Mateu 10
1 Jesu hasupa balutwana vakwe bonse vena ikumi ni vovele, mi cha vaha ziho za ku kalimela ihuho imbi, ni kuzi laela kuzwa, ni ku hoza matuku, ni mi fokolo yose.
And having called His twelve disciples to Himself, He gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every disease and every sickness.
2 Lyahanu mazina a valutwana vena ikumi ni vovele nji: We ntanzi, Sayimoni yo sumpwa Pitorosi, ni mwachakwe Andreyasi; Jakovo mwan'a Zevediya, ni mwachakwe Joani;
And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3 Filipi, ni Vartolome; Tomasi, ni Mateu mulihisi wa mitelo; Jakovo mwan'a Alufeya, ni Tadeya;
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Sayimoni yo kanana, ni Judasi Isikariyote, muwuzi wa Jesu.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered Him up.
5 Aava vena ikumi ni vo vele Jesu cha va tuma. Cha va layela kuti, “Sanzi va yendi kuzivaka za Machava, mi sanzi mwi njili mwi Tolopo ihi ya Masamariya;
These twelve Jesus sent forth, having given command to them, saying, “Do not go away to the way of the nations, and do not go into a city of the Samaritans,
6 Kono muyende kwi Ngu zi zovete ze zunvo ya Isilaele.
and be going rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Mi chi muyenda, mukutaze ni muuti, “Mubuso wa kwiwulu chiwina hafuhi.”
And going on, proclaim, saying that the kingdom of the heavens has come near;
8 Mu hoze valwele, mu vuuse vafwile, mu hooze imbingwa, mu hindike madimona. Mu vahewa bulyo, muhe vulyo.
be healing [those] ailing, raising the dead, cleansing lepers, casting out demons—freely you received, freely give.
9 Sanzi mu hindi gauda, ni silivera, kapa mashelenyi mu mikotana yenu;
Do not provide gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
10 Sanzi muhindi mikotana ya zizwato mu misipil yenu, kapa zimwi zizwato, kapa isangu, kapa inkoli, kakuti muveleki u swanelwa zilyo zakwe.
nor leather pouch for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff—for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
11 Muleneñi uhi no uhi kapa munzi u mwi njila mwateni, mu buuze yo swanela mwikale mwateni; mwi kale mwateni konji chi mwa funduka.
And into whatever city or village you may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and abide there, until you may go forth.
12 Chi mwi njila muzuvo, mu ilumelise.
And coming into the house greet it,
13 Heva inzuvo iiswanela, musiye inkozo yenu ishale mwateni; kono heva kayi swaneli, musiye inkozo yenu i voole kwenu.
and if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come on it; and if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Kwabo vasena vava mitambuli kapa kutekeleza liinzwi lyenu, ha mu nyamuka kuzwa muzuvo ya vo kapa mu Muleneñi, mu kunkumune imbundu ya ku matende yenu.
And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
15 Che niti ni ta kwenu: Mu ve ni chisemo chihitilize mwi Nkanda ya Sodoma ni Gomora mwi zuva lye nkatulo kuhita lyowo muleneñi.
truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 Mu vone, ni mi tuma sina Ngu zina mukati ka Valuwawa, muve vena maano sina nzoka mi mu ve sina va sena maano sina Nkwilimba.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, therefore be wise as the serpents, and pure as the doves.
17 Mu tokomele Vantu! Mu va mitwale havusu bwa va zekisi, mi ka va mishupe mu zivaka za malapelelo avo.
And take heed of men, for they will give you up to Sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
18 Mi ka muletwe ha vuusu bwa Mangambela ni va Simwine vakeni changu, kuti mu ve ni vupaki kuvali ni ku Machava.
and before governors and kings you will be brought for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 Chini vati chiva mi kwatisa, sanzi ni mu katazehi kuti ka mu wambe inzi, kakuti cheti ni mu wambe ka mu chihewa mwe yeyeyo inako.
And whenever they may deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you may speak, for it will be given you in that hour what you will speak;
20 Ka kuti keti niyi kuvele unwe mu wamba mi kayi kuvele Luhuho lwe Shenu lweti ni lu ku waamba mweenu.
for you are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
21 Muntu mwa kwatise mukwakwe kwifu, mi muzazi a kwatise mwan'a kwe. Vaana mubalwise vazazi va vo, mi va va letele kufwa.
