Lukka 7
1 Aawo Jesu nakamana zyoonse nzyakalikwaamba kubantu, wakanjila mu Kkapenawuma.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Lino mupati wabasilumamba wakali aamuzike wakwe ngwaakalikuyandisya, pesi wakali wachiswa kali waamba kufwa.
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Mupati wabasilumamba nakamvwa aatala a Jesu, wakamutumina bapati babaJuda, kamukumbila kuti asike azosilike muzike wakwe.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Nibakasika kuli Jesu, bakamukumbila chamoyo woonse kabati, “Uleelede kuti ajane luzyalo kuzwa kulinduwe,
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 nkaambo ulayiyandisya nyika yesu, alimwi nguwe wakatuyakila chikombelo.”
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 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.
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.
7 Nkaambo kaako nchindabona nkesyeelede pe kuti ndisike kulinduwe, pesi wamba biyo jwi ulapona mulanda wangu.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 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.”
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.”
9 Jesou naakamvwa majwi aaya akamugambya, wakalanga makamu akayobumutobela wati, “Ndati kuli ndinywe, taakwe nikuba mu Izilayeli moonse nkundakajene lusyomo luli boobu.”
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.”
10 Aboobo aabo bakatuminwe nibakabweeda kung'anda bakajana muzike wapona.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Kuzwa aawo Jesu wakaya kudolopo litegwa Nayini, mpawo basikwiiya bakwe abantu biingi bakiinka aawe.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 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.
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.
13 Aawo Mwami naakamubona, luzyalo lwakamujata loko nkaambo kayooyu mwanakazi mpawo wakati kuli nguwe, “Utalili pe.”
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Mpawo wakayinka wakujata bulo bwakalazikidwe mutunta, mpawo aabo bakanyampwide bakayimikila. Wakati, “Mulombe, ndati kulinduwe, buka.”
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Ooyu mwaalumi wakafwide wakabuka wakkala akusanguna kwaambuula, mpawo Jesu wakamupeda kuli banyina.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Mpawo kuyoowa kwakanbasikila boonse, alimwi bakaumbayizya Leza, bakati, “Musinsimi mupati wabusigwa akati kesu” akuti “Leza wabalanga bantu bakwe.”
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Aaya makani aatala a Jesu akazula mukati ka Judea yoonse amukati kamasena ayizyungulukide.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Basikwiiya ba Joni bakamwaambila zyoonse eezi izntu.
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 Mpawo Joni wakayita basikwiiya bakwe babili mpawo wabatuma ku Mwami kuti bakatedi, “Nduwe na uzabuza, naakuti tulangile umbi?”
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?”
20 Nibakasika aafwiifwi a Jesu bakati Joni Mubbabbatizyi watutuma kuti tozotedi, 'Nduwe na uzabuza, nakuti tulangile umbi?”
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?’”
21 Muwola eelyo wakapnia bantu bangi kuzwa kumalwazi, machise akumyuuya mibi, mpawo boofu biingi wakabania babona.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 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.
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.
23 Ooyo muntu uutaleki kusyoma mulindime nkaambo kanchito zyangu uli longezezegwe.”
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 Nibakabweeda basikutumwa ba Joni, Jesu wakasanguna kwaambula kumakamu aabantu aatala a Joni kati, “Niinzi nchimwayinka munkanda kuyoobona? Itete lilikuteketesegwa aguwo?
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?
25 Pesi niinzi nchimwaya kukubona aanze? Mwaalumi uuzwete zizwaato zibotu? Amulange, aabo bazwata zizwaato zibotu abakkede buumi bubotu bali mumaanda abaami.
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.
26 Pesi mniinzi nchimwaya kukubona aanze? Musinsimi? Iyii, ndati kulindinywe mupati kwiinda musinsimi.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Ngonguwe ulembeledwe majwi ati, 'Amulange, ndatuma mutumwa kunembo lyabusyu bwako, utakabambe nzila kunembo lyako.'
