Luka 7
1 Kuzwa Jesu hamana zonse zabali kuwamba bantu nibazuwile, nakenjila mwaKapenauma.
Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 Linu muyenzi wachisole abena muhikana yabali kusunwa hahulu kwali, mi abali kulwala ni kusaka kufwa.
whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready to die;
3 Muyenzi wachisole nanga zuwa za Jesu, natumina kwali bakulwana ba Majuda, kumukumbila kuti eze njamuhozeze muhikana wakwe.
and having heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.
4 Habati chibasika kwa Jesu, ni bamukumbila chakukakanina, ni bati, “Uyelele kuti umutendele bulyo,
And when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:
5 mukuti usaka chisi chetu, imi njabatuzakili masinagoge etu.”
for he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue.
6 Chobulyo Jesu nazwila habusu munzila yakwe nabo. Hati chotumbatumba henzuvo, muyezi wachisole abatumini balikani bakwe kukamuwambila kuti, Simwine, usiye ulikatazi, kakuli kaniyelele kuti iwe winjile munzuvo yangu.
So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:
7 Chelyo ibaka kanilihindi kuti niyelele kwiza kwako, kono uwambe bulyo inzwi mi muhikanangu kahole.
neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.
8 Mukuti ime name ni muntu wina mwikonde lamulao, ni masole ni bena mwikonde lyangu. Niwambila umwina, 'Yende', mi uyenda, imi kuumwi, 'Wiize', mi wiiza, imi kumuhikanangu, 'Tende ichi', mi uchitenda.”
For I also am a man placed under the authority of others, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
9 Imi Jesu hazuwa bulyo, namukomukwa, mi nasandukila kuchisi chibamuichilile nati, “Nimicho kuti, mane nangati mwaIsilaele kananibeni kuwanika itumelo ina bulyo.”
And when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 Imi linu bana babatumitwe habakabola kunzuvo, nibeza kuwana kuti muhikana chaba nenza.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
11 Izo hazimana kutendahala, Jesu abayendi kwitolopo isupwa Naine, mi barutwana bakwe ni chisi ni bayenda naye.
And the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
12 Habali kutumbatumba hamenjililo etolopo, mi hamulole, muntu yofwile abahinditwe, mwana wamuswisu umwina bulyo wanyina (yabafwamini), mi chisi chingi chizwa mwitolopo chibena naye.
and as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.
13 Imi Simwine hamubona, abamufwili maswe inse, imi abawambi kwali nati, “Sanzi ulili.”
And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.
14 Kuzwaho nichaya kwateni ni kukakwata kuzisamu hababahindile chitumbi, imi babachihindite nibazimana. Nichati, “Murombwana, nikucho kuti, buke.”
And He came up and touched the bier, (and the bearers stopped, ) and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise.
15 Yofwile nekala ni kutanga kuwamba, mi Jesu namutambika kubanyina.
And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered him to his mother.
16 Linu insabo ni chiyabawila bonse, imi chibazwira habusu kubabaza Ireeza, nibati, “Mupolofita yomaniniza ababuswa mukati ketu,” mi “Ireeza abaloli hewulu labantu bakwe.”
And an awe seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet is risen up among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 Iyi indaba ya Jesu ibahasani mwaJudea yonse ni zikiliti zonse zibambene nanyo.
And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 Barutwana ba Johani babamuwambili izi zintu zonse.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
19 Kuzwaho Johani nasupa bobele babarutwna bakwe ni kubatumina kwaSimwine nibakati, “Kana nguwe yoswanela kwiza, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”
and sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?
20 Heti chibasika hafwihi ni Jesu, bakwame nibati, “Johani Mukolobezi wakatutuma kwako zetu kuti, 'kana nguwe yokezite, nandi tuswanela kulola zumwi?”'
And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?
21 Mweyo inako Jesu abahozi bantu bangi mumalwalila abo ni mumasukuluko abo ni mwihuho imbilala, imi ni kubahofu bangi ababahi kubona.
(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)
22 Jesu nabetaba nabacho, “Heti chimwamana kuyenda musipili wenu, mukabihe kwa Johani chimubaboni ni kuzuwa. Bantu babahofu babahewa kubona, ziyanga zibatangi kuyenda, bachisenda babanjolozwa, basusu chibasuwa, bantu bafwile bababuswa ni kuhala, mi bahumanehi bawambilwa indava indotu.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,
23 Muntu yasasiyi kuzumina kwangu chebaka lazitendantu zangu utohonolofezwe.”
and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing in me.
24 Kumasule abatumwa ba Johani heti chibayenda, Jesu natanga kuwambila zisi kaza Johani. “Chinzi chobayendi kukabona mwihalaupa? Luhe lunyanganyiswa luhuho.
When the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John, what went ye out into the wilderness to see?