And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children will rise up against parents, and will put them to death,
22 Mu va mitoye vakeñi che zina lyangu. Mi yata sike ku ma manimani, uzo muuntu mwa puluswe.
and you will be hated by all because of My Name, but he who has endured to the end, he will be saved.
23 Chi va minyandise bulyo mu Muleneñi, muyende ku mwi ku Muleneñi, Initi ni wamba kuti, ke se mu mane Mileneñi yoose ye Isilaele pili Mwana Muntu na seni kusika.
And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for truly I say to you, you may not have finished [going through] the cities of Israel until the Son of Man may come.
24 Mulutwana kahiti Muluti wa kwe, kapa mutanga kuhita Nfumwe.
A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
25 Ku swanela kuti mulutwana a swane ni muluti wa kwe, ni mutanga ni Nfumwe. Heba vasumpa mukulwana we nzuvo Beelzebule, ka kuve vule venzuvo ya kwe chi va nyasilizwa!
sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they called Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?
26 Linu sanzi mu va tiyi; kakuti kakwina chifupikitwe chi se chi shale ni chi fupikitwe mi ka kwina chipatitwe chi se chipale kwi zibwa.
You may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
27 Chi ni mi wambila mwififi, mu chi wambe mwiseli; mi chi muzuwa mu matwi yenu, mu chi wambe mpatalaza ku Vantu.
that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Sanzi mu tiyi Vantu ve haya muvili; kono ka va woli kwi haya luhuho. Insini, mu tiye ve haya zoose luhuho ni muvili mwi hele. (Geenna g1067)
And do not be afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Heva, tutiti to vele twina heteko ye peene yoke? Kanti ka kwina katiti, niheva konke, ka wila hansi Ireeza wenu na se zivi.
Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And one of them will not fall on the ground without your Father;
30 Ni heva nsuki za ku mitwi yenu zibalitwe zoose.
and of you—even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
31 Sanzi mutiyi. Mu va vu tokwa kuhita tutiti tungi.
therefore, do not be afraid, you are better than many sparrows.
32 Muntu ye se yo wamba nzina lyangu ku Vantu, name kani muwambi kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
Everyone, therefore, who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens;
33 Kono yo ni sampula ku vantu, name, kani mu sampule kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
and whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.
34 Sanzi muhupuli kuti ni valete inkozo mwi kaanda. Kena ni va leti inkozo, kono mulinga.
You may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
35 Cwale ni va kezi kwiza kufapanya muntu ni veesi, mi mwnakana ni nyiina, mi mukwenyani wa mwana kazana ni nyinazaala.
for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
36 Muntu zilazakwe, mu va ve, venzubo yakwe.
and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
37 I ye yo saka Sii kapa Nyina kuhitiliza mwani sakila, ka ni swaneli. Mi yo saka mwan'akwame kapa mwan'akazana kuhitiliza kani swaneli.
He who is cherishing father or mother above Me, is not worthy of Me, and he who is cherishing son or daughter above Me, is not worthy of Me,
38 I ye ya sa hindi chifapano cha kwe ni ku ni chilila ka ni swaneli. Yo tokomela vuhalo bwa kwe mwa vu sinyehelwe.
and whoever does not receive his cross and follow after Me, is not worthy of Me.
39 Kono yo sinyehelwa vuhalo vwa kwe vakeñi cangu, mwa vuwane.
He who found his life will lose it, and he who lost his life for My sake will find it.
40 Yo mi tambula, u tambula ime, mi yoni tambula ime u tambula yoni tumite.
He who is receiving you receives Me, and he who is receiving Me receives Him who sent Me;
41 I ye yo tambula mupolofita kakuti mupolofita ka wane mpo ya vupolofita. Mi yo tambula muntu yo shiyeme vakeñi cha kuta kuti muntu yo shiyeme ka wane mpo ya kushiyama.
he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, will receive a prophet’s reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, will receive a righteous man’s reward,
42 Ye nse yoha ku muntu munini menzi a kuñwa a tontola, chevaka lya kuwamba kuti mulutwana, ni mi wambila kuti, ka kwina mwi se na kangilwe ku wana mpo ya kwe.”
and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward.”
