Luka 7
1 Baada ya Yesu yomwa kila kilebe chabile kakibaya kwa bandu babampekaniyage, ajingii Karpenaumu.
And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
2 Mmanda pulani ywa akida, ywabile ywa thamani muno kake, abile ntamwe muno ni abile karibu na waa.
and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3 Lakini ayowine usu Yesu, yolo akida antumite kiongozi wa kiyahudi, kunnoba aiche kunkombwa mmanda wake linga kanaawe.
and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
4 Pabaikite papipi ni Yesu, batikunnoba kweli ni baya, “andastahili upalikwa panga nya kwaajili yake,
And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
5 Kwasababu andakulipenda taifa litu, ni ywanjengite sinagogi kwaajili yitu.”
for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
6 Yesu ayendeli ni safari yake pamope nakwe, lakini kabla anaika kwaa kuutalu ni nnyumba, afisa yumo aatumite mambwiga bake longela nakwe, “Ngwana, kana uuchoshe wa mwene kwasababu ya nenga nistahili kwa wenga jingya mu dari yangu.
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
7 Kwasababu yino nifikilie kwa hata nenga namwene panga nenda pwaika icha kwako, lakini ubaye lineno tu ni mmanda wango apapona.
wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;
8 Kwani nenga na mundu wanibile pa mamlaka na nibii ni askari pae yango, abaya kwa yuu 'Yenda” ni andayenda, ni kwa ywenge 'Icha” ni andaicha ni mtumishi wango “upange nyaa” ni ywembe andapanga.
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].'
9 Yesu payowine haga atichangala ni kubagalambukiya makutano bababile kabankengama ni baya, “Nindawabakiya hata mu'Isreali, nabona kwa mundu mwene imani kolo kati yolo.
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
10 Boka po balo babatumilwe babuyangine kaya ni kunkolya mtumishi abile nkoto.
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 Pulani baada ya haga, yapitike kuwa Yesu ende safiri yenda kilambo che nge chakemelwa Naini. Benepunzi bake bayeyi pamope nakwe bakengimine na bandu banyansima.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
12 Paikite papipii ni nnyango wa kilambo linga, mundu ywa wile abile apotwilwe ni nga mwana yumo kwa mao ywake. ywabile mnomelanga, ni umati wa akilishi buka pa kilambo bai pamope ni ywembe.
and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13 Pamweni Ngwana atikumwegeleya kwa rwangu muno husu ywembe ni kummakia “kana ulile”
And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'
14 Nga egelya nnonge ni kukungwa lijeneza bababutulile maiti ni balo babaputwike batiyimaaa ngaabaya “wenga wa kijana uyumuke.”
and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
15 Ywa awile ngakakatuka ni tama kitako ni tumbwa longela. Boka po Yesu kampea ywa mwana kwa mao bake.
and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
16 Boka po hofu ibajingile boti, bayendeli kumtukuza Nnongo bende baya “Nabii nkolo alikakatulwa nkati yitu” ni “Nnongo alingite bandu bake.”
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon His people.'
17 Hayii habari inanoga ya Yesu yatienea Yudea yoti ni kwa mikoa yoti ya jirani.
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
18 Benepunzi ba Yohana bammakiye mambo goti haga.
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
19 Ndipo Yohana ngaa ankema abeli nkati ya Benepunzi bake ni kubatuma kwa Ngwana baya “wenga yulo ywa icha, au kuna mundu ywenge tumnende?
and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
20 Bapaikite karibu ni Yesu aba payite Yohana mbatizaji atitumite kwako baya, “wenga nga yolo au kui na mundu ywenge tumnende?
And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
21 Kwa wakati woo aaponyike bandu banyansima buka nkati ya matamwe ni mateso, buka kwa nchela, ni kwa bandu ipofu apeile bona.
And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22 Yesu ayangwine baya kwabe, “Baada ya n'yei kwa mwokite mkammakiye Yohana chamkibweni ni kukiyoa. Babile ipofu bapokya bona ni iwete banda tyanga, bene ukoma banda pona, iziwi banda yoa, babawile banda yuka ni panga akolo kai, bangali ni kilebe aabakiya habari inanoga.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23 Ni mundu ywaleka kwaa kuniamini nenga kwa sababu ya matendo gango abalikilwe.”
and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
24 Baada ya balo babatumilwe ni Yohana buyangana kwaba bukite Yesu nga tumbwe longela na bandu husu Yohana, “Mwayei panja bona namani, nnai wautikatika ni mchunga?
