Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
A Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho likumi limo na bhabhili, gubhaapelenje mashili ga shoya maoka na lamya ilwele na ungakola mashili gwa kila namuna.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Mena gabhonji mitume likumi limo na bhabhilibho ni gegano, bhantai a Shimoni bhashemwaga a Petili, na apwabho a Ndeleya, na a Yakobho na a Yowana bhana bha a Shebhedayo, na
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
a Pilipi na a Bhatolomeyo, na a Tomashi na a Matei bhakamula koli, na a Yakobho bhanabhabho a Alupayo, na a Tadei
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
na a Shimoni Bhakanaani, na a Yuda Ishikaliote bhaatendebhwishe a Yeshu.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
A Yeshu gubhaatumilenje mitume likumi limo na bhabhili bhala gubhaalajiyenje bhalinkuti, “Nnajendangane ku bhandu bhangabha Bhayaudi, wala nnajinjilanje mwiilambo ya Bhashamalia.
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Ikabhe nnjendangane ku bhandu bha Ishilaeli bhaobhilenje mbuti ngondolo.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Pushinnjendangane nnunguyanje nnei, ‘Upalume gwa Kunnungu ubhandishile.’
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Nnamiyanje bhalwelenji, nnyuyanje bhawilenje na nnamyanje bhakwetenje mangundula na nshoyanje maoka. Nshipegwanga gwayoyo, nshoyanje gwayoyo.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [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].
Nnajigalanje mmbiya yoyowe mmiuko jenunji.
Nnajigalanje nng'uko mumpanda, wala lishati lya tingiganya, wala ilatu ya tindiganya, wala imbo. Pabha atenda maengo anapinjikwa alipwe.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
“Nnjinjilangaga nshilambo eu shijiji shoshowe, munnoleyanje mundu jwa pwaa na ntamangane kunngwakwe mpaka pushinjabhulanje.
Punkujinjilanga nnyumba, mwaajujilanje ulele.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Na ashaayene gwene muigo bhamposhelangaga, bhai ulele gwenunji shugwapwaanje, ikabheje bhakamposhelanje, ulele gwenunji shugummujilanje mmanganyanji.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Monaga mundu akanaga kumposhelanga eu kumpilikanilanga, bhai pushinshokanje jene nyumbajo eu shene shilambosho, nkung'undanje ndutuli mmakongono genunji ibhe shilangulo sha kwaaleyanga ga kana ntenga gwa a Nnungu.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, lyubha lya ukumu bhandunji bha shene shilambosho bhapinga patanga mboteko, kupunda yaapatilenje bhandunji bha ilambo ya Shodoma na Gomola.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
“Nnolanje, ngunakuntumanga malinga ngondolo munkumbi gwa maogo, bhai nkolanje lunda malinga lijoka na mwiitimalikanje malinga ngunda.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Mwiiteiganje na bhandunji, pabha shibhanshitakiyanje kulukumbi na kunkomanga ibhoko mmashinagogi gabhonji.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Shimpelekwanje ku bhatagwala na bhapalume kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nkupinga nngong'ondelanje kunngwabhonji na kubhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Bhai, pushimpelekwanje ku bhaukumula, nnakolanje lipamba kuti shimmeleketanje nndi, pabha malanga gaishilaga shimpegwanje sha bheleketa.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Pabha nngabha mmanganyanji shimmeleketanje, ikabhe Mbumu jwa Ainabhenunji a Nnungu abheleketa kupitila mmanganyanji.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
“Mundu shantendebhushe mpwakwe nkupinga abhulagwe na ainamundu shibhantendebhushe mwanagwabho na bhana shibhaatendebhukanje bhaakwetenje nikwaabhulaganga.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Bhandunji bhowe bhapinga kunshimanga mmanganya kwa ligongo lyangu nne. Ikabheje shaipililile mpaka kumpelo, shatapulwe.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
“Bhandu bhampotekangaga nshilambo shimo, mmutushilanje shilambo shina. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nkamaliyanga ilambo yowe ya Ishilaeli Mwana juka Mundu akanabhe ika.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
“Nkujiganywa akakumpunda nkujiganya jwakwe, wala ntumwa akakwaapunda bhakulungwa bhakwe.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Inakomboleka bhaajiganywa kubha malinga bhaajiganya bhabho, naka ntumwa kubha malinga bhakulungwa bhakwe. Monaga bhaashemilenje bhayene nyumba Bhelishebhuli, shibhaashemanje mena ga nyata kaje bhandu bha nnyumba jabho.
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
“Bhai, nnaajogopanje bhene bhandunjibho, pabha shoshowe shiunishilwe shipinga unukulwa, na shoshowe shiishwe shipinga undukulwa.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Lingummalanjilanga pa lubhindu, mmalanganje pashilangaya na limpilikenenje shinong'ona nnunguyanje palugwinjili.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Nnaajogopanje bhabhulaganga shiilupe, ikabheje bhakaakombolanga kuobhya mbumu, mbaya kwaajogopa bhakombola kuobhya shiilu na mbumu kumoto gwa ku Jeanamu. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Ndyondyo ibhili ikaushwa kwa ela jimope? Ikabheje jwakwa nkali jumo agwa pai gwangali Ainabhenunji a Nnungu kumumanya,
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
ikabheje mmanganyanji, nkali umbo ya mmitwe jenunji ishibhalanganywa yowe.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Bhai nnajogopanje, mmanganyanji mmammbonenji kupunda ndyondyo yaigwinji.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
“Mundu jojowe aangunda pa bhandu kuti jwangu, na nne shinyiye kunkong'ondela kwa Atati bhali kunnungu.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Ikabheje jojowe shaangane pa bhandu, numbe nne shininkane kwa Atati bhali kunnungu.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
“Nnaganishiyaje kuti njikwiya peleka ulele pa shilambolyo, nngabha! Nangajiya peleka ulele ikabhe ngondo.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Pabha njikwiya kwaalekanyanga mundu na ainagwe, mwali na akwabhe, akwemundu na nkamwanagwabho,
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
ashaamagongo bhaka mundu, bhandu bha nnyumba jakwe.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
“Akwaapinga ainagwe eu akwabhe kupunda shaambinga nne, akakombola kubha nkujiganywa jwangu, wala akumpinga mwanagwe eu nabhiti jwakwe kupunda nne, akakombola kubha nkujiganywa jwangu.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Wala mundu akaujigale nshalabha gwakwe ningagula akakombola kubha nkujiganywa jwangu.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Mundu apinga kulama gwangali ngulupalila nne, akakola gumi gwa pitipiti, ikabheje shakunde bhulagwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupalila nne, shakole gumi gwa pitipiti.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
“Akumposhelanga mmanganya, anamboshela nne, na amboshela nne, anakwaposhela bhandumile bhala.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Akumposhela nkulondola jwa a Nnungu kwa ligongo lyabha nkulondola jwa a Nnungu, shaposhele upo ilandana na ika nkulondola jwa a Nnungu. Akumposhela akwete aki kwa ligongo lyabha akwete aki, shaposhele upo ilandana na ika akwete aki.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Na mundu jojowe shampe jumo jwa munkumbi gwa bhene bhashoko bhashokobha, kapela shikombe sha mashi gaima, pabha bhaajiganywa bhangu, kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, jwakwapi shalepele poshela upo yakwe.”
