< Luke 13 >

1 Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Shipindi shilii wantu wamu yawaweriti palii wamgambiriti Yesu kwajili wantu wa Galilaya weni Pilatu kawalagiti pawaweriti wankulaviya tambiku kwa Mlungu.
2 And, answering, he said unto them—Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?
Yesu kawakosiya, “Toziya wantu wa Galilaya wawalagiti kwa njira ilii, mlihola kuwera waweriti na vidoda kuliku wantu wa Galilaya wamonga?
3 Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.
Neni nonga, ndala! Nukugambirani kuwera handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.
4 Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?
Ntambu gaa kwajili ya wantu lilongu na wanani wa Silowamu yawahowiti shipindi mnara paguwatulukiriti? Mlihola kuwera womberi waweriti wanavidoda kuliku wantu wamonga wawalikala Yerusalemu?
5 Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.
Ndala! Nukugambirani mwenga, handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.”
6 And he went on to speak this parable: —A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and found none.
Su Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na muntu yumu, keniti na mtera gwa tini mulirambu lyakuwi. Kagenditi kwapa tini mumtera kumbiti kapata ndiri.
7 And he said unto the vine-dresser—Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?
Su kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa lirambu, ‘Guloli, kwa mivinja mitatu paniza kwapa mabwajubwaju mumtera gwa tini, kumbiti nugawona ndiri. Gugudumuli! Toziya gumalira hera litapaka.’
8 And, he, answering, saith unto him—Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, —
Kumbiti ntumintumi kamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, guguleki huti kwa shinja shimu hera, hanugulimili na kugulekera mbotu.
9 and if it may bear fruit for the future; …but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.
Pagulera mabwajubwaju shinja shankwiza, hayiherepi nentu, kumbiti pagulera ndiri su guweza kugudumula.’”
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.
Yesu kaweriti munumba ya Mlungu mulishaka lya kwoyera pakafunda.
11 And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, —and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.
Palii peniti na mdala yakeniti na shamshera yakamtenda kalwali mivinja lilongu na nane, kaweriti na shibyongu ata kasinditi kugoloka.
12 And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her—Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, —
Yesu pakamwoniti kamshema, “Mawu, su guponiziwa ulweli waku!”
13 and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.
Kamtulila mawoku gakuwi, na palaa palii shibyongu shihuka na kawera safi, su kamkwisiti Mlungu.
14 But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude—Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
Mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu kaweriti kakalala Yesu pakamponiziyiti mulishaka lya kwoyera, su kawagambiriti wantu, “Kwana mashaka sita gamuweza kutenda lihengu, mwizi mumashaka aga muponiziwi malweli genu, namwiza Mulishaka lya kwoyera!”
15 The Lord answered him, and said—Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?
Mtuwa kamwankula, “Gwamfyangu gwenga! Ndo gaa pakati penu mekamvuguli ng'ombi ama punda gwakuwi kulawa mulizizi na kumtenda kalandi mashi ata payiwera lishaka lya kwoyera?
16 But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?
Vinu su peni panu kwana muhinga gwa Aburahamu ndomweni Shetani kamtenda shibyongu kwa mivinja lilongu na nane, su iherepa ndiri kumponiziya mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
17 And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
Kuwankula kwakuwi kuwatenditi wadoda wawoni soni weni, kumbiti wantu wamonga wanemeleriti toziya ya vitwatira vyakatenditi.
18 He went on to say, therefore—Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken it?
Yesu kakosiyiti, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu ulifana na shishi? Nuufaniziyi na shintu gaa?
19 It is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.
Ulifana hangu. Muntu katola mbeyu ndidini nentu ya haradali na kuyala mulirambu. Mbeyu imera na kuwera mtera, na wampongu wiza na kunyawa vitukulu vyawu mumitambi.”
20 And, again, he said—Whereunto, shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Kayi Yesu kakosiya, “Hanuufaniziyi Ufalumi wa Mlungu na shintu gaa?
21 It is, like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until, the whole, was leavened.
Ulifana na simika yakatoliti mawu yumu na kuyihanganyiya pamuhera na ubumu vipimu vitatu, su ubumu woseri ututumuka.”
22 And he was journeying on, city by city and village by village, and making, progress, unto Jerusalem.
Yesu kendereyiti na mwanja gwakuwi kugenda muisi na muvijiji, pakafunda wantu na pakanyawa njira yakuwi kugenda Yerusalemu.
23 And one said unto him—Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them—
Muntu yumu su kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, wantu hawawalopoziyi ndo wadidini hera?” Yesu kawagambiriti,
24 Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able, —
“Mkamaliri nentu kwingira mumlyangu mdidini, toziya wantu wavuwa hawajeli nakaka kwingira kumbiti hapeni wingiri.
25 when once the householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying—Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you—I know you not, whence ye are.
Mkulu gwa numba hakimuki na kutata mlyangu, mwenga hamgoloki kunja na kwanja kukota mlyangu na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, mtuwa! Gutuvuguliri mlyangu!’ Nayomberi hakawankuli, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga na pamlawa!’
26 Then, will ye begin to say—We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;
Su mwenga hamwankuli, ‘Tuliya na kulanda pamuwera na gwenga, na gwenga gutufunditi muisi yetu!’
27 And he will speak, saying unto you—I know not whence ye are; Depart from me, all workers of unrighteous—
Kumbiti yomberi kayi hakalongi, ‘Nupamana ndiri pamlawa. Muwuki kulawa kwaneni mwoseri mtenda vidoda!’
28 There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.
Su panu hamulili na kugayagaya menu genu pawakwasirani kunja na hamuwaloli Aburahamu na Isaka na Yakobu na wambuyi wa Mlungu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!
29 And they shall have come from east and west, and from north and south, and be made recline in the kingdom of God.
Wantu hawizi kulawa kwagulawa mushenji na kwaguzyeta mushenji, kulawa kushana na kusika, su hawaweri mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
30 And lo! there are, last, who shall be, first, and there are, first, who shall be, last;
Su woseri yawawera wa upeleru hawaweri wa kwanja, na woseri yawawera vinu wa kwanja hawaweri wa upeleru.”
31 In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.
Shipindi shilaa shiliya Wamafalisayu wamu wamwiziriti Yesu na kumgambira, “Gufiruwa guwuki panu na gugendi pahala pingi, toziya Herodi kafira kakulagi gwenga!”
32 And he said unto them—Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, —
Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri shibweta ulii hangu, ‘Nankuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya walweli leru na shilawu, na lishaka lya tatu hamalili lihengu lyangu.’
33 and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, to-day, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem.
Vila vilii mpaka nweri mumwanja leru, na shilawu, na lishaka limonga, toziya iherepa ndiri kwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu wamlagi kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, —and ye did not desire!
“Yerusalemu! Shondi shondi Yerusalemu bamu! Guwalaga wambuyi wa Mlungu, guwagumanga kwa mabuwi walii yawatumitwi kwaku! Vipindi vivuwa nfira kuwatula wana waku mumawoku mwangu gambira nkuku pakavigupika vyana vyakuwi kwa mbapatiru zyakuwi, kumbiti gwenga gunema!
35 Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you—In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say, —Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Su hawakulekeli gumweni numba yaku. Nukugambira nakaka gwenga hapeni muwoni mpaka shipindi shiza pamtakula, ‘Mlungu gumtekeleri ulii yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa.’”
