Matayu 10
1 Yesu kawashemiti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili, kawapanana uwezu wa kuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya wantu malweri na kila ulweri.
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 emissaries are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, his brother;
3 Filipu na Baritulumayu, Tomasi na Matayu yakaweriti mtola kodi, Yakobu mwana gwa Alifayu na Tadeyi,
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called Taddai;
4 Simoni Mkanani na Yuda Isikariyoti, ndo mweni yakamgalambukiti Yesu.
Simon the Zealot; and Judah 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.
Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go amongst the Gentiles, and don’t 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.’
As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
8 Mponiziyi walweli, muwazyukisiyi yawahowiti, muwapungi woseri yawalwala ugumbula na muwawusiyi washamshera. Wawapanana hera, su mwenga mtendi pota kuluwa shibena mgongu.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
9 Namtola zahabu, ama mpiya, ama magwala ga shaba mumihaku mwenu,
Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass 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 coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the labourer 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.
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.’
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.
If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t 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.
Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Nuwagambirani nakaka handa lishaka lya kutozwa, Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu wantu wa Sodoma na Gomora kuliku wantu wa lushi alu!”
Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement 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 out as sheep amongst wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless 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 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 up, don’t 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.
“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
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures 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 this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 “Kwahera mfundwa yakawera mkulu kuliku mfunda gwakuwi, ama ntumintumi kuwera mkulu kuliku mtuwa gwakuwi.
“A disciple is not above his rabbi, 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 rabbi, 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 don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or 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)
Don’t 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 Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
29 Wampongu wawili wawawuza kwa ligwala limu, kumbiti ata yumu gwawu hapeni katuluki pasi pota na kufira Tati gwenu.
“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to 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 don’t 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 men, I will also confess him 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 men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Namulihola kuwera niza kujega ponga pasipanu. Ndala, niza ndiri kujega ponga, kumbiti upanga.
“Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t 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.
A man’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.
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
38 Muntu yakatola ndiri lupingika lwakuwi na kunfata neni, hapeni kaweri mfundwa gwangu.
He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
39 Woseri yawagabatilira makaliru gawu, hakawahowiziyi, kumbiti woseri yawagahoziya makaliru gawu toziya yaneni, hawagalopoziyi.
He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who 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 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 receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives 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.”
Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
