Luka 7
1 Baada ya Yesu yomwa kila kilebe chabile kakibaya kwa bandu babampekaniyage, ajingii Karpenaumu.
After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
2 Mmanda pulani ywa akida, ywabile ywa thamani muno kake, abile ntamwe muno ni abile karibu na waa.
And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.
3 Lakini ayowine usu Yesu, yolo akida antumite kiongozi wa kiyahudi, kunnoba aiche kunkombwa mmanda wake linga kanaawe.
And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.
4 Pabaikite papipi ni Yesu, batikunnoba kweli ni baya, “andastahili upalikwa panga nya kwaajili yake,
And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,
5 Kwasababu andakulipenda taifa litu, ni ywanjengite sinagogi kwaajili yitu.”
It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.
6 Yesu ayendeli ni safari yake pamope nakwe, lakini kabla anaika kwaa kuutalu ni nnyumba, afisa yumo aatumite mambwiga bake longela nakwe, “Ngwana, kana uuchoshe wa mwene kwasababu ya nenga nistahili kwa wenga jingya mu dari yangu.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:
7 Kwasababu yino nifikilie kwa hata nenga namwene panga nenda pwaika icha kwako, lakini ubaye lineno tu ni mmanda wango apapona.
And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.
8 Kwani nenga na mundu wanibile pa mamlaka na nibii ni askari pae yango, abaya kwa yuu 'Yenda” ni andayenda, ni kwa ywenge 'Icha” ni andaicha ni mtumishi wango “upange nyaa” ni ywembe andapanga.
For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 Yesu payowine haga atichangala ni kubagalambukiya makutano bababile kabankengama ni baya, “Nindawabakiya hata mu'Isreali, nabona kwa mundu mwene imani kolo kati yolo.
And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Boka po balo babatumilwe babuyangine kaya ni kunkolya mtumishi abile nkoto.
And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.
11 Pulani baada ya haga, yapitike kuwa Yesu ende safiri yenda kilambo che nge chakemelwa Naini. Benepunzi bake bayeyi pamope nakwe bakengimine na bandu banyansima.
And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.
12 Paikite papipii ni nnyango wa kilambo linga, mundu ywa wile abile apotwilwe ni nga mwana yumo kwa mao ywake. ywabile mnomelanga, ni umati wa akilishi buka pa kilambo bai pamope ni ywembe.
Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.
13 Pamweni Ngwana atikumwegeleya kwa rwangu muno husu ywembe ni kummakia “kana ulile”
And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.
14 Nga egelya nnonge ni kukungwa lijeneza bababutulile maiti ni balo babaputwike batiyimaaa ngaabaya “wenga wa kijana uyumuke.”
And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.
15 Ywa awile ngakakatuka ni tama kitako ni tumbwa longela. Boka po Yesu kampea ywa mwana kwa mao bake.
And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Boka po hofu ibajingile boti, bayendeli kumtukuza Nnongo bende baya “Nabii nkolo alikakatulwa nkati yitu” ni “Nnongo alingite bandu bake.”
And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people.
17 Hayii habari inanoga ya Yesu yatienea Yudea yoti ni kwa mikoa yoti ya jirani.
And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about.
18 Benepunzi ba Yohana bammakiye mambo goti haga.
And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.
19 Ndipo Yohana ngaa ankema abeli nkati ya Benepunzi bake ni kubatuma kwa Ngwana baya “wenga yulo ywa icha, au kuna mundu ywenge tumnende?
Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
20 Bapaikite karibu ni Yesu aba payite Yohana mbatizaji atitumite kwako baya, “wenga nga yolo au kui na mundu ywenge tumnende?
And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
21 Kwa wakati woo aaponyike bandu banyansima buka nkati ya matamwe ni mateso, buka kwa nchela, ni kwa bandu ipofu apeile bona.
At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.
22 Yesu ayangwine baya kwabe, “Baada ya n'yei kwa mwokite mkammakiye Yohana chamkibweni ni kukiyoa. Babile ipofu bapokya bona ni iwete banda tyanga, bene ukoma banda pona, iziwi banda yoa, babawile banda yuka ni panga akolo kai, bangali ni kilebe aabakiya habari inanoga.
And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
23 Ni mundu ywaleka kwaa kuniamini nenga kwa sababu ya matendo gango abalikilwe.”
And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
24 Baada ya balo babatumilwe ni Yohana buyangana kwaba bukite Yesu nga tumbwe longela na bandu husu Yohana, “Mwayei panja bona namani, nnai wautikatika ni mchunga?
