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 the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate 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?
Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these 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.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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 think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell 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 in the same way.”
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.
He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking 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?'
He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
8 Mulimi, ne tava nati, 'Mu siye vulo, chinu chilimo, nili, limine ni ku livika mununo.
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
9 Heva mu livike, zi, hantu, chilimo chi keza, ku lotu, linu, heva ka liviki, mu liteme liwe.'”
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 Linu, Jesu avali ku ruta mwi Sinagoge, le nsavata.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
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.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Linu, Jesu nga amu vona, ava sumpi kwali nati, “Mwanakazi, niti, chi wa sumununwa ku manyando ako.
When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13 Cha vika manza heulu lya kwe, mi chenako yonke, cha oloka mi chatemba Ireeza.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified 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.
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and 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?
Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him 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?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage 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.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Linu, Jesu chati, muvuso we Reeza wina vule? Imi ka ni u vambaye ni chi?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? 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 mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
20 Hape chati, “Kani uvambanye nichi muvuso we Reeza?
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
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, which a woman took and hid in 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 went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and travelling on to Jerusalem.
23 Zumwi chati kwali, “Simwine, na vache feela vantu vete vapuluswe?” Cwale cha wamba kuvali,
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” 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.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will 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 has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 Linu ka mu wambe, 'Tuvali ni ku nywa havusu bwako mi uva ruti mu makululu etu,
Then you will begin to say, ‘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.
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come 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 and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
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 come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 Mwizive izi, va ma manikizo kava ve ventanzi, ventanzi kavave va ma manikizo.
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who 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 came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for 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 and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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 go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would 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, you 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 own brood under her wings, and you refused!
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, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
