Luka 13
1 Katema kakoko ŵaiche ŵandu ŵampepe ni ŵaasalile Che Yesu ngani sya ŵandu ŵa ku Galilaya ŵaŵaulegwe ni che Pilato paŵaliji nkusikita inyama yao ya mbopesi ni miasi jao jawanganyiche ni mbopesi jao.
There were present then some, who informed Jesus of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices.
2 Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Pakuŵa Ŵagalilaya ŵala ŵaulajikwe kwanti yele, nkuganisya ŵaliji ŵakuleŵa kwapunda Ŵagalilaya ŵane wose?
Jesus answering, said to them, Do you think that these Galileans were the greatest sinners in all Galilee, because they suffered such usage?
3 Isyene ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa yele, nambo iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.
I tell you, No: but unless you reform, you shall all likewise perish;
4 Iyoyo peyo ana nkuganichisya kuti ŵandu kumi na nane ŵala, ŵaŵagwililwe ni nyuumba jeleu ku Siloamu kula ni kuwa ŵaliji ŵakuleŵa kupunda ŵane wose ŵakutama ku Yelusalemu?
or, those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew them; do you think that they were the greatest profligates in Jerusalem?
5 Ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa, nambo ŵanyamwe nombe iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu, ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.”
I tell you, No: but unless you reform, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatanjile chitagu chi, “Paliji ni mundu jumpepe juŵaliji ni chitela chachikuŵilanjikwa cha ntini chichapandikwe mu ngunda wa Misabibu. Mundu jo ŵajawile kukusosa isogosi yakwe nambo nganachisimana chindu.
He also spoke this parable: A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
7 Nipele, mundu jo ŵansalile jwakuugosa ngunda wo kuti, ‘Mpilikane! Une iicheje yaka itatu yi kukusosa isogosi ya chitela cha ntini chi, nambo nachisimene changasogola. Nchigwisye! Pakuŵa chikumala chajila pangali chindu?’
Then he said to the vine-dresser, This is the third year that I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, without finding any. Cut it down: why should it cumber the ground?
8 Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ambuje, tuchileche kaje namyaka chingachisyunguchisye lisimbo ni kutaga chajila.
He answered, Sir, let it alone one year longer till I dig about it, and manure it;
9 Iŵaga chichisogole isogosi chaka chachikwika chi, yambone, nambo iŵaga ngachisogola chinchigwisye.’”
perhaps it will bear fruit: if not, you may afterward cut it down.
10 Pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila limo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwiganya mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
On the Sabbath, as he was teaching in a synagogue,
11 Ni sooni paliji ni jwankongwe jwakulwala papopo pepo juŵakamwilwe ni lisoka kwa yaka likumi ni nsano ni itatu. Ngongo wakwe wapindiche ni nganakombolaga kulijongola uchenene ng'oo.
a woman was present, who, for eighteen years, had a spirit of infirmity, by which she was so bowed down that she could not so much as look up.
12 Che Yesu paŵambweni jwankongwe jo ŵambilasile ni ŵansalile, “Jwankongwe, nlecheleswe, ulwele wenu ulamile!”
Jesus, perceiving her, called her to him, and, laying his hand on her, said, Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity.
13 Ŵansajichile makono gao ni papopo ŵajongweche ni kutanda kwakusya Akunnungu.
Immediately she stood upright, and glorified God.
14 Nambo jwankulungwa jwa nyuumba jakupopelela ŵatumbile ligongo Che Yesu ŵannamisye jwankongwe jo pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, nipele ŵausalile mpingo wa ŵandu ula kuti, “Gapali moŵa nsano ni limo gakwaŵajila ŵandu kupanganya masengo. Kwa gele moŵa njise kukulamwa ilwele yenu nambo ngaŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila!”
But the director of the synagogue, moved with indignation, because Jesus had performed a cure on the Sabbath, said to the people, There are six days for working; come, therefore, on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 Pelepo Ambuje ŵajanjile, “Ŵaulamba ŵanyamwe! Ana ŵaani pasikati jenu jwangakujiugulila ng'ombe jakwe pane mbunda jakwe mulichinga ni kujilongosya kukung'wa meesi atamuno lili Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?
To which the Lord replied, Hypocrites! who is there amongst you that does not, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 Sambano, jwankongwe ju, uŵelesi u che Iblahimu, juŵataŵikwe ni Shetani kwa yaka likumi ni nsano ni itatu. Ana ngaikusachilwa kunnamya jwankongwe ju namuno lili Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
And must not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound, lo! these eighteen years, be released from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta gelego, ŵamakani ŵao wose yatesile soni nambo ŵandu ŵane wose ŵasengwile kwaligongo lya indu yose yakusimosya iŵaipangenye.
On his saying this, all his opposers were ashamed; but the whole multitude was delighted with all the glorious actions performed by him.
18 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni chichi? Chinaulandanye ni chichi?
