Luke 17 (BOU) · Opened

1Yesu akawamba wahina wakwe, “Mbui ziekazo wantu watende mavigaviga ziaho misi zose. Akini mmbwii yakwe mntu aetae mbui izo.Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Nee ni ebae mntu uyo ati nee kazongomezwa iwe kuu da kubundugia mwe singo na kutambikwa kwe mazimshindo, kusima kumgosoea yumwe wa wantu wanitongeao atende mavigaviga.It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Ekauweni!” “Inga nduguyo akagosoa mavigaviga, muwakie, inga akamhitukia Muungu, mwekee.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Inga endaho akugosooe mavigaviga maa mfungate kwa msi umwe na maa mfungate akeza kwako akamba, ‘Nahituka.’ Muwekee.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Wagiiwa wakamwamba Zumbe, “Utiomee kuzumiiya muno.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Naye Zumbe akawatambaisa, “Inga kuzumiiya kwenu nee kuwa kudodo inga mbeyu ndodo ya haladali, nee mdaha kuugombeka mti unu wa mkuyu, ng'oka uketwiize mwe mazimshindo nao nee uzumiiya.”And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7“Tambe yumwe yenu ana mndima aima tanga hambu aisa ngoto. Ivi auyaho kulawa tanga, enda amwambe uyo mndima, Soo ude khande kinyio?Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8Khivyo! Enda amwambe, ‘Niikia khande, uvae magwanda yako yakundigwayo unigosoee ndima na weze ugooke hanu hadi nendaho nibinde kuda na kudomea, ndiho nawe ude na kudomeea.’Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9Ivi mntu uyo endaamwekhe ntogoo uyo mndima kwaajii kayagosoa yada ekwembigwayo ayagosoe?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Ivyoivyo na nywinywi mbindiizaho kugosoa yose mwekwembigwavyo kugosoa, tamwiiyani ivi, ‘Swiswi ni wandima tesao kuwa na maiho, tigenyeza yadadu tekukundigwayo kuyagosoa.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Yesu nee atamba kuita mwe mzi wa Yelusalemu hadi kwe mhaka wa gatigati ya Samalia na Galilaya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Ekuwaho engia mwe mzi umwe wantu kumi dimwe wenye utamu wa nyoka nee wakintana naye, wakagooka kwa hae.As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13Nee wakakema na kugombeka, “Yesu mhinyi, tifiiye mbazi!.”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Ekuwaonaho akawamba, “Hitani mkeonyeshe kwa waviki.” Naho wekuwaho waita, wakang'azika.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Yumwe wao ekuonaho kahonywa, nee auya kwa Yesu uku amtogoa Muungu kwa mgutio mkuu.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Nee etambika asi hemeso ya miundi ya Yesu uku amtogoa Muungu. Na mntu uyo nee ni Msamalia.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Aho Yesu akauza, “Khiyo wantu kumi dimwe wekung'azwao? Wada kenda wa hahi?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ivi khekuoneka mntu mtuhu ekuuyae kumwekha ntunyo Muungu iya uyu mgeni ikedu?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Yesu akamwamba uyo mntu, “Gooka uite, kuzumiiya kwako kukuhonya.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Kisingi kimwe, Mafalisayo wakamuuza Yesu, “Useuta wa Muungu wenda weze ini?” Naye akawatambaisa, “Useuta wa Muungu khaweza inga kintu cha kusungumanya kwa meso.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Khahana mntu adahae kugombeka, ‘Uuku’, hambu ‘Uhada,’ kwaajii Useuta wa Muungu uuko gatigati yenu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Yesu nee awamba wahina wakwe, “Misi yeza ambayo mwendamkunde kuona msi umwe gati msi wa Mwana wa Mntu, akini khamna muiyone.Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23Na wantu wenda wawambe, ‘Kauwani, yu hada!’ Hambu ‘Kauweni yu aho!’ Akini nywinywi msekulawa na kuwabasa.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Mmanye kuwa Mwana wa Mntu endaoauye, endaeze inga umbauwa umuikavyo vuupu na kumuiika phande zose za uwanga.For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

25Akini kabla ya ayo, enda asumiizwe muno na kuemewa na wantu wa misi izi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Inga yekuwavyo kisingi cha Nuhu, nee vyeivyo vyendavyo viwe mwe msi wa kuuya kwa Mwana wa Mntu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Misi za Nuhu wantu nee waendeea kuda na kudomea, kutegua na kutegulwa hadi kisingi kia cha Nuhu ekweingiaho mwe Safina, mafuiko makuu yakeza yakaimemeeza mazi inusi na kudagamiza wose.People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Indaiwe inga yekulawiavyo kisingi cha Lutu wantu nee waendeea kuda na kudomea, kugua na kutaga, kuhanda mbeyu na kuzenga.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Akini msi uda Lutu ekuhaukaho Sodoma, moto mkai nee useeya kulawa uwanga inga fua na kuwadagamiza wantu wose.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Nee ivyo vyendavyoviwe msi uda Mwana wa Mntu endaho agubulwe.”It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31“Misi iyo, mntu yoyose endae awe uwanga ya chusi asekuseea kuita nyumbani kudoa vintu vyakwe. Ivyo, nae mwendae awe tanga asekuuya kaya kudoa chochose.On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32Mkumbukani yada yekumpatayo mkaza Lutu.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Mntu yoyose endae akunde kuuohowa ugima wakwe, endaawaze na mntu yoyose awazaye ugima wakwe enda auohowe.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Nawamba, kio cha msi uwo wantu waidi wendawawe wagona hamwe mwe usazi, yumwe endaadoigwe na yuda mtuhu endaabadwe.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Wavyee waidi wenda wawe wabunduga, yumwe enda adoigwe na mtuhu enda abadwe.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Wantu waidi wenda wawe mwe mnda waima, yumwe enda adoigwe na mtuhu enda abadwe.”Not in the BSB

37Wahina wakwe wakamuuza, “Zumbe, ayo wekugombekayo yendayalawiiye hahi?” Naye Yesu akawatambaisa kwa msimo akagombeka, “Henaho mwii wekuuyo na nyuma, aho ndiho mbizi wendaowakintane.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
