< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Gejile galabhao amagambo ago, Lata Bhugenyi nasola ebheigisibhwa abhandi makumi musanju, nabhatuma bhabhili bhili bhelabhe okukinga bhuli musi na bhuli chalo echo aliga neikanya okujamo.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Nabhabhwila ati, “ebhyokugeswa ni bhafu, nawe abhakosi bhemilimu ni bhatoto. Mbe kulwejo musabhe Omukama wa wobhugesi koleleki atume bhwangu abhakosi bhemilimu mulugeso lwaye.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Mugende mumisi. Mbe mwimenye, nabhatuma lwa jinama agati ye emisege ja ibara.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Mwasiga okugega omufuko gwa jiela, nolwo emikoba eja bhanu abhaja lugendo, nolwo bhilato, mwasiga nokukesha wonawona munjila.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Mukengila munyumba yonayona, echokwamba mwaike kutya, 'Omulembe gubhemo munyumba munu.'
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Akasanga alimo omunu womulembe munyumba eyo, omulembe gweme ogusigala ingulu yaye, nawe akasanga atalimo, omulembe ogusubha kwimwe.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Mwikale munyumba eyo, mulye no kunywa bhihu abhabhaletela, kulwokubha omukosi we emilimu kabhonaga omuyelo. Mwasiga okufuruka mukaja nyumba indi.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Mukengila mumusi na bhakabhalamila, mulye chonachona chinu abhaleta imbele yemwe.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Muoshe abhalwaye bhanu bhali mumusi ogwo. Mubhabhwile ati, 'Obhukama bhwa mulwire bhwafogee ayeyi nemwe.'
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Nawe mumusi gwona gwona gunu mwakengilemo bhasige okubhalamila, musokemo muje anja kunjila nimwaika ati,
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
'Nolwo oluteli lo omusi gunu lunu lugwatiliye kumaguru geswe chalukubhula lubhe ingulu yemwe! Nawe mulagumenya gunu, Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwafogee yeyi.'
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Enibhabhwila kutiya olunaku lwa indamu lulibha lwokwikomesha muno ku Sodoma kusiga omusi ogwo.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Kolazini jakubhona, Betisaida jakubhona! Ka labha emilimu mikulu jinu jakolekana ewao chisanga jikolekene Tiro na Sidoni, bhakasigile ebhibhi bhwangu muno, bhakafwaye jingubho jamagunila na lifu.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Nawe kulibhao okwikomesha muno ku musi gwa Tiro na Sidoni kulunaku olwa indamu kusiga emwe.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Awe Kaperanaumu, owiganilishati bhalikutula ingulu okukinga mulwire? Pai, outelembushwa emwalo okukinga nyombe. (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Oyo alibhategelesha emwe kantegelesha anye, na wonawona unu alibhalema emwe kalema anye, na wonawona oyo kandema anye kalema unu antumile anye.”
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Bhaliya makumi musanju bhasubhile kwobhukondelelwa muno, nibhaika ati, “Mukama nolwo amasambwa ona agachungwa mwisina lyao.”
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Yesu nabhabhwila ati, Nalolele shetani nagw aokusoka mulwire lwo olukubha.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Mbe mulole, nabhayana obhuyinga bhwo kutaja jinjoka na jinge, na amanaga gonna agomusoko, na chitalio chona chona na kwa njila yonaona chinu chilibhanyamula.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Nolwo kutiyo mwasiga kukondelewa kwo omusango gumwi ila gunu, nawe mukondelelwe muno kulwokwandikwa kwanamasina gemwe mulwire.”
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Omwanya ogwo, nakondelelwa muno mu Mwoyo Mwelu, naika ati, “Enikukuya awe, Lata, Omukama wo olwire ne echalo, kulwokubha waselekele emisango jinu kubhanu bhobhwengeso no obhwenge, nugasulula kubhanu bhateigisibhwe, lwa abhana abhalela. Nikwo kutyo, Lata, kulwokubha jakukondeye mumeso gao.”
