Luka 7
1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyi kwa ŵandu ŵajawile ku Kapelenaumu.
Now when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Kweleko kwaliji ni chilongola jumo jwa ŵandu ŵangondo mia moja ŵa chiloma juŵaliji ni kapolo juŵankundile nnope. Jwele kapolo jo ŵaliji nkulwala chiŵandi ni kuwa.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 Chilongola jula paŵasipilikene ngani si Che Yesu, ŵaatumile achachekulu ŵane ŵa Ŵayahudi ajaule akaachondelele kuti aiche kukunlamya kapolo jwao.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 Paŵaiche ku Che Yesu, ŵanchondelele nnope achitiji, “Mundu ju akuŵajilwa kukamuchiswa,
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 pakuŵa akwanonyela ŵandu ŵetu, sooni ni jwatutaŵile nyuumba ja kupopelela.”
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalongene nawo. Paŵaliji nkuŵandichila kwika pa nyuumba ja chilongola jula, chilongola jula ŵaatumile achambusangagwe ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje nnalisausye nnope, pakuŵa une nganguŵajilwa mmwejo njinjile mu nyuumba jangu.
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Ali ni ligongo naliweni nganguŵajilwa kwika kukwenu nansyene. Nambo mmechete liloŵe pe ni jwakutumichila jwangu chalame.
Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Pakuŵa noneji nombe ndili mundu jundi paasi pa ulamusi, sooni ngwete ŵangondo paasi pa une. Nansalilaga jumo ‘Njaule!’ Nombejo akwaula ni jwine, ‘Njise!’ Nombejo akwika ni kapolo jwangu, ‘Ntende achi!’ Nombejo akuchitenda.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Che Yesu paŵapikene yeleyo, ŵansimosile, nombejo ŵagalauchile ŵandu ŵajinji ŵala ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya ni ŵaasalile, “Nganinachiwone chikulupi chachikulungwa mpela achi namuno mu ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli!”
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ŵala paŵaiche kumusi kwa chilongola jula ŵansimene kapolo jwao jula ali alamile.
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
11 Kundaŵi jakwe, Che Yesu ŵajawile mu musi umo waukuŵilanjikwa Naini, mpingo wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalongene nawo.
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
12 Nipele paŵaliji aninkuŵandichila pannango wa musi, ŵakopochele ŵandu ali ajigele malilo ga jwanchanda, mwana jwajikajika pe jwa jwankongwe jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe. Ni ŵandu achajinji wa musi ula ŵaliji pamo ni jwankongwe jula.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.
13 Ambuje Che Yesu paŵammweni jwankongwe jo ŵankolele chanasa, ni ŵansalile, “Nkalila.”
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 Nipele ŵajawile ni kuchikwaya chitagala chila ni ŵaŵajigele ŵala ŵajimi. Nipele ŵatite, “Mmwe nchanda! Ngunsalila, njimuche!”
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.
15 Jwamwe jula ŵajimwiche ni kutama ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ni Che Yesu ŵauchisye achikulugwe.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 Ŵandu wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba ni ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Jwakulondola jwankulu jwa Akunnungu akopochele kukwetu. Akunnungu aiiche kukwakamusya ŵandu ŵao.”
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 Ngani jo jajenele mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea ni mu ilambo ine iyasyungwile.
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the surrounding region.
18 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ŵaŵalanjile che Yohana yankati syele ngani syose. Nombewo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
And the disciples of John reported to him of all these things.
19 Ŵalajichisye kwa Ambuje Che Yesu akausye kuti, “Mmwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?”
And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 Ŵandu ŵala paŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya atulajisye kukwenu tummusye kuti, ‘Ana alakwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?’”
When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 Katema kakoko Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalamya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni ilwele ni ŵakulwala ni kugatyosya masoka ni ŵangalola achajinji kwatenda akombole kulola.
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaule nkaasalile che Yohana yose inyiweni mwachinsyene ni kupilikana. Ŵangalola atakulola ni ŵangajenda atakwenda ni ŵaali ni matana akuswejeswa ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana ni ŵawile akusyuswa ni ŵakulaga akulalichilwa Ngani Jambone.
Then Jesus answering said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 Asangalale jwele mundu jwangakuchimwa ni une!”
And blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me.
24 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵatyosile, Che Yesu ŵatandite kuusalila mpingo wa ŵandu yankati che Yohana achitiji, “Pamwajawile kukunnola che Yohana mwipululu mula mwalolele kuti chinchione chichi? Ana mwaganisye kuti chinkammone mundu jwali mpela litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?
And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 Nipele mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawasile iwalo yakusalala? Ngwamba! Ŵakuwala iwalo yanti yele ni kutama mu upoche ali mu majumba ga chimwenye!
