Luke 7
1 (And since *N+kO) He had completed all the declarations of Him in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.
Kwathi eseqedile amazwi akhe wonke endlebeni zabantu, wangena eKapenawume.
2 Of a centurion then a certain servant sick being was about to die who was to him valued highly.
Njalo inceku yenduna yekhulu ethile, eyayiligugu kuyo, yayigula isizakufa.
3 Having heard then about Jesus he sent to Him elders of the Jews begging Him that having come He may save the servant of him.
Kwathi isizwile ngoJesu, yathuma kuye abadala bamaJuda, imcela, ukuze eze asilise inceku yayo.
4 And having come to Jesus they were begging Him earnestly saying that Worthy he is to whom (You will grant *N+KO) this;
Kwathi bona, sebefikile kuJesu, bamncenga kakhulu, besithi: Yona kufanele ukuthi uyenzele lokhu;
5 he loves for the nation of us and the synagogue he himself built for us.
ngoba iyasithanda isizwe sakithi, njalo yiyo eyasakhela isinagoge.
6 And Jesus was going with them. Already then when he not far being distant from the house sent (to him *ko) friends the centurion saying to Him; Lord, not do be troubled; not for worthy I am that under the roof of mine You may come,
UJesu wasehamba labo. Kwathi engasekhatshana lendlu, induna yekhulu yathuma abangane kuye, isithi kuye: Nkosi, ungazikhathazi; ngoba kangifanele ukuthi ungene ngaphansi kophahla lwami;
7 therefore neither myself counted I worthy to You to come. but do say a word, and (let be healed *N+kO) the servant of mine.
yikho kangizibonanga ngifanele ukuza kuwe; kodwa khuluma ngelizwi, njalo inceku yami izasiliswa.
8 Also for I myself a man am under authority appointed, having under myself soldiers. and I say to this [one]; do go, and he goes, and to another; do come, and he comes, and to the servant of mine; do enact this, and he enacts [it].
Ngoba lami ngingumuntu obekwe ngaphansi kwamandla, ngilamabutho ngaphansi kwami, njalo ngithi kuleli: Hamba, njalo lihambe; lakwelinye: Woza, njalo lize; lencekwini yami: Yenza lokhu, njalo ikwenze.
9 Having heard then these things Jesus marveled at him; and having turned to the following Him crowd He said; I say to you, (not even *NK+o) in Israel such great faith did I find.
Kwathi uJesu ezizwa lezizinto wamangala ngayo, watshibilika, wathi exukwini elimlandelayo: Ngithi kini, angitholanga ukholo olungaka ngitsho lakoIsrayeli.
10 And having returned to the house the [ones] having been sent found the (ailing *K) servant in good health.
Kwathi ababethunyiwe sebebuyele endlini bafica inceku eyayigula isisilile.
11 And it came to pass on (the *N+kO) next [day] (He went *N+kO) into a town being called Nain, and were going with Him the disciples of Him (many *K) and a crowd great.
Kwasekusithi ngelanga elilandelayo, waya emzini othiwa yiNayini; abafundi bakhe abanengi basebehamba laye, lexuku elikhulu.
12 As then He drew near to the gate of the town, also behold was being carried out [one] having died only begotten son from the mother of him, and she was a widow; And a crowd of the town considerable was with her.
Kwathi esesondela esangweni lomuzi, njalo khangela, kwakulofileyo ethwelwe kuphunywa, indodana engeyodwa kanina, futhi yena engumfelokazi; lexuku elikhulu lomuzi lalilaye.
13 And having seen her the Lord was moved with compassion on her and He said to her; Not do weep.
INkosi imbona, yasisiba lesihelo ngaye, yathi kuye: Ungakhali.
14 And having come up He touched the bier; those then bearing [it] stopped; And He said; Young man, to you I say, do be arised.
Yasondela yathinta ithala; abalithweleyo basebesima; yasisithi: Jaha, ngithi kuwe: Vuka!
15 And sat up the dead [man] and began to speak. and He gave him to the mother of him.
Ofileyo wasevuka wahlala waqala ukukhuluma. Yasimnika unina.
16 Seized then fear (all, *N+kO) and they were glorifying God saying that A prophet great (was raised up *N+kO) among us! and that Has visited God the people of Him!
Ukwesaba kwasekubabamba bonke, basebemdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Umprofethi omkhulu usevukile phakathi kwethu; lokuthi: UNkulunkulu uhambele abantu bakhe.
