Luka 13
1 Cheyo nako vantu vamwi vava mu wambili cha Magalileya avo, malaha, avo, a va kopanyi Pilato ni zitabelo zavo.
Now there were some present at that very season who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifies.
2 Jesu ave tabi nati ku vali, Linu muhupula kuti avo Magalileya vena zivi zingi kuhita Magalileya vonse vava nyandiswa che nzila iyi?
"Do you suppose," he answered them, "that those Galileans were worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered thus?
3 Nanta, ni mi wambila. Niti, heva ni mu sa lisa lichuli zivi zenu muvonse mo mufwe munzila iswana.
"I tell you no; 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 in Siloam fell and killed them, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than the rest of those who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Nanta, niti kwenu, heva ni musa lichuli zivi zenu mu vonse momu fwe.
"I tell you no; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did."
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 gave them this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came to look for fruit on it, but 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. "‘See, for years I have come looking for fruit on this tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why should it actually cumber the ground?’
8 Mulimi, ne tava nati, 'Mu siye vulo, chinu chilimo, nili, limine ni ku livika mununo.
"But the gardener answered him. ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, till I have dug around it, and fertilized it.
9 Heva mu livike, zi, hantu, chilimo chi keza, ku lotu, linu, heva ka liviki, mu liteme liwe.'”
"If after that it bears fruit, well and good; but if not you shall cut it down.’"
10 Linu, Jesu avali ku ruta mwi Sinagoge, le nsavata.
Once he 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.
a woman was present who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. she was bent double, and could not lift herself up at all.
12 Linu, Jesu nga amu vona, ava sumpi kwali nati, “Mwanakazi, niti, chi wa sumununwa ku manyando ako.
Jesus noticed her and called to him and said, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 Cha vika manza heulu lya kwe, mi chenako yonke, cha oloka mi chatemba Ireeza.
Then he placed his hand on her, and she instantly stood upright and began to give glory to 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 was indignant at Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath, and said to the crowd. "There are six days of the week on which men ought to work. Therefore come during those, and get cured, but not on the Sabbath Day."
15 Ireeza na mwi tava nati, Inwe mulihele kana kete musumunune imbongolo kapa Iñombe kuitwala ku kunywa menzi le nsavata?
But the Lord answered him. "Hypocrites!" he said, "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day, and lead it 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?
"and this woman, who is the daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these eighteen years, ought she not have been loosened from bondage, though the day be the Sabbath?"
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.
As he said this, all adversaries were put to shame; and all the crowd rejoiced for the glorious things that he continually did.
18 Linu, Jesu chati, muvuso we Reeza wina vule? Imi ka ni u vambaye ni chi?
This led him to say. "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 grain of mustardseed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."
20 Hape chati, “Kani uvambanye nichi muvuso we Reeza?
And again he said. "To what shall I liken 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 leaven which a took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."
22 Jesu ava poteli mileni ni minzi havena munzila kuya kwa jerusalema niku va ruta.
So he went on his way through cities and villages,
23 Zumwi chati kwali, “Simwine, na vache feela vantu vete vapuluswe?” Cwale cha wamba kuvali,
teaching as he journeyed toward Jerusalem. And a man came behind him and said, "Lord are there but few that are saved?"
24 Mu lwile kwinjila mu mulyango u kumbene, kakuti, niti kwenu, bungi mu vatavele kwi njila, kono kete va wole kwi njila.
"Struggle to enter in by the narrow door," he answered, "for I tell you that many will try to enter and not be able,
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 is risen up and has shut the door. You will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, crying, "‘Lord, open to us.’ "‘I do not know were you came from,’ he will reply.
26 Linu ka mu wambe, 'Tuvali ni ku nywa havusu bwako mi uva ruti mu makululu etu,
"Then you will begin saying, ‘But we have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’
27 linu ketave nati, niti kwenu, kani mizi ku mu kazwila. Muzwe kwa ngu, Inwe mutenda zivi.
"But he will answer. "‘I tell you I do not know were you came from;
28 Ka valile ni ku kwenga meeno, chi va vona Abrahama, Isaaka, ni, Jakobo ni vonse va polofita mu muvuso we Reeza,
"‘depart from me, all of you, you evil-doers.’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves cast 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.
"And people shall come from the Orient and from the Occident, from the north and from the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Mwizive izi, va ma manikizo kava ve ventanzi, ventanzi kavave va ma manikizo.
"And lo, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."
31 Che nakozana Vafarisi chiveza mi chivati kwali, “Yende mi wikale kunu kakuti Heroda usaka ku kwi haya.
That very day there came some Pharisees to him, saying, "Get out of here and go away, for Herod wishes 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.'
"Go, tell that fox," he answered, "‘Lo, today and tomorrow I am continuing to cast out demons and perform cures, and on the third day I finish my course.’
33 Linu ni hakuva vulyo, kuni swanela ku zwila havusu lya sunu, sina haku sa zumi ninwe kwi haya mupolofita kule ni Jerusalema.
"Yet I must continue my journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it would never do for a prophet to 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.
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
35 Voone, inzuvo yako ikendetwe. Ni wamba kwako, kete uni vone konji chi wati,' Imbuyoti nji yozo yo keza mwi zina lya Simwine Reeza.”
"Behold! Your house is left to you, desolate! I tell you that you shall never see me again until you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord,"