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 Musalile, mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, sooni kupunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Ngani sya jweleju ni syasilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nnole, nguntuma jwakutumichila jwangu annongolele juchankolochesye litala lyenu.’”
This is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta ngunsalila, “Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵelekwe ni jwankongwe ngapagwa jwankulu kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatiswa. Nambo jwali jwannandi mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni jwankulu kupunda jwelejo.”
For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Ŵandu wose pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaŵabatiswe ni che Yohana paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajitichisye kuti Akunnungu ali ŵa usyene.
And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Nambo Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵanganabatiswa ni che Yohana ŵakanile chikotopasyo cha Akunnungu chachikwagamba ŵanyawo.
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
31 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chinaalandanye ni chichi ŵandu ŵa au uŵelesi wu? Ana akulandana ni chichi?
And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 Akulandana ni ŵanache ŵaŵatemi peuto pakusumichisya malonda ni kuŵilangana mpingo ni mpingo, ‘Twangombele ipeta, nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 Pakuŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaiche, nombe ŵaliji nkutaŵa ni nganang'waga divai ni ŵanyamwe mwatite ‘Ali ni lisoka!’
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
34 Nombe Mwana jwa Mundu aiche, akulya ni kung'wa ni ŵanyamwe mwatite, ‘Munnole aju jwakutolwa ju ni jwakolelwa ambusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
35 Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lusalichikwe kuti luli lwambone ni wose ŵakwitichisya ŵala.”
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 Mfalisayo jumpepe ŵanlaliche Che Yesu kukulya chakulya kumangwao. Ŵajinjile nkati mwa jwele Mfalisayo jo, ŵatemi ni kulya.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat.
37 Pamusi pala paliji ni jwankongwe jumpepe jwali ni sambi. Paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali nkulya mu nyuumba ja Mfalisayo jula ŵajigele kachupa kakakolechekwe ni liganga lyalikuŵilanjikwa alabasta kakagumbele mauta gakununjila.
And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 Ŵaiche ni kwima pachiŵandi makongolo ga Che Yesu, achililaga, ni misosi jakwe japatuchile pa makongolo ga Che Yesu. Jwele jwankongwe jo ŵagatikite makongolo ga Che Yesu kwa umbo syakwe. Ŵagakomasisye makongolo kwa ngomo syakwe ni ŵagapachile mauta.
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Jwele Mfalisayo juŵanlaliche Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mu ntima mwakwe kuti, “Aju mundu ju akaŵe jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, akaimanyi kuti jwankongwe jwakunkwaya ju ali jwanti uli, kuti ali ni sambi.”
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwele Mfalisayo jo kuti “Che Simoni, ngwete chakunsalila.” Nombe che Simoni ŵajitichisye, “Elo jwakwiganya, mmechete.”
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, say it.
41 Che Yesu ŵatandite kuŵecheta, “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵankongwele mbiya mundu jumpepe, jumo ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga chaka chimo ni nusu ni jwine ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga mwesi umo ni nusu.
There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 Paŵalepele kummuchisya, jwele mundu jo ŵalechelesye wose ŵaŵili. Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵili wo jwapi juchannonyele nnope jwakukongosya jula?”
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Isyene ni ajula juŵannechelesye ligambo lyekulungwa nnope ni juchannonyele nnope Ambuje.” Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Njanjile uchenene.”
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Nipele ŵangalauchile jwankongwe jo ni ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Ana ngati nkummona jwankongwe ju? Panajinjile mu nyuumba jenu nganimumba meesi ga kulikunda pa makongolo gangu nambo jwankongwe ju ŵambatuchisye misosi jakwe pa makongolo gangu ni kundikita ni umbo syakwe.
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Mmwejo nganimungomasya kwa kunonyela pejeje, nambo une chijinjilile mu nyuumba ji jwankongwe ju nganaleka kungomasya kwa kunonyela pa makongolo gangu.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Mmwejo nganimumbakasya mauta muntwe, nambo ajuju ambachile mauta pa makongolo gangu.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Ngunsalila kuti unonyelo wekulungwa ŵaulosisye ukumanyisya kuti alecheleswe sambi syakwe syasitupile. Nambo jwakulecheleswa indu yaili kanandi, akunonyela kanandi.”
Therefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sambi syenu silecheleswe.”
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Ŵeŵala ŵaŵalyaga pamo ni Che Yesu ŵausyene achinsyene achitiji, “Ana mundu ju ali ŵaani, jwakukombola atamuno kulechelesya sambi?”
And they that were eating with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye, njaule kwa chitendewele.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
