Luka 17
1 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Vintu vyavimtenda muntu katendi vidoda mpaka vilawili, kumbiti shondi kwa ulii yakavijega!
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 Ayiweri mbaka kwa muntu yakavijega vikomu kumtawa musingu libuwi likulu lya kusagila na kumwasira mubahali, kuliku kumkalaziya yumu gwa wadidini awa watendi vidoda.
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 Muliloleli weri ntambu yamtenda! “Handa mlongu gwaku pakatenda vidoda, gumkalipiri na pakaleka gumlekizii.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Handa pakakukoseya mala saba kwa lishaka limu, na kila shipindi pakakuwuyira na kutakula, ‘Vyantenditi gunekiziyi,’ su gufiruwa gumlekizii.”
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 Wantumintumi wamgambiriti Mtuwa, “Gutongeleri njimiru.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 Mtuwa kawankula, “Handa njimiru yenu payiwera nkulu gambira mbeyu ya ndidini nentu, hamuwezi kugugambira mtera gwa mkuyu, ‘Gutupuki gukaliyoshikeri mubahali!’ Ndo meguwajimili.
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 “Yumu pakati penu pakawera na ntumintumi yakalima lirambu ama kankulolera wakondolu. Pakawuya kulawa kulirambu, hakamgambiri ntumintumi ulii kamkamu, gwizi gulii shiboga?
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 Ndala! Hakamgambiri, ‘Gunyawili huti shiboga, shakapanu guvali na guweri kala kuntendera mpaka mmalili kuliya na kulanda, shakapanu gwenga hagulii.’
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 Hashi, hagulongi mayagashii kwa ntumintumi toziya katenda vyakamgambiriti?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Ntambu iraa ayi kwa mwenga, pamtenda kala vyoseri vyawawagambiriti mtendi, mlongi, ‘Twenga twawantumintumi hera weni twahera mota, tutenda hera lihengu lyetu.’”
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 Yesu pakaweriti mumwanja kugenda Yerusalemu, kapitiliti mumipaka mwa Samariya na Galilaya.
And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Pakaweriti kankwingira pashijiji, kaliwoniti na wantu lilongu limu yawaweriti na ungumbula. Wagolokiti kwa kutali
And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
13 na wabotanga pawalonga, “Yesu! Mtuwa! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
14 Yesu kawawoniti na kawagambira, “Mgendi mwakaliwonisiyi kwa mkulu gwa ludewa.” Pawaweriti munjira wankugenda su wapungikiti.
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 Yumu pakati pawu pakawoniti handa kapona, kawuyiti pakamkwisa Mlungu kwa liziwu likulu.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 Kasuntama makukama pa magulu ga Yesu nakulonga mayagashii kwa Yesu. Muntu ulii kaweriti Msamariya.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu lilongu yawapungitwi, wakoshi walii wamonga tisa?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Iwera ashi muhenga ayu gweka yakuwi ndo kiza kumkwisa Mlungu?”
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 Na Yesu kamgambira, “Gugoloki na gugendi, njimiru yaku ikuponiziya.”
And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.
20 Mafalisayu wamu wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndi?” Yomberi kawankula, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndiri ntambu ya kuwoneka.
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 Kwahera muntu hakawezi kutakula, ‘Guloli’ wapalaa! Ama ‘Wa palii!’ Toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu wamngati mwenu.”
nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
22 Shakapanu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Shipindi hakizi pamfira kulilola lishaka limu mumashaka ga Mwana gwa Muntu, kumbiti hapeni muliwoni.
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 Wantu woseri hawakugambirani, ‘Mloli, ka palii!’ Ama, ‘Mloli ka panu!’ Kumbiti mwenga namlawa pota namuwafata,
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 toziya Mwana gwa Adamu mumashaka gakuwi, hakaweri gambira lumeta lwa lupanda ntambu yalulangala kulyera kwanjira uwega umu mpaka uwega umonga.
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 Kumbiti kwanja kafiruwa katabiki muvitwatira vivuwa na kulemwa na wantu wa shiyiwuku ashi.
But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
26 Ntambu yayiweriti mumashaka ga Nuhu, ndo hayiweri mumashaka ga Mwana gwa Muntu.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 Wantu wendereyiti kuliya na kulanda, na wapalu hawayugi na wadala kuyugwa mpaka shipindi shilii Nuhu pakayingiliti musafina. Mafuliku galawiti na kuwalaga woseri.
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 Hayiweri gambira shipindi sha Lutu. Wantu wendereyiti kuliya na kulanda, kuhemera na kuuza, kuyala na kunyawa.
And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 Lishaka lilii Lutu pakawukiti Sodoma, motu na mabuhi ga motu gatowiti gambira mvula kulawa kumpindi na kuwalaga woseri.
But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 Ntambu ayi hayiweri mulijuwa lilii Mwana gwa Muntu pakawoneka.”
It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
31 “Lijuwa lilii muntu yakawera pampindi pashitwiku pa numba yakuwi nakasuluka pasi kutola ulunda wakuwi, Ntambu iraa ayi muntu yoseri pakawera kuisi na kawuya ukaya.
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 Mmuholi mdala gwa Lutu!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Yoseri yakafira kugaponiziya makaliru gakuwi, hakagamiziyi na yoseri yakagamiziya makaliru gakuwi hakagalopoziyi.
Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.
34 Nukugambirani, pashiru palii wantu wawili hawaweri wankugonja mushitanda shimuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.
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 Wadala wawili hawaweri wankusaga usaka pamuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.”
Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
36 Wantu wawili hawaweri wankutenda lihengu mulirambu, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki
This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
37 wantumini wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Koshi Mtuwa?” Yesu kawankula, “Papawera na lintumbi, kunguru ndo hawaliwoni pamuwera.”
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.
