< Luka 7 >

1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyi kwa ŵandu ŵajawile ku Kapelenaumu.
And when He completed all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum;
2 Kweleko kwaliji ni chilongola jumo jwa ŵandu ŵangondo mia moja ŵa chiloma juŵaliji ni kapolo juŵankundile nnope. Jwele kapolo jo ŵaliji nkulwala chiŵandi ni kuwa.
and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3 Chilongola jula paŵasipilikene ngani si Che Yesu, ŵaatumile achachekulu ŵane ŵa Ŵayahudi ajaule akaachondelele kuti aiche kukunlamya kapolo jwao.
and having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.
4 Paŵaiche ku Che Yesu, ŵanchondelele nnope achitiji, “Mundu ju akuŵajilwa kukamuchiswa,
And they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,
5 pakuŵa akwanonyela ŵandu ŵetu, sooni ni jwatutaŵile nyuumba ja kupopelela.”
for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”
6 Nipele Che Yesu ŵalongene nawo. Paŵaliji nkuŵandichila kwika pa nyuumba ja chilongola jula, chilongola jula ŵaatumile achambusangagwe ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje nnalisausye nnope, pakuŵa une nganguŵajilwa mmwejo njinjile mu nyuumba jangu.
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when He is not far distant from the house the centurion sent to Him friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not be troubled, for I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof;
7 Ali ni ligongo naliweni nganguŵajilwa kwika kukwenu nansyene. Nambo mmechete liloŵe pe ni jwakutumichila jwangu chalame.
for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will be healed;
8 Pakuŵa noneji nombe ndili mundu jundi paasi pa ulamusi, sooni ngwete ŵangondo paasi pa une. Nansalilaga jumo ‘Njaule!’ Nombejo akwaula ni jwine, ‘Njise!’ Nombejo akwika ni kapolo jwangu, ‘Ntende achi!’ Nombejo akuchitenda.”
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Be coming, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does [it].”
9 Che Yesu paŵapikene yeleyo, ŵansimosile, nombejo ŵagalauchile ŵandu ŵajinji ŵala ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya ni ŵaasalile, “Nganinachiwone chikulupi chachikulungwa mpela achi namuno mu ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli!”
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so much faith”;
10 Ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ŵala paŵaiche kumusi kwa chilongola jula ŵansimene kapolo jwao jula ali alamile.
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 Kundaŵi jakwe, Che Yesu ŵajawile mu musi umo waukuŵilanjikwa Naini, mpingo wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalongene nawo.
And it came to pass, on the next day, He was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with Him many of His disciples, and a great multitude,
12 Nipele paŵaliji aninkuŵandichila pannango wa musi, ŵakopochele ŵandu ali ajigele malilo ga jwanchanda, mwana jwajikajika pe jwa jwankongwe jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe. Ni ŵandu achajinji wa musi ula ŵaliji pamo ni jwankongwe jula.
and as He came near to the gate of the city, then, behold, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13 Ambuje Che Yesu paŵammweni jwankongwe jo ŵankolele chanasa, ni ŵansalile, “Nkalila.”
And the LORD having seen her, was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not be weeping”;
14 Nipele ŵajawile ni kuchikwaya chitagala chila ni ŵaŵajigele ŵala ŵajimi. Nipele ŵatite, “Mmwe nchanda! Ngunsalila, njimuche!”
and having come near, He touched the bier, and those carrying [it] stood still, and He said, “Young man, to you I say, Arise”;
15 Jwamwe jula ŵajimwiche ni kutama ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ni Che Yesu ŵauchisye achikulugwe.
and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother;
16 Ŵandu wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba ni ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Jwakulondola jwankulu jwa Akunnungu akopochele kukwetu. Akunnungu aiiche kukwakamusya ŵandu ŵao.”
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and, “God looked on His people.”
17 Ngani jo jajenele mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea ni mu ilambo ine iyasyungwile.
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about Him, and in all the region around.
18 Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ŵaŵalanjile che Yohana yankati syele ngani syose. Nombewo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
19 Ŵalajichisye kwa Ambuje Che Yesu akausye kuti, “Mmwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?”
and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
20 Ŵandu ŵala paŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya atulajisye kukwenu tummusye kuti, ‘Ana alakwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?’”
And having come near to Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to You, saying, Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
21 Katema kakoko Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalamya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni ilwele ni ŵakulwala ni kugatyosya masoka ni ŵangalola achajinji kwatenda akombole kulola.
And in that hour He cured many from diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind.
22 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaule nkaasalile che Yohana yose inyiweni mwachinsyene ni kupilikana. Ŵangalola atakulola ni ŵangajenda atakwenda ni ŵaali ni matana akuswejeswa ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana ni ŵawile akusyuswa ni ŵakulaga akulalichilwa Ngani Jambone.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone on, report to John what you saw and heard, that blind men see again, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23 Asangalale jwele mundu jwangakuchimwa ni une!”
and blessed is he whoever may not be stumbled in Me.”
24 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵatyosile, Che Yesu ŵatandite kuusalila mpingo wa ŵandu yankati che Yohana achitiji, “Pamwajawile kukunnola che Yohana mwipululu mula mwalolele kuti chinchione chichi? Ana mwaganisye kuti chinkammone mundu jwali mpela litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What have you gone forth into the wilderness to look on? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Nipele mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawasile iwalo yakusalala? Ngwamba! Ŵakuwala iwalo yanti yele ni kutama mu upoche ali mu majumba ga chimwenye!
