Luke 17 (HAV) · Opened

1Yeesu abwira abigirizwa baage ntya: «Ntaako byankaba yi habula ebyaarhuma abantu baajira ebyaaha, aliko buhanya buchi oku omuntu nji waaba mpanvu y'okujira echaaha!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Kwakabeere kwinja oku yeewe, ashwekerwe olushyo omu gosi, anakabulwe omu nyanja, ahaali h'ogurhuma muguma mw'aba badoorho ajira echaaha.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.

3Muchilange bwinja mwenyine! «Akaba mwene wenyu akujiriire echaaha, omuhanuule. Akaleka ebyaaha byaage, omubabalire.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4N'akaba akujiriire echaaha kali mushanvu omu lusiku, n'akayinja emunda oli kali mushanvu gukubwira ntya: ‹Nalekere ebyaaha byaani›, omubabalire.»Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Entumwa zabwira Nnaweerhu ntya: «Orhuyushuulire obwemeezi.»The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Nnaweerhu ashubiza ntya: «Nka mwaligwerhe chiro obwemeezi bugeeke kuguma n'ehiburho hye haradaali, mwakabwirire ogu murhi gw'agafuleesi ntya: ‹Chikundula onaje guchibyaala omu nyanja›, gwakanabakengere.»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.

7Yeesu ashuba kuderha ntya: «Nka muntu muguma omu mwabo agwerhe omuja ohinga eshwa changwa olagira ebirhungano byaage, hano amubona agaluka gurhenga omu shwa, k'akamubwira ayinje juba alye?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’?

8Nangwa, ahuubwe akamubwira ntya: ‹Nvuyira ebyaani biryo, onayambale bwinja, ompe ndye nanywe; naawe handeke walya onanywe buzinda.›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’?

9Arhagasiimiriza omuja waage okw'ajirire eby'alirhegekerwe kujira, k'arhali ntyo?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Nenyu ntyo kubinali: hano nji muba mwamakola byooshi bibarhegekerwe, muderhe ntya: ‹Rhuli baja barhagwerhe kamaro, hoshaaho rhwajirire ebi rhwalihemerwe kujira.›»So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Yeesu abeere ali omu njira aja eYerusaleema, agera eburhambirhambi b'olubibi lugabire eSamariya n'eGalilaaya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Abeere aja omu gishagala chiguma, ababenzibenzi ekumi bayinja kumushimaana. Bayimanga hale naye.As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13Barhondera kuyaama ntya: «Yeesu, Mwigiriza, orhubeere obonjo!»and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Yeesu abeere ababona, ababwira ntya: «Muje guchiyeerekana emw'abadaahwa.» Babeere bali baaja yo, baava baafuma.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Muguma omu bo, abeere abona afumire, agaluka akuuza Nnamahanga n'omulenge munene.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Achikabula embere z'amagulu ma Yeesu, amalanga oku budaka, amubwira kooko. Oyu muntu aliiri Musamariya.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Yeesu ava aderha ntya: «K'arhali booshi ekumi baafumaga? Ngahe bandi mwenda bali?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ka ntaaye wakengereere kugaluka gukuuza Nnamahanga, kuleka oyu orhali Muyaahudi?»Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Yeesu aja amubwira ntya: «Yimanga ogende, obwemeezi bwawe bwaguchungwire.»Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20aBafarisaayo baabaza Yeesu ntya: «Mango machi oBwami bwa Nnamahanga nji bwayinja?» Yeesu abashubiza ntya: «oBwami bwa Nnamahanga burhayinja bwachitaragaza.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Abantu barhakaderha ntya: ‹Mulolage! oBwami bwa Nnamahanga buli hano!›, changwa: ‹Buli halira!› Bulaala, mumenyage bwinja, oBwami bwa Nnamahanga buli ahagarhi kenyu.»Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Yeesu ashuba kubwira abigirizwa baage ntya: «Agashanji kayinja nji mwachifiija kubona Mwene oMuntu chiro lusiku luguma, aliko nji murhamubona.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.

23«Abantu nji bababwira ntya: ‹Ali haliira!›, changwa: ‹Ali hano!› Murhalibirhiraga yo.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Nka kula omubaraganyo gubaraganya omu nkuba gurhengera omu luhande luguma guhika omu lwindi, ntyo ku Mwene oMuntu nj'aba omu olusiku lwage.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.

25Aliko embere Mwene oMuntu agaluke, bihemere alibuke bweneene analahirwe n'echi gisisi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26«Nk'oku byabaaga omu siku za Noowa, ku nji byaaba amango Mwene oMuntu nj'agaluka.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Abantu bagendaga baalya n'okunywa, bagendaga baashaba n'ogushabwa, kugera oku lusiku Noowa ajaaga omu nkuge. Leero emisuuka minene yahulula, yabazisya booshi.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.

28«Kandi nji byaaba kuguma n'esiku za Looti: abantu bagendaga baalya n'okunywa, bagendaga baagula n'okuguza, bagendaga bahinga n'okuyumbaka.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Sy'aliko olusiku Looti arhengaga eSodoomo, omuliro n'ebiseese byarhoga gurengera oku nkuba nka nvula, byayirha abantu booshi.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Kandi ntyo ku nji byaaba olusiku Mwene oMuntu nj'agaluka.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31«Olo lusiku, omuntu nji waaba ali oku nju elugulu, arhajaaga omu nju gurhoola ebintu byaage. N'ola muntu nji waaba ali omu shwa lyaage arhachigalukaga emwage.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.

32Muyibuke ebyahikiraga muka Looti!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Omuntu nji washonda kulanga akalamo kaage nj'agaheza; aliko omuntu nji washonda kugaheza nj'akalanga.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34«Mbabwirire, m'obo budufu, bantu babiri nji baaba balyaamire oku buliri buguma: muguma nj'aheekwa, owindi nj'alekwa.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Bakazi babiri nji baaba bali basyera haguma: muguma nj'aheekwa, owindi nj'alekwa. [Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Bantu babiri nji baaba bali omu shwa: muguma nj'aheekwa, owindi nj'alekwa.»]Not in the BSB

37Abigirizwa baabaza Yeesu ntya: «Nnaweerhu, ngahe ebyo nji byabeera?» Naye abashubiza ntya: «Ahali omurhumba, ho hagwirira banyunda.»“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
