Luke 10
1 And, after these things, the Lord appointed seventy two others, and sent them forth, two and two before his face, into every city and place whither, 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 was saying unto them—The harvest, indeed, is, great, but, the labourers, few; beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, that he would thrust forth, labourers, 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 Withdraw! Lo! I send you forth as lambs amid wolves.
Enendeni katika miji. Angalieni, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu.
4 Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;
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 the son of peace be, there, your peace, shall rest upon it; but, otherwise, at least, unto you, shall it return.
kama mtu wa amani yupo pale, amani yenu itabaki juu yake, lakini kama sivyo, itarudi kwenu.
7 And, in the self-same house, abide ye, eating and drinking such things as they have; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his hire: be not removing 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 shall enter, and they bid you welcome, be eating such things as are set before you;
Mji wowote muuingiao, na wakawapokea, kuleni chochote kitakachowekwa mbele yenu,
9 And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto them—The kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you.
na ponyeni wagonjwa waliomo humo. Semeni kwao, 'Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yanu'
10 But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:
Lakini katika mji wowote mtakaoingia, na wasiwapokee, nendeni nje katika barabara na semeni,
11 Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice—The kingdom of God hath drawn near.
'Hata vumbi katika mji wenu lililonata miguu mwetu tunalikung'uta dhidi yenu! Lakini tambueni hili, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.'
12 I tell you, for them of Sodom, in that day, more tolerable, will it be, than for that city.
Ninawambieni kwamba siku ya hukumu itakuwa ni usitahamilivu zaidi kwa Sodoma kuliko mji huo.
13 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power which have been down in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes sitting, they would have repented.
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 Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.
Lakini itakuwa usitahamilivu zaidi siku ya hukumu kwa Tiro na Sidoni zaidi yenu.
15 And, thou, Capernaum, —Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? …Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down! (Hadēs g86)
Wewe Kapernaumu, Unafikiri utainuliwa mpaka Mbinguni? Hapana, utashushwa chini mpaka kuzimu (Hadēs g86)
16 He that hearkeneth unto you, unto me, doth hearken, and, he that setteth you aside, doth set, me, aside; and, he that setteth, me, aside, doth set aside, 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 [-two] returned, with joy, saying—Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!
Wale sabini walirudi kwa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata mapepo wanatutii katika jina lako.”
18 And he said unto them—I was beholding Satan, when, like lightning, out of heaven, he fell!
Yesu akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani akianguka kutoka mbinguni kama radi.
19 Lo! I have given you the authority—to be treading upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and, nothing, unto you, shall in anywise do harm;
Tazama, nimewapa mamlaka ya kukanyaga nyoka na nge, na nguvu zote za adui, na hapana chochote kwa njia yoyote kitakachowadhuru.
20 Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing—that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing—that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!
Hata hivyo msifurahi tu katika hili, kwamba roho zinawatii, lakini furahini zaidi kwamba majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
21 In the self-same hour, exulted he in the Holy Spirit, and said—I openly give praise unto thee, Father! Lord of heaven and earth! in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes, —Yea, O Father! that, so, hath it become, a delight, before thee.
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, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father, —and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.
“Kila kitu kimekabidhiwa kwangu na Baba yangu, na hakuna afahamuye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, na hakuna afahamuye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na ye yote ambaye Mwana hutamani kujifunua kwake.”
23 And, turning unto his disciples, privately, he said—Happy, the eyes, that see what ye see!
Akawageukia wanafunzi, akasema faraghani, “Wamebarikiwa wayaonayo haya ambayo ninyi mnayaona.
24 For I tell you, Many prophets and kings, have desired to see what, ye, see, and they saw not, and to hear what ye hear, and they heard not.
Ninawambia ninyi, kwamba manabii wengi na wafalme walitamani kuona mambo myaonayo, na hawakuyaona, na kusikia kusikia mnayoyaikia, na hawakuyasikia.”
25 And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying—Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding? (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 unto him—In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?
Yesu akamwambia, “Kimeandikwa nini katika sheria? Unaisoma je?”
27 And, he, answering, said—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; 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 unto him—Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.
Yesu akasema, “Umejibu kwa usahihi. Fanya hivi na utaishi.”
29 But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus—And, who is, my, neighbour?
Lakini mwalimu, akitamani kujihesabia haki mwenyewe, Akamwambia Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30 And taking up [the question], Jesus said—A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, —who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.
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, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
Kwa bahati kuhani fulani alikuwa akishuka katika njia hiyo, alipo muona alipita upande mwingine.
32 And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
Vivyo hivyo Mlawi pia, alipofika mahali pale na kumuona, akapita upande mwingine.
33 But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down 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, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, —and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an 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, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said—Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.
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 of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?
Ni yupi kati ya hawa watatu, unafikiri, alikuwa ni jirani kwake yeye aliyeangukia kati ya wanyang'anyi?”
37 And, he, said—He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him—Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.
Mwalimu alisema, “Ni yule aliyeonesha huruma kwake.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda na ukafanye vivyo hivyo”
38 And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed 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, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.
Alikuwa na dada aliyeitwa Mariamu, aliekaa miguuni pa Bwana na kusikiliza neno lake.
40 But, Martha, was distracted about much ministering, and, coming near, said—Lord! carest thou not that, my sister, hath left me to be ministering, alone? Speak to her, then, that she 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 the Lord, answering, said to her—Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
Lakini Bwana alimjibu na kumwambia, “Martha, Martha, una sumbuka juu ya mambo mengi,
42 Of few things, is there need, or, of one; Mary, in fact, hath chosen, the good part, —one which shall not be taken away from her.
lakini ni kitu kimoja tu cha muhimu. Mariamu amechagua kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa kutoka kwake.”
