Luke 17 (MGH2016)

1Yesu nkaahimiachera owiittucha awe wiira, “Chittu chinaahelha attu mu uwonyani lazima chikhumelhelhe, nansho hothapana ntu naawonyiha attu akina!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Ikaari mbaya yoyo ntu uyo akaattukelhelhiye nshilho nshikoni ni urihelhiya ubaharini kuliko ummwonyiha mmoka aya alha ashinkani alha.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.

3Paahi etu mwiichinanelheke! “Nhima inyu awonyaka, munchachereke, akhoromaka munlhevelhelheke.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Ottekelhakani imara saba wo nihuku nimoka, ni kila ikatema awaaka ni wiira, ‘kihokhoroma,’ munlhevelhelheke.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Akarumiya nkayeerelha Athithi, “Nnuncherereke nrima.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Athithi nkayaakhulha, “Mwakaari ni nrima wo upisha inakhalhaka mwankani thoko imbeyu yo iharadali, mwaneerelha ulha mwiri wo nkhuyu ulha, ‘Mwiikhulhe mwaanene mweephateelhe ubaharini!’ ni uyo waanowiiwani.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“Niire wiira mmoka inyu hanaa karumiya nonlhimelha ama noshunga ikhondoro chawe. Chani vanohokolhia awe umatani, noomwiirelha, waakuvieke, ukhalheke, ulhieke yolhia?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’?

8Mena! Nomwiirelha, ‘Ukiterekhelhe yolhia mii thoko, mwiichesheke rata ni ukitumikelha mii vanolhia aka ni uwuria vawo, wamalhaka uterekheke yawao.’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’?

9Chani aterekhaka nonttuna yoyo karumiya uyo wo ntheko ulheheriye awe?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Ni inyu mwaatti chiicho, mwapangaka ntheko ulheheriye inyu, mwiireke, ‘Hii niri akarumiya o uhikhulhuvelhiya, nihopanga tu thoko chilheeheriye ihu.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Yesu vaarwaa awe Uyerusalemu, ahovira mmwiinanoni mwo Usamariya ni Ugalilaya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Vaaphiya awe iwani imoka, nkaakumaana attu khumi o makutulha eemenlhe utayiAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13akhuwelhachaka, “Yesu! Thithi! Nnoonelhe ikiriri!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Yesu vonne awe nkeera, “Nrweeke mweechooniheke wa opochera ishaani.” Vaari aya mphironi arwaachaka, nkayaalhamacha.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Mmoka vonne awe wiira holhama, nkaahokolhia, anthimichaka Nlhuku wo nlhove nulhupalhe.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Nkeewulhusha vathi oopuruwaka vamietoni va Yesu ni unshukuru. Yoyo ntu uyo aari Nsamariya.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Yesu nkeera, “Yaari attu khumi alhamihiye, akina tisa ayo ari vayi etu?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Chani woonaka ulha nlheto ulha vekha awe phi wilhe unthimichani Nlhuku?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Paahi Yesu nkaamwirelha ntu uyo, “Munkweke nrweeke, nrima inyu uhoolhamihani.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Amafarisayo akina nkayankoha Yesu Imwene ya Nlhuku inohalha uwa iyaakhani. Aakhunlhe eeraka, “Imwene ya Nlhuku khinowa thoko chinaanyihera inyu.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Khaawo ntu nohalha wiira, ‘Alha va!’ Ama wiira, ‘Irii valhe!’, ukhalhawaya Imwene ya Nlhuku iri nhina mwinyu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Paahi nkaahimeria owiittucha awe, “Ikatema inoowa vanohalha inyu wunlhelha woona ikatema yo Mwaana a Ntu, nansho nhoonaka.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.

23Ahawo anohalha uwa uwiirelhani, ‘Nkoonani, rii valhe!’ Ama ‘Nkoonani rii vaa!’ Nansho mwaatti nhirwee ummwehani.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Ukhalhawaya thoko chineera aya wo uverunya uno ni uno wiirimu, phi chiichammo Mwaana a Ntu chinohalha awe wiira nenno nihuku nno.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.

25nansho ahinaya yayo mahuku ayo, hophwanelhiya uhuva chinene ni ukhotiya ni attu o ilha iyari ilha.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Thoko chaari aya ikatema ya Anuhu, phi nohalha aya ukhalha nihuku no Mwaana a Ntu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Attu yaari alhiaka ni uwuria, athelhaka ni uthelhiya, mpaka nihuku Anuhu vaawelha aya isafina. Igarika nkayaawa nkayeevakacha attu onkhaye.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.

28Inottuna ukhalha thoko mahuku a Nalutu. Attu yaari alhiaka awuriaka, athumihaka ni uthuma aalhaka imbeyu ni utheka manupa.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Nihuku Nalutu vaathama aya Usodoma, malhuku o mooro nkaarupa thoko ipulha ukhuma wiirimu ni weevakacha attu onkhaye.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Phi nohalha aya ukhalha nihuku Mwaana a Ntu vanohalha awe upatakulhiya.”It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31“Nenno nihuku nno, ntu riyoothe nohalha uphwanyiya vanchaarani hikhuruwe vathi uwa ukusha nhakhu awe, chiicho ntu riyoothe nohalha uphwanyiya utimani hihokolhie uwani.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.

32Moopuwelheke ahanu a Nalutu!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Ntu nothanana woopolha ukumi awe noopoteriha, ntu nokumiha ukumi awe nowa woopolha.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Yoyo uhiyu uyo, Kinouhimeriani wiira, attu elhi anowa urupa vamoka, mmoka nowa ukushiya, nkina ahiiyaka utulhi.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Manyopani elhi anowa ushilha meelhe vamoka, amoka anowa ukushiya akina ahiiyaka utulhi.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Attu elhi anowa ulhima mmatani vamoka, amoka anowa ukushiya akina ahiiyaka.”Not in the BSB

37Owiittucha nkayankoha Yesu, “Thithi, vayi wowo?” Yesu nkaakhulha, “Vakittu variwoothe vari ntembo, phi vakittu vanothukumanacha marepo.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
