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.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy other disciples, and sent them in pairs to every town and place that he planned to visit.
2 Wakati kulimbabo, “Butebuzi mbunji loko, pesi babelesi mbache. Aboobo amukumbile kuli Leza wabutezi kuti atumine babelesi kumuunda wakwe.
“The harvest is large, but the number of workers is small,” he told them. “Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers to his harvest fields.
3 Amwinke munzila yanu. Amulange ndamutuma mbuli mbelele akati kabawumpe.
So get on your way: I'm sending you like sheep among wolves.
4 Tamubwezi nkomwe yamali, tamubwezi zikwama, tamubwezi nsangu, mpawo tamujuzyi bantu munzila.
Don't take any money or a bag or extra sandals, and don't spend time chatting with people you meet.
5 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimuyonjila, amukasangune akuti, “Luumuno alube aatala ang'and eeyi!'
Whatever house you enter, first of all say, ‘May this house have peace.’
6 Na kakuli muntu waluumuno aawo, luumuno lwenu luyokkala aalinguwe, pesi kuti kaatakwe, luyoobola kulindinywe.
If there's a peaceful person living there, then your peace will rest on them; 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.
Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for a worker deserves to be paid. Don't go from house to house.
8 Kufumbwa dolopo ndimuyoonjila, bakamutambule, amukalye eezyo nzibatakamupe,
If you enter a town and the people there welcome you, then eat what's set before you
9 mpawo mukasilike bachiswa aawo. Amukatedi kulmbabo, 'Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi andinywe.'
and heal those who are sick. Tell them, ‘God's kingdom has come to you.’
10 Kufumbwa dolo[o ndimuyoonjila, bakakake kumutambula, amukayinke mumigwagwa mukatedi,
But if you enter a town and the people there don't welcome you, go through their streets telling them,
11 'Nikuba lusuko lwamudolopo lyenu lwajatilila kumawulu eesu tulalukunkumuna kunembo lyenu! Pesi amuzibe eechi: Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi.'
‘We are wiping off even the dust from your town that clings to our feet to show you our disapproval. But you should recognize this: God's kingdom has come.’
12 Ndamwaambila kuti nibwayoosika buzuba bwakubetekwa kuyoba mbubo ku Sodoma kwiinda eelyo dolopo.
I tell you, in the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than for such a town.
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.
Shame on you Korazin! Shame on you Bethsaida! For if the miracles you saw happen had happened in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented a long time ago, and they would be sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Pesi chiyoba mbubo ku Taya a Sidon kwiinda ndinywe.
That's why in the judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
15 Iwe, Kkapenawuma, uyeeya kuti uzosumpwidwa kujulu na? Pepe, uzoboozegwa aansi ku Hadesi. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, you won't be exalted to heaven; you will go down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ooyo uyoomuswiilila waswiilila ndime, ayooyo uyoomukaka wakaka ndime, aboobo ooyo undikaka wakaka awakandituma.”
Anyone who hears you hears me, and anyone who rejects you rejects me. But anyone who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
17 Aaba balimakumi musanu amakumi aabili nakaboola lkabali mulukondo, kabaamba kuti, “Mwami, abadayimona boonse bakali kutuswiilila muzina lyako.”
The seventy disciples returned in great excitement, saying, “Lord, even the demons do what we tell them in your name!”
18 Jesu wakasandula kati, “Ndalikweeba Satani kawa kuzwa kujulu mbuli kalabi.
Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Amulange ndamupa manguzu aakulyata aatala anzoka atubanze, anguuzu zyoonse kwiinda zyasinkondonyokwe, alimwi taakwe nikuba muliili nzila chiyoomuchisa.
Yes, I have given you power to tread on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the enemy's strength, and nothing will harm you.
20 Nikuliboobo tamukondwi loko kuli zeezi azilike, pesi amupakale nkaambo mazina aanu alembwa kujulu.”
But don't take delight that the spirits do what you tell them—just be glad 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.”
At that moment Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you hid these things from the wise and clever people and revealed them to children! Yes, Father, you were pleased to do it in this way.
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.”
