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 there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed 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 he answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?
3 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, changamuwuyila Chapanga winu, na nyenye yati mwifwa.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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 killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Chakaka nikuvajovela, lepi, nambu na nyenye changamuwuyila Chapanga, na nyenye mewawa yati mwifwa.”
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
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 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?’
He said to the vine dresser, 'Look, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
8 Nambu mhenga lihengu akamyangula, Bambu, ‘Tiuleka kavili namwaka, na nene yati niukulugila na kusopalela mabuli.
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9 Ngati upambiki matunda kumwaka chabwina, ngati nakupambika, ndi udumulayi.’”
And if it bears fruit next time, [fine]; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
10 Ligono limonga la Kupumulila, Yesu avi mukuwula munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
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 look, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Yesu peamuweni akamkemela na kumjovela, “Mau, ulekekiswi utamu waku!”
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13 Yesu akamuvikila mawoko mdala yula na bahapo higa yaki yikagoloseka, na akatumbula akamlumbalila Chapanga.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up 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!”
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done Therefore come on those days 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.
Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites. Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
16 Mdala yula avi wa chiveleku cha Ibulahimu, nambu Setani amkungili miyaka kumi na nane wu, chabwina lepi kumdindulila vifungu vyaki Ligono la Kupumulila?”
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, look, eighteen years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"
17 Yesu peamali kujova genago, makoko gaki vakoli soni, nambu vandu vangi voha vakaheka kwa mambu gakukangasa gahengili.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the crowd 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 he said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what can 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 mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."
20 Yesu akakota kavili, “Unkosi wa Chapanga nikuwanangisa na kyani?
And again he said, "To what can I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Ngati ngemeku laatoli mdala mmonga na kuhangisana na uhembe madebe gavili na woha watutumwiki.”
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
22 Yesu paayendelela na lugendu lwaki kuhamba ku Yelusalemu apitayi mumiji na muhijiji, kuni avawulayi vandu.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Mundu mmonga akamkota Yesu, “Bambu, wu, vandu vevisanguliwa ngavamahele?”
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" 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 by the narrow door, for many, I tell 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!’
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' then he will answer and tell you, 'I do not know you or where you come from.'
26 Na nyenye yati mwitumbula kumjovela, ‘Tete ndi vala vetalili na kunywelela na veve, mewa veve watiwulili hotohoto muhijiji yitu!’
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
27 Nambu mwene yati ijova, ‘Nakuvamanya nyenye wala kwemwihuma. Muwuka palongolo yangu, mwavoha nyenye vahenga gahakau!’
But he will reply, 'I do not know where you come from. 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 will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Vandu yati vibwela kuhuma pandi zoha za mulima, na kulya pamonga Muunkosi wa Chapanga.
They will come from the east, west, 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 look, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who 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 that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to 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 and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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 go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it cannot be that a prophet 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.
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.
35 Lola! Nyenye yati mulekewa muji winu. Na nene nikuvajovela yati nakunilola kavili mbaka lukumbi pa mwijova, Amotisiwa mweibwela kwa uhotola wa Bambu.”
Look, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
