¹After 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.

¹Baada ya hayo, Bwana aliwachagua wengine sabini na wawili, akawatuma wawiliwawili, wamtangulie katika kila kijiji na mahali ambapo yeye mwenyewe alitaka kwenda.

²Therefore 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.

²Akawaambia, "Mavuno ni mengi, lakini wavunaji ni wachache. Kwa hivyo, mwombeni mwenye shamba atume wavunaji shambani mwake.

³Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

³Sasa nendeni; fahamuni kwamba ninawatuma ninyi kama kondoo wanaokwenda kati ya mbwa mwitu.

⁴Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

⁴Msichukue mfuko wa fedha, mkoba, wala viatu; msimsalimu mtu yeyote njiani.

⁵And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁵Mkiingia katika nyumba yoyote, kwanza wasalimuni hivi: Amani iwe katika nyumba hii!

⁶And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

⁶Kama akiwako mwenye kupenda amani, amani yenu itakaa naye, la sivyo, itawarudieni.

⁷And 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.

⁷Kaeni katika nyumba hiyo mkila na kunywa wanavyowapeni, maana mfanyakazi anastahili mshahara wake. Msiende mara nyumba hii mara nyumba ile.

⁸And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

⁸Kama mkifika mji fulani na watu wakiwakaribisha, kuleni wanavyowapeni.

⁹And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

⁹Ponyeni wagonjwa walioko huko, waambieni watu: Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia kwenu.

¹⁰But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

¹⁰Lakini mkiingia katika mji wowote, wasipowakaribisheni, tokeni; nanyi mpitapo katika barabara zao semeni:

¹¹Even 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.

¹¹Hata mavumbi ya mji wenu yaliyoshikamana na miguu yetu tunawakung'utieni. Lakini, jueni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.

¹²But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹²Hakika nawaambieni, siku ile mji huo utapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Sodoma.

¹³Woe 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.

¹³"Ole wako Korazini! Ole wako Bethsaida! Maana, kama miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifanyika kule Tiro na Sidoni, watu wake wangalikwishavaa mavazi ya gunia kitambo, na kukaa katika majivu kuonyesha kwamba wametubu.

¹⁴But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

¹⁴Hata hivyo, Siku ya Hukumu ninyi mtapata adhabu kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya watu wa Tiro na Sidoni.

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

¹⁵Na wewe Kafarnaumu, unataka kujikweza mpaka mbinguni? La; utaporomoshwa mpaka Kuzimu."

¹⁶He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

¹⁶Halafu akasema, "Anayewasikiliza ninyi, ananisikiliza mimi; na anayekataa kuwapokea ninyi, anakataa kunipokea mimi. Yeyote anayekataa kunipokea, anakataa kumpokea yule aliyenituma."

¹⁷And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

¹⁷Baadaye, wale sabini na wawili walirudi wamejaa furaha, wakisema, "Bwana, hata pepo wametutii tulipolitaja jina lako."

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁸Yeye akawaambia, "Nilimwona Shetani jinsi alivyokuwa anaporomoka kama umeme kutoka mbinguni.

¹⁹Behold, 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.

¹⁹Naam, nimewapeni uwezo wa kukanyaga nyoka na ng'e, na uwezo juu ya nguvu zote za yule adui; hakuna chochote kitakachowadhuru.

²⁰Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

²⁰Hata hivyo, msifurahi kwa sababu pepo wamewatii, bali furahini kwa sababu majina yenu yameandikwa mbinguni."

²¹In 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.

²¹Saa ileile, Yesu akafurahi kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu, akasema, "Nakushukuru ee Baba, Bwana wa mbingu na dunia, kwa kuwa umewaficha wenye hekima na elimu mambo haya, ukawafumbulia wadogo. Naam, Baba, ndivyo ilivyokupendeza."

²²All 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.

²²Kisha akasema, "Baba yangu ameweka yote mikononi mwangu. Hakuna amjuaye Mwana ni nani ila Baba, wala amjuaye Baba ni nani ila Mwana, na yeyote yule ambaye Mwana anataka kumfunulia hayo."

²³And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²³Halafu akawaelekea wafuasi wake akawaambia, "Heri wanaoona yale mnayoyaona ninyi!

²⁴For 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.

²⁴Hakika, manabii na wafalme walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona ninyi wasiyaone, na kusikia yale mnayoyasikia wasiyasikie."

²⁵And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁵Baadaye mwalimu mmoja wa Sheria alisimama akamwuliza akitaka kumtega, "Mwalimu, nifanye nini ili nipate uzima wa milele?"

²⁶He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁶Yesu akamwuliza, "Imeandikwa nini katika Sheria? Unaelewaje?"

²⁷And 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.

²⁷Akamjibu, "Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa nguvu zako zote na kwa akili yako yote. Na, mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe."

²⁸And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁸Yesu akawaambia, "Vema! Fanya hivyo, nawe utaishi."

²⁹But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

²⁹Lakini yeye akitaka kujihakikishia kuwa mwema akamwuliza Yesu, "Na jirani yangu ni nani?"

³⁰And 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.

³⁰Yesu akamjibu, "Mtu mmoja alikuwa anashuka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Yeriko. Alipokuwa njiani, alivamiwa na majambazi, wakamnyang'anya mali yake na kumpiga, wakamwacha amelala pale nusu mfu.

³¹And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³¹Kumbe, kuhani mmoja akawa anapita barabara ileile, akamwona, akapita kando.

³²And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

³²Hali kadhalika na Mlawi mmoja, alipofika mahali akamwona, akapita kando.

³³But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

³³Lakini Msamaria mmoja aliyekuwa anasafiri, alifika pale yule mtu alipokuwa, naye alipomwona, alimwonea huruma.

³⁴And 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.

³⁴Akamwendea, akamtibu majeraha yake kwa kumtia mafuta na divai; na kuyafunga halafu akampandisha juu ya punda wake akampeleka katika nyumba moja ya wageni akamuuguza.

³⁵And 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.

³⁵Kesho yake akatoa fedha dinari mbili akampa yule mwenye nyumba, akamwambia, Muuguze mtu huyu; na chochote utakachotumia zaidi, nitakulipa nitakaporudi."

³⁶Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

³⁶Kisha Yesu akauliza, "Kati ya hao watatu, ni yupi aliyeonyesha kuwa jirani yake yule aliyevamiwa na majambazi?"

³⁷And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁷Yule mwalimu wa Sheria akamjibu, "Ni yule aliyemwonea huruma." Yesu akamwambia, "Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo."

³⁸Now 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.

³⁸Walipokuwa safarini, waliingia katika kijiji kimoja na mwanamke mmoja, aitwaye Martha, alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake.

³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

³⁹Martha alikuwa na dada yake aitwaye Maria; huyu aliketi karibu na Yesu akisikiliza mafundisho yake.

⁴⁰But 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.

⁴⁰Lakini Martha alikuwa anashughulika na mambo mengi. Basi, akamwendea Yesu, akamwambia, "Bwana, hivi hujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nishughulike peke yangu? Mwambie basi, anisaidie."

⁴¹And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

⁴¹Lakini Bwana akamjibu, "Martha, Martha, unahangaika na kusumbuka kwa mambo mengi.

⁴²But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

⁴²Kitu kimoja tu ni muhimu. Maria amechagua kitu bora zaidi ambacho hakuna mtu atakayemnyag'anya."
