Luke 7
1 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyi kwa ŵandu ŵajawile ku Kapelenaumu.
2 and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
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 and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
Chilongola jula paŵasipilikene ngani si Che Yesu, ŵaatumile achachekulu ŵane ŵa Ŵayahudi ajaule akaachondelele kuti aiche kukunlamya kapolo jwao.
4 And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
Paŵaiche ku Che Yesu, ŵanchondelele nnope achitiji, “Mundu ju akuŵajilwa kukamuchiswa,
5 for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
pakuŵa akwanonyela ŵandu ŵetu, sooni ni jwatutaŵile nyuumba ja kupopelela.”
6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
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 wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall 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, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [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 And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
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 and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
Ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ŵala paŵaiche kumusi kwa chilongola jula ŵansimene kapolo jwao jula ali alamile.
11 And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
Kundaŵi jakwe, Che Yesu ŵajawile mu musi umo waukuŵilanjikwa Naini, mpingo wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalongene nawo.
12 and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was 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 And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'
Ambuje Che Yesu paŵammweni jwankongwe jo ŵankolele chanasa, ni ŵansalile, “Nkalila.”
14 and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
Nipele ŵajawile ni kuchikwaya chitagala chila ni ŵaŵajigele ŵala ŵajimi. Nipele ŵatite, “Mmwe nchanda! Ngunsalila, njimuche!”
15 and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
Jwamwe jula ŵajimwiche ni kutama ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta. Ni Che Yesu ŵauchisye achikulugwe.
16 and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon His people.'
Ŵandu wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba ni ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Jwakulondola jwankulu jwa Akunnungu akopochele kukwetu. Akunnungu aiiche kukwakamusya ŵandu ŵao.”
17 And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
Ngani jo jajenele mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea ni mu ilambo ine iyasyungwile.
18 And 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 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
Ŵalajichisye kwa Ambuje Che Yesu akausye kuti, “Mmwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?”
20 And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
Ŵandu ŵala paŵaiche ku Che Yesu ni ŵatite “Che Yohana Ŵakubatisya atulajisye kukwenu tummusye kuti, ‘Ana alakwe ni nkulupusyo jwakwika pane twalolele ŵane?’”
21 And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted 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 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
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 and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
Asangalale jwele mundu jwangakuchimwa ni une!”
24 And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
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 have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
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 have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to 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 concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
Ngani sya jweleju ni syasilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nnole, nguntuma jwakutumichila jwangu annongolele juchankolochesye litala lyenu.’”
28 for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God 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 And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
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, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
Nambo Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵanganabatiswa ni che Yohana ŵakanile chikotopasyo cha Akunnungu chachikwagamba ŵanyawo.
31 And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Chinaalandanye ni chichi ŵandu ŵa au uŵelesi wu? Ana akulandana ni chichi?
32 they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not 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 Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath 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 came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers 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 and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lusalichikwe kuti luli lwambone ni wose ŵakwitichisya ŵala.”
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
Mfalisayo jumpepe ŵanlaliche Che Yesu kukulya chakulya kumangwao. Ŵajinjile nkati mwa jwele Mfalisayo jo, ŵatemi ni kulya.
37 and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box 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 and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing 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 And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch 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 And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
Che Yesu ŵansalile jwele Mfalisayo jo kuti “Che Simoni, ngwete chakunsalila.” Nombe che Simoni ŵajitichisye, “Elo jwakwiganya, mmechete.”
41 'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, 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 and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
Paŵalepele kummuchisya, jwele mundu jo ŵalechelesye wose ŵaŵili. Mwa ŵandu ŵaŵili wo jwapi juchannonyele nnope jwakukongosya jula?”
43 And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Isyene ni ajula juŵannechelesye ligambo lyekulungwa nnope ni juchannonyele nnope Ambuje.” Che Yesu ni ŵatite, “Njanjile uchenene.”
44 And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
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 a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
Mmwejo nganimungomasya kwa kunonyela pejeje, nambo une chijinjilile mu nyuumba ji jwankongwe ju nganaleka kungomasya kwa kunonyela pa makongolo gangu.
46 with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
Mmwejo nganimumbakasya mauta muntwe, nambo ajuju ambachile mauta pa makongolo gangu.
47 therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
Ngunsalila kuti unonyelo wekulungwa ŵaulosisye ukumanyisya kuti alecheleswe sambi syakwe syasitupile. Nambo jwakulecheleswa indu yaili kanandi, akunonyela kanandi.”
48 And he said to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sambi syenu silecheleswe.”
49 and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
Ŵeŵala ŵaŵalyaga pamo ni Che Yesu ŵausyene achinsyene achitiji, “Ana mundu ju ali ŵaani, jwakukombola atamuno kulechelesya sambi?”
50 and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye, njaule kwa chitendewele.”
