Luka 10
1 Linu chinga kwamana izo zintu, Simwine nichaketa bantu bakwana makumi amana iyaza limwina ni overe Linu nichabatuma bovere bovere, habusu bwakwe mwitolopo ni tolopo mwava kuswanela kuyenda.
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 Nichawamba kuvali, ikukutulo yingi, linu basinza bache. Nihakubabulyo muvuze Simwine wekutulo atumine bamwi vasinzi mwikutulo yakwe.
‘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 Muyende mwizila yenu. Mubone, nimitumina hanze sina imbelele zina mukati ka batuhu.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Kanjimuhindi chikwama chamashereñi kanjimuhindi mukotana wazizwato kamba isangu. Mi nsezi mulumelisi zumwi ni zumwi yesemusangane munzila.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Izubo ihi neihi yetimwinjile, Chama tangilo muwambe, 'Inkozo ive mweyinu izubo!,
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Haiva mutu wekozo mwena mukati, Inkozo muiikale hakwe, kono haiva kanji mona, mwivole kwenu.
Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
7 Mwikale mwizubo iswana, mulye ni kunywa zonse zivamiha, muvereki uyelere kuhewa impeyi yakwe. Kanji mukayendi mwinzuvo ni nzuvo.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Yonse itolopo yente nimwinjire, mi vamitambula, mulye zosezivamiha,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 mi muhoze vose valwala venakwateni, Muwambe kuvali, 'mutekuti impuso ye Reeza chiyeza hafwihi nanwe.'
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Inakoyonse hamwinjila mwitolopo mi kava mitambuli, muyende haze lyamingwangwa mi mukatekuti,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 'Nanga isuko lizwa mwitolopo yavo likakatile kuma ntende enu muliva limi lwisa muliva nkunkumwine! Linu mwi zive izi: Impuso ye Reeza chiyeza hafuhi',
“We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.”
12 Ikumbya nimiwambila nitii mwelina izuba lyekatulo Sodoma kapangiwe sinte kuhita yina itolopo.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
13 Wina bumai iwe, korazini! Wina bumai iwe Betsaida! Mukuti kakuli zivapangiwa nanwe kambe zivapangiwa ni Tire ni Sidoni, niva vaki kale, kwikala niva zwete masaka niku lisinga itwe,
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 Nihakuba bulyo Tire ni sidoni kazipangiwe sinte kuhita inwe mwinako yekatulo kuhita inwe.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Iye mwine yoteka kwenu uteka kwangu, linu yomikana ukana name, mukuti yonikana ukana niyabanitumi.”
Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.’
17 Ba makumi akwana iyaza limwina nimakumi overe nichibakavola nibasangite, nivatakuti,'”Simwine, mane ni madimona atuzuwa mwizina lyako.”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
18 Jesu nichata kuvali, “niva boni satani chowa kwiwulu sina invula ivesa.
And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Mubone, nivamihi innguzu zakulyata izoka nitu vumwe, nihewulu lyenguzu zachila, mi kakwina mukwa umwi wete nichi miholofazo kawo.
Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
20 Nihakuva bulyo kanji musangi kezo bulyo, kuti ihuho zami zuwa, linu musange mukuti mazina enu añoletwe mwi mbuka yakwi wulu”.
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.’
21 Mweyo inako iswana nicha taba ahulu Muluhuho Lunjolola, nichatakuti, “ni kulumbeka, Tayo, Simwine wewulu ni ikanda, mukuti izizintu ubaziwungwili vena mano nivazuwisisa, ni kuziwumbwila vana basana vavarutwa, sina vahwilezana, Eni, Ita, Mukuti chivali kusangisa kumbaliyenu.”
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
22 “Zintu zose nivazihewa kwatayo, mukuti kakwina wizi kuti Mwana njozuhi mbwiteli Itayo, imi kakwina yowizi Tayo mbwiteli mwanakwe hape yense yonsalwa kumwanakwe kumuzivahaza kwali.”
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone 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 Linu nicha sandukira kuvarutwana vakwe ni kuva wambira kwimbali, “Bafuyoletwe avo vantu vavona zintu zimuvwene.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Nimilwira, mapolofita vangi ni vasimwine vava sakite kuvona zintu zimuvwene, linu kana vavazivoni, mane nikuzuwa zintu zimuzuwile, imi kana vavazizuwi.”
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
25 Mulole, umwi muruti wamulao wa Majuda nicha zimana kusaka kumulika, nichati, “Muruti, munipange vuti kuti niwole kuyola vuhalo vusamani?” (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 eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesu chata kwali, “Chizi chiñoletwe mwimbuka yamulao? Kati wuvala vule?”
‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
27 Linu chinge tava chatakuti, “Mosake simwine Ireeza nikulo yako yose ni mozo wakowose, ni nguzu zakozose, ni mizezo yakoyose, ni yovambee naye sina njewe.”
His reply was – ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as you love yourself.’
28 Jesu nata kwali, “Wetava sinte. Wupange, vovu lyo imi mohale.”
‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
29 linu muruti, kulakanamina kuli nyemuna iyemwine, nichata kwa Jesu, “linu univambene naye njeni?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
30 Imi hetava ikalavo Jesu nata kuti, “Mukwame zumwi avakuzwa kwa Jerusalema kuya kwa Jerico. Nicha wila mumayaza avansa, ni chi vamuchupulisa ni kumunyanga zintu zakwe, nichi vamundamona nikumusiya uzuminine.
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 Chetohonolo muprista avakuhita mweyo inzila, chinga muvona, nicha muzimbuluka.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Chokuswana mulevi naye, chingasika hachivaka chiswana ni kumubona, nichazimbulukila 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 Linu mukwame Wamusamaria, hava kuyenda mweyo inzila, Chinga muvona, chamu nfwila inse.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Chamu chunina nikusumina zilavi zakwe, niku chuka ioyili ni veine hateni. Ni kumutatika hembelesa yakwe, nicha muleta mwi hotela, kwiza kumulwalikila mwateni.
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 Imi izuva lichilila chahinda impondo zovere. imi nichaziha mwine we hotela, “imi nichamuwambila kuti, zintu zonse zete notendise, china kabola, munize nikuluwere.
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Take care of him,” he said, “and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.”
36 Imi njeni kwava votatwe, yo hupula, kuti yava vambene naye hawila muyaza abansa?
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 'Imi muruti nichatii, “Yava mufwili inse,” Jesu nichata kwali, “Yende ukapange ziswana.”
‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
38 Linu havava kwavuyenda, niche njila mu munzi wumwi, mwanakazi zumwi yava kusupwa Mareta nicha mutambula mwizuvo yakwe.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Avena mwache wamwanakazana yavakusupwa Maria, yave kele havunsu vwamatende a Simwine niku zuwa mazwi akwe.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Kono Mareta avapatehete nimitendo mingi yakwihika kuti avayumbule. Nicha yende kwa Jesu, Nikuka cho, “Simwine, kovilaeli kuti mwachangu wanisiya nini seveza neke? linu umuwambile zanituse,”
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 imi Simwine nicha mwitava nati, Mareta, Mareta, uvilaezwa nizintu zingi,
‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 imi chitu choke chisakahala, linu Maria waketa chintu chilukite, chisa woli kuhindiwa kwali.
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.’
