< 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.
Eshi baada eyego, GOSI abheshera na bhamwabho sabini wabhasontezya, bhabhele bhabhele bhatagalile bhale shila boma shila hwintu hwapambameye abhale yoyo.
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.
Wabhabhola, “Eviyabho vinji, lelo abhombambo bhadodo. Eshi labhi hwu GOSI owe viyabho, utwale abhombamba mbombo mviyabho vyakwe.
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.
Bhalaji. Enyaji, embasotezya nesheje bhana ngole mmahanyanga.
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.
Mgaje ahweje ifuko wala echola, wala evilato, wala mgaje hulamushe omntu mwidala.
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!’
Ekhaya yoyonti yambahahwinjele, yanji na soti, 'Amani ebhanje mnyumba omu.
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].
Nkashile ahweli omwana owe amani, eamani yenyu ebhawele hwilimwe.
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].
Eshi khalaji pakhaya peepo, mlyonje na mwene evyabhahale, afanaje, obhombo mbombo ahwanziwa hupele omshahara gwakwe. Mgaje asame same afume ekhaya ene abhale ekhaya eyamwabho.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Na ibima lya lyonti, lyamuhwinjile, nkabhakaribizya lyanji elyalye vyabhabheshele hwitagalila lyenyu,
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].’
Bhaponyaji abhinu bhabhaliomwo. bhabholaji, 'Oumwene owa NGOLOBHE upalamiye'
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Na iboma lyonti lyambhahwinjile, bhape sebhabhakaribizyo, fumaji omwo namwe nkamwashila katika idala lyakwa yangaji,
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!’
'Itata mankonji age boma lyenyu ggakhatene na mmanama getu tigasanyata gasagalaje hwilimwe! Lelo mmanye eli yaje, omwene owa NGOLOBHE upalamiye.'
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]!”
Embahla eyaje isiku ila ayibharahisi zaidi eSodoma ajimbe amarabha gakwe ahile iboma eli.
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.
Ehele awe Korazini, ehele awe Bethsaida! Afwanaje nkashile amajabu ega gagabhombeshe wilimwe gagabhombeshe katika Tiro na hu Sidoni, handa bhalabhile aje bhasajilwe afume epoohu nakhale na menda age magunila na malota.
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].
Lelo ensiku elya longwe yayibha rahisi Tiro ne Sidoni ajimbe amalabha gakwe ashile amwe.
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)
Nawe Kapernaumu, je! obhahwikuzye hata amwanya? Bhahwisiwe, paka hwazimu. (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.”
Yabhovwa amwe anvwezye nene, wape yabhakhana amwe ahene nene, wape yahenene akhene ola ya mntu”
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]!”
Esho bhala sabini bhawelile nasesherere, bhayanga, “GOSI, na epepo zitogopa hwitawa lyaho.”
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].
Wabhabhola, “Naloli oshetsni nagwa afume amwanya eneshe oumeme.
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.
Enya, embapiye endajizyo ezya khanye enzohane nge, na maha goni golo oadui, wala na hamo ahantu hahayibha vwalazya.
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].”
Lelomgaje shime shilo amapepo nagabhopa, eshishimaji afwatanaje amatawa genyu gasimbilwe amwanya.”
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.”
Esaa yeyo yeyo ashanjiliye hupepo ozelu, wayanga, “Ehusalifya, wo Baba, wo GOSI owa mwanya na owa pansi, afwanaje amambo ega obhafisile bhabhali neshinshi ne njele, obhalanjile abhanaabhela, ena, Baba, afwanaje shashesho shosongwelwe.”
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].”
Wayanga empewelwe vyonti na Baba wane, wala nomo yamenye omwana na yeyonti ambaye omwana asongwe hulanje.”
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]!
Wabagalushila asambelezewa bhakwe, wayanga nabho hufaragha, “Heri amaso gagalola gamgalola amwe.
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.”
Afwanaje embabhola, ya je akuwa abhinji na mwene bhatamanile agalola gamgalola amwe sebhagalole, navgowe gamgavwazye amwe sebha govwezye.”
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)
Na enya, olonzi omo ahemeleye aenje wayanga, sambelezi, “Embombe, yenu ili egale owomi owa hanihani?” (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?”
Wabhola, “Esibwilwe yenu mtorati? Obhazya wele?”
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.”
Wagalula wayanga, “Ogane OGOSI ONGOLOBHE waho humwoyo gwaho gwonti, na huroho yaho yonti, na hamaha gaho gonti, na hunjele zyaho zyonti, no jirani waho neshe nafsi yaho.”
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Wabhola, “Ujibule shinza. Bhommba shesho nawe ubhakhale.”
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]?”
Wape ahanzaga, ahwibhonesye ehaki, wabhozya, oYesu, “No jirani wane wenu?”
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.
Oyesu wagalula wayanga, “Omntu omo ahishile afume hu Yerusalemu abhale hu Yeriko. Wagwela mwabhabhafepla wamwaula, amenda bhavwalazya bhahwibhalila bhaleha papepe nefwa.
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].
Kwa bahati okohani omo ahishile hwidala alila na walola washila pashenje.
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].
Na mlawi wape, shesho nawafiha pala walola washila pashenje.
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.
Lelo oMsamaria omo, katika asafiri, hwakwe wafiha epo pahali. Na walola asajiye.
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.
Wakaribila wapinya amalonda gakwe, waponya amafuta ne divai wamwinjizya pahamu wakwe. watwara mpaka kunyumba eya jenyi bhalela.
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.’”
Hata isiku elyabhele wafumia dinari zibhele, wapela omwanesho nyumba eya jenyi, 'Wayanga orere ono na hahonti hobhatumile zaidi, ane nanayiwela nayisomba.'
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Olola wele awe katika ebho bhatatu, wenu, wali jirani wakwe ola yagweleye mmakhona bhabhafyola?”
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]!”
Wayanga, “Ya yono yaloleye husajile. “oYesu wabhola, “Bhalaga nawe obhombe shesho”
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.
Shabha katika abhale hwabho, winjira mshijiji shimo, oshe omo itawa lyakwe yo Martha wakarihizya akhaya yakwe.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Wape ali no mwana kwabho wakwe akwiziwa Mariamu, yakheye pamagaga ga Yesu atejezyaga amazu gakwe.
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!”
Lelo o Martha ali ahangayiha huteleshere oYesu. Wabhalila wayanga, “GOSI, solola shibhibhi oholo wane? Shandishile etelehe nemwene?
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Eshi bhole anavwe.” OGOSI wagalula wabhola, “Martha, Martha, ohwitamasya na sononeshe kwajili eye vintu evinji,
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]}.”
Lelo shihwanziwa ahantu hamo wane. No Mariamu asaluye ifungu lyali linza, ambalo sagayefwezyewe.”
