Matthew 10 (BOU)

1Naho Yesu akawetanga wahina wakwe kumi dimwe na waidi na kuwekha udaho wakulavya mazaiko na kuhonya matamu yose.And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

2Mazina ya awo waagiiwa kumi dimwe na mbii, Wabosi ni Simoni etangwae Petulo na Andulea nduguye na Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo na Yohana nduguye,These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Filipo na Batiomayo, na Tomasi na Matayo mwekuwa mtoza ushuu na Yakobo mwana wa Alifayo na Tadei,Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simoni ambae nekawa mtoanaji kwaajii ya si yakwe hambu zelote na Yuda Isikaliote mwekumhituka Yesu.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Yesu akawaagiiya awo waagiiwa kumi dimwe na mbii na kuwekha miagiiyo inu, “Mwesekuita kwa wantu wesao kuwa Wayahudi, naho mwesekwengiya mwe mizi ya Wasamalia.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6Iya hitani kwa wantu wa Isilaeli wekwagao inga ngoto.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Na mwiitaho bikiani ivi, ‘Useuta wa uwanga kwa Muungu uhehi!’As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Wahonyeni watamu na wekuyao na nyuma wayuyuseni, na wasunteni wenye utamu wa nyoka na lavyeni mazaiko. Mwekhigwa bue na nywie lavyeni bue.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Mwesekudoa mwe mikwiji yenu zahabu, wala hea wala sensi za shaba.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Mwesekudoa mfuko wa ntambo wa kuombezea vintu siai, wala gwanda da hakiba nawala sabana wala ngoda. Kwaviya mgosozi wa ndima akundigwa ekhigwe maiho yakwe.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11“Mkengia mwe mzi wowose mkuu hambu phaamo yoyose, ondezani mntu ambae akunda kuwahokea na ekaeni aho hake adi mwendaho mhauke hantu aho.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Mwengiaho mwe nyumba iyo ugusani wenyezi wakwe, na kuwamba, ‘Uivanisa uwe nanywi.’As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Inga waaho wantu wedi umo ndani mkawaombee Muungu awajaiye, ati khawana wawe awo wantu wedi Muungu khana awajaiye.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Inga mntu yoyose akaemea kuwahokea hambu kuwategeeza, naho mlawaho mwe nyumba iyo hambu mzi uwo kung'untani sanga ya mwe miundi yenu inga hazo kwao.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Kwei nawagombeka, msi wakuamuiwa mzi uwo wenda wekhigwe sugusa khuu kusima ida yekwekhigwayo ya mizi ya Sodoma na Gomola.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16“Isasa miye nawaagiiya inga ngoto gatigati ya makui ya mzituni. Muwe na unyanyi inga nyoka na muwe wahuhusi inga sua.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Ekaeni hae na wantu, kwaviya wendawamigwiye na kuwegaa mwe mikonga, na wenda wamitoe ngoda mwe nyumba ya kukintania Wayahudi.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Mwendamwegalwe hemeso ya wagookezi na Maseuta kwaajii yangu, ili mdahe kuwagombeka wowo mbui zangu na kwa wantu wesao kuwa Wayahudi.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Naho wendahowawegae he mikonga msekuogoha mwendavyo mgombeke, kwaviya saa idaida mwenda mwekhigwe yakugombeka.But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20Kwaviya khio nywie mwendaomgombeke, iya ni Muye wa Muungu wa Tati yenu nee endaeagombeke umo mwenu.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21“Ndugu endamhituke nduguye akomwe, na tate endaamhituke mwanawe, wana nao wenda wawahituke wavywazi wao wakomwe.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Wantu wose khawana wawakundise kwaajii yangu. Akini mwenda azizimize adi kisiikizi nee mwendaaoholwe.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Wantu wakasumiiza mwe mzi unu guukani mzi mtuhu. Nawamba kwei, khamna mbindiize mizi yose ya wantu wa si ya Isilaeli hadi Mwana wa Mntu endaho eze.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24“Mhina khadaha kumwemboka mhinyi yakwe, na mndima nae khadaha kumwemboka zumbe yakwe.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Yadahika mhina kuwa inga mhinyi yakwe na yadahika mndima kuwa inga zumbe yakwe. Ikawa wanetanga miye mkuu yenu Beelizebuli, Ivi nywie khawana wawetange mazina mafyaimi muno.It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26“Naho msekuwaogoha wantu awo, kwaviya kia mbui yekugubikwayo yendaigubulwe, na kia chekufiswacho chendakioneke.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Niwagombekayo nywie kandani myagombeke he wazo. Kiya niwanong'onezacho nawakunda mkitamwiiye kwa mgutio kiya mntu ategeeze.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Msekuwaogoha wada waukomao mwii, akini khawadaha kuukoma muye. Mwakundigwa kumwogoha Muungu adahae kudagamiza mwii hamwe na muye mwe moto wesao kukomeka.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Wadege waidi wadodo watagwa kwa sensi mwenga ndodo. Akini ata yumwe aho kagwa asi kwesiho Tate yenu kumanya.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30Hata ntaazia ya fii za mitwi yenu Muungu azimanya.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Kwa iyo msekuogoha nywie ni watana he meso ya Muungu kusima wadege wangi.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32“Na yoyose mwendaye anizumiiye hemeso ya wantu, miye nami nendanimzumiiye hemeso ya Tate yangu wa uwanga kwa Muungu.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Iya yoyose mwendayeaniemee hemeso ya wantu, na miye nenda nimuemee hemeso ya Tate yangu wa uwanga kwa Muungu.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34“Msekumamakhanya kuwa ncheza kueta uivanisa mwe inusi iya ncheza kueta khondo.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35Kwaviya ncheza kueta kutokwevana kwa mntu na tati yakwe biti na mami yakwe, mkaza mwana na mame vyaa khawana wevane.For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36Na mmasa wa mntu ni wantu wakaya kwakwe.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37“Amkundisae tate hambu mami yakwe kusima anikundisavyo miye, khadaha kuwa hamwe na miye na akundisae wanawe kusima miye, khadaha kuwa mhina wangu.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38Mntu mwesaekuudoa mhamba wakwe na kunitongea khadaha kuwa mhina wangu.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Mntu akundae kuuhonya ugima wakwe endaawaze, akini endaeawaze ugima wakwe kwaajii yangu wenda wekhigwe.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40“Na yoyose awahokea nywie anihokea miye. Na yoyose anihokea miye, amhokea yuda mwekuniagiiya.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Na yoyose amhokeaye Muoni kwaajii ni Muoni, endaahokee funge da Muoni. Na yoyose amhokeaye mntu agosoaye yada akundayo Muungu, endaekhigwe funge idaida ambayo wekhingwa wada ambao wagosoa akundayo Muungu.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Nawagombeka kwei, yoyose mwenda amwekhe yumwe aho wa wadodo awa kikombe cha mazi ya pheho kwaajii ni mhina yangu, haika khana akose katu kwekhigwa funge dakwe.”And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
