Luka 17
1 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Indu ikwaatendanga bhandu bhatendanje yambi shiikoposhelepe. Ikabheje ole gwakwe jwene mundu akwiitenda ikoposhele jula.
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 Ikaliji mbaya atabhilwe liganga likulungwa lya yajila nnukoi nitumbushiywa mmashi, nngabha kunnebhya jumo bhene bhabhashokobha
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 Mwiiteiganje! “Monaga mpwenu annebhelaga, munneye, aipetaga, munneshelele.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Na nkali annebhelaga mala shabha kwa lyubha limo, na kila mwanja alikunjiila akuno alinkuti, ‘Ngunakwiipeta nneshelele’ munneshelele.”
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 gubhaabhalanjilenje Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, “Ntujenjesheye ngulupai.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje. “Nkakwetenje ngulupai jishoko kapela ja malinga mmbeju ja aladali, nkakombolenje kuubhalanjila agu nkujugu, ‘Tutumbuka ukaipandishile mbhaali,’ ukampilikenenje.”
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 “Ibhaga mundu jumo munkumbi gwenunjimo akwete ntumishi, analima eu anashunga ngondolo. Bhuli, pabhuja kukoposhela kunngunda, shammalanjile ntumishijo. ‘Tenda shangu kuulye shalya’?
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 Nng'oo! Shammalanjile, ‘Ndeleshela shalya, gwilume undumishile mpaka maliye kulya na ng'wa, penepo numbe ugwe shulye na ng'wa.’
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 Bhuli, mundujo shantendele eja jwene ntumishijo kwa ligongo lya maliya yowe yalajilwe?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Bhai na mmanganya nneyo peyo nkamulangaga yowe innajilwenje, mmeleketanje kuti, ‘Uwe tubhatumishi twangali mbwaiko, tushikamulape maengo getu.’”
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 A Yeshu bhali mumpanda kwenda ku Yelushalemu bhashinkupita mumpika gwa ku Shamalia na ku Galilaya.
And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Bhalijinjila nshilambo shimo, bhandunji kumi bhamangundula bhashinkwajiilanga a Yeshu, gubhajimingene kwa taliya.
And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
13 Gubhautiyenje lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Mmakulungwa a Yeshu, ntubhonele shiya!”
And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
14 A Yeshu bhakaabhonanjeje gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnjendangane nkailangulanje kubhaabhishila.” Bhai, akuno bhalikwendangana, gubhalamilenje.
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 Jumo jula akabhoneje kuti alamile, gwabhujile alikwaakuya a Nnungu kwa lilobhe lya utiya.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 Gwatindibhele pa makongono ga a Yeshu nkutenda eja. Jwenejo paaliji Nshamalia.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhabhushiye, “Bhuli, nngabha bhandu kumi bhalamiywenje? Tisha bhala bhalinginji kwei?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Bhakwapinji bhandu bhananji bhabhujilengene kukwaakuya a Nnungu, ikabhe nnjenipeju?”
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 Kungai gubhammalanjile mundu jula, “Jinuka gwiijendele, ngulupai jako jikulamiye.”
And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.
20 Lyubha limo, Ashimapalishayo bhashinkwaabhuyanga a Yeshu, “Upalume gwa a Nnungu puukwiya shakani?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Upalume gwa a Nnungu ukaika kwa bhoneka.
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 bhakabheleketanga, ‘Aguno apano’ eu ‘Agula akula.’ Pabha Upalume gwa a Nnungu muuli munkumbi gwenunji.”
nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
22 Kungai gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Shigaishe mobha gushinnokolilanje kapela nkalibhweninji lyubha limo lika Mwana juka Mundu, ikabheje nkalibhonanga.
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 Na bhandunji shibhammalanjilanje, ‘Nnolanje abhala akula eu, Abhano apano!’ Nnaakagulanje.
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 Pabha shiibhe malinga kumeta kwa nnjai, jinabhalula shangupe nilangaya mmbali yowe, nneyo peyo shiipingabha lyubha lya kwiya Mwana juka Mundu.
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 Ikabheje gakanabhe koposhela genego, anapinjikwa apotekwe kwa kaje na kanwa na bhandunji bha luluno lubheleko luno.”
But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
26 Na malinga shiyaliji mobha ga a Nuu, shiipinga kubha gene mobha gaka Mwana juka Mundu.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 Bhandunji bhatendaga lyanganga na ng'wa, bhatendaga lombanga na lombwa, mpaka lyubha libhajinjile a Nuu shapina. Nduluko gujiishe nikwaanititimiyanga bhowe.
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 Nneyo peyo shiibhe malinga puyakoposhele mobha ga a Lutu. Bhandunji bhatendaga lyanganga na ng'wa, bhaliumanga na pinda, bhalilimanga na shenga.
And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 Ikabheje lyubha libhajawile a Lutu ku Shodoma, moto na bhonga yashinkunya mbuti ula kukopoka kunnungu, nikwaatitimiyanga bhowe.
But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 Na malinga pushiibhe lyubha lya kwiya Mwana juka Mundu.
It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
31 “Lyene lyubhalyo, jojowe shabhe pashitubhili na indu ili nnyumba, anatulushe kutola indu yakwe. Nneyo peyo ali kunngunda anabhuji kumui kutola shindu shoshowe.
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 Nkumbushilanje gaaimene akongobhabho a Lutu.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Jojowe shapinje kwiitapula nnyene shaiobhye, na shaiobhyejo shaitapule.
Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.
34 Ngunakummalanjilanga, shene shilosho bhandunji bhabhili bhagonilenje pamo, jumo shotolwe na juna shalekwe.
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 Bhanabhakongwe bhabhili bhaliyaganga pamo, jumo shatolwe na juna shalekwe.”
Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
36 Bhandunji bhabhili shibhabhanganje mungunda, jumo shatolwe na juna shalekwe.
This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
37 Penepo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kwei Mmakulungwa?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Puugonile ntui ni pugaimana matumbui.”
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.