And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
25 Lakini mwayei panja bona namani, mundu ywa weti vizuri? linga bandu balo babawala ngubo ya kifalme ni ishi maisha ga staree babile bene nafasi ya kifalme.
But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
26 Lakini nn'yenda panja bona namani, Nabii? Elo, nenda baya kwinu na muno kuliko nabii.
But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27 Uyu ngaba ywaandikilwe, linga nenda kutuma mjumbe wango nnongi ya minyo yinu, ywapala andaa ndila kwaajili yango,
This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
28 Mbayaa kwinu, kati ya balo bababelekwile ni nnwawa, ntopo nkolo kati Yohana, lakini mundu ywangali muhimu muno nga ywaa lama ni Nnongo mahali pabile ywembe, apanga nkolo kuliko Yohana.”
I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Ni bandu boti pabayowine haga pamope ni babatosage ushuru, batitangaza Nnongo nga mwene haki. Babile kati yabe babatizilwe kwa ubatizo wa Yohana.
(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.
30 Lakini mafarisayo ni bataalamu ba saliya ya kiyahudi amabbo babatizilwe ni ywembe batikana hekima ya Nnongo kwaajili yabe bene.
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)
31 Kai mbaweza linganisha mwenga ni namani bandu ba kizazi cheno? Bai kitiwi?
What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?
32 Balingana ni bana babang'anda pasoko, babatama ni kemana yumo baada ya ywenge kababaya,'tuliyula filimbi kwaajili yinu, ni mng'andike kwaa, twatilombola mlelite kwaa.”
They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.
33 Yohana mbatizaji aichile alile kwaa nkate wala anywile kwa lilogwa, ni mmayite, “Aina mashetani.
For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.
34 Mwana wa mundu aichile alile ni ywa ni mmayite linga aina choyo ni nnevi, limbwiga ni babatosa ushuru ni bene sambi.
The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.
35 Lakini hekima bakwipwile kuwa ibile ni haki kwa bana bake boti.”
But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.
36 Yumo ywa balo, afarisayo anobite ayende akalye nakwe. Baada ya Yesu jingya munyumba ya mafarisayo, alindikii meza linga alye.
And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.
37 Linga abi na nnwawa katika kilambo chilo abi ni sambi. Akwipwile kuwa atamii kwa farisayo, alelike chupa ya mauta gananungya.
And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,
38 Ayemi nchungu yake karibu ni maghulu gake kuno kalela. Kae atumbwi tepengaya maghulu kwa nywili ya mutwe wakeni kuipakalaya mauta gananungya.
And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.
39 Ni yulo farisayo ywa nkokiti Yesu pamweni nyoo, awechike mwene abayite, mana mundu yuu apanga nabii, apendaga hayu nyai ni nnwawa wa namna gani ywa mkunywa, ya panga mwene sambi.
Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.
40 Yesu atin'yangwa ni kum'makiya, “Simoni nibiina kikowe cha kukubakiya.” Abayite, “kibaye bai mwalimu”
And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.
41 Yesu abayite, “pabii ni alongelwa abile ba kopite kwa mundu yumo. Yumo abi kadaiwa dinari mia tano ni wene ibele adaiwa dinari hamsini.
And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.
42 Ni pabile ntopo ela ya kunnepa atikuwasameya boti. Tubwe ywakuywa mpenda muno?
When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?
43 Simoni ati kunn'yangwa “mbona ywa nyansima. Yesu amakiya uukumu sawasawa.”
Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.
44 Yesu nga ngalabukya mnwawa ni baya kwa Simoni, “Wandamwona uyu nnwawa. Nijingii munyumba yako. Umbei kwaa machi kwa ajili ya magulu gangu, lakini huyu, kwa morii gake ateoengiye magulu gangu ni kugafula kwa nywili yake.
And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.
45 Huninonii kwaa, lakini ywembe, tangu panjiyite muno alekite kwaa kuninoniya magulu gangu.
You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
46 Huipakiye kwaa magulu gangu mauta, lakini aipakiye magulu gangu mauta gananungya.
You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
47 Kwa jambo lee, nenda kubakia kwamba abe ni sambi zanyansima ni ninsamilie muno, ni kai atipenda muno, lakini ywasamehelwa pachini apendike pachini tu.”
And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.
48 Baadaye aamakiye nnwawa, “sambi yako ichamiilwe.”
And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
49 Balo babatami pameza pamope nakwe ngabatumbwa longela bene kwa bene, “Aywa nyai mpaka ansamii sambi?”
And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
50 Ni Yesu amakiye nnwawa imani yako ikukombwile, Uyende kwa amani.”
And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
