Matayu 10
1 Yesu kawashemiti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili, kawapanana uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya wantu malweri na kila ulweri.
And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.
2 Aga ndo matawu gawu wantumintumi lilongu na wawili. Gwa kwanja ndo Simoni yawamshemiti Peteru na mlongu gwakuwi Andereya, Yakobu na mlongu gwakuwi Yohani wana wa Zebedayu,
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3 Filipu na Baritulumayu, Tomasi na Matayu yakaweriti mtola kodi, Yakobu mwana gwa Alifayu na Tadeyi,
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simoni Mkanani na Yuda Isikariyoti, ndo mweni yakamgalambukiti Yesu.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5 Yesu kawatumiti awa lilongu na wawili na kawapananiti malagaliru aga, “Namgenda kwa wantu wa isi zimonga, ama namwingira pakati pa lushi lwa Wasamariya.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.
6 Kumbiti mgendi kwa wantu wa Israeli yawagamiliti gambira kondolu.
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
7 Mgendi na mbweri, ‘Ufalumi wa kumpindi wapakwegera.’
As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Mponiziyi walweli, muwazyukisiyi yawahowiti, muwapungi woseri yawalwala ugumbula na muwawusiyi washamshera. Wawapanana hera, su mwenga mtendi pota kuluwa shibena mgongu.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9 Namtola zahabu, ama mpiya, ama magwala ga shaba mumihaku mwenu,
Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.
10 namtola muhaku gwa kuluwira munjira, ama likoti lyamonga, ama vilwatu, ama luhonga. Toziya watendalihengu wafiruwa wapati vyawafira.
Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.
11 “Pamwingira pakati pa lushi loseri ama shijiji, msakuli amu muntu yoseri yakafira kuwashemera na mlikali pamuhera nayomberi mpaka pamwuka pahala palii.
Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.
12 Pamwingira mnumba mtakuli, ‘Ponga iweri na mwenga.’
As you enter the home, greet its occupants.
13 Handa wenikaya wa numba ilii wawashemerani, su ponga ya kulamsiya kwa mwenga haikali, kumbiti wafira ndiri kuwashemera, kulamsiya kwenu kwa ponga hakukuwuyirani maweni.
If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14 Handa numba yoseri ama lushi loseri halulemi kuwashemera mwenga ama kuwapikinira mwenga, su muwuki pahala paliya na mupunti lidiku mumagulu mwenu.
And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
15 Nuwagambirani nakaka handa lishaka lya kutozwa, Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu wantu wa Sodoma na Gomora kuliku wantu wa lushi alu!”
Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16 “Mpikaniri! Neni nuwalagalira mwenga gambira kondolu kugenda pakati pa wamaminyi. Muweri na luhala gambira njoka na mwawananaga gambira ng'unda.
Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17 Mlikali weri, toziya wantu hawawawingani mwenga na hawawajegeni mushizyungu na hawawasyatangi ntomondu munumba za Mlungu.
But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18 Toziya ya neni hamjegwi palongolu pa wakolamlima na wafalumi, mpati kuwagambira Visoweru Viwagira na kuwagambira wantu wa isi zimonga.
On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Su, pawawajegani mwenga pashizyungu, namuwera na lyoga handa hamtakuli shishi ama hamlongi hashi, shipindi pashisoka, hampati sha kuyowera.
But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.
20 Toziya visoweru vyamgenda kuyowera vya mwenga ndiri, kumbiti havizi kulawa kwa Rohu gwa Tati gwenu yakatakula kupitila mwenga.
For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 “Mlongu hakamgalambuki mlongu gwakuwi kalagwi na tati hakamgalambuki mwana gwakuwi na wana hawawatenduwi walera wawu na kuwalaga.
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
22 Wantu woseri hawawakalalireni mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni. Kumbiti ulii yakahepelera mpaka upeleru, ndo hakalopoziwi
You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
23 Wantu pawawapunja pakati pa lushi lumu, mtugili lushi lumonga. Nuwagambirani nakaka, hapeni mumalili lihengu lyenu mulushi zoseri za israeli pamberi pa kwiza Mwana gwa Muntu.
When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “Kwahera mfundwa yakawera mkulu kuliku mfunda gwakuwi, ama ntumintumi kuwera mkulu kuliku mtuwa gwakuwi.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Itosha kwa mfundwa kuwera gambira mfunda gwakuwi na ntumintumi kuwera gambira mtuwa gwakuwi. Payiwera mtuwa gwa kaya wamshema Belizebuli, su wenikaya hawashemwi ata matawu gadoda nentu!”
It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26 “Su, namuwatira wantu. Shoseri shashigubikitwi hashigubutulwi, na shashiwera muubada, hashimaniki.
So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27 Shanuwagambirani mwenga muluwindu, mpaka mushitakuli muulangala, na shilii shampikinira muubada mfiruwa gushibwera pampindi pa shitwiku.
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.
28 Namuwatira woseri yawalaga nshimba, kumbiti waweza ndiri kuilaga rohu, mbaka nentu mumtiri Mlungu yakaweza kulaga vyoseri nshimba pamuhera na rohu mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Wampongu wawili wawawuza kwa ligwala limu, kumbiti ata yumu gwawu hapeni katuluki pasi pota na kufira Tati gwenu.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30 Kumbiti kwa mwenga, ata viri zya mumituwi yenu zoseri ziwalangwa kala.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Su namtira, mwenga mwana mana nentu kuliku wampongu wavua!”
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Wantu woseri yawanjimira paweru handa waneni, hantendi viraa avi kulongolu kwa Tati ka kumpindi.
Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.
33 Kumbiti yoseri yakanema neni palongolu pa wantu, naneni hanumlemi kulongolu kwa Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 “Namulihola kuwera niza kujega ponga pasipanu. Ndala, niza ndiri kujega ponga, kumbiti upanga.
Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Niziti kuwatenda wana wawagalambuki watati wawu, wahinga wawagalambuki wamawu wawu, wanahonga wawagalambuki wamawu nahonga wawu,
For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 na wangondu wa muntu ndo wantu wa kaya yaku mweni.
A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Walii wawamfira tati gwawu ama mawu gwawu kuliku neni, hapeni waweri wafundwa waneni, walii yawawafira wantemba wawu ama wahinga wawu kuliku neni hapeni waweri wafundwa wangu.
Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38 Muntu yakatola ndiri lupingika lwakuwi na kunfata neni, hapeni kaweri mfundwa gwangu.
and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39 Woseri yawagabatilira makaliru gawu, hakawahowiziyi, kumbiti woseri yawagahoziya makaliru gawu toziya yaneni, hawagalopoziyi.
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
40 “Yoseri yakawashemerani, kashemera neni na yakanshemera neni, kamshemera ulii yakamtumiti.
He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
41 Yakamshemera mbuyi gwa Mlungu toziya ndo mbuyi gwa Mlungu, hakanki lifupu lya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Na yakamshemera muntu muheri toziya ndo muntu muheri, hakanki lifupu lya muntu muheri.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Nuwagambirani nakaka, yoseri yakamupa yumu gwawu gwa wadidika awa yawanfata neni shikombi sha mashi gazizimira toziya ndo mfundwa gwa neni, nakaka hakapati lifupu lyakuwi.”
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
