< Luke 7 >

1 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyi kwa ŵandu ŵajawile ku Kapelenaumu.
2 And a certain centurion's bondman faring badly was going to perish, who was esteemed by him.
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.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him who asked him that, having come, he would save his bondman.
Chilongola jula paŵasipilikene ngani si Che Yesu, ŵaatumile achachekulu ŵane ŵa Ŵayahudi ajaule akaachondelele kuti aiche kukunlamya kapolo jwao.
4 And when they came to Jesus they urged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy for whom thou may offer this,
Paŵaiche ku Che Yesu, ŵanchondelele nnope achitiji, “Mundu ju akuŵajilwa kukamuchiswa,
5 for he loves our nation, and he himself built the synagogue for us.
pakuŵa akwanonyela ŵandu ŵetu, sooni ni jwatutaŵile nyuumba ja kupopelela.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof.
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.
7 Therefore neither did I consider myself worthy to come to thee, but speak by word, and my boy will be healed.
Ali ni ligongo naliweni nganguŵajilwa kwika kukwenu nansyene. Nambo mmechete liloŵe pe ni jwakutumichila jwangu chalame.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does.
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.”
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled him, and having turned around to the multitude who followed him, he said, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.
Che Yesu paŵapikene yeleyo, ŵansimosile, nombejo ŵagalauchile ŵandu ŵajinji ŵala ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya ni ŵaasalile, “Nganinachiwone chikulupi chachikulungwa mpela achi namuno mu ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli!”
10 And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the bondman who was feeble, being well.
Ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ŵala paŵaiche kumusi kwa chilongola jula ŵansimene kapolo jwao jula ali alamile.
11 And it came to pass on the next day that he went to a city called Nain, and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, also a large multitude.
Kundaŵi jakwe, Che Yesu ŵajawile mu musi umo waukuŵilanjikwa Naini, mpingo wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalongene nawo.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, an only begotten son who died was being carried out for his mother. And she was a widow, and a considerable crowd of the city was with her.
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.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt compassion toward her, and said to her, Weep not.
Ambuje Che Yesu paŵammweni jwankongwe jo ŵankolele chanasa, ni ŵansalile, “Nkalila.”
14 And having come, he touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise.
Nipele ŵajawile ni kuchikwaya chitagala chila ni ŵaŵajigele ŵala ŵajimi. Nipele ŵatite, “Mmwe nchanda! Ngunsalila, njimuche!”
15 And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Jwamwe jula ŵajimwiche ni kutama ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ni Che Yesu ŵauchisye achikulugwe.
16 And fear seized all. And they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised among us, and, God came to help his people.
Ŵandu wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba ni ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Jwakulondola jwankulu jwa Akunnungu akopochele kukwetu. Akunnungu aiiche kukwakamusya ŵandu ŵao.”
17 And this report about him went forth in the whole of Judea, and in all the region around.
Ngani jo jajenele mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea ni mu ilambo ine iyasyungwile.
18 And the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ŵaŵalanjile che Yohana yankati syele ngani syose. Nombewo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
19 And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
Ŵalajichisye kwa Ambuje Che Yesu akausye kuti, “Mmwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?”
20 And when they came to him, they said, John the immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
Ŵandu ŵala paŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya atulajisye kukwenu tummusye kuti, ‘Ana alakwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?’”
21 And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men.
Katema kakoko Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalamya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni ilwele ni ŵakulwala ni kugatyosya masoka ni ŵangalola achajinji kwatenda akombole kulola.
22 And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor are preached good news.
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.
23 And blessed is he, whoever will not be offended by me.
Asangalale jwele mundu jwangakuchimwa ni une!”
24 And after John's messengers departed, he began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
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?
25 But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those in elegant clothing, and existing in luxury, are in kingly places.
Nipele mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawasile iwalo yakusalala? Ngwamba! Ŵakuwala iwalo yanti yele ni kutama mu upoche ali mu majumba ga chimwenye!
26 But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
Musalile, mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, sooni kupunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
27 This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
Ngani sya jweleju ni syasilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nnole, nguntuma jwakutumichila jwangu annongolele juchankolochesye litala lyenu.’”
28 For I say to you, among men born of women there is not one prophet greater than John the immerser, yet the smaller in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
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.”
29 And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.
Ŵandu wose pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaŵabatiswe ni che Yohana paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajitichisye kuti Akunnungu ali ŵa usyene.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God for themselves.
Nambo Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵanganabatiswa ni che Yohana ŵakanile chikotopasyo cha Akunnungu chachikwagamba ŵanyawo.
31 To what, then will I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chinaalandanye ni chichi ŵandu ŵa au uŵelesi wu? Ana akulandana ni chichi?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling to each other, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance. We mourned to you, and ye did not weep.
Akulandana ni ŵanache ŵaŵatemi peuto pakusumichisya malonda ni kuŵilangana mpingo ni mpingo, ‘Twangombele ipeta, nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
33 For John the immerser has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
Pakuŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaiche, nombe ŵaliji nkutaŵa ni nganang'waga divai ni ŵanyamwe mwatite ‘Ali ni lisoka!’
34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
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!’
35 And wisdom is justified from all her children.
Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lusalichikwe kuti luli lwambone ni wose ŵakwitichisya ŵala.”
36 And a certain man of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And having entered into the Pharisee's house, he sat down.
Mfalisayo jumpepe ŵanlaliche Che Yesu kukulya chakulya kumangwao. Ŵajinjile nkati mwa jwele Mfalisayo jo, ŵatemi ni kulya.
37 And behold, a woman in the city who was sinful. And when she knew that he sat in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
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.
38 and having stood behind near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. And she kissed his feet much, and anointed them with the ointment.
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.
39 But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful.
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.”
40 And having responded, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, speak Teacher.
Che Yesu ŵansalile jwele Mfalisayo jo kuti “Che Simoni, ngwete chakunsalila.” Nombe che Simoni ŵajitichisye, “Elo jwakwiganya, mmechete.”
41 There were two debtors to a certain creditor, the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
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.
42 And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more?
Paŵalepele kummuchisya, jwele mundu jo ŵalechelesye wose ŵaŵili. Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵili wo jwapi juchannonyele nnope jwakukongosya jula?”
43 And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly.
Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Isyene ni ajula juŵannechelesye ligambo lyekulungwa nnope ni juchannonyele nnope Ambuje.” Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Njanjile uchenene.”
44 And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
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.
45 Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much.
Mmwejo nganimungomasya kwa kunonyela pejeje, nambo une chijinjilile mu nyuumba ji jwankongwe ju nganaleka kungomasya kwa kunonyela pa makongolo gangu.
46 Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
Mmwejo nganimumbakasya mauta muntwe, nambo ajuju ambachile mauta pa makongolo gangu.
47 For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
Ngunsalila kuti unonyelo wekulungwa ŵaulosisye ukumanyisya kuti alecheleswe sambi syakwe syasitupile. Nambo jwakulecheleswa indu yaili kanandi, akunonyela kanandi.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sambi syenu silecheleswe.”
49 And those who sat together began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
Ŵeŵala ŵaŵalyaga pamo ni Che Yesu ŵausyene achinsyene achitiji, “Ana mundu ju ali ŵaani, jwakukombola atamuno kulechelesya sambi?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.
Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye, njaule kwa chitendewele.”
