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 Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 Ŵasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Magungulo gali gamajinji nambo ŵakugungula ali kanandi. Nipele mwaŵende asyene ngunda kuti ŵatume ŵakugungula mu ngunda mwao.
‘The harvest,’ he said, ‘is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 Sambano njaulangane, mmanyilile kuti nguntuma ŵanyamwe mpela mwanangondolo pasikati masogo.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Ngasinjigala chilolo pane nsaku pane ilatu ine, nkankomasya mundu jwalijose mwitala.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Mwajinjilaga mu nyuumba jajili jose, mwakomasye yelei kaje, ‘Chitendewele chipagwe mu nyuumba ji!’
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Iŵaga chapagwe jwakunonyelwa ni chitendewele mwelemo, chitendewele chenu chichitame najo, nambo iŵaga ngapagwa jwachitendewele, chitendewele chichimbujile kukwenu sooni.
Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
7 Nlonjele pa nyuumba jo nchilyaga ni kung'wa yakumpanga, pakuŵa jwakupanganya masengo akuŵajilwa mbote. Ngasinsama nyuumba ji kwaula nyuumba jo.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Mwaikaga mmusi wauli wose ni kumpochela, nlyanje yaili yose yakumpa.
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 Mwalamye ŵandu ŵakulwala ŵaali kweleko, mwasalile, ‘Umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile kukwenu.’
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Nambo mwajinjilaga mmusi wauli wose ni akanaga kumpochela, ntyoche, nomwe pankupita mmatala gao nkajileje,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
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.’
“We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.”
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 that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of 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.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Nambo pa lyuŵa lya malamulo magambo genu chigaŵe gamakulungwa kupunda magambo ga ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
15 Ni mmwejo Kapelenaumu, ana nkuganisya kuti chinlikusye mpaka kwinani? Ngwamba chinchituluswa mpaka kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile.” (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung 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.”
Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.’
17 Kanyuma ŵakulijiganya sabini ŵausile achisengwaga, achitiji, “Ambuje, atamuno masoka gatujitichisye kwa liina lyenu.”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
18 Ŵelewo ŵaasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Nambweni Shetani yatiteje pakugwa mpela njasi kutyochela kwinani.
And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Elo, nampele ulamusi wa kuliŵata majoka ni makoloto ni ulamusi wa pachanya machili gose ga jwammagongo ni ngapagwa chindu chachili chose chakummenga.
Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
20 Nambo nkasechelelela ligongo lyakuti masoka ganjitichisye, nambo nsechelele ligongo lya meena genu galembikwe kwinani.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled 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 same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
22 Nipele ŵatite, “Atati ŵangu ambele une indu yose. Ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Mwana akaŵe Atati, ni Atati akaŵe Mwana, ni jwalijose jwakunsaka Mwana akumbunukulila.”
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.’
23 Nipele Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kuŵecheta nawo kwantemela kuti, “Nkwete upile ŵanyamwe kwakwiwona inkwiwona yi.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Ngunsalila kuti ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni mamwenye ŵasachile kwiwona inkwiwona ŵanyamwe nambo nganaiwona ni kupilikana inkwipilikana ŵanyamwe, nambo nganaipikana.”
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
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)
Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
26 Che Yesu ŵambusisye kuti, “Ana ilembechekwe chichi mu Malajisyo che Musa? Ana nkusyoma chichi mwelemo?”
‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
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.”
His reply was – ‘You must 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 your neighbour as you love yourself.’
28 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile uchenene! Ntendeje yeleyo, nomwe chinkole umi.”
‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
29 Nambo ŵelewo, ŵasachile kuliŵalanjila kuti akuchimanyilila chakuusya cho, ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana njangu jo ni ŵaani?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
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.
To which Jesus replied, ‘A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and 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.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Iyoyo peyo, Mlawi jumo paŵaiche pelepo ŵambweni, ni ŵasepwiche pambali ni kwaula.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Nambo Msamalia jumo juŵaliji muulendo ŵaiche pepala paŵaliji mundu jula, nombe paŵambweni ŵambonele chanasa.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with 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 bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and 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 silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Take care of him,” he said, “and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.”
36 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Mwa ŵele ŵatatu wo, ŵaani ŵalosisye kuti ali njakwe mundu juŵaputikwe ni ŵachiswamba?”
Now which, do you think, of these three men,’ asked Jesus, ‘proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?’
37 Jwakwiganya Malajisyo jula ŵajanjile, “Jwejula juŵankolele chanasa jula.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njaule nkatende iyoyo peyo.”
‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
38 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji muulendo, ŵaiche kunsinda umo ni jwankongwe jumo liina lyao che Masa ŵampochele kumangwao.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Che Masa ŵaliji ni mpwakwe liina lyao che Maliamu, jweleju ŵatemi chiŵandi ni Ambuje Che Yesu achipikanilaga majiganyo gao.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
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 the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, ‘Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.’
41 Nambo Ambuje ŵajanjile kuti, “Che Masa, che Masa, nkuchenjeuka ni kulisausya ni yejinji.
‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 Nambo chipali chindu chimo pe chachikusachikwa. Che Maliamu asagwile liunjili lyambone ni sooni ngapagwa mundu juchachityosye kukwakwe.”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.’
