Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyi kwa ŵandu ŵajawile ku Kapelenaumu.
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Kweleko kwaliji ni chilongola jumo jwa ŵandu ŵangondo mia moja ŵa chiloma juŵaliji ni kapolo juŵankundile nnope. Jwele kapolo jo ŵaliji nkulwala chiŵandi ni kuwa.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
Chilongola jula paŵasipilikene ngani si Che Yesu, ŵaatumile achachekulu ŵane ŵa Ŵayahudi ajaule akaachondelele kuti aiche kukunlamya kapolo jwao.
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Paŵaiche ku Che Yesu, ŵanchondelele nnope achitiji, “Mundu ju akuŵajilwa kukamuchiswa,
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
pakuŵa akwanonyela ŵandu ŵetu, sooni ni jwatutaŵile nyuumba ja kupopelela.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵalongene nawo. Paŵaliji nkuŵandichila kwika pa nyuumba ja chilongola jula, chilongola jula ŵaatumile achambusangagwe ŵaasalile Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje nnalisausye nnope, pakuŵa une nganguŵajilwa mmwejo njinjile mu nyuumba jangu.
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Ali ni ligongo naliweni nganguŵajilwa kwika kukwenu nansyene. Nambo mmechete liloŵe pe ni jwakutumichila jwangu chalame.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Pakuŵa noneji nombe ndili mundu jundi paasi pa ulamusi, sooni ngwete ŵangondo paasi pa une. Nansalilaga jumo ‘Njaule!’ Nombejo akwaula ni jwine, ‘Njise!’ Nombejo akwika ni kapolo jwangu, ‘Ntende achi!’ Nombejo akuchitenda.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
Che Yesu paŵapikene yeleyo, ŵansimosile, nombejo ŵagalauchile ŵandu ŵajinji ŵala ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya ni ŵaasalile, “Nganinachiwone chikulupi chachikulungwa mpela achi namuno mu ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli!”
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
Ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ŵala paŵaiche kumusi kwa chilongola jula ŵansimene kapolo jwao jula ali alamile.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
Kundaŵi jakwe, Che Yesu ŵajawile mu musi umo waukuŵilanjikwa Naini, mpingo wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalongene nawo.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
Nipele paŵaliji aninkuŵandichila pannango wa musi, ŵakopochele ŵandu ali ajigele malilo ga jwanchanda, mwana jwajikajika pe jwa jwankongwe jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe. Ni ŵandu achajinji wa musi ula ŵaliji pamo ni jwankongwe jula.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
Ambuje Che Yesu paŵammweni jwankongwe jo ŵankolele chanasa, ni ŵansalile, “Nkalila.”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
Nipele ŵajawile ni kuchikwaya chitagala chila ni ŵaŵajigele ŵala ŵajimi. Nipele ŵatite, “Mmwe nchanda! Ngunsalila, njimuche!”
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
Jwamwe jula ŵajimwiche ni kutama ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ni Che Yesu ŵauchisye achikulugwe.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
Ŵandu wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba ni ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Jwakulondola jwankulu jwa Akunnungu akopochele kukwetu. Akunnungu aiiche kukwakamusya ŵandu ŵao.”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
Ngani jo jajenele mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea ni mu ilambo ine iyasyungwile.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana ŵaŵalanjile che Yohana yankati syele ngani syose. Nombewo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
Ŵalajichisye kwa Ambuje Che Yesu akausye kuti, “Mmwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
Ŵandu ŵala paŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya atulajisye kukwenu tummusye kuti, ‘Ana alakwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?’”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Katema kakoko Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwalamya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni ilwele ni ŵakulwala ni kugatyosya masoka ni ŵangalola achajinji kwatenda akombole kulola.
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaule nkaasalile che Yohana yose inyiweni mwachinsyene ni kupilikana. Ŵangalola atakulola ni ŵangajenda atakwenda ni ŵaali ni matana akuswejeswa ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana ni ŵawile akusyuswa ni ŵakulaga akulalichilwa Ngani Jambone.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Asangalale jwele mundu jwangakuchimwa ni une!”
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵatyosile, Che Yesu ŵatandite kuusalila mpingo wa ŵandu yankati che Yohana achitiji, “Pamwajawile kukunnola che Yohana mwipululu mula mwalolele kuti chinchione chichi? Ana mwaganisye kuti chinkammone mundu jwali mpela litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
Nipele mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawasile iwalo yakusalala? Ngwamba! Ŵakuwala iwalo yanti yele ni kutama mu upoche ali mu majumba ga chimwenye!
