Lukka 13
1 Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abategeeza Yesu nga Piraato bwe yatta Abagaliraaya, omusaayi gwabwe n’agutabula mu biweebwayo byabwe.
Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.
2 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulowooza nti Abagaliraaya abo baali boonoonyi nnyo okusinga Abagaliraaya abalala bonna, balyoke baboneebone batyo?
And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?
3 Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe mugenda kuzikirira ng’abo bwe baazikirira.
No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.
4 Ate bali ekkumi n’omunaana omunaala gwa Sirowamu be gwagwako, ne gubatta, mulowooza be baali basinga obwonoonyi okusinga abantu abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi bonna?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe bwe mugenda okuzikirira bwe mutyo.”
No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
6 Awo Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyasimba omutiini mu nnimiro ye. N’agendangayo okugulambula okulaba obanga gubazeeko ebibala, n’asanga nga tegubazeeko kibala na kimu.
And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find [any].
7 Kyeyava alagira omusajja we amulimira ennimiro eyo nti, ‘Omuti guno gutemewo. Kubanga gino emyaka esatu nga nambula omuti guno, naye tegubalangako kibala na kimu. Gwemalira bwereere ettaka lyaffe.’
And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?
8 Omulimi we n’addamu nti, ‘Mukama wange, tuguleke tetugutemawo. Ka tuguweeyo omwaka gumu, nzija kugutemeratemera era nguteekeko n’ebigimusa.
But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,
9 Bwe gulibala ebibala gye bujja, kiriba kirungi! Naye bwe gutalibala, olwo noolyoka ogutemawo.’”
and if it shall bear fruit — but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Awo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti Yesu yali ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro,
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 ne wabaawo omukazi eyaliko omuzimu ogwamulwaza okumala emyaka kkumi na munaana, nga yeewese emirundi ebiri era nga tasobola kwegolola.
And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.
12 Yesu n’amulaba, n’amuyita n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu, owonyezeddwa obulwadde bwo.”
And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 N’amukwatako. Amangwago omukazi ne yeegolola n’ayimirira bulungi, n’atendereza Katonda!
And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Naye omukulembeze w’ekkuŋŋaaniro eryo n’anyiiga nnyo, kubanga Yesu yawonya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. N’agamba ekibiina nti, “Mu wiiki mulimu ennaku mukaaga, muyinza okujjanga mu nnaku ezo ne muwonyezebwa, naye so si ku Ssabbiiti!”
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which [people] ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 Mukama waffe n’amuddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Buli omu ku mmwe tasumulula nte ye oba ndogoyi ye ku Ssabbiiti n’agitwala okunywa amazzi?
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?
16 Naye si kituufu omukazi ono, muwala wa Ibulayimu, okusumululwa ku Ssabbiiti mu busibe bwa Setaani bw’amazeemu emyaka ekkumi n’omunaana?”
And this [woman], who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 Bwe yayogera bw’atyo abaali bamuwakanya bonna ne baswala, naye ekibiina ky’abantu bonna ne bajjula essanyu olw’ebintu eby’ekitalo bye yakola.
And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.
18 Awo Yesu kyeyava abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bufaanana na ki? Mbugeraageranye na ki?
And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
19 Bufaanana na kaweke ka kaladaali omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro ye. Kaamera ne kavaamu omuti, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga ne zituula ku matabi gaagwo.”
It is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.
20 Ate era n’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda mbugeraageranye na ki?
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Buliŋŋanga ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yatabulira mu bipimo by’obuwunga bisatu okutuusa obuwunga bwonna lwe bwazimbulukuka.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.
22 Awo Yesu n’ayita mu bibuga ne mu bubuga; yagendanga ayigiriza ng’ali ku lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi.
And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.
23 Ne wabaawo eyeewuunya nti, “Mukama waffe, abantu abalirokolebwa nga baliba batono?” Yesu n’addamu nti,
And one said to him, Sir, [are] such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,
24 “Mufube okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda kubanga mbagamba nti, bangi balyagala okuyingira naye tebalisobola.
Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
25 Nannyinimu bw’alisituka n’aggalawo oluggi, mugenda kubeera bweru nga mukonkona nga bwe mwegayirira nti, ‘Mukama waffe, tuggulirewo.’ Agenda kubaanukula nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo.’
From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Nammwe muliddamu nti, ‘Twalyanga naawe era twanywanga ffenna, era wayigirizanga mu nguudo z’ewaffe.’
then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten in thy presence and drunk, and thou hast taught in our streets;
27 Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo. Munviire mwenna abakozi b’ebitali bya bituukirivu.’
and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.
28 Era waliba okukuba ebiwoobe n’okuluma obujiji bwe muliraba Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo ne bannabbi bonna nga bali mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda, naye nga mmwe musuulibbwa ebweru.
There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out.
29 Kubanga abantu baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, ne bava ne mu bukiikakkono ne mu bukiikaddyo, ne batuula ku mmeeza mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Era laba, abooluvannyuma baliba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye baliba abooluvannyuma.”
And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
31 Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abamu ku Bafalisaayo abajja eri Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Tambula ove wano, kubanga Kerode ayagala kukutta.”
The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.
32 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mugambe ekibe ekyo nti laba ngoba baddayimooni, n’okuwonya abalwadde, leero, n’enkya, era ku lunaku olwokusatu ndimaliriza.
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected;
33 Naye leero, n’enkya, ne luli nsaana mbeere ku lugendo lwange nga ntambula, kubanga tekisoboka nnabbi okufiira ebweru wa Yerusaalemi!
but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 “Ggwe Yerusaalemi, ggwe Yerusaalemi, atta bannabbi, n’okuba amayinja abo ababa batumiddwa gy’oli, emirundi nga mingi nnyo gye njagadde okukuŋŋaanya abaana bo ng’enkoko bw’ekuŋŋaanya obwana bwayo mu biwaawaatiro byayo, naye n’ogaana!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
35 Kale laba ennyumba yammwe erekeddwa awo. Era mbagamba nti temugenda kuddayo kundaba okutuusa ekiseera lwe kirituuka ne mugamba nti, ‘Aweereddwa omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.’”
Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.
