Luke 13
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Kwa wakataihuo huo, kulikuwa na baadhi watu waliomtaarifu juu ya Wagalilaya ambao Pilato aliwaua na kuchanganya damu yao na sadaka zao.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?
Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “Je mwadhani kuwa Wagalilaya hao walikuwa na dhambi kuliko Wagalilaya wengine wote ndiyo maana wamepatwa na mabaya hayo?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Hapana, nawaambia, lakini msipotubu, nanyi mtaangamia vivyo hivyo.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Au wale watu kumi na nane katika Siloamu ambao mnara ulianguka na kuwaua, mnafikiri wao walikuwa wenye dhambi zaidi kuliko watu wengine katika Yerusalemu?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Hapana, mimi nasema, lakini kama msipotubu, ninyi nyote pia mtaangamia.
6 He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Yesu aliwaambia mfano huu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini umepandwa katika shamba lake na alikwenda kutafuta matunda juu yake lakini hakupata.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Akamwambia mtunza bustani, 'Tazama, kwa miaka mitatu nimekuja na kujaribu kutafuta matunda kwenye mtini huu lakini sikupata. Uukate. Kwani ulete uharibifu wa ardhi?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
Mtunza bustani akajibu na kusema, 'uache mwaka huu ili niupalilie na kuweka mbolea juu yake.
9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.
Kama ukizaa matunda mwaka ujao, ni vema; lakini kama hautazaa, uukate!”'
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Sasa Yesu alikuwa akifundisha katika mojawapo ya Masinagogi wakati wa Sabato.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up [herself].
Tazama, alikuwepo mama mmoja ambaye kwa miaka kumi na minane alikuwa na rohomchafu wa udhaifu, na yeye alikuwa amepinda na hana uwezo kabisa wa kusimama.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
Yesu alipomwona, alimwita, akamwambia, “Mama, umewekwa huru kutoka kwenye udhaifu wako.”
13 And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Akaweka mikono yake juu yake, na mara mwili wake akajinyoosha na akamtukuza Mungu.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
Lakini mkuu wa sinagogi alikasirika kwa sababu Yesu alikuwa amemponya siku ya Sabato. Hivyo mtawala akajibu akawambia makutano, “Kuna siku sita ambazo ni lazima kufanya kazi. Njoni kuponywa basi, si katika siku ya Sabato. '
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or [his] ass from the stall, and lead [him] away to watering?
Bwana akamjibu na akasema, “wanafiki! Hakuna kila mmoja wenu kufungua punda wako au ng'ombe kutoka zizini na kuwaongoza kumpeleka kunywa siku ya Sabato?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Hivyo pia binti wa Abrahamu, ambaye Shetani amemfunga kwa miaka kumi na minane, je haikumpasa kifungo chake kisifunguliwe siku ya sabato?”
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Alipokuwa akisema maneno hayo, wale wote waliompinga waliona aibu, bali makutano wote wa wengine walishangilia kwa ajili ya mambo ya ajabu aliyotenda.
18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
Yesu akasema, “Ufalme wa Mungu unafanana na nini, na naweza kuulinganisha na nini?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Ni kama mbegu ya haradari aliyoitwaa mtu mmoja na kuipanda shambani mwake, na ikamea ikawa mti mkubwa, na ndege wa mbinguni wakajenga viota vyao katika matawi yake.
20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Tena akasema, “Niufananishe na nini ufalme wa Mungu?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Ni kama chachu ambayo mwanamke aliichukua na kuchanganyakwenye vipimo vitatu vya unga hata ukaumuka.”
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Yesu alitembelea kila mji na kijiji njiani akielekea Yerusalemu na kuwafundisha.
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Mtu mmoja akauliza, “Bwana, ni watu wachache tu watakaookolewa?” Hivyo akawaambia,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
“Jitahidi kuingia kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba, kwa sababu wengi watajaribu na hawataweza kuingia.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Mara baada ya mmiliki wa nyumba kusimama na kufunga mlango, basi mtasimama nje na kupiga hodi mlangoni na kusema, Bwana, Bwana, tufungulie yeye atajibu na kuwaambia, siwajui ninyi wala mtokako.'
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Ndipo mtasema, Tulikula na kunywa mbele yako na wewe ulifundisha katika mitaa yetu.”
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.
Lakini yeye atawajibu, `nawaambia, siwajui mtokako, ondokeni kwangu, ninyi watenda maovu!'
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out.
Kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno wakati mtakapowaona Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo na manabii wote katika ufalme wa Mungu, lakini ninyi wenyewe mumetupwa nje.
29 And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Watafika kutoka Mashariki, Magharibi, Kaskazini na Kusini, na kupumzika katika meza ya chakula cha jioni katika ufalme wa Mungu.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
Na tambua hili, wa mwisho ni wa kwanza na wa kwanza atakuwa wa mwisho.”
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Muda mfupi baadaye, baadhi ya Mafarisayo walikuja na kumwambia, “Nenda na ondoka hapa kwa sababu Herode anataka kukuua.”
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected.
Yesu akasema, “Nendeni mkamwambie yule mbweha, `Tazama, ninawafukuza pepo na kufanya uponyaji leo na kesho, na siku ya tatu nitatimiza lengo langu.
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Katika hali yoyote, ni muhimu kwa ajili yangu kuendelea leo, kesho, na siku iliyofuata, kwa vile haikubaliki kumuua nabii mbali na Yerusalemu.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, nani anawaua manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwenu. Mara ngapi nimetaka kuwakusanya watoto wenu kama vile kuku anavyokusanya vifaranga vyake chini ya mbawa zake, lakini humkulitaka hili.
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Tazama, nyumba yako imetelekezwa. Nami nawaambia, hamuwezi kuniona hata mtakaposema 'Amebarikiwa huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.'”
