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.
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had 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 Jesus answering said to them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, changamuwuyila Chapanga winu, na nyenye yati mwifwa.
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
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, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelled in Jerusalem?
5 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, nambu na nyenye changamuwuyila Chapanga, na nyenye mewawa yati mwifwa.”
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall 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.
He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, 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?’
Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbers it the ground?
8 Nambu mhenga lihengu akamyangula, Bambu, ‘Tiuleka kavili namwaka, na nene yati niukulugila na kusopalela mabuli.
And he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 Ngati upambiki matunda kumwaka chabwina, ngati nakupambika, ndi udumulayi.’”
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall 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.
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 which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 Yesu peamuweni akamkemela na kumjovela, “Mau, ulekekiswi utamu waku!”
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
13 Yesu akamuvikila mawoko mdala yula na bahapo higa yaki yikagoloseka, na akatumbula akamlumbalila Chapanga.
And he laid his hands on 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 the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
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.
The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
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 should not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, see, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 Yesu peamali kujova genago, makoko gaki vakoli soni, nambu vandu vangi voha vakaheka kwa mambu gakukangasa gahengili.
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Yesu akavakota, “Unkosi wa Chapanga uwanangini na kiki? Wu, nikuwanangisa na kyani?
Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I resemble 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 mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 Yesu akakota kavili, “Unkosi wa Chapanga nikuwanangisa na kyani?
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ngati ngemeku laatoli mdala mmonga na kuhangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na woha watutumwiki.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu paayendelela na lugendu lwaki kuhamba ku Yelusalemu apitayi mumiji na muhijiji, kuni avawulayi vandu.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Mundu mmonga akamkota Yesu, “Bambu, wu, vandu vevisanguliwa ngavamahele?”
Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said to them,
24 Yesu akavajovela, “Mukangamala neju kuyingila mumlyangu udebedebe, muni nikuvajovela vandu vamahele yati vilinga kuyingila nambu nakuhotola.
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall 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!’
When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not from where you are:
26 Na nyenye yati mwitumbula kumjovela, ‘Tete ndi vala vetalili na kunywelela na veve, mewa veve watiwulili hotohoto muhijiji yitu!’
Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
27 Nambu mwene yati ijova, ‘Nakuvamanya nyenye wala kwemwihuma. Muwuka palongolo yangu, mwavoha nyenye vahenga gahakau!’
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not from where you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
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 shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 Vandu yati vibwela kuhuma pandi zoha za mulima, na kulya pamonga Muunkosi wa Chapanga.
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall 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 which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 Lukumbi lwenulo Vafalisayu vangi vamhambili Yesu na kumjovela, “Uwuka penapa uhamba pandu pangi muni Nkosi Helodi igana kukukoma.”
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Get you out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill you.
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, Go you, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nambu yikunigana niyendelela na lugendu lwangu, lelu na chilau na pamalau, muni yihotoleka lepi mlota wa Chapanga, kukomiwa kuvala ya Yelusalemu.”
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out 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, which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you 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 truly I say to you, You shall not see me, until the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
