Luka 7
1 Kuzwa Jesu hamana zonse zabali kuwamba bantu nibazuwile, nakenjila mwaKapenauma.
After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Linu muyenzi wachisole abena muhikana yabali kusunwa hahulu kwali, mi abali kulwala ni kusaka kufwa.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Muyenzi wachisole nanga zuwa za Jesu, natumina kwali bakulwana ba Majuda, kumukumbila kuti eze njamuhozeze muhikana wakwe.
And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
4 Habati chibasika kwa Jesu, ni bamukumbila chakukakanina, ni bati, “Uyelele kuti umutendele bulyo,
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him:
5 mukuti usaka chisi chetu, imi njabatuzakili masinagoge etu.”
for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
6 Chobulyo Jesu nazwila habusu munzila yakwe nabo. Hati chotumbatumba henzuvo, muyezi wachisole abatumini balikani bakwe kukamuwambila kuti, Simwine, usiye ulikatazi, kakuli kaniyelele kuti iwe winjile munzuvo yangu.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
7 Chelyo ibaka kanilihindi kuti niyelele kwiza kwako, kono uwambe bulyo inzwi mi muhikanangu kahole.
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Mukuti ime name ni muntu wina mwikonde lamulao, ni masole ni bena mwikonde lyangu. Niwambila umwina, 'Yende', mi uyenda, imi kuumwi, 'Wiize', mi wiiza, imi kumuhikanangu, 'Tende ichi', mi uchitenda.”
For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Imi Jesu hazuwa bulyo, namukomukwa, mi nasandukila kuchisi chibamuichilile nati, “Nimicho kuti, mane nangati mwaIsilaele kananibeni kuwanika itumelo ina bulyo.”
And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Imi linu bana babatumitwe habakabola kunzuvo, nibeza kuwana kuti muhikana chaba nenza.
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
11 Izo hazimana kutendahala, Jesu abayendi kwitolopo isupwa Naine, mi barutwana bakwe ni chisi ni bayenda naye.
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Habali kutumbatumba hamenjililo etolopo, mi hamulole, muntu yofwile abahinditwe, mwana wamuswisu umwina bulyo wanyina (yabafwamini), mi chisi chingi chizwa mwitolopo chibena naye.
Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 Imi Simwine hamubona, abamufwili maswe inse, imi abawambi kwali nati, “Sanzi ulili.”
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 Kuzwaho nichaya kwateni ni kukakwata kuzisamu hababahindile chitumbi, imi babachihindite nibazimana. Nichati, “Murombwana, nikucho kuti, buke.”
And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Yofwile nekala ni kutanga kuwamba, mi Jesu namutambika kubanyina.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Linu insabo ni chiyabawila bonse, imi chibazwira habusu kubabaza Ireeza, nibati, “Mupolofita yomaniniza ababuswa mukati ketu,” mi “Ireeza abaloli hewulu labantu bakwe.”
And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17 Iyi indaba ya Jesu ibahasani mwaJudea yonse ni zikiliti zonse zibambene nanyo.
And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.
18 Barutwana ba Johani babamuwambili izi zintu zonse.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
19 Kuzwaho Johani nasupa bobele babarutwna bakwe ni kubatumina kwaSimwine nibakati, “Kana nguwe yoswanela kwiza, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
20 Heti chibasika hafwihi ni Jesu, bakwame nibati, “Johani Mukolobezi wakatutuma kwako zetu kuti, 'kana nguwe yokezite, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”'
And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
21 Mweyo inako Jesu abahozi bantu bangi mumalwalila abo ni mumasukuluko abo ni mwihuho imbilala, imi ni kubahofu bangi ababahi kubona.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
22 Jesu nabetaba nabacho, “Heti chimwamana kuyenda musipili wenu, mukabihe kwa Johani chimubaboni ni kuzuwa. Bantu babahofu babahewa kubona, ziyanga zibatangi kuyenda, bachisenda babanjolozwa, basusu chibasuwa, bantu bafwile bababuswa ni kuhala, mi bahumanehi bawambilwa indava indotu.
And he answered and said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
23 Muntu yasasiyi kuzumina kwangu chebaka lazitendantu zangu utohonolofezwe.”
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me.
24 Kumasule abatumwa ba Johani heti chibayenda, Jesu natanga kuwambila zisi kaza Johani. “Chinzi chobayendi kukabona mwihalaupa? Luhe lunyanganyiswa luhuho.
