Lukka 13
1 Kuli eecho chiindi, bamwi bantu aawo bakamwaambila aatala abana Galilii aabo balaabulowa Payilate mbwakavwaangania azipayizyo zyabo.
And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Jesu waskasandula wati kulimbabo, “Muyeeya kuti bana Galilii aaba mbibakali basizibi loko kwiinda kwiinda bamwi bana Galili na nkaambo kakupenzegwa kwabo ooku? Peepe, ndamwaambila.
And responding, he said to them: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
3 Pesi kuti temwasanduka moonse muyofwidilila munzila njiyeeyo.
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
4 Nakuti aabo bantu balikumi lilamusanu abatatu baku Silowamu aabo bakawidwa bulambo bulamfu bwabajaya, muyeeya kuti bakali basizibi loko kwiinda bamwi baalumi mu Jelusalema?
And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
5 Peepe. Ndamwaambila. Pesi kuti temwasanduka, moonse muyoonyonyooka.”
No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
6 Jesu wakaluula chikozyanisyo eechi, “Umwi muntu wakaganka mukuyu muchilili chakwe chamasansa mpawo wakaboola kuzoolanga muchelo alinguwo pesi taakwe takawujana pe.
And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
7 Mwaalumi wakati kuli sichilili, 'Langa, ndakasika minyaka iitatu nkelanga muchelo kumukuyu ooyu peesi taakwe nindakawujana pe. Ugonke. Nkaambo nzi kuuleka kunyonyoona nyika?
Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’
8 Sichilili wakasandula wati, 'Uleke uuno munyaka ndiwusyide mumbali ndiwubike mbolezi.
But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
9 Kuti wazozyala muchelo mumnyaka uuboola sambubo, pesi kuti kuutazyede lubo, uzowugonka!”
And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’”
10 Lino Jesu wakalikuyiisya kulichimwi chikombelo mubuzuba bwa Sabata.
Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths.
11 Amubone, kwali mwanakazi wakali amuuya mubi wakubula nguzu kwamyaaka kkumi lilamusanu ayitatu alimwi wakali vundeme nkaambo taakali kukonzya pe kwiimikila kabotu.
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all.
12 Aawo Jesu naakamubona, wakamwiita wati, “Yoomwanakazi, waponesegwa kuchilwazi chako chakubula nguzu.”
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.”
13 Wakabikka maanza aakwe aalinguwe mpawaawo wakavundamuka akwiima kabotu mpawo wakalumbayi Leza.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God.
14 Pesi mweendelezyi wachikombelo wakanyema nkaambo Jesu wakamuponia mubuzuba bwa Sabata. Mpawo mweendelezi wakasandula akwaambila nkau yabantu kuti, “Kuli mazuba musanu alimwi ayelede kubeleka mulingawo. Amusike musikwe mumazuba aayo pepe mubuzuba bwa Sabata.”
Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
15 Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Nubawupuupi! Tawo na uunga waangununa donki na ng'ombe yakwe kuzwa mubbondo akwiitola kuyonywa maanzi mubuzuba bwa Sabata?
Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
16 Ooyu alakwe mwana wa Abbulahamu, ooyo Satani ngwaakangide kwaminyaka iilikumi lilamusanu ayitatu, tayelede na kuti bwaange bwakwe bwaangununwe mubuzuba bwa Sabata
So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?”
17 Naakali kwaamba zintu eezi, boonse aabo bakali kukazyania aawe bakawusa, pesi nkamu yabantu yakabotela aatala azyoonse zibotu nzyakachita
And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
18 Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Bwami bwa Leza buli biyeni, alubo ndikonzya lkubukozyanisya anyamaanzi?
And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
19 Bulimbuli nseke yamusitadi eeyo muntu njaakabweza wakwiiminza muchilili chakwe, yakakomena yaba musamu mupati, mpawo tuyuni twayaka zizubo zyato amitabi yawo.”
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”
20 Alubo wakati, “Niinzi nchindikonzya kukozyanisya bwami bwa Leza?
And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Bukozyenie aabusweezyo bwakabwezegwa amwanakazi wabuvwelengania mumyeelwe iitatu yabusu, mpawo bwafuta boonse.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
22 Mpawo Jesu waswayila madolopo amyuunzi akuyabubayiisya we kayabutozya ku Jelusalema.
And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Umwi wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, mbache biyo na beelede kuyofutulwa?” Wakati kulimbabo,
And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them:
24 “Muzumanane kuyoonjila mukalyango kamanikide, nkaambo ndamwaambila nywebo, biingi bayoyezya kunjila pesi tabakoyokonzya pe.
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.
25 Naakubuka akujala mulyango mwani ng'anda, aawo muyoyimikila aanze kamukonkomona mulyango kamuti, 'Mwami, Mwami, tujulile tunjile.' Uyoomusandula akatedi kulondinywe, 'Nsimwizi pe nakuti mwazwida kuli.'
Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 Mpawo muyosandula kamuti, 'Twakalya akunywa kunembo lyako, mpawo wakayiisya mumigwagwa yesu.'
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Pesi we uyoosandula kati, 'Ndati kulindinywe, nsimwizi pe nkumuzwa. Amuzwe kulindime nywebo nobasizibi!'
And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
28 Kuyooba kulila akuluma ntwino aawo nimuyoobona Abbulahamu, Ayizeki, Jakobo abamwi boonse basinsimi mubwami bwa Leza, pesi nywe - muyosowelwa aanze.
In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside.
29 Bayoozwa kumbo, kujwe, kumusanza akunyika bazokkale atafula mubwami bwa Leza.
And they will arrive from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South; and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Mpawo amuchizibe eechi, bakumamanino mbibayoba bakusanguna, mpawo bakusanguna bayooba bakumamanino.”
And behold, those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.”
31 Musule buniini achiindi eecho, bamwi ba Falisi bakasika bati kulinguwe, “Chija uzwe omuno uyende nkaambo Heloda uyanda kukujaya.”
On the same day, some of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: “Depart, and go away from here. For Herod wishes to kill you.”
32 Jesu wakati, “Amukamwaambili ooyo mwaalumi kuti, 'Langa, ndiyabugwisya myuuya mibi akusilika bachiswa sunu ajuunza mpawo zoona ndinooli ndasisya makanze aangu.'
And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish healings, today and tomorrow. And on the third day I reach the end.’
33 Amuliili nzila, kuleelede kuti ndiinkile kunembo sunu, juunza, azoona nkaambo tazitambuliki pe kujaya munsimi katamo mu Jelusalema.
Yet truly, it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day. For it does not fall to a prophet to perish beyond Jerusalem.
34 Jelusalema, Jelusama, webo nojaya basinsimi akutulula aabo bakakutuma. Ndiyandisya loko kubungania bana bako mbuli nseke mbiifukatila bana bayo munsi lyamababa aayo, pesi webo tewakaziyanda pe eezi.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, and you stone those who are sent to you. Daily, I wanted to gather together your children, in the manner of a bird with her nest under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 Langa, ng'anda yako yasiigwa. Ndati kulinduwe, tokoyondibona pe mane ukatedi, “Ulaachoolwe ooyo uuza muzina lya Mwami.'”
Behold, your house will be left desolate for you. But I say to you, that you shall not see me, until it happens that you say: ‘Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.’”
