Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Yesu nabhwila abheigisibhwa bhae ati,”amagambo ganu agakola abhanu nibhakola ebhibhibhi ni bhusibhusi gaje, Nawe jilimubhona omunu unu aligaletelesha!
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
Jakabhee akili kumunu oyo okubhohya olubhui lwo kushela muchimilo chae no kweswa munyanja, okukila okwikujusha oumwi wa bhatoto akole ebhibhibhi.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Mwilinde. Omwana wanyu akakukaya umugonye, akata umusasile.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
Nolo akakukaya kwiya ngendo saba kulusiku lumwi na kwiya ngendo saba naja kwawe naikati,'nata,'musasile!”
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Jintumwa jae nibhamubhwila Latabhugenyi ati, “Chongelesishe elikilisha lyeswe.”
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Latabhugenyi naikati, “Kumba mulinokwikilisha lwa imbibho ya iyaladani mwakatulile okubhwila liti linu lya likuyu, 'nukuke ujokumela munyanja, 'na lyakabhonguhye.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Nawe niga kwimwe, unu ali no mukosi unu kalima insambu amwi nalebha jinyabhalega, kamubhwila anu alasubha munsambu,'Ija bhwangu winyanje ulye ebhilyo?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Nawe amwi atakumubhwila ati, sabhula ebhilyo nilye, ibhoya umfulubhendele okukinga anu ndamalila okulya no kunywa. Nio awe ona ulalya no kunywa?
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Nio oumusima omukosi oyo kulwokubha akumisha jinu alagiliwe?
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Emwe ona nikwo mkakola jona jinu mulagiliwe mwaikati,'Eswechili bhakosi bhanu bhateile. Chikolele jinu jaliga jichiile okukola.'
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Jabhonekene ati anu aliga nagenda Yelusalemu, alabhile mulubhibhi lwa Samalia na Galilaya.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Ejile engila muchijiji chimwi, eyo abhonene na bhanu ekumi bhanu bhaliga bhalibhagenge. Nibhemelegulu alela nage.
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
Nibhabhilikila kwo bhulaka bhwaingulu nibhaikati,”Yesu, Latabhugenyi chifwilwe chigongo.”
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Ejile abhalola nabhabhwila ati,”Mugende mujokwiyolesha ku bhagabhisi”anu bhaliga bhachagenda nibhaosibhwa.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Oumwi webhwe ejile alola kutyo eulila, nasubha kwo bhulaka bhunene namukuya Nyamuanga.
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
Nefukama mumagulu ga Yesu namusima. Omwene aliga ali musamalia.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Yesu nasubhya naikati, “angu bhataosibhwa bhona ekumi? Bhalyaki bhaliya tisa?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Atalio na umwi unu abhonekana okusubha okumukusha Nyamuanga, atali omugenyi unu?”
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Namubhwila ati, “Imuka ugende elikilisha lyao lyakukisha.”
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Ejile abhusibhwa na mafalisayo obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhuja lii, Yesu nabhasubhya naikati, “Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga chitali lwe chinu chinu echibhonekana.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Amwi abhanu bhatalyaikati, Lola anu! 'Lola eliya! 'kulwokubha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli munda yemwe.”
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Yesu nabhabhwila abheigisibhwa bhae ati, “Omwanya oguja okinga gunu mulyenda okulola olusiku lumwi olwo Mwana wa Adamu, nawe mtaliiibhona.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Bhali bhabhwila ati, 'Lola, eliya! Lola anu! nawe mwasiga kugenda okulola, mtagendaga okubhalubha,
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Lwakutyo olulabhyo olulabhya nilumulika mulutumba okusoka lubhala lumwi nilukinga kulubhala olundi. Nikwo kutyo Omwana wa Adamu alibha kulusiku lwae.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Nawe okwamba kumwiile okunyasibhwa kumagambo mamfu no kulemwa no lwibhulo lunu.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Mbe lwakutyo jaliga jili mu nsiku ja Nuhu, nikwokutyo jilibha munsiku jo mwana wa Adamu.
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
Bhalyaga, nibhanywa, nibhatwala no kutwalwa okukinga kulusiku lunu Nuhu engiye mungalabha induluma niijanibhasingalisha bhona.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Nikwo kutyo jabhee kulusiku lwa Lutu, bhalyaga, nokunywa, nibhagula no kugusha, nibhalima nibhombaka.
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
Nawe olusiku lunu Lutu asokele Sodoma, nigwa ingubha yo mulilo ne chibhiliti okusoka mulwile nibhsingalisha bhona.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Nikwo kutyo ona jilibha kulusiku lwo mwana wa Adamu anu aliswelulilwa.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
Olusiku olwo, unu alibha ali ingulu ya inyumba asiga kutuka kugega ebhyae bhinu bhyaliga bhili munyumba. Nawasiga kwikilisha unu ali mwisambu okusubha munyumba.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Mwichuke muka Lutu.
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Wona wona unu kalegeja okukisha obhuanga bhwae alibhubhusha, nawe wonawona unu kabhusha obhuanga bhwae nuwe alibhubhona.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Enibhabhwila ati, ingeta eyo bhalibha bhanu bhabhili kubhulili bumwi. Oumwi aligegwako, no oundi nasigwa.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Bhalibhao bhagasi bhabhili nibhasha obhulo kulubhui amwi, oumwi nagegwako oumwi nasigalako.” Bhanu bhabhili bhalibha bhali mwisambu, oumwi aligegwako oumwi
nasigala.”
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Nibhamubhusha ati,”Alyaki Nyamuanga?”Nabhabhwila ati,”Anu guli omuzoga, nio jimukwali ejikumanyisha amwi.”
