Luka 17
1 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Vintu vyavimtenda muntu katendi vidoda mpaka vilawili, kumbiti shondi kwa ulii yakavijega!
Then Jesus said to his disciples, It is impossible to exclude snares entirely; but, alas, for him who ensnares!
2 Ayiweri mbaka kwa muntu yakavijega vikomu kumtawa musingu libuwi likulu lya kusagila na kumwasira mubahali, kuliku kumkalaziya yumu gwa wadidini awa watendi vidoda.
It would be more eligible for him to have an upper millstone fastened to his neck, and to be cast into the sea, than to ensnare one of these little ones.
3 Muliloleli weri ntambu yamtenda! “Handa mlongu gwaku pakatenda vidoda, gumkalipiri na pakaleka gumlekizii.
Take heed yourselves: if your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he reforms, forgive him;
4 Handa pakakukoseya mala saba kwa lishaka limu, na kila shipindi pakakuwuyira na kutakula, ‘Vyantenditi gunekiziyi,’ su gufiruwa gumlekizii.”
and if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day return, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.
5 Wantumintumi wamgambiriti Mtuwa, “Gutongeleri njimiru.”
Then the Apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 Mtuwa kawankula, “Handa njimiru yenu payiwera nkulu gambira mbeyu ya ndidini nentu, hamuwezi kugugambira mtera gwa mkuyu, ‘Gutupuki gukaliyoshikeri mubahali!’ Ndo meguwajimili.
He answered, If you had faith, though it were but as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine, Be extirpated, and planted in the sea, and it would obey you.
7 “Yumu pakati penu pakawera na ntumintumi yakalima lirambu ama kankulolera wakondolu. Pakawuya kulawa kulirambu, hakamgambiri ntumintumi ulii kamkamu, gwizi gulii shiboga?
Would any of you, who has a servant plowing or feeding cattle, say to him on his return from the field, Come, immediately, and place yourself at table;
8 Ndala! Hakamgambiri, ‘Gunyawili huti shiboga, shakapanu guvali na guweri kala kuntendera mpaka mmalili kuliya na kulanda, shakapanu gwenga hagulii.’
and not rather, Make ready my supper; gird yourself and serve me, until I have eat and drunk; afterward you may eat and drink?
9 Hashi, hagulongi mayagashii kwa ntumintumi toziya katenda vyakamgambiriti?
Is he obliged to that servant for obeying his orders? I suppose not.
10 Ntambu iraa ayi kwa mwenga, pamtenda kala vyoseri vyawawagambiriti mtendi, mlongi, ‘Twenga twawantumintumi hera weni twahera mota, tutenda hera lihengu lyetu.’”
In like manner say you, when you have done all that is commanded of you, We, your servants, have conferred no favor; we have done only what we were bound to do.
11 Yesu pakaweriti mumwanja kugenda Yerusalemu, kapitiliti mumipaka mwa Samariya na Galilaya.
Now, in traveling to Jerusalem, he pass through the confines of Samaria and Galilee;
12 Pakaweriti kankwingira pashijiji, kaliwoniti na wantu lilongu limu yawaweriti na ungumbula. Wagolokiti kwa kutali
and being about to enter a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood at a distance,
13 na wabotanga pawalonga, “Yesu! Mtuwa! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
and cried out, Jesus, Master, take pity upon us.
14 Yesu kawawoniti na kawagambira, “Mgendi mwakaliwonisiyi kwa mkulu gwa ludewa.” Pawaweriti munjira wankugenda su wapungikiti.
When he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Yumu pakati pawu pakawoniti handa kapona, kawuyiti pakamkwisa Mlungu kwa liziwu likulu.
And one of them, perceiving that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God aloud.
16 Kasuntama makukama pa magulu ga Yesu nakulonga mayagashii kwa Yesu. Muntu ulii kaweriti Msamariya.
Then throwing himself prostrate at the feet of Jesus, he returned him thanks. Now this man was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu lilongu yawapungitwi, wakoshi walii wamonga tisa?
