< Luke 13 >

1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
Manoor ashuwots Iyesusok waat, «Gelil ashuwots woosho bo t'intsfere P'ilat'os boon b́úd'i, bo s'atsonowere wooshoonton ekb́k'ri» ett bokeewu.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
Iyesuswere hank'o ett boosh bíaaniy, «Eshe, Gelil ashmanots keewi gond jamman bo ats b́bod bo Gelil ash jamotse bog morr fintsuwotsi bowottsosh arefa itsha?
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
‹Mank'oyiyaliye, naandre eto itk'azal itwor bokok'o t'afitute› etre itsha.
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
Selihom gimbiwo bo ats girshat bíere k'irts tatse shmt ashuwots jango aak'owe itsh bíari? Bo Iyerusalemitse beyiru ash jamwotsiyere bogo morretsuwotsi boteshtsok'o arefa itsha?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
Mank'oyiyaliye! naandre eto itk'azal itwoor bokok'owa it t'afiti.»
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
Maniye hakon Iyesus jewurets keewan b́keewu, «Ash iko b́ woyini mituwots beyoke tokets belesi mitu fa'aniye btesh, belesiy mitmanatse shuwo daatsituwe ett amt datsraniyere b́ oori.
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
Eshe mituwotsi kotiruwosh ‹Hamb, belesi mitanatse shuwo datsifta etaat keez nato ti anaani, ernmó eegor shuwo daatsratse, andowo k'ut'k'rowe! eegishe datso bi awaashiyiri?› bí eti.
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
Mituwotsi kotiruwonuwere hank'o ett bíaaniy, ‹Doonzono! aab handransh k'ayk'rowe, b gúro goyde'er dats goofituwo b gúrats gedetuwe,
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
Gawish shuwo bímal shengre, mank'o woto b́k'zal bin k'ut'k'rewe.› »
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Iyesus Ik'i aawots ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni maa ikotse b́daniyfera b́tesh,
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
Manoknowere tatse shmt naton tuwat kim shayro b jiik'o b́k'urits mááts iku fa'a btesh, jik' k'uur b́wottsotse b́ jamon kááwu dek'ofalratsa.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Iyesus bin b́ bek'tsok'on s'eegdek't, «Nee máátsane n shodotse kasherne!» bíet.
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
B́ kishonowere biats b́gedi, manoor kawudek'at ned'bgutsi, Ik'onowere b údi.
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
Iyesus saambati aawon b́ kashitsotse Ik' k'oni maa naasho fayat ash ashosh, «Ik gawuyotse fin finet shrt aawwots fa'ane, aawanotsn waar kashowere, saambati aawonomó kasho woteratse» ett b́ keewi.
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
Doonzo Iyesuswere hank'o ett bísh bíaaniy, «It tooko dambaan detsirwotso, ititse ik iko Ik'i aawon b́ minzi beero k'as'tse kishde'er, wee b́daazo tipotse bishde'er aats b́ úshetuwok damalkeya?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Eshe, Abraham naar wotts máátsan tatse shmt nat s'eeno shed'anon tipeyat b kic'efere teshrane, bi bere, tipeyat bkic'iru shodanitse Ik'i aawon bítse biisho bish geyiratsa?»
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
B́ keewts keewannó Iyesus bín k'efiruwotsi jitsi b́k'r, ash ashonmó Iyesus b́ fints adits keewu jamon bo geneúwi.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
Iyesus hank'owa bíet, «Ik'i mengstu eega biari erono? Himó awunton bin nutsiwuta?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Ash iko b́ taritalots b́ shookts snafic'i aawuniye bíari, bi enat mit wotbgutsi, kafuwotswere b jaabats bo kúto agbodek'í.»
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
Iyesus aani hank'o biet, «Ik'i mengstu egontoniya t nutsiti?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Ik'i mengstu, mááts iku boot' jamo b́ shashfetso keez tatsi shel buudots baad'i bk'rts boot' shashituniye biari.»
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
Maniye okoon Iyesus Iyerusalem maants amfetst kit kitonat gal galotse daniyfetstni b́ beshefo.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Manoor ash iko, «Doonzono, kashit ashuwots muk'nowa?» ett bíaat. Iyesus hank'o ett boosh bíaaniy,
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
«Fengsh t'ebun beshosh kup'ore, fengesh mann kindosh geyiruwots aynee, ernmó kindo faleratsne etiruwe itsha.
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
Moo doonz tuur fengesho is'etuwe, itwere úratse bede'er fengesho toofetsr ‹Doonzono! oona neesha noosh k'eshuwe!› eto de'e tuwitute, bíwere ‹Ewukik it wattsok'o danatse!› err itsh bíaniti.
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
Manoor it, ‹Nenton towat marone, towat úshrone, no jebatsnowere danirne› it eteti.
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
Bíwere aaniy ‹Aawoke it wottsok'o danatse, it gond finets jamanots ti atse wokoore!› bí eteti.
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
Abrahami, Yisehak'i, Yak'obi, Nebiyi jamwotsi Ik'i mengstotse bek'etute, itmo úratse juweyar it oror eeponat gash k'asho itats bodetuwe.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
Ay ashuwots aaw kindon aaw keshon, gaarnat muurn weetúne, Ik'i mengstotse mishi marats beetúne.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Mann shintswots shuuts shutstswotswere shintsi wotitune.»
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
Manoor ferisawiyotsitse ik ikuwots Iyesus maants t'int «Herodis neen úd'osh b́geyiruwotse hanoke keer amee» bo et.
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
Ernmó Iyesus boosh hank'owa bíet, wangmansh «Amr ‹Hambetsonat yatson fo'erawo kishitwe, shodetswotsi kashitwe, keezl aawonowere t fino ishitwe› etfe err keewwere.
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
Wotowa eree hambetsonat yatson, sharto t weerindo Iyerusalem maants amo taash geyife, nebiyiyo Iyerusalemiye okoon k'osh beyoke k'iro bísh geyiratse.
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
«Iyerusalem! Iyerusaleme! nee nebiyiwotsi úd'irune, n maants wosheets wosh na'úwotsi shútson togirwune, baaku b na'o b gop'shots bkakufok'o, taawere ambtsoto n nana'o kakwo t geyi! ernmó neenat niashwots k'azfone etrte.
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
