, ntyoche, nomwe pankupita mmatala gao nkajileje,
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
11 ‘Atamuno luundu lwa pamusi wenu lwalunyambatile pa sajo syetu, tukumpatila ŵanyamwe kulosya kuti mwachinsyene nsagwile kuukana utenga wa Akunnungu. Nambo, mmanyilile kuti, umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile.’
‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’
12 Ngunsalila kuti, pa lyuŵa lya malamulo magambo ga ŵandu wa musi wo chigaŵe gamakulungwa kupunda magambo ga ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma.
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, ku Kolasini! Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, ku Besesaida! Pakuŵa, iŵaga yakusimosya iyatendekwe kukwenu, ikatendekwe ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni kula, ŵandu ŵa kwele kalakala pe akatemi paliu ali atakwile magunia ni kulitaga liu muntwe kulosya kuti alesile sambi syao.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Nambo pa lyuŵa lya malamulo magambo genu chigaŵe gamakulungwa kupunda magambo ga ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 Ni mmwejo Kapelenaumu, ana nkuganisya kuti chinlikusye mpaka kwinani? Ngwamba chinchituluswa mpaka kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile.” (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)
16 Nipele Che Yesu ŵapundile kwasalila ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Jwakumpilikana ŵanyamwe, akumbilikana une, jwakumpochela ŵanyamwe akumbochela une. Ni jwalijose jwakukana kumbochela une, akwakana ŵandumile une.”
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
17 Kanyuma ŵakulijiganya sabini ŵausile achisengwaga, achitiji, “Ambuje, atamuno masoka gatujitichisye kwa liina lyenu.”
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18 Ŵelewo ŵaasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Nambweni Shetani yatiteje pakugwa mpela njasi kutyochela kwinani.
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Elo, nampele ulamusi wa kuliŵata majoka ni makoloto ni ulamusi wa pachanya machili gose ga jwammagongo ni ngapagwa chindu chachili chose chakummenga.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
20 Nambo nkasechelelela ligongo lyakuti masoka ganjitichisye, nambo nsechelele ligongo lya meena genu galembikwe kwinani.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Katema kakoko peko, Che Yesu ŵasangalele kwa ulamusi wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵatite, “Nguntogolela Atati, Ambuje ŵa kwinani ni chilambo, pakuŵa mwasisile yelei ŵa lunda ni ŵa umanyilisi ni kwaunukulila ŵanache. Elo, Atati, pakuŵa yeleyi ni yaitite pakunnonyela.”
At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
22 Nipele ŵatite, “Atati ŵangu ambele une indu yose. Ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Mwana akaŵe Atati, ni Atati akaŵe Mwana, ni jwalijose jwakunsaka Mwana akumbunukulila.”
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kuŵecheta nawo kwantemela kuti, “Nkwete upile ŵanyamwe kwakwiwona inkwiwona yi.
Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 Ngunsalila kuti ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni mamwenye ŵasachile kwiwona inkwiwona ŵanyamwe nambo nganaiwona ni kupilikana inkwipilikana ŵanyamwe, nambo nganaipikana.”
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
25 Kanyuma, jwakwiganya Malajisyo jumo ŵajimi ni kwausya Che Yesu kwa kwalinga achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, ana ndende chichi pakuti ngole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Che Yesu ŵambusisye kuti, “Ana ilembechekwe chichi mu Malajisyo che Musa? Ana nkusyoma chichi mwelemo?”
“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27 Ŵajanjile, “Mwanonyele Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu ni ntima wenu wose ni uumi wenu wose ni machili genu gose ni umanyilisi wenu wose ni njenu mpela mwasyene.”
He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile uchenene! Ntendeje yeleyo, nomwe chinkole umi.”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29 Nambo ŵelewo, ŵasachile kuliŵalanjila kuti akuchimanyilila chakuusya cho, ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana njangu jo ni ŵaani?”
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwapali mundu jumo jwaŵaumilaga ku Yelusalemu kutuluchila ku Yeliko. Paŵaliji mwitala, ŵasimene ŵachiswamba ni ŵambusile iwalo yakwe ni kumputa ni ŵatyosile ni kunneka achiŵandichilaga kuwa.
Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Pangalolela, jwambopesi jumo ŵaliji nkupita mulamula mwitala mula, nambo paŵambweni ni ŵasepwiche pambali ni kwaula.
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Iyoyo peyo, Mlawi jumo paŵaiche pelepo ŵambweni, ni ŵasepwiche pambali ni kwaula.
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 Nambo Msamalia jumo juŵaliji muulendo ŵaiche pepala paŵaliji mundu jula, nombe paŵambweni ŵambonele chanasa.
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 Nipele, ŵanjaulile, ŵagajosisye maŵanga gao kwa mauta ni divai ni kugataŵa maŵanga, paŵamasile kutenda yeleyo ŵanjigele pa chinyama chakwe, ni ŵanjawisye kukwalwasya mu nyuumba ja achalendo.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Malaŵi jakwe ŵatyosisye lupia siŵili sya mbiya, ŵampele jwakujigosa nyuumba jila ni ŵansalile kuti, ‘Munlwasye mundu ju ni chachili chose chachichipunde kwa jweleju, chinjilipila une pachimuje.’”
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Mwa ŵele ŵatatu wo, ŵaani ŵalosisye kuti ali njakwe mundu juŵaputikwe ni ŵachiswamba?”
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 Jwakwiganya Malajisyo jula ŵajanjile, “Jwejula juŵankolele chanasa jula.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule nkatende iyoyo peyo.”
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji muulendo, ŵaiche kunsinda umo ni jwankongwe jumo liina lyao che Masa ŵampochele kumangwao.
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 Che Masa ŵaliji ni mpwakwe liina lyao che Maliamu, jweleju ŵatemi chiŵandi ni Ambuje Che Yesu achipikanilaga majiganyo gao.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 Nambo che Masa ŵaliji nkuchenjeuka ni masengo gamajinji. Nipele ŵajaulile Che Yesu kukwasalila achitiji, “Ambuje, ana ngankulola kuti apwanga anesile une mbanganye masengo jika? Mwasalile aiche kukungamusya.”
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
41 Nambo Ambuje ŵajanjile kuti, “Che Masa, che Masa, nkuchenjeuka ni kulisausya ni yejinji.
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42 Nambo chipali chindu chimo pe chachikusachikwa. Che Maliamu asagwile liunjili lyambone ni sooni ngapagwa mundu juchachityosye kukwakwe.”
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