Jesus said, Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18 Iwera ashi muhenga ayu gweka yakuwi ndo kiza kumkwisa Mlungu?”
Have none returned glory to God except this alien?
19 Na Yesu kamgambira, “Gugoloki na gugendi, njimiru yaku ikuponiziya.”
And he said to him, Arise, go your way; your faith has cured you.
20 Mafalisayu wamu wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndi?” Yomberi kawankula, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndiri ntambu ya kuwoneka.
Being questioned by the Pharisees, when the Reign of God should commence, he answered, The Reign of God is not ushered in with parade;
21 Kwahera muntu hakawezi kutakula, ‘Guloli’ wapalaa! Ama ‘Wa palii!’ Toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu wamngati mwenu.”
nor shall people say, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! for behold, the Reign of God is within you.
22 Shakapanu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Shipindi hakizi pamfira kulilola lishaka limu mumashaka ga Mwana gwa Muntu, kumbiti hapeni muliwoni.
Then he said to his disciples, The time will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see it.
23 Wantu woseri hawakugambirani, ‘Mloli, ka palii!’ Ama, ‘Mloli ka panu!’ Kumbiti mwenga namlawa pota namuwafata,
But when they say to you, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! go not out to follow them.
24 toziya Mwana gwa Adamu mumashaka gakuwi, hakaweri gambira lumeta lwa lupanda ntambu yalulangala kulyera kwanjira uwega umu mpaka uwega umonga.
For as the lightning flashes in an instant from one extremity of the sky to the other, so will the appearance of the Son of Man be, in his day.
25 Kumbiti kwanja kafiruwa katabiki muvitwatira vivuwa na kulemwa na wantu wa shiyiwuku ashi.
But first he must suffer much, and be rejected of this generation.
26 Ntambu yayiweriti mumashaka ga Nuhu, ndo hayiweri mumashaka ga Mwana gwa Muntu.
And, as it happened in Noah's days, it will also happen in the days of the Son of Man.
27 Wantu wendereyiti kuliya na kulanda, na wapalu hawayugi na wadala kuyugwa mpaka shipindi shilii Nuhu pakayingiliti musafina. Mafuliku galawiti na kuwalaga woseri.
They eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, when the deluge came, and destroyed them all.
28 Hayiweri gambira shipindi sha Lutu. Wantu wendereyiti kuliya na kulanda, kuhemera na kuuza, kuyala na kunyawa.
In like manner as it was in the days of Lot, they eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 Lishaka lilii Lutu pakawukiti Sodoma, motu na mabuhi ga motu gatowiti gambira mvula kulawa kumpindi na kuwalaga woseri.
but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, which destroyed them all;
30 Ntambu ayi hayiweri mulijuwa lilii Mwana gwa Muntu pakawoneka.”
so it will be on the day when the Son of Man shall appear.
31 “Lijuwa lilii muntu yakawera pampindi pashitwiku pa numba yakuwi nakasuluka pasi kutola ulunda wakuwi, Ntambu iraa ayi muntu yoseri pakawera kuisi na kawuya ukaya.
On that day, let not him who shall be on the house-top, having his furniture in the house, come down to take it away. Let not him who shall be in the field, return home.
32 Mmuholi mdala gwa Lutu!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Yoseri yakafira kugaponiziya makaliru gakuwi, hakagamiziyi na yoseri yakagamiziya makaliru gakuwi hakagalopoziyi.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.
34 Nukugambirani, pashiru palii wantu wawili hawaweri wankugonja mushitanda shimuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.
I tell you, there will be two men, that night, in one bed; one will be seized, and the other will be left.
35 Wadala wawili hawaweri wankusaga usaka pamuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.”
Two women will be grinding together; one will be seized, and the other will be left.
36 Wantu wawili hawaweri wankutenda lihengu mulirambu, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki
37 wantumini wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Koshi Mtuwa?” Yesu kawankula, “Papawera na lintumbi, kunguru ndo hawaliwoni pamuwera.”
Then they asked him, Where, Master? He answered, Where the body is, the eagles will be assembled.
