Lukka 13
1 Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abategeeza Yesu nga Piraato bwe yatta Abagaliraaya, omusaayi gwabwe n’agutabula mu biweebwayo byabwe.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulowooza nti Abagaliraaya abo baali boonoonyi nnyo okusinga Abagaliraaya abalala bonna, balyoke baboneebone batyo?
Yeshua answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe mugenda kuzikirira ng’abo bwe baazikirira.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Nedda! Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe bwe mugenda okuzikirira bwe mutyo.”
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
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.
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 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.’
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 Omulimi we n’addamu nti, ‘Mukama wange, tuguleke tetugutemawo. Ka tuguweeyo omwaka gumu, nzija kugutemeratemera era nguteekeko n’ebigimusa.
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 Bwe gulibala ebibala gye bujja, kiriba kirungi! Naye bwe gutalibala, olwo noolyoka ogutemawo.’”
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 Awo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti Yesu yali ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro,
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 ne wabaawo omukazi eyaliko omuzimu ogwamulwaza okumala emyaka kkumi na munaana, nga yeewese emirundi ebiri era nga tasobola kwegolola.
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 Yesu n’amulaba, n’amuyita n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu, owonyezeddwa obulwadde bwo.”
When Yeshua saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13 N’amukwatako. Amangwago omukazi ne yeegolola n’ayimirira bulungi, n’atendereza Katonda!
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up 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!”
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua 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 Mukama waffe n’amuddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Buli omu ku mmwe tasumulula nte ye oba ndogoyi ye ku Ssabbiiti n’agitwala okunywa amazzi?
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 Naye si kituufu omukazi ono, muwala wa Ibulayimu, okusumululwa ku Ssabbiiti mu busibe bwa Setaani bw’amazeemu emyaka ekkumi n’omunaana?”
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 Bwe yayogera bw’atyo abaali bamuwakanya bonna ne baswala, naye ekibiina ky’abantu bonna ne bajjula essanyu olw’ebintu eby’ekitalo bye yakola.
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 Awo Yesu kyeyava abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bufaanana na ki? Mbugeraageranye na ki?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare 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 put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
20 Ate era n’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda mbugeraageranye na ki?
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
21 Buliŋŋanga ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yatabulira mu bipimo by’obuwunga bisatu okutuusa obuwunga bwonna lwe bwazimbulukuka.”
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Awo Yesu n’ayita mu bibuga ne mu bubuga; yagendanga ayigiriza ng’ali ku lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Ne wabaawo eyeewuunya nti, “Mukama waffe, abantu abalirokolebwa nga baliba batono?” Yesu n’addamu nti,
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
24 “Mufube okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda kubanga mbagamba nti, bangi balyagala okuyingira naye tebalisobola.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell 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.’
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 Nammwe muliddamu nti, ‘Twalyanga naawe era twanywanga ffenna, era wayigirizanga mu nguudo z’ewaffe.’
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, ne gye muva simanyiiyo. Munviire mwenna abakozi b’ebitali bya bituukirivu.’
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you 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 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 Kubanga abantu baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, ne bava ne mu bukiikakkono ne mu bukiikaddyo, ne batuula ku mmeeza mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 Era laba, abooluvannyuma baliba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye baliba abooluvannyuma.”
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
31 Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo abamu ku Bafalisaayo abajja eri Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Tambula ove wano, kubanga Kerode ayagala kukutta.”
On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mugambe ekibe ekyo nti laba ngoba baddayimooni, n’okuwonya abalwadde, leero, n’enkya, era ku lunaku olwokusatu ndimaliriza.
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 Naye leero, n’enkya, ne luli nsaana mbeere ku lugendo lwange nga ntambula, kubanga tekisoboka nnabbi okufiira ebweru wa Yerusaalemi!
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 “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, 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 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 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!’”
