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.
And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;
2 Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Pakuŵa Ŵagalilaya ŵala ŵaulajikwe kwanti yele, nkuganisya ŵaliji ŵakuleŵa kwapunda Ŵagalilaya ŵane wose?
and Jesus answering said to them, 'Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
3 Isyene ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa yele, nambo iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.
No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so 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, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
5 Ngunsalila kuti ngaŵa, nambo ŵanyamwe nombe iŵaga nganneka sambi syenu, ŵanyamwe nombe chinjonasiche.”
No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner 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 spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
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 do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?
8 Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ambuje, tuchileche kaje namyaka chingachisyunguchisye lisimbo ni kutaga chajila.
'And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;
9 Iŵaga chichisogole isogosi chaka chachikwika chi, yambone, nambo iŵaga ngachisogola chinchigwisye.’”
and if indeed it may bear fruit —; and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.'
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, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,
12 Che Yesu paŵambweni jwankongwe jo ŵambilasile ni ŵansalile, “Jwankongwe, nlecheleswe, ulwele wenu ulamile!”
and Jesus having seen her, did call [her] near, and said to her, 'Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'
13 Ŵansajichile makono gao ni papopo ŵajongweche ni kutanda kwakusya Akunnungu.
and he laid on her [his] hands, and presently she was set upright, and was 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!”
And the chief of the synagogue answering — much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed — said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it behoveth [us] to be working; in these, then, coming, 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?
Then the Lord answered him and said, 'Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water [it]?
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 this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed 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.
And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.
18 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu ukulandana ni chichi? Chinaulandanye ni chichi?
And he said, 'To what is the reign of God like? and to what 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 to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.'
20 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana Umwenye wa Akunnungu chinaulandanye ni chichi?
And again he said, 'To what shall I liken the reign 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, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'
22 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele ni ulendo wao wa ku Yelusalemu akuno achajiganyaga ŵandu mmisi ni mmisinda.
And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;
23 Mundu jumo ŵambusisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ana Ambuje, nganatupa ŵandu ŵachakulupuswe?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti,
and a certain one said to him, 'Sir, are those saved few?' and he said unto them,
24 “Nlimbile kwinjila kwa kupitila nnango wakunyilila pakuŵa ngunsalila kuti, ŵajinji chalinje kwinjila mwelemo, nambo chalepele.
'Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall 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.’
from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,
26 Pelepo chintande kwasalila, ‘Uwe ni ŵeŵala utwalile ni kung'wa pampepe nomwe, nomwe mwajiganyisye mmisi jetu.’
then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach;
27 Nambo ŵelewo chaachiti, ‘Ngangummanyilila namose kuntyochele, ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe wose ŵankupanganya yaigongomalo.’
and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the 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.
'There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;
29 Ŵandu chaiche kutyochela mumbali mose mwa chilambo ni kutama kulya mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign 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.”
On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, 'Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill 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 to them, 'Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am being perfected;
33 Nambo ikuumajila kwaula ulendo wangu lelo ni malaŵi ni ntondo, pakuŵa ngaikomboleka kuti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu aulajikwe kwine ikaŵe ku Yelusalemu.
but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of 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, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.
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 being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you — ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord.'
