Luka 10
1 Shakapanu Mtuwa kawasyagula wamonga malongu saba na awili. Kawatuma wamlongoleri awili awili wagendi muvijiji vyoseri vyakafira kugenda yomberi.
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 Kawagambira, “Viboga vya kubena vivuwa, kumbiti wantu wakubena wadidini. Su mumluwi mweni kana lirambu kajegi wantu wakubena mulirambu lyakuwi.
‘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 Vinu su mgendi, muvimani handa nankuwatuma mwenga gambira mwawakondolu wawagenda pakati pa wamaminyi.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Namtola muhaku gwakutulila mpiya, ama libegi, ama vilwatu, namumlamsiya muntu yoseri munjira.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Pamwingira mnumba yoseri, kwanja mtakuli hangu, ‘Ponga iweri mnumba amu!’
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Handa pakaweriti yakafira ponga, ponga yamwenga hayikali nayomberi, handa ndiri, ponga yamwenga hayiwawuyili mwaweni.
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 Mwikali mnumba ayi pamliya na kulanda vyawakupanani, toziya yakatenda lihengu kafiruwa shibenamgongu shakuwi. Namgenda mala numba ayi ama yimonga.
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 Handa pamsoka muisi na wantu pawawashemerani, mlii vyawakupani,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 muwaponiziyi walweli muisi ilii na muwagambiri wantu, ‘Ufalumi wa Mlungu wapakwegera kwa mwenga.’
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Kumbiti pamwingila muisi yoseri, wantu pawawalema kuwashemerani, muwuki na mlongi,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 ‘Ata lidika lyalitulemeteriti mumagulu mwetu tulipunda na haliweri likalipiru. Kumbiti muvimani kuwera Ufalumi wa Mlungu wapakwegera.’
“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 Nakaka nukugambirani, lishaka lilii Isi ayi hayipati azabu nkulu kuliku ilii ya wantu wa Sodoma.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
13 “Shondi gwenga Kolazini! Shondi gwenga Betisayida! Handa mauzauza galawiriti kwa mwenga, megalawiri Tiru na Sidoni, wantu wakuwi mewavali nguwu zya maguniya shipindi shivuwa na kulivaga mulivu kuleka vidoda vyawatenda.
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 Mlungu hakawapanani azabu nkulu nentu mulishaka lya kutoza kuliku Tiru na Sidoni.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
15 Na gwenga Kafarinaumu, hagulikwisi mweni mpaka kumpindi kwa Mlungu? Hawakusulusiyi mpaka mulirindi lyalihera upeleru.” (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Yesu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, “Yakawapikanira mwenga kankumpikinira neni na yakawalema mwenga kanema neni, yakanema neni, ndo kamlema ulii yakantumiti.”
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 Wantumini malongu saba na awili wawuyiti kwa manemu walonga, “Mtuwa, ata washamshera watujimila patuwakalipira kwa litawu lyaku!”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
18 Yesu kawankula, “Numwoniti Shetani pakaguwiti gambira lupanda kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Mpikaniri! Nukupani uwezu wa kutimbanga wanjoka na vipinini na uwezu mkulu kwajili ya makakala goseri ga Shetani, kwahera shintu shakuwatenduwa.
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 Kumbiti namnemelera toziya washamshera wawajimila, ira mnemeleri toziya matawu genu wagalemba kumpindi.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.’
21 Shipindi shiraa shilii Yesu kanemeleriti kwa uwezu wa Rohu Mnanagala, kalonga, “Tati, Mtuwa gwa kumpindi na gwa paisi panu! Nonga mayagashii kwaku toziya guwalanguziya walii wahera mahala na guwafifa walii wanaluhala na wanamahala. Yina Tati, ntambu yagufiriti gumweni aga galawili.
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 “Tati gwangu kanupiti neni vintu vyoseri. Kwahera muntu yakammana Mwana ira Tati na kwahera yoseri yakammana Tati ira Mwana na yoseri yagagubutulitwi na Mwana.”