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 Ndati kuli ndinywe, woonse wakazyalwa aamwanakazi, taakwe mupati kwiinda Joni. Pesi ooyo muniini mu bwami bwa Leza mupati kwiinda nguwe.”
“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.”
29 Aawo bantu boonse nibakazimvwa eezi kubika aantomwe abasimutelo, bakaamba kuti Leza uli luleme, kwiinda mukubbabbatizigwa alubbabbatizyo lwa Joni.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 Pesi ba Falisi abasibusongo bamulawu wachi Juda bakalikakila luyando lwa Leza kulimbabo, nkaambo taakwe nibakali babbabbatizigwa a Joni pe.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 “Mpo, nga ndilabakozyanisya aanyamanzi aba bantu baleeli zyalane?
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Balimbuli bana balikusobana kuchisambalilo, aabo bakkede kabalikwiitilana kuti, 'Twakulizizya nyeele taakwe nuwazyana pe. Twakwiimbila lwiimbo lwadilwe pesi takwe nuwalila pe.'
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.’
33 Nkaambo Joni mubbabbatizyi wakasika katalyi chinkwa katanywi wayini, pesi mwaamba kuti, 'Ula dayimona.'
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Mwana wa Muntu wakasika kalya akunywa, mwaamba kuti, 'Amulange ulaamafwiti mpawo ulakolwa, muzolani wabasimutelo abasizibi!
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!’
35 Pesi mbusongo buboneka kwiinda mubana babusongo.”
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Lino ba Falisi bakamutamba Jesu kuti azolye aabo. Aboobo Jesu nakanjila mung'anda yaba Falisi wakakkala atafula kuti alye.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 Amulange kwakali mwanakazi wamudolopo eelyo wakali sizibi. Naakamvwa kuti wakali kutafula mung'anda yamu Falisi, wakeeta kankuli kakazwide mafuta anunkilila.
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.
38 Nakiimvwi kusule lyakwe afwiifwi amawulu aakwe, kalikulila, wakasanguna kutetya mawulu aakwe amisozi yakwe, mpawo wakaabukusa amasusu aakwe akumyonta mawulu aayo akwananika mafuta aanunkilila.
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.
39 Aawo mu Falisi wakatambide Jesu naakabona eezi kazichitika wakayeeya mumoyo wakwe, wakati, “Kansinga ooyu mwaalumi walimusinsimi, walikunooziba musyobo wamwanakazi ulikumwampampa kuti ngusizibi.”
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.”
40 Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “Sayimoni, mpuchili ncheyanda kwaamba kuli nduwe.” Wakati, “Wamba. Muyiisyi!”
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Jesu wakati, “Umwi wakalikua zikwelete zyamali wakali aabasizikwelete nbabil. Umwi wakali aachikwelete chama dinari aali myaanda musanu, umwi makkumi musanu.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Nibakakachilwa kubweedezya mali yakwe, wakabalekelela boonse. Aboobo nguli akati kabo uutamuyande loko?”
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Sayimoni wakamusandula wati, “Ndiyeeya kuti ngooyo wakalekelelwa aapati.” Jesu wakamusanduka wati, “Wasandula kabotu.”
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 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.
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.
45 Taakwe pe nuwandimyonta, pesi kuzwa mpundasikila talikuleka pe kumyonta mawulu aangu.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Taakwe nuwananika mutwe wangu amafuta, pesi we wananika mawulu aangu amafuta aanunkilila.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Aboobo ndati kulinduwe, zibi zyakwe zyali zyiingi loko, zyalekelelwa - nkaambo waba aluyando lupati. Pesi ooyo ulekelelwa buniini uyanda buniini.”
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Mpawo wakati kumwanakazi, “Zibi zyako zyalekelelwa.”
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Aabo mbaakakkede aabo atafula bakasanguna kwaambula akati kabo kabati, “Ngwani ooyu uulekelela niku zibi?”
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Mpawo Jesu wakati kumwanakazi, “Lusyomo lwako lwakufutula, koya muluumuno.
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
