Luke 7
1 When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambila bantu maswi awa, walaya ku Kapelenawo.
2 There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
Kwalikuba mutangunishi naumbi walikuba mukulene wa bashilikali bakwana mwanda walikuba ne musha ngwali kusuna. Musha uyo wali kakolwa cakwambeti walikuba pepi ne kufwa
3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
Lino mpwalanyufwa lulumbi lwa Yesu, walatuma bamakulene nabambi ba Bayuda kuya akumusengeti amushilike musebenshi wa mukulene wa bashilikali.
4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
Abo balatumwa balashika kuli Yesu, balamusenga camakasa abili kwambeti, “Kamubonani uyu muntu mwelela kumunyafwa,
5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
pakwinga usuni mushobo wetu kayi walatwibakila ng'anda yakupaililamo.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
Lino Yesu walaya nabo. Mpwalashika pepi ne ng'anda, mukulene wa bashilikali walatuma banendi kuli Yesu kuya kumwambileti, “Mwami, mutalishupa, pakwinga ame nkandelela kwambeti amwe mwingile mung'anda yakame.
7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Weco ndiya kulibikapo kuba walulama kwisa kuli njamwe. Nomba mwambowa maswi musha wakame nabe cena.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Pakwinga nenjame nkute kukonkela milawo yabamakulene pancinto kayi nkute bashilikali mbonkute kutangunina. Na ndamwambili mushilikali eti, koya, neye ukute kuya. Na ndamwambili mushilikali eti, Kwesa, neye ukute kwisa, Na ndamwambili musha wakame eti, insa ici, neye ukute kwinsa.”
9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
Yesu mpwalanyumfweco, walakankamana. Lino walalanga kubantu bangi abo balikumukonkela ne kwambeti, “Cakubinga ndiya kubonapo lushomo lwamushoboyu pakati paba Isilaeli sobwe!”
10 And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
Balatumwa basa balabwelela kung'anda, nekuya akucana musha uyo laba cena.
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
Kufumapo Yesu walaya mumunshi umbi ukute kukwiweti Naini. Beshikwiya bakendi nelikoto lya bantu balaya nendi.
12 As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
Yesu mpwalashika pepi ne munshi, walakumanya bantu kabali banyamuna citumbi, ca mutuloba wafwa walikuba emwana enka kuli banyina bamuka lubingi. Bantu bangi ba mumunshi balikuba pamo ne mukalubingi.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
Yesu mpwalabona mukalubingi uyo walamunyumfwila inkumbo ne kumwambileti, “Kocileka kulila.”
14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
Yesu walashika kuntangu ne kwikata citumbi ico, Lino balikuba bamanta citumbi ico balemana. Kayi kufumapo walambeti, “Obe mwana mutuloba ndakwambilingeti, punduka!”
15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Mwana mutuloboyo walikuba wafwa walapunduka nekwikala, walatatika kwamba. Lino Yesu walamubwesha kuli banyina.
16 A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
Nomba bantu bonse balatina, popelapo balalumbaisha Lesa kabambeti, “Mushinshimi mukulene labonekele pakati petu, kayi Lesa wesa akupulusha bantu bakendi.”
17 And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
Kufumapo lulumbi lwa Yesu yalamwaika mucishi conse ca Yudeya kayi ne bishi byonse byalikuba byashunguluka.
18 Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
Beshikwiya ba Yohane balamwambila byonse. Lino Yohane walakuwa babili pa beshikwiya bakendi,
19 So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
ne kubatuma kuli Mwami Yesu kuya kwipusheti, “Sena njamwe ngwalamba Yohane eti lesanga nambi tulangilile naumbi?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
Balatumwa abo mpobalashika kuli Yesu, balamwambileti, “Yohane mubatishi latutumu kwambeti twipushe na njamwe uyo lesanga nambi tulangililenga naumbi?”
21 At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
Pacindico Yesu walikashilika malwashi abantu bangi apusana pusana, bamapensho ne kufunya mishimu yaipa kayi walasengula bampofu bangi.
22 So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
Lino Yesu walakumbula beshikwiya ba Yohane eti, “Kamuyani mumwambile Yohane byonse mbyomulabono ne kunyufwa, bampofu balabononga, balema myendo balendenga, beshimankuntu balabanga cena, bashinka matwi balanyufunga, bafu balapundukunga kayi bapenga balanyumfunga Mulumbe Waina.
23 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Walelekwa muntu uyo labulunga kutonshanya pali njame.”
24 After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
Lino beshikwiya bakendi Yohane mpobalaya, Yesu walatatika kwambila bantu bangi balikubapo sha makani a Yohane mubatishi eti, “Mpomwalaya akubona Yohane mucinyika mwalikuyeyeti ulyeti cani? Sena mwalikuyeyeti Yohane uliya ngofu eti litete likute kutenkanowa ne mpepo?
