Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Aawo Jesu nakamana zyoonse nzyakalikwaamba kubantu, wakanjila mu Kkapenawuma.
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Lino mupati wabasilumamba wakali aamuzike wakwe ngwaakalikuyandisya, pesi wakali wachiswa kali waamba kufwa.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
Mupati wabasilumamba nakamvwa aatala a Jesu, wakamutumina bapati babaJuda, kamukumbila kuti asike azosilike muzike wakwe.
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Nibakasika kuli Jesu, bakamukumbila chamoyo woonse kabati, “Uleelede kuti ajane luzyalo kuzwa kulinduwe,
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
nkaambo ulayiyandisya nyika yesu, alimwi nguwe wakatuyakila chikombelo.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Lino Jesu wakeendela kunembo ambabo. Pesi katananba kule ang'anda, Silumamba mupati wakatuma beenzinyina kaamba kuti, “Mwami utalikataazyhi lwako, nkaambo nsyeelede pe kuti usike mung'anda yangu.
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Nkaambo kaako nchindabona nkesyeelede pe kuti ndisike kulinduwe, pesi wamba biyo jwi ulapona mulanda wangu.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Nkaambo andime ndili mwaalumi ulimunsi lyanguzu, ndilaabasilumamba munsi lyangu. Ndilaamba kuliyooyu kuti, 'Yinka', ulayinka, akuli umbi kuti, 'Sika,' ulasika, aku, mulanda wangu kuti, 'Chita eechi,' alimwi ulachichita.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
Jesou naakamvwa majwi aaya akamugambya, wakalanga makamu akayobumutobela wati, “Ndati kuli ndinywe, taakwe nikuba mu Izilayeli moonse nkundakajene lusyomo luli boobu.”
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
Aboobo aabo bakatuminwe nibakabweeda kung'anda bakajana muzike wapona.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
Kuzwa aawo Jesu wakaya kudolopo litegwa Nayini, mpawo basikwiiya bakwe abantu biingi bakiinka aawe.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
Kali waamba kusika afwiifwi amulyango wadolopo eelyo, langa, kuli mwaalumi wakafwide wakalikuyabugwisigwa, wakali mwana wabanyina kali aalike (banyina bakali mukamufu), nkamu yabantu mpati kuzwa mudolopo oomu yakali aanguwe mwanakazi ooyu.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
Aawo Mwami naakamubona, luzyalo lwakamujata loko nkaambo kayooyu mwanakazi mpawo wakati kuli nguwe, “Utalili pe.”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
Mpawo wakayinka wakujata bulo bwakalazikidwe mutunta, mpawo aabo bakanyampwide bakayimikila. Wakati, “Mulombe, ndati kulinduwe, buka.”
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
Ooyu mwaalumi wakafwide wakabuka wakkala akusanguna kwaambuula, mpawo Jesu wakamupeda kuli banyina.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
Mpawo kuyoowa kwakanbasikila boonse, alimwi bakaumbayizya Leza, bakati, “Musinsimi mupati wabusigwa akati kesu” akuti “Leza wabalanga bantu bakwe.”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
Aaya makani aatala a Jesu akazula mukati ka Judea yoonse amukati kamasena ayizyungulukide.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Basikwiiya ba Joni bakamwaambila zyoonse eezi izntu.
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
Mpawo Joni wakayita basikwiiya bakwe babili mpawo wabatuma ku Mwami kuti bakatedi, “Nduwe na uzabuza, naakuti tulangile umbi?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
Nibakasika aafwiifwi a Jesu bakati Joni Mubbabbatizyi watutuma kuti tozotedi, 'Nduwe na uzabuza, nakuti tulangile umbi?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Muwola eelyo wakapnia bantu bangi kuzwa kumalwazi, machise akumyuuya mibi, mpawo boofu biingi wakabania babona.
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Jesu wakabasandula wati, “Nimwabweeda amukaambe kuli Joni eezyo nzimwabona akumvwa. Boofu balikubona, basinkematwi balikumvwa, bateemndi balikweenda, bachiswa chipele balikusalazigwa, bafu balikubuka kababoola kubuumi, bafwaba mbalikubuzigwa majwi mabohtu.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Ooyo muntu uutaleki kusyoma mulindime nkaambo kanchito zyangu uli longezezegwe.”
