Luka 17
1 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Vintu vyavimtenda muntu katendi vidoda mpaka vilawili, kumbiti shondi kwa ulii yakavijega!
And he said unto the disciples, 'It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come;
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 is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Muliloleli weri ntambu yamtenda! “Handa mlongu gwaku pakatenda vidoda, gumkalipiri na pakaleka gumlekizii.
'Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,
4 Handa pakakukoseya mala saba kwa lishaka limu, na kila shipindi pakakuwuyira na kutakula, ‘Vyantenditi gunekiziyi,’ su gufiruwa gumlekizii.”
and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'
5 Wantumintumi wamgambiriti Mtuwa, “Gutongeleri njimiru.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Add to us faith;'
6 Mtuwa kawankula, “Handa njimiru yenu payiwera nkulu gambira mbeyu ya ndidini nentu, hamuwezi kugugambira mtera gwa mkuyu, ‘Gutupuki gukaliyoshikeri mubahali!’ Ndo meguwajimili.
and the Lord said, 'If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 “Yumu pakati penu pakawera na ntumintumi yakalima lirambu ama kankulolera wakondolu. Pakawuya kulawa kulirambu, hakamgambiri ntumintumi ulii kamkamu, gwizi gulii shiboga?
'But, who is he of you — having a servant ploughing or feeding — who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?
8 Ndala! Hakamgambiri, ‘Gunyawili huti shiboga, shakapanu guvali na guweri kala kuntendera mpaka mmalili kuliya na kulanda, shakapanu gwenga hagulii.’
but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Hashi, hagulongi mayagashii kwa ntumintumi toziya katenda vyakamgambiriti?
Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.
10 Ntambu iraa ayi kwa mwenga, pamtenda kala vyoseri vyawawagambiriti mtendi, mlongi, ‘Twenga twawantumintumi hera weni twahera mota, tutenda hera lihengu lyetu.’”
'So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say — We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do — we have done.'
11 Yesu pakaweriti mumwanja kugenda Yerusalemu, kapitiliti mumipaka mwa Samariya na Galilaya.
And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,
12 Pakaweriti kankwingira pashijiji, kaliwoniti na wantu lilongu limu yawaweriti na ungumbula. Wagolokiti kwa kutali
and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,
13 na wabotanga pawalonga, “Yesu! Mtuwa! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
and they lifted up the voice, saying, 'Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'
14 Yesu kawawoniti na kawagambira, “Mgendi mwakaliwonisiyi kwa mkulu gwa ludewa.” Pawaweriti munjira wankugenda su wapungikiti.
and having seen [them], he said to them, 'Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,
15 Yumu pakati pawu pakawoniti handa kapona, kawuyiti pakamkwisa Mlungu kwa liziwu likulu.
and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,
16 Kasuntama makukama pa magulu ga Yesu nakulonga mayagashii kwa Yesu. Muntu ulii kaweriti Msamariya.
and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu lilongu yawapungitwi, wakoshi walii wamonga tisa?
And Jesus answering said, 'Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine — where?
18 Iwera ashi muhenga ayu gweka yakuwi ndo kiza kumkwisa Mlungu?”
There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'
19 Na Yesu kamgambira, “Gugoloki na gugendi, njimiru yaku ikuponiziya.”
and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'
20 Mafalisayu wamu wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndi?” Yomberi kawankula, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankwiza ndiri ntambu ya kuwoneka.
And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, 'The reign of God doth not come with observation;
21 Kwahera muntu hakawezi kutakula, ‘Guloli’ wapalaa! Ama ‘Wa palii!’ Toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu wamngati mwenu.”
nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, 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.
And he said unto his disciples, 'Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold [it];
23 Wantu woseri hawakugambirani, ‘Mloli, ka palii!’ Ama, ‘Mloli ka panu!’ Kumbiti mwenga namlawa pota namuwafata,
and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;
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 that is lightening out of the one [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;
25 Kumbiti kwanja kafiruwa katabiki muvitwatira vivuwa na kulemwa na wantu wa shiyiwuku ashi.
and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
26 Ntambu yayiweriti mumashaka ga Nuhu, ndo hayiweri mumashaka ga Mwana gwa Muntu.
'And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also 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 were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;
28 Hayiweri gambira shipindi sha Lutu. Wantu wendereyiti kuliya na kulanda, kuhemera na kuuza, kuyala na kunyawa.
in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
29 Lishaka lilii Lutu pakawukiti Sodoma, motu na mabuhi ga motu gatowiti gambira mvula kulawa kumpindi na kuwalaga woseri.
and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.
30 Ntambu ayi hayiweri mulijuwa lilii Mwana gwa Muntu pakawoneka.”
'According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;
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.
in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;
32 Mmuholi mdala gwa Lutu!
remember the wife of Lot.
33 Yoseri yakafira kugaponiziya makaliru gakuwi, hakagamiziyi na yoseri yakagamiziya makaliru gakuwi hakagalopoziyi.
Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.
34 Nukugambirani, pashiru palii wantu wawili hawaweri wankugonja mushitanda shimuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.
'I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;
35 Wadala wawili hawaweri wankusaga usaka pamuwera, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki.”
two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;
36 Wantu wawili hawaweri wankutenda lihengu mulirambu, yumu hawamtoli na yumonga hawamleki
two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.'
37 wantumini wamkosiyiti Yesu, “Koshi Mtuwa?” Yesu kawankula, “Papawera na lintumbi, kunguru ndo hawaliwoni pamuwera.”
And they answering say to him, 'Where, sir?' and he said to them, 'Where the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.'
