< Luke 7 >
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Bhakabheleketeje gubhapinjile bhandu bhapilikananje gala, a Yeshu gubhapite kushilambo sha ku Kapalanaumu.
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Kweneko bhashinkupagwa bhakulungwa bhamo bha manjola ga Bhaloma, bhenebho bhashinkukola ntumwa jwabho jubhampinjile kaje. Jwene ntumwajo atendaga lwala tome kuwa.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
Bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhakapilikaneje nnganya ja a Yeshu, gubhaatumilenje bhanangulungwa bha Bhayaudi bhajendangane bhakaajuganje a Yeshu bhakannamye ntumwa jwabho.
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Bhakaikanganeje kwa a Yeshu gubhaashondelesheyenje kaje, bhalinkutinji, “Bhenebha inapwaa kwaatendela nneyo,
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
pabha bhanakwapinganga bhandu bhetu, na bhashikutushenjela shinagogi jila.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhalongene nabhonji, bhandunji bhala. Bhali tome na ika ku likaja lya bhakulungwa bha manjola ga Bhaloma bhala, bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala gubhaatumilenje asha ambwiga ajabhonji kubhaalugulilanje a Yeshu kuti, “Mmakulungwa nnapunde kwiiabhuya, pabha nne nangali malango ga kumposhela mmwe nnyumba jangu.
7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Na shiumilo niibhone nangali shanga sha kwiya kunngwenu mmwe. Ikabheje mmelekete lilobhepe na ntumwa jwangu shaalame.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Pabha nkali nne puni pai ja ukulungwa, pai jangu bhapalinji ashimanjola. Na nimmalanjiga linjola jumo, ‘Jenda’ alikwenda, nimmalanjilaga juna, ‘Jiya’ anakwiya, na nimmalanjilaga ntumwa jwangu, ‘Tenda ashi,’ najwalakwe alitenda.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje genego bhashinkuimonga kaje, gubhatendebhwishe nikululola lugwinjili lwa bhandu bhaakagulangaga bhala, gubhashite, “Nganabhe kummona mundu akwete ngulupai jikulungwa nnei nkali kubhandu bha Ishilaeli.”
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
Bhandunji bhala bhakaikanganeje kumui, gubhanng'imenenje ntumwa jula alamile.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
Lyubha lyolyo a Yeshu gubhapite kushilambo shimo shashemwaga ku Naini, bhali bhalongene na bhaajiganywa bhabho na likundi likulungwa lya bhandu.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
Bhai, bhali tome na nnango gwa lugwani gwa jinjilila nshilambo mula, gubhakoposhelenje bhandunji bhajigelenje maiti gaka nngwendo jumo mwana jwa jikape jwa bhakongwe bha shitenga. Bhandunji bhabhagwinji bha shene shilambo shila pubhalinginji pamo na bhakongwe bha shitenga bhala.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not cry.”
Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhoneje bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhonele shiya, gubhaalugulile, “Nnagute.”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
Kungai gubhapite kushikwaya shinanda shibhajigalilenje maiti shila, na bhajigelenje bhala gubhajimingene. Nigubhashite, “Nngwendo! Ngunakuubhalanjila, jinuka!”
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
Nngwendo awile jula, gwajinwishe gwatemi, gwatandwibhe kubheleketa. A Yeshu gubhankamwiye kwa akwabhe.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
Bhandu bhowe gubhajogopenje, gubhaainiyenje a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Ankulondola bhakulungwa bha a Nnungu bhakoposhele munkumbi gwetu. A Nnungu bhashikwiya kukwaajangutilanga bhandu bhabho.”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
Jene nganijo jikushumaga ku Yudea kowe na ilambo ya tome.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana gubhaalugulilenje a Yowana yowe yatendekaga ila. Nabhalabho a Yowana gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
gubhaatumilenje ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhuyanje. “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakaaimananjeje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, Tushitumwa na a Yowana Bhaabhatisha tummuye kuti, “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Popo pepo a Yeshu bhatendaga kwaalamyanga bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalagangaga na ilwele na bhashikilwanga maoka na kwaapanganga kulola ashinangalole bhabhagwinji.
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje. “Nnjendangane nkaabhalanjilanje a Yowana yowe impilikenenje na kwiilolela mmashayenenji, ashinangalole bhanalolanga, ashinangwabha bhanakwendangana, bhamangundula bhanalama, ashinangapilikane bhanapilikana, bhawilenje bhanayuywanga, na bhaalaga bhanalungushiywanga Ngani ja Mmbone.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Mbaya jwene mundu ikakunshima kwa ligongo lyangu nne.”
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana bhakajabhulanganeje penepo, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaalugulilanga bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala nnganya ja a Yowana. “Pumwapitengenenje mukonde kukushibhona nndi? Mwaganishiyanga kukulibhona litete litikinywa na mbungo?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
Ikabhe nneyo, kumwapitengenenje kulola nndi? Kumwapitengenenje kukunnola mundu awalile nngubho ya bhei jikulungwa? Bhaawalanga nngubho ya bhei jikulungwa nitama ndamo ya poka mwaakutamangana mmajumba ga shipalume!
