Luka 7
1 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambila bantu maswi awa, walaya ku Kapelenawo.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Kwalikuba mutangunishi naumbi walikuba mukulene wa bashilikali bakwana mwanda walikuba ne musha ngwali kusuna. Musha uyo wali kakolwa cakwambeti walikuba pepi ne kufwa
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Lino mpwalanyufwa lulumbi lwa Yesu, walatuma bamakulene nabambi ba Bayuda kuya akumusengeti amushilike musebenshi wa mukulene wa bashilikali.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Abo balatumwa balashika kuli Yesu, balamusenga camakasa abili kwambeti, “Kamubonani uyu muntu mwelela kumunyafwa,
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 pakwinga usuni mushobo wetu kayi walatwibakila ng'anda yakupaililamo.”
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Lino Yesu walaya nabo. Mpwalashika pepi ne ng'anda, mukulene wa bashilikali walatuma banendi kuli Yesu kuya kumwambileti, “Mwami, mutalishupa, pakwinga ame nkandelela kwambeti amwe mwingile mung'anda yakame.
Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Weco ndiya kulibikapo kuba walulama kwisa kuli njamwe. Nomba mwambowa maswi musha wakame nabe cena.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Pakwinga nenjame nkute kukonkela milawo yabamakulene pancinto kayi nkute bashilikali mbonkute kutangunina. Na ndamwambili mushilikali eti, koya, neye ukute kuya. Na ndamwambili mushilikali eti, Kwesa, neye ukute kwisa, Na ndamwambili musha wakame eti, insa ici, neye ukute kwinsa.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Yesu mpwalanyumfweco, walakankamana. Lino walalanga kubantu bangi abo balikumukonkela ne kwambeti, “Cakubinga ndiya kubonapo lushomo lwamushoboyu pakati paba Isilaeli sobwe!”
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 Balatumwa basa balabwelela kung'anda, nekuya akucana musha uyo laba cena.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Kufumapo Yesu walaya mumunshi umbi ukute kukwiweti Naini. Beshikwiya bakendi nelikoto lya bantu balaya nendi.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 Yesu mpwalashika pepi ne munshi, walakumanya bantu kabali banyamuna citumbi, ca mutuloba wafwa walikuba emwana enka kuli banyina bamuka lubingi. Bantu bangi ba mumunshi balikuba pamo ne mukalubingi.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 Yesu mpwalabona mukalubingi uyo walamunyumfwila inkumbo ne kumwambileti, “Kocileka kulila.”
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Yesu walashika kuntangu ne kwikata citumbi ico, Lino balikuba bamanta citumbi ico balemana. Kayi kufumapo walambeti, “Obe mwana mutuloba ndakwambilingeti, punduka!”
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Mwana mutuloboyo walikuba wafwa walapunduka nekwikala, walatatika kwamba. Lino Yesu walamubwesha kuli banyina.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Nomba bantu bonse balatina, popelapo balalumbaisha Lesa kabambeti, “Mushinshimi mukulene labonekele pakati petu, kayi Lesa wesa akupulusha bantu bakendi.”
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Kufumapo lulumbi lwa Yesu yalamwaika mucishi conse ca Yudeya kayi ne bishi byonse byalikuba byashunguluka.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Beshikwiya ba Yohane balamwambila byonse. Lino Yohane walakuwa babili pa beshikwiya bakendi,
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 ne kubatuma kuli Mwami Yesu kuya kwipusheti, “Sena njamwe ngwalamba Yohane eti lesanga nambi tulangilile naumbi?”
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 Balatumwa abo mpobalashika kuli Yesu, balamwambileti, “Yohane mubatishi latutumu kwambeti twipushe na njamwe uyo lesanga nambi tulangililenga naumbi?”
When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Pacindico Yesu walikashilika malwashi abantu bangi apusana pusana, bamapensho ne kufunya mishimu yaipa kayi walasengula bampofu bangi.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Lino Yesu walakumbula beshikwiya ba Yohane eti, “Kamuyani mumwambile Yohane byonse mbyomulabono ne kunyufwa, bampofu balabononga, balema myendo balendenga, beshimankuntu balabanga cena, bashinka matwi balanyufunga, bafu balapundukunga kayi bapenga balanyumfunga Mulumbe Waina.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Walelekwa muntu uyo labulunga kutonshanya pali njame.”
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 Lino beshikwiya bakendi Yohane mpobalaya, Yesu walatatika kwambila bantu bangi balikubapo sha makani a Yohane mubatishi eti, “Mpomwalaya akubona Yohane mucinyika mwalikuyeyeti ulyeti cani? Sena mwalikuyeyeti Yohane uliya ngofu eti litete likute kutenkanowa ne mpepo?
