Luke 13
1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate [Armed with javelin] had mixed 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 Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, 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, no, but unless you make teshuvah ·complete repentance·, you will all perish in the same way.
Hapana, nawaambia, lakini msipotubu, nanyi mtaangamia vivyo hivyo.
4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem [City of peace]?
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, no, but, unless you teshuvah ·turn repent·, you will all perish in the same way.”
Hapana, mimi nasema, lakini kama msipotubu, ninyi nyote pia mtaangamia.
6 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.
Yesu aliwaambia mfano huu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini umepandwa katika shamba lake na alikwenda kutafuta matunda juu yake lakini hakupata.
7 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, 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?’
Akamwambia mtunza bustani, 'Tazama, kwa miaka mitatu nimekuja na kujaribu kutafuta matunda kwenye mtini huu lakini sikupata. Uukate. Kwani ulete uharibifu wa ardhi?
8 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
Mtunza bustani akajibu na kusema, 'uache mwaka huu ili niupalilie na kuweka mbolea juu yake.
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
Kama ukizaa matunda mwaka ujao, ni vema; lakini kama hautazaa, uukate!”'
10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath ·To cease· day.
Sasa Yesu alikuwa akifundisha katika mojawapo ya Masinagogi wakati wa Sabato.
11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
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 When Yeshua [Salvation] saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
Yesu alipomwona, alimwita, akamwambia, “Mama, umewekwa huru kutoka kwenye udhaifu wako.”
13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.
Akaweka mikono yake juu yake, na mara mwili wake akajinyoosha na akamtukuza Mungu.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua [Salvation] had healed on the Sabbath ·To cease·, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath ·To cease· 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 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 ·To cease·, and lead him away to water?
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 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham [Father of a multitude], whom Satan [Adversary] had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
Hivyo pia binti wa Abrahamu, ambaye Shetani amemfunga kwa miaka kumi na minane, je haikumpasa kifungo chake kisifunguliwe siku ya sabato?”
17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude 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 He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare 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 put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
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 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
Tena akasema, “Niufananishe na nini ufalme wa Mungu?
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
Ni kama chachu ambayo mwanamke aliichukua na kuchanganyakwenye vipimo vitatu vya unga hata ukaumuka.”
22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem [City of peace].
Yesu alitembelea kila mji na kijiji njiani akielekea Yerusalemu na kuwafundisha.
23 One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
Mtu mmoja akauliza, “Bwana, ni watu wachache tu watakaookolewa?” Hivyo akawaambia,
24 “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
“Jitahidi kuingia kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba, kwa sababu wengi watajaribu na hawataweza kuingia.
25 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, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
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 you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
Ndipo mtasema, Tulikula na kunywa mbele yako na wewe ulifundisha katika mitaa yetu.”
27 He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
Lakini yeye atawajibu, `nawaambia, siwajui mtokako, ondokeni kwangu, ninyi watenda maovu!'
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], Jacob [Supplanter], and all the prophets, in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
Kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno wakati mtakapowaona Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo na manabii wote katika ufalme wa Mungu, lakini ninyi wenyewe mumetupwa nje.
29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
Watafika kutoka Mashariki, Magharibi, Kaskazini na Kusini, na kupumzika katika meza ya chakula cha jioni katika ufalme wa Mungu.
30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
Na tambua hili, wa mwisho ni wa kwanza na wa kwanza atakuwa wa mwisho.”
31 On that same day, some Pharisees [Separated] came, saying to him, “Get out of here, and go away, for Herod [Heroic] wants to kill you.”
Muda mfupi baadaye, baadhi ya Mafarisayo walikuja na kumwambia, “Nenda na ondoka hapa kwa sababu Herode anataka kukuua.”
32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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 go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem [City of peace].’
Katika hali yoyote, ni muhimu kwa ajili yangu kuendelea leo, kesho, na siku iliyofuata, kwa vile haikubaliki kumuua nabii mbali na Yerusalemu.
34 “Jerusalem [City of peace], Jerusalem [City of peace], 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!
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 to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]!’”
Tazama, nyumba yako imetelekezwa. Nami nawaambia, hamuwezi kuniona hata mtakaposema 'Amebarikiwa huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.'”
