Luka 13
1 Cheyo nako vantu vamwi vava mu wambili cha Magalileya avo, malaha, avo, a va kopanyi Pilato ni zitabelo zavo.
Now at that time there were some present who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Herod had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Jesu ave tabi nati ku vali, Linu muhupula kuti avo Magalileya vena zivi zingi kuhita Magalileya vonse vava nyandiswa che nzila iyi?
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Do you suppose that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Nanta, ni mi wambila. Niti, heva ni mu sa lisa lichuli zivi zenu muvonse mo mufwe munzila iswana.
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!
4 Ni heva vantu vene kumi ni valikana iyanza ni vo tatwe, va zwa mwa Siloe avo itawala iva wili ni ku ve haya, muhupula kuti va vena zivi kuhitiliza vamwi vakwame mwa Jerusalema?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them; do you suppose they were worse offenders than all others living in Jerusalem?
5 Nanta, niti kwenu, heva ni musa lichuli zivi zenu mu vonse momu fwe.
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!”
6 Jesu ava wambi inguli iyi, muntu zumwi ava vyali isamu lye feiga mwi wa lyakwe lye veine, linu neza kulola kwateni zi hantu ze veine cheza kuvula na nga konke.
Then He told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7 Mukwame, nati ku mulimi, lole, cheli zilimo zo tatwe nini za kulola zi hantu kweli samu kono kani wani nanga konke. Liteme, liwe bulyo. Chinzi holi silile ni lishinye vuu?'
So he said to the gardener: ‘Look, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down; just why must it waste the soil?’
8 Mulimi, ne tava nati, 'Mu siye vulo, chinu chilimo, nili, limine ni ku livika mununo.
But in answer he said to him, ‘Sir, let it be this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer,
9 Heva mu livike, zi, hantu, chilimo chi keza, ku lotu, linu, heva ka liviki, mu liteme liwe.'”
in case it produces fruit—but if not, then cut it down.’”
10 Linu, Jesu avali ku ruta mwi Sinagoge, le nsavata.
Now as Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
11 Muvone, mwanakazi a vena mwa teni ke zi limo zine kumi ni zi likana iyanza, ni zo tatwe, nena luhuho lubi lwa kufokola, linu, chava koteme musana kana vali ku wola kuzima.
He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up.
12 Linu, Jesu nga amu vona, ava sumpi kwali nati, “Mwanakazi, niti, chi wa sumununwa ku manyando ako.
So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!”
13 Cha vika manza heulu lya kwe, mi chenako yonke, cha oloka mi chatemba Ireeza.
He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.
14 Linu Mukulwana we Sinagoge cha venga ahulu che vaka lyo kuti Jesu ava hozi mwanakazi mwi zuva lye nsavata. Linu muyendisi we Sinagoge ne tava ku chicava nati, kwina mazuva alikane yanza ni zuva limwina, mazuva etu swanela ku seveza. mwize muhozwe, nanta lye nsavata.
But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Ireeza na mwi tava nati, Inwe mulihele kana kete musumunune imbongolo kapa Iñombe kuitwala ku kunywa menzi le nsavata?
So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?
16 Linu kozu mwana Abrahama yava suminwe kwa Satani zi limo cha zi limo zine kumi ni zilimo zilikane ya nza ni zilimo zo tatwe, linu kene nswanelo yakwe kuti a sumununwe mwi zuva lye nsavata?
So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 Sina hava wambi izi zintu, vonse va vali kumu sheununa, vava swabi ahulu. Linu, chonse chi chava chiva sangi ahulu ni kumu temba cha zintu za vatendi.
When He said these things all His adversaries were put to shame, while all the crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
18 Linu, Jesu chati, muvuso we Reeza wina vule? Imi ka ni u vambaye ni chi?
Then He said: “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
19 Kukola uvu lutanga lwe samu luva sohelwa mwiwaa, ni ku kula kuva isamu ikando, mi zizuni zewulu chiza zaka zizumbo kumitavi.”
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a sizable tree, and the birds of the air perched on its branches.”
20 Hape chati, “Kani uvambanye nichi muvuso we Reeza?
Again He said: “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Ku swana sina mulungo wava kopanyi mwanakazi muvusu vwavu roto kuti vu funduluke chi vukopene neza ni vusu vwa vuroto.
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Jesu ava poteli mileni ni minzi havena munzila kuya kwa jerusalema niku va ruta.
He was traveling through various towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Zumwi chati kwali, “Simwine, na vache feela vantu vete vapuluswe?” Cwale cha wamba kuvali,
Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are the ones being saved few?” So He said to them:
24 Mu lwile kwinjila mu mulyango u kumbene, kakuti, niti kwenu, bungi mu vatavele kwi njila, kono kete va wole kwi njila.
“Exert yourselves to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will try to enter and not manage it.
25 Linu mwine we nzuvo havuka, mi cheyela mulyango, linu kamu zimane hanze ni mungongota, ni muti, Simwine, Simwine tusiye twinjile,' Mi ketave ni kucho kwenu, kani mizi inwe kapa muka zwila kuhi.'
When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ and in answer he will say to you, ‘I do not know you; where are you from?’
26 Linu ka mu wambe, 'Tuvali ni ku nywa havusu bwako mi uva ruti mu makululu etu,
then you will begin by saying, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 linu ketave nati, niti kwenu, kani mizi ku mu kazwila. Muzwe kwa ngu, Inwe mutenda zivi.
But he will say: ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 Ka valile ni ku kwenga meeno, chi va vona Abrahama, Isaaka, ni, Jakobo ni vonse va polofita mu muvuso we Reeza,
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves being thrown out.
29 Linu inwe - inwe ka mu zindilwe hanze. Ka vasike kuzwililila ku vuzwe, ku vwimino, upa ni mbowela, ni kwi kala he ntafule mu vuso we Reeeza.
They will even come from the east, the west, the north and the south, and recline in the Kingdom of God.
30 Mwizive izi, va ma manikizo kava ve ventanzi, ventanzi kavave va ma manikizo.
Yes indeed, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
31 Che nakozana Vafarisi chiveza mi chivati kwali, “Yende mi wikale kunu kakuti Heroda usaka ku kwi haya.
On that same day some Pharisees approached saying to Him, “Get out of here and go away, because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Jesu chati, Muyende mi mu ka wambile zuna Luwawa, “vone, ni zwisa madimona, ni kuhoza va lwala sunu, ni zona ni lya vutatu ni sika ku mamani a musevezi wangu.'
He said to them: “Go tell that ‘fox’, ‘Take note, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third I will be perfected.’
33 Linu ni hakuva vulyo, kuni swanela ku zwila havusu lya sunu, sina haku sa zumi ninwe kwi haya mupolofita kule ni Jerusalema.
Nevertheless I must keep going today and tomorrow and the day following, because it is not credible that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem!
34 Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wi haya va polofita ni kuva zinda mavwe avo vava tuminwa kwenu. Chini lakaza ku kunganya vaana venu sina uvu inkuku ikunganya vaana vayo mu mavando, kono ka mu lakazi vulyo.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 Voone, inzuvo yako ikendetwe. Ni wamba kwako, kete uni vone konji chi wati,' Imbuyoti nji yozo yo keza mwi zina lya Simwine Reeza.”
So then, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you that you will definitely not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