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 Shakapanu Yesu kawagalambukira wafundwa wakuwi na kuwagambira, “Mbaka waviwona vilii vyamuviwona mwenga.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Nukugambirani mwenga kuwera wambuyi wa Mlungu na wafalumi wafiriti kugawona galii gamugawoniti mwenga, kumbiti wagawona ndiri na kupikinira ntambu yampikaniriti mwenga kumbiti wapikinira ndiri.”
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
25 Mfunda gwa Malagaliru kiziti na kufira kumjera Yesu. Su kamkosiya, “Mfunda, ntendi ashi mpati ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (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 kamwankula, “Walemba shishi Mumalagaliru Mlungu gakampananiti Musa? Kupikanira ntambu yampikaniriti mwenga kumbiti wapikanira ndiri. Gwenga gugamana hashi?”
‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
27 Muntu ulii kawankula, “Gumfiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwaku kwa moyu gwaku goseri na kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa makakala gaku goseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri na gumfiri muyagu ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
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 Yesu kamgambira, “Guwankula weri, gutendi ntambu iraayi hagupati ukomu wa mashaka goseri.”
‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
29 Kumbiti mfunda gwa Malagaliru kafiriti kuliranguziya handa kahera vidoda, su kamkosiyiti Yesu, “Gwapakwegera gwangu ndo gaa?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
30 Yesu kamwankula, “Kweniti na muntu yumu yakaweriti kankusuluka kulawa Yerusalemu, kaweriti kankugenda Yeriku. Pakaweriti munjira, wamvamiya wamajambazi wamkoma na kumpoka vintu vyakuwi wamleka kankugalagata nusula kahowi.
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 Shintu shashilawiti paliya, kweniti na mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu kaweriti kankupita njira ilailii, kumbiti pakamwoniti muntu yawamkomiti ulii, kapititi patali uwega wingi kagenda.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Ntambu ilailii Mlawi kapititi njira ilailii, kumbiti pakamwonit muntu yawamkomiti ulii kapititi patali, uwega wingi su kagenda.
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 Kumbiti Msamariya yakaweriti kankugenda mwanja kasokiti paliya pakaweriti muntu ulii na pakamwoniti muntu ulii, kamwonera lusungu.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Kamgendera, kampakaziya lipaki pamuhera na divayi muvironda vyakuwi na kumtawa, shakapanu kamkweniziya mupunda gwakuwi, kagenda nayu mpaka mnumba ya kugonja wahenga kamlwaziya.
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 Shirawu yakuwi kalaviya mpiya mbili kumpanani kananumba ya kufikira wahenga na kamgambira, ‘Gumloleli weri muntu ayu na pampuya hanukulipi shoseri shagutumiyiti kwa muntu ayu.’”
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 Yesu kamaliliti kulonga kwa kukosiya, “Ntambu yamlihola, pakati pa wantu watatu awa, ndo gaa kaweri kapakwegera gwa muntu yakakomitwi na majambazi?”
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 Mfunda gwa Malagaliru kamwankula, “Uliya yakamwoniriti lusungu.” Yesu kamgambira, “Gugendi gwakatendi ntambu iraayi.”
‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
38 Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi pawaweriti mumwanja, wingira mushijiji shimu waliwona na mdala yumu yawamshema Marita kamshemera ukaya kwakuwi.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Marita kaweriti na muhasha gwakuwi yawamshema Mariya, yakalivagiti pakwegera pamagulu ga Yesu pakapikanira mafundu gakuwi.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Marita kaweriti kankunyoganyoga na vimonga, su kamgenderiti Yesu na kumgambira, “Mtuwa, iwera hashi gumleka muhasha gwangu kandekeri neni nyoginyogi gweka yangu? Gumgambiri kizi, kantangi!”
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 Mtuwa kamwankula, “Marita, Marita! Gwankunyoganyoga na kuligaziya na vintu vivuwa,
‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 kumbiti shintu shimu hera shifiruwa. Mariya kasyangula shintu shiherepa nentu na kwahera muntu hakampoki.”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.’
