Luke 13
1 There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abategeeza Yesu nga Piraato bwe yatta Abagaliraaya, omusaayi gwabwe n’agutabula mu biweebwayo byabwe.
2 And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulowooza nti Abagaliraaya abo baali boonoonyi nnyo okusinga Abagaliraaya abalala bonna, balyoke baboneebone batyo?
3 I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe mugenda kuzikirira ng’abo bwe baazikirira.
4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
Ate bali ekkumi n’omunaana omunaala gwa Sirowamu be gwagwako, ne gubatta, mulowooza be baali basinga obwonoonyi okusinga abantu abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi bonna?
5 I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe bwe mugenda okuzikirira bwe mutyo.”
6 He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
Awo Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyasimba omutiini mu nnimiro ye. N’agendangayo okugulambula okulaba obanga gubazeeko ebibala, n’asanga nga tegubazeeko kibala na kimu.
7 Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and have found none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Kyeyava alagira omusajja we amulimira ennimiro eyo nti, ‘Omuti guno gutemewo. Kubanga gino emyaka esatu nga nambula omuti guno, naye tegubalangako kibala na kimu. Gwemalira bwereere ettaka lyaffe.’
8 And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;
Omulimi we n’addamu nti, ‘Mukama wange, tuguleke tetugutemawo. Ka tuguweeyo omwaka gumu, nzija kugutemeratemera era nguteekeko n’ebigimusa.
9 and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
Bwe gulibala ebibala gye bujja, kiriba kirungi! Naye bwe gutalibala, olwo noolyoka ogutemawo.’”
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Awo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti Yesu yali ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro,
11 And lo! there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent together, and wholly unable to lift herself up.
ne wabaawo omukazi eyaliko omuzimu ogwamulwaza okumala emyaka kkumi na munaana, nga yeewese emirundi ebiri era nga tasobola kwegolola.
12 And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity.
Yesu n’amulaba, n’amuyita n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu, owonyezeddwa obulwadde bwo.”
13 And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she stood upright, and gave glory to God.
N’amukwatako. Amangwago omukazi ne yeegolola n’ayimirira bulungi, n’atendereza Katonda!
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answering, being filled with indignation because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it is proper to work; on those therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day.
Naye omukulembeze w’ekkuŋŋaaniro eryo n’anyiiga nnyo, kubanga Yesu yawonya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. N’agamba ekibiina nti, “Mu wiiki mulimu ennaku mukaaga, muyinza okujjanga mu nnaku ezo ne muwonyezebwa, naye so si ku Ssabbiiti!”
15 But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away and water him?
Mukama waffe n’amuddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Buli omu ku mmwe tasumulula nte ye oba ndogoyi ye ku Ssabbiiti n’agitwala okunywa amazzi?
16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo! for eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
Naye si kituufu omukazi ono, muwala wa Ibulayimu, okusumululwa ku Ssabbiiti mu busibe bwa Setaani bw’amazeemu emyaka ekkumi n’omunaana?”
17 And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Bwe yayogera bw’atyo abaali bamuwakanya bonna ne baswala, naye ekibiina ky’abantu bonna ne bajjula essanyu olw’ebintu eby’ekitalo bye yakola.
18 He said therefore, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
Awo Yesu kyeyava abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bufaanana na ki? Mbugeraageranye na ki?
19 It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.
Bufaanana na kaweke ka kaladaali omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro ye. Kaamera ne kavaamu omuti, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga ne zituula ku matabi gaagwo.”
20 And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Ate era n’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda mbugeraageranye na ki?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Buliŋŋanga ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yatabulira mu bipimo by’obuwunga bisatu okutuusa obuwunga bwonna lwe bwazimbulukuka.”
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
Awo Yesu n’ayita mu bibuga ne mu bubuga; yagendanga ayigiriza ng’ali ku lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi.
23 And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,
Ne wabaawo eyeewuunya nti, “Mukama waffe, abantu abalirokolebwa nga baliba batono?” Yesu n’addamu nti,
24 Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
“Mufube okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda kubanga mbagamba nti, bangi balyagala okuyingira naye tebalisobola.
25 When once the master of the house shall have risen, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know not whence ye are;
Nannyinimu bw’alisituka n’aggalawo oluggi, mugenda kubeera bweru nga mukonkona nga bwe mwegayirira nti, ‘Mukama waffe, tuggulirewo.’ Agenda kubaanukula nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo.’
26 then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets.
Nammwe muliddamu nti, ‘Twalyanga naawe era twanywanga ffenna, era wayigirizanga mu nguudo z’ewaffe.’
27 And he will say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo. Munviire mwenna abakozi b’ebitali bya bituukirivu.’
28 There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth there, when ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.
Era waliba okukuba ebiwoobe n’okuluma obujiji bwe muliraba Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo ne bannabbi bonna nga bali mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda, naye nga mmwe musuulibbwa ebweru.
29 And from the east and the west and the north and the south will men come, and take their places at table in the kingdom of God.
Kubanga abantu baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, ne bava ne mu bukiikakkono ne mu bukiikaddyo, ne batuula ku mmeeza mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
30 And lo! there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
Era laba, abooluvannyuma baliba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye baliba abooluvannyuma.”
31 In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abamu ku Bafalisaayo abajja eri Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Tambula ove wano, kubanga Kerode ayagala kukutta.”
32 And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I make an end.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mugambe ekibe ekyo nti laba ngoba baddayimooni, n’okuwonya abalwadde, leero, n’enkya, era ku lunaku olwokusatu ndimaliriza.
33 But to-day and to-morrow and the next day I must go on; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.
Naye leero, n’enkya, ne luli nsaana mbeere ku lugendo lwange nga ntambula, kubanga tekisoboka nnabbi okufiira ebweru wa Yerusaalemi!
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
“Ggwe Yerusaalemi, ggwe Yerusaalemi, atta bannabbi, n’okuba amayinja abo ababa batumiddwa gy’oli, emirundi nga mingi nnyo gye njagadde okukuŋŋaanya abaana bo ng’enkoko bw’ekuŋŋaanya obwana bwayo mu biwaawaatiro byayo, naye n’ogaana!
35 Lo! your house is abandoned to you. I declare to you, Ye will not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kale laba ennyumba yammwe erekeddwa awo. Era mbagamba nti temugenda kuddayo kundaba okutuusa ekiseera lwe kirituuka ne mugamba nti, ‘Aweereddwa omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.’”
