Luke 10
1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.
Baada ya mambo hayo, Bwana akachagua sabini wengine, na kuwatuma wawili wawili wamtangulie katika kila mji na eneo alilotarajia kwenda.
2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed [is] great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.
Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanyakazi ni wachache. Hivyo basi muombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume haraka wafanyakazi katika mavuno yake.
3 Go: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
Enendeni katika miji. Angalieni, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu.
4 Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.
Msibebe mfuko wa pesa, wala mikoba ya wasafiri, wala viatu, wala msimsalimie yeyote njiani.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.
Katika nyumba yeyote mtakayo ingia, kwanza semeni, 'Amani iwe katika nyumba hii.'
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.
kama mtu wa amani yupo pale, amani yenu itabaki juu yake, lakini kama sivyo, itarudi kwenu.
7 And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
Bakini katika nyumba hiyo, kuleni na mnywe watakachokitoa, kwa maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msihame kutoka nyumba hii kwenda nyingine.
8 And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
Mji wowote muuingiao, na wakawapokea, kuleni chochote kitakachowekwa mbele yenu,
9 and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
na ponyeni wagonjwa waliomo humo. Semeni kwao, 'Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yanu'
10 But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
Lakini katika mji wowote mtakaoingia, na wasiwapokee, nendeni nje katika barabara na semeni,
11 Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.
'Hata vumbi katika mji wenu lililonata miguu mwetu tunalikung'uta dhidi yenu! Lakini tambueni hili, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.'
12 I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
Ninawambieni kwamba siku ya hukumu itakuwa ni usitahamilivu zaidi kwa Sodoma kuliko mji huo.
13 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Ole kwako Korazini, Ole kwako Bethsaida! Kama kazi kuu zilizo fanyika ndani yako ingalifanyika Tiro na Sidoni, Wangelitubu zamani sana, wakikaa ndani ya nguo za gunia na majivu.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
Lakini itakuwa usitahamilivu zaidi siku ya hukumu kwa Tiro na Sidoni zaidi yenu.
15 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. (Hadēs g86)
Wewe Kapernaumu, Unafikiri utainuliwa mpaka Mbinguni? Hapana, utashushwa chini mpaka kuzimu (Hadēs g86)
16 He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
Atakaye wasikiliza ninyi anisikiliza mimi, na yeyote atakaye wakataa anikataa mimi, na yeyote anikataaye mimi anmtakaa aliyenituma”
17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
Wale sabini walirudi kwa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata mapepo wanatutii katika jina lako.”
18 And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.
Yesu akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani akianguka kutoka mbinguni kama radi.
19 Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.

20 Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.
Hata hivyo msifurahi tu katika hili, kwamba roho zinawatii, lakini furahini zaidi kwamba majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
21 In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Katika mda uleule alifurahi sana katika Roho Mtakatifu, na kusema, “Ninakusifu wewe, Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa sababu umeyaficha mambo haya kutoka kwa wenye hekima na akili, na kuyafunua kwa wasio fundishwa, kama watoto wadogo. Ndio, Baba, kwa kuwa ilipendeza katika machoni pako.”
22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal [him].

23 And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

24 For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear [them].
Ninawambia ninyi, kwamba manabii wengi na wafalme walitamani kuona mambo myaonayo, na hawakuyaona, na kusikia kusikia mnayoyaikia, na hawakuyasikia.”
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
Tazama, mwalimu fulani wa sheria ya Kiyahudi alisimama na kumjaribu, akisema, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini niurithi izima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Yesu akamwambia, “Kimeandikwa nini katika sheria? Unaisoma je?”
27 But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Akajibu akasema, “Utampenda Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote, na kwa akili zako zote, na jirani yako kama nafsi yako mwenyewe.”
28 And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.
Yesu akasema, “Umejibu kwa usahihi. Fanya hivi na utaishi.”
29 But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Lakini mwalimu, akitamani kujihesabia haki mwenyewe, Akamwambia Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30 And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of] robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.
Yesu akijibu akasema, “Mtu fulani alikuwa akitelemka kutoka Yerusalem kwenda Yeriko. Akaangukia kati ya wanyang'anyi, waliomnyang'anya mali yake, na kumpiga na kumuacha karibu akiwa nusu mfu.
31 And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;
Kwa bahati kuhani fulani alikuwa akishuka katika njia hiyo, alipo muona alipita upande mwingine.
32 and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side.
Vivyo hivyo Mlawi pia, alipofika mahali pale na kumuona, akapita upande mwingine.
33 But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,
Lakini Msamaria mmoja, alipokuwa akisafiri, alipita pale alipokuwa mtu huyo. alipomuona, alisukumwa kwa huruma.
34 and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.
Alimkaribia na kumfunga vidonda vyake, akimwiga mafuta na divai juu yake. Alimpandisha juu ya mnyama wake, na kumpeleka katika nyumba ya wageni na kumhudumia.
35 And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.
Siku ilyofuata alichukua dinari mbili, na akampatia mmiliki wa nyumba ya wageni na kumwambia, 'Muhudumie na chochote cha ziada utakacho tumia, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.'
36 Which [now] of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into [the hands of] the robbers?
Ni yupi kati ya hawa watatu, unafikiri, alikuwa ni jirani kwake yeye aliyeangukia kati ya wanyang'anyi?”
37 And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Mwalimu alisema, “Ni yule aliyeonesha huruma kwake.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda na ukafanye vivyo hivyo”
38 And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.
Sasa walipokuwa wakisafiri, waliingia katika kijiji fulani, na mwanamke mmoja jina lake Martha alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.
Alikuwa na dada aliyeitwa Mariamu, aliekaa miguuni pa Bwana na kusikiliza neno lake.
40 Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.
Lakini Martha alijipa shughuli nyingi za kuandaa mlo. Alikwenda kwa Yesu, na kusema, “Bwana, haujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nihudumu peke yangu? Hivyo basi mwambie anisaidie.”
41 But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
Lakini Bwana alimjibu na kumwambia, “Martha, Martha, una sumbuka juu ya mambo mengi,
42 but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.
lakini ni kitu kimoja tu cha muhimu. Mariamu amechagua kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa kutoka kwake.”