But what have you gone forth to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they in splendid clothing, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 Musalile, mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, sooni kupunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
But what have you gone forth to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 Ngani sya jweleju ni syasilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nnole, nguntuma jwakutumichila jwangu annongolele juchankolochesye litala lyenu.’”
this is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You;
28 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta ngunsalila, “Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵelekwe ni jwankongwe ngapagwa jwankulu kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatiswa. Nambo jwali jwannandi mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni jwankulu kupunda jwelejo.”
for I say to you, there is not a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Immerser; but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Ŵandu wose pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaŵabatiswe ni che Yohana paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajitichisye kuti Akunnungu ali ŵa usyene.
And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been immersed with the immersion of John,
30 Nambo Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵanganabatiswa ni che Yohana ŵakanile chikotopasyo cha Akunnungu chachikwagamba ŵanyawo.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers put away the counsel of God for themselves, having not been immersed by him.
31 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chinaalandanye ni chichi ŵandu ŵa au uŵelesi wu? Ana akulandana ni chichi?
And the LORD said, “To what, then, will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
32 Akulandana ni ŵanache ŵaŵatemi peuto pakusumichisya malonda ni kuŵilangana mpingo ni mpingo, ‘Twangombele ipeta, nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
They are like to children, to those sitting in a marketplace, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we mourned to you, and you did not weep!
33 Pakuŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaiche, nombe ŵaliji nkutaŵa ni nganang'waga divai ni ŵanyamwe mwatite ‘Ali ni lisoka!’
For John the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon;
34 Nombe Mwana jwa Mundu aiche, akulya ni kung'wa ni ŵanyamwe mwatite, ‘Munnole aju jwakutolwa ju ni jwakolelwa ambusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners;
35 Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lusalichikwe kuti luli lwambone ni wose ŵakwitichisya ŵala.”
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.”
36 Mfalisayo jumpepe ŵanlaliche Che Yesu kukulya chakulya kumangwao. Ŵajinjile nkati mwa jwele Mfalisayo jo, ŵatemi ni kulya.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee He reclined,
37 Pamusi pala paliji ni jwankongwe jumpepe jwali ni sambi. Paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali nkulya mu nyuumba ja Mfalisayo jula ŵajigele kachupa kakakolechekwe ni liganga lyalikuŵilanjikwa alabasta kakagumbele mauta gakununjila.
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that He reclines in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38 Ŵaiche ni kwima pachiŵandi makongolo ga Che Yesu, achililaga, ni misosi jakwe japatuchile pa makongolo ga Che Yesu. Jwele jwankongwe jo ŵagatikite makongolo ga Che Yesu kwa umbo syakwe. Ŵagakomasisye makongolo kwa ngomo syakwe ni ŵagapachile mauta.
and having stood behind, beside His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39 Jwele Mfalisayo juŵanlaliche Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mu ntima mwakwe kuti, “Aju mundu ju akaŵe jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, akaimanyi kuti jwankongwe jwakunkwaya ju ali jwanti uli, kuti ali ni sambi.”
And the Pharisee who called Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “This One, if He were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who touches Him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwele Mfalisayo jo kuti “Che Simoni, ngwete chakunsalila.” Nombe che Simoni ŵajitichisye, “Elo jwakwiganya, mmechete.”
And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you”; and he says, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Che Yesu ŵatandite kuŵecheta, “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵankongwele mbiya mundu jumpepe, jumo ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga chaka chimo ni nusu ni jwine ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga mwesi umo ni nusu.
“Two debtors were to a certain creditor; one was owing five hundred denarii, and the other fifty;
42 Paŵalepele kummuchisya, jwele mundu jo ŵalechelesye wose ŵaŵili. Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵili wo jwapi juchannonyele nnope jwakukongosya jula?”
and they not having [with which] to give back, he forgave both; which of them then, do you say, will love him more?”
43 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Isyene ni ajula juŵannechelesye ligambo lyekulungwa nnope ni juchannonyele nnope Ambuje.” Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Njanjile uchenene.”
And Simon answering said, “I suppose that to whom he forgave the more”; and He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
44 Nipele ŵangalauchile jwankongwe jo ni ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Ana ngati nkummona jwankongwe ju? Panajinjile mu nyuumba jenu nganimumba meesi ga kulikunda pa makongolo gangu nambo jwankongwe ju ŵambatuchisye misosi jakwe pa makongolo gangu ni kundikita ni umbo syakwe.
And having turned to the woman, He said to Simon, “See this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but this woman wet My feet with tears, and wiped with the hairs of her head;
45 Mmwejo nganimungomasya kwa kunonyela pejeje, nambo une chijinjilile mu nyuumba ji jwankongwe ju nganaleka kungomasya kwa kunonyela pa makongolo gangu.
you did not give a kiss to Me, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing My feet;
46 Mmwejo nganimumbakasya mauta muntwe, nambo ajuju ambachile mauta pa makongolo gangu.
you did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman anointed My feet with oil;
47 Ngunsalila kuti unonyelo wekulungwa ŵaulosisye ukumanyisya kuti alecheleswe sambi syakwe syasitupile. Nambo jwakulecheleswa indu yaili kanandi, akunonyela kanandi.”
therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom is forgiven little, loves little.”
48 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sambi syenu silecheleswe.”
And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”;
49 Ŵeŵala ŵaŵalyaga pamo ni Che Yesu ŵausyene achinsyene achitiji, “Ana mundu ju ali ŵaani, jwakukombola atamuno kulechelesya sambi?”
and those dining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who also forgives sins?”
50 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye, njaule kwa chitendewele.”
And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
