Luka 13
1 Na wakati ou na ou, bhahali abhantu bhabhabholele enongwa eya Bhagalilaya bhala ambabho oPilato asangenye idanda lyabho na dhabihu zyabho.
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 Wabhagagula wabhabhola, “Eshi msebhe eyaje Agalilaya ebho bhali bhabhibhi ashile Agalilaya wonti hata gabhajile amambo ego gonti?
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Embabhola, siyo, lelo nkashile semlamba amwe mwenti mwaitega shesho.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Au bhala kumi na nane bhabhagwelewe no mnara ohwo hu Siloamu wabhagojile msebha eye je abhahale ali bhakosaji ashile abhantu bhonti bhabhakheyee hu Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
5 Embabhola, siyo lelo nkashile semlamba amwe mwenti mwaitega shesho.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
6 Wayanga ofwano ogu, “Omuntu omo ali nikwi lyatotilwe mgonda gwakwe elya mizabibu wabhala awanze amadondo juu yakwe sewa gaga.
And Jesus told them this parable – “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
7 Wabhola omtunzaji owe gonda elye mazabibu enya amaha gatatu ega nenza ahwanze amadondo juu ye yikwi eli. Senahajile ahantu. Oudumre mbona hata ensi enachicha?
So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
8 Wagalula wabhola ogosi oureshe omwaha ogu gwape, 'hata egufugutile enguponyezye eburi.
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
9 Lyape ugapapa amadodo pamande, shinza; nkashile sewaipapa ndipo odumraje!”'
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
10 Isiku elya tozye ali asambelezya msjiabhanza eshamwabho.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 Na enya, pali noshe yali ni pepo lye udhaifu omda ogwe maha kumi naminane wape agolombene sawezizye ahwigolozye tee.
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
12 O Yesu nawalola akwizizye, wabholo, Maye, oyauliwe katika oudhaifu waho.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 Wabheha amakhono gakwe juu yakwe wape wagoroha pepo watukuzya Ongolobhe.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 Eshi ogosi oweshibhanza avitilwe afwanaje oYesu aponizye omntu isiku elyatozye agalura wabhobhola mabongano zihweli esiku sita zyazihwaziwa abhombe embombo. Basi enzaji mponywe msiku ezyo wala siyo mnsiku ezyatoye.
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Lelo Ogosi wagalula wayanga amwe, “wanafiki! Shila omo wenyu je sahwigulika eng'ombe yakwe isiku elyatoye mwigoma abhale nayo amwelezye?
“You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 Vono oshe yali shikholo sha Ibulahimu, ambaye oshetani apinyile amaha kumi na minane ega, sehwanziwa aje ayaulwe evifungo evi isiku elya toye?”
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
17 Nawayanga ego bhasauhana wonti bhadalihanaga nabho amabongano wonti bha shimo afwanaje eye mambo aminza gagabhombeshe no mwehale.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 Esho ayanjile oumwene owa Ngolobhe ulengene ne yenu, nane embulenganisye ne yenu?
So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Ulengane ne punje eye haradali yayejile omntu wasasa mgonda gakwe yamela yabha likwii enyonyi ezya mwanya zakhala msamba zyakwe.
It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.”
20 Wayanga olya bhele engulenganisye neyenu oumwene owa Ngolobhe?
And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ulengane ne chachu yahejile oshe wayifisa mhati eye pishi zitatu ezye usu hatgwasapa gwonti nantele.”
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
22 Wope ali shila mmaboma nu mvijiji asambelezya esafari yakwe eyabhale hu Yerusalemu.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Omntu omo wabhozya eshi, “Gosi, abhantu bhabhahwaulwa bhadodo?” Wabhola,
“Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
24 “Hwitahidi ahwinjile mlyango gula onyela, afanaje embabhola eyaje abhinji bhayanza ahwinjile bhayipotwa.
“Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Wakati omwanesho nyumba nayemelela na galile olyango namwe mwayanda ahwemelele hwonze nakhome ehodi palyango, na yanje ee Gosi, tigulile omwahale abhagalule na bhabhole sembamenye hwamufuma.'
when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be – ‘I do not know where you come from.’
26 Esho mwayanda ayanje, Taliye na mweele hwitagalile lyaho nawe wasambelezyezye idala elyetu.”
Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be –
27 Wape abhayanje embabhola, `sembamenye hwamfumele sogalaji hwiline amwe mwenti mwemuli bhabhomba!'
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
28 Esho shashabha shililo nasye amino namwanyihulo oIbulahimu no Isaka, no Yakobo na khakuwa wonti abhe umwene owa Ngolobhe namwe mwemwe mponyezyewe hwonze.
There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 Wope bhayenza abhantu afume hu Mashariki, na hu Magharibi, nafume hu Kaskazini na hu Kusini, wape bhayikhara pashalye pa umwene owa Ngolobhe.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 Na enya, wahweli bhali bhamwisho bhayibha bhahwanda na abha hwanda bhayibha bha mwisho.”
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
31 Esaa yeyo Amafarisayo bhamo bhamo bhabhariye, “Bhabhola fuma epe, obhale pamwabho, afwanaje oHerode ahwanza hugoje.”
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Wabhabhola, “Bhalaji mbhore ola ombela, `Enya, sanyono na sandabho efumila epepo na ponye empongo, isiku elyatatu ekamiliha.
But Jesus answered, “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.’
33 Pandwemo nego enanziwe akhate idala lyane sanyono na shendabho na renda sandabho, afwanaje sehwaziwa aje okuwa atejele hwonze eye Yerusalemu.
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
34 Ee Yerusalemu, u Yerusalemu, wogoga abhakuwa na bhakhome na mawe bhabhasontezyewe, mara halenga enanzile abhabhonganye abhana bhaho nenshe shila ekuku nebhoganya evyana vyakwe pansi eya mapiho gakwe, wala semwahanzile.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children around me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Enyaji, mreshewe enyumba yenyu. Nane embabhola, se mwailondola nante na mwaha, hata namwayiyanga asalwe yalwenza hwitawa elya Gosi.”
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
