Luka 13
1 Shipindi shilii wantu wamu yawaweriti palii wamgambiriti Yesu kwajili wantu wa Galilaya weni Pilatu kawalagiti pawaweriti wankulaviya tambiku kwa Mlungu.
Now there were some present at that very season which told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu kawakosiya, “Toziya wantu wa Galilaya wawalagiti kwa njira ilii, mlihola kuwera waweriti na vidoda kuliku wantu wa Galilaya wamonga?
And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things?
3 Neni nonga, ndala! Nukugambirani kuwera handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish.
4 Ntambu gaa kwajili ya wantu lilongu na wanani wa Silowamu yawahowiti shipindi mnara paguwatulukiriti? Mlihola kuwera womberi waweriti wanavidoda kuliku wantu wamonga wawalikala Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Ndala! Nukugambirani mwenga, handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.”
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 Su Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na muntu yumu, keniti na mtera gwa tini mulirambu lyakuwi. Kagenditi kwapa tini mumtera kumbiti kapata ndiri.
And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Su kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa lirambu, ‘Guloli, kwa mivinja mitatu paniza kwapa mabwajubwaju mumtera gwa tini, kumbiti nugawona ndiri. Gugudumuli! Toziya gumalira hera litapaka.’
And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?
8 Kumbiti ntumintumi kamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, guguleki huti kwa shinja shimu hera, hanugulimili na kugulekera mbotu.
And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 Pagulera mabwajubwaju shinja shankwiza, hayiherepi nentu, kumbiti pagulera ndiri su guweza kugudumula.’”
and if it bear fruit thenceforth, [well]; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Yesu kaweriti munumba ya Mlungu mulishaka lya kwoyera pakafunda.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
11 Palii peniti na mdala yakeniti na shamshera yakamtenda kalwali mivinja lilongu na nane, kaweriti na shibyongu ata kasinditi kugoloka.
And behold, a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up.
12 Yesu pakamwoniti kamshema, “Mawu, su guponiziwa ulweli waku!”
And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Kamtulila mawoku gakuwi, na palaa palii shibyongu shihuka na kawera safi, su kamkwisiti Mlungu.
And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu kaweriti kakalala Yesu pakamponiziyiti mulishaka lya kwoyera, su kawagambiriti wantu, “Kwana mashaka sita gamuweza kutenda lihengu, mwizi mumashaka aga muponiziwi malweli genu, namwiza Mulishaka lya kwoyera!”
And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
15 Mtuwa kamwankula, “Gwamfyangu gwenga! Ndo gaa pakati penu mekamvuguli ng'ombi ama punda gwakuwi kulawa mulizizi na kumtenda kalandi mashi ata payiwera lishaka lya kwoyera?
But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 Vinu su peni panu kwana muhinga gwa Aburahamu ndomweni Shetani kamtenda shibyongu kwa mivinja lilongu na nane, su iherepa ndiri kumponiziya mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
17 Kuwankula kwakuwi kuwatenditi wadoda wawoni soni weni, kumbiti wantu wamonga wanemeleriti toziya ya vitwatira vyakatenditi.
And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Yesu kakosiyiti, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu ulifana na shishi? Nuufaniziyi na shintu gaa?
He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?
19 Ulifana hangu. Muntu katola mbeyu ndidini nentu ya haradali na kuyala mulirambu. Mbeyu imera na kuwera mtera, na wampongu wiza na kunyawa vitukulu vyawu mumitambi.”
It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof.
20 Kayi Yesu kakosiya, “Hanuufaniziyi Ufalumi wa Mlungu na shintu gaa?
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ulifana na simika yakatoliti mawu yumu na kuyihanganyiya pamuhera na ubumu vipimu vitatu, su ubumu woseri ututumuka.”
It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
22 Yesu kendereyiti na mwanja gwakuwi kugenda muisi na muvijiji, pakafunda wantu na pakanyawa njira yakuwi kugenda Yerusalemu.
And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem.
23 Muntu yumu su kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, wantu hawawalopoziyi ndo wadidini hera?” Yesu kawagambiriti,
And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 “Mkamaliri nentu kwingira mumlyangu mdidini, toziya wantu wavuwa hawajeli nakaka kwingira kumbiti hapeni wingiri.
Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 Mkulu gwa numba hakimuki na kutata mlyangu, mwenga hamgoloki kunja na kwanja kukota mlyangu na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, mtuwa! Gutuvuguliri mlyangu!’ Nayomberi hakawankuli, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga na pamlawa!’
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;
26 Su mwenga hamwankuli, ‘Tuliya na kulanda pamuwera na gwenga, na gwenga gutufunditi muisi yetu!’
then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;
27 Kumbiti yomberi kayi hakalongi, ‘Nupamana ndiri pamlawa. Muwuki kulawa kwaneni mwoseri mtenda vidoda!’
and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 Su panu hamulili na kugayagaya menu genu pawakwasirani kunja na hamuwaloli Aburahamu na Isaka na Yakobu na wambuyi wa Mlungu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!
There shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without.
29 Wantu hawizi kulawa kwagulawa mushenji na kwaguzyeta mushenji, kulawa kushana na kusika, su hawaweri mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Su woseri yawawera wa upeleru hawaweri wa kwanja, na woseri yawawera vinu wa kwanja hawaweri wa upeleru.”
And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 Shipindi shilaa shiliya Wamafalisayu wamu wamwiziriti Yesu na kumgambira, “Gufiruwa guwuki panu na gugendi pahala pingi, toziya Herodi kafira kakulagi gwenga!”
In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee.
32 Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri shibweta ulii hangu, ‘Nankuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya walweli leru na shilawu, na lishaka lya tatu hamalili lihengu lyangu.’
And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I am perfected.
33 Vila vilii mpaka nweri mumwanja leru, na shilawu, na lishaka limonga, toziya iherepa ndiri kwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu wamlagi kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
Howbeit I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 “Yerusalemu! Shondi shondi Yerusalemu bamu! Guwalaga wambuyi wa Mlungu, guwagumanga kwa mabuwi walii yawatumitwi kwaku! Vipindi vivuwa nfira kuwatula wana waku mumawoku mwangu gambira nkuku pakavigupika vyana vyakuwi kwa mbapatiru zyakuwi, kumbiti gwenga gunema!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen [gathereth] her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Su hawakulekeli gumweni numba yaku. Nukugambira nakaka gwenga hapeni muwoni mpaka shipindi shiza pamtakula, ‘Mlungu gumtekeleri ulii yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa.’”
Behold, your house is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
