Lukka 10
1 Lino musule azyoonse eezi, Mwami wakasala bambi basika makkumi mousanu amakumi aabili, [amwi malembe manji achiindi aamba kuti makumi usanu aabili pesi amwi ati makumi musanu ababili] mpawo wakabatuma babili babili, kunembo lyakwe kumadolopo woonse ngakalangilide kwiinda mulingawo.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead, two by two, to every town and place where he himself was about to go.
2 Wakati kulimbabo, “Butebuzi mbunji loko, pesi babelesi mbache. Aboobo amukumbile kuli Leza wabutezi kuti atumine babelesi kumuunda wakwe.
He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
3 Amwinke munzila yanu. Amulange ndamutuma mbuli mbelele akati kabawumpe.
Now go on your way. Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.
4 Tamubwezi nkomwe yamali, tamubwezi zikwama, tamubwezi nsangu, mpawo tamujuzyi bantu munzila.
Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, and no sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 Kufumbwa ng'anda njimuyonjila, amukasangune akuti, “Luumuno alube aatala ang'and eeyi!'
Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peace be upon this house!’
6 Na kakuli muntu waluumuno aawo, luumuno lwenu luyokkala aalinguwe, pesi kuti kaatakwe, luyoobola kulindinywe.
If there is a son of peace there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 Amukakkale mung'anda eeyo kamulya akunywa eezyo nzibayoomupa, nkaambo mubelesi uleelede mufolo walkwe. Tamukeendi kuzwa kulimwi ng'anda kuya kuliimbi.
Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 Kufumbwa dolopo ndimuyoonjila, bakamutambule, amukalye eezyo nzibatakamupe,
Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
9 mpawo mukasilike bachiswa aawo. Amukatedi kulmbabo, 'Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi andinywe.'
Heal the sick in that city and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 Kufumbwa dolo[o ndimuyoonjila, bakakake kumutambula, amukayinke mumigwagwa mukatedi,
But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Nikuba lusuko lwamudolopo lyenu lwajatilila kumawulu eesu tulalukunkumuna kunembo lyenu! Pesi amuzibe eechi: Bwami bwa Leza bwasika afwiifwi.'
‘Even the dust that clings to us from your town we wipe off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
12 Ndamwaambila kuti nibwayoosika buzuba bwakubetekwa kuyoba mbubo ku Sodoma kwiinda eelyo dolopo.
I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
13 Mapenzi kulinduwe, Kkolazini! Mapenzi kulinduwe, Bbetisayida! Na milimu mipati yakachitwa mulindinywe yakali yachitwa mu Taya amu Sidon, nibanga bakasanduka chiindi loko, kabakkede muzizwato zyamasaka akulinana dota.
“Woe to yoʋ, Chorazin! Woe to yoʋ, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Pesi chiyoba mbubo ku Taya a Sidon kwiinda ndinywe.
But it will be more tolerable at the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
15 Iwe, Kkapenawuma, uyeeya kuti uzosumpwidwa kujulu na? Pepe, uzoboozegwa aansi ku Hadesi. (Hadēs g86)
And yoʋ, Capernaum, who have been exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ooyo uyoomuswiilila waswiilila ndime, ayooyo uyoomukaka wakaka ndime, aboobo ooyo undikaka wakaka awakandituma.”
“He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 Aaba balimakumi musanu amakumi aabili nakaboola lkabali mulukondo, kabaamba kuti, “Mwami, abadayimona boonse bakali kutuswiilila muzina lyako.”
When the seventy returned, they were joyful and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in yoʋr name.”
18 Jesu wakasandula kati, “Ndalikweeba Satani kawa kuzwa kujulu mbuli kalabi.
He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
19 Amulange ndamupa manguzu aakulyata aatala anzoka atubanze, anguuzu zyoonse kwiinda zyasinkondonyokwe, alimwi taakwe nikuba muliili nzila chiyoomuchisa.
Behold, I am giving you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and to overcome all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all will harm you.
20 Nikuliboobo tamukondwi loko kuli zeezi azilike, pesi amupakale nkaambo mazina aanu alembwa kujulu.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Kuchiindi nchincheecho wakabotelwa loko mu Muuya Uusalala, mpawo wakati, “Ndakutembawula, Taata, Mwami wa julu anyika, nkaambo wakasisa zikntu eezi kulibasibusongo akumvwisisisya, mpawo waziyubununa kuli aabo batayisizigwe, mbuli bana baniini. Iyii, Taata, kakuliboobo chalikubotezya kubusyu bwako.”
At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in yoʋr sight.”
