Luke 10
1 And after these things, the LORD also appointed seventy others, and sent them by twos before His face, to every city and place to where He Himself was about to come,
Njalo emva kwalezizinto iNkosi yamisa njalo abanye abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa, yabathuma ngababili phambi kobuso bayo emizini yonke lezindaweni zonke ebizakuya kuzo yona.
2 then He said to them, “The harvest [is] indeed abundant, but the workmen few; implore then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
Ngakho yathi kubo: Isibili isivuno sikhulu, kodwa izisebenzi zinlutshwana. Ngakho ncengani eNkosini yesivuno, ukuze ithume izisebenzi esivunweni sayo.
3 Go away; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;
Hambani; khangelani, mina ngiyalithuma linjengezimvana phakathi kwezimpisi.
4 carry no bag, no leather pouch, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way;
Lingaphathi umxhaka, lesikhwama, lamanyathela; njalo lingabingeleli muntu endleleni.
5 and into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house;
Njalo lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, qalani lithi: Ukuthula kakube kulindlu.
6 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, your peace will rest on it; and if not so, it will turn back on you.
Njalo uba kukhona lapho indodana yokuthula, ukuthula kwenu kuzahlala phezu kwayo; kodwa uba kungenjalo, kuzabuyela kini.
7 And remain in that house, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; do not go from house to house,
Hlalani-ke kuleyondlu, lidle linathe izinto ezivela kubo; ngoba isisebenzi sifanele umvuzo waso. Lingayi endlini lendlini.
8 and into whatever city you enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,
Lakuwuphi umuzi elingena kuwo, besebelemukela, dlanini okubekwa phambi kwenu,
9 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come near to you.
lisilise abagulayo abakuwo, njalo lithi kubo: Umbuso kaNkulunkulu usondele kini.
10 And into whatever city you enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,
Kodwa lakuwuphi umuzi elingena kuwo, futhi bengalemukeli, phumelani endleleni zawo, lithi:
11 And the dust that has cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off against you, but know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you;
Lothuli lomuzi wenu olusinamatheleyo siyaluthintithela kini; kodwa-ke yazini lokhu, ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu usondele kini.
12 and I say to you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
Njalo ngithi kini: Kuzakuba lula eSodoma ngalolosuku, kulakulowomuzi.
13 Woe to you, Chorazin; woe to you, Bethsaida; for if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they had converted long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes;
Maye kuwe, Korazini! Maye kuwe, Bhethisayida! Ngoba uba kwakwenziwe eTire leSidoni imisebenzi yamandla eyenziwe kini, ngabe kade baphenduka bahlala emasakeni lemlotheni.
14 but it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
Kodwa kuzakuba lula eTire leSidoni ekugwetshweni, kulakini.
Lawe, Kapenawume, ophakanyiselwe ezulwini, uzaphoselwa phansi esihogweni. (Hadēs g86)
16 He who is hearing you, hears Me; and he who is putting you away, puts Me away; and he who is putting Me away, puts away Him who sent Me.”
Olizwayo lina uyangizwa mina; lolalayo lina uyangala mina; longalayo mina uyamala ongithumileyo.
17 And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, “Lord, and the demons are being subjected to us in Your Name”;
Babuya-ke abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa ngentokozo, besithi: Nkosi, lamadimoni ayazehlisela ngaphansi kwethu ebizweni lakho.
18 and He said to them, “I was beholding Satan having fallen as lightning from Heaven;
Wasesithi kubo: Ngabona uSathane njengombane esiwa evela ezulwini.
19 behold, I give to you the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means will hurt you;
Khangelani, ngilinika amandla okunyathela phezu kwezinyoka labofezela, laphezu kwamandla wonke esitha; njalo akusoze kube lalutho olungalilimaza.
20 but do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.”
Kodwa lingathokozi ngalokho ukuthi omoya bayazehlisela ngaphansi kwenu; kodwa ikakhulu thokozani ukuthi amabizo enu alotshiwe emazulwini.
21 In that hour Jesus was glad in the Spirit and said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that You hid these things from wise men and understanding, and revealed them to babies; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before You.
Ngalelohola uJesu wathokoza emoyeni, wathi: Ngiyakubonga, Baba, Nkosi yezulu lomhlaba, ngoba uzifihlile lezizinto kwabahlakaniphileyo labaqedisisayo, kodwa wazembulela izingane; yebo, Baba, ngoba ngokunjalo kwaba kuhle phambi kwakho.
