Mateyu 10
1 Yesu anayitana ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri ndipo anawapatsa ulamuliro otulutsa mizimu yoyipa ndi kuchiritsa nthenda iliyonse ndi zofowoka zilizonse.
Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.
2 Mayina a atumwi khumi ndi awiriwo ndi awa: woyamba, Simoni (wotchedwa Petro) ndi mʼbale wake Andreya; Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo ndi mʼbale wake Yohane,
Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;
3 Filipo ndi Bartumeyu, Tomasi ndi Mateyu wolandira msonkho, Yakobo mwana wa Alufeyo ndi Tadeyo;
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simoni Mzerote ndi Yudasi Isikarioti, amene anamupereka Iye.
Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
5 Yesu anatuma khumi ndi awiriwo ndi kuwalamula kuti, “Musapite kwa anthu a mitundu ina kapena kulowa mʼmudzi uliwonse wa Asamariya.
These twelve Jesus sent on a mission, after giving them their instructions: "Go not," He said, "among the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town;
6 Koma pitani kwa nkhosa zotayika za banja la Israeli.
but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.
7 Pamene mukupita, muzikalalikira uthenga uwu: ‘Ufumu wakumwamba wayandikira.’
And as you go, preach and say, 'The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'
8 Chiritsani odwala, ukitsani akufa, chiritsani akhate, tulutsani ziwanda. Munalandira kwaulere, perekani kwaulere.
Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.
9 “Musatenge ndalama zagolide kapena zasiliva kapena zakopala mʼzikwama mwanu;
"Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;
10 musatenge thumba la paulendo, kapena malaya awiri kapena nsapato kapena ndodo; pakuti wantchito ayenera kulandira chakudya chake.
no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.
11 Mukalowa mu mzinda ndi mʼmudzi uliwonse, funafunani munthu woyenera ndipo mukhale mʼnyumba mwake kufikira mutachoka.
"Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.
12 Pamene mulowa mʼnyumba mupereke moni.
When you enter the house, salute it;
13 Mtendere wanu ukhale pa a mʼnyumbayo ngati ndi oyenera. Koma ngati siwoyenera, mtendere wanu ubwerere kwa inu.
and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.
14 Ngati wina aliyense sakakulandirani kapena sakamvera mawu anu, musase fumbi la kumapazi anu pamene mutuluka mʼnyumbayo kapena mu mzindawo.
And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.
15 Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti pa tsiku lachiweruziro, mlandu wa Sodomu ndi Gomora udzachepa kusiyana ndi wa mzindawo.
I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.
16 “Taonani ndikukutumizani inu monga nkhosa pakati pa mimbulu. Chifukwa chake khalani ochenjera ngati njoka ndi woona mtima ngati nkhunda.
"Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.
17 Chenjerani ndi anthu pakuti adzakuperekani ku mabwalo amilandu nadzakukwapulani mʼmasunagoge mwawo.
But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;
18 Chifukwa cha Ine, mudzaperekedwa kwa olamulira ndi kwa mafumu kuti mukhale mboni kwa iwo ndi kwa a mitundu ina.
and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Koma pamene akumangani, inu musadandaule kuti mukanena bwanji kapena mukanena chiyani. Mudzapatsidwa pa nthawi imeneyo zoti munene,
But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;
20 pakuti sindinu mudzanena, koma Mzimu Woyera wa Atate anu, adzayankhula mwa inu.
for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 “Mʼbale adzapereka mʼbale kuti aphedwe ndi abambo mwana wawo: ndipo ana adzawukira makolo awo ndi kuwapereka kuti aphedwe.
Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.
22 Anthu onse adzada inu chifukwa cha Ine, koma iye amene apirira mpaka kumapeto, adzapulumuka.
And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--he will be saved.
23 Pamene akuzunzani pamalo ena thawirani kwina. Pakuti ndikuwuzani zoonadi kuti simudzamaliza mizinda yonse ya Israeli Mwana wa Munthu asanabwere.
Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “Wophunzira saposa mphunzitsi wake ndipo wantchito saposa bwana wake.
"The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.
25 Nʼkoyenera kuti wophunzira akhale ngati mphunzitsi wake, ndi wantchito akhale ngati bwana wake. Ngati mwini banja atchedwa Belezebabu, koposa kotani a mʼnyumba mwake!
Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?
26 “Chifukwa chake musaope iwo. Pakuti palibe chinthu chobisika chimene sichidzavundukulidwa, ndi chobisika chimene sichidzadziwika.
Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.
27 Chimene ndikuwuzani Ine mu mdima, muchiyankhule poyera; chimene akunongʼonezani mʼkhutu, muchilalikire muli pa denga.
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
28 Musamaope amene amapha thupi koma sangathe kuchotsa moyo. Koma muziopa Iye amene akhoza kupha mzimu ndi kuwononga thupi mu gehena. (Geenna g1067)
"And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Kodi suja amagulitsa mbalame ziwiri ndi ndalama imodzi? Koma palibe imodzi ya izo imene idzagwa pansi wopanda chifuniro cha Atate anu.
Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
30 Ndipo ngakhale tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanu linawerengedwa kale.
But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
31 Potero musaope; inu ndinu a mtengo woposa mbalame zambiri.
Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
32 “Aliyense amene avomereza Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzavomereza pamaso pa Atate anga akumwamba.
"Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.
33 Koma iye amene andikana Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzamukana pamaso pa Atate anga akumwamba.
But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.
34 “Musaganize kuti Ine ndabweretsa mtendere pa dziko lapansi. Sindinabwere kudzapereka mtendere koma lupanga.
"Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 Pakuti Ine ndabwera kudzalekanitsa “‘Munthu ndi abambo ake, mwana wamkazi ndi amayi ake, mtengwa kulekanitsidwa ndi apongozi ake,
For I came to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 adani a munthu adzakhala a mʼbanja mwake momwe.’
and a man's own family will be his foes.
37 “Aliyense amene akonda abambo kapena amayi ake koposa Ine sayenera kukhala wanga; aliyense amene akonda mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi koposa Ine sayenera kukhala wanga.
Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38 Aliyense amene satenga mtanda wake ndi kunditsata Ine sayenera kukhala wanga.
and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.
39 Aliyense amene asunga moyo wake adzawutaya koma aliyense amene ataya moyo chifukwa cha Ine adzawupeza.
To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.
40 “Iye amene alandira inu alandira Ine, ndipo amene alandira Ine alandiranso amene anandituma Ine.
"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.
41 Aliyense amene alandira mneneri chifukwa chakuti ndi mneneri alandira mphotho ya mneneri, ndipo aliyense amene alandira munthu wolungama chifukwa chakuti ndi munthu wolungama, adzalandira mphotho ya wolungama.
Every one who receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and every one who receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 Ngati aliyense apereka madzi ozizira a mʼchikho kwa mmodzi wa angʼonoangʼono awa chifukwa cha kuti ndi ophunzira anga, ndikuwuzani zoona, ndithudi sadzataya mphotho yake.”
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward."