And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
25 Lakini mwayei panja bona namani, mundu ywa weti vizuri? linga bandu balo babawala ngubo ya kifalme ni ishi maisha ga staree babile bene nafasi ya kifalme.
but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 Lakini nn'yenda panja bona namani, Nabii? Elo, nenda baya kwinu na muno kuliko nabii.
'But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 Uyu ngaba ywaandikilwe, linga nenda kutuma mjumbe wango nnongi ya minyo yinu, ywapala andaa ndila kwaajili yango,
this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28 Mbayaa kwinu, kati ya balo bababelekwile ni nnwawa, ntopo nkolo kati Yohana, lakini mundu ywangali muhimu muno nga ywaa lama ni Nnongo mahali pabile ywembe, apanga nkolo kuliko Yohana.”
for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'
29 Ni bandu boti pabayowine haga pamope ni babatosage ushuru, batitangaza Nnongo nga mwene haki. Babile kati yabe babatizilwe kwa ubatizo wa Yohana.
And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
30 Lakini mafarisayo ni bataalamu ba saliya ya kiyahudi amabbo babatizilwe ni ywembe batikana hekima ya Nnongo kwaajili yabe bene.
but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 Kai mbaweza linganisha mwenga ni namani bandu ba kizazi cheno? Bai kitiwi?
And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 Balingana ni bana babang'anda pasoko, babatama ni kemana yumo baada ya ywenge kababaya,'tuliyula filimbi kwaajili yinu, ni mng'andike kwaa, twatilombola mlelite kwaa.”
they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
33 Yohana mbatizaji aichile alile kwaa nkate wala anywile kwa lilogwa, ni mmayite, “Aina mashetani.
'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;
34 Mwana wa mundu aichile alile ni ywa ni mmayite linga aina choyo ni nnevi, limbwiga ni babatosa ushuru ni bene sambi.
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 Lakini hekima bakwipwile kuwa ibile ni haki kwa bana bake boti.”
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
36 Yumo ywa balo, afarisayo anobite ayende akalye nakwe. Baada ya Yesu jingya munyumba ya mafarisayo, alindikii meza linga alye.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
37 Linga abi na nnwawa katika kilambo chilo abi ni sambi. Akwipwile kuwa atamii kwa farisayo, alelike chupa ya mauta gananungya.
and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38 Ayemi nchungu yake karibu ni maghulu gake kuno kalela. Kae atumbwi tepengaya maghulu kwa nywili ya mutwe wakeni kuipakalaya mauta gananungya.
and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39 Ni yulo farisayo ywa nkokiti Yesu pamweni nyoo, awechike mwene abayite, mana mundu yuu apanga nabii, apendaga hayu nyai ni nnwawa wa namna gani ywa mkunywa, ya panga mwene sambi.
And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'
40 Yesu atin'yangwa ni kum'makiya, “Simoni nibiina kikowe cha kukubakiya.” Abayite, “kibaye bai mwalimu”
And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
41 Yesu abayite, “pabii ni alongelwa abile ba kopite kwa mundu yumo. Yumo abi kadaiwa dinari mia tano ni wene ibele adaiwa dinari hamsini.
'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
42 Ni pabile ntopo ela ya kunnepa atikuwasameya boti. Tubwe ywakuywa mpenda muno?
and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
43 Simoni ati kunn'yangwa “mbona ywa nyansima. Yesu amakiya uukumu sawasawa.”
And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
44 Yesu nga ngalabukya mnwawa ni baya kwa Simoni, “Wandamwona uyu nnwawa. Nijingii munyumba yako. Umbei kwaa machi kwa ajili ya magulu gangu, lakini huyu, kwa morii gake ateoengiye magulu gangu ni kugafula kwa nywili yake.
And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
45 Huninonii kwaa, lakini ywembe, tangu panjiyite muno alekite kwaa kuninoniya magulu gangu.
a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
46 Huipakiye kwaa magulu gangu mauta, lakini aipakiye magulu gangu mauta gananungya.
with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
47 Kwa jambo lee, nenda kubakia kwamba abe ni sambi zanyansima ni ninsamilie muno, ni kai atipenda muno, lakini ywasamehelwa pachini apendike pachini tu.”
therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
48 Baadaye aamakiye nnwawa, “sambi yako ichamiilwe.”
And he said to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
49 Balo babatami pameza pamope nakwe ngabatumbwa longela bene kwa bene, “Aywa nyai mpaka ansamii sambi?”
and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
50 Ni Yesu amakiye nnwawa imani yako ikukombwile, Uyende kwa amani.”
and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
