Luka 10
1 Baada ya mambo hayo, Bwana akachagua sabini wengine, na kuwatuma wawili wawili wamtangulie katika kila mji na eneo alilotarajia kwenda.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead, two by two, to every town and place where he himself was about to go.
2 Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wafanyakazi ni wachache. Hivyo basi muombeni Bwana wa mavuno, ili kwamba atume haraka wafanyakazi katika mavuno yake.
He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
3 Enendeni katika miji. Angalieni, ninawatuma kama kondoo katikati ya mbwa mwitu.
Now go on your way. Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.
4 Msibebe mfuko wa pesa, wala mikoba ya wasafiri, wala viatu, wala msimsalimie yeyote njiani.
Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, and no sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 Katika nyumba yeyote mtakayo ingia, kwanza semeni, 'Amani iwe katika nyumba hii.'
Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peace be upon this house!’
6 kama mtu wa amani yupo pale, amani yenu itabaki juu yake, lakini kama sivyo, itarudi kwenu.
If there is a man of peace there, your peace will rest upon 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 the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 Mji wowote muuingiao, na wakawapokea, kuleni chochote kitakachowekwa mbele yenu,
Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
9 na ponyeni wagonjwa waliomo humo. Semeni kwao, 'Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yanu'
Heal the sick in that city and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 Lakini katika mji wowote mtakaoingia, na wasiwapokee, nendeni nje katika barabara na semeni,
But whenever you enter a town 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 that clings to us from your town we wipe off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
12 Ninawambieni kwamba siku ya hukumu itakuwa ni usitahamilivu zaidi kwa Sodoma kuliko mji huo.
I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
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 yoʋ, Chorazin! Woe to yoʋ, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 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 at the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
15 Wewe Kapernaumu, Unafikiri utainuliwa mpaka Mbinguni? Hapana, utashushwa chini mpaka kuzimu (Hadēs g86)
And yoʋ, Capernaum, who have been exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Atakaye wasikiliza ninyi anisikiliza mimi, na yeyote atakaye wakataa anikataa mimi, na yeyote anikataaye mimi anmtakaa aliyenituma”
“He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 Wale sabini walirudi kwa furaha, wakisema, “Bwana, hata mapepo wanatutii katika jina lako.”
When the seventy returned, they were joyful and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in yoʋr name.”
18 Yesu akawaambia, “Nilimwona Shetani akianguka kutoka mbinguni kama radi.
He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
19 Tazama, nimewapa mamlaka ya kukanyaga nyoka na nge, na nguvu zote za adui, na hapana chochote kwa njia yoyote kitakachowadhuru.
Behold, I am giving you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and to overcome all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all will harm you.
20 Hata hivyo msifurahi tu katika hili, kwamba roho zinawatii, lakini furahini zaidi kwamba majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit 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.”
At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in yoʋr 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.”
Then he turned to the disciples and said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Akawageukia wanafunzi, akasema faraghani, “Wamebarikiwa wayaonayo haya ambayo ninyi mnayaona.
Then he turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what 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 wished to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but 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 behold, a lawyer stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu akamwambia, “Kimeandikwa nini katika sheria? Unaisoma je?”
Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do yoʋ 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, “Yoʋ shall love the Lord yoʋr God with all yoʋr heart, with all yoʋr soul, with all yoʋr strength, and with all yoʋr mind; and yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
28 Yesu akasema, “Umejibu kwa usahihi. Fanya hivi na utaishi.”
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have answered correctly; do this and yoʋ will live.”
29 Lakini mwalimu, akitamani kujihesabia haki mwenyewe, Akamwambia Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And 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.
Jesus replied, “A man was going down to Jericho from Jerusalem and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him as he was, half dead.
31 Kwa bahati kuhani fulani alikuwa akishuka katika njia hiyo, alipo muona alipita upande mwingine.
Now a priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw the man, 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, when he came to that 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 Samaritan, who was on a journey, came to where the man was, and 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.
He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, 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, when he was departing, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more yoʋ spend I will repay to yoʋ 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 yoʋ think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 Mwalimu alisema, “Ni yule aliyeonesha huruma kwake.” Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda na ukafanye vivyo hivyo”
The lawyer said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 Sasa walipokuwa wakisafiri, waliingia katika kijiji fulani, na mwanamke mmoja jina lake Martha alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.
As Jesus and his disciples went along, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
39 Alikuwa na dada aliyeitwa Mariamu, aliekaa miguuni pa Bwana na kusikiliza neno lake.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet and listened to what he was saying.
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 Martha was distracted by the many preparations that had to be made. So she came up to Jesus and said, “Lord, do yoʋ not care that my sister has left me to make all the preparations by myself? Tell her then to assist me.”
41 Lakini Bwana alimjibu na kumwambia, “Martha, Martha, una sumbuka juu ya mambo mengi,
But Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, yoʋ are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 lakini ni kitu kimoja tu cha muhimu. Mariamu amechagua kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa kutoka kwake.”
but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
