Luka 13
1 Kumatungo yayoyayo, aakole baadhi aantu naamuie migulya Aagalilaya kuite upilato auabulagile nukuahalinkanya usakami ao nimasongilyo oa.
At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 U Yesu akaasukilya akaaila, “Ite mulungile Eagalilaya awa akete milandu kukila Agalilaya neangiza ehi ee indogoelyo apatilwe naya nemabe?
To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
3 Kutile, kumuila, lakini angamuhite kutubu, nunyenye mukulimiila uu, uu,
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4 Ite awa aantu nikumi namunana ku Siloamu nsoko umunana nauugwie nukuabulaga, musegile neanso aeanyamilandu kukila aantu niangiza ku Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5 Kutile unene, kutambula lakini angamuhite kutubu, unye mehinunyenye mukulimeela.
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
6 U Yesu wakaaila kumpyani eye, “Muntu ung'wi aukite mutini utemewe mukate amugunda wakwe aewendile kuduma inkali migulya lakini akaulya.
Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
7 Akamuila umutunzi wakianza, “Goza, kumyaka itatu nezile kugema kuduma inkali yakwe mumutini uwu lakini nikaulya. Uuteme. Kunsoko ukuleta uube mihe?
So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 Umutunzi wakianza wikaasukilya nukuaila; uleki ung'waka uwuite nuuginge nukuekila embolea migulya akwe.
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 Anga watuga inkali yakwe ung'waka nuuzile, iza, lakini angawahita kutuga uuteme!”
If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
10 Itungile u Yesu akatula amanyisa mujawapo wamatekeelo matungo a Sabato.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 Goza, aukole musungu ung'we nsoko myaka kumi na munana aukete nkolo mbee auneketu. Nung'wenso aewipendile aimigila anga uhumi lukulu nuwakimika.
and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.
12 U Yesu naumuine, wakamitanga, akamuila, “Musungu ukole huru kupuma muudhaifu wako.”
When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
13 Akaika imekono akwe migulya akwe, kuite umwiite wake ukagoloka akamukulya Itunda.
Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.
14 Uugwa u mukulu nua itekeelo ai utakile kunsoko u Yesu umugunile muntu luhiku nula kusupya, akasukiilya, aka atambuila i anyianza, “Mahiku mutandatu nazipie kituma u mulimo, uugwa pembyi, muagune mu mahiku nanso, hangi shanga mu luhiku nula Kusupya.”
But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Umukulu wikamusukilya nukumuila, “Uteele! Kuite kina ung'we anyu witung'wila endogwe akwe ang'wi ng'ombe kupuma mitando nukuatongela kuatwala kung'wa uluhiku lakukulya?
“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?
16 Kuite umunanso wang'wa Abrahamu, nsoko u Shetani umutungile kumyaka kumi na munana. Ite shangaaizepiene ikitungo kakwe kileke kutunguelwa luhiku lakukulya?”
Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 Nautuile kutambula imakani nanso, awa ehi naeakumugilya akahung'wa minyala, imakutano ehi neangiza ekalumbilya kunsoko amakani namakula naiwitumile.
When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
18 U Yesu wikatambula, “Utemi wang'wi Tunda wipyani nentuni, nakuwipyana nentuni?
Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
19 Anga embeu amuharadali naumihoile umuntu ung'wi nukumitemela mumugonda wakwe, ikazepa ekatula mute ukulu, ninyunyi yakilunde yekazenga itie yao mumatambe akwe.
It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
20 Ite akatambula, “Nuipyanye nintuni utemi wang'wi Tunda?
Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Inge ihanganga iigae umusungu nuehola wekahalinkanya muipimo itatu niyautu yekaumuka.”
It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
22 U Yesu augendee kila ikesale neisale munzila naulongoe ku Yerusalemu nukuamanyisa.
Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
23 Muntu ung'wi wikakolya, “Mukulu, antu akehu dune niakuokolewa?” Ite wakaaila.
“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
24 Ingimelye kingila kukiila mulango nuupinye kunsoko eedu akugema kingiila shangaakuweza.
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
25 Kuite anga umukulu wa nyumba anga wingile nukufunga umulango, ite mukimeka kunzi nukukua ehodi pamulango nukiitanga, mukulu, mukulu, kuluguile nung'wenso ukusukilya nukuaila, shanganumumanyile unye kunamupumile.”
After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 Ite mukulunga, Aekulie nukungwa ntongeela ako nuewe aukumanyisilye muisale yitu.”
Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Lakini nuanso ukuasukilya, nukuaila, shanganumumanyile kumupumiie, hegi pitalane, unye nimituma imelandu!
And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’
28 Ikutula kelelo nukukelya emino matungo nimekaaona u Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo neitumii ehi muutemi wang'wi Tunda lakini inye unyenye mugumilwe kunzi.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.
29 Akapika kupuma kukilya, kung'weli, kutakama, nukukuma, nukusupya. Pameza aandya yampende muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
30 Nengile nuamwisho ukutula wang'wandyo nuyu nuang'wandyo ukutula wa mwisho”
And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
31 Matungo makupe baadaye, ang'wi a mafarisayo aazile nukuaila, “Longola nahega apaite kunsoko u Herode utakile kuulaga.
At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
32 U Yesu akatambula, “Longoli mumuile umbweha, goza kuazunsa aapepo nukituma kukamya ilelo numudau, nuluhiku lakatatu kutimilya ilengo lane.
But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’
33 Kuhali ehi nanso, inge muhimu kunsoko ane kendelea eleleye, numudau, nuluhiku nulutyatie, kunsoko shangaigombigwe kumubulaga umitumi kule ni Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, nyenyu nukuabulaga eitumi nukuakua imagwe awa naatumilwe kitalanyu. Kanga naetakile kumilingila eana anyu anga inkuku nilingila eana akwe pihe ambaa yakwe, lakini shangamikalegomba ile.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
35 Goza, inyumba ako alekwa. Nunene kumuila, shangamuhumile kuona nemekatambula ubarikiwe uyu nuzile kulina lang'wa Mukulu.
Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