When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Nomba mwalikuyeyeti Yohane ulyeti cani? Sena nimuntu walikuba wafwala byakufwala byaina? Sobwe bantu beshi kufwala byaina, bakute kusuna malyalya nekwikala mumanda abami.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 Kamung'ambila, nicani ncomwalaya akubona? Sena mwalikuyeyeti Yohane nimushinshimi? Ee, ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti mwalabona wapita mushinshimi.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Pakwinga Yohane ewuyo walambwa mumabala a Lesa, Lesa walambeti, “Ninkatume mutumwa wakame kuntangu kwakobe kwambeti akakubambile nshila.”
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 “Ndamwambilinga kufuma keendi kuliyawa kubapo muntu wapita Yohane, nsombi usa mung'ana mu Bwami bwa Lesa emukulene kupita endiye.”
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 Bantu bonse ne beshikusonkesha misonko balanyumfwa kukambauka kwa Yohane, mpobalabatishiwa balasumina kwambeti Lesa walulama.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 Nsombi Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha Milawo pakukana kubatishiwa ne Yohane, balakana ncalikuyanda kubenshila Lesa.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 Yesu walapitilisha kwambeti, “Anu bantu ba cino cindi ngandi bakoshanisha ne cani? Anu balyeti cani?”
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Balyeti batwanike bekala pabusena bwakulishilapo kabolobeshanyeti, “Twalamulilishila ngoma, amwe muliya kushana! ‘Twalamwimbila inyimbo sha malila amwe muliya kulila!’
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33 “Pakwinga Yohane mubatishi walesa nkalikanisha kulya kayi nkali kunwapo waini, nomba amwe mwalambeti, ‘Ukute mushimu waipa.’
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Lino Mwana Muntu mpwalesa walatatika kulya ne kunwa, amwe mwalambeti, kamubonani ni weshikulyowa nekukolwa, kayi banendi ni beshimisonko kayi ne babwipishi.
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Nsombi mano a Lesa akute kubonekela kuba ancine ncine kuli bonse bakute kwatambula.”
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Mufalisi naumbi walakuwa Yesu eti ayenga akulya nendiye. Lino Yesu walaya akwingila mung'anda nekwikala pakulyela.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 Mu munshi uwu mwalikuba mutukashi wabwikalo bwaipa. Mpwalanyumfweti Yesu lalinga mung'anda ya Mufalisi uyo, walamanta kankuli kesula mafuta anunkila cena.
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 Walashika nekusuntama kunyuma kwa Yesu, pepi ne myendo kalila. Walatontosha myendo bya Yesu ne misoshi yakendi ne kutatika kwipukuta ne mishishi yakendi, nekumyanguta bimpanta bya Yessu ne kutatika kumunanika mafuta ayo.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Lino Mufalisi usa walakuwa Yesu mpwalaboneco, walatatika kuyeyeti, “Muntu uyu nabanga mushinshimi wancincine nalenshibi mbuli ncabele mutukashi uyu lamwikatanga pakwinga nkamwisheti nimwipishi.”
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Shimoni nkute byakukwambila.” Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Beshikwiyisha kamwambani”
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Yesu walambeti, “Palikuba bantu babili balabweleka mali ku muntu. Umo walabweleka myanda isanu ya mali, naumbi mali makumi asanu.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Mpocalashika cindi ca kubwesha, bonse babili balalilwa kubwesha nkongole, lino walabalekelela. Nomba pabantu babili basa, nupeyo shikubwelekesha mali ngweshakasune cikamba?”
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Ame ndayeyengeti uyo walabweleka mali angi,” Yesu walamwambileti, “Ulakumbulu cena.”
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Lino walalanga kumuntukashi usa ne kumwambila Shimoni eti, “Sena ulabono mutukashi uyu? Mpondashiki mung'anda yakobe uliyawa kumpapo menshi akusamba kumyendo. Nsombi nendi lasambishi myendo yakame nemishoshi yakendi nekwipukuta ne mishishi yakendi.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Obe uliyawa kumyanguta pakumpa mutende, nsombi nendi kufuma mpondeshili mung'anda liya kucilekapo kumyanguta myendo yakame.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Bona mondeshili uliyawa kunanikapo mafuta mumutwi, nsombi uyu lananiki mafuta anunkila cena kubimpanta.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Ndakwambilinga cancine ncine, kuyandishisha kunene nkwalandeshe, cilaleshengeti bwipishi bwakendi bwingi bulalekelelwa. Nomba muntu lalekelelwa bwipishi bung'ana ukute kusuna pang'ana.”
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Kufumapo Yesu walamwambila mutukashi uyo eti, “Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Lino abo bali kabalya pamo ne Yesu balatatika kwipushanyeti, “Anu niyani muntu uyu weshi kulekelela ne bwipishi?”
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Lino Yesu walambila mutukashi uyo eti, “Lushomo lwakobe lulakupulushu, koya mulumuno.”
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