17 And went out report this in all Judea concerning Him and (in *ko) in all the surrounding region.
Le indumela ngaye yasiphumela kuyo yonke iJudiya, lakuso sonke isigaba esizingelezeleyo.
18 And brought word to John the disciples of him concerning all these things.
Abafundi bakaJohane basebembikela ngazo zonke lezizinto.
19 And having called near two certain the disciples of him John sent [them] to the (Lord *N+KO) saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or (another *NK+o) are we to look for?
UJohane wasebizela kuye ababili abathile kubafundi bakhe wabathuma kuJesu, esithi: Wena unguye ozayo yini, kumbe silindele omunye?
20 Having come then to Him the men said; John the Baptist (has sent *N+kO) us to you saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
Lamadoda esefikile kuye athi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi usithumile kuwe, esithi: Wena unguye ozayo yini, kumbe silindele omunye?
21 At (that very *N+kO) (now *k) hour He healed many of diseases and afflictions and spirits evil and to blind many He granted to see.
Langalelohola wasilisa abanengi ezifweni lemikhuhlaneni lakubomoya ababi, labayiziphofu abanengi wabapha ukubona.
22 And answering (Jesus *k) He said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you have seen and heard: (that *ko) Blind receive sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, (and *no) deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelised,
UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Hambani limtshele uJohane izinto elizibonileyo lelizizwileyo: Ukuthi iziphofu zibuye zibone, iziqhuli ziyahamba, amalephero ayahlanjululwa, izacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, abayanga bayatshunyayezwa ivangeli;
23 And blessed is who might not shall be offended in Me myself.
njalo ubusisiwe loba ngubani ongakhubekiyo ngami.
24 When were departing then the messengers of John He began to speak to (the crowds *NK+o) concerning John: What (did you go out *N+kO) into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
Kwathi sezihambile izithunywa zikaJohane, waqala ukukhuluma lamaxuku ngoJohane esithi: Laphuma laya enkangala ukuyabonani? Umhlanga onyikinywa ngumoya yini?
25 But what (have you gone out *N+kO) to see? A man in fine clothing arrayed? Behold those in clothing splendid and in luxury living in the palaces are.
Kanti laphumela ukuyabonani? Umuntu owembethe izembatho ezicolekileyo yini? Khangelani, abembethe ezikhazimulayo baphila mnandi basezindlini zamakhosi.
26 But what (have you gone out *N+kO) to see? A prophet? Yes I say to you; and [one] more excellent than a prophet.
Pho laphumela ukuyabonani? Umprofethi yini? Yebo, ngithi kini: Loba odlula kakhulu umprofethi.
27 This is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold (I myself *k) I send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of you who will prepare the way of You before You.’
Lo nguye okubhalwe ngaye ukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
28 I say (for *k) to you; a greater among [those] born of women (prophet *KO) (than John *N+KO) no [one] is. yet the least in the kingdom of God greater than he is.
Ngoba ngithi kini: Phakathi kwabazelwe ngabesifazana kakho umprofethi omkhulu kuloJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa omncinyane embusweni kaNkulunkulu mkhulu kulaye.
29 And all the people having heard even the tax collectors declared as righteous God having been baptized [with] the baptism of John.
Labantu bonke bekuzwa, labathelisi, bathi ulungile uNkulunkulu, sebebhabhathiziwe ngobhabhathizo lukaJohane;
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers the counsel of God rejected as to themselves not having been baptized by him.
kodwa abaFarisi lezazumthetho balala icebo likaNkulunkulu bemelene labo, ngoba bengabhabhathizwanga nguye.
31 (said now Lord *K) To what therefore will I liken the men of the generation this And to what are they like?
Yasisithi iNkosi: Pho-ke abantu balesisizukulwana ngizabafananisa lani? Kanti bafanana lani?
32 Like are they to little children in the marketplace sitting and calling to each other (one *no) (and *k) (says: *N+k+o) We piped to you, and not you did dance; we sang a dirge (to you *k) and not you did weep.
Banjengabantwana abancane abahlezi emakethe bememezana besithi: Silitshayele umhlanga, kodwa kalisinanga; silililele, kodwa kalikhalanga.
33 Has come for John the Baptist (neither *N+kO) eating bread nor drinking wine and you say; A demon He has.
Ngoba uJohane uMbhabhathizi wafika engadli isinkwa njalo enganathi iwayini, laselisithi: Uledimoni;
34 Has come the Son of Man eating and drinking, and you say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.
iNdodana yomuntu ifikile isidla, inatha, laselisithi: Khangelani, umuntu oligovu lesinathi sewayini, umngane wabathelisi lezoni.
