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].
Kumatungo yayoyayo, aakole baadhi aantu naamuie migulya Aagalilaya kuite upilato auabulagile nukuahalinkanya usakami ao nimasongilyo oa.
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?
U Yesu akaasukilya akaaila, “Ite mulungile Eagalilaya awa akete milandu kukila Agalilaya neangiza ehi ee indogoelyo apatilwe naya nemabe?
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.
Kutile, kumuila, lakini angamuhite kutubu, nunyenye mukulimiila uu, uu,
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?
Ite awa aantu nikumi namunana ku Siloamu nsoko umunana nauugwie nukuabulaga, musegile neanso aeanyamilandu kukila aantu niangiza ku Yerusalemu?
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!”
Kutile unene, kutambula lakini angamuhite kutubu, unye mehinunyenye mukulimeela.
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.
U Yesu wakaaila kumpyani eye, “Muntu ung'wi aukite mutini utemewe mukate amugunda wakwe aewendile kuduma inkali migulya lakini akaulya.
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]’
Akamuila umutunzi wakianza, “Goza, kumyaka itatu nezile kugema kuduma inkali yakwe mumutini uwu lakini nikaulya. Uuteme. Kunsoko ukuleta uube mihe?
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.
Umutunzi wakianza wikaasukilya nukuaila; uleki ung'waka uwuite nuuginge nukuekila embolea migulya akwe.
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.’”
Anga watuga inkali yakwe ung'waka nuuzile, iza, lakini angawahita kutuga uuteme!”
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Itungile u Yesu akatula amanyisa mujawapo wamatekeelo matungo a Sabato.
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.
Goza, aukole musungu ung'we nsoko myaka kumi na munana aukete nkolo mbee auneketu. Nung'wenso aewipendile aimigila anga uhumi lukulu nuwakimika.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
U Yesu naumuine, wakamitanga, akamuila, “Musungu ukole huru kupuma muudhaifu wako.”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
Akaika imekono akwe migulya akwe, kuite umwiite wake ukagoloka akamukulya Itunda.
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!”
Uugwa u mukulu nua itekeelo ai utakile kunsoko u Yesu umugunile muntu luhiku nula kusupya, akasukiilya, aka atambuila i anyianza, “Mahiku mutandatu nazipie kituma u mulimo, uugwa pembyi, muagune mu mahiku nanso, hangi shanga mu luhiku nula Kusupya.”
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]!
Umukulu wikamusukilya nukumuila, “Uteele! Kuite kina ung'we anyu witung'wila endogwe akwe ang'wi ng'ombe kupuma mitando nukuatongela kuatwala kung'wa uluhiku lakukulya?
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]”
Kuite umunanso wang'wa Abrahamu, nsoko u Shetani umutungile kumyaka kumi na munana. Ite shangaaizepiene ikitungo kakwe kileke kutunguelwa luhiku lakukulya?”
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.
Nautuile kutambula imakani nanso, awa ehi naeakumugilya akahung'wa minyala, imakutano ehi neangiza ekalumbilya kunsoko amakani namakula naiwitumile.
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.
U Yesu wikatambula, “Utemi wang'wi Tunda wipyani nentuni, nakuwipyana nentuni?
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.”
Anga embeu amuharadali naumihoile umuntu ung'wi nukumitemela mumugonda wakwe, ikazepa ekatula mute ukulu, ninyunyi yakilunde yekazenga itie yao mumatambe akwe.
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].
Ite akatambula, “Nuipyanye nintuni utemi wang'wi Tunda?
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.”
Inge ihanganga iigae umusungu nuehola wekahalinkanya muipimo itatu niyautu yekaumuka.”
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].
U Yesu augendee kila ikesale neisale munzila naulongoe ku Yerusalemu nukuamanyisa.
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.
Muntu ung'wi wikakolya, “Mukulu, antu akehu dune niakuokolewa?” Ite wakaaila.
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.
Ingimelye kingila kukiila mulango nuupinye kunsoko eedu akugema kingiila shangaakuweza.
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!’
Kuite anga umukulu wa nyumba anga wingile nukufunga umulango, ite mukimeka kunzi nukukua ehodi pamulango nukiitanga, mukulu, mukulu, kuluguile nung'wenso ukusukilya nukuaila, shanganumumanyile unye kunamupumile.”
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]’!
Ite mukulunga, Aekulie nukungwa ntongeela ako nuewe aukumanyisilye muisale yitu.”
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!’”
Lakini nuanso ukuasukilya, nukuaila, shanganumumanyile kumupumiie, hegi pitalane, unye nimituma imelandu!
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]!
Ikutula kelelo nukukelya emino matungo nimekaaona u Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo neitumii ehi muutemi wang'wi Tunda lakini inye unyenye mugumilwe kunzi.
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).
Akapika kupuma kukilya, kung'weli, kutakama, nukukuma, nukusupya. Pameza aandya yampende muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
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].”
Nengile nuamwisho ukutula wang'wandyo nuyu nuang'wandyo ukutula wa mwisho”
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)]!”
Matungo makupe baadaye, ang'wi a mafarisayo aazile nukuaila, “Longola nahega apaite kunsoko u Herode utakile kuulaga.
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.
U Yesu akatambula, “Longoli mumuile umbweha, goza kuazunsa aapepo nukituma kukamya ilelo numudau, nuluhiku lakatatu kutimilya ilengo lane.
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].’”
Kuhali ehi nanso, inge muhimu kunsoko ane kendelea eleleye, numudau, nuluhiku nulutyatie, kunsoko shangaigombigwe kumubulaga umitumi kule ni Yerusalemu.
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].
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, nyenyu nukuabulaga eitumi nukuakua imagwe awa naatumilwe kitalanyu. Kanga naetakile kumilingila eana anyu anga inkuku nilingila eana akwe pihe ambaa yakwe, lakini shangamikalegomba ile.
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]!’”
Goza, inyumba ako alekwa. Nunene kumuila, shangamuhumile kuona nemekatambula ubarikiwe uyu nuzile kulina lang'wa Mukulu.
