Luka 10
1 Baada ya makowe ago, Ngwana atichawa benge sabini na kubatuma abele abele bamlongoli katika mji ni enea atilitarajia yenda.
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 Atikuwabakiya, “Mauno ni ganambone, lakini wapanga kazi ni achache. Hivyo basi mulobe Ngwana wa mauno, ili kwamba atumeatume haraka apanga kazi katika mauno gake.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send laborers to gather in his harvest.
3 Muyende katika miji, Mulole, nindakubatuma kati ngondolo katika mapwa mwitu.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Kana mpotwe mfuko wa mbanje, wala mikoba ya usafiri, wala ilatu, wala kana musalimii yeyoti mundela.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Katika nyumba yeyoti mwamujingile, kwanza mubaye, “Amani ibii katika nyumba yinu.'
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Kati mundu wa amani abile palo, amani yinu ipala igala kunani yake, lakini kama sivyo, ipala buya kwinu.
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 Muigale katika nyumba yoo, mulye ni munywangange chabakipya, kwa maana mwapanga kazi astahili mchaala wake, Kana muhame boka kunyumba yoo yenda yenge.
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 Mji wowote wa'mujingile, ni kubapokya mulye chochoti chakibekwa nnonge yinu,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 ni mponyange atamwe bababile mwoo. Mubaye kwabe,'ufalme wa Nnongo uichile karibu yinu'
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Lakini katika mji wowti wa mwamujingiya na bangana kuwapokiya, muyende panja katika ndela ni baya,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 'Hata vumbi lya mji uno lalinata magolo mwitu tunalikung'unda dhidi yinu! lakini mtambwange leno, Ufalme wa Nnongo utikaribia.'
‘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 Nindakuwabakiya kwamba lichoba lya hukumu yopanga ni uvumilivu zaidi kwa Sodoma kuliko mji wuno.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
13 Ole wako Korazini, Ole wako Bethsaida! Kati kachi ngolo yaipangite nkati yako ingalipangika Tiro ni Sidoni, Bangalitubu zamani kweli, bakitama nkati ya magolo ga magunia ni majivu.
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 Lakini ipala istaimilivu zaidi ya machoba ga hukumu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni zaidi yinu.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
15 Wenga Kapernaumu, ufikiri kakatuliwa mpaka kumaunde? Ntopo, upala uluka pae mpaka kuzimu. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ywa abapekania mwee anipekania nee, ni yeyoti abakana anikana nee, na yeyoti ywanikana nee ankana ywa anitumile.”
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 Balo sabini batibuya kwa puraha, baya, “Ngwana hata moka watupekania kwa liina lyako”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Yesu atikuwabakiya, “Nambweni nchela akitomboka boka kumaunde kati radi.
And Jesus replied, “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Lola, nitakuwapea mamlaka ya lebata mngambo ni nge, ni ngupu yoti ya adui, ni ntopo chochoti kwa ndela yeyoti chakipala kubadhuru mwenga.
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 Hata nyoo kana mupulaike tu katika leno, kwamba roho indabatii, lakini mpulaike zaidi kwamba malina yinu yaandikilwe kumaunde.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.”
21 Katika muda wowolo atipulai sana katika Roho mpeletau, ni kubaya, “Nindakusifu wenga Tate, Ngwana wa kumaunde ni kilambo, kwa sababu upangite makowe aga boka kwa bene hekima ni akili, ni kuyaumukwa kwa babapundishwe kwaa, kati bana achunu. Ndio Tate, kwa kuwa yapendezite katika minyo gako.”
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 Kila kilebe kitikabidhiwa kwango ni Tate bango, ni ntopo ywatanga Tate ni nyai ila mwana, ni yeyoti ywatamani mwana kuyaumukwa kwake.”
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 Atikuwagalambukia anapunzi bake baya faragani, “woti barikiwa bababona haga ambayo mwenga mwagabona.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Ninda kuwabakiya mwenga, kwamba anambone ni afalme batitamani bona makowe mwamuyabona, ni wayabweni kwaa, niyowa mwamuyowa mwenga, ni bayowine kwaa.
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 Lola mwalimu pulani wa saliya ya Kiyahudi atiyema ni kumjaribu, baya, “Mwalimu nipange namani niurithi ukoti wangayomoka?” (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 Yesu atikum'bakiya, “Itiandikwa namani katika saliya? Indachomeka kitiwi?”
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 Kayangwa ni kubaya, “Utampenda Ngwana Nnongo wako kwa mwoyo wako wpti, kwa roho yako yoti, kwa ngupu yako yoti, ni kwa malango gako goti, ni jirani yak kati nafsi yako mwene.”
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 neighbor as you love yourself.”
28 Yesu kabaya, “Uyangite kwa usahihi, panga nyoo ni upala tama.”
“You have answered right,” said Jesus, “Do that, and you will live.”
29 Lakini mwalimu, atitamani kujibalangia haki mwene, atikum'bakiya Yesu, “ni jirani yango ni nyai?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Yesu kayaangwa ni kubaya, “Mundu pulani abile uluka boka Yerusalem yenda Yeriko. Atitomboka kati ya anyang'anyi, batolite mali yake, ni kumkombwa ni kumleka karibu ya waa.
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 Kwa bahati kuhani pulani atiuluka kwa ndela yoo, pamweni atipita upande wenge.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Nyonyonyo mlawi pia, paikite mahali palo ni kumwona apitike upande wenge.
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 Lakini Msamaria yumo, atisafiri, apitike palo pabile mundu yolo pamweni apatike huruma.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Atikumkaribia ni kumtaba ilonda yake, ni kumpenganikia mauta ya divai kunani yake. Nakum'beka kunani ya mnyama wake, ni kumpeleka katika nyumba ya angeni ni kumuhudumia.
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 Lichoba lenge atitola dinari ibele, ni kumpeya mmiliki wa nyumba ya angeni ni kum'bakiya,'muhudumie ni chochoti cha ziada chautumia, mbalepa panibuya.'
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 Ni ywako kati ya haba atatu, yafikiri, abile i jirani kwake ywembe ywatombwike kati ya anyang'anyi?”
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Mwalimu atibaya, “Ni yolo alaite huruma kwake.” Yesu atikum'bakiya, “Uyende ni upange nyonyoo.”
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; at which Jesus said, “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 Mbeambe pabasafiri batijingya katika ijiji pulani, ni nnwawa yumo lina lyake Martha atikumkaribisha kunyumba yake.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Abile ni dada bake akemwa Mariamu, yatamile pamagolo ya Ngwana ni pekania neno lyake.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Lakini Martha atikuipeya shughuli yanambone za anda chakulya. Atiyenda kwa Yesu, ni baya, “Ngwana, ujali kwa kwamba dada bango atinilekiya nihudumiye kichango. Hivyo basi ubakiyeaiche kuniyangatiya.”
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 Lakini Ngwana atiyangwa ni kum'bakiya, Martha, martha, unachumbuka kunani ya makowe yanambone,
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 Lakini ni kikowe chimo tu chema, Mariamu atichawa kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa boka kwake.”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.”
