Luke 17
1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
Kisha, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Haiwezekani kabisa kusitokee vikwazo vinavyosababisha dhambi; lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayevisababisha.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Ingekuwa afadhali kwake kufungiwa shingoni jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutoswa baharini, kuliko kumkwaza mmoja wa wadogo hawa.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
Jihadharini! Kama ndugu yako akikukosea, mwonye; akitubu, msamehe.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
Na kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku, na kila mara akarudi kwako akisema Nimetubu, lazima umsamehe.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting faith.”
Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, “Utuongezee imani.”
6 The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Naye Bwana akajibu, “Kama imani yenu ingekuwa ndogo hata kama chembe ndogo ya haradali, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu: Ng'oka ukajipandikize baharini, nao ungewatii.
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’
“Tuseme mmoja wenu ana mtumishi ambaye analima shambani au anachunga kondoo. Je, anaporudi kutoka shambani, atamwambia: Haraka, njoo ule chakula?
8 and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
La! Atamwambia: Nitayarishie chakula, ujifunge tayari kunitumikia mpaka nitakapomaliza kula na kunywa, ndipo nawe ule na unywe.
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
Hali kadhalika na ninyi mkisha fanya yote mliyoamriwa, semeni: Sisi ni watumishi tusio na faida, tumetimiza tu yale tuliyotakiwa kufanya.”
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].
Yesu akiwa safarini kwenda Yerusalemu alipitia mipakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
Alipokuwa anaingia katika kijiji kimoja, watu kumi wenye ukoma walikutana naye, wakasimama kwa mbali.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Master, have mercy on us!”
Wakapaza sauti wakisema, “Yesu Mwalimu, tuonee huruma!”
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
Alipowaona akawaambia, “Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani.” Basi, ikawa walipokuwa wanakwenda, wakatakasika.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba ameponywa alirudi akimtukuza Mungu kwa sauti kubwa.
16 He fell on his face at Yeshua [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
Akajitupa chini mbele ya miguu ya Yesu huku akimshukuru. Huyo alikuwa Msamaria.
17 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Hapo Yesu akasema, “Je, si watu kumi walitakaswa? Wale tisa wako wapi?
18 Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
Hakupatikana mwingine aliyerudi kumtukuza Mungu ila tu huyu mgeni?”
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
Halafu akamwambia huyo mtu, “Simama, uende zako; imani yako imekuponya.”
20 Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
Wakati mmoja, Mafarisayo walimwuliza Yesu, “Ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini?” Naye akawajibu, “Ufalme wa Mungu hauji kwa namna itakayoweza kuonekana.
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
Wala hakuna atakayeweza kusema, Uko hapa, au Uko pale. Kwa kweli Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu.”
22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
Halafu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Siku zinakuja ambapo mtatamani kuona mojawapo ya siku za Mwana wa Mtu, lakini hamtaiona.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,
Na watu watawaambieni: Tazameni yuko hapa; ninyi msitoke wala msiwafuate.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Kwa maana kama vile umeme unavyotokea ghafla na kuangaza anga upande mmoja hadi mwingine, ndivyo Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokuwa siku yake.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Lakini kabla ya hayo, itambidi ateseke sana na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.
26 As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
Kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika siku za Mwana wa Mtu.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah [Rest] entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kuoa na kuolewa mpaka wakati ule Noa alipoingia katika safina. Gharika ikatokea na kuwaangamiza wote.
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Itakuwa kama ilivyotokea wakati wa Loti. Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kununua na kuuza, kupanda mbegu na kujenga.
29 but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
Lakini siku ile Loti alipoondoka Sodoma, moto na kiberiti vikanyesha kama mvua kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza wote.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
“Siku hiyo, yeyote atakayekuwa juu ya paa asishuke nyumbani kuchukua mali yake. Kadhalika, naye atakayekuwa shambani asirudi nyuma.
32 Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
Yeyote anayetaka kuiokoa nafsi yake, ataipoteza; na yeyote anayeipoteza, ataiokoa.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
Nawaambieni, siku ile usiku watu wawili watakuwa wanalala pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na yule mwingine ataachwa.
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
Wanawake wawili watakuwa wakisaga nafaka pamoja; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.”
36 Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
Watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
Hapo wakamwuliza, “Ni wapi Bwana?” Naye akawaambia, “Ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai watakapokusanyikia.”
