< Luke 13 >

1 Àwọn kan sì wá ní àkókò náà tí ó sọ ti àwọn ará Galili fún un, ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹni tí Pilatu dàpọ̀ mọ́ ẹbọ wọn.
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 Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ṣe bí àwọn ará Galili wọ̀nyí ṣe ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ju gbogbo àwọn ará Galili lọ, nítorí wọ́n jẹ irú ìyà bá-wọ̀n-ọn-nì?
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Mo wí fún yín, bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ronúpìwàdà, gbogbo yín ni yóò ṣègbé bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Tàbí àwọn méjìdínlógún, tí ilé ìṣọ́ ní Siloamu wó lù, tí ó sì pa wọ́n, ẹ̀yin ṣe bí wọ́n ṣe ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ju gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ ní Jerusalẹmu lọ?
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 Mo wí fún yín, bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin ronúpìwàdà, gbogbo yín ni yóò ṣègbé bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́.”
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
6 Ó sì pa òwe yìí fún wọn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan ní igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ kan tí a gbìn sí ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀; ó sì dé, ó ń wá èso lórí rẹ̀, kò sì rí nǹkan.
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 Ó sì wí fún olùṣọ́gbà rẹ̀ pé, ‘Sá à wò ó, láti ọdún mẹ́ta ni èmi ti ń wá í wo èso lórí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ yìí, èmi kò sì rí nǹkan: ké e lulẹ̀; èéṣe tí ó fi ń gbilẹ̀ lásán pẹ̀lú?’
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 “Ó sì dáhùn ó wí fún un pé, ‘Olúwa, jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ ní ọdún yìí pẹ̀lú, títí èmi ó fi tu ilẹ̀ ìdí rẹ̀ yíká, títí èmi ó sì fi bu ìlẹ̀dú sí i.
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
9 Bí ó bá sì so èso, o dara bẹ́ẹ̀: bí kò bá sì so, ǹjẹ́ lẹ́yìn èyí nì kí ìwọ kí ó ké e lulẹ̀.’”
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
10 Ó sì ń kọ́ni nínú Sinagọgu kan ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 Sì kíyèsi i, obìnrin kan wà níbẹ̀ tí ó ní ẹ̀mí àìlera, láti ọdún méjìdínlógún wá, ẹni tí ó tẹ̀ tán, tí kò le gbé ara rẹ̀ sókè bí ó ti wù kí ó ṣe.
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 Nígbà tí Jesu rí i, ó pè é sí ọ̀dọ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Obìnrin yìí, a tú ọ sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àìlera rẹ.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 Ó sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé e, Lójúkan náà a sì ti sọ ọ́ di títọ́, ó sì ń yin Ọlọ́run lógo.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 Olórí Sinagọgu sì kún fún ìrunú, nítorí tí Jesu mú ni láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ó sì wí fún ìjọ ènìyàn pé, ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ní ń bẹ tí a fi í ṣiṣẹ́, nínú wọn ni kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wá kí á ṣe dídá ara yín, kí ó má ṣe ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, olúkúlùkù yín kì í tú màlúù tàbí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ kúrò ní ibùso, kì í sì í fà á lọ mu omi ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
“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 Kò sì yẹ kí a tú obìnrin yìí tí í ṣe ọmọbìnrin Abrahamu sílẹ̀ ní ìdè yìí ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ẹni tí Satani ti dè, sá à wò ó láti ọdún méjìdínlógún yìí wá?”
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 Nígbà tí ó sì wí nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ojú ti gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn sì yọ̀ fún ohun ìyanu gbogbo tí ó ṣe.
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 Ó sì wí pé, “Kín ni ìjọba Ọlọ́run jọ? Kín ni èmi ó sì fiwé?
So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Ó dàbí hóró musitadi, tí ọkùnrin kan mú, tí ó sì sọ sínú ọgbà rẹ̀; tí ó sì hù, ó sì di igi ńlá; àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì ń gbé orí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀.”
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 Ó sì tún wí pé, “Kín ni èmi ìbá fi ìjọba Ọlọ́run wé?
And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ó dàbí ìwúkàrà, tí obìnrin kan mú, tí ó fi sínú òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun mẹ́ta, títí gbogbo rẹ̀ ó fi di wíwú.”
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
22 Ó sì ń la àárín ìlú àti ìletò lọ, ó ń kọ́ni, ó sì ń rìn lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Ẹnìkan sì bi í pé, Olúwa, díẹ̀ ha kọ ni àwọn tí a ó gbàlà? Ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
“Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
24 “Ẹ làkàkà láti gba ojú ọ̀nà tóóró wọlé, nítorí mo wí fún yín, ènìyàn púpọ̀ ni yóò wá ọ̀nà láti wọ̀ ọ́, wọn kì yóò sì lè wọlé.
“Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Nígbà tí baálé ilé bá dìde lẹ́ẹ̀kan fùú, tí ó bá sí ti ìlẹ̀kùn, ẹ̀yin ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í dúró lóde, tí ẹ ó máa kan ìlẹ̀kùn, wí pé, ‘Olúwa, Olúwa, ṣí i fún wa!’ “Òun ó sì dáhùn wí fún yín pé, ‘Èmi kò mọ̀ ibi tí ẹ̀yin ti wá.’ Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò mọ̀ yín.
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 “Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí wí pé, ‘Àwa ti jẹ, àwa sì ti mu níwájú rẹ, ìwọ sì kọ́ni ní ìgboro ìlú wa.’
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 “Òun ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi wí fún yín èmi kò mọ̀ ibi tí ẹ̀yin ti wá; ẹ lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.’
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
28 “Níbẹ̀ ni ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò wà, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ó rí Abrahamu, àti Isaaki, àti Jakọbu, àti gbogbo àwọn wòlíì, ní ìjọba Ọlọ́run, tí a ó sì ti ẹ̀yin sóde.
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 Wọn ó sì ti ilẹ̀ ìlà-oòrùn, àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn wá, àti láti àríwá, àti gúúsù wá, wọn ó sì jókòó ní ìjọba Ọlọ́run.
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 Sì wò ó, àwọn ẹni ẹ̀yìn ń bẹ tí yóò di ẹni iwájú, àwọn ẹni iwájú ń bẹ tí yóò di ẹni ẹ̀yìn.”
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
31 Ní wákàtí kan náà, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn Farisi tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Jáde, kí ìwọ sì lọ kúrò níhìn-ín yìí: nítorí Herodu ń fẹ́ pa ọ́.”
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ, kí ẹ̀yin sì sọ fún kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀ náà pé, ‘Kíyèsi i, èmi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, èmi ń ṣe ìmúláradá lónìí àti lọ́la, àti ní ọjọ́ mẹ́ta èmi ó ṣe àṣepé.’
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 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò jẹ́ má rìn lónìí, àti lọ́la, àti ní ọ̀túnla: dájúdájú wòlíì kan ki yóò ṣègbé lẹ́yìn odi Jerusalẹmu.
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 “Jerusalẹmu, Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí o pa àwọn wòlíì, tí o sì sọ òkúta lu àwọn tí a rán sí ọ pa; nígbà mélòó ni èmi ń fẹ́ ràgà bo àwọn ọmọ rẹ, bí àgbébọ̀ adìyẹ ti í ràgà bo àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lábẹ́ apá rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fẹ́!
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 Sá wò ó, a fi ilé yín sílẹ̀ fún yín ní ahoro. Lóòtítọ́ ni mo sì wí fún yín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí mi títí yóò fi di àkókò tí ẹ̀yin ó wí pé, ‘Olùbùkún ni ẹni tí ó ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa.’”
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.’”
