1 pambele uMutwa akatavula fijigho lekela lubale navange, navasung'ua vavili vavili vamulongolele mumakaja ghoni ghano alyahuvilile kuluta.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 akavavula akati, “ifinu fimotwike, neke avanyambombo vadebe. lino munsume uMutwa unyamote, neke kuuti avasung'e ng'aning'ani avavombi mu mote jake.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 mulutaghe mumakaaja. lolagha nikuvasung'ha hwene ng'hollo pakate pa ng'hekeva.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 namungapindaghe inyambe ija ndalama, nambe isa vanyavukyusi, nambe ifilatu, nambe namungamwungilaghe umuunhu hweni musila.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet any one on your journey.
5 mu nyumba jojoni jino kyande mukwingila. mutalaghe kwiti, ulutengano luve munyumba iji.
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 ndeve pwale umuunhu ghwa lutengano pala, ulutengano lwinu lusighala kwa mwene.
Then, if any one there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest upon him; but if not, it will come back upon yourselves.
7 neke mujighaghe munyumba ijio, mulisaghe napinyua kino kyande vihumia, ulwakuva um'bombi anoghile uluhombo lwake. namungahumaghe mu nyumba iji nakuluta ku nyumba ijinge.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth his wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 ilikaaja lyolyoni lino kya mukwingila, na kukuvupila, lisagha kyokyoni kino kivikilue pa maaso ghinu,
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 muvasosyaghe avatamu vano vali umuo, muvavulaghe kuuti, “uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwisile pipi kulyume.
cure the sick there, and tell people ‘The Kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 neke mulikaaja lyolyoni lino kyale mukwingila, na kuleka kukuvupila, mulutaghe kunji pa nsevo pe muvavule,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 naliling'unde mulikaaja liinu lino likolile mu maghulu ghitu tukung'una pa maaso ghinu! neke mukagule kuuti, uvutwa vwa Nguluve vuli pipi.
‘We wipe off the very dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the Kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 nikuvavula kuuti ikighono ikya vuhighi kiliva kya lugudo kukila kwa Sodoma kuliko ilikaaja ilio.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on ‘That Day’ than the doom of that town.
13 iga uve Kolasini, iga uve Betisaida! nave imbombo imbaha sinosivombike mun'kate mun'kate jako, sale sivombike ku Tiro na ku Sidoni, ndevalatile katali kyongo, vavikukala mu n'kate mu mhenda agha magunila na mapembo.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the Miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 neke kwaki kyongo ikighono kya vuhighi kwa Tiro nu Sidoni kukila umue.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the Judgment than yours.
15 uve Karelinaumu, ghusagha kuuti vilikukutosia kukyanya kwa Nguluve? nambe vilikukwisia paasi kuhanga kuvulungu. (Hadēs )
And you, Capernaum! Will you ‘exalt yourself to heaven’? ‘You shall go down to the Place of Death.’ (Hadēs )
16 juno kyande ikuvapulikisia umue ikumulikisia une, ghwope juno ikuvakana, ikung'hana une, na ghweni juno ikung'hana une ikun'kana juno anisung'ile.
He who listens to you is listening to me, and he who rejects you is rejecting me; while he who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his Messenger.”
17 vala kijigho lekela lubale vakagomoka vahovwike, vakaati, “Mutwa ghope amapepo amalamafu ghikutukunda militavua lyako.
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully: “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 uYesu akavavula akati,” numwaghile usetano pano ighua kuhuma kukyanya hwene lumuli lwa fula?
And Jesus replied: “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 loola! nivapelile uvutavulua uvwa kukanya injoka ni fing'omilevuli, ni ngufu sooni sa valugu, kange kusila kyokyoni ku sila jojoni ikyakuvalemasia.
Remember, I have given you the power to ‘trample upon serpents and scorpions,’ and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing shall ever harm you in any way.
20 nambe lino namungahovokaghe lwene mu ili, kuuti inumbula sikuvitika, neke muhovokaghe kukila kuuti, amatavua ghinu ghalembilue kukyanya.
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in Heaven.”
21 mu n'siki ghula ghula akahovokagha kyongo mwa Mhepo uMwimike na kuuti, “nikukughinia uve, Nhaata, Mutwa ghwa kukyanya ni iisi, ulwakuva ughaisile amasio agha kuhuma kwa nya vukoola na vanya luhala, nakukughafunula ku vala vano navavulanisivue, ndavule avaanha avadebe. Ena, Nhaata kwa kuva lukakelile pa maaso ghako.
