Lukka 10
1 Lino musule azyoonse eezi, Mwami wakasala bambi basika makkumi mousanu amakumi aabili, [amwi malembe manji achiindi aamba kuti makumi usanu aabili pesi amwi ati makumi musanu ababili] mpawo wakabatuma babili babili, kunembo lyakwe kumadolopo woonse ngakalangilide kwiinda mulingawo.
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 Wakati kulimbabo, “Butebuzi mbunji loko, pesi babelesi mbache. Aboobo amukumbile kuli Leza wabutezi kuti atumine babelesi kumuunda wakwe.
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 Amwinke munzila yanu. Amulange ndamutuma mbuli mbelele akati kabawumpe.
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Tamubwezi nkomwe yamali, tamubwezi zikwama, tamubwezi nsangu, mpawo tamujuzyi bantu munzila.
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimuyonjila, amukasangune akuti, “Luumuno alube aatala ang'and eeyi!'
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 Na kakuli muntu waluumuno aawo, luumuno lwenu luyokkala aalinguwe, pesi kuti kaatakwe, luyoobola kulindinywe.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 Amukakkale mung'anda eeyo kamulya akunywa eezyo nzibayoomupa, nkaambo mubelesi uleelede mufolo walkwe. Tamukeendi kuzwa kulimwi ng'anda kuya kuliimbi.
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 Kufumbwa dolopo ndimuyoonjila, bakamutambule, amukalye eezyo nzibatakamupe,
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 mpawo mukasilike bachiswa aawo. Amukatedi kulmbabo, 'Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi andinywe.'
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 Kufumbwa dolo[o ndimuyoonjila, bakakake kumutambula, amukayinke mumigwagwa mukatedi,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 'Nikuba lusuko lwamudolopo lyenu lwajatilila kumawulu eesu tulalukunkumuna kunembo lyenu! Pesi amuzibe eechi: Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi.'
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 Ndamwaambila kuti nibwayoosika buzuba bwakubetekwa kuyoba mbubo ku Sodoma kwiinda eelyo dolopo.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 Mapenzi kulinduwe, Kkolazini! Mapenzi kulinduwe, Bbetisayida! Na milimu mipati yakachitwa mulindinywe yakali yachitwa mu Taya amu Sidon, nibanga bakasanduka chiindi loko, kabakkede muzizwato zyamasaka akulinana dota.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 Pesi chiyoba mbubo ku Taya a Sidon kwiinda ndinywe.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 Iwe, Kkapenawuma, uyeeya kuti uzosumpwidwa kujulu na? Pepe, uzoboozegwa aansi ku Hadesi. (Hadēs g86)
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ooyo uyoomuswiilila waswiilila ndime, ayooyo uyoomukaka wakaka ndime, aboobo ooyo undikaka wakaka awakandituma.”
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 Aaba balimakumi musanu amakumi aabili nakaboola lkabali mulukondo, kabaamba kuti, “Mwami, abadayimona boonse bakali kutuswiilila muzina lyako.”
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 Jesu wakasandula kati, “Ndalikweeba Satani kawa kuzwa kujulu mbuli kalabi.
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 Amulange ndamupa manguzu aakulyata aatala anzoka atubanze, anguuzu zyoonse kwiinda zyasinkondonyokwe, alimwi taakwe nikuba muliili nzila chiyoomuchisa.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Nikuliboobo tamukondwi loko kuli zeezi azilike, pesi amupakale nkaambo mazina aanu alembwa kujulu.”
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Kuchiindi nchincheecho wakabotelwa loko mu Muuya Uusalala, mpawo wakati, “Ndakutembawula, Taata, Mwami wa julu anyika, nkaambo wakasisa zikntu eezi kulibasibusongo akumvwisisisya, mpawo waziyubununa kuli aabo batayisizigwe, mbuli bana baniini. Iyii, Taata, kakuliboobo chalikubotezya kubusyu bwako.”
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 Zintu zyoonse zyapegwa kulindime kuzwa kuli Taata, alimwi taakwe uuzi Mwana kuti ngwani kunze kwa Taata, mpawo taakwe uuzi kuti Taata ngwani kunze kwa Mwana akuli wooyo Mwana ngasala kuybunwida.”
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 Mpawo wakachengunukila kuli basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wabaambila chansiswa kuti, “Balilongezezegwe aabo babona nzimubona.
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 Ndati kulindinywe, kuli basinsimi biingi bakali aachiyandsyo chakubona nzimubona, pesi taakwe nibakazibona pe, akumvwa zintu nzimumvwa, pesi, taakwe nibakazimvwa pe.
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 Amulange umwi muyiisyi wamilawu yachi Juda, wakanyampuka kayanda kumusunka, wakati, “Muyiisyi, niinzi nchenga ndilachita kuti ndijane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Kulembedwe kutyeni mumulawu? Muubala biyeni?”
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 Naakasandula wakati, “Yanda Mwami Leza wako amoyo wako woonse, amuuya wako woonse, anguzu zyako zyoonse, akuyeeya kwako koonse, mpawo uyande simabambanwa wako mbuli mbmoliyanda omwini.”
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 Jesu wakatgu kulinguwe, “Wasandula kabotu. Zichite eei ulapona.”
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 Pesi muyiisyi ooyu, nakalikweezya kulilwanina wakabuzya lubo kuli Jesu wati, “Animpo simabambanwa wangu ngwani?”
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Kalikumusandula Jesu wakati, “Umwi mwaalumi wakalikuyabuselela kazwa ku Jelusalema katozya ku Jelikko, wakaswaana babbi bakamubbida zintu zyakwe, mpawo bakamuuma bamusiya kali waamba kufwa.
Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 Muchoolwe umwi mupayizi wakalikuyabweenda anzila njiyeeyo, mpawo naakamubona, wakiimnda mbali.
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 Alubo mu Levi alakwe, nakasika aawo wamubona, wakiinda mbali.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 Pesi umwi mu Samaliya, wakali mulweendo lwakwe alakwe, wakasika aawo mpaakabede. Naakamubona wakamufwida luzyalo.
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 Wakaswena aafwiifwi wamwaanga zilonda, akumutila mafuta awayini aazilonda. Wakamutansika aamunyama wakwe mpawo wamutola kung'anda yabeenzu, kuyomubamba.
And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 Nibwakacha wakagwisya maseleni aabili, wapa mwani muunzi mpawo wakati, “Mubambe alimwi zyoonse nzuyoobelesya kwiinda aawa, ndaboola ndizokuliya.'
And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 Ngwani akati kabaaba batatu, ngumunga mulayeeya kuti, ngosimabambanwa kuli ooyo pwakawumwa abasikubba?”
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 Muyiisyi wakati, “Ooyo wakamutondeezya luzyalo.” Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Koya ukachite mbubo ayebo.”
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 Lino nibakali kuyobweenda wakanjila mulilimwi gunzi, mpawo umwi mwanakazi uutegwa ngu Malita wakamutambula mung'anda.
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 Wakali amwana wakwabo walikutegwa ngi Meli, ooyo wakakkala kumawu a Mwami akumvwa jwi lyakwe.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 Pesi Malita wakalijisinkini loko akubakutawukila kuti abape chakulya. Wakasika kuli Jesu wati, “Mwami, tokubwene na kuti mwanakesu wandilekelezya kuti ndibeleke endike? Mwaambile asike azoondoigwasye.”
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 Pesi Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Malita, Malita, uli aakulikataazya azintu zyiingi,
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 pesi nchintu chomwe biyo chiyandikana. Meli wasala chibotu loko kwiindilila alimwi tachikwe nayoochinyanzigwa pe.”
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
