Luke 10
1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.
Baada ya hayo, Bwana aliwachagua wengine sabini na wawili, akawatuma wawiliwawili, wamtangulie katika kila kijiji na mahali ambapo yeye mwenyewe alitaka kwenda.
2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed [is] great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.
Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache. Kwa hivyo, mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.
3 Go: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
Sasa nendeni; fahamuni kwamba ninawatuma ninyi kama kondoo wanaokwenda kati ya mbwa mwitu.
4 Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.
Msichukue mfuko wa fedha, mkoba, wala viatu; msimsalimu mtu yeyote njiani.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.
Mkiingia katika nyumba yoyote, kwanza wasalimuni hivi: Amani iwe katika nyumba hii!
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.
Kama akiwako mwenye kupenda amani, amani yenu itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudieni.
7 And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
Kaeni katika nyumba hiyo mkila na kunywa wanavyowapeni, maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msiende mara nyumba hii mara nyumba ile.
8 And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
Kama mkifika mji fulani na watu wakiwakaribisha, kuleni wanavyowapeni.
9 and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
Ponyeni wagonjwa walioko huko, waambieni watu: Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia kwenu.
10 But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
Lakini mkiingia katika mji wowote, wasipowakaribisheni, tokeni; nanyi mpitapo katika barabara zao semeni:
11 Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.
Hata mavumbi ya mji wenu yaliyoshikamana na miguu yetu tunawakung'utieni. Lakini, jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.
12 I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
Hakika nawaambieni, siku ile mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Sodoma.
13 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
“Ole wako Korazini! Ole wako Bethsaida! Maana, kama miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifanyika kule Tiro na Sidoni, watu wake wangalikwishavaa mavazi ya gunia kitambo, na kukaa katika majivu kuonyesha kwamba wametubu.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
Hata hivyo, Siku ya Hukumu ninyi mtapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Tiro na Sidoni.
15 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. (Hadēs g86)
Na wewe Kafarnaumu, unataka kujikweza mpaka mbinguni? La; utaporomoshwa mpaka Kuzimu.” (Hadēs g86)
16 He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
Halafu akasema, “Anayewasikiliza ninyi, ananisikiliza mimi; na anayekataa kuwapokea ninyi, anakataa kunipokea mimi. Yeyote anayekataa kunipokea, anakataa kumpokea yule aliyenituma.”
17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
Baadaye, wale sabini na wawili walirudi wamejaa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata pepo wametutii tulipolitaja jina lako.”
18 And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.
Yeye akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani jinsi alivyokuwa anaporomoka kama umeme kutoka mbinguni.
19 Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.
Naam, nimewapeni uwezo wa kukanyaga nyoka na ng'e, na uwezo juu ya nguvu zote za yule adui; hakuna chochote kitakachowadhuru.
20 Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.
Hata hivyo, msifurahi kwa sababu pepo wamewatii, bali furahini kwa sababu majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
21 In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Saa ileile, Yesu akafurahi kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu, akasema, “Nakushukuru ee Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa kuwa umewaficha wenye hekima na elimu mambo haya, ukawafumbulia wadogo. Naam, Baba, ndivyo ilivyokupendeza.”
22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal [him].
Kisha akasema, “Baba yangu ameweka yote mikononi mwangu. Hakuna amjuaye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, wala amjuaye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na yeyote yule ambaye Mwana anataka kumfunulia hayo.”
23 And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.
Halafu akawaelekea wafuasi wake akawaambia, “Heri wanaoona yale mnayoyaona ninyi!
24 For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear [them].
Hakika, manabii na wafalme walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona ninyi wasiyaone, na kusikia yale mnayoyasikia wasiyasikie.”
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
Baadaye mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria alisimama akamwuliza akitaka kumtega, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini ili nipate uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Yesu akamwuliza, “Imeandikwa nini katika Sheria? Unaelewaje?”
27 But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Akamjibu, “Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote na kwa akili yako yote. Na, mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe.”
28 And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.
Yesu akawaambia, “Vema! Fanya hivyo, nawe utaishi.”
29 But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Lakini yeye akitaka kujihakikishia kuwa mwema akamwuliza Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30 And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of] robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.
Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa anashuka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Yeriko. Alipokuwa njiani, alivamiwa na majambazi, wakamnyang'anya mali yake na kumpiga, wakamwacha amelala pale nusu mfu.
31 And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;
Kumbe, kuhani mmoja akawa anapita barabara ileile, akamwona, akapita kando.
32 and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side.
Hali kadhalika na Mlawi mmoja, alipofika mahali akamwona, akapita kando.
33 But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,
Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa anasafiri, alifika pale yule mtu alipokuwa, naye alipomwona, alimwonea huruma.
34 and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.
Akamwendea, akamtibu majeraha yake kwa kumtia mafuta na divai; na kuyafunga halafu akampandisha juu ya punda wake akampeleka katika nyumba moja ya wageni akamuuguza.
35 And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.
Kesho yake akatoa fedha dinari mbili akampa yule mwenye nyumba, akamwambia, Muuguze mtu huyu; na chochote utakachotumia zaidi, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.”
36 Which [now] of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into [the hands of] the robbers?
Kisha Yesu akauliza, “Kati ya hao watatu, ni yupi aliyeonyesha kuwa jirani yake yule aliyevamiwa na majambazi?”
37 And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Yule mwalimu wa Sheria akamjibu, “Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.”
38 And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.
Walipokuwa safarini, waliingia katika kijiji kimoja na mwanamke mmoja, aitwaye Martha, alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.
Martha alikuwa na dada yake aitwaye Maria; huyu aliketi karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.
40 Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.
Lakini Martha alikuwa anashughulika na mambo mengi. Basi, akamwendea Yesu, akamwambia, “Bwana, hivi hujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nishughulike peke yangu? Mwambie basi, anisaidie.”
41 But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
Lakini Bwana akamjibu, “Martha, Martha, unahangaika na kusumbuka kwa mambo mengi.
42 but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.
Kitu kimoja tu ni muhimu. Maria amechagua kitu bora zaidi ambacho hakuna mtu atakayemnyag'anya.”
