Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
Kuli eecho chiindi, bamwi bantu aawo bakamwaambila aatala abana Galilii aabo balaabulowa Payilate mbwakavwaangania azipayizyo zyabo.
2 ‘Do you suppose,’ replied Jesus, ‘that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
Jesu waskasandula wati kulimbabo, “Muyeeya kuti bana Galilii aaba mbibakali basizibi loko kwiinda kwiinda bamwi bana Galili na nkaambo kakupenzegwa kwabo ooku? Peepe, ndamwaambila.
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
Pesi kuti temwasanduka moonse muyofwidilila munzila njiyeeyo.
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
Nakuti aabo bantu balikumi lilamusanu abatatu baku Silowamu aabo bakawidwa bulambo bulamfu bwabajaya, muyeeya kuti bakali basizibi loko kwiinda bamwi baalumi mu Jelusalema?
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.’
Peepe. Ndamwaambila. Pesi kuti temwasanduka, moonse muyoonyonyooka.”
6 And Jesus told them this parable – ‘A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
Jesu wakaluula chikozyanisyo eechi, “Umwi muntu wakaganka mukuyu muchilili chakwe chamasansa mpawo wakaboola kuzoolanga muchelo alinguwo pesi taakwe takawujana pe.
7 So he said to his gardener “Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?”
Mwaalumi wakati kuli sichilili, 'Langa, ndakasika minyaka iitatu nkelanga muchelo kumukuyu ooyu peesi taakwe nindakawujana pe. Ugonke. Nkaambo nzi kuuleka kunyonyoona nyika?
8 “Leave it this one year more, Sir,” the man answered, “until I have dug round it and manured it.
Sichilili wakasandula wati, 'Uleke uuno munyaka ndiwusyide mumbali ndiwubike mbolezi.
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.”’
Kuti wazozyala muchelo mumnyaka uuboola sambubo, pesi kuti kuutazyede lubo, uzowugonka!”
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
Lino Jesu wakalikuyiisya kulichimwi chikombelo mubuzuba bwa Sabata.
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
Amubone, kwali mwanakazi wakali amuuya mubi wakubula nguzu kwamyaaka kkumi lilamusanu ayitatu alimwi wakali vundeme nkaambo taakali kukonzya pe kwiimikila kabotu.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, ‘Woman, you are released from your weakness.’
Aawo Jesu naakamubona, wakamwiita wati, “Yoomwanakazi, waponesegwa kuchilwazi chako chakubula nguzu.”
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
Wakabikka maanza aakwe aalinguwe mpawaawo wakavundamuka akwiima kabotu mpawo wakalumbayi Leza.
14 But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, ‘There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.’
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.”
15 ‘You hypocrites!’ the Master answered him. ‘Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
Mwami wakamusandula wati, “Nubawupuupi! Tawo na uunga waangununa donki na ng'ombe yakwe kuzwa mubbondo akwiitola kuyonywa maanzi mubuzuba bwa Sabata?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?’
Ooyu alakwe mwana wa Abbulahamu, ooyo Satani ngwaakangide kwaminyaka iilikumi lilamusanu ayitatu, tayelede na kuti bwaange bwakwe bwaangununwe mubuzuba bwa Sabata
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
Naakali kwaamba zintu eezi, boonse aabo bakali kukazyania aawe bakawusa, pesi nkamu yabantu yakabotela aatala azyoonse zibotu nzyakachita
18 So Jesus said, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Bwami bwa Leza buli biyeni, alubo ndikonzya lkubukozyanisya anyamaanzi?
19 It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.’
Bulimbuli nseke yamusitadi eeyo muntu njaakabweza wakwiiminza muchilili chakwe, yakakomena yaba musamu mupati, mpawo tuyuni twayaka zizubo zyato amitabi yawo.”
20 And again Jesus said, ‘To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
Alubo wakati, “Niinzi nchindikonzya kukozyanisya bwami bwa Leza?
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
Bukozyenie aabusweezyo bwakabwezegwa amwanakazi wabuvwelengania mumyeelwe iitatu yabusu, mpawo bwafuta boonse.”
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
Mpawo Jesu waswayila madolopo amyuunzi akuyabubayiisya we kayabutozya ku Jelusalema.
23 ‘Master,’ someone asked, ‘are there but few in the path of salvation?’ And Jesus answered,
Umwi wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, mbache biyo na beelede kuyofutulwa?” Wakati kulimbabo,
24 ‘Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
“Muzumanane kuyoonjila mukalyango kamanikide, nkaambo ndamwaambila nywebo, biingi bayoyezya kunjila pesi tabakoyokonzya pe.
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, “Sir, open the door for us.” His answer will be – “I do not know where you come from.”
Naakubuka akujala mulyango mwani ng'anda, aawo muyoyimikila aanze kamukonkomona mulyango kamuti, 'Mwami, Mwami, tujulile tunjile.' Uyoomusandula akatedi kulondinywe, 'Nsimwizi pe nakuti mwazwida kuli.'
26 Then you will begin to say “We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,” and his reply will be –
Mpawo muyosandula kamuti, 'Twakalya akunywa kunembo lyako, mpawo wakayiisya mumigwagwa yesu.'
27 “I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.”
Pesi we uyoosandula kati, 'Ndati kulindinywe, nsimwizi pe nkumuzwa. Amuzwe kulindime nywebo nobasizibi!'
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
Kuyooba kulila akuluma ntwino aawo nimuyoobona Abbulahamu, Ayizeki, Jakobo abamwi boonse basinsimi mubwami bwa Leza, pesi nywe - muyosowelwa aanze.
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
Bayoozwa kumbo, kujwe, kumusanza akunyika bazokkale atafula mubwami bwa Leza.
30 There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!’
Mpawo amuchizibe eechi, bakumamanino mbibayoba bakusanguna, mpawo bakusanguna bayooba bakumamanino.”
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, ‘Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.’
Musule buniini achiindi eecho, bamwi ba Falisi bakasika bati kulinguwe, “Chija uzwe omuno uyende nkaambo Heloda uyanda kukujaya.”
32 But Jesus answered, ‘Go and say to that fox “Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.”
Jesu wakati, “Amukamwaambili ooyo mwaalumi kuti, 'Langa, ndiyabugwisya myuuya mibi akusilika bachiswa sunu ajuunza mpawo zoona ndinooli ndasisya makanze aangu.'
33 But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
Amuliili nzila, kuleelede kuti ndiinkile kunembo sunu, juunza, azoona nkaambo tazitambuliki pe kujaya munsimi katamo mu Jelusalema.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
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.
35 Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”’
Langa, ng'anda yako yasiigwa. Ndati kulinduwe, tokoyondibona pe mane ukatedi, “Ulaachoolwe ooyo uuza muzina lya Mwami.'”
