Luka 17
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Kisha, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Haiwezekani kabisa kusitokee vikwazo vinavyosababisha dhambi; lakini ole wake mtu yule atakayevisababisha.
1And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.
2Ingekuwa afadhali kwake kufungiwa shingoni jiwe kubwa la kusagia na kutoswa baharini, kuliko kumkwaza mmoja wa wadogo hawa.
2It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
3Jihadharini! Kama ndugu yako akikukosea, mwonye; akitubu, msamehe.
3Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
4Na kama akikukosea mara saba kwa siku, na kila mara akarudi kwako akisema Nimetubu, lazima umsamehe.”
4And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him.
5Mitume wakamwambia Bwana, “Utuongezee imani.”
5And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
6Naye Bwana akajibu, “Kama imani yenu ingekuwa ndogo hata kama chembe ndogo ya haradali, mngeweza kuuambia mti huu wa mkuyu: Ng'oka ukajipandikize baharini, nao ungewatii.
6And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.
7“Tuseme mmoja wenu ana mtumishi ambaye analima shambani au anachunga kondoo. Je, anaporudi kutoka shambani, atamwambia: Haraka, njoo ule chakula?
7But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:
8La! Atamwambia: Nitayarishie chakula, ujifunge tayari kunitumikia mpaka nitakapomaliza kula na kunywa, ndipo nawe ule na unywe.
8And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?
9Je utamshukuru huyo mtumishi kwa sababu ametimiza aliyoamriwa?
9Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?
10Hali kadhalika na ninyi mkisha fanya yote mliyoamriwa, semeni: Sisi ni watumishi tusio na faida, tumetimiza tu yale tuliyotakiwa kufanya.”
10I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
11Yesu akiwa safarini kwenda Yerusalemu alipitia mipakani mwa Samaria na Galilaya.
11And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12Alipokuwa anaingia katika kijiji kimoja, watu kumi wenye ukoma walikutana naye, wakasimama kwa mbali.
12And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;
13Wakapaza sauti wakisema, “Yesu Mwalimu, tuonee huruma!”
13And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.
14Alipowaona akawaambia, “Nendeni mkajionyeshe kwa makuhani.” Basi, ikawa walipokuwa wanakwenda, wakatakasika.
14Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
15Mmoja wao alipoona kwamba ameponywa alirudi akimtukuza Mungu kwa sauti kubwa.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
16Akajitupa chini mbele ya miguu ya Yesu huku akimshukuru. Huyo alikuwa Msamaria.
16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
17Hapo Yesu akasema, “Je, si watu kumi walitakaswa? Wale tisa wako wapi?
17And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?
18Hakupatikana mwingine aliyerudi kumtukuza Mungu ila tu huyu mgeni?”
18There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
19Halafu akamwambia huyo mtu, “Simama, uende zako; imani yako imekuponya.”
19And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
20Wakati mmoja, Mafarisayo walimwuliza Yesu, “Ufalme wa Mungu utakuja lini?” Naye akawajibu, “Ufalme wa Mungu hauji kwa namna itakayoweza kuonekana.
20And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Wala hakuna atakayeweza kusema, Uko hapa, au Uko pale. Kwa kweli Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu.”
21Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
22Halafu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Siku zinakuja ambapo mtatamani kuona mojawapo ya siku za Mwana wa Mtu, lakini hamtaiona.
22And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.
23Na watu watawaambieni: Tazameni yuko hapa; ninyi msitoke wala msiwafuate.
23And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:
24Kwa maana kama vile umeme unavyotokea ghafla na kuangaza anga upande mmoja hadi mwingine, ndivyo Mwana wa Mtu atakavyokuwa siku yake.
24For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25Lakini kabla ya hayo, itambidi ateseke sana na kukataliwa na kizazi hiki.
25But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26Kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika siku za Mwana wa Mtu.
26And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kuoa na kuolewa mpaka wakati ule Noa alipoingia katika safina. Gharika ikatokea na kuwaangamiza wote.
27They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Itakuwa kama ilivyotokea wakati wa Loti. Watu waliendelea kula na kunywa, kununua na kuuza, kupanda mbegu na kujenga.
28Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
29Lakini siku ile Loti alipoondoka Sodoma, moto na kiberiti vikanyesha kama mvua kutoka mbinguni na kuwaangamiza wote.
29And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Ndivyo itakavyokuwa siku ile Mwana wa Mtu atakapofunuliwa.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31“Siku hiyo, yeyote atakayekuwa juu ya paa asishuke nyumbani kuchukua mali yake. Kadhalika, naye atakayekuwa shambani asirudi nyuma.
31In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.
32Kumbukeni yaliyompata mke wa Loti.
32Remember Lot’s wife.
33Yeyote anayetaka kuiokoa nafsi yake, ataipoteza; na yeyote anayeipoteza, ataiokoa.
33Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34Nawaambieni, siku ile usiku watu wawili watakuwa wanalala pamoja, mmoja atachukuliwa na yule mwingine ataachwa.
34I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35Wanawake wawili watakuwa wakisaga nafaka pamoja; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.”
35Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft.
36Watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.
36They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?
37Hapo wakamwuliza, “Ni wapi Bwana?” Naye akawaambia, “Ulipo mzoga, ndipo tai watakapokusanyikia.”
37Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
