Luka 13
1 Nthawi yomweyo panali ena amene analipo omwe amamuwuza Yesu za Agalileya amene magazi awo Pilato anawasakaniza ndi nsembe zawo.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi mukuganiza kuti Agalileya amenewa anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa Agalileya ena onse chifukwa anavutika mʼnjira iyi?
And he answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?
3 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4 Kapena anthu 18 aja amene anafa nsanja ya Siloamu itawagwera, kodi mukuganiza kuti iwo aja anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa onse amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.”
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
6 Kenaka Iye anawawuza fanizo kuti, “Munthu wina anali ndi mtengo wamkuyu, umene anadzala mʼmunda wamphesa, ndipo Iye anapita kukayangʼana zipatso, koma sanazipeze.
He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 Tsono kwa munthu amene amasamalira munda wamphesawo anati, ‘Kwa zaka zitatu tsopano ndakhala ndikubwera kudzafuna chipatso pa mtengo uwu ndipo sindinachipeze. Udule! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuwononga nthaka?’
He said to the vine dresser, 'Look, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
8 “Munthuyo anayankha kuti, ‘Bwana, tawusiyani kwa chaka chimodzi chokha ndipo ine ndikumba ngalande mozungulira ndi kuthira manyowa.
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9 Ngati udzabale zipatso chaka chamawa, zili bwino! Koma ngati sudzabala, pamenepo mudzawudule.’”
And if it bears fruit next time, [fine]; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
10 Pa Sabata Yesu ankaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge ina,
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 ndipo momwemo munali mayi amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene unamudwalitsa zaka 18. Iye anali wokhota msana ndipo samatha kuweramuka ndi pangʼono pomwe.
And look, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Yesu atamuona anamuyitana kutsogolo ndipo anati kwa iye, “Amayi, mwamasulidwa ku mavuto.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13 Kenaka anasanjika manja ake pa iye, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anawongoka nayamika Mulungu.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.
14 Chifukwa cha kuyipidwa kuti Yesu anachiritsa pa Sabata, wolamulira sunagoge anati kwa anthu, “Pali masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito. Choncho bwerani kuti mudzachiritsidwe masiku amenewo osati pa Sabata.”
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 Ambuye anamuyankha kuti, “Iwe wachiphamaso! Kodi nonsenu simumasula pa Sabata ngʼombe zanu kapena bulu kumuchotsa mʼkhola ndi kupita naye kukamupatsa madzi?
Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites. Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
16 Nanga mayiyu, amene ndi mwana wa Abrahamu, ndipo anamangidwa ndi Satana zaka 18, kodi siwoyenera kuti amasulidwe msinga imeneyi pa tsiku la Sabata?”
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, look, eighteen years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"
17 Atanena izi, onse omutsutsa anachititsidwa manyazi, koma anthu anakondwera ndi zodabwitsa zonse zimene Iye anazichita.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Kenaka Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu uli ngati chiyani? Kodi Ine ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
Then he said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what can I compare it?
19 Uli ngati mbewu ya mpiru, imene munthu anatenga ndi kudzala mʼmunda mwake. Inakula, nʼkukhala mtengo, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zinakhala mʼnthambi zake.”
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."
20 Iye anafunsanso kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
And again he said, "To what can I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Uli ngati yisiti amene mayi anatenga ndi kusakaniza ndi ufa wambiri mpaka anafufumitsa ufawo.”
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
22 Ndipo Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda ndi mʼmidzi, kumaphunzitsa pamene Iye ankapita ku Yerusalemu.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Wina anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Ambuye, kodi ndi anthu ochepa okha amene adzapulumutsidwe?” Iye anawawuza kuti,
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,
24 “Yesetsani kulowa pa khomo lopapatiza, chifukwa ndikukuwuzani kuti ambiri adzafuna kulowa koma sadzatha kutero.
"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Nthawi yomwe mwini nyumba adzayimirira ndi kutseka chitseko, inu mudzayima kunja kugogoda ndi kudandaula kuti, ‘Bwana, tatitsekulirani khomo.’ “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera.’
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' then he will answer and tell you, 'I do not know you or where you come from.'
26 “Ndipo inu mudzati, tinkadya ndi kumwa ndi inu ndipo munkaphunzitsa mʼmisewu yathu.
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
27 “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera. Chokereni inu nonse ochita zoyipa!’
But he will reply, 'I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
28 “Mudzalira ndi kukuta mano mukadzaona Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo ndi aneneri onse ali mu ufumu wa Mulungu koma inuyo mutaponyedwa kunja.
There will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Anthu adzachokera kummawa ndi kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera, kudzakhala pa phwando mu ufumu wa Mulungu.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.
30 Ndithudi otsirizira ndiye adzakhale oyambirira, ndipo oyambirira ndiye adzakhale otsirizira.”
And look, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."
31 Pa nthawi imeneyo Afarisi anabwera kwa Yesu ndipo anati kwa Iye, “Chokani malo ano ndipo pitani kumalo ena aliwonse. Herode akufuna kukuphani.”
In that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."
32 Iye anayankha kuti, “Pitani kawuzeni nkhandweyo, Ine ndikutulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchiritsa anthu lero ndi mawa ndipo tsiku lachitatu ndidzakwaniritsa cholinga changa.”
And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 Mʼnjira ina iliyonse, Ine ndiyenera kupitirira ulendo wanga lero, mawa ndi mkuja. Zoona nʼzakuti mneneri sangafere kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it cannot be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'
34 Iwe Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu! Umapha aneneri ndi kuwagenda miyala anthu amene atumizidwa kwa iwe. Nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikufuna kusonkhanitsa ana ako pamodzi, monga nkhuku imasonkhanitsira anapiye pansi pa mapiko ake, koma iwe sunafune!
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.
35 Taona, nyumba yako yasanduka bwinja. Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, sudzandionanso mpaka pamene udzati, “Wodala amene akubwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!”
Look, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
