< Luke 7 >

1 Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
Kuzwa Jesu hamana zonse zabali kuwamba bantu nibazuwile, nakenjila mwaKapenauma.
2 Well a certain centurion's slave, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.
Linu muyenzi wachisole abena muhikana yabali kusunwa hahulu kwali, mi abali kulwala ni kusaka kufwa.
3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and rescue his slave.
Muyenzi wachisole nanga zuwa za Jesu, natumina kwali bakulwana ba Majuda, kumukumbila kuti eze njamuhozeze muhikana wakwe.
4 And when they came to Jesus they started pleading earnestly with Him, saying that the one for whom He would do this was worthy,
Habati chibasika kwa Jesu, ni bamukumbila chakukakanina, ni bati, “Uyelele kuti umutendele bulyo,
5 “Because he loves our nation, and he himself built our synagogue.”
mukuti usaka chisi chetu, imi njabatuzakili masinagoge etu.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was no longer far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him: “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof.
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 In fact I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say a word and my servant will be healed;
Chelyo ibaka kanilihindi kuti niyelele kwiza kwako, kono uwambe bulyo inzwi mi muhikanangu kahole.
8 because I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does.”
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 Well upon hearing these things Jesus marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
Imi Jesu hazuwa bulyo, namukomukwa, mi nasandukila kuchisi chibamuichilile nati, “Nimicho kuti, mane nangati mwaIsilaele kananibeni kuwanika itumelo ina bulyo.”
10 When those who were sent returned to the house they found that the slave who had been sick was well.
Imi linu bana babatumitwe habakabola kunzuvo, nibeza kuwana kuti muhikana chaba nenza.
11 Now it happened on the next day that He went to a town called Nain, and many of His disciples went with Him, also a large crowd.
Izo hazimana kutendahala, Jesu abayendi kwitolopo isupwa Naine, mi barutwana bakwe ni chisi ni bayenda naye.
12 But as He approached the town gate, mercy, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; a large crowd from the town was 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 When the Lord saw her He had compassion on her and said to her, “Don't cry!”
Imi Simwine hamubona, abamufwili maswe inse, imi abawambi kwali nati, “Sanzi ulili.”
14 And advancing He took hold of the bier and the bearers stood still. Then He said, “Young man, to you I say, get up!”
Kuzwaho nichaya kwateni ni kukakwata kuzisamu hababahindile chitumbi, imi babachihindite nibazimana. Nichati, “Murombwana, nikucho kuti, buke.”
15 So the dead man sat up and began to talk! Yes, He gave him back to his mother.
Yofwile nekala ni kutanga kuwamba, mi Jesu namutambika kubanyina.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited 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 report about Him went throughout Judea, as well as all the surrounding region.
Iyi indaba ya Jesu ibahasani mwaJudea yonse ni zikiliti zonse zibambene nanyo.
18 Then the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
Barutwana ba Johani babamuwambili izi zintu zonse.
19 And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?”
Kuzwaho Johani nasupa bobele babarutwna bakwe ni kubatumina kwaSimwine nibakati, “Kana nguwe yoswanela kwiza, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”
20 When the men had come to Him, they said: “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?’”
Heti chibasika hafwihi ni Jesu, bakwame nibati, “Johani Mukolobezi wakatutuma kwako zetu kuti, 'kana nguwe yokezite, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”'
21 Well in that very hour He healed many from diseases and torments and malignant spirits, and to many blind He granted sight.
Mweyo inako Jesu abahozi bantu bangi mumalwalila abo ni mumasukuluko abo ni mwihuho imbilala, imi ni kubahofu bangi ababahi kubona.
22 So in answer Jesus said to them: “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind regain sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, dead are raised, the poor are evangelized.
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, blessed is he who does not take offense at me!”
Muntu yasasiyi kuzumina kwangu chebaka lazitendantu zangu utohonolofezwe.”
24 Now when John's messengers had departed, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to observe, a reed being shaken by 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 clothed in soft garments? Really, those with gorgeous apparel and living in luxury are in palaces.
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 much more than a prophet.
Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mupolofita na? Eee, niwamba kwenu, ni kuhitilila mupolofita.
27 This is he about whom it is written: ‘Take note, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Uzu njiyena uzo zakwe ziñoletwe, 'Hamulole, nitumina mutuminwa wangu mubusu bwako, Yeti nalukise inzila yako noseni kusika.'
28 Further, I tell you that among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet 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 (When all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
Bantu bonse habazuwa ichi, kuhindilila batelisa, bababonisi kushiyama kwa Ireeza, chakukolobezwa chekolobezo ya Johani.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)
Linu Bafalisi ni baluti babamaninizi bamulao wa chiJuda babakani zamulero weze Ireeza kuamana navo, mukuti kana babakolobezwa kwa Johani.
31 “To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they similar?
“Kuchinzi, linu, kuniwola kubambanya bantu bounu murahi? Bakola sina chizi?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not cry.’
Bakola sina bahwile bakwete bazanina henkanza, bekala ni kulinsupa ni bati, “Tubamilizizi impeta, kono kanamubazani. Tubamizimbili izimbo zenjinjo, mi kana mubasilisi.'
33 Because John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
Mukuti Johani Mukolobezi abezi nasaali inkonko ni kusanywa iwaine, muwamba kuti, 'Wina idimona.'
34 The Son of the Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Mwana Muntu abezi nalya ni kunywa, imi muti, “Mulole, nji shazilyo ni chidakwa, mulikani wabatelisa ni batendi bazive!'
35 Still, by all her children wisdom is justified.”
Kono butali buzumininwe ni bana bakwe bonse.”
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Him to eat with Him, so He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined.
Lyahanu umwina wa Bafalisi na mema Jesu kukalya naye. Linu Jesu hamana kwinjila munzuvo ya Mufalisi, nekala hetafule kulya.
37 But then, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she found out that He was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster flask 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 as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.
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 as the Pharisee who had invited Him observed this, he was saying to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him, including what sort of woman she is—because 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 So Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say on.”
Jesu namwitaba nati, “Simoni, nina chinisaka kuwamba kwako.” Nati, “Chiwambe, Muruti!”
41 “A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Jesu nati, “Mukolotisi zumwi wamasheleñi abena bakoloti bobele. Umwina nakolota ipondo zichita myanda imana iyanza, imi zumwi niyaba makumi amana iyanza.
42 And when they had no way to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now tell me, which of them will love him more?”
Imi habakangwa kumuliha, nabaswalela bonse. Cheyo inzila, njeni kubali yeti amusake chakumaniniza?”
43 So Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one to whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
Simoni abamwitabi nati, “Nihupula kuti njozuna yabaswalelwa kukando.” Jesu namuti, “Waatula nenza.”
44 Then He turned toward the woman and said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; 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.
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 gave me no kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since the time I came in.
Iwe kana ubanichuchuni, kono iye kuzwa henako yinitanga kwiiza kasiite kuchuchuna matende angu.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
Kana ubetili ioili hamutwi wangu, kono iye abetili matende angu ni ioili inunka bulotu.
47 For this reason, I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
Chobulyo niti kwako, zive zakwe, zibali zingi, chizaswalelwa ¬ mukuti watondeza kusuna kukando. Kono iye yoswalelwa halikene, usuna halikene.
48 Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Linu abati kwali, “Zive zako zaswalelwa.”
49 The other recliners began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Babekele hamwina nibatanga kuambola mukati kabo, “Njeni uzu yoti uwola nanga kuswalela zive?”
50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”
Kuzwaho Jesu nichati kumwanakazi. “Itumelo yako yakuhaza. Yende chekozo.”