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
“Bhuli chinu niyabhilwe na Lata wani, na atalio unu kamenya ati Omwana niga, tali ni Lata, na atalio unu kamenya ati Lata niga, tali ni Omwana, na wonawona unu Omwana kekumbulila okwisulula kumwene.”
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Nabhaindukila abheigisibhwa nabhabhwila bhali kasugumbaju, “Bhana libhando bhanu abhalola ganu ago omulola emwe.
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Enibhabhwila emwe kutya, abhalagi bhafu na abhakama bhesigombelaga okulola ganu omulola, nawe bhatagabhwene no okungwa ganu omungwa.”
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Mbe lola, omwiigisha umwi owebhilagilo ebhye Chiyaudi emeleguyu namusaka Yesu naika ati, “Mwiigisha, nikole chinuki koleleki nilye omwandu gwo bhuanga bhwa akajanende?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Yesu namubhwila ati, “Jandikilwe kutiki mubhilagilo? Ousomaga kutiki?”
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Namusubhya naika ati, “Yendaga Omukama Nyamuanga wao kwo moyo gwao gwona, kwomutima gwao gwona, kwa amanaga gao gona na kwo bhwenge bhwao bhwona na wende omwikashanya wao lwakutyo owienda awe omwene.”
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Yesu naika ati, “Wasubhya kisi. Mbe nukole kutyo ouja okulama.”
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Nawe omwiigisha nenda okwibhalila obhulengelesi omwenekili, namubhwila Yesu ati, “Ko mwikashanya wani niga?”
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Yesu nasubhya naika ati, “Omunu umwi aliga nolomoka okusoka Yerusalemu najaga Yeriko. Mbe nagwa mumabhoko agabhasakusi, nibhamusakula ebhinu bhaye bhyona nibhamubhuma nokumusigao alikuti afuye.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Kutiki ebhando, omugabhisi umwi aliganolomoka kunjila eyo, ejile amulola netulila kumbali.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Omulawi ona nakola kutyo, ejile akakinga ao namulola, ona netulila kumbali.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Nawe omusamaria umwi unu aliga naja lugendo lwaye, nalabha ao aliga omuuta. Ejile amulola nasilwa nechigongo.
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Namufogelako namusemba obhuuta bhwaye, namusiga amafuta na idivai kumubhili gwaye. Amulinyishe ingulu ya intyanyi yaye, namusila munyumba ya abhagenyi nokumulwasha.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Bwire bhucheye nagega jiyela dinari ebhili, nayana kanya nyumba ya abhagenyi namubhwila ati, 'Numulwashe na chona chona chinu chileyongesha echowakakolele, nakaje okukulia nakasubhe.'
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Mbe ni uya mubhanu abho ukeganilisha, unu aliga ali mwikashanya wa unu agwiliye mumabhoko ga abhasakusi?”
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Omwiigisha nasubhya ati, “Ni unu elesishe echigongo kumuuta.” Mbe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Genda aona ukole kutyo.”
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Mbe ao bhaliga bhachagenda mulugendo, nibhakinga muchijiji chimwi, no omugasi umwi natogwa Marita namukumililanika ewaye.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Omugasi oyo aliga ali namuyala wabho natogwaga Mariamu, unu aliga eyanjile mumagulu go Omukama nokutegelesha omusango gwaye.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Nawe Marita nagega milimu myafu ejo kufulubhenda okuteka ebhilyo. Nagenda ku Yesu nokwaika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, awe utakusasila oulola muyalawasu ansigila obhufulubhendi nenyele? Kulwejo numubhwile ansakile.”
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Nawe Lata Bhugenyi namusubhya namubhwila ati, “Marita, Marita, ounyakilila magambo mafu,
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
nawe liliwo egambo limwi la elya insonga. Mariamu asola linu likondele, na litakuja kumusokako.”
