Luka 17
1 Wabhabhola asambelezewa bhakwe, “evisyo sevi nebudi ahwenze lelo ole wakwe omntu ola ambaye gahwenza afwatane nomwahale!
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘It is inevitable that there should be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
2 Yakhondeye zaidi omntu oyo iwe elyasyole lipinyeve msingo yakwe aponywe mwidimi, ashile abhavisye miongoni mwadodo ebha.
It would be better for them if they had been flung into the sea with a millstone round their neck, rather than that they should cause even one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Hwirindi. Nkashile ohoro waho nkakoseye sunde, nkarambe sajire.
Be on your guard! If your brother or sister does wrong, rebuke them; but if they repent, forgive them.
4 Nankashile akosire mara saba katika isiku limo, nawele hwiliwe mara saba nkayanje, 'erabha,' sajire!”
Even if they wrong you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says “I am sorry,” you must forgive them.’
5 Atumwa bhabhola Gosi, “Tonjezye oweteho.”
‘Give us more faith,’ said the apostles to the Master;
6 Ogosi wayanga, “nkashele mgari no lweteho ekiasi eshe chembe eye haradali, mwezaga alibhole iko eli senyeha, 'utotwe mwidimi,' wope ungewaheshimu.
but the Master said, ‘If your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.
7 Lelo wenu hwilimwe, omwanesho obhomba yalima au yadima ing'ombe, yabhalubho nawera afume hugonda, 'Enzaa epa nanali khara olye eshalye?
Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, “Come at once and take your place at the table,”
8 Je sabhahulobhe mbombele tayari eshalye endwe, hwipinye ombombele hata endwe na mwele. Nawe pobhalya na mwele?
Instead of saying “Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself”?
9 Je abhahupere emwasalipa ola obhomba mbombo afwanaje abhombile galajiziwe?
Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
10 Shesho namwe namwayibha mumari abhombe gonti gamlajiziwe yangaje 'Ate tili bhasontezewa bhasebhali ne faida. Tibhombile wene gaganziwaga tibhombe.'
And so with you – when you have done all that you have been told, still say “We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.”’
11 Yabha nabhali mwidara nabhala hu Yerusalemu, ali ashira mhati eye Samaria na Galilaya.
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Nawinjira mshijiji shimo, atangene nu bhantu kumi bhali no ukoma. Bhemelela sahutari
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
13 bhakhora humaza bhayanga “Ee Yesu, Gosi owa Gosi otisajire.”
Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly, ‘Jesus! Sir! Pity us!’
14 Nawabhalola wabhabhola, “Eshi bhalaji mhwibhonezye hwa kohani.” yabha nabhali bhabhale bhahozyewe.
When Jesus saw them, he said, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priest.’ And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
15 Na omo miongoni mwabho nawalola aje aponile awelile, ohuu ahutukuzya Ongolobhe hwizu igosi.
One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
16 Wagwa fugamila pamagaga gakwe na husalifwe wapa ali msamaria.
and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 O Yesu wagalura, wayanga, “Sebhatakasyewe wonti kumi? Bhala tisa bhalihwi?
‘Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine – where are they?
18 Eshi sebhabhonesha bhabhawelile hupele Ongolobhe, outukufu ila ojenyi ono?”
Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 Wabhora, “Imelela walaga wewe olweteho lwaho lumwauye.”
Get up,’ he said to him, ‘and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.’
20 Nabhozyewaga na mafarisayo umwene owa Ngolobhe wayenza ndii, Aglula wabhabhola, “Umwe owa Ngolobhe seuhwenza agodezyegozye.
Being once asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered, ‘The kingdom of God does not come in a way that can be seen,
21 Wala sebhayiyanga, 'Enya uhweli ohwo!' au, 'Hula!' afwanaje enya umwene owa Ngolobhe uhweli mhati yenyu.”
nor will people say “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!”; for the kingdom of God is within you!
22 Wabhabhola asambeleziwa bhakwe, “Ensiku zihwenza namwitamani alole isiku limo katika ensiku zyakwe Omwana wa Adamu, samwaizilola.
The day will come,’ he said to his disciples, ‘when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.
23 Antele bhayibhabhola, 'Enyi, ohu! Mganje, sogole pala!' Paruhweli wala msabharondozye,
People will say to you “There he is!” Or “Here he is!” Do not go and follow them.
24 afwanaje neshe shila oumeme shaukhozya hata upande ou owensi eye mwanya. Esho shashayiha Omwana owa Adamu katika ensiku zyakwe.
For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 Lelo ahwanda sali nebudi apate marabha aminji na khanwe neshikholo.
But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
26 Ila nkashele shashahali ensiku ezya Nuhu, esho shashayibha katika ensiku zyakwe Omwana owa Adamu.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
27 Bhali bhalya na mwele na hweje na hwegwe hata isiku ila o Nuhu yahinjile katika mwisafina amakhoshi gahishile gabhangamizizye wonti.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Na nkashile shahali katika ensiku zya Lutu, bhali bhalya na mwele, wali bhakala na kazye, bhatotaga nazenje.
So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29 Lelo isiku lila Lutu yafumile Msodoma, gwahishile omwoto neshibiriti afume amwanya gwabhatezizye wonti.
but, on the very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
30 Esho shashayibha isiku lila lyayibhonesyewa owa Omwana owa Adamu.
It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
31 Katika isiku lila yali juu yogoro na evyelelo vyakuwa vili mhati eyenyumba agaje hwishe ili ayeje. Nantele yali hugonda ga jewele hwisalo.
On that day, if a person is on their house-top and their goods in the house, they must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm turn back.
32 Izuhaji oshe wa Lutu.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Omntu yoyonti yabhaponje enafisi yakwe abhayitezye nayoyonti yayitezye, abhayiponie.
Whoever is eager to get the most out of their life will lose it; but whoever will lose it will preserve it.
34 Wabhabhola, osiku owo abhantu bhabhele bhayibha ishitara shimo. Omo ayegwe omo ayilehwa.
On that night, I tell you, of two people on the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
35 Abhashe bhabhele bhayibha bhasya pandwemo, omo ayegwe omo ayilehwa.” Abhantu bhabheke bhayibha hugonda omo ayegwa omo ayirehwa.”
of two women grinding grain together, one will be taken and the other left.’
37 Bhagalula bhabhozya, “Woshi, Gosi?” Wabhabhola, “Peli efwe nyene pepo pabhayitanganila enyonyi.”
‘Where will it be, Master?’ asked the disciples. ‘Where there is a body,’ said Jesus, ‘there will the vultures flock.’