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Nibakabweeda basikutumwa ba Joni, Jesu wakasanguna kwaambula kumakamu aabantu aatala a Joni kati, “Niinzi nchimwayinka munkanda kuyoobona? Itete lilikuteketesegwa aguwo?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
Pesi niinzi nchimwaya kukubona aanze? Mwaalumi uuzwete zizwaato zibotu? Amulange, aabo bazwata zizwaato zibotu abakkede buumi bubotu bali mumaanda abaami.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Pesi mniinzi nchimwaya kukubona aanze? Musinsimi? Iyii, ndati kulindinywe mupati kwiinda musinsimi.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Ngonguwe ulembeledwe majwi ati, 'Amulange, ndatuma mutumwa kunembo lyabusyu bwako, utakabambe nzila kunembo lyako.'
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
Ndati kuli ndinywe, woonse wakazyalwa aamwanakazi, taakwe mupati kwiinda Joni. Pesi ooyo muniini mu bwami bwa Leza mupati kwiinda nguwe.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
Aawo bantu boonse nibakazimvwa eezi kubika aantomwe abasimutelo, bakaamba kuti Leza uli luleme, kwiinda mukubbabbatizigwa alubbabbatizyo lwa Joni.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Pesi ba Falisi abasibusongo bamulawu wachi Juda bakalikakila luyando lwa Leza kulimbabo, nkaambo taakwe nibakali babbabbatizigwa a Joni pe.
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
“Mpo, nga ndilabakozyanisya aanyamanzi aba bantu baleeli zyalane?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
Balimbuli bana balikusobana kuchisambalilo, aabo bakkede kabalikwiitilana kuti, 'Twakulizizya nyeele taakwe nuwazyana pe. Twakwiimbila lwiimbo lwadilwe pesi takwe nuwalila pe.'
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Nkaambo Joni mubbabbatizyi wakasika katalyi chinkwa katanywi wayini, pesi mwaamba kuti, 'Ula dayimona.'
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Mwana wa Muntu wakasika kalya akunywa, mwaamba kuti, 'Amulange ulaamafwiti mpawo ulakolwa, muzolani wabasimutelo abasizibi!
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Pesi mbusongo buboneka kwiinda mubana babusongo.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
Lino ba Falisi bakamutamba Jesu kuti azolye aabo. Aboobo Jesu nakanjila mung'anda yaba Falisi wakakkala atafula kuti alye.
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Amulange kwakali mwanakazi wamudolopo eelyo wakali sizibi. Naakamvwa kuti wakali kutafula mung'anda yamu Falisi, wakeeta kankuli kakazwide mafuta anunkilila.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Nakiimvwi kusule lyakwe afwiifwi amawulu aakwe, kalikulila, wakasanguna kutetya mawulu aakwe amisozi yakwe, mpawo wakaabukusa amasusu aakwe akumyonta mawulu aayo akwananika mafuta aanunkilila.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
Aawo mu Falisi wakatambide Jesu naakabona eezi kazichitika wakayeeya mumoyo wakwe, wakati, “Kansinga ooyu mwaalumi walimusinsimi, walikunooziba musyobo wamwanakazi ulikumwampampa kuti ngusizibi.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “Sayimoni, mpuchili ncheyanda kwaamba kuli nduwe.” Wakati, “Wamba. Muyiisyi!”
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Jesu wakati, “Umwi wakalikua zikwelete zyamali wakali aabasizikwelete nbabil. Umwi wakali aachikwelete chama dinari aali myaanda musanu, umwi makkumi musanu.
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
Nibakakachilwa kubweedezya mali yakwe, wakabalekelela boonse. Aboobo nguli akati kabo uutamuyande loko?”
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
Sayimoni wakamusandula wati, “Ndiyeeya kuti ngooyo wakalekelelwa aapati.” Jesu wakamusanduka wati, “Wasandula kabotu.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
Jesu wakachengunukila kumwanakazi wasikuti kuli Sayimoni, “Wamubona ooyu mwanakazi. Ndanjila mung'anda yako. Taakwe nuwandipa maanzi akusamba mawulu aangu, pesi we watetya mawulu aangu amisozi yakwe akwaabukusa amasusu aakwe.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Taakwe pe nuwandimyonta, pesi kuzwa mpundasikila talikuleka pe kumyonta mawulu aangu.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Taakwe nuwananika mutwe wangu amafuta, pesi we wananika mawulu aangu amafuta aanunkilila.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
Aboobo ndati kulinduwe, zibi zyakwe zyali zyiingi loko, zyalekelelwa - nkaambo waba aluyando lupati. Pesi ooyo ulekelelwa buniini uyanda buniini.”
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Mpawo wakati kumwanakazi, “Zibi zyako zyalekelelwa.”
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Aabo mbaakakkede aabo atafula bakasanguna kwaambula akati kabo kabati, “Ngwani ooyu uulekelela niku zibi?”
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Mpawo Jesu wakati kumwanakazi, “Lusyomo lwako lwakufutula, koya muluumuno.
