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!

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the one through 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 better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

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

Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, 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!”

Even if he sins against yoʋ seven times in a day, and seven times in that day he comes back and says, ‘I repent,’ yoʋ must forgive him.”

5 Vaapositola va vati kwa Simwine, yekeze intumelo yetu.

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

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.

The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey 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'?

“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing the field or tending the sheep. As soon as he comes in from the field would you say, ‘Come and recline at the 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'?

Instead, would yoʋ not say to him, ‘Prepare my supper. Put on yoʋr apron and serve me while I eat and drink; after that yoʋ may eat and drink’?

9 Kalitumeli ku muhikana mukuti watenda ziva laitwe, utenda?

Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was commanded? I think 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.

So you also, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what we were obligated to do.’”

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

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border 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

As he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance.

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

They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

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

When he saw them, he said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they went along, they were cleansed.

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

When one of them saw that he had been healed, he came back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

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

He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)

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

In response Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?

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

Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

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

Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”

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

At one point Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observable signs,

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

nor will people say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or, ‘Behold, there it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

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

Then he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

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

People will say to you, ‘Behold, here he is!’ or, ‘Behold, there he is!’ Do not go off with them or run after 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 just as lightning flashes from one part of the sky and shines to the other, so will 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 by this generation.

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

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will 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.

People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

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

It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

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

But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

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

So will it be on the day when 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.

On that day, he who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not come down to get them. Likewise, he who is in the field must not turn back.

32 Muhupule mwihavwe wa lota.

Remember Lot's wife.

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

Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

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

I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

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

Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other will be left.”

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

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

Then the disciples said to him in response, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.”