He said, moreover, What does the kingdom of God resemble? To what shall I compare it?
19 Ukulandana ni mbeju jamwana ja chitela chachikuŵilanjikwa haladali jiŵajigele mundu jumo ni kujipanda mungunda mwakwe. Jamesile ni chaliji chitela chachikulungwa ni ijuni yataŵile isusi mu nyambi syakwe.”
It resembles a grain of mustard seed, which a man threw into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air took shelter in its branches.
20 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu chinaulandanye ni chichi?
Again, he said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Ukulandana ni chilungo chiŵachijigele jwankongwe jumo ni kuwanganya pamo ni utandi wejinji, nipele utandi wose waumwiche.”
It resembles leaven, which a woman mingled in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele ni ulendo wao wa ku Yelusalemu akuno achajiganyaga ŵandu mmisi ni mmisinda.
And he took a journey to Jerusalem; teaching as he passed through cities and villages:
23 Mundu jumo ŵambusisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Ambuje, nganatupa ŵandu ŵachakulupuswe?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti,
and one asked him, Master, are there but few who shall be saved? He answered,
24 “Nlimbile kwinjila kwa kupitila nnango wakunyilila pakuŵa ngunsalila kuti, ŵajinji chalinje kwinjila mwelemo, nambo chalepele.
Force your entrance through the straight gate; for many, I assure you, will request to be admitted, who shall not prevail.
25 Chikaiche katema ka nsyene nyuumba pachajimuche ni kuugala nnango. Ŵanyamwe chinjime pasa ni kutanda kupoposya nchitiji, ‘Ambuje, ntuugulile nnango.’ Nambo ŵelewo chachijanga kuti, ‘Ngangummanyilila namose ngangukumanyilila kuntyochele.’
If once the master of the house shall have arisen and locked the door, and you standing without and knocking, say, Master, Master, open to us; he will answer, I know not whence you are.
26 Pelepo chintande kwasalila, ‘Uwe ni ŵeŵala utwalile ni kung'wa pampepe nomwe, nomwe mwajiganyisye mmisi jetu.’
Then they will say, We have eat and drunk with you, and you have taught in our streets.
27 Nambo ŵelewo chaachiti, ‘Ngangummanyilila namose kuntyochele, ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe wose ŵankupanganya yaigongomalo.’
But he will answer, I tell you, I know not whence you are: remove hence, all you workers of unrighteousness.
28 Nipele kweleko chikupagwe ni kulila ni kuchilimya meeno, pachinchawona che Iblahimu ni che Isaka ni che Yakobo ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu wose ali mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu nambo mwachinsyene nkanikwe kwinjila.
Then will ensue weeping, and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets received into the kingdom of God, and yourselves excluded:
29 Ŵandu chaiche kutyochela mumbali mose mwa chilambo ni kutama kulya mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
nay, people will come from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south, and will place themselves at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Elo, kwana ŵane ŵaali ŵambesi chaaŵe ŵandanda ni ŵane ŵaali ŵandanda chaaŵe ŵambesi.”
And, behold, they are last, who shall be first; and they are first, who shall be last.
31 Katema kakoko Mafalisayo ŵampepe ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni ŵaasalile kuti, “Ntyoche pelepa njaule kwine, pakuŵa mwenye che Helode akusaka kumbulaga.”
The same day, certain Pharisees came to him, and said, Get away; depart hence, for Herod intends to kill you.
32 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Njaule nkalisalile lyele licheto kuti, ‘Nnole, lelo ni malaŵi ngugakoposya masoka ni kwalamya ŵakulwala ni ntondo chimalichisye masengo gangu.’
He answered, Go, tell that fox, To-day and to-morrow I expel demons, and perform cures, and the third day my course will be completed.
33 Nambo ikuumajila kwaula ulendo wangu lelo ni malaŵi ni ntondo, pakuŵa ngaikomboleka kuti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu aulajikwe kwine ikaŵe ku Yelusalemu.
Nevertheless, I must walk about to-day and to-morrow, and the day following; for it can not be, that a prophet should be cut off anywhere but in Jerusalem.
34 “Ugwe Yelusalemu! Yelusalemu! Nkwaulaga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni kwaputa maganga ŵaŵatumikwe kukwenu ŵala. Ana kalingwa nasachile kwakumbikanya ŵanache ŵenu pamo, mpela nguku ijikuti pakwautamila ŵanache ŵakwe nambo mwanya nganinsaka.
O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killest the prophets, and stonest them whom God sends to you! how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings; but you would not!
35 Nnole! Mwanya chachinnechela musi wenu. Nipele ngunsalila kuti ngamumona une mpaka kele katema pachinchiti, ‘Akole upile ŵelewo ŵakwika mu liina lya Ambuje.’”
Quickly shall your house be deserted; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not see me, till the time when you shall say, Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
