Luka 10
1 Baada ya hayo, Bwana aliwachagua wengine sabini na wawili, akawatuma wawiliwawili, wamtangulie katika kila kijiji na mahali ambapo yeye mwenyewe alitaka kwenda.
After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city, and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache. Kwa hivyo, mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.
Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
3 Sasa nendeni; fahamuni kwamba ninawatuma ninyi kama kondoo wanaokwenda kati ya mbwa mwitu.
Go: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Msichukue mfuko wa fedha, mkoba, wala viatu; msimsalimu mtu yeyote njiani.
Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 Mkiingia katika nyumba yoyote, kwanza wasalimuni hivi: Amani iwe katika nyumba hii!
And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
6 Kama akiwako mwenye kupenda amani, amani yenu itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudieni.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 Kaeni katika nyumba hiyo mkila na kunywa wanavyowapeni, maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msiende mara nyumba hii mara nyumba ile.
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 Kama mkifika mji fulani na watu wakiwakaribisha, kuleni wanavyowapeni.
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 Ponyeni wagonjwa walioko huko, waambieni watu: Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia kwenu.
And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
10 Lakini mkiingia katika mji wowote, wasipowakaribisheni, tokeni; nanyi mpitapo katika barabara zao semeni:
But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Hata mavumbi ya mji wenu yaliyoshikamana na miguu yetu tunawakung'utieni. Lakini, jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.
Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
12 Hakika nawaambieni, siku ile mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Sodoma.
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 “Ole wako Korazini! Ole wako Bethsaida! Maana, kama miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifanyika kule Tiro na Sidoni, watu wake wangalikwishavaa mavazi ya gunia kitambo, na kukaa katika majivu kuonyesha kwamba wametubu.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Hata hivyo, Siku ya Hukumu ninyi mtapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Tiro na Sidoni.
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 Na wewe Kafarnaumu, unataka kujikweza mpaka mbinguni? La; utaporomoshwa mpaka Kuzimu.” (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Halafu akasema, “Anayewasikiliza ninyi, ananisikiliza mimi; na anayekataa kuwapokea ninyi, anakataa kunipokea mimi. Yeyote anayekataa kunipokea, anakataa kumpokea yule aliyenituma.”
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
17 Baadaye, wale sabini na wawili walirudi wamejaa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata pepo wametutii tulipolitaja jina lako.”
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
18 Yeye akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani jinsi alivyokuwa anaporomoka kama umeme kutoka mbinguni.
And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Naam, nimewapeni uwezo wa kukanyaga nyoka na ng'e, na uwezo juu ya nguvu zote za yule adui; hakuna chochote kitakachowadhuru.
Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Hata hivyo, msifurahi kwa sababu pepo wamewatii, bali furahini kwa sababu majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 Saa ileile, Yesu akafurahi kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu, akasema, “Nakushukuru ee Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa kuwa umewaficha wenye hekima na elimu mambo haya, ukawafumbulia wadogo. Naam, Baba, ndivyo ilivyokupendeza.”
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 Kisha akasema, “Baba yangu ameweka yote mikononi mwangu. Hakuna amjuaye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, wala amjuaye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na yeyote yule ambaye Mwana anataka kumfunulia hayo.”
All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].
23 Halafu akawaelekea wafuasi wake akawaambia, “Heri wanaoona yale mnayoyaona ninyi!
And he turned himself to [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see.
24 Hakika, manabii na wafalme walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona ninyi wasiyaone, na kusikia yale mnayoyasikia wasiyasikie.”
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
25 Baadaye mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria alisimama akamwuliza akitaka kumtega, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini ili nipate uzima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu akamwuliza, “Imeandikwa nini katika Sheria? Unaelewaje?”
He said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 Akamjibu, “Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote na kwa akili yako yote. Na, mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe.”
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
28 Yesu akawaambia, “Vema! Fanya hivyo, nawe utaishi.”
And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 Lakini yeye akitaka kujihakikishia kuwa mwema akamwuliza Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
30 Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa anashuka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Yeriko. Alipokuwa njiani, alivamiwa na majambazi, wakamnyang'anya mali yake na kumpiga, wakamwacha amelala pale nusu mfu.
And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
31 Kumbe, kuhani mmoja akawa anapita barabara ileile, akamwona, akapita kando.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Hali kadhalika na Mlawi mmoja, alipofika mahali akamwona, akapita kando.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
33 Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa anasafiri, alifika pale yule mtu alipokuwa, naye alipomwona, alimwonea huruma.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
34 Akamwendea, akamtibu majeraha yake kwa kumtia mafuta na divai; na kuyafunga halafu akampandisha juu ya punda wake akampeleka katika nyumba moja ya wageni akamuuguza.
And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Kesho yake akatoa fedha dinari mbili akampa yule mwenye nyumba, akamwambia, Muuguze mtu huyu; na chochote utakachotumia zaidi, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.”
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Kisha Yesu akauliza, “Kati ya hao watatu, ni yupi aliyeonyesha kuwa jirani yake yule aliyevamiwa na majambazi?”
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
37 Yule mwalimu wa Sheria akamjibu, “Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.”
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Walipokuwa safarini, waliingia katika kijiji kimoja na mwanamke mmoja, aitwaye Martha, alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.
39 Martha alikuwa na dada yake aitwaye Maria; huyu aliketi karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.
And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 Lakini Martha alikuwa anashughulika na mambo mengi. Basi, akamwendea Yesu, akamwambia, “Bwana, hivi hujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nishughulike peke yangu? Mwambie basi, anisaidie.”
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 Lakini Bwana akamjibu, “Martha, Martha, unahangaika na kusumbuka kwa mambo mengi.
And Jesus answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious, and troubled about many things:
42 Kitu kimoja tu ni muhimu. Maria amechagua kitu bora zaidi ambacho hakuna mtu atakayemnyag'anya.”
But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
