Lukka 13
1 Kuli eecho chiindi, bamwi bantu aawo bakamwaambila aatala abana Galilii aabo balaabulowa Payilate mbwakavwaangania azipayizyo zyabo.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had 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 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 Pesi kuti temwasanduka moonse muyofwidilila munzila njiyeeyo.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4 Nakuti aabo bantu balikumi lilamusanu abatatu baku Silowamu aabo bakawidwa bulambo bulamfu bwabajaya, muyeeya kuti bakali basizibi loko kwiinda bamwi baalumi mu Jelusalema?
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 Peepe. Ndamwaambila. Pesi kuti temwasanduka, moonse muyoonyonyooka.”
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
6 Jesu wakaluula chikozyanisyo eechi, “Umwi muntu wakaganka mukuyu muchilili chakwe chamasansa mpawo wakaboola kuzoolanga muchelo alinguwo pesi taakwe takawujana pe.
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 Mwaalumi wakati kuli sichilili, 'Langa, ndakasika minyaka iitatu nkelanga muchelo kumukuyu ooyu peesi taakwe nindakawujana pe. Ugonke. Nkaambo nzi kuuleka kunyonyoona nyika?
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 Sichilili wakasandula wati, 'Uleke uuno munyaka ndiwusyide mumbali ndiwubike mbolezi.
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9 Kuti wazozyala muchelo mumnyaka uuboola sambubo, pesi kuti kuutazyede lubo, uzowugonka!”
And if it bears fruit next time, [fine]; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
10 Lino Jesu wakalikuyiisya kulichimwi chikombelo mubuzuba bwa Sabata.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 Amubone, kwali mwanakazi wakali amuuya mubi wakubula nguzu kwamyaaka kkumi lilamusanu ayitatu alimwi wakali vundeme nkaambo taakali kukonzya pe kwiimikila kabotu.
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 Aawo Jesu naakamubona, wakamwiita wati, “Yoomwanakazi, waponesegwa kuchilwazi chako chakubula nguzu.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13 Wakabikka maanza aakwe aalinguwe mpawaawo wakavundamuka akwiima kabotu mpawo wakalumbayi Leza.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and 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.”
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 Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Nubawupuupi! Tawo na uunga waangununa donki na ng'ombe yakwe kuzwa mubbondo akwiitola kuyonywa maanzi mubuzuba bwa Sabata?
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 Ooyu alakwe mwana wa Abbulahamu, ooyo Satani ngwaakangide kwaminyaka iilikumi lilamusanu ayitatu, tayelede na kuti bwaange bwakwe bwaangununwe mubuzuba bwa 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 Naakali kwaamba zintu eezi, boonse aabo bakali kukazyania aawe bakawusa, pesi nkamu yabantu yakabotela aatala azyoonse zibotu nzyakachita
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 Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Bwami bwa Leza buli biyeni, alubo ndikonzya lkubukozyanisya anyamaanzi?
Then he said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what can 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 put in his own garden. It grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."
20 Alubo wakati, “Niinzi nchindikonzya kukozyanisya bwami bwa Leza?
And again he said, "To what can I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Bukozyenie aabusweezyo bwakabwezegwa amwanakazi wabuvwelengania mumyeelwe iitatu yabusu, mpawo bwafuta boonse.”
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
22 Mpawo Jesu waswayila madolopo amyuunzi akuyabubayiisya we kayabutozya ku Jelusalema.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Umwi wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, mbache biyo na beelede kuyofutulwa?” Wakati kulimbabo,
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,
24 “Muzumanane kuyoonjila mukalyango kamanikide, nkaambo ndamwaambila nywebo, biingi bayoyezya kunjila pesi tabakoyokonzya pe.
"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will 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.'
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 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!'
But he will reply, 'I do not know where you come 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.
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 Bayoozwa kumbo, kujwe, kumusanza akunyika bazokkale atafula mubwami bwa Leza.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.
30 Mpawo amuchizibe eechi, bakumamanino mbibayoba bakusanguna, mpawo bakusanguna bayooba bakumamanino.”
And look, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."
31 Musule buniini achiindi eecho, bamwi ba Falisi bakasika bati kulinguwe, “Chija uzwe omuno uyende nkaambo Heloda uyanda kukujaya.”
In that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants 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, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 Amuliili nzila, kuleelede kuti ndiinkile kunembo sunu, juunza, azoona nkaambo tazitambuliki pe kujaya munsimi katamo mu Jelusalema.
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 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, 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 Langa, ng'anda yako yasiigwa. Ndati kulinduwe, tokoyondibona pe mane ukatedi, “Ulaachoolwe ooyo uuza muzina lya Mwami.'”
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.'"
