Matthew 10 (IYX)

1Yiisu ateeri miyii mia nde kuumi na mioolo mbili na wabaheri lituu la ubingi miheebili mimibi, na ubeelese bibeeri bioosi, na bipii bioosi.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.

2Makuumbu ma batumu kuumi na boolo ni maa-na-ma: watsiomi Simooni, wu bali mu uta Peetero, na mukee a nde Andere; Yaki na mukee a nde Yowani, bo baboolo baana ba Zebedaayi;These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Filipe na Baritelemi; Toma na Mataayi mutoli a limaanda; Yaki mwaana a Alife na Tade,Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simooni muzelote na Yuuda Isikarioti, wuu wayeelili Yiisu.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Yiisu atsindii babaala kuumi na boolo ba mu isala, nde wabaheeri tumini yi: «A diyene pe mu bitinini bia baata babali a Bayuudayo pe, na a dikoto pe mu ngaanda so mosi ya mu itinini kia Samaria.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.

6Ka diyene ndila ku yili mameme mamadiimbili ma mu mukaanga a Iseraeli.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Mu kuulu, diyiisi na dileele ndaa yi: “Ipfumu kia mayula ika bebele!”As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Dibeelese babeeri, disiimbili babakwa, ditsieemese bangaa bwaari, dibingi miheebili mimibi. Beni diabaa mu ibuu, haanani ka mu ibuu.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9A diholo so woolo, so mboongo, so mikuti mi beni dilooso mu mibanda mia beni pe.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Bu diyene mu midieenge, a dibiti pe so kutu, so bikutu bioolo, so bikoori, so mupaanga. Mundaa musiali afwaana ubaa bia udia mu isala kia nde.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11«Bu dikoto mu ngaanda so mu bula, disaa muutu wayilimi mu uyaka beni, na didiaala kwaa muutu wuu, natee bu beni dimatuu nha mbuu yii.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Mu taanga di beni dikoti mu nzo a muutu wuu, dileele: “Iyeenge kwaa beni.”As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Mbiiti baata ba nzo yii bayaki beni, nyaala iyeenge ki beni diloombi iba nha yulu a bo. Ka so bo a bayaki beni pe, nyaala iyeenge ki beni dialoombo mu bo ivutuu kwaa beni bameme.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Mbiiti mu nzo mosi so mu ngaanda mosi, babisi uyaka so uyuu beni, dipala mu yo, na dikubulu lifuundu la bitaambi bia beni.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Ngwanya me nadileeli: mu iluumbu kia pfuundisi a tsi, sa basieembe baata ba ngaanda yii mu iteesi kiavulu tsieembili ya baata ba ku ngaanda a Sodomo na ku Ngomoro.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16«Diyuu! Me nitsinduu beni weti mameme nha kati a miminzi. Ka diba na buyeri weti bataari, na diba babahele na toono weti mabeembe.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Disa mayele, mundaa ti baata sa babiti beni ku manzo ma pfuundisi, na sa batete beni bikoti mu manzo ma makutunu ma Bayuudayo.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Sa badibiti mu uyala mitata nha kulu a batumi ba bitinini na nha kulu a mitini mu toono a me, paa beni dita imbaangi mu me kwaa bo, na kwaa bangooyi.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Mu taanga di bubiti beni ku nzo a pfuundisi, a diba na tsoongo pe mu mi beni dikaaleele so mu mutindi wu beni dikaatsuu. Mundaa ti Nziaambi sa aha beni mandaa mafwaana mu taanga dii.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.