22 Zintu zyoonse zyapegwa kulindime kuzwa kuli Taata, alimwi taakwe uuzi Mwana kuti ngwani kunze kwa Taata, mpawo taakwe uuzi kuti Taata ngwani kunze kwa Mwana akuli wooyo Mwana ngasala kuybunwida.”
Then he turned to the disciples and said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Mpawo wakachengunukila kuli basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wabaambila chansiswa kuti, “Balilongezezegwe aabo babona nzimubona.
Then he turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
24 Ndati kulindinywe, kuli basinsimi biingi bakali aachiyandsyo chakubona nzimubona, pesi taakwe nibakazibona pe, akumvwa zintu nzimumvwa, pesi, taakwe nibakazimvwa pe.
For I tell you that many prophets and kings wished to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.”
25 Amulange umwi muyiisyi wamilawu yachi Juda, wakanyampuka kayanda kumusunka, wakati, “Muyiisyi, niinzi nchenga ndilachita kuti ndijane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a lawyer stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Kulembedwe kutyeni mumulawu? Muubala biyeni?”
Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do yoʋ read it?”
27 Naakasandula wakati, “Yanda Mwami Leza wako amoyo wako woonse, amuuya wako woonse, anguzu zyako zyoonse, akuyeeya kwako koonse, mpawo uyande simabambanwa wako mbuli mbmoliyanda omwini.”
He answered, “Yoʋ shall love the Lord yoʋr God with all yoʋr heart, with all yoʋr soul, with all yoʋr strength, and with all yoʋr mind; and yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
28 Jesu wakatgu kulinguwe, “Wasandula kabotu. Zichite eei ulapona.”
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have answered correctly; do this and yoʋ will live.”
29 Pesi muyiisyi ooyu, nakalikweezya kulilwanina wakabuzya lubo kuli Jesu wati, “Animpo simabambanwa wangu ngwani?”
But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Kalikumusandula Jesu wakati, “Umwi mwaalumi wakalikuyabuselela kazwa ku Jelusalema katozya ku Jelikko, wakaswaana babbi bakamubbida zintu zyakwe, mpawo bakamuuma bamusiya kali waamba kufwa.
Jesus replied, “A man was going down to Jericho from Jerusalem and fell among robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him as he was, half dead.
31 Muchoolwe umwi mupayizi wakalikuyabweenda anzila njiyeeyo, mpawo naakamubona, wakiimnda mbali.
Now a priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32 Alubo mu Levi alakwe, nakasika aawo wamubona, wakiinda mbali.
In the same way, a Levite, when he came to that place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 Pesi umwi mu Samaliya, wakali mulweendo lwakwe alakwe, wakasika aawo mpaakabede. Naakamubona wakamufwida luzyalo.
But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came to where the man was, and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Wakaswena aafwiifwi wamwaanga zilonda, akumutila mafuta awayini aazilonda. Wakamutansika aamunyama wakwe mpawo wamutola kung'anda yabeenzu, kuyomubamba.
He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Nibwakacha wakagwisya maseleni aabili, wapa mwani muunzi mpawo wakati, “Mubambe alimwi zyoonse nzuyoobelesya kwiinda aawa, ndaboola ndizokuliya.'
On the next day, when he was departing, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more yoʋ spend I will repay to yoʋ when I return.’
36 Ngwani akati kabaaba batatu, ngumunga mulayeeya kuti, ngosimabambanwa kuli ooyo pwakawumwa abasikubba?”
Now which of these three do yoʋ think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”
37 Muyiisyi wakati, “Ooyo wakamutondeezya luzyalo.” Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Koya ukachite mbubo ayebo.”
The lawyer said, “The one who showed him mercy.” So Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Lino nibakali kuyobweenda wakanjila mulilimwi gunzi, mpawo umwi mwanakazi uutegwa ngu Malita wakamutambula mung'anda.
As Jesus and his disciples went along, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
39 Wakali amwana wakwabo walikutegwa ngi Meli, ooyo wakakkala kumawu a Mwami akumvwa jwi lyakwe.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet and listened to what he was saying.
40 Pesi Malita wakalijisinkini loko akubakutawukila kuti abape chakulya. Wakasika kuli Jesu wati, “Mwami, tokubwene na kuti mwanakesu wandilekelezya kuti ndibeleke endike? Mwaambile asike azoondoigwasye.”
But Martha was distracted by the many preparations that had to be made. So she came up to Jesus and said, “Lord, do yoʋ not care that my sister has left me to make all the preparations alone? Tell her then to assist me.”
41 Pesi Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Malita, Malita, uli aakulikataazya azintu zyiingi,
But Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, yoʋ are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 pesi nchintu chomwe biyo chiyandikana. Meli wasala chibotu loko kwiindilila alimwi tachikwe nayoochinyanzigwa pe.”
but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