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Musalile, mwajawile kukulola ichichi? Mwajawile kukunnola jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, sooni kupunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Ngani sya jweleju ni syasilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nnole, nguntuma jwakutumichila jwangu annongolele juchankolochesye litala lyenu.’”
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta ngunsalila, “Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵelekwe ni jwankongwe ngapagwa jwankulu kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatiswa. Nambo jwali jwannandi mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni jwankulu kupunda jwelejo.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
Ŵandu wose pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaŵabatiswe ni che Yohana paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajitichisye kuti Akunnungu ali ŵa usyene.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Nambo Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵanganabatiswa ni che Yohana ŵakanile chikotopasyo cha Akunnungu chachikwagamba ŵanyawo.
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chinaalandanye ni chichi ŵandu ŵa au uŵelesi wu? Ana akulandana ni chichi?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
Akulandana ni ŵanache ŵaŵatemi peuto pakusumichisya malonda ni kuŵilangana mpingo ni mpingo, ‘Twangombele ipeta, nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Pakuŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya ŵaiche, nombe ŵaliji nkutaŵa ni nganang'waga divai ni ŵanyamwe mwatite ‘Ali ni lisoka!’
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Nombe Mwana jwa Mundu aiche, akulya ni kung'wa ni ŵanyamwe mwatite, ‘Munnole aju jwakutolwa ju ni jwakolelwa ambusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lusalichikwe kuti luli lwambone ni wose ŵakwitichisya ŵala.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
Mfalisayo jumpepe ŵanlaliche Che Yesu kukulya chakulya kumangwao. Ŵajinjile nkati mwa jwele Mfalisayo jo, ŵatemi ni kulya.
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Pamusi pala paliji ni jwankongwe jumpepe jwali ni sambi. Paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali nkulya mu nyuumba ja Mfalisayo jula ŵajigele kachupa kakakolechekwe ni liganga lyalikuŵilanjikwa alabasta kakagumbele mauta gakununjila.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Ŵaiche ni kwima pachiŵandi makongolo ga Che Yesu, achililaga, ni misosi jakwe japatuchile pa makongolo ga Che Yesu. Jwele jwankongwe jo ŵagatikite makongolo ga Che Yesu kwa umbo syakwe. Ŵagakomasisye makongolo kwa ngomo syakwe ni ŵagapachile mauta.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
Jwele Mfalisayo juŵanlaliche Che Yesu paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mu ntima mwakwe kuti, “Aju mundu ju akaŵe jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, akaimanyi kuti jwankongwe jwakunkwaya ju ali jwanti uli, kuti ali ni sambi.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
Che Yesu ŵansalile jwele Mfalisayo jo kuti “Che Simoni, ngwete chakunsalila.” Nombe che Simoni ŵajitichisye, “Elo jwakwiganya, mmechete.”
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Che Yesu ŵatandite kuŵecheta, “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵankongwele mbiya mundu jumpepe, jumo ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga chaka chimo ni nusu ni jwine ŵakongwele mbiya malinga ni malipilo ga masengo ga mwesi umo ni nusu.
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
Paŵalepele kummuchisya, jwele mundu jo ŵalechelesye wose ŵaŵili. Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵili wo jwapi juchannonyele nnope jwakukongosya jula?”
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Isyene ni ajula juŵannechelesye ligambo lyekulungwa nnope ni juchannonyele nnope Ambuje.” Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Njanjile uchenene.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
Nipele ŵangalauchile jwankongwe jo ni ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Ana ngati nkummona jwankongwe ju? Panajinjile mu nyuumba jenu nganimumba meesi ga kulikunda pa makongolo gangu nambo jwankongwe ju ŵambatuchisye misosi jakwe pa makongolo gangu ni kundikita ni umbo syakwe.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Mmwejo nganimungomasya kwa kunonyela pejeje, nambo une chijinjilile mu nyuumba ji jwankongwe ju nganaleka kungomasya kwa kunonyela pa makongolo gangu.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Mmwejo nganimumbakasya mauta muntwe, nambo ajuju ambachile mauta pa makongolo gangu.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
Ngunsalila kuti unonyelo wekulungwa ŵaulosisye ukumanyisya kuti alecheleswe sambi syakwe syasitupile. Nambo jwakulecheleswa indu yaili kanandi, akunonyela kanandi.”
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sambi syenu silecheleswe.”
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Ŵeŵala ŵaŵalyaga pamo ni Che Yesu ŵausyene achinsyene achitiji, “Ana mundu ju ali ŵaani, jwakukombola atamuno kulechelesya sambi?”
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye, njaule kwa chitendewele.”