My Father has handed over everything to me. No one understands the Son except the Father, and no one understands the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Mpawo wakachengunukila kuli basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wabaambila chansiswa kuti, “Balilongezezegwe aabo babona nzimubona.
When they were by themselves Jesus turned to the disciples and told them, “Those who see what you're seeing should be really happy!
24 Ndati kulindinywe, kuli basinsimi biingi bakali aachiyandsyo chakubona nzimubona, pesi taakwe nibakazibona pe, akumvwa zintu nzimumvwa, pesi, taakwe nibakazimvwa pe.
I tell you, many prophets and kings have wanted to see what you're seeing, but they didn't see, and wanted to hear the things you're hearing, but didn't hear.”
25 Amulange umwi muyiisyi wamilawu yachi Juda, wakanyampuka kayanda kumusunka, wakati, “Muyiisyi, niinzi nchenga ndilachita kuti ndijane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
Once an expert in religious law stood up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “What do I have to do to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Kulembedwe kutyeni mumulawu? Muubala biyeni?”
“What is written in the law? How do you read it?” asked Jesus.
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.”
“You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and your whole spirit, and your whole strength, and your whole mind; and love your neighbor as yourself,” the man replied.
28 Jesu wakatgu kulinguwe, “Wasandula kabotu. Zichite eei ulapona.”
“You're right,” Jesus told him. “Do this, and you will live.”
29 Pesi muyiisyi ooyu, nakalikweezya kulilwanina wakabuzya lubo kuli Jesu wati, “Animpo simabambanwa wangu ngwani?”
But the man wanted to vindicate himself, so he asked 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.
Jesus replied, saying, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers who stripped him and beat him, and left him for dead.
31 Muchoolwe umwi mupayizi wakalikuyabweenda anzila njiyeeyo, mpawo naakamubona, wakiimnda mbali.
It so happened that a priest was going the same way. He saw the man, but he passed by on the other side of the road.
32 Alubo mu Levi alakwe, nakasika aawo wamubona, wakiinda mbali.
Then a Levite came along. But when he got to the place and saw the man, he also passed by on the other side.
33 Pesi umwi mu Samaliya, wakali mulweendo lwakwe alakwe, wakasika aawo mpaakabede. Naakamubona wakamufwida luzyalo.
Finally a Samaritan man came along. As he passed by, he saw the man and felt sorry for him.
34 Wakaswena aafwiifwi wamwaanga zilonda, akumutila mafuta awayini aazilonda. Wakamutansika aamunyama wakwe mpawo wamutola kung'anda yabeenzu, kuyomubamba.
He went over and treated the man's wounds with oil and wine, and bandaged them. Then he placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he took care of him.
35 Nibwakacha wakagwisya maseleni aabili, wapa mwani muunzi mpawo wakati, “Mubambe alimwi zyoonse nzuyoobelesya kwiinda aawa, ndaboola ndizokuliya.'
The next day he gave two denarii to the innkeeper and told him, ‘Take care of him, and if you spend more than this, I'll pay you back when I return.’
36 Ngwani akati kabaaba batatu, ngumunga mulayeeya kuti, ngosimabambanwa kuli ooyo pwakawumwa abasikubba?”
Which one of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by robbers?”
37 Muyiisyi wakati, “Ooyo wakamutondeezya luzyalo.” Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Koya ukachite mbubo ayebo.”
“The one who showed him kindness,” the man replied. “Go and do the same,” Jesus told him.
38 Lino nibakali kuyobweenda wakanjila mulilimwi gunzi, mpawo umwi mwanakazi uutegwa ngu Malita wakamutambula mung'anda.
While they were on their way, Jesus arrived at a village, and a woman called Martha invited him to her home.
39 Wakali amwana wakwabo walikutegwa ngi Meli, ooyo wakakkala kumawu a Mwami akumvwa jwi lyakwe.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.
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.”
Martha was concerned about all that needed to be done to prepare the meal, so she came to Jesus and said, “Master, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
41 Pesi Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Malita, Malita, uli aakulikataazya azintu zyiingi,
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you're worried and upset about all this.
42 pesi nchintu chomwe biyo chiyandikana. Meli wasala chibotu loko kwiindilila alimwi tachikwe nayoochinyanzigwa pe.”
But only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
