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!

He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him 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 millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

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

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, 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!”

If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall 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 would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be 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'?

But who is there amongst you, having a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down 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'?

Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?

9 Kalitumeli ku muhikana mukuti watenda ziva laitwe, utenda?

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were 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.

Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”

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

As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders 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 into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, 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 and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.

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

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

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

He fell on his face at Jesus’ 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?

Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

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

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”

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

Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

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

Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;

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

neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom 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.

He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

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

They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow 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 as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, 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.

As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also 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, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, 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.

Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

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

but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the sky and destroyed them all.

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

It will be the same way 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 will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise 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 loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

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

I tell you, in that night there will be two people 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.”

There will be two 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.

They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
