Luke 17 (SBS) · Opened

1Jesu chati kuva lutwana bakwe, “kwina kusakusimwa mukuve ni zintu zete ziwole ku tuletala ku tenda chivi, kono kwina vumai koozo muntu kwete ni zize!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Ni kuvavi ni vutuka kwali haiva ivwe ikando nili vikwa kuzimbuluka insingo yakwe mi na va sohelwa mwi wate, kuhita kuti a letele zumwi kwava va nini kuti sanzi a sihwa inkulo.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.

3Mulitokomele muvene. haiva mukwako va chita chivi, mu kalimere, mi cha linyansa, mu wondere.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Hachita chivi kwako kusikahe yanza ni tovele mwizuva, ni yanza ni tovele na vola kwako, nati, 'na linyansa,' u swanela ku mu kumu wondera!”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Vaapositola va vati kwa Simwine, yekeze intumelo yetu.The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Simwine chati, kamba muvena intumelo uvu lutanga lwa masitete, ni mu vawambi izi kwi samu lye feiga, U nyukuke, mi ukavwalwe mwi wate,' mi nili vami kukuteki.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.

7Kono njeni kwenu, yo wina muhikana yolima kapa kilisa i mberere, yeta wambe kwali haka vola kuzwa kuluwa, 'wize kavu hweluhwelu mi zo wikale tulye'?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’?

8Keta wambe kwali, ni vakanyeze zakulya, mi mu sumine mambanti mi munihe kutwala china mana kulya nikunwa. linu kuzwa aho njete mulye 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’?

9Kalitumeli ku muhikana mukuti watenda ziva laitwe, utenda?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Ni hakuva vulyo iwe, hete chiwa wamana zonse zova laitwe, mu wamba, tu vahikana va sena intuso. Twa tenda vulyo ze zi tu telwe kuti tu tende.So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11kuva kezi kuva kuti ha ya kwa Jerusalema, ava hiti vulyo mwi nyinza ya Somaria ni Galilea.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Ha va ke njila mu kamwi kanzi, ava katanwa vakwe vena ikumi va lwala imbingwa, va va zimene vatavule nayeAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13chi va katula manzwii avo, nibati, “Jesu, Nfumwetu, tufwile insoni.and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Ha va vona, chati ku vali, “Mu kali vona haze ku Muprista.” kuvezi kuva kuti hava yenda, chi va jolozwa.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15zumi kuvali havona kuti cha hozwa, cha vola li nzwi linyemukite na temba Ireeza.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Cha kuvama hamatende a Jesu, nali tumela kwali, avali Musamaria.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Mi che tava, Jesu chati, “Kana vena ikumi va va jolozwa? Vena Iyanza ni vone vena kuhi?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Ka kwina vamwi va vola kwiza kutemba Ireeza. Kunde yo zu muzwakule?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Cha wamba kwali, zime, mi uyende. Intumelo yako ya kuhoza.Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Cha vuzwa Vafalisi muvuso wa Ireeza ukeza lili, Jesu cha veta mi chati, “Muvuso wa Ireeza kaukezi ni mu uli tekele.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Kau woli kuwambiwa kuti, 'Lole kunu!' kapa, 'Lole kuna!', Muvone, Muvuso wa Ireeza wina mwenu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Cha wamba ku valutwana, Mazuva a keza heti ni mutavele kuvona izuva lyonke ku mazuva a Mwana mutu, kono kete mu avone.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.

23Linu kava wambe kwenu, 'Muvone, kuna! Muvone, kunu!' Kono sanzi muyi hanze kapa kuve chilila,People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24imi mumuni kauvenya kwimwi imbali ye wulu ku twala ku yimwi imbali ye wulu, mukuve bulyo ni ku Mwana Muntu mwi zuva lyakwe.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 che ntazi uswanela ku sukuluka mu zintu zingi ni ku kanwa kolu lusika.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Sina mu ku vatenda halili ku ma zuva a Nuwe, mwete ni ku tendahalele mu mazuva a Mwana muntu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Va valyi, va vanwi, va vasesi, ni kusesisa, kutwala Nuwe he njila mwa Areka - mi chikweza munda mukando ni kwiza kuveha vonse.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.

28Sina vulyo mukuvapanga halili ku mazuva a lota, va valyi, kunwa, ku ula, ku wuza, ku vwala, ni ku zaka.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Kono izuva lya zwa lota mwa Sodoma, mulilo uva soki ni silufula kwi wulu mi va ve haiwa vonse.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30kuzwa ku mukwa uswana kuve vulyo ni mwi zuva lyete a voneke Mwana muntu.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Mwe lyo izuva, wina he wulu lye nzovo sanzi ashetumukeli mwate ku kahinda chifumu chakwe. Mi yo wina muluwa sanzi avoli.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.

32Muhupule mwihavwe wa lota.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Yense yo saka kuwana buhalo vwakwe mwa vu sinyehelwe. Kono yonse yo sinyehelwa vuhalo vwakwe ka vu vusilele.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Nimi wambila, mwawo masiku, mukuve ni bantu vovele hamumbeta wu mwina. Umwina ka hindwe, mi umwina ka shale.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Ka kuve ni vakulwakazi vo vele vete va kutwa hamwina. Umwina mwa hindwe, mi umwina mwa shale.”Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Vo vele muluwa, umwina mwa hindwe, mi umwina mwa shale.Not in the BSB

37Chiva muvuza, “Kuhi, Simwine? Mi chati kuvali, “Kwina muvili, njoko makuvi nao kwete aka kunganele.“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
