Luka 17
1 Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Nakuhotola mambu ga kuvakita vandu vambudila Chapanga gakotoka kuhumila, nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweikita genago gahumila.”
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 Ngayivii mbanga mundu mwenuyo, kukungiwa livala livaha la kuyagila musingu na kujwigiswa munyanja, kuliku kumyokisa mmonga wa vadebe ava.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Mujiyangalila! Ngati mlongo waku akuhokili, mywangila, akakukamula chigendelu umulekesayi.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 Hati ngati akuhokili mala saba kwa ligono limonga, na kukuwuyila mala saba. Kukukamula chigendelu, umulekesayi.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 Vamitumi vakamjovela Bambu Yesu, “Utiyonjakesa kusadika.”
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 Ndi Bambu akayangula, “Kusadika kwinu ngakuvi kudebe ngati lumbeyu ulu lwa haladali, ngamuhotwili kuujovela mkongo wa mkuyu, ‘Jitupula na ukajimelesa munyanja.’ Na wene ngauvayidakili.”
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 “Tijova mmonga winu, ana mvanda wa lihengu kumgunda, amala kudima mambelele. Mvanda yula peiwuya kuhuma kulihengu, Wu, ijoviwa na mkulu waki, ‘Bwela kanyata utama ulyayi chakulya?’
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 Lepi! Nambu yati akumjovela, ‘Nitendelekela chakulya na kunihengela mbaka penimala kulya na kuywelela, ndi na veve pewilya na kunywelela.’
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Wu, mkulu yula yati amsengusa mtumisi yula ndava akitili goha geamlagazili?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 Na nyenye mewawa, mukahengayi kila chindu chemulagizwi kuhenga, mujovayi, ‘Tete vavanda tihengili lihengu litu ndu.’”
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 Yesu peavi mulugendu kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, akapitila mumbaka ya Samaliya na Galilaya.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Peayingili muchijiji chimonga vandu kumi vevavi na mabudi vakambwelela. Vakayima cha patali.
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 Vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Yesu! Bambu! Utihengela lipyana!”
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Yesu peavaweni akavajovela, “Muhamba mukajilangisa kwa vakuteta va Chapanga.” Ndi pevavi mukuhamba vakanyamba.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 Mmonga wavi peajimanyi kuvya alamiswi, awuyili kuni akumlumbalila Chapanga kwa lwami luvaha.
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 Akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu na kumsengusa. Mundu mwenuyo avi Msamaliya.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 Nambu Yesu akakota, “Wu, vavi lepi vandu kumi vevanyambisiwi? Vangi tisa vala vavi koki?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Hinu kawaka vandu vangi vevawuyi kumsengusa Chapanga ndi ngayuyu myehe?”
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 Penapo akamjovela mundu mwenuyo, “Yima uhamba, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.”
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 Vafalisayu vamkoti Yesu kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela ndali. Mwene akavayangula, “Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela lepi cha kulolekana.
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 Kawaka mundu mweihotola kujova, ‘Uvi kuni, amala uvi kula!’ Muni unkosi wa Chapanga uvi pagati yinu.”
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Galabwela magono yati mwinogela kuliwona ligono limonga mumagono gaki Mwana wa Mundu, nambu yati nakuyiwona.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 Vandu yati vakuvajovela, ‘Lola, avi kula!’ Amala ‘Lola, avi kuni!’ Nambu nyenye mukoto kuwuka wala kuvalanda.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 Muni yati yivya ngati mbamba cheyimwetula chigafula kuhumila upandi umonga mbaka wungi, ndi yati cheivya ligono la kubwela kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 Nambu yikumgana hoti, kung'ahika neju na kubelelewa na vandu va chiveleku ichi.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 Ngati chayavili lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi cheyibwela kuvya magono ga kuwuya kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugega na kugegewa mbaka Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha. Fula yivaha yatonyili na manji gakamema na kuvakoma vandu voha.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 Mewawa ngati cheyavili magono ga Lutu. Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugula na kugulisa, kuhila mbeyu na kujenga nyumba.
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 Nambu ligono Lutu paawukili ku Sodoma, motu na chibiliti vyatonyili ngati fula kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga na kuvakoma voha.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 Mewawa ndi cheyivya ligono la Mwana wa Mundu peiwuya.”
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 “Ligono lenilo, mundu yoyoha mweivya kuvala ya nyumba akotoka kuyingila munyumba yaki kutola vindu vyaki, mewawa na yoyoha mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Muhololela gegamkolili mdala wa Lutu!
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Mundu Yoyoha mweigana kuusangula wumi waki, yati auyagisa na mundu yoyoha mweakuyagisa wumi waki yati akuugombola.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 Nikuvajovela kilu ya ligono lenilo, vandu vavili vevagonili pamonga palusongwani, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Kangi vadala vavili yati vivya pamonga mukuyaga mbeyu, mmonga yati itolewa na yungi yati ilekewa.”
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 Vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
37 Penapo vakamkota, “Koki Bambu?” Mwene akavayangula, “Pewivya mtuhi, ndi pevikonganekela manditi.”
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
