Luka 13
1 Kumwanya ogwo abhanu nibhamubhwila ingulu ya Abhagalilaya bhanu Pilato etile no okusasha amanyinga gebhwe ne ebhitambo bhyebhwe.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed 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?
Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Pai, enibhabhwila ati, nawe emwe ona mukabhula okuta, emwe ona omusingalika kutyo.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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 killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Pai, anye enaika ati, nawe mukabhula okuta, emwe ona omusingalika.
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
6 Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu, “Omunu umwi aliga ayambile liti lyo mtini mwisambu lyae, neya najokulolako amatwasho kwiti okwo nawe atagabhwene.
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.
7 Nabhwila unu aliga nalimilila omugunda, 'Lola kwe emyaka esatu enijaga okulegeja okulonda amatwasho kwiti kunu nawe nitagabhonako! Nuliteme. Kubhaki linyamule lisambu?
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?’
8 Oyo alimililaga omugunda nasubhya naika ati, 'nulisigeo omwaka gunu koleleki nilisejele niliteleko imboleya.
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 Labha likatwasha omwaka gunu oguja, ni kisi; nawe labha likabhula okutwasha, uliteme!”'
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 Mbe oli, Yesu aliga neigisha mu limwi lya Amasinagogi akatungu ka Isabhato.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
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.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Yesu ejile amulola, namubhilikila, namubhwila ati, “Mai, watesulilwa okusoka mubhunyoke bhwao.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your 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.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
14 Nio omwangalisi nasubhya nabhwila liijo ati, “Jilio naku mukaga ejokukolela emilimu. Muje ukuosibhwa amalwaye jinsiku ejo, musige okukola kutyo kulusiku lwa Isabhato.'
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, 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 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?
Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
16 Mbe omugasi unu omuasha wa Abrahamu, atengene okusulumulwa okusoka mwibhoyelo lya Shetani linu lyaliga limubhoyele myaka ekumi na munana kulusiku lwa Isabhato?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage 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.
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.
18 Yesu naika ati, “Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhususana naki, na enitula okubhususanya na chinuki?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? 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 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.”
20 Naika lindi ati, “Nibhususanye naki obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga?
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
21 Obhususana ne echifwimbya echo omugasi agegele nasasha na amakolele gasatu agajinshano nijimala nijitumba.”
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Namala Yesu nalabha bhuli musi na bhuli chijiji neigishaga ali munjila yokugenda Yerusalemu.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Omunu umwi nabhusha ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, ni bhanu bhatoto bhanu bhalichunguka?” Kulwejo nabhabhwila ati,
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
24 “Mwikomeshe okwingila mulabhile mumulyango omufunde, kulwokubha abhafu bhalilegeja nawe bhatalingila.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell 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 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.’
26 Mbe nio mulyaika ati, 'Chaliga nichilya imbele yao kawe nufundishaga mubhyalo bhyeswe.'
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Nawe omwenene alibhasubhya ati, 'enibhabhwila ati nitakubhamenya amwi neyo omukusoka, musoke kwanye emwe bhanu omukola ebhijabhi!'
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Abhanu bhalikinga okusoka Ebhutuluka, Ebhugwa, Mubhuanga na Mumalimbe, nibhafung'ama kumeja ye ebhilyo bhya kegolo mu bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 Mbe mumenye linu, obhokumalisha bhalibha bhokwamba, na abhokwamba bhalibha bhokumalisha.”
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
31 Gwejile gwalabhao mwanya mufui, nibhaja Abhafarisayo abhandi nibhamubhwila ati, “Libhata osokanu kulwokubha Herode Kenda okukwita.”
On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Yesu naika ati, “Mugende mubhwile likara elyo, 'Lola, enibhilimya amasambwa nokuosha abhanu lelo na mutondo, na kulunaku lwa kasatu enikumisha emisango jani.
He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 Kumwanya gwonagwona, nikisi kwanye okugendelela lelo, mutondo ne ejweli, kulwokubha jitakwendwa okwita omulagi alikula na Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside 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, you who 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!
35 Lola inyumba yao yasigwa yenyele. Mbe enikubhwila, mutachandola lindi okukinga olwo mulyaika ati, 'Ana amabhando oyo ejile kwi Sina lyo Omukama.”'
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 the Lord!’”
