Luke 7
1 After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
Bhakabheleketeje gubhapinjile bhandu bhapilikananje gala, a Yeshu gubhapite kushilambo sha ku Kapalanaumu.
2 And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.
Kweneko bhashinkupagwa bhakulungwa bhamo bha manjola ga Bhaloma, bhenebho bhashinkukola ntumwa jwabho jubhampinjile kaje. Jwene ntumwajo atendaga lwala tome kuwa.
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.
Bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhakapilikaneje nnganya ja a Yeshu, gubhaatumilenje bhanangulungwa bha Bhayaudi bhajendangane bhakaajuganje a Yeshu bhakannamye ntumwa jwabho.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,
Bhakaikanganeje kwa a Yeshu gubhaashondelesheyenje kaje, bhalinkutinji, “Bhenebha inapwaa kwaatendela nneyo,
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.
pabha bhanakwapinganga bhandu bhetu, na bhashikutushenjela shinagogi jila.”
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:
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 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.
Na shiumilo niibhone nangali shanga sha kwiya kunngwenu mmwe. Ikabheje mmelekete lilobhepe na ntumwa jwangu shaalame.
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.
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 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.
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 And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.
Bhandunji bhala bhakaikanganeje kumui, gubhanng'imenenje ntumwa jula alamile.
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.
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 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.
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 And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.
Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhoneje bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhonele shiya, gubhaalugulile, “Nnagute.”
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.
Kungai gubhapite kushikwaya shinanda shibhajigalilenje maiti shila, na bhajigelenje bhala gubhajimingene. Nigubhashite, “Nngwendo! Ngunakuubhalanjila, jinuka!”
15 And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.
Nngwendo awile jula, gwajinwishe gwatemi, gwatandwibhe kubheleketa. A Yeshu gubhankamwiye kwa akwabhe.
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.
Bhandu bhowe gubhajogopenje, gubhaainiyenje a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Ankulondola bhakulungwa bha a Nnungu bhakoposhele munkumbi gwetu. A Nnungu bhashikwiya kukwaajangutilanga bhandu bhabho.”
17 And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about.
Jene nganijo jikushumaga ku Yudea kowe na ilambo ya tome.
18 And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.
Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana gubhaalugulilenje a Yowana yowe yatendekaga ila. Nabhalabho a Yowana gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
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?
gubhaatumilenje ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhuyanje. “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”
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?
Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakaaimananjeje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, Tushitumwa na a Yowana Bhaabhatisha tummuye kuti, “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”
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.
Popo pepo a Yeshu bhatendaga kwaalamyanga bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalagangaga na ilwele na bhashikilwanga maoka na kwaapanganga kulola ashinangalole bhabhagwinji.
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.
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 And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
Mbaya jwene mundu ikakunshima kwa ligongo lyangu nne.”
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?
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 in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
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 say to you, and more than a prophet.
Bhai, mmalanjilanje, mwapitengenenje kulola nndi? Mwapitengenenje kunnola nkulondola? Elo, numbe ngunakummalanjilanga, kupunda nkulondola.
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.
Bhenebha ni a Yowana bhalugwilwe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo. ‘Ngunakuntuma muntenga jwangu, Anng'alashiye mpanda gwenu.’”
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.
“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 (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.
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 teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)
Ikabheje mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia, bhashinkukananga yatumbililwe na a Nnungu, kwa nneyo nigibhakanilenje kubhatishwa na a Yowana.
31 What comparison am I to make of the men 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 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.
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 Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.
Pabha a Yowana bhashinkwiya, bhatendaga tabha na bhakang'waga divai, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Bhakwete lioka!’
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.
Najwalakwe Mwana juka Mundu ashiika, analya na kung'wa, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Munnolanje, jwa doka na kolelwaju, mmbwiga nnjabhonji bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi!’
35 But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.
Nkali nneyo, lunda lwa a Nnungu lumanyishe kuti lwa mmbone na lwa aki kubhandu bhowe bhakundilenje.”
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.
Bhapalishayo bhamo bhashinkwaashemela shalya a Yeshu kunngwabho. Nigubhajinjile nnyumba ja a bhapalishayo bhala gubhatemi kulya shalya.
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhapalishayo bhala, “a Shimoni, shipali shindu shingupinga kummalanjila.” Nabhalabho a Shimoni bhakwaalugulilaga, “Elo, mmelekete Mmajiganya.”
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.
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 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?
Bhakalepelanjeje kulipa magambo gabhonji, bhandu bhala gubhaaleshelelenje bhanaabhili. Lelo penepo munkumbi gwa bhene bhabhilibho, bhei shibhapunde kwaapinga bhaaleshelela magambo bhala?”
43 Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.
A Shimoni gubhajangwile, “Penepo imanyishe kuti, bhaleshelelwe ligambo likulungwa shibhapunde kwaapinjiya.” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Elo penepo nnjangwile ukoto.”
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.
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 did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
Mmwe mwanganyambata, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha shijinjilile nne apano bhatendaga nyambata makongono gangu.
46 You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
Mmwe mwangambakaya mauta muntwe, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha bhashimbakaya mauta mmakongono gangu.
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.
Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjila kupinjiya kwabho kwapunda kunalanguya kuleshelelwa kwa ilebho yabho yaigwinji. Aleshelelwe ilebho ishoko, kupinga kwakwe kushokope.”
48 And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwebhala, “Nneshelelwele yambi yenu.”
49 And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
Penepo bhatemingenenabho pashalya bhala gwaabhuyenenje, “Bhenebha bhandu bhashi, bhaakombola nkali kuleshelela yambi?”
50 And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwe bhala, “Ngulupai jenu jintapwile, nnjende kwa ulele.”
