< 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.
pambele uMutwa akatavula fijigho lekela lubale navange, navasung'ua vavili vavili vamulongolele mumakaja ghoni ghano alyahuvilile kuluta.
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.
akavavula akati, “ifinu fimotwike, neke avanyambombo vadebe. lino munsume uMutwa unyamote, neke kuuti avasung'e ng'aning'ani avavombi mu mote jake.
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.
mulutaghe mumakaaja. lolagha nikuvasung'ha hwene ng'hollo pakate pa ng'hekeva.
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.
namungapindaghe inyambe ija ndalama, nambe isa vanyavukyusi, nambe ifilatu, nambe namungamwungilaghe umuunhu hweni musila.
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!’
mu nyumba jojoni jino kyande mukwingila. mutalaghe kwiti, ulutengano luve munyumba iji.
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].
ndeve pwale umuunhu ghwa lutengano pala, ulutengano lwinu lusighala kwa mwene.
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].
neke mujighaghe munyumba ijio, mulisaghe napinyua kino kyande vihumia, ulwakuva um'bombi anoghile uluhombo lwake. namungahumaghe mu nyumba iji nakuluta ku nyumba ijinge.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
ilikaaja lyolyoni lino kya mukwingila, na kukuvupila, lisagha kyokyoni kino kivikilue pa maaso ghinu,
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].’
muvasosyaghe avatamu vano vali umuo, muvavulaghe kuuti, “uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwisile pipi kulyume.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
neke mulikaaja lyolyoni lino kyale mukwingila, na kuleka kukuvupila, mulutaghe kunji pa nsevo pe muvavule,
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!’
naliling'unde mulikaaja liinu lino likolile mu maghulu ghitu tukung'una pa maaso ghinu! neke mukagule kuuti, uvutwa vwa Nguluve vuli pipi.
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]!”
nikuvavula kuuti ikighono ikya vuhighi kiliva kya lugudo kukila kwa Sodoma kuliko ilikaaja ilio.
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.
iga uve Kolasini, iga uve Betisaida! nave imbombo imbaha sinosivombike mun'kate mun'kate jako, sale sivombike ku Tiro na ku Sidoni, ndevalatile katali kyongo, vavikukala mu n'kate mu mhenda agha magunila na mapembo.
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].
neke kwaki kyongo ikighono kya vuhighi kwa Tiro nu Sidoni kukila umue.
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)
uve Karelinaumu, ghusagha kuuti vilikukutosia kukyanya kwa Nguluve? nambe vilikukwisia paasi kuhanga kuvulungu. (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.”
juno kyande ikuvapulikisia umue ikumulikisia une, ghwope juno ikuvakana, ikung'hana une, na ghweni juno ikung'hana une ikun'kana juno anisung'ile.
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]!”
vala kijigho lekela lubale vakagomoka vahovwike, vakaati, “Mutwa ghope amapepo amalamafu ghikutukunda militavua lyako.
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].
uYesu akavavula akati,” numwaghile usetano pano ighua kuhuma kukyanya hwene lumuli lwa fula?
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.
loola! nivapelile uvutavulua uvwa kukanya injoka ni fing'omilevuli, ni ngufu sooni sa valugu, kange kusila kyokyoni ku sila jojoni ikyakuvalemasia.
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].”
nambe lino namungahovokaghe lwene mu ili, kuuti inumbula sikuvitika, neke muhovokaghe kukila kuuti, amatavua ghinu ghalembilue kukyanya.
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.”
mu n'siki ghula ghula akahovokagha kyongo mwa Mhepo uMwimike na kuuti, “nikukughinia uve, Nhaata, Mutwa ghwa kukyanya ni iisi, ulwakuva ughaisile amasio agha kuhuma kwa nya vukoola na vanya luhala, nakukughafunula ku vala vano navavulanisivue, ndavule avaanha avadebe. Ena, Nhaata kwa kuva lukakelile pa maaso ghako.
