Luka 13
1 Lukumbi lwenulo vandu nunuyo, vabweli kumjovela Yesu, mambu ga vandu va ku Galilaya, vevakomiwa na Pilatu, lukumbi vihinja mifuya yavi ndava ya luteta.
Now some were present at the same time who informed him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu akavayangula, “Ndava Vagalilaya vala vevakomiwi kwa njila yila mwihololela kuvya Vagalilaya vala, vambudili Chapanga kuliku Vagalilaya vangi, hati gavakolili mambu genago?
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Do ye suppose that these Galileans became sinful above all the Galileans because they have suffered such things?
3 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, changamuwuyila Chapanga winu, na nyenye yati mwifwa.
I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all perish similarly.
4 Amala, kumi na nane vala, vevagwiliwi na mnala kuchijiji cha ku Siloamu, vafwili, ndi mwiholalela kuvya venavo, vahokili kuliku vandu voha vevatama ku Yelusalemu?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them. Do ye think that these became debtors above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, nambu na nyenye changamuwuyila Chapanga, na nyenye mewawa yati mwifwa.”
I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all likewise perish.
6 Kangi Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu, “Mundu mmonga avi na mkongo wa mtini mumgunda waki wa mizabubu, mundu mwenuyo akahamba kuyava matunda mumkongo wula, nambu apatili lepi.
And 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 Ndi akamjovela mhenga lihengu wa mgunda, ‘Lola! Mumiyaka yidatu nakalibwela kuyava matunda mumkongo uwu wa mtini, nambu kawaka chindu chenigana. Hinu uhudumula! Ndava kyani ulalisa mgunda wangu?’
And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?
8 Nambu mhenga lihengu akamyangula, Bambu, ‘Tiuleka kavili namwaka, na nene yati niukulugila na kusopalela mabuli.
And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.
9 Ngati upambiki matunda kumwaka chabwina, ngati nakupambika, ndi udumulayi.’”
Although surely it should bear fruit, and if not, in the coming year thou will cut it down.
10 Ligono limonga la Kupumulila, Yesu avi mukuwula munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
11 Pavi na mdala mmonga mweavi na mzuka, mwealwalayi lukumbi lwa miyaka kumi na nane, mdala mwenuyo avi na chipindi ndi nakuhotola kuyima.
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bent over, and not being able to straighten up completely.
12 Yesu peamuweni akamkemela na kumjovela, “Mau, ulekekiswi utamu waku!”
And when Jesus saw her, he called out, and said to her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Yesu akamuvikila mawoko mdala yula na bahapo higa yaki yikagoloseka, na akatumbula akamlumbalila Chapanga.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Mkulu wa nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi akayoma, ndava Yesu amulamisi mdala yula, Ligono la Kupumulila. Ndi akavajovela vandu vavavi penapo, “Muvi nagu magono sita gakuhenga mahengu. Hinu mubwela magono genago kulamisiwa utamu winu, nambu lepi kulamiswa Ligono la Kupumulila!”
And having responded, the synagogue-ruler, being indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which he ought to work. Therefore coming in these, be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
15 Nambu Bambu akamyangula, “Vahomela nyenye! Yani mweavi pagati yinu mwangawopola ng'ombi yaki amala lipunda laki muchivaya na kuyipeleka kunywiha manji Ligono la Kupumulila.
But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?
16 Mdala yula avi wa chiveleku cha Ibulahimu, nambu Setani amkungili miyaka kumi na nane wu, chabwina lepi kumdindulila vifungu vyaki Ligono la Kupumulila?”
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
17 Yesu peamali kujova genago, makoko gaki vakoli soni, nambu vandu vangi voha vakaheka kwa mambu gakukangasa gahengili.
And as he said these things all those opposing him were shamed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Yesu akavakota, “Unkosi wa Chapanga uwanangini na kiki? Wu, nikuwanangisa na kyani?
And he said, What is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I compare it?
19 Ngati mbeyu ya mkongo wa haladali yeyitoliwi na mundu mmonga na kuhilalila mumgunda waki. Yikamela na kuvya mkongo, na videge vikajenga hisakanilu mumambanda gaki.”