20Mo a mumata kwaa beni pe, ka Muheebili a Taayi a beni sa atsuu mu beni.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21Baana ba nguu sa bayeelele baana ba nguu ba bo ku likwa, na bataayi ka sa bayiluu bumosi kwaa baana ba bo; baana sa bakiinguu mu udwaanisa bataayi na banguu, na uyeelele bo ku tsieembili ya likwa.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Baata boosi sa babele beni mu toono a me. Ka wu uhama natee manini sa ayobuu.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Mu taanga di bukwaamisa beni mutso ngaanda mosi, dibata ku ngaanda kimi. Ngwanya me nadileeli, beni a dimana pe udieengele mangaanda moosi ma mu Iseraeli tswaamini Mwaana a muutu uyira.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«A uli na muyii so mosi pe wavulu muyiisi a nde; a uli na musiali so mosi pe wavulu pfumu a nde.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Yakuu kwaa muyii mu uto mu iteesi kili muyiisi a nde, na kwaa musiali mu uto mu iteesi kili pfumu a nde. Mbiiti batuyi mukuutu a kaanda Belezebuli, binama bia kaanda la nde sa batuu bo kwavulu mifuri.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«Ninha a diba na boomo ba muutu pe. Mioosi miasweeme sa mimonuu, na mioosi mia tsweeyi sa miyabina.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.

27Mi nileele me beni kutso pimisi, dileele mio nha liyalila; na mi buleele beni mu mapfuundu nha litswi, dibiisili mio ku yulu a masiaangi.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28A dibata pe ba budusu nyutu, ka bo ukoono udusu muwuumu, ka dibatila Nziaambi boomo wu utuu ufuusu mbala mosi nyutu na muwuumu ku mbaa ya ku mbuungulu.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.

29A bali mu uyaalu pe masiee moolo mu mukuti mosi? Bunu a so limosi pe mu mo, lituu ubwa nha tsi, kwahele a ti Taayi a beni ayaaba.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.

30Ka kwaa beni, so naanga dia beni dioosi dia mutswe bataanga dio.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Ni mu buu a diba na boomo pe: beni diavulu masiee malaa ndutu!So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32«Pasi nde wu usiingi nha kulu a baata ti nde li muyii a me, me ka sa namusiingi nha kulu a Taayi a me wuli mu mayula ti nde wa me ali.Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33Ka so muutu tuni me nha kulu a baata, me ka sa namutunu nha kulu a Taayi a me, wuli mu mayula.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34«A ditsimi pe ti me nayiri mu ubee iyeenge nha tsini a toto: me a nayiri pe mu ubee iyeenge, ka mudiingi.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35Me nayiri mu ukabala mwaana wa baala na taayi a nde, mwaana wa mukaasa na nguu a nde, mukari a mwaana na buko ba nde wa mukaasa.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.

36Mitaata mia muutu sa miba ni binama bia kaanda la nde makulu.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37Pasi nde wu uvulu utoono taayi a nde, so a buu pe nguu a nde, kwavulu me utoono, nde a afwaana pe mu uba wa me. Pasi nde wu uvulu utoono mwaana a nde wa baala, so a buu pe wa mukaasa, kwavulu me utoono, nde a afwaana pe mu uba wa me.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;

38Pasi nde wu uhele unaangila kuruwa a nde na uduku me ku mbisi, nde a afwaana pe mu uba wa me.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Wu utoono uvuusu idiingi kia nde sa afuusu kio; ka wu ufuusu idiingi kia nde mu ndaa a me, sa avuusu kio.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40«Pasi nde wu uyaka beni, yaki me; pasi nde wu uyaka me, nde yaki wuu watsinduu me.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Wu uyaka mubili a Nziaambi, mundaa bu ali mubili, nde sa aholo musieende wu bataasila kwaa mubili; na wu uyaka muutu wakangama mu Nziaambi mundaa bu nde ali akangama mu Nziaambi, nde sa aholo musieende wu bataasila kwaa muutu wakangama mu Nziaambi.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.

42Mu ngwanya, me na dileeli: muutu wu uha so ndila mbasa a maamba ma kioori, kwaa mosi wavulu mu bungebe nha kati a miyii mia me, mundaa bu ali muyii a me, sa aholo musieende a nde.»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.”