25 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
Nomba mwalikuyeyeti Yohane ulyeti cani? Sena nimuntu walikuba wafwala byakufwala byaina? Sobwe bantu beshi kufwala byaina, bakute kusuna malyalya nekwikala mumanda abami.
26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Kamung'ambila, nicani ncomwalaya akubona? Sena mwalikuyeyeti Yohane nimushinshimi? Ee, ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti mwalabona wapita mushinshimi.
27 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
Pakwinga Yohane ewuyo walambwa mumabala a Lesa, Lesa walambeti, “Ninkatume mutumwa wakame kuntangu kwakobe kwambeti akakubambile nshila.”
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
“Ndamwambilinga kufuma keendi kuliyawa kubapo muntu wapita Yohane, nsombi usa mung'ana mu Bwami bwa Lesa emukulene kupita endiye.”
29 All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
Bantu bonse ne beshikusonkesha misonko balanyumfwa kukambauka kwa Yohane, mpobalabatishiwa balasumina kwambeti Lesa walulama.
30 But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
Nsombi Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha Milawo pakukana kubatishiwa ne Yohane, balakana ncalikuyanda kubenshila Lesa.
31 “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
Yesu walapitilisha kwambeti, “Anu bantu ba cino cindi ngandi bakoshanisha ne cani? Anu balyeti cani?”
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
Balyeti batwanike bekala pabusena bwakulishilapo kabolobeshanyeti, “Twalamulilishila ngoma, amwe muliya kushana! ‘Twalamwimbila inyimbo sha malila amwe muliya kulila!’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
“Pakwinga Yohane mubatishi walesa nkalikanisha kulya kayi nkali kunwapo waini, nomba amwe mwalambeti, ‘Ukute mushimu waipa.’
34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Lino Mwana Muntu mpwalesa walatatika kulya ne kunwa, amwe mwalambeti, kamubonani ni weshikulyowa nekukolwa, kayi banendi ni beshimisonko kayi ne babwipishi.
35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Nsombi mano a Lesa akute kubonekela kuba ancine ncine kuli bonse bakute kwatambula.”
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
Mufalisi naumbi walakuwa Yesu eti ayenga akulya nendiye. Lino Yesu walaya akwingila mung'anda nekwikala pakulyela.
37 When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
Mu munshi uwu mwalikuba mutukashi wabwikalo bwaipa. Mpwalanyumfweti Yesu lalinga mung'anda ya Mufalisi uyo, walamanta kankuli kesula mafuta anunkila cena.
38 As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
Walashika nekusuntama kunyuma kwa Yesu, pepi ne myendo kalila. Walatontosha myendo bya Yesu ne misoshi yakendi ne kutatika kwipukuta ne mishishi yakendi, nekumyanguta bimpanta bya Yessu ne kutatika kumunanika mafuta ayo.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
Lino Mufalisi usa walakuwa Yesu mpwalaboneco, walatatika kuyeyeti, “Muntu uyu nabanga mushinshimi wancincine nalenshibi mbuli ncabele mutukashi uyu lamwikatanga pakwinga nkamwisheti nimwipishi.”
40 But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Shimoni nkute byakukwambila.” Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Beshikwiyisha kamwambani”
41 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Yesu walambeti, “Palikuba bantu babili balabweleka mali ku muntu. Umo walabweleka myanda isanu ya mali, naumbi mali makumi asanu.
42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
Mpocalashika cindi ca kubwesha, bonse babili balalilwa kubwesha nkongole, lino walabalekelela. Nomba pabantu babili basa, nupeyo shikubwelekesha mali ngweshakasune cikamba?”
43 “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Ame ndayeyengeti uyo walabweleka mali angi,” Yesu walamwambileti, “Ulakumbulu cena.”
44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
Lino walalanga kumuntukashi usa ne kumwambila Shimoni eti, “Sena ulabono mutukashi uyu? Mpondashiki mung'anda yakobe uliyawa kumpapo menshi akusamba kumyendo. Nsombi nendi lasambishi myendo yakame nemishoshi yakendi nekwipukuta ne mishishi yakendi.
45 You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
Obe uliyawa kumyanguta pakumpa mutende, nsombi nendi kufuma mpondeshili mung'anda liya kucilekapo kumyanguta myendo yakame.
46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
Bona mondeshili uliyawa kunanikapo mafuta mumutwi, nsombi uyu lananiki mafuta anunkila cena kubimpanta.
47 Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
Ndakwambilinga cancine ncine, kuyandishisha kunene nkwalandeshe, cilaleshengeti bwipishi bwakendi bwingi bulalekelelwa. Nomba muntu lalekelelwa bwipishi bung'ana ukute kusuna pang'ana.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Kufumapo Yesu walamwambila mutukashi uyo eti, “Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”
49 But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Lino abo bali kabalya pamo ne Yesu balatatika kwipushanyeti, “Anu niyani muntu uyu weshi kulekelela ne bwipishi?”
50 And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Lino Yesu walambila mutukashi uyo eti, “Lushomo lwakobe lulakupulushu, koya mulumuno.”
