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.
Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Pakuŵa Ŵagalilaya ŵala ŵaulajikwe kwanti yele, nkuganisya ŵaliji ŵakuleŵa kwapunda Ŵagalilaya ŵane wose?
And, answering, he said unto them—Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?
3 Isyene ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa yele, nambo iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall 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 fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?
5 Ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa, nambo ŵanyamwe nombe iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu, ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.”
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall 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.
And he went on to speak this parable: —A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and 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?’
And he said unto the vine-dresser—Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?
8 Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ambuje, tuchileche kaje namyaka chingachisyunguchisye lisimbo ni kutaga chajila.
And, he, answering, saith unto him—Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, —
9 Iŵaga chichisogole isogosi chaka chachikwika chi, yambone, nambo iŵaga ngachisogola chinchigwisye.’”
and if it may bear fruit for the future; …but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila limo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwiganya mu nyuumba ja kupopelela.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.
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.
And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, —and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.
12 Che Yesu paŵambweni jwankongwe jo ŵambilasile ni ŵansalile, “Jwankongwe, nlecheleswe, ulwele wenu ulamile!”
And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her—Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, —
13 Ŵansajichile makono gao ni papopo ŵajongweche ni kutanda kwakusya Akunnungu.
and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying 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 synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude—Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
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?
The Lord answered him, and said—Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?
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?”
But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?
17 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta gelego, ŵamakani ŵao wose yatesile soni nambo ŵandu ŵane wose ŵasengwile kwaligongo lya indu yose yakusimosya iŵaipangenye.
And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
18 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni chichi? Chinaulandanye ni chichi?
He went on to say, therefore—Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken 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 is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.
20 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu chinaulandanye ni chichi?
And, again, he said—Whereunto, shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ukulandana ni chilungo chiŵachijigele jwankongwe jumo ni kuwanganya pamo ni utandi wejinji, nipele utandi wose waumwiche.”
It is, like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until, the whole, was leavened.
22 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele ni ulendo wao wa ku Yelusalemu akuno achajiganyaga ŵandu mmisi ni mmisinda.
And he was journeying on, city by city and village by village, and making, progress, unto Jerusalem.
23 Mundu jumo ŵambusisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Ambuje, nganatupa ŵandu ŵachakulupuswe?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti,
And one said unto him—Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them—
24 “Nlimbile kwinjila kwa kupitila nnango wakunyilila pakuŵa ngunsalila kuti, ŵajinji chalinje kwinjila mwelemo, nambo chalepele.
Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able, —
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.’
when once the householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying—Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you—I know you not, whence ye are.
26 Pelepo chintande kwasalila, ‘Uwe ni ŵeŵala utwalile ni kung'wa pampepe nomwe, nomwe mwajiganyisye mmisi jetu.’
Then, will ye begin to say—We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;
27 Nambo ŵelewo chaachiti, ‘Ngangummanyilila namose kuntyochele, ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe wose ŵankupanganya yaigongomalo.’
And he will speak, saying unto you—I know not whence ye are; Depart from me, all workers of unrighteous—
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.
There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.
29 Ŵandu chaiche kutyochela mumbali mose mwa chilambo ni kutama kulya mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
And they shall have come from east and west, and from north and south, and be made recline in the kingdom of God.
30 Elo, kwana ŵane ŵaali ŵambesi chaaŵe ŵandanda ni ŵane ŵaali ŵandanda chaaŵe ŵambesi.”
And lo! there are, last, who shall be, first, and there 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.”
In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.
32 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Njaule nkalisalile lyele licheto kuti, ‘Nnole, lelo ni malaŵi ngugakoposya masoka ni kwalamya ŵakulwala ni ntondo chimalichisye masengo gangu.’
And he said unto them—Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, —
33 Nambo ikuumajila kwaula ulendo wangu lelo ni malaŵi ni ntondo, pakuŵa ngaikomboleka kuti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu aulajikwe kwine ikaŵe ku Yelusalemu.
and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, to-day, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside 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.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, —and ye did not desire!
35 Nnole! Mwanya chachinnechela musi wenu. Nipele ngunsalila kuti ngamumona une mpaka kele katema pachinchiti, ‘Akole upile ŵelewo ŵakwika mu liina lya Ambuje.’”
Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you—In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say, —Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
