Lukka 10
1 Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’alonda abayigirizwa abalala nsanvu mu babiri, n’abatuma babiri babiri bamukulembere bagende mu buli kibuga ekinene, na buli kifo mwe yali anaatera okutuuka.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
2 N’abagamba nti, “Eby’okukungula bingi, naye abakozi abakungula batono. Noolwekyo musabe nannyini nnimiro, aweereze abakozi mu nnimiro ye.
And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
3 Kale, mugende. Kyokka mbatuma ng’abaana b’endiga mu misege.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Temugenda na nsimbi era temutwala nsawo ya kusabiriza wadde omugogo gw’engatto, ate temubaako gwe mulamusa mu kkubo.
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5 “Buli nnyumba gye muyingirangamu musookanga kugamba nti, ‘Emirembe gibeere mu nnyumba eno.’
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 Ennyumba eyo bw’eneebangamu omuntu ow’emirembe, emirembe gyammwe ginaabeeranga ku ye, bwe kitaabenga bwe kityo, emirembe gyammwe ginaabaddiranga.
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7 Mu nnyumba omwo, mwe musookedde, munaalyanga era ne munywa nabo, kubanga omukozi asaanira empeera ye. Temuvanga mu nnyumba emu ne mudda mu ndala.
Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
8 “Buli kibuga kye mutuukangamu ne babaaniriza, mulyenga ebyo bye babawadde okulya.
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9 Muwonyenga abalwadde abalimu, era mugambenga abantu abo nti, ‘Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bubasemberedde.’
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10 Naye bwe muyingiranga mu kibuga kyonna ne batabaaniriza, mulaganga mu nguudo zaakyo ne mugamba nti,
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
11 ‘N’enfuufu ekwatidde ku bigere byaffe tugibakunkumulira. Naye mumanye kino nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda busembedde.’
‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’
12 Mbategeeza nti ku lunaku luli, Sodomu kigenda kugumiikirizika okusinga ekibuga ekyo.
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Zikusanze, ggwe Kolaziini! Naawe zikusanze, Besusayida! Kubanga ebyamagero ekyakolerwa mu mmwe, singa byakolerwa mu Ttuulo ne mu Sidoni, abantu baamu bandibadde beenenya dda, nga bambadde n’ebibukutu nga batudde mu vvu okulaga nti beenenyezza.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Naye Ttuulo ne Sidoni birisaasirwa okusinga mmwe ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 Ate ggwe Kaperunawumu, oligulumizibwa okutuuka mu ggulu? Nedda, ogenda kuserengesebwa wansi emagombe. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)
16 “Buli abawuliriza mmwe aba awulirizza Nze, na buli abanyooma aba anyoomye Nze, n’oyo anyooma Nze aba anyoomye eyantuma.”
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
17 Awo abayigirizwa ensavu mu ababiri bwe baakomawo, nga basanyuka ne bategeeza Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, ne baddayimooni baatugondera mu linnya lyo.”
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nalaba Setaani ng’agwa okuva mu ggulu ng’okumyansa kw’eraddu!
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Laba mbawadde obuyinza okulinnya ku misota ne ku njaba ez’obusagwa n’okuwangula amaanyi gonna ag’omulabe. Era tewali kigenda kubakola kabi.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
20 Naye temusanyuka nnyo kubanga baddayimooni babagondera, wabula mujaguze nti amannya gammwe gawandiikiddwa mu ggulu.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’ajjula essanyu ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’agamba nti, “Nkutendereza Kitange, Mukama w’eggulu n’ensi, kubanga wakweka ebintu bino abagezi n’abayivu, naye n’obibikkulira abaana abato. Weewaawo Kitange, bw’otyo bwe wasiima.
At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
22 “Kitange yankwasa ebintu byonna. Tewali amanyi Mwana wabula Kitange, era tewali amanyi Kitange wabula Omwana awamu n’abo Omwana b’asiima okubamubikkulira.”
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23 Awo n’akyukira abayigirizwa be n’abagamba mu kyama nti, “Mulina omukisa mmwe okulaba bino bye mulaba.
Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 Kubanga mbagamba nti, bannabbi bangi ne bakabaka bangi abaayagala okulaba bye mulaba n’okuwulira bye muwulira naye tekyasoboka.”
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
25 Kale laba omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’asituka, ng’ayagala okugezesa Yesu, n’amubuuza nti, “Omuyigiriza, nsaana nkole ki okusikira obulamu obutaggwaawo?” (aiōnios g166)
One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa kitya mu mateeka? Gagamba gatya?”
“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27 Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’addamu nti, “‘Yagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, n’amaanyi go gonna, n’amagezi go gonna.’ Era ‘yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga naawe bwe weeyagala.’”
He answered, “‘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 ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ozzeemu bulungi. Kale kolanga bw’otyo oliba mulamu.”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29 Naye omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka okwagala okulaga nga bw’ali omutuufu n’agamba Yesu nti, “Muliraanwa wange ye ani?”
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Waaliwo omuntu eyali ava e Yerusaalemi ng’aserengeta e Yeriko, n’agwa mu banyazi, ne bamukwata ne bamwambulamu engoye ze ne bazimutwalako, ne bamukuba nnyo, ne bamuleka awo ku kkubo ng’abulako katono okufa.
Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Awo kabona eyali tategedde n’ajjira mu kkubo eryo, naye bwe yatuuka ku musajja ng’agudde awo ku kkubo n’amwebalama bwebalami n’amuyitako.
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Omuleevi naye yamutuukako n’amulaba, n’adda ku ludda olulala olw’oluguudo, n’amuyitako buyisi
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 Naye Omusamaliya bwe yali ng’ali ku lugendo lwe mu kkubo eryo, n’atuuka omusajja we yali; bwe yamulaba n’amukwatirwa ekisa,
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 n’ajja w’ali, n’amunyiga ebiwundu ng’ayiwako amafuta, ne wayini ebiwundu n’abisibako ebiwero. Awo n’ateeka omusajja ku nsolo ye n’amutwala mu nnyumba esulwamu abatambuze, n’amujjanjaba.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Enkeera Omusamaliya n’addira ddinaali bbiri n’aziwa nannyini nnyumba. N’amugamba nti, ‘Nkusaba omujjanjabe, era ensimbi ezizo zonna z’olikozesa nga zino ze nkulekedde ziweddewo, ndizikuddizaawo nga nkomyewo.’”
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
36 “Kale olowooza, ku bantu abo abasatu aluwa eyali muliraanwa w’omusajja oli eyagwa mu banyazi?”
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’addamu nti, “Oyo eyamukolera ebyekisa.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Naawe genda okole bw’otyo.”
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be nga bali ku lugendo lwabwe, ne batuuka mu kabuga akamu, omukazi erinnya lye Maliza n’asembeza Yesu mu maka ge.
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 Yalina muganda we erinnya lye Maliyamu. N’atuula awo wansi ku bigere bya Yesu, ng’awuliriza ebigambo Yesu bye yali ayogera.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 Naye Maliza yali yeetawula mu mirimu ng’ategekera abagenyi, n’ajja awali Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, tofaayo ng’olaba muganda wange andekedde emirimu nzekka?”
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
41 Naye Mukama waffe n’amuddamu nti, “Maliza, Maliza, ebintu ebikutawaanya bingi,
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42 naye waliwo ekintu kimu kyokka ekyetaagibwa, Maliyamu alonze omugabo omulungi ogutagenda kumuggyibwako.”
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
