Luka 10
1 Baada ya mambo hayo, Bwana akachagua sabini wengine, na kuwatuma wawili wawili wamtangulie katika kila mji na eneo alilotarajia kwenda.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.
2 Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanyakazi ni wachache. Hivyo basi muombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume haraka wafanyakazi katika mavuno yake.
Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3 Enendeni katika miji. Angalieni, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu.
Go your way. Look, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 Msibebe mfuko wa pesa, wala mikoba ya wasafiri, wala viatu, wala msimsalimie yeyote njiani.
Carry no money bag, nor pack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way.
5 Katika nyumba yeyote mtakayo ingia, kwanza semeni, 'Amani iwe katika nyumba hii.'
Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 kama mtu wa amani yupo pale, amani yenu itabaki juu yake, lakini kama sivyo, itarudi kwenu.
If a peaceful person is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 Bakini katika nyumba hiyo, kuleni na mnywe watakachokitoa, kwa maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msihame kutoka nyumba hii kwenda nyingine.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 Mji wowote muuingiao, na wakawapokea, kuleni chochote kitakachowekwa mbele yenu,
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 na ponyeni wagonjwa waliomo humo. Semeni kwao, 'Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yanu'
Heal the sick who are in it, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 Lakini katika mji wowote mtakaoingia, na wasiwapokee, nendeni nje katika barabara na semeni,
But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Hata vumbi katika mji wenu lililonata miguu mwetu tunalikung'uta dhidi yenu! Lakini tambueni hili, Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.'
'Even the dust from your city that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God is near.'
12 Ninawambieni kwamba siku ya hukumu itakuwa ni usitahamilivu zaidi kwa Sodoma kuliko mji huo.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sedum than for that city.
13 Ole kwako Korazini, Ole kwako Bethsaida! Kama kazi kuu zilizo fanyika ndani yako ingalifanyika Tiro na Sidoni, Wangelitubu zamani sana, wakikaa ndani ya nguo za gunia na majivu.
"Woe to you, Korazin. Woe to you, Beth-Sayada. For if the mighty works had been done in Tsur and Tsaidan which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Lakini itakuwa usitahamilivu zaidi siku ya hukumu kwa Tiro na Sidoni zaidi yenu.
But it will be more tolerable for Tsur and Tsaidan in the judgment than for you.
15 Wewe Kapernaumu, Unafikiri utainuliwa mpaka Mbinguni? Hapana, utashushwa chini mpaka kuzimu (Hadēs g86)
And you, Kepharnakhum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Sheyul. (Hadēs g86)
16 Atakaye wasikiliza ninyi anisikiliza mimi, na yeyote atakaye wakataa anikataa mimi, na yeyote anikataaye mimi anmtakaa aliyenituma”
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 Wale sabini walirudi kwa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata mapepo wanatutii katika jina lako.”
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 Yesu akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani akianguka kutoka mbinguni kama radi.
He said to them, "I saw Satana having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Tazama, nimewapa mamlaka ya kukanyaga nyoka na nge, na nguvu zote za adui, na hapana chochote kwa njia yoyote kitakachowadhuru.
Look, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Hata hivyo msifurahi tu katika hili, kwamba roho zinawatii, lakini furahini zaidi kwamba majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21 Katika mda uleule alifurahi sana katika Roho Mtakatifu, na kusema, “Ninakusifu wewe, Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa sababu umeyaficha mambo haya kutoka kwa wenye hekima na akili, na kuyafunua kwa wasio fundishwa, kama watoto wadogo. Ndio, Baba, kwa kuwa ilipendeza katika machoni pako.”
In that same hour he rejoiced in the Rukha d'Qudsha, and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."
22 “Kila kitu kimekabidhiwa kwangu na Baba yangu, na hakuna afahamuye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, na hakuna afahamuye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na ye yote ambaye Mwana hutamani kujifunua kwake.”
"All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
23 Akawageukia wanafunzi, akasema faraghani, “Wamebarikiwa wayaonayo haya ambayo ninyi mnayaona.
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 Ninawambia ninyi, kwamba manabii wengi na wafalme walitamani kuona mambo myaonayo, na hawakuyaona, na kusikia kusikia mnayoyaikia, na hawakuyasikia.”
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."
25 Tazama, mwalimu fulani wa sheria ya Kiyahudi alisimama na kumjaribu, akisema, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini niurithi izima wa milele?” (aiōnios g166)
And look, a certain Law scholar stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu akamwambia, “Kimeandikwa nini katika sheria? Unaisoma je?”
He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"
27 Akajibu akasema, “Utampenda Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote, na kwa akili zako zote, na jirani yako kama nafsi yako mwenyewe.”
He answered, "You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
28 Yesu akasema, “Umejibu kwa usahihi. Fanya hivi na utaishi.”
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
29 Lakini mwalimu, akitamani kujihesabia haki mwenyewe, Akamwambia Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, "Who is my neighbor?"
30 Yesu akijibu akasema, “Mtu fulani alikuwa akitelemka kutoka Yerusalem kwenda Yeriko. Akaangukia kati ya wanyang'anyi, waliomnyang'anya mali yake, na kumpiga na kumuacha karibu akiwa nusu mfu.
Yeshua answered, "A certain man was going down from Urishlim to Irikhu, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Kwa bahati kuhani fulani alikuwa akishuka katika njia hiyo, alipo muona alipita upande mwingine.
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Vivyo hivyo Mlawi pia, alipofika mahali pale na kumuona, akapita upande mwingine.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 Lakini Msamaria mmoja, alipokuwa akisafiri, alipita pale alipokuwa mtu huyo. alipomuona, alisukumwa kwa huruma.
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 Alimkaribia na kumfunga vidonda vyake, akimwiga mafuta na divai juu yake. Alimpandisha juu ya mnyama wake, na kumpeleka katika nyumba ya wageni na kumhudumia.
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Siku ilyofuata alichukua dinari mbili, na akampatia mmiliki wa nyumba ya wageni na kumwambia, 'Muhudumie na chochote cha ziada utakacho tumia, nitakulipa nitakaporudi.'
On the next day, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
36 Ni yupi kati ya hawa watatu, unafikiri, alikuwa ni jirani kwake yeye aliyeangukia kati ya wanyang'anyi?”
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 Mwalimu alisema, “Ni yule aliyeonesha huruma kwake.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda na ukafanye vivyo hivyo”
He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Yeshua said to him, "Go and do likewise."
38 Sasa walipokuwa wakisafiri, waliingia katika kijiji fulani, na mwanamke mmoja jina lake Martha alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Marta received him.
39 Alikuwa na dada aliyeitwa Mariamu, aliekaa miguuni pa Bwana na kusikiliza neno lake.
She had a sister called Maryam, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.
40 Lakini Martha alijipa shughuli nyingi za kuandaa mlo. Alikwenda kwa Yesu, na kusema, “Bwana, haujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nihudumu peke yangu? Hivyo basi mwambie anisaidie.”
But Marta was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
41 Lakini Bwana alimjibu na kumwambia, “Martha, Martha, una sumbuka juu ya mambo mengi,
But the Lord answered and said to her, "Marta, Marta, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 lakini ni kitu kimoja tu cha muhimu. Mariamu amechagua kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa kutoka kwake.”
but one thing is needed. Maryam has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
