Luke 13
1 There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abategeeza Yesu nga Piraato bwe yatta Abagaliraaya, omusaayi gwabwe n’agutabula mu biweebwayo byabwe.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulowooza nti Abagaliraaya abo baali boonoonyi nnyo okusinga Abagaliraaya abalala bonna, balyoke baboneebone batyo?
3 I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe mugenda kuzikirira ng’abo bwe baazikirira.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
Ate bali ekkumi n’omunaana omunaala gwa Sirowamu be gwagwako, ne gubatta, mulowooza be baali basinga obwonoonyi okusinga abantu abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi bonna?
5 I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe bwe mugenda okuzikirira bwe mutyo.”
6 And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
Awo Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyasimba omutiini mu nnimiro ye. N’agendangayo okugulambula okulaba obanga gubazeeko ebibala, n’asanga nga tegubazeeko kibala na kimu.
7 And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?
Kyeyava alagira omusajja we amulimira ennimiro eyo nti, ‘Omuti guno gutemewo. Kubanga gino emyaka esatu nga nambula omuti guno, naye tegubalangako kibala na kimu. Gwemalira bwereere ettaka lyaffe.’
8 And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
Omulimi we n’addamu nti, ‘Mukama wange, tuguleke tetugutemawo. Ka tuguweeyo omwaka gumu, nzija kugutemeratemera era nguteekeko n’ebigimusa.
9 then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
Bwe gulibala ebibala gye bujja, kiriba kirungi! Naye bwe gutalibala, olwo noolyoka ogutemawo.’”
10 And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
Awo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti Yesu yali ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro,
11 there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
ne wabaawo omukazi eyaliko omuzimu ogwamulwaza okumala emyaka kkumi na munaana, nga yeewese emirundi ebiri era nga tasobola kwegolola.
12 And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
Yesu n’amulaba, n’amuyita n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu, owonyezeddwa obulwadde bwo.”
13 And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
N’amukwatako. Amangwago omukazi ne yeegolola n’ayimirira bulungi, n’atendereza Katonda!
14 But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.
Naye omukulembeze w’ekkuŋŋaaniro eryo n’anyiiga nnyo, kubanga Yesu yawonya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. N’agamba ekibiina nti, “Mu wiiki mulimu ennaku mukaaga, muyinza okujjanga mu nnaku ezo ne muwonyezebwa, naye so si ku Ssabbiiti!”
15 The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?
Mukama waffe n’amuddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Buli omu ku mmwe tasumulula nte ye oba ndogoyi ye ku Ssabbiiti n’agitwala okunywa amazzi?
16 And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
Naye si kituufu omukazi ono, muwala wa Ibulayimu, okusumululwa ku Ssabbiiti mu busibe bwa Setaani bw’amazeemu emyaka ekkumi n’omunaana?”
17 Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
Bwe yayogera bw’atyo abaali bamuwakanya bonna ne baswala, naye ekibiina ky’abantu bonna ne bajjula essanyu olw’ebintu eby’ekitalo bye yakola.
18 Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
Awo Yesu kyeyava abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bufaanana na ki? Mbugeraageranye na ki?
19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
Bufaanana na kaweke ka kaladaali omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro ye. Kaamera ne kavaamu omuti, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga ne zituula ku matabi gaagwo.”
20 And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
Ate era n’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda mbugeraageranye na ki?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Buliŋŋanga ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yatabulira mu bipimo by’obuwunga bisatu okutuusa obuwunga bwonna lwe bwazimbulukuka.”
22 And he went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
Awo Yesu n’ayita mu bibuga ne mu bubuga; yagendanga ayigiriza ng’ali ku lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi.
23 And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
Ne wabaawo eyeewuunya nti, “Mukama waffe, abantu abalirokolebwa nga baliba batono?” Yesu n’addamu nti,
24 But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
“Mufube okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda kubanga mbagamba nti, bangi balyagala okuyingira naye tebalisobola.
25 When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
Nannyinimu bw’alisituka n’aggalawo oluggi, mugenda kubeera bweru nga mukonkona nga bwe mwegayirira nti, ‘Mukama waffe, tuggulirewo.’ Agenda kubaanukula nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo.’
26 then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
Nammwe muliddamu nti, ‘Twalyanga naawe era twanywanga ffenna, era wayigirizanga mu nguudo z’ewaffe.’
27 and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo. Munviire mwenna abakozi b’ebitali bya bituukirivu.’
28 and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
Era waliba okukuba ebiwoobe n’okuluma obujiji bwe muliraba Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo ne bannabbi bonna nga bali mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda, naye nga mmwe musuulibbwa ebweru.
29 Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Kubanga abantu baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, ne bava ne mu bukiikakkono ne mu bukiikaddyo, ne batuula ku mmeeza mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
30 And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.
Era laba, abooluvannyuma baliba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye baliba abooluvannyuma.”
31 At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abamu ku Bafalisaayo abajja eri Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Tambula ove wano, kubanga Kerode ayagala kukutta.”
32 And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mugambe ekibe ekyo nti laba ngoba baddayimooni, n’okuwonya abalwadde, leero, n’enkya, era ku lunaku olwokusatu ndimaliriza.
33 but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in Jerusalem.
Naye leero, n’enkya, ne luli nsaana mbeere ku lugendo lwange nga ntambula, kubanga tekisoboka nnabbi okufiira ebweru wa Yerusaalemi!
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
“Ggwe Yerusaalemi, ggwe Yerusaalemi, atta bannabbi, n’okuba amayinja abo ababa batumiddwa gy’oli, emirundi nga mingi nnyo gye njagadde okukuŋŋaanya abaana bo ng’enkoko bw’ekuŋŋaanya obwana bwayo mu biwaawaatiro byayo, naye n’ogaana!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kale laba ennyumba yammwe erekeddwa awo. Era mbagamba nti temugenda kuddayo kundaba okutuusa ekiseera lwe kirituuka ne mugamba nti, ‘Aweereddwa omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.’”
