Luke 17
1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!
Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “mambo yasababishayo watu watende dhambi hayana budi kutokea, Lakini ole wake mtu anayeyasababisha!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Ingekua ni heri kama mtu huyo angefungiwa jiwe zito la kusagia shingoni na kutubwa baharini, kuliko kumfanya mmoja wa hawa wadogo atende dhambi.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Jilindeni. Kama ndugu yako akikukosea mwonye, naye akitubu msamehe.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku moja na mara saba kwa siku moja akaja kwako akisema, 'ninatubu,' msamehe!”
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
Mitume wake wakamwambia Bwana, “tuongezee imani yetu.”
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Bwana akasema, “kama mgekuwa na imani kama punje ya haradarii, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu, 'n'goka na ukaote baharini,' nao ungewatii.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
Lakini nani miongoni mwenu, ambaye ana mtumishi anayelima shamba au anayechunga kondoo, atamwambia arudipo shambani, 'Njoo haraka na keti ule chakula?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Je hatamwambia, 'Niandalie chakula nile, na jifunge mkanda na unitumikie mpaka nitakapo maliza kula na kunywa. Baada ya hapo uta kula na kunywa?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
Hata mshukuru mtumishi huyo kwasababu katimiza yale aliyoamriwa?
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Vivyo hivyo nanyi mkiisha kufanya mliyoagizwa semeni 'Sisi tu watumishi tusiostahili. Tumefanya tu yale tuliyopaswa kufanya.'
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Ilitokea kwamba alivyokua akisafiri kwenda Yerusalemu, alipita mpakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
Alipokua akiingia kwenye kijiji kimoja, huko alikutana na watu kumi waliokuwa na ukoma. Wakasimama mbali
13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
wakapaza sauti wakasema “Yesu, Bwana tuhurumie.”
14 And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Alipowaona akawaambia, “Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani.” nao walipokua wakienda wakatakasika.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba amepona, akarudi kwa sauti kuu akimsifu Mungu.
16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Akapiga magoti miguuni mwa Yesu akamshukuru. Yeye alikua msamaria.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?
Yesu akajibu, akasema, “Je hawakutakasika wote kumi? Wako wapi wale wengine tisa?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
Hakuna hata mmoja aliyeonekana kurudi ili kumtukuza Mungu, isipokuwa huyu mgeni?”
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Akamwambia, “Inuka na uende zako imani yako imekuponya.”
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Alipoulizwa na mafarisayo ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini, Yesu akawajibu akisema, “Ufalme wa Mungu sio kitu ambacho kinaweza kuonekana.
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Wala watu hawatasema, 'Angalia hapa!' au, 'Angalia kule!' kwa maana ufalme wa Mungu umo ndani yenu.”
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see [it].
Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Wakati utafika ambapo mtatamani kuiona moja ya siku ya Mwana wa Adamu, lakini hamtaiona.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].
Watawaambia, 'Angalia, kule! Angalia, hapa!' Lakini msiende kuangalia, wala kuwafuafata,
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
kama umeme wa radi umulikao katika anga kuanzia upande mmoja hadi mwingine. Hivyo hata Mwana wa Adamu atakuwa ivyo katika siku yake.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
Lakini kwanza itampasa kuteseka katika mambo mengi na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Kama ilivyokuwa siku za Nuhu, ndivyo itakavyokua katika siku ya Mwana wa Adam.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Walikula, walikunywa, wakioa na kuolewa mpaka siku ile ambayo Nuhu alipoingia katika safina na gharika ikaja na kuwaangamiza wote.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Ndivyo ilivyokua katika siku za Lutu, walikula, kunywa, wakinunua na kuuza, kulima na walijenga.
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.
Lakini siku ile Lutu alipoondoka Sodoma, ikanyesha mvua ya moto na kiberiti kutoka mbinguni ikawaangamiza wote.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Hivyo ndivyo itakavyo kuwa siku ile ya Mwana wa Adamu atakapofunuliwa.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Siku hiyo, usimruhusu aliye kwenye dari ya nyumba ashuke kuchukue bidhaa zake ndani ya nyumba. Na usimruhusu aliyeko shambani kurudi nyumbani.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Mkumbuke mke wa Lutu.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Ye yote anaejaribu kuyaokoa maisha yake atayapoteza, lakini ye yote atakayeyapoteza maisha yake atayaokoa.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Nakwambia, usiku huo kutakua na watu wawili katika kitanda kimoja. Mmoja atachukuliwa, na mwingine ataachwa.
35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Kutakua na wanawake wawili wanasaga nafaka pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.”
36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Wakamwuliza, “Wapi, Mungu?” Akawaambia, “Pale ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai hukusanyika kwa pamoja.”
