Luke 17 (ZAJ) · Opened

1Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Mbuli ziwatendaga wanhu watende vilozo hazilekaga kulawilila, ila kojona ng'hani munhu ija yondayazitende zilawile!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Vihamnogele munhu ija yafungigwe msingo dibwe kulu da kusiginhila, abaho, yakasigwe m'bahali kubanza kumtenda imwe wa wanhu wano wadodo kuloza.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.

3Avo teganyeni! “Kamba ndugu yako yahaloza, mkomhokele, yahaleka kuloza, mgele kumgongo.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Kamba yahakutendela vilozo mianza saba mdizua dimwe, na mianza yose saba keza kumwako yolonga, ‘Nileka,’ mgele kumgongo.”Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Watumigwa wa Kilisto wamulongela Mndewa Yesu, “Tongezele nhamanila yetu.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Mndewa kawalongela, “Kamba muhawile na nhamanila ndodo kamba mbeyu ya haladali, muhadahile kuulongela mkuyu uno, ‘Ng'ozoka ukaihande m'bahali!’ Na uhawahulike.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“Tulonge munhu imwe mmwanza wenu kana nyakadala wa kumulimila ama kumchungila ng'hondolo. Yahabwela kulawa kumgunda, komulongela nyakadala wake yatende hima yeze kuja mandia?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’?

8Nokona si vivo! Ila komulongela, ‘Nhelekela mandia gangu hima, uisasale unisang'hanikile mbaka niheshiliza kuja na kung'wa, kileka na gweye uje mandia gako.’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’?

9Avo, komuheweza nyakadala ija avija viyagatendile gaja gayalagizwe?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Vivija na mweye! Muhatenda kila kinhu kimulongeligwe mkitende, longeni, ‘Tweye twa nyakadala tulibule maliho, tutenda gaja gatulondigwe kutenda tu.’ ”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Yesu viyakalile yochola Yelusalemu, kabitila muimbaka ya isi za Samalia na Galilaya.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Viyakalile yokwingila muna ikiwambo kimwe, wanhu longo dimwe wolumwa dikulu wamwizila, wema kutalitali,As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13wenula dizwi wolonga, “Mndewa, Yesu, utonele bazi!”and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Yesu viyawawene kawalongela, “Gendeni ha iwakulu wa nhambiko wakawalole goya.” Viwakalile wochola mnzila wahona.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Munhu imwe mmwanza wao viyonile kahona, kabwela, kenula dizwi yomuyenzi Mulungu.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Kamfugamila mavindi Yesu na kumgwaa hewela. Na munhu ija kakala Msamalia.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Ila Yesu kauza, “Hawakalile wanhu longo dimwe wahonyigwe? Wakwahi wayagwe tisa?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Haduhu hata munhu imwe yabwelile kumuheweza Mulungu ila muhenza ino yeiyeka?”Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Yesu kamulongela, “Ima wima uchole, nhamanila yako ikuhonya.”Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Mafalisayo wayagwe wamuuza Yesu, wolonga, “Zua dilihi Undewa wa Mulungu vondawize?” Heyo kawalongela, “Undewa wa Mulungu hawiza mkoneka na meso.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Haduhu munhu yondayalonge, ‘Loleni wa hano!’ Ama ‘Wa haja!’ Kwavija Undewa wa Mulungu wa mmwenu.”Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Abaho, kawalongela wanahina zake, “Kipigiti chokwiza vondamusulukile kona zua dondanibwele, nie, Mwana wa Munhu, ila hamujona.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.

23Na wanhu wowalongela, ‘Loleni kahaja!’ ama, ‘Loleni kahano!’ Ila sambimuwakweleleze.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Kamba vija lumwemwe vulumweka kulawa kuulanga na kumwemwesa kulawa ng'ambu ino mbaka ng'ambu ija, avo vivo vondaiwe mdizua dondanize, nie, Mwana wa Munhu.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.

25Ila tanhu nolondigwa nigaye ng'hani na kulemigwa na wanhu wa mulelo uno.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Kamba viikalile mkipigiti cha Nuhu vivo vondaiwe mdizua dondanibwele, nie, Mwana wa Munhu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Wanhu wose wakala woja na kung'wa, wosola na kusoligwa, mbaka zua dija Nuhu viyengile muisafina, na mvula ng'hulu ng'hani itoa na kumemeza mazi na kuwakoma wanhu wose.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.

28Yowa kamba viikalile kipigiti cha Loti. Wanhu wose wakala woja na kung'wa, wogula na kuguza, wohanda na kuzenga,It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29mbaka zua dija Loti viyasegele wambo da Sodoma, moto na baluti vihumuluka hasi kulawa kuulanga na kuwakoma wanhu wose.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Vino vivo vondaiwe mdizua dondanigubuligwe, nie, Mwana wa Munhu.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31“Mdizua dija munhu yali kukiswili cha ng'anda yake sambiyahumuluke hasi yengile mng'anda yakasole vinhu vake, na munhu yali kumgunda sambiyabwele ukae.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.

32Kumbukileni gam'vikile mtwanzi wa Loti!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Munhu yoyose yogeza kuukombola ugima wake, kowagiza, na munhu yoyose yowagiza ugima wake, koukombola.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Nowalongela, ikilo ija wanhu wabili wowasa mulusazi lumwe, imwe kosoligwa na imwe kolekigwa.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Watwanzi wabili wokomola ngano hamoja, imwe kosoligwa na imwe kolekigwa.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Wanhu wabili wolima mumgunda, imwe kosoligwa na imwe kolekigwa.”Not in the BSB

37Wanahina zake wamuuza, “Mndewa, kwahi?” Yesu kawalongela, “Hohose hauli mtufi, baho hondawaiting'hanile vimhungu.”“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
