Luka 13
1 Kumwanya ogwo abhanu nibhamubhwila ingulu ya Abhagalilaya bhanu Pilato etile no okusasha amanyinga gebhwe ne ebhitambo bhyebhwe.
There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu nabhasubhya nabhabhwila ati, “Omwitogela ati Abhagalilaya abho bhaliga bhali ne ebhibhi okukila Abhagalilaya abhandi bhona ati nicho chakola bhabhone amabhibhi ago?
And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?
3 Pai, enibhabhwila ati, nawe emwe ona mukabhula okuta, emwe ona omusingalika kutyo.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
4 Amo bhaliya bhanu ekumi na munana eliya Siloamu bhanu bhagwiliwe no echisonge nigubheta, omwiganilisha ati bhaliga bhana ebhibhi kukila abhanu bhandi mu Yersalemu?
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?
5 Pai, anye enaika ati, nawe mukabhula okuta, emwe ona omusingalika.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
6 Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu, “Omunu umwi aliga ayambile liti lyo mtini mwisambu lyae, neya najokulolako amatwasho kwiti okwo nawe atagabhwene.
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.
7 Nabhwila unu aliga nalimilila omugunda, 'Lola kwe emyaka esatu enijaga okulegeja okulonda amatwasho kwiti kunu nawe nitagabhonako! Nuliteme. Kubhaki linyamule lisambu?
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?
8 Oyo alimililaga omugunda nasubhya naika ati, 'nulisigeo omwaka gunu koleleki nilisejele niliteleko imboleya.
And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;
9 Labha likatwasha omwaka gunu oguja, ni kisi; nawe labha likabhula okutwasha, uliteme!”'
and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Mbe oli, Yesu aliga neigisha mu limwi lya Amasinagogi akatungu ka Isabhato.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 Lola, aliga alio omugasi umwi kwe myaka ekumi na munana aliga ali na lisambwa ebhibhi elyo obhunyoke, omugasi oyo aliga ekotele na atali na bhutulo chimwi obhwo kwimelegulu.
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.
12 Yesu ejile amulola, namubhilikila, namubhwila ati, “Mai, watesulilwa okusoka mubhunyoke bhwao.”
And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity.
13 Natula amabhoko gaye ingulu yaye, achalao omubhili gwaye ngugololoka nalamya na Nyamuanga. Nawe omukulu wa lisinagogi nabhiililwa kulwokubha Yesu amuosishe kulusiku lwa Isabhato.
And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she stood upright, and gave glory to God.
14 Nio omwangalisi nasubhya nabhwila liijo ati, “Jilio naku mukaga ejokukolela emilimu. Muje ukuosibhwa amalwaye jinsiku ejo, musige okukola kutyo kulusiku lwa Isabhato.'
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.
15 Omukama namusubhya naika ati, “abhanafiki! atalio umwi kwimwe unu kasibhula insikili yaye amo ing'a okusoka muchigoli akaisila okunywa amanji kulusiku lwa Isabhato?
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?
16 Mbe omugasi unu omuasha wa Abrahamu, atengene okusulumulwa okusoka mwibhoyelo lya Shetani linu lyaliga limubhoyele myaka ekumi na munana kulusiku lwa Isabhato?
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?
17 Ao aliga achaika emisango ejo, bhona bhanu bhaliga nibhamuganya nibheswala, tali liijo lyona na abhandi nibhakondelelwa ingulu ya amagambo gokulugusha ganu akolele.
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.
18 Yesu naika ati, “Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhususana naki, na enitula okubhususanya na chinuki?
He said therefore, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 Obhukama bhunu obhususana na imbibho yo omuharadali eyo omunu agegele nayamba mumugunda gwaye, nimela nilibha eti enene, na jinyonyi ja mulutumba nijumbaka amasuli gajo mumatabhi galyo.
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.
20 Naika lindi ati, “Nibhususanye naki obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga?
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Obhususana ne echifwimbya echo omugasi agegele nasasha na amakolele gasatu agajinshano nijimala nijitumba.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Namala Yesu nalabha bhuli musi na bhuli chijiji neigishaga ali munjila yokugenda Yerusalemu.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Omunu umwi nabhusha ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, ni bhanu bhatoto bhanu bhalichunguka?” Kulwejo nabhabhwila ati,
And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,
24 “Mwikomeshe okwingila mulabhile mumulyango omufunde, kulwokubha abhafu bhalilegeja nawe bhatalingila.
Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Akefula kanya nyumba nemelegulu negala omulyango, mbe mulimelegulu anja no okukonona kumulyango nimwaika ati, 'Kanyamusi, Kanyamusi, chigulile,' omwene alibhasubhya naika ati, 'nitabhamenya nolwo eyo okusoka.'
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;
26 Mbe nio mulyaika ati, 'Chaliga nichilya imbele yao kawe nufundishaga mubhyalo bhyeswe.'
then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets.
27 Nawe omwenene alibhasubhya ati, 'enibhabhwila ati nitakubhamenya amwi neyo omukusoka, musoke kwanye emwe bhanu omukola ebhijabhi!'
And he will say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 Kulibhao okulila no okuyekenya ameno mulilola Abramu, Isaka, Yakobo na abhalagi bhona mu bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga, nawe emwe mulasilwe anja.
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.
29 Abhanu bhalikinga okusoka Ebhutuluka, Ebhugwa, Mubhuanga na Mumalimbe, nibhafung'ama kumeja ye ebhilyo bhya kegolo mu bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
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.
30 Mbe mumenye linu, obhokumalisha bhalibha bhokwamba, na abhokwamba bhalibha bhokumalisha.”
And lo! there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
31 Gwejile gwalabhao mwanya mufui, nibhaja Abhafarisayo abhandi nibhamubhwila ati, “Libhata osokanu kulwokubha Herode Kenda okukwita.”
In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.
32 Yesu naika ati, “Mugende mubhwile likara elyo, 'Lola, enibhilimya amasambwa nokuosha abhanu lelo na mutondo, na kulunaku lwa kasatu enikumisha emisango jani.
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.
33 Kumwanya gwonagwona, nikisi kwanye okugendelela lelo, mutondo ne ejweli, kulwokubha jitakwendwa okwita omulagi alikula na Yerusalemu.
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.
34 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, awe unu wetile abhalagi nokubhabhuma na amabhui bhanu bhatumilwe kwimwe. Kwiya ng'endo elinga ninendaga okusumbya abhana bhao amwi lwakutyo ing'oko eisumbya ebhyanakoko bhyayo mumbabha jayo, nawe mwaliga mutakwenda.
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!
35 Lola inyumba yao yasigwa yenyele. Mbe enikubhwila, mutachandola lindi okukinga olwo mulyaika ati, 'Ana amabhando oyo ejile kwi Sina lyo Omukama.”'
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.
