Luka 17

1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Ngaikomboleka kuti ikatyochela yakunleŵesya ni kukola sambi nambo ulaje uŵe kwa jwakwikanawo yakuleŵesya.

And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come;

2 Ikaliji mbaya jwakwaleŵasya jo ataŵikwe lisyago pa lukosi ni kwaponya mu bahali kupunda kunsiŵilila jumo jwa achanandi ŵa.

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene! “Mpwenu aleŵaga, munjamuche, iŵaga chaleche sambi, munnechelesye.

Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him,

4 Atamuno anneŵelaga mala saba pa lyuŵa limo ni kuuja kukwenu mala saba achitiji, ‘Lesile sambi,’ nkusachilwa kunnechelesya.”

and if seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him.”

5 Achinduna ŵaasalile Ambuje Che Yesu kuti, “Ntujonjechesye chikulupi.”

And the apostles said to the LORD, “Add to us faith”;

6 Ambuje ŵajanjile, “Nkaakwete chikulupi atamuno chamwana chati mpela lusongolo lwamwana nnope mpela lwa haladali, nkakombwele kuchisalila chitela cha nkuju chi kuti, ‘Ntupuche nkalipandichisye mu bahali,’ nombecho chikajitichisye.

and the LORD said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard, you would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

7 “Nambo jwapi mwa ŵanyamwe jwakwete kapolo jwakulima pane jwakuchinga ngondolo pakuuja kutyochela kungunda, akunsalila katema kakoko peko ‘Njise kwachitema, kundye chakulya’?

But who is he of you—having a servant plowing or feeding—who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come, recline at once?

8 Ngaŵa chansalile kuti, ‘Mungulumichisye chakulya, mmeje chile kwa kundumichila mpaka pachimalisye kulya ni kung'wa nomweji ni pachinlye ni kung'wa.’

But will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having girded yourself around, minister to me, until I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink?

9 Ana ngati ambuje chantogolele kapolo jo pakuŵa amasile kupanganya iŵalamulikwe yo?

Does he have favor to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

10 Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe pachimmale kupanganya yose iŵanlamulile yo, nsaleje kuti, ‘Uwe tuli achikapolo, tupanganyisye masengo agala pe gatuŵajilwe nago.’”

So also you, when you may have done all the things directed you, say, We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do we have done.”

11 Che Yesu paŵajaulaga ku Yelusalemu ŵajesile mumpika wa ku Samalia ni ku Galilaya.

And it came to pass, in His going on to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

12 Paŵajinjilaga mu nsinda umo, ŵandu likumi ŵa matana ŵaichile Che Yesu ni kwima kwakutalichila.

and He entering into a certain village, there ten leprous men met Him, who stood far off,

13 Ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu Ambuje, ntukolele chanasa!”

and they lifted up the voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, deal kindly with us”;

14 Che Yesu paŵaweni ŵaasalile, “Njaulangane nkalilosye kwa ŵambopesi.” Nombe ŵanyawo paŵajaulaga kweleko, ŵaswejele.

and having seen [them], He said to them, “Having gone on, show yourselves to the priests”; and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

15 Jumo jwa ŵanyawo paŵaliweni kuti amasile kulamwa, ŵausile aninkwakusya Akunnungu achinyanyisyaga.

and one of them having seen that he was healed turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

16 Ŵagwile manguku pa sajo si Che Yesu achatogolelaga. Mundu jo ŵaliji Msamalia.

and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him, and he was a Samaritan.

17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana ngati ŵaliji ŵandu likumi ŵaŵaswejeswe? Ali kwapi tisa ŵala?

And Jesus answering said, “Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where?

18 Ana ngapagwa ŵandu ŵane ŵausile kukwatogolela Akunnungu ikaŵe jwakwikape?”

There were none found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner”;

19 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Njimuche, njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”

and He said to him, “Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.”

20 Katema kampepe Mafalisayo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukwika chakachi?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ngaukwika kwakulolecheka.

And having been 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 Atamuno menema ngapagwa juchakombole kusala, ‘Nnole uli akuno,’ pane ‘Uli apala.’ Pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli pasikati jenu.”

nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

22 Sooni, ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Gakwika moŵa pachinnajile kulola lyuŵa limo mwa moŵa ga Mwana jwa Mundu, nambo nganliona.

And He said to His disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not behold [it];

23 Ni ŵandu chachinsalila kuti, ‘Nnole, ali ako!’ Pane, ‘Nnole, ali akuno!’ Nambo ŵanyamwe nkatyoka atamuno kwakuya.

and they will say to you, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; you may not go away, nor follow;

24 Pakuŵa chiiŵe mpela njasi pajikumesya ni kuloleka kwiunde kose, iyoyo peyo ni ichichiŵa pa lyuŵa lya kwika kwakwe Mwana jwa Mundu.

for as the lightning is flashing out of one [part] under the sky [and] shines to the other [part] under the sky, so will the Son of Man also be in His day;

25 Nambo gakanaŵe gelego, akusachilwa asauche nnope ni kukanikwa ni ŵandu ŵa uŵelesi u.

and first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

26 Mpela iyaliji pa moŵa ga che Nuhu ni iyoyopeyo ni ichichiŵa pa moŵa ga kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.

And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man;

27 Ŵandu ŵalyaga ni kung'wa, ŵalombelaga ni kulombwa mpaka lyuŵa liŵajinjilaga che Nuhu mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa lila. Nipele jaiche ula jekulungwa nnope ni kwajonanga wose.

they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed all;

28 Iyoyopeyo ni ichiŵe mpela iyaliji pakutyochela pa moŵa ga che Lutu. Ŵandu ŵalyaga ni kung'wa, ŵasumisyaga ni kusuma, ŵapandaga mbeju ni kutaŵa majuumba.

in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

29 Nambo lyuŵa liŵakopweche che Lutu Msodoma lila, mooto ni chibiliti yatulwiche kutyochela kwinani nti ula ni kwaulaga wose.

and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed all.

30 Ilaila peila ni ichichiŵa pa lyuŵa lya kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.”

According to these things it will be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

31 Ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Lyele lyuŵa lyo, jwalijose juchaŵe paasa nyuumba kasajinjila kukujigala chipanje chakwe chachili mu nyuumba. Iyoyopeyo juchaŵe ku ngunda kasauja kukutola yailesile panyuma.

in that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, do not let him come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, do not let him turn backward;

32 Nkumbuchile iyasimene ŵankwawo che Lutu.

remember the wife of Lot.

33 Mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe, chaujase. Ni mundu jwalijose juchaujase umi wakwe, chaugose.

Whoever may seek to save his life, will lose it; and whoever may lose it, will preserve it.

34 Ngunsalila kuti, chilo cho ŵandu ŵaŵili chagone pachindanda chimo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.

I say to you, in that night there will be two [men] on one bed: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

35 Achakongwe ŵaŵili chachiŵa aninkusyaga pampepe, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.

two [women] will be grinding at the same place together: one will be taken, and the other will be left;

36 Ŵandu ŵaŵili chachiŵa mu ngunda umo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.”

[[two [men] will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left.”]]

37 Ŵakulijiganya ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwapi Ambuje?” Nombe Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwauli ntembo kweleko ni kuchakasongangane achikapungu.”

And they answering say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.”