35 And was justified wisdom by all the children of her.
Kodwa inhlakanipho ithiwa ilungile ngabantwana bayo bonke.
36 Was asking now one Him of the Pharisees that He may eat with him. and having entered into (the house *N+kO) of the Pharisee (He was sat. *N+KO)
Omunye wabaFarisi wasemcela ukuthi adle laye; esengenile endlini yomFarisi wahlala ekudleni.
37 And behold a woman who was in the city a sinner. (And *no) she having known that (reclines back *N+kO) in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil
Njalo khangela, owesifazana kulowomuzi, owayeyisoni, esekwazi ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ekudleni endlini yomFarisi, waletha umfuma we-alibasta owamagcobo,
38 and having stood behind at the feet of Him weeping with the tears she began to wet the feet of Him and with the hairs of the head of her she was wiping [them] and was kissing the feet of Him and was anointing [them] with the fragrant oil.
wasesima eceleni kwenyawo zakhe ngemva kwakhe ekhala, waqala ukuthambisa inyawo zakhe ngenyembezi, wazesula ngenwele zekhanda lakhe, wanga inyawo zakhe, wazigcoba ngamagcobo.
39 Having seen now the Pharisee the [one] having invited Him he spoke within himself saying; This if He was prophet, he have known then would who and what the woman [is] who touches Him for a sinner she is.
Kuthe umFarisi obemnxusile ekubona wakhulumela ngaphakathi kwakhe wathi: Lo, uba ebengumprofethi, ngabe uyamazi ukuthi ungubani lokuthi unjani lo owesifazana omthintayo, ngoba uyisoni.
40 And answering Jesus said to him; Simon, I have to you something to say. And; Teacher do say [it], he says.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Simoni, ngilengizakukhuluma lawe. Yena wasesithi: Khuluma, Mfundisi.
41 Two debtors there were to a creditor certain. the one was owing denarii five hundred, and the other fifty.
Kwakukhona ababili ababelezikwelede kumkweledisi othile; omunye wayelomlandu wabodenariyo abangamakhulu amahlanu, lomunye abangamatshumi amahlanu.
42 Nothing were having (now *k) they to pay to both he forgave. Which therefore of them (do tell *k) more will love him
Kwathi bengelakho okokuhlawula ngakho, wabaxolela bobabili. Kambe nguwuphi kubo, tshono, ozamthanda okwedlulisileyo?
43 Answering (now *ko) Simon said; I take it that [he] to whom the most he forgave. And He said to him; Rightly You have judged.
USimoni wasephendula wathi: Ngicabanga ngulowo amxolela okwedlulisileyo. Wathi kuye: Wahlulele ngokuqonda.
44 And having turned to the woman to Simon He was saying; See you this the woman? I entered of you into the house, water to Me for (the *ko) feet (of mine *k) not you gave; with her however tears she wet My feet and with the hair (the head *K) of her wiped [them].
Wasetshibilikela kowesifazana, wathi kuSimoni: Uyambona lo owesifazana yini? Ngingene endlini yakho, amanzi enyaweni zami kawunginikanga; kodwa yena uzithambisile inyawo zami ngenyembezi zakhe, wazesula ngenwele zekhanda lakhe.
45 A kiss to Me not you gave; she herself however from which [time] I came in not she has ceased kissing My feet.
Kawunganganga; kodwa yena, lokhu ngingenile, kayekelanga ukwanga inyawo zami.
46 With oil the head of Mine not you did anoint; she herself however with fragrant oil anointed the feet of Mine.
Ngamagcobo ikhanda lami kawuligcobanga; kodwa yena ugcobile inyawo zami ngamakha.
47 of this Because I say to you, have been forgiven the sins of her many, for she loved much; to whom however little is forgiven, little he loves.
Ngenxa yalokhu, ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe ezinengi zithethelelwe, ngoba uthandile kakhulu; kodwa lowo othethelelwa kancinyane, uthanda kancinyane.
48 He said then to her; Have been forgiven your sins.
Wasesithi kuye: Zithethelelwe izono zakho.
49 And began those reclining to say within themselves; Who this is who even sins forgives?
Ababehlezi laye ekudleni basebeqala ukukhulumisana bodwa besithi: Ngubani lo othethelela lezono?
50 He said then to the woman; The faith of You has saved you; do go in peace.
Wasesithi kowesifazana: Ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