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
25 Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mukwame yozabele zizabalo zinolonolo? Lole, bazabala zizabalo zimaniniza ni bahala mumbombolelwa bena muzibaka zibasimwine.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mupolofita na? Eee, niwamba kwenu, ni kuhitilila mupolofita.
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Uzu njiyena uzo zakwe ziñoletwe, 'Hamulole, nitumina mutuminwa wangu mubusu bwako, Yeti nalukise inzila yako noseni kusika.'
This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Niwamba kwenu, mukati kababahwizumukwa kumwanakazi kakwina mukando kuhita Johani. Nihakubabulyo umwina yomaniniza kubunini mupuso ya Ireeza mukando kumuhita.”
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Bantu bonse habazuwa ichi, kuhindilila batelisa, bababonisi kushiyama kwa Ireeza, chakukolobezwa chekolobezo ya Johani.
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Linu Bafalisi ni baluti babamaninizi bamulao wa chiJuda babakani zamulero weze Ireeza kuamana navo, mukuti kana babakolobezwa kwa Johani.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
31 “Kuchinzi, linu, kuniwola kubambanya bantu bounu murahi? Bakola sina chizi?
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 Bakola sina bahwile bakwete bazanina henkanza, bekala ni kulinsupa ni bati, “Tubamilizizi impeta, kono kanamubazani. Tubamizimbili izimbo zenjinjo, mi kana mubasilisi.'
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; which say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
33 Mukuti Johani Mukolobezi abezi nasaali inkonko ni kusanywa iwaine, muwamba kuti, 'Wina idimona.'
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 Mwana Muntu abezi nalya ni kunywa, imi muti, “Mulole, nji shazilyo ni chidakwa, mulikani wabatelisa ni batendi bazive!'
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Kono butali buzumininwe ni bana bakwe bonse.”
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 Lyahanu umwina wa Bafalisi na mema Jesu kukalya naye. Linu Jesu hamana kwinjila munzuvo ya Mufalisi, nekala hetafule kulya.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 Mi hamulole, kubena mwanakazi mumuleneñi, yabali mutendi wachive. Hazuwa kuti Jesu wina munzuvo ya Mufalisi hetafule, abaleti ijaki ye alabbasitera mwina ioili inunka nenza.
And behold, a woman which was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
38 Nazimene kumasule akwe hembali ni matende akwe, nalila, natanga kubombisa matende akwe ni zisonzi zakwe, imi nazisinda ni insuki zamutwi wakwe mi nachuchuna matende akwe ni kwasinga ni oili inuka nenza.
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Mufalisi yabamemete Jesu habona bulyo, nahupula munkulo yakwe, nati, kambe uzu mukwame mupolofita, hanu neziba kuti njeni ni kuti mwanakazi wamufuta nzi yomukwete, mukuti mutendi wachive.”
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is which touched him, that she is a sinner.
40 Jesu namwitaba nati, “Simoni, nina chinisaka kuwamba kwako.” Nati, “Chiwambe, Muruti!”
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 Jesu nati, “Mukolotisi zumwi wamasheleñi abena bakoloti bobele. Umwina nakolota ipondo zichita myanda imana iyanza, imi zumwi niyaba makumi amana iyanza.
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 Imi habakangwa kumuliha, nabaswalela bonse. Cheyo inzila, njeni kubali yeti amusake chakumaniniza?”
When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simoni abamwitabi nati, “Nihupula kuti njozuna yabaswalelwa kukando.” Jesu namuti, “Waatula nenza.”
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Jesu abasandukili kumwanakazi ni kuwambila Simoni, “Ubwene uzu mwanakazi. Nibenjili munzuvo yako. Kana ubanihi menzi amatende angu, kono iye wabombisa matende angu ni zinsonzi zakwe ni kuzisinda ni insuki zakwe.
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Iwe kana ubanichuchuni, kono iye kuzwa henako yinitanga kwiiza kasiite kuchuchuna matende angu.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Kana ubetili ioili hamutwi wangu, kono iye abetili matende angu ni ioili inunka bulotu.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Chobulyo niti kwako, zive zakwe, zibali zingi, chizaswalelwa ¬ mukuti watondeza kusuna kukando. Kono iye yoswalelwa halikene, usuna halikene.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
48 Linu abati kwali, “Zive zako zaswalelwa.”
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Babekele hamwina nibatanga kuambola mukati kabo, “Njeni uzu yoti uwola nanga kuswalela zive?”
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 Kuzwaho Jesu nichati kumwanakazi. “Itumelo yako yakuhaza. Yende chekozo.”
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
