Matayu 10
1 Yesu kawashemiti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili, kawapanana uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya wantu malweri na kila ulweri.
And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal 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,
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
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 the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simoni Mkanani na Yuda Isikariyoti, ndo mweni yakamgalambukiti Yesu.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Yesu kawatumiti awa lilongu na wawili na kawapananiti malagaliru aga, “Namgenda kwa wantu wa isi zimonga, ama namwingira pakati pa lushi lwa Wasamariya.
Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Kumbiti mgendi kwa wantu wa Israeli yawagamiliti gambira kondolu.
Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Mgendi na mbweri, ‘Ufalumi wa kumpindi wapakwegera.’
And as you go, proclaim, saying, '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, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9 Namtola zahabu, ama mpiya, ama magwala ga shaba mumihaku mwenu,
Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
10 namtola muhaku gwa kuluwira munjira, ama likoti lyamonga, ama vilwatu, ama luhonga. Toziya watendalihengu wafiruwa wapati vyawafira.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
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 enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
12 Pamwingira mnumba mtakuli, ‘Ponga iweri na mwenga.’
And as you enter into the household, 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 the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but 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 does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
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 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.
"Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
17 Mlikali weri, toziya wantu hawawawingani mwenga na hawawajegeni mushizyungu na hawawasyatangi ntomondu munumba za Mlungu.
But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, 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.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings 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.
But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Toziya visoweru vyamgenda kuyowera vya mwenga ndiri, kumbiti havizi kulawa kwa Rohu gwa Tati gwenu yakatakula kupitila mwenga.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks 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 the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 Wantu woseri hawawakalalireni mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni. Kumbiti ulii yakahepelera mpaka upeleru, ndo hakalopoziwi
And 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.
But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities 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 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!”
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.
26 “Su, namuwatira wantu. Shoseri shashigubikitwi hashigubutulwi, na shashiwera muubada, hashimaniki.
Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
27 Shanuwagambirani mwenga muluwindu, mpaka mushitakuli muulangala, na shilii shampikinira muubada mfiruwa gushibwera pampindi pa shitwiku.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in 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 who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to 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 an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
30 Kumbiti kwa mwenga, ata viri zya mumituwi yenu zoseri ziwalangwa kala.
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Su namtira, mwenga mwana mana nentu kuliku wampongu wavua!”
Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32 “Wantu woseri yawanjimira paweru handa waneni, hantendi viraa avi kulongolu kwa Tati ka kumpindi.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Kumbiti yoseri yakanema neni palongolu pa wantu, naneni hanumlemi kulongolu kwa Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Namulihola kuwera niza kujega ponga pasipanu. Ndala, niza ndiri kujega ponga, kumbiti upanga.
"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send 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 odds 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 a person's foes will be those 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.
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves 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 whoever does not take 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.
Whoever seeks 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.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives 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.
The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person'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 gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
