Luka 17
1 Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “mambo yasababishayo watu watende dhambi hayana budi kutokea, Lakini ole wake mtu anayeyasababisha!
Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.
2 Ingekua ni heri kama mtu huyo angefungiwa jiwe zito la kusagia shingoni na kutubwa baharini, kuliko kumfanya mmoja wa hawa wadogo atende dhambi.
It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.
3 Jilindeni. Kama ndugu yako akikukosea mwonye, naye akitubu msamehe.
Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.
4 Kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku moja na mara saba kwa siku moja akaja kwako akisema, 'ninatubu,' msamehe!”
And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.
5 Mitume wake wakamwambia Bwana, “tuongezee imani yetu.”
And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 Bwana akasema, “kama mgekuwa na imani kama punje ya haradarii, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu, 'n'goka na ukaote baharini,' nao ungewatii.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.
7 Lakini nani miongoni mwenu, ambaye ana mtumishi anayelima shamba au anayechunga kondoo, atamwambia arudipo shambani, 'Njoo haraka na keti ule chakula?
Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?
8 Je hatamwambia, 'Niandalie chakula nile, na jifunge mkanda na unitumikie mpaka nitakapo maliza kula na kunywa. Baada ya hapo uta kula na kunywa?
And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?
9 Hata mshukuru mtumishi huyo kwasababu katimiza yale aliyoamriwa?
Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.
10 Vivyo hivyo nanyi mkiisha kufanya mliyoagizwa semeni 'Sisi tu watumishi tusiostahili. Tumefanya tu yale tuliyopaswa kufanya.'
So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.
11 Ilitokea kwamba alivyokua akisafiri kwenda Yerusalemu, alipita mpakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.
And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.
12 Alipokua akiingia kwenye kijiji kimoja, huko alikutana na watu kumi waliokuwa na ukoma. Wakasimama mbali
And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.
13 wakapaza sauti wakasema “Yesu, Bwana tuhurumie.”
And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.
14 Alipowaona akawaambia, “Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani.” nao walipokua wakienda wakatakasika.
And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.
15 Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba amepona, akarudi kwa sauti kuu akimsifu Mungu.
Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,
16 Akapiga magoti miguuni mwa Yesu akamshukuru. Yeye alikua msamaria.
And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu akajibu, akasema, “Je hawakutakasika wote kumi? Wako wapi wale wengine tisa?
And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?
18 Hakuna hata mmoja aliyeonekana kurudi ili kumtukuza Mungu, isipokuwa huyu mgeni?”
There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.
19 Akamwambia, “Inuka na uende zako imani yako imekuponya.”
And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.
20 Alipoulizwa na mafarisayo ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini, Yesu akawajibu akisema, “Ufalme wa Mungu sio kitu ambacho kinaweza kuonekana.
And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.
21 Wala watu hawatasema, 'Angalia hapa!' au, 'Angalia kule!' kwa maana ufalme wa Mungu umo ndani yenu.”
Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.
22 Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Wakati utafika ambapo mtatamani kuiona moja ya siku ya Mwana wa Adamu, lakini hamtaiona.
And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 Watawaambia, 'Angalia, kule! Angalia, hapa!' Lakini msiende kuangalia, wala kuwafuafata,
Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.
24 kama umeme wa radi umulikao katika anga kuanzia upande mmoja hadi mwingine. Hivyo hata Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa ivyo katika siku yake.
For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne of man be in his day.
25 Lakini kwanza itampasa kuteseka katika mambo mengi na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.
But first must he suffer many things, and be reprooued of this generation.
26 Kama ilivyokuwa siku za Nuhu, ndivyo itakavyokua katika siku ya Mwana wa Adam.
And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.
27 Walikula, walikunywa, wakioa na kuolewa mpaka siku ile ambayo Nuhu alipoingia katika safina na gharika ikaja na kuwaangamiza wote.
They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Ndivyo ilivyokua katika siku za Lutu, walikula, kunywa, wakinunua na kuuza, kulima na walijenga.
Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.
29 Lakini siku ile Lutu alipoondoka Sodoma, ikanyesha mvua ya moto na kiberiti kutoka mbinguni ikawaangamiza wote.
But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.
30 Hivyo ndivyo itakavyo kuwa siku ile ya Mwana wa Adamu atakapofunuliwa.
After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.
31 Siku hiyo, usimruhusu aliye kwenye dari ya nyumba ashuke kuchukue bidhaa zake ndani ya nyumba. Na usimruhusu aliyeko shambani kurudi nyumbani.
At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.
32 Mkumbuke mke wa Lutu.
Remember Lots wife.
33 Ye yote anaejaribu kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini ye yote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake atayaokoa.
Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.
34 Nakwambia, usiku huo kutakua na watu wawili katika kitanda kimoja. Mmoja atachukuliwa, na mwingine ataachwa.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.
35 Kutakua na wanawake wawili wanasaga nafaka pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.”
Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.
Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.
37 Wakamwuliza, “Wapi, Mungu?” Akawaambia, “Pale ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai hukusanyika kwa pamoja.”
And they answered, and saide to him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them, Wheresoeuer the body is, thither shall also the eagles bee gathered together.
