Luke 17 (XNJ) · Opened

1Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Nakuhotola mambu ga kuvakita vandu vambudila Chapanga gakotoka kuhumila, nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweikita genago gahumila.”Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Ngayivii mbanga mundu mwenuyo, kukungiwa livala livaha la kuyagila musingu na kujwigiswa munyanja, kuliku kumyokisa mmonga wa vadebe ava.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.

3Mujiyangalila! Ngati mlongo waku akuhokili, mywangila, akakukamula chigendelu umulekesayi.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Hati ngati akuhokili mala saba kwa ligono limonga, na kukuwuyila mala saba. Kukukamula chigendelu, umulekesayi.Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Vamitumi vakamjovela Bambu Yesu, “Utiyonjakesa kusadika.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Ndi Bambu akayangula, “Kusadika kwinu ngakuvi kudebe ngati lumbeyu ulu lwa haladali, ngamuhotwili kuujovela mkongo wa mkuyu, ‘Jitupula na ukajimelesa munyanja.’ Na wene ngauvayidakili.”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“Tijova mmonga winu, ana mvanda wa lihengu kumgunda, amala kudima mambelele. Mvanda yula peiwuya kuhuma kulihengu, Wu, ijoviwa na mkulu waki, ‘Bwela kanyata utama ulyayi chakulya?’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’?

8Lepi! Nambu yati akumjovela, ‘Nitendelekela chakulya na kunihengela mbaka penimala kulya na kuywelela, ndi na veve pewilya na kunywelela.’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’?

9Wu, mkulu yula yati amsengusa mtumisi yula ndava akitili goha geamlagazili?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Na nyenye mewawa, mukahengayi kila chindu chemulagizwi kuhenga, mujovayi, ‘Tete vavanda tihengili lihengu litu ndu.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Yesu peavi mulugendu kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, akapitila mumbaka ya Samaliya na Galilaya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Peayingili muchijiji chimonga vandu kumi vevavi na mabudi vakambwelela. Vakayima cha patali.As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13Vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Yesu! Bambu! Utihengela lipyana!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Yesu peavaweni akavajovela, “Muhamba mukajilangisa kwa vakuteta va Chapanga.” Ndi pevavi mukuhamba vakanyamba.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Mmonga wavi peajimanyi kuvya alamiswi, awuyili kuni akumlumbalila Chapanga kwa lwami luvaha.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu na kumsengusa. Mundu mwenuyo avi Msamaliya.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Nambu Yesu akakota, “Wu, vavi lepi vandu kumi vevanyambisiwi? Vangi tisa vala vavi koki?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Hinu kawaka vandu vangi vevawuyi kumsengusa Chapanga ndi ngayuyu myehe?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Penapo akamjovela mundu mwenuyo, “Yima uhamba, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Vafalisayu vamkoti Yesu kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela ndali. Mwene akavayangula, “Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela lepi cha kulolekana.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Kawaka mundu mweihotola kujova, ‘Uvi kuni, amala uvi kula!’ Muni unkosi wa Chapanga uvi pagati yinu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Galabwela magono yati mwinogela kuliwona ligono limonga mumagono gaki Mwana wa Mundu, nambu yati nakuyiwona.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.

23Vandu yati vakuvajovela, ‘Lola, avi kula!’ Amala ‘Lola, avi kuni!’ Nambu nyenye mukoto kuwuka wala kuvalanda.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Muni yati yivya ngati mbamba cheyimwetula chigafula kuhumila upandi umonga mbaka wungi, ndi yati cheivya ligono la kubwela kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.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.

25Nambu yikumgana hoti, kung'ahika neju na kubelelewa na vandu va chiveleku ichi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Ngati chayavili lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi cheyibwela kuvya magono ga kuwuya kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugega na kugegewa mbaka Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha. Fula yivaha yatonyili na manji gakamema na kuvakoma vandu voha.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.

28Mewawa ngati cheyavili magono ga Lutu. Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugula na kugulisa, kuhila mbeyu na kujenga nyumba.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Nambu ligono Lutu paawukili ku Sodoma, motu na chibiliti vyatonyili ngati fula kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga na kuvakoma voha.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Mewawa ndi cheyivya ligono la Mwana wa Mundu peiwuya.”It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31“Ligono lenilo, mundu yoyoha mweivya kuvala ya nyumba akotoka kuyingila munyumba yaki kutola vindu vyaki, mewawa na yoyoha mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele.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.

32Muhololela gegamkolili mdala wa Lutu!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Mundu Yoyoha mweigana kuusangula wumi waki, yati auyagisa na mundu yoyoha mweakuyagisa wumi waki yati akuugombola.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Nikuvajovela kilu ya ligono lenilo, vandu vavili vevagonili pamonga palusongwani, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Kangi vadala vavili yati vivya pamonga mukuyaga mbeyu, mmonga yati itolewa na yungi yati ilekewa.”Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.Not in the BSB

37Penapo vakamkota, “Koki Bambu?” Mwene akavayangula, “Pewivya mtuhi, ndi pevikonganekela manditi.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
