Lukas 13
1 Eta baciraden batzu dembora hartan berean hari contatzen ceraucatenic Galileanoéz, ceinén odola Pilatec nahassi vkan baitzuen hayén sacrificioequin.
Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
2 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Vste duçue ecen Galileano hauc berce Galileano guciac baino bekatoreago ciradela, ceren halaco gauçác suffritu baitituzte?
Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
3 Ezetz diotsuet: aitzitic baldin emenda ezpaçaitezte guciac halaber galduren çarete.
I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
4 Ezpa, Siloeco dorreac gainera eroriric hil vkan cituen hemeçortzi hec, vste duçue Ierusalemeco habitant guciac baino hoguendunago ciradela?
Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Ezetz diotsuet: aitzitic baldin emenda ezpaçaitezte, guciac halaber galduren çarete.
I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
6 Erraiten çuen comparatione haur-ere, ficotzebat çuen edocein-batec landatua bere mahastian: eta fructu bilha ethor cedin hartara: eta etzeçan eriden.
Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
7 Eta erran cieçón mahasti çainari, Huná, hirur vrthe dic ethorten naicela fructu bilha ficotze hunetara, eta eztiat erideiten: picca eçac: certaco lurra-ere empatchatzen du?
Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
8 Eta harc ihardesten çuela erran cieçón, Iauna, vtzi eçac are vrthe hunetan, inguru aitzurtu duquedano, eta vngarri eman deçaqueodano.
But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
9 Eta baldin ekar badeça fructuric, vngui, ezpere, guero piccaturen duquec.
If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
10 Eta iracasten ari cen synagoga batetan Sabbathoan.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
11 Eta huná, emaztebat ethor cedin eritassunezco spiritua çuenic ia hemeçortzi vrthez: eta cen crocatua, eta neholetan-ere ecin chuchent ceiten.
There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
12 Eta hura ikussi çuenean Iesusec dei ceçan beregana, eta erran cieçón, Emaztea, lachatu aiz eure eritassunetic.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
13 Eta gainean eçar cietzón escuac, eta bertan chuchent cedin, eta glorificatzen çuen Iaincoa.
He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
14 Baina ihardesten çuela synagogaco principalac, gaitzituric ceren Sabbathoan sendatu çuen Iesusec, erran cieçon populuari, Sey egun dirade ceinetan lan eguin behar baita, hetan badaçatozte eta senda çaitezte, eta ez Sabbath egunean.
But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
15 lhardets cieçón bada Iaunac, eta erran ceçan, Hypocritá, çuetaric batbederac Sabbathoan eztu lachatzen bere idia edo bere astoa mangederatic, eta eramaiten ederatera?
Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
16 Eta Abrahamen alaba haur, cein estecatu baitzuen Satanec, huná, hemeçortzi vrthe duela, etzén estecadura hunetaric lachatu behar Sabbath egunean?
This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
17 Eta gauça hauc harc erraiten cituenean, confunditzen ciraden hari contrastatzen çaizquion guciac: baina populu gucia alegueratzen cen harçaz eguiten ciraden gauça glorioso guciéz.
After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Orduan erraiten çuen Iesusec, Cer irudi du Iaincoaren resumác? eta cerequin comparaturen dut hura?
Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
19 Mustarda bihia irudi du, cein harturic guiçon batec eçar baitzeçan bere baratzean, eta haz cedin eta arbore handia eguin cedin eta ceruco choriéc ohatzeac eguin dituzte haren adarretan.
It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
20 Eta berriz erran ceçan, Cerequin comparaturen dut Iaincoaren resumá?
Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
21 Altchagarria irudi du, cein harturic emazte batec eçar baitzeçan hirur neurri irinetan, gucia altchatu liçateno.
It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
22 Guero iragaiten cen hirietan eta burguètan, iracasten çuela, eta Ierusalemeratco bidea eguiten çuela.
[Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
23 Eta erran cieçón norbeitec, Iauna, gutiac dira saluatzen diradenac? Eta harc erran ciecén,
Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
24 Enseya çaitezte sartzen bortha herssitic: ecen anhitz, erraiten drauçuet, sarthu nahiz ebiliren diradela, eta ecin sarthuren baitirade.
[Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
25 Eta aitafamilia iaiqui datenean, eta borthá ertsi duqueenean, eta has çaiteztenean campoan egoiten, eta bortharen bulkatzen, erraiten duçuela, Iauna, Iauna, irequi eçaguc: eta ihasderten duela erranen drauçue, Eztaquit çuec nongo çareten.
[God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
26 Orduan hassiren çarete erraiten, Ian diagu hire presentián, eta edan diagu, eta gure carriquetan iracatsi duc hic.
Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
27 Eta erranen du, Erraiten drauçuet eztaquit çuec nongo çareten: parti çaitezte eneganic iniquitate eguiten duçuen guciác.
But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
28 Han içanen da nigar eta hortz garrascots: ikus ditzaçuenean Abraham, eta Isaac, eta Iacob eta Propheta guciac Iaincoaren resumán, eta çuec campora iraizten çaretela.
Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
29 Orduan ethorriren dirade Orientetic, eta Occidentetic: Aquilonetic, eta Egu-erditic: eta iarriren dirade mahainean Iaincoaren resumán.
Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
30 Eta huná, dirade azquen, lehen içanen diradenac: eta dirade lehen, azquen içanen diradenac.
Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
31 Egun hartan berean hurbil citecen Phariseuetaric batzu, erraiten ceraucatela, Ilki adi, eta oha hemendic: ecen Herodesec hil nahi au.
At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
32 Eta erran ciecén, Çoazte eta erroçue aceri hari, Huná, egoizten citiát deabruac campora, eta sendatzea acabatzen diát egun eta bihar, eta hereneco egunean fin hartzen diat.
He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
33 Baina bide eguin behar diat egun eta bihar eta etzi: ecen eztuc guerthatzen Prophetaric batre hil dadin Ierusalemetic lekora.
But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
34 Ierusaleme, Ierusaleme, ceinec hiltzen baitituc Prophetác, eta lapidatzen hiregana igorri diradenac, cembat aldiz nahi vkan ditut bildu hire haourrac, oilloac bere chito aldea bere hegalén azpira beçala, eta ezpaituçue nahi vkan?
[Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
35 Horrá vtziten çaiçue çuen etchea desert. Baina eguiaz diotsuet, ecen eznauçuela ikussiren, guertha daiteno darraçuen, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten dena.
So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