It is like a grain of a mustard plant, which having taken, a man cast into his own garden. And it grew and developed into a great tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches if it.
20 Yesu akakota kavili, “Unkosi wa Chapanga nikuwanangisa na kyani?
And again he said, To what will I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Ngati ngemeku laatoli mdala mmonga na kuhangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na woha watutumwiki.”
It is like leaven that a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu paayendelela na lugendu lwaki kuhamba ku Yelusalemu apitayi mumiji na muhijiji, kuni avawulayi vandu.
And he went through by cities and villages, teaching, and making a journey toward Jerusalem.
23 Mundu mmonga akamkota Yesu, “Bambu, wu, vandu vevisanguliwa ngavamahele?”
And a certain man said to him, Lord, are they few who are being saved? And he said to them,
24 Yesu akavajovela, “Mukangamala neju kuyingila mumlyangu udebedebe, muni nikuvajovela vandu vamahele yati vilinga kuyingila nambu nakuhotola.
Compete to enter in by the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Lukumbi lubwela lwa mkolo nyumba kuyima na kudinda mlyangu. Ndi penapo yati muyima kuvala na kutumbula kuhodesa mlyangu kwa kujova, ‘Bambu utidindulilayi mlyangu!’ Nambu mwene yati akuvayangula, ‘Nakuvamanya nyenye wala nakumanya kwemwihuma!’
From the time the house-ruler has risen up, and has closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and having answered, he will say to you, I know not where ye are from,
26 Na nyenye yati mwitumbula kumjovela, ‘Tete ndi vala vetalili na kunywelela na veve, mewa veve watiwulili hotohoto muhijiji yitu!’
then ye will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou taught in our thoroughfares.
27 Nambu mwene yati ijova, ‘Nakuvamanya nyenye wala kwemwihuma. Muwuka palongolo yangu, mwavoha nyenye vahenga gahakau!’
And he will say, I tell you, I know not where ye are from. Depart from me, all ye workmen of unrighteousness.
28 Ndi yati mwivembeneka na kuyaga minu, lukumbi pemkuvalola Ibulahimu na Izaki na Yakobo na vamlota voha va Chapanga vavi Muunkosi wa Chapanga, nambu nyenye muvi kuvala!
There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you being thrust out.
29 Vandu yati vibwela kuhuma pandi zoha za mulima, na kulya pamonga Muunkosi wa Chapanga.
And they will arrive from the east and west, and from the north and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Ndi vala vevavi va mwishu yati vivya va kutumbula na vala vevavi va kutumbula yati vivya va mwishu.”
And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
31 Lukumbi lwenulo Vafalisayu vangi vamhambili Yesu na kumjovela, “Uwuka penapa uhamba pandu pangi muni Nkosi Helodi igana kukukoma.”
In the same day some Pharisees came, saying to him, Get thee out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill thee.
32 Yesu akavayangula, “Muhamba mukamjovela lihogo, ‘Lelu na chilau nivinga mizuka na kuvalamisa vatamu na pamalau yati nimalakisa lihengu langu.’
And he said to them, Having gone, say to this fox, Behold, I cast out demons and finish cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am fully perfected.
33 Nambu yikunigana niyendelela na lugendu lwangu, lelu na chilau na pamalau, muni yihotoleka lepi mlota wa Chapanga, kukomiwa kuvala ya Yelusalemu.”
Nevertheless it is necessary for me to go today and tomorrow and the following, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 “Wa Yelusalemu! Veve Yelusalemu! Mweukuvakoma vamlota va Chapanga, vevatumwili kwaku. Kwa kuvatova na maganga. Pamahele niganili kuvahegelesa vana vaku pamonga ngati nguku, cheyiyuvatila tuvana twaki mumagwaba, nambu mwaganili lepi.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
35 Lola! Nyenye yati mulekewa muji winu. Na nene nikuvajovela yati nakunilola kavili mbaka lukumbi pa mwijova, Amotisiwa mweibwela kwa uhotola wa Bambu.”
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And I say to you, that ye will, no, not see me, until it will come when ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