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.
22 ifinu fyoni fitavulilue ku lyune nu Nhaata ghwango, nakwale juno ikagula umwana ghwe veeni, looli u Nhaata, kange nakwale juno ikagula uNhaata ghwe veni looli u mwana. nu muunhu ghweni juno umwana inoghelua kukujivonesia kwa mwene.
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.”
23 akavasyetukila avavulanisivua, akati kuvusyefu, vafunyilue vala vano vikusagha sino najumue mukusagha.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 nikuvavula umue. kuuti avavili vinga na vatwa vakanoghilue kusagha sino mukusagha, neke navakasaghile, na kupulika pulika sino mupulika neke navakapulike.
for, I tell you, many Prophets and Kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 loola! um'bulanisi jumonga ughwa ndaghilo isa vaYahudi akimile na kkumughela akati, “m'bulanisi, nivombe kiki nikave uvwumi uvwa kusila nakusila?” (aiōnios )
Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to ‘gain Immortal Life’?” (aiōnios )
26 uYesu akamwamula akati, “kilembilue kiki mu ndaghilo? ghukujimba ndani?
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 akamwamula akati, “ghulukumughana uMutwa ghwako ku mwojo ghwako ghwoni, na kunumbula jako jooni, na kungufu sako sooni, nakuluhala lwako lwoni, nu nino ndavule ghukughana ghwe mwene.
His reply was — “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thou dost thyself.’”
28 uYesu akati, “ghwamwile vunono. vombagha ndiki pe ghuuva nu vwumi.
“You have answered right,” said Jesus; “do that, and you shall live.”
29 neke um'bulanisi ndeve inoghelua kukujivalila ikyang'hhani jujuo, akam'bulagha uYesu,” nu n'jango ghwe veni?
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?”
30 uYesu akamwamula akati, “umuunhu jumonga akale ikwika kuhuma ku Yelusalemu kuluta ku Yeliko. akaghua pakate pa vakunyi vakankunya ikyuma kyake, na kukuntova na kukumuleka pipi pifua.
To which Jesus replied: “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 hongelagha untekesi jumonga akale ikwika mu sila ijio, ati amwaghile akakila ulubale ulunge.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 naju Mulawi akakila vulevule, ati afikile pala na kukumwagha akakila ulubale ulunge.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 neke un'koola jumonga, pano akale ikyula, akakila pala pano akale umuunhu ujuo. ati amwaghile akaveela kulusungu.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 akam'belelela na kukumpinya ifikong'o fyake, na kukumpaka amafuta mu fikong'o fyake. akantosia pa nkyanya ja kidimua kyake, na kukuntwala ku nyumba ja vaghesi na kum'buvusia.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 ikighono kinokikwisa akatola idinari ivili, na kukumpela unyanyumba jila ija vaghesi na kukum'bula, 'm'buvusie kyokyoni ikya kwongelela nikukuhomba kyande nigomwike.
The next day he took out four shillings and gave them to the inn-keeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 ghusagha kuuti, ghweveni mu ava vatatu, juno alyale pipi na jula juno alyaghwilile pakate pa vakunyi?
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 um”bulanisi akati, “ghwe jula juno akavonisie ulusungu kwa jula juno akaghwile”. uYesu akam'bula akati lutagha na juve ukavombaghe vule vule.
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; on which Jesus said: “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 lino ye vati vikyula, vakingila mu likaaja limonga, nu mukijuuva jumonga ilitavual lwake ghwe Malita akankalibisia mu nyumba jaake.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 alyale nu nuna juno akakemheluagha Maliya, juno akikalagha pamaghulu gha Mutwa na kukumpulikisia amasio ghake.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 neke uMaliya akava ni mbombo nyinga isa kuteleka ikyakulia. akaluta kwa Yesu na kuti, “Mutwa, naghusagha kuuti u nuna vango anilekile nivombaghe ne mwene? pe lino um'bule anangaghe”.
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said: “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 neke uMutwa akamwamula na kukum'bula kuuti,” Malita Malita, ghupumhuka mu nyinga,
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 neke kye kinu kimo kyene ikyakuvomba. uMaliya atavwile kino kinono, kino nakilivuka kuhuma kwa mwene.
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
