Luka 17

1 Jesu chati kuva lutwana bakwe, “kwina kusakusimwa mukuve ni zintu zete ziwole ku tuletala ku tenda chivi, kono kwina vumai koozo muntu kwete ni zize!

And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!

2 Ni kuvavi ni vutuka kwali haiva ivwe ikando nili vikwa kuzimbuluka insingo yakwe mi na va sohelwa mwi wate, kuhita kuti a letele zumwi kwava va nini kuti sanzi a sihwa inkulo.

It would be [more] profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.

3 Mulitokomele muvene. haiva mukwako va chita chivi, mu kalimere, mi cha linyansa, mu wondere.

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.

4 Hachita chivi kwako kusikahe yanza ni tovele mwizuva, ni yanza ni tovele na vola kwako, nati, 'na linyansa,' u swanela ku mu kumu wondera!”

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

5 Vaapositola va vati kwa Simwine, yekeze intumelo yetu.

And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.

6 Simwine chati, kamba muvena intumelo uvu lutanga lwa masitete, ni mu vawambi izi kwi samu lye feiga, U nyukuke, mi ukavwalwe mwi wate,' mi nili vami kukuteki.

But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

7 Kono njeni kwenu, yo wina muhikana yolima kapa kilisa i mberere, yeta wambe kwali haka vola kuzwa kuluwa, 'wize kavu hweluhwelu mi zo wikale tulye'?

But which of you [is there] who, having a bondman ploughing or shepherding, when he comes in out of the field, will say, Come and lie down immediately to table?

8 Keta wambe kwali, ni vakanyeze zakulya, mi mu sumine mambanti mi munihe kutwala china mana kulya nikunwa. linu kuzwa aho njete mulye ni kunwa'?

But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Kalitumeli ku muhikana mukuti watenda ziva laitwe, utenda?

Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.

10 Ni hakuva vulyo iwe, hete chiwa wamana zonse zova laitwe, mu wamba, tu vahikana va sena intuso. Twa tenda vulyo ze zi tu telwe kuti tu tende.

Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

11 kuva kezi kuva kuti ha ya kwa Jerusalema, ava hiti vulyo mwi nyinza ya Somaria ni Galilea.

And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Ha va ke njila mu kamwi kanzi, ava katanwa vakwe vena ikumi va lwala imbingwa, va va zimene vatavule naye

And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.

13 chi va katula manzwii avo, nibati, “Jesu, Nfumwetu, tufwile insoni.

And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.

14 Ha va vona, chati ku vali, “Mu kali vona haze ku Muprista.” kuvezi kuva kuti hava yenda, chi va jolozwa.

And seeing [them] he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.

15 zumi kuvali havona kuti cha hozwa, cha vola li nzwi linyemukite na temba Ireeza.

And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

16 Cha kuvama hamatende a Jesu, nali tumela kwali, avali Musamaria.

and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 Mi che tava, Jesu chati, “Kana vena ikumi va va jolozwa? Vena Iyanza ni vone vena kuhi?

And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?

18 Ka kwina vamwi va vola kwiza kutemba Ireeza. Kunde yo zu muzwakule?”

There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.

19 Cha wamba kwali, zime, mi uyende. Intumelo yako ya kuhoza.

And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

20 Cha vuzwa Vafalisi muvuso wa Ireeza ukeza lili, Jesu cha veta mi chati, “Muvuso wa Ireeza kaukezi ni mu uli tekele.

And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 Kau woli kuwambiwa kuti, 'Lole kunu!' kapa, 'Lole kuna!', Muvone, Muvuso wa Ireeza wina mwenu.”

nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

22 Cha wamba ku valutwana, Mazuva a keza heti ni mutavele kuvona izuva lyonke ku mazuva a Mwana mutu, kono kete mu avone.

And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see [it].

23 Linu kava wambe kwenu, 'Muvone, kuna! Muvone, kunu!' Kono sanzi muyi hanze kapa kuve chilila,

And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].

24 imi mumuni kauvenya kwimwi imbali ye wulu ku twala ku yimwi imbali ye wulu, mukuve bulyo ni ku Mwana Muntu mwi zuva lyakwe.

For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.

25 Kono che ntazi uswanela ku sukuluka mu zintu zingi ni ku kanwa kolu lusika.

But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.

26 Sina mu ku vatenda halili ku ma zuva a Nuwe, mwete ni ku tendahalele mu mazuva a Mwana muntu.

And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:

27 Va valyi, va vanwi, va vasesi, ni kusesisa, kutwala Nuwe he njila mwa Areka - mi chikweza munda mukando ni kwiza kuveha vonse.

they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];

28 Sina vulyo mukuvapanga halili ku mazuva a lota, va valyi, kunwa, ku ula, ku wuza, ku vwala, ni ku zaka.

and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 Kono izuva lya zwa lota mwa Sodoma, mulilo uva soki ni silufula kwi wulu mi va ve haiwa vonse.

but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:

30 kuzwa ku mukwa uswana kuve vulyo ni mwi zuva lyete a voneke Mwana muntu.

after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

31 Mwe lyo izuva, wina he wulu lye nzovo sanzi ashetumukeli mwate ku kahinda chifumu chakwe. Mi yo wina muluwa sanzi avoli.

In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Muhupule mwihavwe wa lota.

Remember the wife of Lot.

33 Yense yo saka kuwana buhalo vwakwe mwa vu sinyehelwe. Kono yonse yo sinyehelwa vuhalo vwakwe ka vu vusilele.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.

34 Nimi wambila, mwawo masiku, mukuve ni bantu vovele hamumbeta wu mwina. Umwina ka hindwe, mi umwina ka shale.

I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

35 Ka kuve ni vakulwakazi vo vele vete va kutwa hamwina. Umwina mwa hindwe, mi umwina mwa shale.”

Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

36 Vo vele muluwa, umwina mwa hindwe, mi umwina mwa shale.

[Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]

37 Chiva muvuza, “Kuhi, Simwine? Mi chati kuvali, “Kwina muvili, njoko makuvi nao kwete aka kunganele.

And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