25 Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mukwame yozabele zizabalo zinolonolo? Lole, bazabala zizabalo zimaniniza ni bahala mumbombolelwa bena muzibaka zibasimwine.
a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?
26 Linu chinzi chobayendi kukabona? Mupolofita na? Eee, niwamba kwenu, ni kuhitilila mupolofita.
a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Uzu njiyena uzo zakwe ziñoletwe, 'Hamulole, nitumina mutuminwa wangu mubusu bwako, Yeti nalukise inzila yako noseni kusika.'
This is he of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
28 Niwamba kwenu, mukati kababahwizumukwa kumwanakazi kakwina mukando kuhita Johani. Nihakubabulyo umwina yomaniniza kubunini mupuso ya Ireeza mukando kumuhita.”
for I tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he: )
29 Bantu bonse habazuwa ichi, kuhindilila batelisa, bababonisi kushiyama kwa Ireeza, chakukolobezwa chekolobezo ya Johani.
---and all the people that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 Linu Bafalisi ni baluti babamaninizi bamulao wa chiJuda babakani zamulero weze Ireeza kuamana navo, mukuti kana babakolobezwa kwa Johani.
but the pharisees indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---
31 “Kuchinzi, linu, kuniwola kubambanya bantu bounu murahi? Bakola sina chizi?
Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation?
32 Bakola sina bahwile bakwete bazanina henkanza, bekala ni kulinsupa ni bati, “Tubamilizizi impeta, kono kanamubazani. Tubamizimbili izimbo zenjinjo, mi kana mubasilisi.'
and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones and ye have not wept:"
33 Mukuti Johani Mukolobezi abezi nasaali inkonko ni kusanywa iwaine, muwamba kuti, 'Wina idimona.'
for John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath a demon:
34 Mwana Muntu abezi nalya ni kunywa, imi muti, “Mulole, nji shazilyo ni chidakwa, mulikani wabatelisa ni batendi bazive!'
the Son of man is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Kono butali buzumininwe ni bana bakwe bonse.”
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 Lyahanu umwina wa Bafalisi na mema Jesu kukalya naye. Linu Jesu hamana kwinjila munzuvo ya Mufalisi, nekala hetafule kulya.
And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.
37 Mi hamulole, kubena mwanakazi mumuleneñi, yabali mutendi wachive. Hazuwa kuti Jesu wina munzuvo ya Mufalisi hetafule, abaleti ijaki ye alabbasitera mwina ioili inunka nenza.
And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
38 Nazimene kumasule akwe hembali ni matende akwe, nalila, natanga kubombisa matende akwe ni zisonzi zakwe, imi nazisinda ni insuki zamutwi wakwe mi nachuchuna matende akwe ni kwasinga ni oili inuka nenza.
brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Mufalisi yabamemete Jesu habona bulyo, nahupula munkulo yakwe, nati, kambe uzu mukwame mupolofita, hanu neziba kuti njeni ni kuti mwanakazi wamufuta nzi yomukwete, mukuti mutendi wachive.”
But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.
40 Jesu namwitaba nati, “Simoni, nina chinisaka kuwamba kwako.” Nati, “Chiwambe, Muruti!”
And Jesus said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)
41 Jesu nati, “Mukolotisi zumwi wamasheleñi abena bakoloti bobele. Umwina nakolota ipondo zichita myanda imana iyanza, imi zumwi niyaba makumi amana iyanza.
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, and the other fifty:
42 Imi habakangwa kumuliha, nabaswalela bonse. Cheyo inzila, njeni kubali yeti amusake chakumaniniza?”
and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simoni abamwitabi nati, “Nihupula kuti njozuna yabaswalelwa kukando.” Jesu namuti, “Waatula nenza.”
And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged:
44 Jesu abasandukili kumwanakazi ni kuwambila Simoni, “Ubwene uzu mwanakazi. Nibenjili munzuvo yako. Kana ubanihi menzi amatende angu, kono iye wabombisa matende angu ni zinsonzi zakwe ni kuzisinda ni insuki zakwe.
and turning to the woman, He said to Simon, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Iwe kana ubanichuchuni, kono iye kuzwa henako yinitanga kwiiza kasiite kuchuchuna matende angu.
Thou gavest me not the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Kana ubetili ioili hamutwi wangu, kono iye abetili matende angu ni ioili inunka bulotu.
Thou didst not anoint my head with common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet ointment.
47 Chobulyo niti kwako, zive zakwe, zibali zingi, chizaswalelwa ¬ mukuti watondeza kusuna kukando. Kono iye yoswalelwa halikene, usuna halikene.
Wherefore, I tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.
48 Linu abati kwali, “Zive zako zaswalelwa.”
And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Babekele hamwina nibatanga kuambola mukati kabo, “Njeni uzu yoti uwola nanga kuswalela zive?”
And they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 Kuzwaho Jesu nichati kumwanakazi. “Itumelo yako yakuhaza. Yende chekozo.”
But He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
