Luke 10
1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither 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 unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache. Kwa hivyo, mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.
3 Go your ways: 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 no purse, no wallet, no shoes: and salute no man on the way.
Msichukue mfuko wa fedha, mkoba, wala viatu; msimsalimu mtu yeyote njiani.
5 And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace [be] 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 him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.
Kama akiwako mwenye kupenda amani, amani yenu itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudieni.
7 And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go 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 enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
Kama mkifika mji fulani na watu wakiwakaribisha, kuleni wanavyowapeni.
9 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Ponyeni wagonjwa walioko huko, waambieni watu: Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia kwenu.
10 But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,
Lakini mkiingia katika mji wowote, wasipowakaribisheni, tokeni; nanyi mpitapo katika barabara zao semeni:
11 Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we do wipe off against you: howbeit 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 unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Hakika nawaambieni, siku ile mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Sodoma.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, 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.
“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 Howbeit 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, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades. (Hadēs g86)
Na wewe Kafarnaumu, unataka kujikweza mpaka mbinguni? La; utaporomoshwa mpaka Kuzimu.” (Hadēs g86)
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth 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 devils are subject unto us in thy name.
Baadaye, wale sabini na wawili walirudi wamejaa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata pepo wametutii tulipolitaja jina lako.”
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.
Yeye akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani jinsi alivyokuwa anaporomoka kama umeme kutoka mbinguni.
19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.
Naam, nimewapeni uwezo wa kukanyaga nyoka na ng'e, na uwezo juu ya nguvu zote za yule adui; hakuna chochote kitakachowadhuru.
20 Howbeit in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Hata hivyo, msifurahi kwa sababu pepo wamewatii, bali furahini kwa sababu majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was 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 unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth 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 turning to the disciples, he said privately, 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 unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
Hakika, manabii na wafalme walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona ninyi wasiyaone, na kusikia yale mnayoyasikia wasiyasikie.”
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (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 unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Yesu akamwuliza, “Imeandikwa nini katika Sheria? Unaelewaje?”
27 And 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 thy mind; 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 unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Yesu akawaambia, “Vema! Fanya hivyo, nawe utaishi.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Lakini yeye akitaka kujihakikishia kuwa mwema akamwuliza Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30 Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
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 by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Kumbe, kuhani mmoja akawa anapita barabara ileile, akamwona, akapita kando.
32 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Hali kadhalika na Mlawi mmoja, alipofika mahali akamwona, akapita kando.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa anasafiri, alifika pale yule mtu alipokuwa, naye alipomwona, alimwonea huruma.
34 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on [them] oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an 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 he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.
Kesho yake akatoa fedha dinari mbili akampa yule mwenye nyumba, akamwambia, Muuguze mtu huyu; na chochote utakachotumia zaidi, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.”
36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell among 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 mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Yule mwalimu wa Sheria akamjibu, “Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.”
38 Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha 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, which also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word.
Martha alikuwa na dada yake aitwaye Maria; huyu aliketi karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she 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 the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
Lakini Bwana akamjibu, “Martha, Martha, unahangaika na kusumbuka kwa mambo mengi.
42 but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Kitu kimoja tu ni muhimu. Maria amechagua kitu bora zaidi ambacho hakuna mtu atakayemnyag'anya.”
