< Luka 10 >
1 Bayan haka, Ubangiji ya naɗa waɗansu mutum saba’in da biyu, ya aike su biyu-biyu, su riga shi yin gaba zuwa kowane gari da kowane wuri da zai shiga.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 Ya ce musu, “Girbi na da yawa, amma ma’aikata kaɗan ne. Saboda haka, ku roƙi Ubangijin girbi ya aikar da ma’aikata zuwa gonarsa.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Ku tafi! Ina aikan ku kamar tumaki cikin kyarketai.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Kada ku ɗauki jakar kuɗi, ko jaka, ko takalma. Kada ma ku gai da kowa a kan hanya.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 “Sa’ad da kuka shiga wani gida, ku fara da cewa, ‘Salama a gare ku mutanen gida.’
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 In akwai mutum mai salama a gidan, salamarku za tă kasance tare da shi, in kuwa babu, salamarku za tă koma muku.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 Ku zauna a wannan gidan, kuna ci kuna shan duk abin da suka ba ku, gama ma’aikaci ya cancanci albashinsa. Kada ku yi yawan sāke masauƙi, daga gida zuwa gida.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 “Sa’ad da kuka shiga garin, kuma aka karɓe ku, ku ci ko mene ne da aka ajiye a gabanku.
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Ku warkar da marasa lafiya da suke wurin. Ku kuma faɗa musu cewa, ‘Mulkin Allah yana kusa da ku.’
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Amma sa’ad da kuka shiga garin, kuma ba a karɓe ku ba, ku bi titi-titi ku ce,
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 ‘Ko ƙurar garinku da kuke manne a ƙafafunmu, mun karkaɗe muku. Duk da haka, ku tabbatar da wannan, “Mulkin Allah yana kusa.”’
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Ina dai faɗa muku, a ranan nan, za a fi jin tausayin Sodom fiye da wannan garin.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 “‘Kaitonki, Korazin! Kaitonki, Betsaida!’ Ai, da a ce a Taya da Sidon ne aka yi ayyukan banmamaki da aka yi a cikinku, da tuni sun tuba, suna zama cikin rigar makoki da toka.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 A ranar shari’a, za a fi jin tausayin Taya da Sidon fiye da ku.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 Ke kuma Kafarnahum, kina tsammani za ki sami ɗaukaka ne? A’a, za a hallaka ki. (Hadēs )
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs )
16 “Wanda ya saurare ku, ni yake saurara. Wanda ya ƙi ku, ni yake ƙi. Amma wanda ya ƙi ni kuwa, ya ƙi wanda ya aiko ni ne.”
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Mutum saba’in da biyun nan suka dawo da murna, suka ce, “Ubangiji, har mun sha ƙarfin aljanu ma a cikin sunanka.”
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Na ga Shaiɗan ya fāɗi daga sama kamar walƙiya.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Na ba ku iko da za ku tattaka macizai, da kunamai, ku kuma shawo kan dukan ikon abokin gāba, kuma ba wani lahani da zai same ku.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Duk da haka, kada ku yi farin ciki da cewa, kun sha ƙarfin ruhohi, amma ku yi farin ciki, domin an rubuta sunayenku a sama.”
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 A wannan lokaci, Yesu, cike da murna ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya ce, “Na yabe ka, ya Uba, Ubangijin sama da ƙasa, domin ka ɓoye waɗannan abubuwa ga masu hikima, da masu ilimi, ka kuma bayyana su ga ƙananan yara. I, ya Uba, gama wannan shi ne nufinka mai kyau.
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 “Ubana ya danƙa mini dukan kome. Ba wanda ya san Ɗan sai Uban, kuma ba wanda ya san Uban, sai Ɗan, da kuma waɗanda Ɗan ya zaɓa ya bayyana musu shi.”
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Sai ya juya wajen almajiransa, ya ce musu a ɓoye, “Albarka ga idanun da suka ga abin da kuke gani.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Ina faɗa muku, annabawa da sarakuna da yawa sun so su ga abin nan da kuke gani, amma ba su gani ba. Sun so su ji abin da kuke ji, amma ba su ji ba.”
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Wata rana, sai wani masanin dokoki ya miƙe tsaye don yă gwada Yesu. Ya tambaya ya ce, “Malam, me zan yi don in gāji rai madawwami?” (aiōnios )
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios )
26 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Me aka rubuta a cikin Doka? Yaya kake karanta ta?”
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 Sai ya amsa ya ce, “‘Ka ƙaunaci Ubangiji Allahnka da dukan zuciyarka, da dukan ranka, da dukan ƙarfinka, da kuma dukan hankalinka’; kuma, ‘Ka ƙaunaci maƙwabcinka kamar kanka.’”
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 Yesu ya ce, “Ka amsa daidai. Ka yi haka, kuma za ka rayu.”
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Amma domin ya kāre kansa, sai ya tambayi Yesu ya ce, “Shin, wane ne maƙwabcina?”
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Wani mutum ya tashi daga Urushalima za shi Yeriko, sai ya fāɗi a hannun mafasa, wato,’yan fashi. Suka ƙwace tufafinsa, suka yi masa dūka, suka bar shi nan bakin rai da mutuwa.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Ya zamana wani firist ya bi kan wannan hanya. Da ya ga mutumin, sai ya bi gefe ya wuce abinsa.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Haka ma wani daga kabilar Lawi, mai hidima cikin haikali, da ya zo wurin, ya gan shi, sai shi ma ya bi gefe ɗaya, ya wuce abinsa.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Amma wani mutumin Samariya da yake kan tafiya, da ya kai inda mutumin yake, ya gan shi, sai ya ji tausayinsa.
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Ya je wurinsa, ya daddaure masa raunukansa, sa’an nan ya zuba mai, da ruwan inabi. Ya ɗauki mutumin ya sa a kan jakinsa, ya kai shi wani masauƙi, ya yi jinyarsa.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Kashegari, sai ya ɗauki dinari biyu, ya ba wa mai masauƙin ya ce, ‘Ka lura da shi, bayan na dawo, zan biya ka duk abin da ka ƙara kashewa a kansa.’
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 “A ganinka, a cikin waɗannan mutane uku, wane ne maƙwabcin mutumin da ya fāɗi a hannun mafasa?”
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Masanin dokoki ya amsa ya ce, “Wanda ya nuna masa jinƙai.” Yesu ya ce masa, “Je ka, ka yi haka nan.”
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Yayinda Yesu da almajiransa suna cikin tafiya, sai ya kai wani ƙauye inda wata mace mai suna Marta ta marabce shi a gidanta.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Tana da’yar’uwa mai suna Maryamu, wadda ta zauna a gaban Ubangiji tana jin maganarsa.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Marta kuwa, aikin hidima da ya kamata a yi, ya ɗauke mata hankali, sai ta zo wurin Yesu, ta ce, “Ubangiji, ba ka damu da yadda’yar’uwata ta bar mini aiki ni kaɗai ba? Gaya mata ta taimake ni!”
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Amma Ubangiji ya amsa ya ce, “Marta, Marta, hankalinki ya tashi, kuma kina damuwa a kan abubuwa da yawa.
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Amma abu ɗaya tak ake bukata, Maryamu ta zaɓi abin da ya fi kyau, kuma ba za a raba ta da shi ba.”
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
