Luke 7
1 After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
Kuzwa Jesu hamana zonse zabali kuwamba bantu nibazuwile, nakenjila mwaKapenauma.
2 And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.
Linu muyenzi wachisole abena muhikana yabali kusunwa hahulu kwali, mi abali kulwala ni kusaka kufwa.
3 And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.
Muyenzi wachisole nanga zuwa za Jesu, natumina kwali bakulwana ba Majuda, kumukumbila kuti eze njamuhozeze muhikana wakwe.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,
Habati chibasika kwa Jesu, ni bamukumbila chakukakanina, ni bati, “Uyelele kuti umutendele bulyo,
5 It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.
mukuti usaka chisi chetu, imi njabatuzakili masinagoge etu.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:
Chobulyo Jesu nazwila habusu munzila yakwe nabo. Hati chotumbatumba henzuvo, muyezi wachisole abatumini balikani bakwe kukamuwambila kuti, Simwine, usiye ulikatazi, kakuli kaniyelele kuti iwe winjile munzuvo yangu.
7 And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.
Chelyo ibaka kanilihindi kuti niyelele kwiza kwako, kono uwambe bulyo inzwi mi muhikanangu kahole.
8 For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
Mukuti ime name ni muntu wina mwikonde lamulao, ni masole ni bena mwikonde lyangu. Niwambila umwina, 'Yende', mi uyenda, imi kuumwi, 'Wiize', mi wiiza, imi kumuhikanangu, 'Tende ichi', mi uchitenda.”
9 And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
Imi Jesu hazuwa bulyo, namukomukwa, mi nasandukila kuchisi chibamuichilile nati, “Nimicho kuti, mane nangati mwaIsilaele kananibeni kuwanika itumelo ina bulyo.”
10 And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.
Imi linu bana babatumitwe habakabola kunzuvo, nibeza kuwana kuti muhikana chaba nenza.
11 And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.
Izo hazimana kutendahala, Jesu abayendi kwitolopo isupwa Naine, mi barutwana bakwe ni chisi ni bayenda naye.
12 Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.
Habali kutumbatumba hamenjililo etolopo, mi hamulole, muntu yofwile abahinditwe, mwana wamuswisu umwina bulyo wanyina (yabafwamini), mi chisi chingi chizwa mwitolopo chibena naye.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.
Imi Simwine hamubona, abamufwili maswe inse, imi abawambi kwali nati, “Sanzi ulili.”
14 And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.
Kuzwaho nichaya kwateni ni kukakwata kuzisamu hababahindile chitumbi, imi babachihindite nibazimana. Nichati, “Murombwana, nikucho kuti, buke.”
15 And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.
Yofwile nekala ni kutanga kuwamba, mi Jesu namutambika kubanyina.
16 And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people.
Linu insabo ni chiyabawila bonse, imi chibazwira habusu kubabaza Ireeza, nibati, “Mupolofita yomaniniza ababuswa mukati ketu,” mi “Ireeza abaloli hewulu labantu bakwe.”
17 And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about.
Iyi indaba ya Jesu ibahasani mwaJudea yonse ni zikiliti zonse zibambene nanyo.
18 And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.
Barutwana ba Johani babamuwambili izi zintu zonse.
19 Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
Kuzwaho Johani nasupa bobele babarutwna bakwe ni kubatumina kwaSimwine nibakati, “Kana nguwe yoswanela kwiza, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”
20 And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
Heti chibasika hafwihi ni Jesu, bakwame nibati, “Johani Mukolobezi wakatutuma kwako zetu kuti, 'kana nguwe yokezite, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”'
21 At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.
Mweyo inako Jesu abahozi bantu bangi mumalwalila abo ni mumasukuluko abo ni mwihuho imbilala, imi ni kubahofu bangi ababahi kubona.
22 And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
Jesu nabetaba nabacho, “Heti chimwamana kuyenda musipili wenu, mukabihe kwa Johani chimubaboni ni kuzuwa. Bantu babahofu babahewa kubona, ziyanga zibatangi kuyenda, bachisenda babanjolozwa, basusu chibasuwa, bantu bafwile bababuswa ni kuhala, mi bahumanehi bawambilwa indava indotu.
23 And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
Muntu yasasiyi kuzumina kwangu chebaka lazitendantu zangu utohonolofezwe.”
24 And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
Kumasule abatumwa ba Johani heti chibayenda, Jesu natanga kuwambila zisi kaza Johani. “Chinzi chobayendi kukabona mwihalaupa? Luhe lunyanganyiswa luhuho.
25 But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mukwame yozabele zizabalo zinolonolo? Lole, bazabala zizabalo zimaniniza ni bahala mumbombolelwa bena muzibaka zibasimwine.
