Luka 13
1 Ni wakati wowow pabile ni baadhi ya bandu babamtaarifu husu Agalilaya ambabo Pilato atikuabulaga ni yangabana damu yabe ni sadaka yabe.
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 Yesu atiyangwa ni kuabakiya, buli mukita kuwa Agalilaya abo babi dhambi kuliko Agalilaya bengi boti nga maana bapatilwe ni mabaya go?
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Nyoo kwaa, nenda kuabakiya, lakini mana mutubu kwaa, ni mwenga mpaangamia nyonyo.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Au balo bandu komi ni nane katika Siloamu ambabo nnara watitumbuka ni waa nkati bembe babi bene dhambi muno kuliko bandu katika Yerusalemu.
Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
5 Nyoo kwaa, ninga nibaya, mana ntubu kwaa, mwenga mwaboti mwa angania kae.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
6 Yesu aabakiye mfano woo, mundu yumo abile ni mtini utipandilwa katika nn'gunda wake ni ayei pala matunda nnani yake lakini hapatike kwaa.
And Jesus told them this parable – “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
7 Aamakiye ywa atunza nng'unda, linga kwa miaka itatu nitiicha ni paya pala matunda muntini we lakini mbatike kwaa. uukate, kwani ulete uhalibifu wa bui?
So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
8 Ywatunza nng'unda ayangwi ni baya uleke mwaka wono linga ni niukulugii ni kubikya mbolea panani yake.
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
9 Mana upambike matunda mwaka wauicha ya panga vizuri, lakini mana upambike kwaa, waukate!”
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
10 Tumbwe Yesu endefundisha katika yumo nkati ga masinagogi wakati wa sabato.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 Linga abile mao yumo ambaye kwa miaka komi ni mitano abile ni roho nchapu ywa udhaifu, ni ywembe abile atipinda ni ntopo uwezo kabisa wa yima.
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
12 Yesu atikumona, atikumkema amakiye “Mao, ubekilwe huru bukana na udhaifu wako.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 Abekite maboko gake kunani yake, ni mara yiga yake yatikuinyosha ni atikuntunza Nnongo.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 Lakini nkolo wa Sinagogi atikachilika kwa sababu Yesu atikumponya lichuba lya sabato. Nga nyo ntawala ayangwi abakiye makutano, “kui na machoba sita ambago lazima panga kachi. Muiche kuaponya basi, katika lichuba lya sabato kwaa.
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Bwana ayangwi na baya, “mwanafiki! ntopo kila yumo winu unyaghulya mbunda ywako au ngombe buka kyungulu ni kuaongoza kumpeleka nywa lichuba lya sabato?
“You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 Nga nyo kae mwana wa Abrahamu, ambaye nchela atikuntaba kwa miaka komi ni minane, buli kipalikwe kwaa kifungo chake kana kiyoghulekwe lichuba lya sabato?”
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
17 Pabile kabaya maneno aga, balo boti batikumpinga bamweni oni, bali makutano boti ba bengi batishangilia kwaajili ya makowe ga ajabu gagapangite.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 Yesu abayite, “Ufalme wa Nnongo ulandana ni namani, ni niweza linganisha ni namani?
So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Ni kati mbeyu ya haradari ya itweti mundu yumo ni kuipanda munng'unda wake, ni kulaa panga mkongo nkolo ni iyuni ya kunani chenga ijumba yabe katika sambi yake.
It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.”
20 Kae abayite niulandaniye ni namani ufalme wa Nnongo?
And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ni kati chachu ambayo mnwawa uitola ni kuiyangabana muilengo itatu ya bwembe hata umuka.”
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
22 Yesu atyanga kwaa kila mji ni kila kijiji kayenda Yerusalemu ni kuapundisha.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Mundu yumo alokiye, “Ngwana, ni bandu achunu bai babakolelwa? hivyo atiabakiya,
“Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
24 “Muitaidi jingya pitya nnyango nchunu, kwasababu baingi bapaya ni bawecha kwaa jingya.
“Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Mara baada ya mwene nyumba yima ni jigala mnyango, basi mwayima panja ni kumbwa uli paniyango ni baya, “Ngwana, Ngwana, Utuyungulii ywembe ayangwa ni kuabakiya, nibatangite kwaa mwenga wala kwa mmoka.
when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be – ‘I do not know where you come from.’
26 Nga mwa baya, “Twalile ni nywa nnongi yako ni wenga watipundisha katika mitaa yitu.'
Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be –
27 Lakini ywembe an'yangwa, nenda kuabakiya, nibatangite kwaa, kwa mmoka, muboke kwango, mwenga mwa moanga malau!
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
28 Papanga ni kilio ni saga mino wakati mwababona Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo ni manabii boti katika ufalme wa Nnongo, lakini mwenga mwabene mutaikulilwe panja.
There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 Baicha boka mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini, ni kusini, ni pumulya katika meza ya chakulya cha kitamunyo katika ufalme wa Nnongo.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 Ni utange alee, wa mwisho nga wa kwanza ni wa kwanza apanga wa mwisho.”
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
31 Muda nchunu baadaye, baadhi ya mafarisayo batiicha ni kummakiya, “Uyende ni ubuke paa kwa sababu Herode apala kukubulaga.”
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Yesu abayite, “muyende mukammakiye yolo kibweya, linga, nigabinga moka ni kuaponya lino ni malau, ni lichuba lya itatu naitimiza lyengo lyango.
But Jesus answered, “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.’
33 Katika ali yoyoti, ni muhimu kwaajili yango yendelya lino, malau ni lichuba laliicha, kwa vile ikubalike kwaa kumulaga nabii kulipau ni Yerusalem.
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
34 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, nyai ywa abulaga manabii ni kuakumbwa maliwe balo babatumilwe kwinu. Mara ilenga mbala kubakusanya bana binu kati nguku mwa akusanya bana bake pai ya mapapaya gake lakini mwalipalike kwaa.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children around me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 LInga nyumba yako ilekilwe, ni nee nendakuwabakia mngwecha kwaa kum'bona hata pampala baya Abarikiwe anywo ywa icha kwa lina lya Ngwana.”
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
