Matayo 10
1 Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile pamo ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili, ŵapele ukombole wa kugakoposya masoka, ni kwalamya ŵandu ilwele yose ni kulaga kwakulikose.
He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
2 Ni meena ga ŵele achinduna likumi ni ŵaŵili wo gali gelega: Che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo ni che Andulea mpwao, che Yakobo mwanagwao che Sebedayo ni che Yohana mpwao,
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
3 Che Filipo ni che Batolomayo, che Tomasi ni che Matayo juŵaliji jwakukumbikanya nsongo, che Yakobo mwanagwao che Alufayo ni che Tadayo,
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
4 Che Simoni jwa ku Kanani ni che Yuda Isikaliote juŵangalawiche Che Yesu.
Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaatumile ŵanyawo kumi na mbili ni kwapa ulamusi achitiji: “Nkajaula mmajumba ga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, atamuno nkajinjila mmisi ja Ŵasamalia.
Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Nambo njaule kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵasochelele mpela ngondolo syangali ni jwakuchinga.
Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Pinkwaulanga nkalalicheje yeleyi, ‘Umwenye wa kwinani uŵandichile.’
As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
8 Nkaalamye ŵakulwala, nkaasyusye ŵawile, nkaaswejesye ŵaali ni matana, nkagakoposye masoka. Mwapochele pangali malipilo, nkapeleganye pangali malipilo.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
9 Kasinjigala sahabu atamuno mbiya atamuno makobili ga shaba mu ulendo wenu.
Do not take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
10 Nkajigala nsaku wa ulendo atamuno mwinjilo waaŵili, atamuno ilatu, atamuno nkongojo. Pakuŵa jwakupanganya masengo immajile kupegwa chakulya chakwe.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
11 “Sooni pachinkajinjile mu musi wauli wose atamuno mu nsinda, nkasose mwelemo mundu juchasache kumpochela, ni nkalonjele mwelemo mpaka pachinkatyoche.
Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.
12 Pachinjinjile mu nyuumba mwakomasye nchitiji, ‘Chitendewele chiŵe kukwenu.’
As you enter into the household, greet it.
13 Nipele, ŵele ŵakutama mu nyuumba mo ampochelaga, chitendewele chenu chichitame kwa ŵanyawo. Nambo yaŵaga ngakumpochela, nipele, chitendewele chenu chichimmujile mwachinsyene.
If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Nipele, akanaga kumpochela mundu jwalijose atamuno kugapilikana maloŵe genu, pachinkopoche mu jele nyuumba jo atamuno mu wele musi wo, nkung'unde luundu mmakongolo mwenu kulosya kuti mkwajamuka.
Whoever does not receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Ngunsalila isyene, lyuŵa lya malamulo, ŵandu ŵa wele musi wo chakole magambo gamakulungwa kupunda gegala ga ku Sodoma ni ku Gomola.
Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 “Nnole, nguntuma ŵanyamwe mpela ngondolo mmasogo. Nipele nkole lunda mpela majoka, ni ŵakulitimalika mpela nguunda.
“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Mlilolechesye ni ŵandu, pakuŵa chachinjausya ŵanyamwe pankungulu ni chachimputa mbokola mmajumba gao ga kupopelela.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
18 Chachinjausya kwa achakulu ni mamwenye kwa ligongo lyangu une, mpatanje kwasalila ŵanyawo Ngani Jambone jankati une ni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 Nipele pachachinjausya ŵanyamwe pa nkungulu, nkakola lipamba lyati chimmechete chichi pane chimmechete chinauli, pichikaiche katema, chimpegwe chakuŵecheta.
But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Pakuŵa ngaŵa ŵanyamwe ni uchimmechete, nambo Mbumu jwa Atati ŵenu jwaali nkati mwenu ni juchaŵechete.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Nipele, jwankulungwa changalauche jwamnung'una aulajikwe, ni atati changalauche mwanagwe, ni ŵanache chiŵagalauche achaŵelesi ŵao ni kwaulaga.
“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 Ŵandu chanchimanje ŵanyamwe kwaligongo lya kuungulupilila une. Nambo juchapililile mpaka kumbesi, jwelejo ni juchakulupuche.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 Annagasyaga ŵandu mmusi umo, mmutuchilanje mmusi wine. Ngunsalila isyene, ngammalisya kuutuchila misi jinajose ja ku Isilaeli akanaŵe kwika Mwana jwa Mundu.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 “Jwakulijiganya ngakumpunda jwakwiganya pane kapolo ngakumpunda mmbujegwe.
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
25 Paichile pa jwakulijiganya kuŵa mpela jwakujiganya ni kapolo mpela mmbujegwe. Iŵaga ammilasile nsyene nyuumba Belesebuli, uli ana ngati chakapunde kwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jo meena gakusakala nnope.
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
26 “Nipele, kasimwajogopa ŵandu. Pakuŵa kila chindu cheunichikwe chichiŵe cheunukukwe, ni kila chachisisikwe chichimanyiche.
Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27 Chingunsalila pa chipi, nchisale palulanga, ni chinkupilikana mwipikanilo kwakunsongonela, nkachisale kwa ŵandu pangasisa.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Kasimwajogopa ŵakuchiulaga chiilu, nambo ngakukombola kujiulaga mbumu. Mmbaya mwajogope ŵakukombola kuchijonanga chiilu ni mbumu ku mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
29 Ijojolo iŵili ikusumichikwa kwa senti jimo. Namose ngapagwa hata chimo chachikuwa pangali Atati ŵenu kusaka.
“Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
30 Nambo kukwenu ŵanyamwe, atamuno umbo sya muntwe wenu nombe nasyo siŵalanjikwe syose.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Kwayele ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela mwakuipunda ijojolo.
Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32 “Nipele, jwalijose jwakunyitichisya une paujo pa ŵandu kuti jwele ali jwangune, noneji chinankunde jwelejo paujo pa Atati ŵangu ŵaali kwinani.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Nambo jwalijose juchachingana paujo pa ŵandu, noneji chinamkane paujo pa Atati ŵangu ŵaali kwinani.
But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Nkaganisya kuti ichenawo chitendewele pachilambo pano. Ngwamba! Nganiikanawo chitendewele nambo ichenawo ngondo.
“Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
35 Pakuŵa iche kukuntindanya mundu ni atatigwe, mwali ni achikulugwe, akwegwe ni nkwegwakwe.
For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Ni ŵammagongo ŵa mundu chaŵe ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.
A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
37 “Jwakunnonyela atatigwe pane achikulugwe kumbunda une, jwelejo ngakuŵajilwa kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu. Ni jwakunnonyela mwana jwannume pane mwana jwankongwe kumbunda une, jwelejo ngakuŵajilwa kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 Mundu jwangakuujigala nsalaba wakwe ni kunguya, jwelejo ngakuŵajilwa kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
He who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 Nipele, jwalijose jwakuugosa umi wakwe, chaujase, nambo jwele juchautyosye umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya kungulupilila une, chachiusimana.
He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “Jwakumpochela ŵanyamwe, akumbochela une ni jwakumbochela une, akwapochela ŵele ŵandumile une wo.
“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
41 Jwakumpochela jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ligongo atekuŵa jwakulondola, chachipochela mbote ja jwakulondola. Nombe jwakumpochela mundu jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu pakuŵa ali jwambone, chachipochela mbote ja mundu jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Ngunsalila isyene, jwalijose juchachimpa jumo jwa ŵangamanyika kwannope ŵa ngao wa meesi gamasisi, pakuŵa ali ŵakulijiganya ŵangu, isyene, jwelejo chachipochela mbote jakwe.”
Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
