Luke 7
1 After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
Baada jha Yesu kumala khila khenu kya ajobheghe kwa bhanu bhabhamp'elekisieghe, akajhingila Kapernaumu.
2 There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
Mtumwa fulani ghwa akida, jhaajhe ghwa thamani sana kwa muene, ajhen'tamu sana na ajhele karibu kufwa.
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
Lakini bho ap'eliki kuhusu Yesu, jhola Akahida andaghisi ndongosi ghwa kiyahudi kun'soka ahidayi kumwokola mtumwa ghwa muene ili asifi.
4 When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
Bhobhafikiri karibu ni Yesu, bhan'sihili kwa bidii ni kujobha, “akestahili kwamba ghwilondeka kubhomba naha kwandabha jha muene,
5 because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
Kwandabha aliganili litaifa lya tete, na ndo jhaajengili lisinagogi kwandabha jha tete”.
6 So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
Yesu akajhendelela ni safari jha muene pamonga nabhu. Lakini kabla jha kulota patali ni nyumba, afisa mmonga abhalaghisi marafiki zake kulongela naku. “Bwana, usikitondesi ghwe muene kwandabha nene nilondeka lepi bhebhe kujhingila mu dari jhangu.
7 I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
Kwandabha ejhe nafikiririlepi hata nene nemwene kujha nilondeka kuhida kwa bhebhe, lakini jobhayi lilobhi tu ni mtumishi ghwa nene ibeta kupona.
8 [I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Kwani ni nene ne munu jha nibhekhibhwa mu mamlaka na nijhe ni askari chini jha nene. Wijobha kwa ojho “Lotayi” na ilota, nikwajhongi, “Hidayi” ni muene ihida, ni kwa mtumishi ghwa nene 'bhomba ekhe', ni muene ibhomba”.
9 When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
Yesu bhoapeliki agha ashangele, ni kubhageukila makutano bhabhan'kesieghe ni kujobha. “Nikabhajobhela hata mu Israeli, nibhwayilepi kubhona munu mwenye imani kama ejho.
10 When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
Kisha bhala bhabhalaghisibhu bhakherebhuiki kunyumba ni kun'kolela mtumishi amalikupona.
11 Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
fulani baada jha agha, jhatokili kujha Yesu ajhe isafiri kulota mji bhwabhukutibhweghe Naini. Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalota pamonga nabhu bhakaambatana ni umati bhwa bhanu.
12 As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
Bhoafikiri karibu ni lango lya jiji langayi, munu jhaafwili ajhele ap'endibhu, na ndo muana ghwa pekee kwa nyinamunu jhaajhe mjane, ni umati bhwa bhawakilishi kuhoma mu jiji bhajhele pamonga nakhu.
13 When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
Bho ambwene, Bwana akan'hegelela kwa huruma mbaha sana juu jha muene ni kun'jobhela, “Usileli”.
14 Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
Kisha akahegelela palongolo akaligusa lijeneza ambalyo bhap'endili mb'ele, na bhala bhabhap'endili bhakajhema akajobha “N'songolo nijobha jhumukayi”
15 The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
Mfu akajhinuka ni kutama pasi ni kujhanda kulongela. Kisha Yesu akan'kabidhi kwa nyinamunu.
16 Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
Kisha hofu ikabhamema bhoha. Bhakajhendelela kun'tukusya k'yara bhakajobha “Nabii mbaha ajhinulibhu miongoni mwa jhotu” ni “k'yara abhalangili bhanu bha muene”
17 [Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
Ese habari sinofu sya Yesu syajhenili Yudea jhioha ni mikoa ghioha ghya jirani.
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
Bhanafunzi bha Yohana bhakan'jobhili mambo agha ghoha.
19 So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
Ndipo Yohana akabhakuta bhabhele bha bhanafunzi bha muene ni kubhalaghisya kwa Bwana kujobha “Bhebhe ndo jhola jhaihida, au ajhe munu jhongi tundendelelajhi?
20 When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
Bhobhafikiri karibu ni Yesu abha bhakajobha, “Yohana mbatizaji atulaghisi kwa bhebhe kujobha, 'Bhebhe ndo jhola jhaihida au ajhe jhongi tundendelelajhi?”
21 At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
Kwa wakati obho abhaponyisi bhanu bhingi bhenye matamu ni malombosi, kuhoma kwa roho bhachafu ni kwa bhanu bhenye upofu wabhapelili kulanga.
22 So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
Yesu ajibili ni kujobha kwa bhene. “Baada jha kujha mlotili kwa muhomili mwibeta kumjulisha Yohana kya mukibhwene ni kup'eleka. Bhenye upofu bhipokela kulola ni fiwete bhibeta kugenda, bhenye ukoma bhitakasika viziwi bhibeta kup'eleka, bhafu bhifufulibhwa ni kujha hai kabhele, masikini bhijobhibhwa habari jhinofu.
23 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
Na munu jhaibeta kuleka lepi kuniamini nene kwa matendo ghangu abarikibhu”.
24 When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
Baada jha bhala bhabhalaghisibhu ni Yohana kukerebhuka kwa bhahomili, Yesu akajhanda kujobha kwa makutano juu jha Yohana, “Mwalotili kwibhala kulanga kiki, litasi likajha lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
25 Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
Lakini Mwalotili kwibhala kulola kiki, munu jhaafwalili kinofu? Langajhi bhanu bhala bhabhifuala maguanda gha kifalme ni kuishi maisha gha starehe bhajhe mu nafasi sya bhafalme.