26 But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mupolofita na? Eee, niwamba kwenu, ni kuhitilila mupolofita.
27 This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
Uzu njiyena uzo zakwe ziñoletwe, 'Hamulole, nitumina mutuminwa wangu mubusu bwako, Yeti nalukise inzila yako noseni kusika.'
28 I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Niwamba kwenu, mukati kababahwizumukwa kumwanakazi kakwina mukando kuhita Johani. Nihakubabulyo umwina yomaniniza kubunini mupuso ya Ireeza mukando kumuhita.”
29 (And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.
Bantu bonse habazuwa ichi, kuhindilila batelisa, bababonisi kushiyama kwa Ireeza, chakukolobezwa chekolobezo ya Johani.
30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)
Linu Bafalisi ni baluti babamaninizi bamulao wa chiJuda babakani zamulero weze Ireeza kuamana navo, mukuti kana babakolobezwa kwa Johani.
31 What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?
“Kuchinzi, linu, kuniwola kubambanya bantu bounu murahi? Bakola sina chizi?
32 They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.
Bakola sina bahwile bakwete bazanina henkanza, bekala ni kulinsupa ni bati, “Tubamilizizi impeta, kono kanamubazani. Tubamizimbili izimbo zenjinjo, mi kana mubasilisi.'
33 For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.
Mukuti Johani Mukolobezi abezi nasaali inkonko ni kusanywa iwaine, muwamba kuti, 'Wina idimona.'
34 The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.
Mwana Muntu abezi nalya ni kunywa, imi muti, “Mulole, nji shazilyo ni chidakwa, mulikani wabatelisa ni batendi bazive!'
35 But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.
Kono butali buzumininwe ni bana bakwe bonse.”
36 And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.
Lyahanu umwina wa Bafalisi na mema Jesu kukalya naye. Linu Jesu hamana kwinjila munzuvo ya Mufalisi, nekala hetafule kulya.
37 And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,
Mi hamulole, kubena mwanakazi mumuleneñi, yabali mutendi wachive. Hazuwa kuti Jesu wina munzuvo ya Mufalisi hetafule, abaleti ijaki ye alabbasitera mwina ioili inunka nenza.
38 And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.
Nazimene kumasule akwe hembali ni matende akwe, nalila, natanga kubombisa matende akwe ni zisonzi zakwe, imi nazisinda ni insuki zamutwi wakwe mi nachuchuna matende akwe ni kwasinga ni oili inuka nenza.
39 Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.
Mufalisi yabamemete Jesu habona bulyo, nahupula munkulo yakwe, nati, kambe uzu mukwame mupolofita, hanu neziba kuti njeni ni kuti mwanakazi wamufuta nzi yomukwete, mukuti mutendi wachive.”
40 And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.
Jesu namwitaba nati, “Simoni, nina chinisaka kuwamba kwako.” Nati, “Chiwambe, Muruti!”
41 And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.
Jesu nati, “Mukolotisi zumwi wamasheleñi abena bakoloti bobele. Umwina nakolota ipondo zichita myanda imana iyanza, imi zumwi niyaba makumi amana iyanza.
42 When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?
Imi habakangwa kumuliha, nabaswalela bonse. Cheyo inzila, njeni kubali yeti amusake chakumaniniza?”
43 Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.
Simoni abamwitabi nati, “Nihupula kuti njozuna yabaswalelwa kukando.” Jesu namuti, “Waatula nenza.”
44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.
Jesu abasandukili kumwanakazi ni kuwambila Simoni, “Ubwene uzu mwanakazi. Nibenjili munzuvo yako. Kana ubanihi menzi amatende angu, kono iye wabombisa matende angu ni zinsonzi zakwe ni kuzisinda ni insuki zakwe.
45 You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
Iwe kana ubanichuchuni, kono iye kuzwa henako yinitanga kwiiza kasiite kuchuchuna matende angu.
46 You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
Kana ubetili ioili hamutwi wangu, kono iye abetili matende angu ni ioili inunka bulotu.
47 And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.
Chobulyo niti kwako, zive zakwe, zibali zingi, chizaswalelwa ¬ mukuti watondeza kusuna kukando. Kono iye yoswalelwa halikene, usuna halikene.
48 And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
Linu abati kwali, “Zive zako zaswalelwa.”
49 And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
Babekele hamwina nibatanga kuambola mukati kabo, “Njeni uzu yoti uwola nanga kuswalela zive?”
50 And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
Kuzwaho Jesu nichati kumwanakazi. “Itumelo yako yakuhaza. Yende chekozo.”
