Luka 10
1 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.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 Nabhabhwila ati, “ebhyokugeswa ni bhafu, nawe abhakosi bhemilimu ni bhatoto. Mbe kulwejo musabhe Omukama wa wobhugesi koleleki atume bhwangu abhakosi bhemilimu mulugeso lwaye.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 Mugende mumisi. Mbe mwimenye, nabhatuma lwa jinama agati ye emisege ja ibara.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Mwasiga okugega omufuko gwa jiela, nolwo emikoba eja bhanu abhaja lugendo, nolwo bhilato, mwasiga nokukesha wonawona munjila.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet any one on your journey.
5 Mukengila munyumba yonayona, echokwamba mwaike kutya, 'Omulembe gubhemo munyumba munu.'
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Akasanga alimo omunu womulembe munyumba eyo, omulembe gweme ogusigala ingulu yaye, nawe akasanga atalimo, omulembe ogusubha kwimwe.
Then, if any one there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest upon him; but if not, it will come back upon yourselves.
7 Mwikale munyumba eyo, mulye no kunywa bhihu abhabhaletela, kulwokubha omukosi we emilimu kabhonaga omuyelo. Mwasiga okufuruka mukaja nyumba indi.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth his wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Mukengila mumusi na bhakabhalamila, mulye chonachona chinu abhaleta imbele yemwe.
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 Muoshe abhalwaye bhanu bhali mumusi ogwo. Mubhabhwile ati, 'Obhukama bhwa mulwire bhwafogee ayeyi nemwe.'
cure the sick there, and tell people ‘The Kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Nawe mumusi gwona gwona gunu mwakengilemo bhasige okubhalamila, musokemo muje anja kunjila nimwaika ati,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 'Nolwo oluteli lo omusi gunu lunu lugwatiliye kumaguru geswe chalukubhula lubhe ingulu yemwe! Nawe mulagumenya gunu, Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwafogee yeyi.'
‘We wipe off the very dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the Kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 Enibhabhwila kutiya olunaku lwa indamu lulibha lwokwikomesha muno ku Sodoma kusiga omusi ogwo.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on ‘That Day’ than the doom of that town.
13 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.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the Miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Nawe kulibhao okwikomesha muno ku musi gwa Tiro na Sidoni kulunaku olwa indamu kusiga emwe.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the Judgment than yours.
15 Awe Kaperanaumu, owiganilishati bhalikutula ingulu okukinga mulwire? Pai, outelembushwa emwalo okukinga nyombe. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you ‘exalt yourself to heaven’? ‘You shall go down to the Place of Death.’ (Hadēs g86)
16 Oyo alibhategelesha emwe kantegelesha anye, na wonawona unu alibhalema emwe kalema anye, na wonawona oyo kandema anye kalema unu antumile anye.”
He who listens to you is listening to me, and he who rejects you is rejecting me; while he who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his Messenger.”
17 Bhaliya makumi musanju bhasubhile kwobhukondelelwa muno, nibhaika ati, “Mukama nolwo amasambwa ona agachungwa mwisina lyao.”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully: “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Yesu nabhabhwila ati, Nalolele shetani nagw aokusoka mulwire lwo olukubha.
And Jesus replied: “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Mbe mulole, nabhayana obhuyinga bhwo kutaja jinjoka na jinge, na amanaga gonna agomusoko, na chitalio chona chona na kwa njila yonaona chinu chilibhanyamula.
Remember, I have given you the power to ‘trample upon serpents and scorpions,’ and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing shall ever harm you in any way.
20 Nolwo kutiyo mwasiga kukondelewa kwo omusango gumwi ila gunu, nawe mukondelelwe muno kulwokwandikwa kwanamasina gemwe mulwire.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in Heaven.”
21 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.”
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.
22 “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.”
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.”
23 Nabhaindukila abheigisibhwa nabhabhwila bhali kasugumbaju, “Bhana libhando bhanu abhalola ganu ago omulola emwe.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Enibhabhwila emwe kutya, abhalagi bhafu na abhakama bhesigombelaga okulola ganu omulola, nawe bhatagabhwene no okungwa ganu omungwa.”
for, I tell you, many Prophets and Kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 Mbe lola, omwiigisha umwi owebhilagilo ebhye Chiyaudi emeleguyu namusaka Yesu naika ati, “Mwiigisha, nikole chinuki koleleki nilye omwandu gwo bhuanga bhwa akajanende?” (aiōnios g166)
Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to ‘gain Immortal Life’?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu namubhwila ati, “Jandikilwe kutiki mubhilagilo? Ousomaga kutiki?”
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 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.”
His reply was — “‘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 thou dost thyself.’”
28 Yesu naika ati, “Wasubhya kisi. Mbe nukole kutyo ouja okulama.”
“You have answered right,” said Jesus; “do that, and you shall live.”
29 Nawe omwiigisha nenda okwibhalila obhulengelesi omwenekili, namubhwila Yesu ati, “Ko mwikashanya wani niga?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?”
30 Yesu nasubhya naika ati, “Omunu umwi aliga nolomoka okusoka Yerusalemu najaga Yeriko. Mbe nagwa mumabhoko agabhasakusi, nibhamusakula ebhinu bhaye bhyona nibhamubhuma nokumusigao alikuti afuye.
To which Jesus replied: “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Kutiki ebhando, omugabhisi umwi aliganolomoka kunjila eyo, ejile amulola netulila kumbali.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Omulawi ona nakola kutyo, ejile akakinga ao namulola, ona netulila kumbali.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Nawe omusamaria umwi unu aliga naja lugendo lwaye, nalabha ao aliga omuuta. Ejile amulola nasilwa nechigongo.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Namufogelako namusemba obhuuta bhwaye, namusiga amafuta na idivai kumubhili gwaye. Amulinyishe ingulu ya intyanyi yaye, namusila munyumba ya abhagenyi nokumulwasha.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Bwire bhucheye nagega jiyela dinari ebhili, nayana kanya nyumba ya abhagenyi namubhwila ati, 'Numulwashe na chona chona chinu chileyongesha echowakakolele, nakaje okukulia nakasubhe.'
The next day he took out four shillings and gave them to the inn-keeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 Mbe ni uya mubhanu abho ukeganilisha, unu aliga ali mwikashanya wa unu agwiliye mumabhoko ga abhasakusi?”
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Omwiigisha nasubhya ati, “Ni unu elesishe echigongo kumuuta.” Mbe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Genda aona ukole kutyo.”
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; on which Jesus said: “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 Mbe ao bhaliga bhachagenda mulugendo, nibhakinga muchijiji chimwi, no omugasi umwi natogwa Marita namukumililanika ewaye.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Omugasi oyo aliga ali namuyala wabho natogwaga Mariamu, unu aliga eyanjile mumagulu go Omukama nokutegelesha omusango gwaye.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 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.”
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said: “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 Nawe Lata Bhugenyi namusubhya namubhwila ati, “Marita, Marita, ounyakilila magambo mafu,
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 nawe liliwo egambo limwi la elya insonga. Mariamu asola linu likondele, na litakuja kumusokako.”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