26 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
Lakini mwilota kwibhala kulola kiki, Nabii? Ndio, nijobha kwa muenga ni zaidi sana kuliko nabii.
27 He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
Ojho ndo jhaajhandikibhu, “Langayi, nikandaghisya mjumbe ghwa nene palongolo pa mihu gha jhomu, jhaibeta kujhandala njela kwandabha jha nene,
28 I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
Nijobha kwa muenga, kati jha bhala bhabhahogoliki ni n'dala, ajhelepi mbaha kama Yohana, lakini munu jha ajhele muhimu lepi sana jhaibeta kuishi ni K'yara mahali pa ajhele muene, ibeta kujha mbaha kuliko Yohana.”
29 When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
Ni bhanu bhobhap'eliki agha pamonga ni bhatoza ushuru, bhatangasisi kujha k'yara ndo ajhe ni huruma ni haki. Bhajhele kati jha bhene bhala bhabhabatisibhu kwa ubatizo bhwa Yohana.
30 But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
Lakini Mafarisayo ni bhataaalamu bha sheria sya kiyahudi, ambabho bhabatisibhulepi ni muene bhabelili hekima sya k'yara kwandabha jha bhene.
31 [Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
Kabhele nibhwesya kubhalenganisya ni. kiki bhanu bha kizazi ekhe? bhajhe bhuli hasai?
32 You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
Bhiwaningana ni bhana bhabhikina maeneo gha soko, bhabhitama ni kukutana mmonga baada jha jhongi bhijobha, 'Tukobhili filimbi kwandabha jha muenga na mwakinilepi. Tuombolisi na mulelilepi.'
33 [Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
Yohana mbatizaji ahidili alilepi n'kate wala kunywa divai, na mwajobhili “Ajheni pepo.
34 In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
Mwana ghwa munu ahidili alili ni kunywa na mwajobhili, “Langayi ndo mlafi na ndefi, rafiki ghwa bhatoza ushuru ni bhenye dhambi!
35 But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
Lakini hekima itambuliki kujhe ijhe ni haki kwa bhana munu bhoha”
36 [One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
Mmonga ghwa Mafarisayo ans'okili Yesu alotayi kulya pamonga ni muene. Baada jha Yesu kujhingila mu nyumba jha farisayo, ajheghemili mu meza ili aliayi.
37 There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
Langayi kwajhele ni n'dala mmonga katika jiji e'lu jhaajhe ni dhambi. Agunduili kujha atamili kwa farisayo, akaleta chupa jha manukato.
38 [As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
Ajhemili kunyuma jha muene karibu ni magolo gha muene khoni ilela. Kabhele ajhandili kulobhanisya magolo gha muene kwa mahosi, ni kujhifuta kwa niwili sya mutu bhwa muene akaibusu magolo gha muene ni kujhibaka manukato.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
Ni jhola Farisayo jhaamwaliki Yesu bho abhuene naha, akawasya muene akajobha, “Kama munu ojho ngaajhe nabii, ngaamanyi ojho niani na ni aina jheleku jha n'dala jhaikan'gusa, jhakujha mwenye dhambi.
40 Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
Yesu ajibili ni kujobha, “Simoni nijhe ni khenu kyakijobhela.”akajobha” “kijobha tu Mwalimu!”
41 Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
Yesu akajobha “kwajhele ni bhaefaiwa bhabhele kwa mkopeshaji mmonga. Mmonga akabha wa idaibhwa dinari Mia tano ni bhwa pili adaibhu dinari hamsini.
42 Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
Na bhobhajhelapi ni hela jha kundapa akabha samehe bhoha. Henu nieni jha ibeta kurigana zaidi?
43 Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
Simoni ajibilili ni kujobha, “Nidhani jha asamehibhu nesu.” Yesu akanijobhla, “Uhukumuili kwa usahihi.”
44 Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
Yesu akanigeukila n'dala ni kujobha kwa Simoni, “Umbwene n'dala ojho. Nijhingili munyumba jha jhobh. Unipelihitapi masi kwandabha jha magolo gha nene, lakini ojho, kwa mahosi gha muene alobhani si magolo gha nene ni kuifuta kwa njuili sya muene.
45 You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
Wanibusuililepi, lakini muene, tangia ajhingili o'mo alekilepi kunibusu magola gha nene.
46 You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
Gwa jhibaki lepi magolo gha need nene mafuta, lakini ajhibakili magolo gha nene kwa manukato.
47 So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
Kwa lijambo ele, nikujobhela kujha ni dhambi semehele na asamehibhu nesu, na kabhele aganili nesu. Lakini jha asamehibhu kidebe, igana kidebe tu.”
48 Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
Baadajhe akan'jobhela n'dala, “Dhambi sya bhebhe simalikusamehebhwa”
49 Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
Bhala bhabhatamili pameza pamonga ni muene bhakajhanda kujobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Ojho niani mpaka isamehe dhambi?”
50 But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
Ni Yesu akan'jobhela n'dala, “Imani jha jhobhi jhikuokwili. Lotayi kwa amani”
