Luke 17 (LYN) · Opened

1Jesu sebeli wamba kwa iyetwa aye nji emiliko ku kutenda esibi mu niti ikeeyile, kono oumai ni kwa woyo ikeyele!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Nikwa kuwaba kambe kame sa nungelelwe eliwee linene mu ndingo yaye niku muyumbela mu liwate, okubita nji asaitete anyonyo okutenda esibi.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.

3Cwale mu kumamele mukaci kenu, nji omwabowe kame atenda esibi omukalimele, mi nji na baka omulemene.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Cwale nji kame ana kufoseze katanu ni twiili mu liywaa limweya, mi ni kwaliketa kwa wene katanu ni twiili ni kwamba nji, ‘Nabaka kale,’ kame ofanena oku mulemena.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Atumiwa sebeli aamba kwa Mbumu nji, “Otwekeleze ku tumelo yetu.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Cwale Ombumu sebeli wamba nji, “Kambe kame mukwite etumelo no okufeka kanyi oubeke no mbuto no masitete, kambe kame mutwesa okwambela esitondo no molobeni nji okutule mi okakunwe mu liwate, mi mbasi mikuteke.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.

7Anyine mukaci kenu woyo okwite omubika olima simba okubabalela omukoko, so amba kwa yonyene aba atunda mu litema nji, ‘Oiye muwangu kuno tulye ba tafule?’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’?

8Katamba kwamba kwa yonyene nji, ‘Oni lukisete omulalelo, okuyumene mi oni sebeleze, konji aba sa nilyele ni kunwa mi munyima bosolye ni kunwa.’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’?

9Kana mba kutumele ku mubika ba kutenda eso anambeliwa?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Naanyi yongeso nji aba mutenda yonje mu nalaelwa, mwambe nji, ‘Tuli abika awo no kwafanena, kame tuna tende eyo tufanena okuteda.’”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Jesu abana kuta ku Jelusalema, sebeli weenda mu museto mukaci no Samaliya ni Galileya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Cwale abana kwingena mu mundi, sebeli okwangana ni aanu no kukwana likumi asikutoma embingwa, aimanine kule,As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13cwale sebeli akuweleza ni kwamba nji, “Jesu, Molyetu! Otufele amakeke!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Cwale aba ana kwamona sebeli waambela nji, “Mute muka kumonahaze kwa pulisita aka mitatube.” Ba ndila alemine okuta, sebeli abala.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Cwale mumweya kwa onyene aba ana kumona nji nabala, sebeli ouka ni kulumbeka Nyambe ni liywi linene.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Cwale sebeli okwela banji ni lubala ku makondo a Jesu nuukutumela. Omulume woyo neli Musamaliya.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba nji, “Kasa likumi awo ana balisiwa? Kanti kubine ali awo akwana atanu nanee?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ngasibine kasiuka nji alumbeke Nyambe konji wuyu osi mushobo mundina?Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Cwale sebeli omwambela nji, “Oimane okutele etumelo yowe nai kuyoyisa.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Afalisi aba ana ku mwibanguta nji omubuso na kuwilu kamwaka sawiye. Sebeli waatambula nji, “Omubuso wa Nyambe kautamba kwiiya ni imoniso.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Kautamba kwambiwa nji, ‘Komumone, kuno kwauli, simba nji, Uya baya, kakuli omubuso wa Nyambe kame uli mukaci kenu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Jesu sebeli wamba kwa iyetwa aye nji, “Amaywaa akeyile abo samushukele okumona limweya eliywaa no Mwana no Munu, kono kamutamba kulimona.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.

23Mi kame saambe kwanyi nji, ‘Komumone uno kuno, simba nji, ‘Komumone, uya kuya! Mulese kuta simba okwakon̄a.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Kanyi olumonyi aba lumonyeka ni kutumbuka mu liwilu ku maneku ayiili, mwasa kukaikalele mu liywaa no Mwana no Munu.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.

25Kono ayande oweli kwiinu no kupula mane ni kukaniwa ni lusika olu.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Kanyi mu maywaa a Nuwe mwasa kuka ikalele ni mu liywaa no Mwana no munu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Kame ana kulya, ni kunwa, ni kukwata, ni kukwalisa konji mane ba liywaa elyo Nuwe aba ana kwingena mu wato no aleka, mi ameyi no kupula sebeli aiya ni kwayundisa onje.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.

28Kanyi kame omo kuna kwikalela mu maywaa a Lota, kame ana kulya, ni kunwa, kame ana kuulanga ni kuulisa, kame ana kukunanga ni kuyaka.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29kono ba liywaa ana kutunda Lota mu sondoma omulilo ni silufula sebeli iloka ku wilu ni kwaibaa onje.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Cwale mwasa kukaikalele ni mu liywaa no Mwana no munu aba sa monahale.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Ba liywaa elyo woyo oli ba situwa no ndoo, ni ibyana yaye mu ndoo alese kutuluka nji aishimbe, mi kame ni woyo oli mu litema alese okuuka ku mundi.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.

32Mupuluke mukataye Lota.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Woyo yonje okununeka omooyo waye mba utaukelwe, kono woyo otaukelwa omooyo waye mba yoyisiwa.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Kame ni myambela nji mu usiku owo kame sakwikale ayiili ba mumbeta, mumweya mba shimbiwa omunjili mba siiwa.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Akati ayiili satwe mu sinu simweya, mumweya mba shimbiwa omunjili mba siiwaTwo women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Alume ayiili awo sa ikale mu litema, omunjili mba shimbiwa munjili mba siiwa.Not in the BSB

37Cwale sebeli aamba kwa yonyene nji, “Mbumu, kubine oko?” Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Oko kuli olutu ni manon̄u kwa sa kaungane bamweya.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
