Luka 13
1 Nthawi yomweyo panali ena amene analipo omwe amamuwuza Yesu za Agalileya amene magazi awo Pilato anawasakaniza ndi nsembe zawo.
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi mukuganiza kuti Agalileya amenewa anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa Agalileya ena onse chifukwa anavutika mʼnjira iyi?
And Jesus answering, said to them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.
I tell you, No; but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Kapena anthu 18 aja amene anafa nsanja ya Siloamu itawagwera, kodi mukuganiza kuti iwo aja anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa onse amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.”
I tell you, No; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 Kenaka Iye anawawuza fanizo kuti, “Munthu wina anali ndi mtengo wamkuyu, umene anadzala mʼmunda wamphesa, ndipo Iye anapita kukayangʼana zipatso, koma sanazipeze.
He spoke also this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.
7 Tsono kwa munthu amene amasamalira munda wamphesawo anati, ‘Kwa zaka zitatu tsopano ndakhala ndikubwera kudzafuna chipatso pa mtengo uwu ndipo sindinachipeze. Udule! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuwononga nthaka?’
Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 “Munthuyo anayankha kuti, ‘Bwana, tawusiyani kwa chaka chimodzi chokha ndipo ine ndikumba ngalande mozungulira ndi kuthira manyowa.
And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
9 Ngati udzabale zipatso chaka chamawa, zili bwino! Koma ngati sudzabala, pamenepo mudzawudule.’”
And if it shall bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Pa Sabata Yesu ankaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge ina,
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 ndipo momwemo munali mayi amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene unamudwalitsa zaka 18. Iye anali wokhota msana ndipo samatha kuweramuka ndi pangʼono pomwe.
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise raise [herself].
12 Yesu atamuona anamuyitana kutsogolo ndipo anati kwa iye, “Amayi, mwamasulidwa ku mavuto.”
And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity.
13 Kenaka anasanjika manja ake pa iye, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anawongoka nayamika Mulungu.
And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Chifukwa cha kuyipidwa kuti Yesu anachiritsa pa Sabata, wolamulira sunagoge anati kwa anthu, “Pali masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito. Choncho bwerani kuti mudzachiritsidwe masiku amenewo osati pa Sabata.”
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath.
15 Ambuye anamuyankha kuti, “Iwe wachiphamaso! Kodi nonsenu simumasula pa Sabata ngʼombe zanu kapena bulu kumuchotsa mʼkhola ndi kupita naye kukamupatsa madzi?
The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite, 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 Nanga mayiyu, amene ndi mwana wa Abrahamu, ndipo anamangidwa ndi Satana zaka 18, kodi siwoyenera kuti amasulidwe msinga imeneyi pa tsiku la Sabata?”
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?
17 Atanena izi, onse omutsutsa anachititsidwa manyazi, koma anthu anakondwera ndi zodabwitsa zonse zimene Iye anazichita.
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Kenaka Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu uli ngati chiyani? Kodi Ine ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I resemble it?
19 Uli ngati mbewu ya mpiru, imene munthu anatenga ndi kudzala mʼmunda mwake. Inakula, nʼkukhala mtengo, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zinakhala mʼnthambi zake.”
It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 Iye anafunsanso kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Uli ngati yisiti amene mayi anatenga ndi kusakaniza ndi ufa wambiri mpaka anafufumitsa ufawo.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Ndipo Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda ndi mʼmidzi, kumaphunzitsa pamene Iye ankapita ku Yerusalemu.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Wina anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Ambuye, kodi ndi anthu ochepa okha amene adzapulumutsidwe?” Iye anawawuza kuti,
Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them,
24 “Yesetsani kulowa pa khomo lopapatiza, chifukwa ndikukuwuzani kuti ambiri adzafuna kulowa koma sadzatha kutero.
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 Nthawi yomwe mwini nyumba adzayimirira ndi kutseka chitseko, inu mudzayima kunja kugogoda ndi kudandaula kuti, ‘Bwana, tatitsekulirani khomo.’ “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera.’
When once the master of the house hath risen, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 “Ndipo inu mudzati, tinkadya ndi kumwa ndi inu ndipo munkaphunzitsa mʼmisewu yathu.
Then ye will begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera. Chokereni inu nonse ochita zoyipa!’
But he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.
28 “Mudzalira ndi kukuta mano mukadzaona Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo ndi aneneri onse ali mu ufumu wa Mulungu koma inuyo mutaponyedwa kunja.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] excluded.
29 Anthu adzachokera kummawa ndi kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera, kudzakhala pa phwando mu ufumu wa Mulungu.
And they will come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Ndithudi otsirizira ndiye adzakhale oyambirira, ndipo oyambirira ndiye adzakhale otsirizira.”
And behold, there are last, who shall be first; and there are first who shall be last.
31 Pa nthawi imeneyo Afarisi anabwera kwa Yesu ndipo anati kwa Iye, “Chokani malo ano ndipo pitani kumalo ena aliwonse. Herode akufuna kukuphani.”
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Go out, and depart hence; for Herod will kill thee.
32 Iye anayankha kuti, “Pitani kawuzeni nkhandweyo, Ine ndikutulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchiritsa anthu lero ndi mawa ndipo tsiku lachitatu ndidzakwaniritsa cholinga changa.”
And he said to them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected.
33 Mʼnjira ina iliyonse, Ine ndiyenera kupitirira ulendo wanga lero, mawa ndi mkuja. Zoona nʼzakuti mneneri sangafere kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.
34 Iwe Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu! Umapha aneneri ndi kuwagenda miyala anthu amene atumizidwa kwa iwe. Nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikufuna kusonkhanitsa ana ako pamodzi, monga nkhuku imasonkhanitsira anapiye pansi pa mapiko ake, koma iwe sunafune!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen [gathereth] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!
35 Taona, nyumba yako yasanduka bwinja. Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, sudzandionanso mpaka pamene udzati, “Wodala amene akubwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!”
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And verily I say to you, ye shall not see me, until [the time shall] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
