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].
Na wakati ou na ou, bhahali abhantu bhabhabholele enongwa eya Bhagalilaya bhala ambabho oPilato asangenye idanda lyabho na dhabihu zyabho.
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?
Wabhagagula wabhabhola, “Eshi msebhe eyaje Agalilaya ebho bhali bhabhibhi ashile Agalilaya wonti hata gabhajile amambo ego gonti?
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.
Embabhola, siyo, lelo nkashile semlamba amwe mwenti mwaitega shesho.
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?
Au bhala kumi na nane bhabhagwelewe no mnara ohwo hu Siloamu wabhagojile msebha eye je abhahale ali bhakosaji ashile abhantu bhonti bhabhakheyee hu 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!”
Embabhola, siyo lelo nkashile semlamba amwe mwenti mwaitega shesho.
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.
Wayanga ofwano ogu, “Omuntu omo ali nikwi lyatotilwe mgonda gwakwe elya mizabibu wabhala awanze amadondo juu yakwe sewa gaga.
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]’
Wabhola omtunzaji owe gonda elye mazabibu enya amaha gatatu ega nenza ahwanze amadondo juu ye yikwi eli. Senahajile ahantu. Oudumre mbona hata ensi enachicha?
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.
Wagalula wabhola ogosi oureshe omwaha ogu gwape, 'hata egufugutile enguponyezye eburi.
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.’”
Lyape ugapapa amadodo pamande, shinza; nkashile sewaipapa ndipo odumraje!”'
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Isiku elya tozye ali asambelezya msjiabhanza eshamwabho.
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.
Na enya, pali noshe yali ni pepo lye udhaifu omda ogwe maha kumi naminane wape agolombene sawezizye ahwigolozye tee.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
O Yesu nawalola akwizizye, wabholo, Maye, oyauliwe katika oudhaifu waho.”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
Wabheha amakhono gakwe juu yakwe wape wagoroha pepo watukuzya Ongolobhe.
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!”
Eshi ogosi oweshibhanza avitilwe afwanaje oYesu aponizye omntu isiku elyatozye agalura wabhobhola mabongano zihweli esiku sita zyazihwaziwa abhombe embombo. Basi enzaji mponywe msiku ezyo wala siyo mnsiku ezyatoye.
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]!
Lelo Ogosi wagalula wayanga amwe, “wanafiki! Shila omo wenyu je sahwigulika eng'ombe yakwe isiku elyatoye mwigoma abhale nayo amwelezye?
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]”
Vono oshe yali shikholo sha Ibulahimu, ambaye oshetani apinyile amaha kumi na minane ega, sehwanziwa aje ayaulwe evifungo evi isiku elya toye?”
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.
Nawayanga ego bhasauhana wonti bhadalihanaga nabho amabongano wonti bha shimo afwanaje eye mambo aminza gagabhombeshe no mwehale.
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.
Esho ayanjile oumwene owa Ngolobhe ulengene ne yenu, nane embulenganisye ne yenu?
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.”
Ulengane ne punje eye haradali yayejile omntu wasasa mgonda gakwe yamela yabha likwii enyonyi ezya mwanya zakhala msamba zyakwe.
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].
Wayanga olya bhele engulenganisye neyenu oumwene owa Ngolobhe?
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.”
Ulengane ne chachu yahejile oshe wayifisa mhati eye pishi zitatu ezye usu hatgwasapa gwonti nantele.”
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].
Wope ali shila mmaboma nu mvijiji asambelezya esafari yakwe eyabhale hu Yerusalemu.
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.
Omntu omo wabhozya eshi, “Gosi, abhantu bhabhahwaulwa bhadodo?” Wabhola,
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.
“Hwitahidi ahwinjile mlyango gula onyela, afanaje embabhola eyaje abhinji bhayanza ahwinjile bhayipotwa.
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!’
Wakati omwanesho nyumba nayemelela na galile olyango namwe mwayanda ahwemelele hwonze nakhome ehodi palyango, na yanje ee Gosi, tigulile omwahale abhagalule na bhabhole sembamenye hwamufuma.'
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]’!
Esho mwayanda ayanje, Taliye na mweele hwitagalile lyaho nawe wasambelezyezye idala elyetu.”
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!’”
Wape abhayanje embabhola, `sembamenye hwamfumele sogalaji hwiline amwe mwenti mwemuli bhabhomba!'
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]!
Esho shashabha shililo nasye amino namwanyihulo oIbulahimu no Isaka, no Yakobo na khakuwa wonti abhe umwene owa Ngolobhe namwe mwemwe mponyezyewe hwonze.
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).
Wope bhayenza abhantu afume hu Mashariki, na hu Magharibi, nafume hu Kaskazini na hu Kusini, wape bhayikhara pashalye pa umwene owa Ngolobhe.
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].”
Na enya, wahweli bhali bhamwisho bhayibha bhahwanda na abha hwanda bhayibha bha 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)]!”
Esaa yeyo Amafarisayo bhamo bhamo bhabhariye, “Bhabhola fuma epe, obhale pamwabho, afwanaje oHerode ahwanza hugoje.”
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.
Wabhabhola, “Bhalaji mbhore ola ombela, `Enya, sanyono na sandabho efumila epepo na ponye empongo, isiku elyatatu ekamiliha.
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].’”
Pandwemo nego enanziwe akhate idala lyane sanyono na shendabho na renda sandabho, afwanaje sehwaziwa aje okuwa atejele hwonze eye 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].
Ee Yerusalemu, u Yerusalemu, wogoga abhakuwa na bhakhome na mawe bhabhasontezyewe, mara halenga enanzile abhabhonganye abhana bhaho nenshe shila ekuku nebhoganya evyana vyakwe pansi eya mapiho gakwe, wala semwahanzile.
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]!’”
Enyaji, mreshewe enyumba yenyu. Nane embabhola, se mwailondola nante na mwaha, hata namwayiyanga asalwe yalwenza hwitawa elya Gosi.”
