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.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
2 Wakati kulimbabo, “Butebuzi mbunji loko, pesi babelesi mbache. Aboobo amukumbile kuli Leza wabutezi kuti atumine babelesi kumuunda wakwe.
Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the labourers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out labourers into his harvest.
3 Amwinke munzila yanu. Amulange ndamutuma mbuli mbelele akati kabawumpe.
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs amongst wolves.
4 Tamubwezi nkomwe yamali, tamubwezi zikwama, tamubwezi nsangu, mpawo tamujuzyi bantu munzila.
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimuyonjila, amukasangune akuti, “Luumuno alube aatala ang'and eeyi!'
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 Na kakuli muntu waluumuno aawo, luumuno lwenu luyokkala aalinguwe, pesi kuti kaatakwe, luyoobola kulindinywe.
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on 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.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
8 Kufumbwa dolopo ndimuyoonjila, bakamutambule, amukalye eezyo nzibatakamupe,
Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 mpawo mukasilike bachiswa aawo. Amukatedi kulmbabo, 'Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi andinywe.'
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10 Kufumbwa dolo[o ndimuyoonjila, bakakake kumutambula, amukayinke mumigwagwa mukatedi,
But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Nikuba lusuko lwamudolopo lyenu lwajatilila kumawulu eesu tulalukunkumuna kunembo lyenu! Pesi amuzibe eechi: Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi.'
‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
12 Ndamwaambila kuti nibwayoosika buzuba bwakubetekwa kuyoba mbubo ku Sodoma kwiinda eelyo dolopo.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
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 mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Pesi chiyoba mbubo ku Taya a Sidon kwiinda ndinywe.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgement than for you.
15 Iwe, Kkapenawuma, uyeeya kuti uzosumpwidwa kujulu na? Pepe, uzoboozegwa aansi ku Hadesi. (Hadēs g86)
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ooyo uyoomuswiilila waswiilila ndime, ayooyo uyoomukaka wakaka ndime, aboobo ooyo undikaka wakaka awakandituma.”
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 Aaba balimakumi musanu amakumi aabili nakaboola lkabali mulukondo, kabaamba kuti, “Mwami, abadayimona boonse bakali kutuswiilila muzina lyako.”
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18 Jesu wakasandula kati, “Ndalikweeba Satani kawa kuzwa kujulu mbuli kalabi.
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Amulange ndamupa manguzu aakulyata aatala anzoka atubanze, anguuzu zyoonse kwiinda zyasinkondonyokwe, alimwi taakwe nikuba muliili nzila chiyoomuchisa.
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Nikuliboobo tamukondwi loko kuli zeezi azilike, pesi amupakale nkaambo mazina aanu alembwa kujulu.”
Nevertheless, don’t 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 that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
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.”
Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
23 Mpawo wakachengunukila kuli basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wabaambila chansiswa kuti, “Balilongezezegwe aabo babona nzimubona.
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that 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 tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
25 Amulange umwi muyiisyi wamilawu yachi Juda, wakanyampuka kayanda kumusunka, wakati, “Muyiisyi, niinzi nchenga ndilachita kuti ndijane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Kulembedwe kutyeni mumulawu? Muubala biyeni?”
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.”
He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.”
28 Jesu wakatgu kulinguwe, “Wasandula kabotu. Zichite eei ulapona.”
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 he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbour?”
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 answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell amongst robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Muchoolwe umwi mupayizi wakalikuyabweenda anzila njiyeeyo, mpawo naakamubona, wakiimnda mbali.
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Alubo mu Levi alakwe, nakasika aawo wamubona, wakiinda mbali.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 Pesi umwi mu Samaliya, wakali mulweendo lwakwe alakwe, wakasika aawo mpaakabede. Naakamubona wakamufwida luzyalo.
But a certain Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 Wakaswena aafwiifwi wamwaanga zilonda, akumutila mafuta awayini aazilonda. Wakamutansika aamunyama wakwe mpawo wamutola kung'anda yabeenzu, kuyomubamba.
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Nibwakacha wakagwisya maseleni aabili, wapa mwani muunzi mpawo wakati, “Mubambe alimwi zyoonse nzuyoobelesya kwiinda aawa, ndaboola ndizokuliya.'
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
36 Ngwani akati kabaaba batatu, ngumunga mulayeeya kuti, ngosimabambanwa kuli ooyo pwakawumwa abasikubba?”
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbour to him who fell amongst the robbers?”
37 Muyiisyi wakati, “Ooyo wakamutondeezya luzyalo.” Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Koya ukachite mbubo ayebo.”
He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Lino nibakali kuyobweenda wakanjila mulilimwi gunzi, mpawo umwi mwanakazi uutegwa ngu Malita wakamutambula mung'anda.
As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 Wakali amwana wakwabo walikutegwa ngi Meli, ooyo wakakkala kumawu a Mwami akumvwa jwi lyakwe.
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard 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.”
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
41 Pesi Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Malita, Malita, uli aakulikataazya azintu zyiingi,
Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 pesi nchintu chomwe biyo chiyandikana. Meli wasala chibotu loko kwiindilila alimwi tachikwe nayoochinyanzigwa pe.”
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