22 All things were delivered up 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 he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].”
Konke kwanikelwa kimi nguBaba; njalo kakho owaziyo ukuthi iNdodana ingubani, ngaphandle kukaBaba, lokuthi uBaba ungubani, ngaphandle kweNdodana, njalo loba ngubani iNdodana ethanda ukumembulela.
23 And having turned to the disciples, He said, by themselves, “Blessed the eyes that are perceiving what you perceive;
Wasephendukela kubafundi bebodwa wathi: Abusisiwe amehlo abona elikubonayo.
24 for I say to you that many prophets and kings wished to see what you perceive, and did not see, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.”
Ngoba ngithi kini: Abaprofethi abanengi lamakhosi babethanda ukubona izinto elizibonayo lina, kodwa kabazibonanga; lokuzwa izinto elizizwayo, kodwa kabazizwanga.
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, trying Him, and saying, “Teacher, what having done, will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
Njalo khangela, isazumthetho esithile sasesisukuma, simlinga, sisithi: Mfundisi, ngenzeni ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
26 And He said to him, “In the Law what has been written? How do you read [it]?”
Wasesithi kuso: Kubhalweni emlayweni? Uwubala njani?
27 And he answering said, “You will love the LORD your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your strength, and out of all your understanding, and your neighbor as yourself.”
Sasesiphendula sathi: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langamandla akho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke; lomakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
28 And He said to him, “You answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
Wasesithi kuso: Uphendule ngokuqonda; yenza lokhu, futhi uzaphila.
29 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Kodwa sona sithanda ukuzilungisisa sathi kuJesu: Kanti ngubani umakhelwane wami?
30 And Jesus having taken up [the word], said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.
UJesu wasephendula wathi: Umuntu othile wehla evela eJerusalema esiya eJeriko, watheleka phakathi kwabaphangi, njalo bamhlubula impahla bamtshaya imivimvinya basuka bahamba, bamtshiya ephosukufa.
31 And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
Umpristi othile waseqabuka esehla ngaleyondlela; njalo wathi embona, wadlula eceleni.
32 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been around the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
Langokunjalo lomLevi nxa wayesekulindawo, wafika embona, wadlula eceleni.
33 But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
Kodwa umSamariya othile owayehamba wafika lapho ayekhona, njalo kwathi embona waba lesihelo,
34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;
waya kuye wabopha amanxeba akhe, ewathela amagcobo lewayini; wamkhweza phezu kweyakhe inyamazana, wamusa endlini yezihambi, wamlondoloza.
35 and on the next day, going forth, taking out two denarii, he gave to the innkeeper and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever you may spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to you.
Kusisa esehamba, wakhupha odenariyo ababili wabanika umninindlu, wathi kuye: Umlondoloze; njalo loba yini ozakuchitha okwedlula lokhu, mina ngizabuyisela kuwe ekubuyeni kwami.
36 Who, then, of these three, seems to you to have become neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?”
Pho, nguwuphi kulaba abathathu ocabanga ukuthi wayengumakhelwane walowo owatheleka phakathi kwabaphangi?
37 And he said, “He who did the kindness with him,” then Jesus said to him, “Be going on, and you be doing in like manner.”
Wasesithi: Ngulowo owamenzela isihawu. Ngakho uJesu wathi kuye: Hamba, lawe wenze njalo.
38 And it came to pass, in their going on, that He entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, received Him into her house,
Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo, yena wangena emzaneni othile; lowesifazana othile, uMarta ngebizo, wamemukela endlini yakhe.
39 and she also had a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,
Njalo lo wayelodadewabo othiwa nguMariya, laye owahlala enyaweni zikaJesu, walizwa ilizwi lakhe.
40 and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by Him, she said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister left me alone to serve? Say then to her that she may partake along with me.”
Kodwa uMarta wayephazanyiswa yikusebenza okunengi; weza eduze wasesithi: Nkosi, kawukhathali yini ukuthi udadewethu ungitshiye ukuthi ngisebenze ngedwa? Ngakho umtshele ukuthi angisize.
41 And Jesus answering said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disquieted about many things,
Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Marta, Marta, uyaphiseka ukhathazeke ngezinto ezinengi;
42 but of one thing there is need, and Mary chose the good part; that will not be taken away from her.”
kodwa yinye into edingekayo; kodwa uMariya ukhethile isabelo esihle, angayikwemukwa sona.