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].”
ifinu fyoni fitavulilue ku lyune nu Nhaata ghwango, nakwale juno ikagula umwana ghwe veeni, looli u Nhaata, kange nakwale juno ikagula uNhaata ghwe veni looli u mwana. nu muunhu ghweni juno umwana inoghelua kukujivonesia kwa mwene.
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]!
akavasyetukila avavulanisivua, akati kuvusyefu, vafunyilue vala vano vikusagha sino najumue mukusagha.
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.”
nikuvavula umue. kuuti avavili vinga na vatwa vakanoghilue kusagha sino mukusagha, neke navakasaghile, na kupulika pulika sino mupulika neke navakapulike.
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)
loola! um'bulanisi jumonga ughwa ndaghilo isa vaYahudi akimile na kkumughela akati, “m'bulanisi, nivombe kiki nikave uvwumi uvwa kusila nakusila?” (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?”
uYesu akamwamula akati, “kilembilue kiki mu ndaghilo? ghukujimba ndani?
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.”
akamwamula akati, “ghulukumughana uMutwa ghwako ku mwojo ghwako ghwoni, na kunumbula jako jooni, na kungufu sako sooni, nakuluhala lwako lwoni, nu nino ndavule ghukughana ghwe mwene.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
uYesu akati, “ghwamwile vunono. vombagha ndiki pe ghuuva nu vwumi.
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]?”
neke um'bulanisi ndeve inoghelua kukujivalila ikyang'hhani jujuo, akam'bulagha uYesu,” nu n'jango ghwe veni?
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.
uYesu akamwamula akati, “umuunhu jumonga akale ikwika kuhuma ku Yelusalemu kuluta ku Yeliko. akaghua pakate pa vakunyi vakankunya ikyuma kyake, na kukuntova na kukumuleka pipi pifua.
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].
hongelagha untekesi jumonga akale ikwika mu sila ijio, ati amwaghile akakila ulubale ulunge.
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].
naju Mulawi akakila vulevule, ati afikile pala na kukumwagha akakila ulubale ulunge.
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.
neke un'koola jumonga, pano akale ikyula, akakila pala pano akale umuunhu ujuo. ati amwaghile akaveela kulusungu.
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.
akam'belelela na kukumpinya ifikong'o fyake, na kukumpaka amafuta mu fikong'o fyake. akantosia pa nkyanya ja kidimua kyake, na kukuntwala ku nyumba ja vaghesi na kum'buvusia.
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.’”
ikighono kinokikwisa akatola idinari ivili, na kukumpela unyanyumba jila ija vaghesi na kukum'bula, 'm'buvusie kyokyoni ikya kwongelela nikukuhomba kyande nigomwike.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
ghusagha kuuti, ghweveni mu ava vatatu, juno alyale pipi na jula juno alyaghwilile pakate pa vakunyi?
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]!”
um”bulanisi akati, “ghwe jula juno akavonisie ulusungu kwa jula juno akaghwile”. uYesu akam'bula akati lutagha na juve ukavombaghe vule vule.
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.
lino ye vati vikyula, vakingila mu likaaja limonga, nu mukijuuva jumonga ilitavual lwake ghwe Malita akankalibisia mu nyumba jaake.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
alyale nu nuna juno akakemheluagha Maliya, juno akikalagha pamaghulu gha Mutwa na kukumpulikisia amasio ghake.
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!”
neke uMaliya akava ni mbombo nyinga isa kuteleka ikyakulia. akaluta kwa Yesu na kuti, “Mutwa, naghusagha kuuti u nuna vango anilekile nivombaghe ne mwene? pe lino um'bule anangaghe”.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
neke uMutwa akamwamula na kukum'bula kuuti,” Malita Malita, ghupumhuka mu nyinga,
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]}.”
neke kye kinu kimo kyene ikyakuvomba. uMaliya atavwile kino kinono, kino nakilivuka kuhuma kwa mwene.
