Luka 17
1 Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Nakuhotola mambu ga kuvakita vandu vambudila Chapanga gakotoka kuhumila, nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweikita genago gahumila.”
And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe [to him] by whom they come!
2 Ngayivii mbanga mundu mwenuyo, kukungiwa livala livaha la kuyagila musingu na kujwigiswa munyanja, kuliku kumyokisa mmonga wa vadebe ava.
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 Mujiyangalila! Ngati mlongo waku akuhokili, mywangila, akakukamula chigendelu umulekesayi.
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
4 Hati ngati akuhokili mala saba kwa ligono limonga, na kukuwuyila mala saba. Kukukamula chigendelu, umulekesayi.
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 Vamitumi vakamjovela Bambu Yesu, “Utiyonjakesa kusadika.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, Give more faith to us.
6 Ndi Bambu akayangula, “Kusadika kwinu ngakuvi kudebe ngati lumbeyu ulu lwa haladali, ngamuhotwili kuujovela mkongo wa mkuyu, ‘Jitupula na ukajimelesa munyanja.’ Na wene ngauvayidakili.”
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 “Tijova mmonga winu, ana mvanda wa lihengu kumgunda, amala kudima mambelele. Mvanda yula peiwuya kuhuma kulihengu, Wu, ijoviwa na mkulu waki, ‘Bwela kanyata utama ulyayi chakulya?’
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 Lepi! Nambu yati akumjovela, ‘Nitendelekela chakulya na kunihengela mbaka penimala kulya na kuywelela, ndi na veve pewilya na kunywelela.’
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 Wu, mkulu yula yati amsengusa mtumisi yula ndava akitili goha geamlagazili?
Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.
10 Na nyenye mewawa, mukahengayi kila chindu chemulagizwi kuhenga, mujovayi, ‘Tete vavanda tihengili lihengu litu ndu.’”
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 Yesu peavi mulugendu kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, akapitila mumbaka ya Samaliya na Galilaya.
And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Peayingili muchijiji chimonga vandu kumi vevavi na mabudi vakambwelela. Vakayima cha patali.
And as he entered into a certain village ten leprous men met him, who stood afar off.
13 Vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Yesu! Bambu! Utihengela lipyana!”
And they lifted up [their] voice saying, Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.
14 Yesu peavaweni akavajovela, “Muhamba mukajilangisa kwa vakuteta va Chapanga.” Ndi pevavi mukuhamba vakanyamba.
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 Mmonga wavi peajimanyi kuvya alamiswi, awuyili kuni akumlumbalila Chapanga kwa lwami luvaha.
And one of them, seeing that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
16 Akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu na kumsengusa. Mundu mwenuyo avi Msamaliya.
and fell on [his] face at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Nambu Yesu akakota, “Wu, vavi lepi vandu kumi vevanyambisiwi? Vangi tisa vala vavi koki?
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where [are they]?
18 Hinu kawaka vandu vangi vevawuyi kumsengusa Chapanga ndi ngayuyu myehe?”
There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.
19 Penapo akamjovela mundu mwenuyo, “Yima uhamba, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.”
And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.
20 Vafalisayu vamkoti Yesu kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela ndali. Mwene akavayangula, “Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela lepi cha kulolekana.
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 Kawaka mundu mweihotola kujova, ‘Uvi kuni, amala uvi kula!’ Muni unkosi wa Chapanga uvi pagati yinu.”
nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
22 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Galabwela magono yati mwinogela kuliwona ligono limonga mumagono gaki Mwana wa Mundu, nambu yati nakuyiwona.
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 Vandu yati vakuvajovela, ‘Lola, avi kula!’ Amala ‘Lola, avi kuni!’ Nambu nyenye mukoto kuwuka wala kuvalanda.
And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow [them].
24 Muni yati yivya ngati mbamba cheyimwetula chigafula kuhumila upandi umonga mbaka wungi, ndi yati cheivya ligono la kubwela kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
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 Nambu yikumgana hoti, kung'ahika neju na kubelelewa na vandu va chiveleku ichi.
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
26 Ngati chayavili lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi cheyibwela kuvya magono ga kuwuya kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:
27 Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugega na kugegewa mbaka Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha. Fula yivaha yatonyili na manji gakamema na kuvakoma vandu voha.
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 Mewawa ngati cheyavili magono ga Lutu. Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugula na kugulisa, kuhila mbeyu na kujenga nyumba.
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 Nambu ligono Lutu paawukili ku Sodoma, motu na chibiliti vyatonyili ngati fula kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga na kuvakoma voha.
but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]:
30 Mewawa ndi cheyivya ligono la Mwana wa Mundu peiwuya.”
after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
31 “Ligono lenilo, mundu yoyoha mweivya kuvala ya nyumba akotoka kuyingila munyumba yaki kutola vindu vyaki, mewawa na yoyoha mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele.
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 Muhololela gegamkolili mdala wa Lutu!
Remember the wife of Lot.
33 Mundu Yoyoha mweigana kuusangula wumi waki, yati auyagisa na mundu yoyoha mweakuyagisa wumi waki yati akuugombola.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.
34 Nikuvajovela kilu ya ligono lenilo, vandu vavili vevagonili pamonga palusongwani, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
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 Kangi vadala vavili yati vivya pamonga mukuyaga mbeyu, mmonga yati itolewa na yungi yati ilekewa.”
Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.
36 Vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
[Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]
37 Penapo vakamkota, “Koki Bambu?” Mwene akavayangula, “Pewivya mtuhi, ndi pevikonganekela manditi.”
And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
