Luka 10
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
10 Baada ya hayo, Yesu akawachagua wafuasi wengine sabini na wawili akawatuma wawili wawili katika kila mji na kila sehemu aliyokusudia kwenda. 2 Akawaambia, “Mavuno ni mengi lakini wafanya kazi ni wachache, kwa hiyo mwombeni Bwana wa mavuno awapeleke wavunaji zaidi katika shamba lake. 3 Haya, nendeni. Ninawatuma kama kondoo kati ya mbwa mwitu. 4 Msichukue mkoba wala mfuko, wala viatu; na msipoteze muda kumsalimu mtu ye yote njiani. 5 Mkiingia nyumba yo yote kwanza semeni, ‘Amani iwe kwenu.’ 6 Kama aishiye humo ni mwenye kupenda amani basi baraka hiyo itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudia. 7 Kaeni katika nyumba hiyo mkila na kunywa kile watakachowapa kwa sababu kila mfany akazi anastahili kulipwa mshahara. Msihamehame kutoka nyumba hadi nyumba. 8 Mkienda katika mji mkapokelewa: kuleni mtakachoandal iwa; 9 waponyeni wagonjwa na waambieni: ‘Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yenu.’
10 “Lakini mkiingia katika mji msikaribishwe, nendeni katika mitaa yake mkaseme: 11 ‘Hata mavumbi ya mji wenu yaliyoko miguuni mwetu tunayakung’uta juu yenu; lakini fahamuni ya kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekuja karibu yenu!’ 12 “Nawahakikishia kwamba siku ile Mungu atakapouhukumu ulimwengu adhabu ya Sodoma itakuwa nafuu kuliko ya mji huo! 13 Ole wenu watu wa Korazini na wa Bethsaida! Kwa maana kama miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifany ika Tiro na Sidoni watu wa huko wangalitubu zamani, wakivaa magu nia na kujimwagia majivu kama dalili ya majuto. 14 Lakini siku ile ya hukumu itakuwa nafuu kwa Tiro na Sidoni kuliko kwenu. 15 Na ninyi je, watu wa Kapernaumu, mnafikiri mtainuliwa juu hadi mbinguni? La, Mungu atawatupa chini hadi kuzimuni. 16 “Ye yote atakayewasikiliza ninyi amenisikiliza mimi, naye awakataaye amenikataa. Lakini anikataaye mimi amemkataa yeye aliyenituma.”
17 Wale wanafunzi sabini na wawili wakarudi wakiwa na furaha. Wakamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, tukilitumia jina lako, hata pepo wanatutii!” 18 Akawajibu, “Nimemwona shetani akianguka kama radi kutoka mbinguni. 19 Nimewapa mamlaka ya kukanyaga nyoka na nge na kushinda nguvu zote za yule adui; wala hakuna kitu cho chote kitakachoweza kuwadhuru. 20 Lakini msifurahi kwa kuwa pepo wanawatii, ila furahini kwa kuwa majina yenu yamean dikwa mbinguni.”
21 Wakati huo, Yesu akiwa amejawa na furaha ya Roho Mtaka tifu, akasema, “Ninakushukuru Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na nchi, kwa sababu mambo haya ambayo umewaficha wenye elimu na wenye hekima umependa kuwafunulia wale wakuaminio kama watoto wadogo. Na haya yote yamefanyika kwa mapenzi yako Baba. 22 Baba yangu amenika bidhi mambo yote. Hakuna anayemfahamu Mwana isipokuwa Baba: na hakuna anayemfahamu Baba isipokuwa Mwana na wale ambao Mwana ame penda humdhihirisha Baba kwao.” 23 Basi Yesu akawageukia wana funzi wake akawaambia faraghani, “Mmebarikiwa kuona mambo haya mnayoyaona! 24 Nawaambie ni kweli, manabii wengi na wafalme wal itamani kuona mnayoyaona na kusikia mnayoyasikia lakini hawaku pata nafasi hiyo.” Mfano Wa Msamaria Mwema
25 Mwalimu mmoja wa sheria alisimama akajaribu kumpima Yesu, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu, nifanye nini ili nipate uzima wa milele?” 26 Yesu akamjibu, “Sheria inasemaje? Unaitafsiri vipi?” 27 Yule mwalimu wa sheria akajibu, “Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa nafsi yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote na kwa akili zako zote. Na umpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwe nyewe.” 28 Yesu akamwambia, “Jibu lako ni sahihi. Fanya hivyo nawe utaishi.” 29 Lakini yule mwalimu wa sheria akitaka kuon yesha kwamba hoja yake ilikuwa na maana zaidi, akamwuliza Yesu, “Na jirani yangu ni nani?”
