Matayu 10
1 Yesu kawashemiti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili, kawapanana uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya wantu malweri na kila ulweri.
And having called His twelve disciples to Himself, He gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every disease and every 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,
And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James 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 of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Simoni Mkanani na Yuda Isikariyoti, ndo mweni yakamgalambukiti Yesu.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered Him up.
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 forth, having given command to them, saying, “Do not go away to the way of the nations, and do not go into a city of the Samaritans,
6 Kumbiti mgendi kwa wantu wa Israeli yawagamiliti gambira kondolu.
and be going rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Mgendi na mbweri, ‘Ufalumi wa kumpindi wapakwegera.’
And going on, proclaim, saying that the kingdom of the heavens has come near;
8 Mponiziyi walweli, muwazyukisiyi yawahowiti, muwapungi woseri yawalwala ugumbula na muwawusiyi washamshera. Wawapanana hera, su mwenga mtendi pota kuluwa shibena mgongu.
be healing [those] ailing, raising the dead, cleansing lepers, casting out demons—freely you received, freely give.
9 Namtola zahabu, ama mpiya, ama magwala ga shaba mumihaku mwenu,
Do not provide gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
10 namtola muhaku gwa kuluwira munjira, ama likoti lyamonga, ama vilwatu, ama luhonga. Toziya watendalihengu wafiruwa wapati vyawafira.
nor leather pouch for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff—for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
11 “Pamwingira pakati pa lushi loseri ama shijiji, msakuli amu muntu yoseri yakafira kuwashemera na mlikali pamuhera nayomberi mpaka pamwuka pahala palii.
And into whatever city or village you may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and abide there, until you may go forth.
12 Pamwingira mnumba mtakuli, ‘Ponga iweri na mwenga.’
And coming into the house greet it,
13 Handa wenikaya wa numba ilii wawashemerani, su ponga ya kulamsiya kwa mwenga haikali, kumbiti wafira ndiri kuwashemera, kulamsiya kwenu kwa ponga hakukuwuyirani maweni.
and if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come on it; and if it is not worthy, 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 whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
15 Nuwagambirani nakaka handa lishaka lya kutozwa, Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu wantu wa Sodoma na Gomora kuliku wantu wa lushi alu!”
truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 “Mpikaniri! Neni nuwalagalira mwenga gambira kondolu kugenda pakati pa wamaminyi. Muweri na luhala gambira njoka na mwawananaga gambira ng'unda.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, therefore be wise as the serpents, and pure as the doves.
17 Mlikali weri, toziya wantu hawawawingani mwenga na hawawajegeni mushizyungu na hawawasyatangi ntomondu munumba za Mlungu.
And take heed of men, for they will give you up to Sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
18 Toziya ya neni hamjegwi palongolu pa wakolamlima na wafalumi, mpati kuwagambira Visoweru Viwagira na kuwagambira wantu wa isi zimonga.
and before governors and kings you will be brought for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 Su, pawawajegani mwenga pashizyungu, namuwera na lyoga handa hamtakuli shishi ama hamlongi hashi, shipindi pashisoka, hampati sha kuyowera.
And whenever they may deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you may speak, for it will be given you in that hour what you will speak;
20 Toziya visoweru vyamgenda kuyowera vya mwenga ndiri, kumbiti havizi kulawa kwa Rohu gwa Tati gwenu yakatakula kupitila mwenga.
for you are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
21 “Mlongu hakamgalambuki mlongu gwakuwi kalagwi na tati hakamgalambuki mwana gwakuwi na wana hawawatenduwi walera wawu na kuwalaga.
And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children will rise up against parents, and will put them to death,
22 Wantu woseri hawawakalalireni mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni. Kumbiti ulii yakahepelera mpaka upeleru, ndo hakalopoziwi
and you will be hated by all because of My Name, but he who has endured to the end, he 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.
And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for truly I say to you, you may not have finished [going through] the cities of Israel until the Son of Man may come.
24 “Kwahera mfundwa yakawera mkulu kuliku mfunda gwakuwi, ama ntumintumi kuwera mkulu kuliku mtuwa gwakuwi.
A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
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!”
sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they called Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?
26 “Su, namuwatira wantu. Shoseri shashigubikitwi hashigubutulwi, na shashiwera muubada, hashimaniki.
You may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
27 Shanuwagambirani mwenga muluwindu, mpaka mushitakuli muulangala, na shilii shampikinira muubada mfiruwa gushibwera pampindi pa shitwiku.
that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on 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)
And do not be afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (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 an assarion? And one of them will not fall on the ground without your Father;
30 Kumbiti kwa mwenga, ata viri zya mumituwi yenu zoseri ziwalangwa kala.
and of you—even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
31 Su namtira, mwenga mwana mana nentu kuliku wampongu wavua!”
therefore, do not be afraid, you are better than many sparrows.
32 “Wantu woseri yawanjimira paweru handa waneni, hantendi viraa avi kulongolu kwa Tati ka kumpindi.
Everyone, therefore, who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens;
33 Kumbiti yoseri yakanema neni palongolu pa wantu, naneni hanumlemi kulongolu kwa Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
and whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.
34 “Namulihola kuwera niza kujega ponga pasipanu. Ndala, niza ndiri kujega ponga, kumbiti upanga.
You may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
35 Niziti kuwatenda wana wawagalambuki watati wawu, wahinga wawagalambuki wamawu wawu, wanahonga wawagalambuki wamawu nahonga wawu,
for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
36 na wangondu wa muntu ndo wantu wa kaya yaku mweni.
and the enemies of a man are those of his 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.
He who is cherishing father or mother above Me, is not worthy of Me, and he who is cherishing son or daughter above Me, is not worthy of Me,
38 Muntu yakatola ndiri lupingika lwakuwi na kunfata neni, hapeni kaweri mfundwa gwangu.
and whoever does not receive his cross and follow after Me, is not worthy of Me.
39 Woseri yawagabatilira makaliru gawu, hakawahowiziyi, kumbiti woseri yawagahoziya makaliru gawu toziya yaneni, hawagalopoziyi.
He who found his life will lose it, and he who lost his life for My sake will find it.
40 “Yoseri yakawashemerani, kashemera neni na yakanshemera neni, kamshemera ulii yakamtumiti.
He who is receiving you receives Me, and he who is receiving Me receives Him 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.
he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, will receive a prophet’s reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of 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 whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward.”
