< 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 he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal 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;
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
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 the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Sayimoni yo kanana, ni Judasi Isikariyote, muwuzi wa Jesu.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
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;
Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Kono muyende kwi Ngu zi zovete ze zunvo ya Isilaele.
Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Mi chi muyenda, mukutaze ni muuti, “Mubuso wa kwiwulu chiwina hafuhi.”
And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
8 Mu hoze valwele, mu vuuse vafwile, mu hooze imbingwa, mu hindike madimona. Mu vahewa bulyo, muhe vulyo.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9 Sanzi mu hindi gauda, ni silivera, kapa mashelenyi mu mikotana yenu;
Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
10 Sanzi muhindi mikotana ya zizwato mu misipil yenu, kapa zimwi zizwato, kapa isangu, kapa inkoli, kakuti muveleki u swanelwa zilyo zakwe.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
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 enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
12 Chi mwi njila muzuvo, mu ilumelise.
And as you enter into the household, greet it.
13 Heva inzuvo iiswanela, musiye inkozo yenu ishale mwateni; kono heva kayi swaneli, musiye inkozo yenu i voole kwenu.
And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but 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 does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from 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 tell 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.
"Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
17 Mu tokomele Vantu! Mu va mitwale havusu bwa va zekisi, mi ka va mishupe mu zivaka za malapelelo avo.
But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, 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.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings 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.
But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Ka kuti keti niyi kuvele unwe mu wamba mi kayi kuvele Luhuho lwe Shenu lweti ni lu ku waamba mweenu.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks 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 the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put 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 everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end 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.
But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
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!
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house 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.
Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden 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.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in 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 who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (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 coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
30 Ni heva nsuki za ku mitwi yenu zibalitwe zoose.
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Sanzi mutiyi. Mu va vu tokwa kuhita tutiti tungi.
Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Muntu ye se yo wamba nzina lyangu ku Vantu, name kani muwambi kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Kono yo ni sampula ku vantu, name, kani mu sampule kwa Tayo wina kwiwulu.
But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Sanzi muhupuli kuti ni valete inkozo mwi kaanda. Kena ni va leti inkozo, kono mulinga.
"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send 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 odds 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 a person's foes will be those of his own 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.
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than 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 take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39 Kono yo sinyehelwa vuhalo vwa kwe vakeñi cangu, mwa vuwane.
Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 Yo mi tambula, u tambula ime, mi yoni tambula ime u tambula yoni tumite.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives 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.
The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person'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 gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