30 Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu mmoja aliteremka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Yeriko. Njiani akashambuliwa na majambazi; wakamwibia kila kitu alichokuwa nacho, wakampiga wakamwacha karibu ya kufa. 31 litokea kwamba kuhani mmoja alikuwa anapitia njia ile. Ali pomwona huyo mtu, akapita upande mwingine wa barabara akamwacha hapo hapo. 32 Vivyo hivyo Mlawi mmoja naye alipopita, alimwona, akapita upande mwingine wa barabara akamwacha hapo hapo.
33 “Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa akisafiri kupitia njia hiyo alipomkuta, alimwonea huruma, 34 akamwendea akasafisha maj eraha yake kwa divai na mafuta, akayafunga. Kisha akamweka kwenye punda wake akaenda naye mpaka nyumba ya wageni ambapo alimtunza. 35 Kesho yake, yule Msamaria alipokuwa anaondoka, akampa mwenye nyumba ya wageni fedha akamwomba amtunze yule mgonjwa na akaahidi kulipa gharama yo yote ya ziada atakaporudi.
36 “Unadhani ni yupi kati ya hawa watatu alikuwa jirani yake yule mtu aliyeshambuliwa na majambazi?”
37 Yule mwalimu wa sheria akajibu, “Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma.” Yesu akasema, “Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.”
Yesu Awatembelea Martha na Mariamu
38 Wakati Yesu na Wanafunzi wake walipokuwa wakiendelea na safari yao ya kwenda Yerusalemu, walifika katika kijiji kimoja ambapo mwanamke mmoja aliyeitwa Martha alimkaribisha Yesu nyum bani kwake. 39 Martha alikuwa na mdogo wake aliyeitwa Mariamu ambaye aliketi chini karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.
40 Lakini Martha alikuwa akihangaika na maandalizi yote. Kwa hiyo alikuja kwa Yesu akalalamika, “Bwana, hujali kwamba mdogo wangu ameniachia kazi zote? Mwambie aje anisaidie!” 41 Bwana akamjibu, “Martha! Martha! Mbona unasumbuka na kuhangaika na mengi? 42 Unahitaji kujua kitu kimoja tu. Mariamu amechagua kil icho bora, na hakuna mtu atakayemnyang’anya.” Yesu Awafundisha Wanafunzi Wake Kuomba
Luke 10
King James Version
10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10
New King James Version
The Seventy Sent Out
10 After these things the Lord appointed [a]seventy others also, and (A)sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, (B)“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore (C)pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; (D)behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 (E)Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and (F)greet no one along the road. 5 (G)But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 (H)And remain in the same house, (I)eating and drinking such things as they give, for (J)the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 (K)And heal the sick there, and say to them, (L)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 (M)‘The very dust of your city which clings to [b]us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ 12 [c]But I say to you that (N)it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
Woe to the Impenitent Cities(O)
13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! (Q)For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 (R)And you, Capernaum, [d]who are (S)exalted to heaven, (T)will be brought down to Hades. 16 (U)He who hears you hears Me, (V)he who rejects you rejects Me, and (W)he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
The Seventy Return with Joy
17 Then (X)the [e]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
18 And He said to them, (Y)“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, (Z)I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but [f]rather rejoice because (AA)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit(AB)
21 (AC)In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 (AD)All[g] things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and (AE)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, (AF)“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24 for I tell you (AG)that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AH)
25 And behold, a certain [h]lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, (AI)“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, (AJ)“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and (AK)‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and (AL)you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to (AM)justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among [i]thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, (AN)he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain (AO)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had (AP)compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, [j]when he departed, he took out two (AQ)denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, (AR)“Go and do likewise.”
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named (AS)Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, (AT)who also (AU)sat at [k]Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
41 And [l]Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But (AV)one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
