Luka 17
1 Yesu akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “mambo ghabhisababisha bhanu bhabhombayi dhambi ghilondeka lepi kuhomela, lakini ole wake jha isababisya!
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 Ngajhijhele heri munu ojhu ngaafungibhu ligenga lya lilopa lya kusyaghila pa n'singu ni kutaghibhwa mu bahari kuliko kumbomba mmonga ghwa abha bhadebe akhetayi dhambi.
It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Mukilendayi. Kama ndongo bhu akukosili umwonyayi, na akutubuajhi msameajhi.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Kama akukosili mara saba kwa ligono limonga akahida kwa bhebhe ijobha, 'nitubu,' m'sameajhi!”
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.
5 Mitume bha muene bhakan'jobhela Bwana, “Tujhongeselayi imani jha jhotu.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 Bwana akajobha, “Kama ngamujha ni imani kama punje jha haradarii, ngamubhwesi kuujobhela libehe e'le lya mkuyu, 'dupukayi na ukamelayi mu bahari,' nibhwene ngaubhatiili.
And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 Lakini niani miongoni mwa muenga, ambajhe ajhe ni mtumishi jhailema n'gonda au jhaidima kondoo, ibeta kun'jobhela akerukayi kun'gonda hidayi manyata na utamayi uliajhi kyakulya?
But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?
8 Je ibeta lepi kun'jobhela niandalilaiji kyakulya niliajhi, na ukikongayi mkanda na unitumikilayi mpaka panibeta kumala kulya ni kunywa. Baada jha apo wibeta kulya ni kunywa?
Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?
9 Ibeta lepi kumbombesya mtumishi ojhu kwandabha atimisi ghala gha an'jobhili?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Mebhu ni muenga mkabhombayi gha mlaghisibhu mjobhayi 'Tete twe bhatumishi twetukastahili lepi. Tubhombi tu ghala ghaghalondekeghe kubhombeka.'
Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.
11 Jhatokili kwamba bho isafiri kulota Yerusalemu, a'petili mpakani mwa Samaria ni Galilaya.
And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Bhoijhingili mu kijiji kimonga, okhu abhonene ni bhanu kumi bhabhajhele ni ukoma. Bhakajhema patali
And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
13 Bhakapwesya sauti bhakajobha “Yesu, Bwana tuhurumilayi.”
And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
14 Bho abhabhwene akabhajobhela, “Mulolayi mkakilesiajhi kwa makuhani.” na bhene bho bhilota bhatakasiki.
And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.
15 Mmonga ghwa bhene bho ambwene aponili, akakerebhuka kwa sauti mbaha akan'sifu K'yara.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 Akapiga magoti mu magolo gha Yesu akan'shukuru. Muene ajhele Msamaria.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu ajibili, akajobha, “Je bhatakasikilepi bhoha kumi? bhajhendaku bhala bhamana tisa?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Ajhelepi hata mmonga jhaabhonekene kukerebhuka ili kun'tukusya k'yara, isipokujha ojho n'hesya?”
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 Akan'jobhela, “Jhinukayi na alotayi imani jha jhobhi jhikuponyisi.”
And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.
20 Bho akotibhu ni Mafarisayo kujha ufalme bhwa K'yara bhwihida ndali, Yesu akabhajibu akajobha, “Ufalme bhwa K'yara sio khenu ambakyo kibhwesya kubhonekana.
And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
21 Wala bhanu bhibeta lepi kujobha, 'Langayi apa!' au, 'Langayi khola!' kwandabha ufalme bhwa K'yara ajhele mugati mwa jhomo.”
nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
22 Yesu akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “Wakati wibeta kufika ambapo mwibeta kunoghela kujhibhona moja jha magono gha mwana ghwa Adamu, lakini mwibeta lepi kujhibhona.
And he said to the disciples, The days will come when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it.
23 Bhibeta kubhajobhela, 'Langayi, khola! Langayi apa!' Lakini msil'oti kulanga, wala kubhakhesya,
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 Kama umeme bhwa radi kya bhwimulika mu anga kubhwanjila lubhafu l'ongi hadi l'ongi. Mebhu hata mwana ghwa Adamu ibeta kujha mebhu mu ligono lya muene.
For just as the lightning, its flashing from under the sky to under the sky, illuminates, so will the Son of man be in his day.
25 Lakini hoti jhibeta kulondeka kutesibhwa mu mambo ghamehele ni kubelibhwa ni kizazi ekhe.
But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
26 Kama kyajhikajhele magono gha Nuhu, ndo kyajhibetakujha mu magono gha mwana ghwa Adamu.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 Bhalili, bhanywili, bhakagega ni kugegikibhwa mpaka ligono lela ambalyo Nuhu bho ajhingili mu safina ni gharika ikahida ni kubhaangamisya bhoha.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Ndo kyajhikajhele mu magono gha Lutu, bhalili, kunywa, bhagolili ni kuhemelesya, kulema na bhajengili.
And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 Lakini ligono lela Lutu bho abhokili Sodoma, jhatonyili fula jha muoto ni kiberiti kuhoma kumbinguni jhabhaangamisi bhoha.
But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 Mebhu ndo kyajhibetakujha mu ligono lela lya mwana ghwa Adamu paibetakufunulibhwa.
It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
31 Ligono e'lu, usinduhusu jha ajhele padari jha nyumba aseleleyi kutola bidhaa sya muene mugati munyumba. Na usinduhusu jha ajhele kun'gonda kukerebhuka kunyumba.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.
32 Mkhombokajhi ghwa Lutu.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Jhejhioha jha ijaribu kughaokola maisha gha muene ibeta kughajhasya, lakini jhejhioha jha ibeta kujhesya maisha gha muene ibeta kughaokola.
Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.
34 Nikabhajobhela, kiru ekhu kibeta kujha ni bhanu bhabhele pa kitanda kimonga. Mmonga ibeta kujha ni jhongi ilekibhwa.
I say to you, in that night there will be two in one bed. The one man will be taken, and the other man will be left.
35 Kubetakujha ni bhadala bhabhele bhisyagha nafaka pamonga,
Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
36 mmonga itolibhwa ni jhongi ilekibhwa.”
This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
37 Wakamwuliza, “Wapi, Mungu?” akabhajobhela, “Pale ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai hukusanyika kwa pamoja.”
And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.
