Luka 17
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Ngaikomboleka kuti ikatyochela yakunleŵesya ni kukola sambi nambo ulaje uŵe kwa jwakwikanawo yakuleŵesya.
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the one 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 heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene! “Mpwenu aleŵaga, munjamuche, iŵaga chaleche sambi, munnechelesye.
Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 Atamuno anneŵelaga mala saba pa lyuŵa limo ni kuuja kukwenu mala saba achitiji, ‘Lesile sambi,’ nkusachilwa kunnechelesya.”
Even if he sins against yoʋ seven times in a day, and seven times in that day he comes back and says, ‘I repent,’ yoʋ must forgive him.”
5 Achinduna ŵaasalile Ambuje Che Yesu kuti, “Ntujonjechesye chikulupi.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our 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 faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and 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’?
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing the field or tending the sheep. As soon as he comes in from the field would you say, ‘Come and recline 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.’
Instead, would yoʋ not say to him, ‘Prepare my supper. Put on yoʋr apron and serve me while I eat and drink; after that yoʋ may eat and drink’?
9 Ana ngati ambuje chantogolele kapolo jo pakuŵa amasile kupanganya iŵalamulikwe yo?
Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was 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.’”
So you also, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what we were obligated to do.’”
11 Che Yesu paŵajaulaga ku Yelusalemu ŵajesile mumpika wa ku Samalia ni ku Galilaya.
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Paŵajinjilaga mu nsinda umo, ŵandu likumi ŵa matana ŵaichile Che Yesu ni kwima kwakutalichila.
As he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance.
13 Ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu Ambuje, ntukolele chanasa!”
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, 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 show yourselves to the priests.” As they went along, they were cleansed.
15 Jumo jwa ŵanyawo paŵaliweni kuti amasile kulamwa, ŵausile aninkwakusya Akunnungu achinyanyisyaga.
When one of them saw that he had been healed, he came back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 Ŵagwile manguku pa sajo si Che Yesu achatogolelaga. Mundu jo ŵaliji Msamalia.
He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)
17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana ngati ŵaliji ŵandu likumi ŵaŵaswejeswe? Ali kwapi tisa ŵala?
In response Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?
18 Ana ngapagwa ŵandu ŵane ŵausile kukwatogolela Akunnungu ikaŵe jwakwikape?”
Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
19 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile mundu jo kuti, “Njimuche, njaule chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
20 Katema kampepe Mafalisayo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukwika chakachi?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Umwenye wa Akunnungu ngaukwika kwakulolecheka.
At one point Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observable signs,
21 Atamuno menema ngapagwa juchakombole kusala, ‘Nnole uli akuno,’ pane ‘Uli apala.’ Pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli pasikati jenu.”
nor will people say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or, ‘Behold, there it is!’ 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.
Then he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23 Ni ŵandu chachinsalila kuti, ‘Nnole, ali ako!’ Pane, ‘Nnole, ali akuno!’ Nambo ŵanyamwe nkatyoka atamuno kwakuya.
People will say to you, ‘Behold, here he is!’ or, ‘Behold, there he is!’ Do not go off with them or run 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 just as lightning flashes from one part of the sky and shines to the other, 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.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it 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.
People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark, 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.
It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 Nambo lyuŵa liŵakopweche che Lutu Msodoma lila, mooto ni chibiliti yatulwiche kutyochela kwinani nti ula ni kwaulaga wose.
But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Ilaila peila ni ichichiŵa pa lyuŵa lya kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.”
So will it be on the day when 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.
On that day, he who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not come down to get them. Likewise, he who is in the field must not turn back.
32 Nkumbuchile iyasimene ŵankwawo che Lutu.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Mundu jwalijose jwakusaka kuukulupusya umi wakwe, chaujase. Ni mundu jwalijose juchaujase umi wakwe, chaugose.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 Ngunsalila kuti, chilo cho ŵandu ŵaŵili chagone pachindanda chimo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.
I tell you, on that night two people will be in 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 grain together; one will be taken and the other will be left.”
36 Ŵandu ŵaŵili chachiŵa mu ngunda umo, jumo chajigalikwe ni jwine chachilekwa.”
37 Ŵakulijiganya ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwapi Ambuje?” Nombe Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kwauli ntembo kweleko ni kuchakasongangane achikapungu.”
Then the disciples said to him in response, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.”