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Bhai, mmalanjilanje, mwapitengenenje kulola nndi? Mwapitengenenje kunnola nkulondola? Elo, numbe ngunakummalanjilanga, kupunda nkulondola.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Bhenebha ni a Yowana bhalugwilwe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo. ‘Ngunakuntuma muntenga jwangu, Anng'alashiye mpanda gwenu.’”
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
“Ngunakummalanjilanga, munkumbi gwa bhabhelekwenje jwakwapi ali jwankulungwa kwaapunda a Yowana Bhabhatisha. Ikabheje, jwene ali jwa nshoko kaje mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu, ni ali jwa nkulungwa kupunda bhenebho.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
Bhandu bhowe bhapilikenenje genego na nkali bhaakamula koli nigubhakundilenje kuti a Nnungu ni bha aki na bhanguja pabha bhashinkubhatishwanga na a Yowana.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Ikabheje mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia, bhashinkukananga yatumbililwe na a Nnungu, kwa nneyo nigibhakanilenje kubhatishwa na a Yowana.
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
A Yeshu nigubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai bhandu bha lwene lubhelekolu naalandanyanje na nndi? Paakulandananga na shindu shashi?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.’
Bhashilandananga na bhana bhatemingene pa lubhala lwa ushiya indu, bhalishemananga ashayenenji. Twashinkunngombelenga imbeta, ikabheje mwangainanga! Twashinkunnjimbilanga nyimbo ya ililo ikabheje mmanganya mwangagutanga!
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Pabha a Yowana bhashinkwiya, bhatendaga tabha na bhakang'waga divai, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Bhakwete lioka!’
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Najwalakwe Mwana juka Mundu ashiika, analya na kung'wa, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Munnolanje, jwa doka na kolelwaju, mmbwiga nnjabhonji bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi!’
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Nkali nneyo, lunda lwa a Nnungu lumanyishe kuti lwa mmbone na lwa aki kubhandu bhowe bhakundilenje.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
Bhapalishayo bhamo bhashinkwaashemela shalya a Yeshu kunngwabho. Nigubhajinjile nnyumba ja a bhapalishayo bhala gubhatemi kulya shalya.
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Bhai, pene pa shilambo pala, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhakwete yambi. Bhakapilikaneje kuti a Yeshu mubhali nnyumba ja a Palishayo bhala, gubhatolile shupa sha mauta ga nunjila shieleywe kwa liganga lya alabhashita.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Nigubhajimi tome na makongono ga a Yeshu bhaliguta, na minyoi jabho jilikwaandolishila a Yeshu mmakongono. Bhakongwe bhala gubhaponwele makongono ga a Yeshu kwa umbo yabho. Kungai gubhagalambile makongono gala na gubhaapekeye mauta ga nunjila gala.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
Bhapalishayo bhaashemile a Yeshu bhala, bhakagabhoneje genego, gubhaganishiye muntima gwabho, “Abha bhandubha kweli bhaakaliji ankulondola bha a Nnungu, ikaaliji bhamumanyi shibhali abha bhakongwe bhakwaakwayabha kuti bhakwete yambi.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhapalishayo bhala, “a Shimoni, shipali shindu shingupinga kummalanjila.” Nabhalabho a Shimoni bhakwaalugulilaga, “Elo, mmelekete Mmajiganya.”
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
A Yeshu gubhashite, “Bhandu bhabhili bhashinkupolekanga ela kubhandu bhamo, bhamo libhalongwaga ligambo lya nshaala gwa shaka shimo na nushu, bhana ligambo lya nshaala gwa mwei gumo na nushu.
42 When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
Bhakalepelanjeje kulipa magambo gabhonji, bhandu bhala gubhaaleshelelenje bhanaabhili. Lelo penepo munkumbi gwa bhene bhabhilibho, bhei shibhapunde kwaapinga bhaaleshelela magambo bhala?”
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
A Shimoni gubhajangwile, “Penepo imanyishe kuti, bhaleshelelwe ligambo likulungwa shibhapunde kwaapinjiya.” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Elo penepo nnjangwile ukoto.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
Penepo gubhaatendebhushile bhakongwe bhala, nikwaalugulila a Shimoni, “Nnikwaabhona abha bhakongwebha? Nne punyinjile munngwenu muno mwangamba mashi ga nabha mmakongono gangu, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha bhashinyobhya makongono gangu na minyoi jabho nimbonola na umbo yabho.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Mmwe mwanganyambata, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha shijinjilile nne apano bhatendaga nyambata makongono gangu.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Mmwe mwangambakaya mauta muntwe, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha bhashimbakaya mauta mmakongono gangu.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjila kupinjiya kwabho kwapunda kunalanguya kuleshelelwa kwa ilebho yabho yaigwinji. Aleshelelwe ilebho ishoko, kupinga kwakwe kushokope.”
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwebhala, “Nneshelelwele yambi yenu.”
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Penepo bhatemingenenabho pashalya bhala gwaabhuyenenje, “Bhenebha bhandu bhashi, bhaakombola nkali kuleshelela yambi?”
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwe bhala, “Ngulupai jenu jintapwile, nnjende kwa ulele.”
