< Luka 17 >

1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Ngaikomboleka kuti ikatyochela yakunleŵesya ni kukola sambi nambo ulaje uŵe kwa jwakwikanawo yakuleŵesya.
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of sins ·scandals, trap snares, entrapments· should 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 would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·.
3 Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene! “Mpwenu aleŵaga, munjamuche, iŵaga chaleche sambi, munnechelesye.
Be careful. If your brother commits sin ·miss the mark and be without share· against you, rebuke him. If he makes teshuvah ·complete repentance·, forgive him.
4 Atamuno anneŵelaga mala saba pa lyuŵa limo ni kuuja kukwenu mala saba achitiji, ‘Lesile sambi,’ nkusachilwa kunnechelesya.”
If he commits sin ·miss the mark and be without share· against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I make teshuvah ·complete repentance·,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 Achinduna ŵaasalile Ambuje Che Yesu kuti, “Ntujonjechesye chikulupi.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our trusting 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.
The Lord said, “If you had trusting faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey 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 there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’
8 Ngaŵa chansalile kuti, ‘Mungulumichisye chakulya, mmeje chile kwa kundumichila mpaka pachimalisye kulya ni kung'wa nomweji ni pachinlye ni kung'wa.’
and will not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 Ana ngati ambuje chantogolele kapolo jo pakuŵa amasile kupanganya iŵalamulikwe yo?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe pachimmale kupanganya yose iŵanlamulile yo, nsaleje kuti, ‘Uwe tuli achikapolo, tupanganyisye masengo agala pe gatuŵajilwe nago.’”
Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
11 Che Yesu paŵajaulaga ku Yelusalemu ŵajesile mumpika wa ku Samalia ni ku Galilaya.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem [City of peace], he was passing along the borders of Samaria [Watch-mountain] and Galilee [District, Circuit].
12 Paŵajinjilaga mu nsinda umo, ŵandu likumi ŵa matana ŵaichile Che Yesu ni kwima kwakutalichila.
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· met him, who stood at a distance.
13 Ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu Ambuje, ntukolele chanasa!”
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua [Salvation], Rabbi ·Teacher·, have mercy on us!”
14 Che Yesu paŵaweni ŵaasalile, “Njaulangane nkalilosye kwa ŵambopesi.” Nombe ŵanyawo paŵajaulaga kweleko, ŵaswejele.
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 Jumo jwa ŵanyawo paŵaliweni kuti amasile kulamwa, ŵausile aninkwakusya Akunnungu achinyanyisyaga.
One of them, when he saw 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.
He fell on his face at Yeshua's [Salvation]'s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain].
17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana ngati ŵaliji ŵandu likumi ŵaŵaswejeswe? Ali kwapi tisa ŵala?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Ana ngapagwa ŵandu ŵane ŵausile kukwatogolela Akunnungu ikaŵe jwakwikape?”
Were there none found who teshuvah ·completely returned· to give glory to God, except this stranger?”
19 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Njimuche, njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your trusting faith has healed you.”
20 Katema kampepe Mafalisayo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukwika chakachi?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ngaukwika kwakulolecheka.
Being asked by the Pharisees [Separated] when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom does not come with observation;
21 Atamuno menema ngapagwa juchakombole kusala, ‘Nnole uli akuno,’ pane ‘Uli apala.’ Pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli pasikati jenu.”
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22 Sooni, ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Gakwika moŵa pachinnajile kulola lyuŵa limo mwa moŵa ga Mwana jwa Mundu, nambo nganliona.
He said to the disciples, “The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 Ni ŵandu chachinsalila kuti, ‘Nnole, ali ako!’ Pane, ‘Nnole, ali akuno!’ Nambo ŵanyamwe nkatyoka atamuno kwakuya.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them,
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, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 Nambo gakanaŵe gelego, akusachilwa asauche nnope ni kukanikwa ni ŵandu ŵa uŵelesi u.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 Mpela iyaliji pa moŵa ga che Nuhu ni iyoyopeyo ni ichichiŵa pa moŵa ga kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.
As it was in the days of Noah [Rest], even so will it be also 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah [Rest] entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them 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.
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot [Veil, Covering]: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 Nambo lyuŵa liŵakopweche che Lutu Msodoma lila, mooto ni chibiliti yatulwiche kutyochela kwinani nti ula ni kwaulaga wose.
but in the day that Lot [Veil, Covering] went out from Sodom [Burning], Yahweh caused it to rain fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
30 Ilaila peila ni ichichiŵa pa lyuŵa lya kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.”
It will be the same way in the day that 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 goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32 Nkumbuchile iyasimene ŵankwawo che Lutu.
Remember Lot [Veil, Covering]’s wife!
33 Mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe, chaujase. Ni mundu jwalijose juchaujase umi wakwe, chaugose.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34 Ngunsalila kuti, chilo cho ŵandu ŵaŵili chagone pachindanda chimo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 Achakongwe ŵaŵili chachiŵa aninkusyaga pampepe, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left.
36 Ŵandu ŵaŵili chachiŵa mu ngunda umo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.”
Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.”
37 Ŵakulijiganya ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwapi Ambuje?” Nombe Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwauli ntembo kweleko ni kuchakasongangane achikapungu.”
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together.”
