Luka 7
1 Yesu peamali kujova ago kwa vandu akahamba ku Kapelanaumu.
And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Kwenuko kwavili na mkulu mmonga wa vandu va ngondo va ku Loma, mwenuyo avi na mtumisi, mweamyidikili neju mwealwala mulung'olelu.
And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
3 Mkulu yula wa Loma peayuwini mambu ga Yesu, akavatuma vagogo vangi va Vayawudi vakamuyupayi abwela kumulamisa mtumisi waki.
and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
4 Pevahikili kwa Yesu, vakamjovela, “pepayi bambu, mundu mwenuyu, yitakiwa atangatiwayi.
But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
5 Ndava mwenuyu akuvagana vandu vitu, kangi ndi mweatijengili nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.”
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6 Ndi Yesu akahamba nawu. Pavahegalili pa nyumba ya mkulu yula, ndi mkulu akavatuma vankozi vaki vakamjovelayi Yesu, “Bambu, kotoka kujing'aha. Muni nene nakujiwona ngati nabwina hati veve kuyingila mumyumba yangu,
And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7 Kangi, nikajiweni nabwina lepi, nene kubwela kwa veve. Nambu jovayi ngalilovi na mtumisi wangu yati ilama.
Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
8 Ndava muni nene mewa, mundu mwenivikiwi pahi ya uhotola wa vakulu vangu nivi na manjolinjoli, nikamjovelayi mmonga, ‘Hambayi!’ Ihamba, nikamjovela yungi, ‘Bwelayi!’ Na mwene ibwela, Nikamjovelayi na mvanda wangu, ‘Kita naha!’ Namwene ikita.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
9 Yesu akakangasa paayuwini genago, akaung'anamukila msambi wa vandu wewamlandali, akavajovela, “Niloli lepi sadika yivaha ngati iyi hati pagati ya vandu va Isilaeli!”
And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
10 Ndi vandu vala pavawuyili kunyumba vakamkolela mtumisi yula alamili.
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
11 Chilau yaki, Yesu akahamba kumuji umonga weukemelewa Naini, na vawuliwa vaki pamonga na msambi wa vandu ukalongosana nayu.
And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12 Ndi pavahegalili papipi na mlyangu mkulu wa muji, vakakonganeka na vandu vavagegili mtuhi wa msongolo mmonga, mwana yuyoyo ndu wa lipwela. Vandu vamahele va pamuji wenuwo vavi pamonga na mau mwenuyo.
And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
13 Bambu Yesu paamuweni mau yula, akamhengela lipyana akamjovela, “Kotoka kuvemba.”
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
14 Kangi Yesu akahamba na kupamisa lusongwani chavagegili mtuhi na vavagegili vala vakayima. Akajova, “Wamsongolo veve! Nijova yimuka!”
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15 Mweafwi yula akayima akatumbula kulongela. Yesu akampela mau yula mwana waki.
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Ndi vandu voha vakavya na wogohi, vakatumbula kumulumbalila Chapanga. Vakajova, “Mlota mkulu wa Chapanga atihumali pagati yitu, Chapanga abwelili kuvatangila vandu vaki.”
And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
17 Mambu genago gakadandasika pamulima woha wa Yudea na milima yoha yeyavi papipi.
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
18 Vawuliwa vaki Yohani pevamjovili mambu goha. Ndi akavakemela vawuliwa vavili,
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
19 akavatuma kwa Bambu vakamkotayi, “Veve ndi msangula mweibwela, amala timulindila yungi?”
and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
20 Pavahikili kwa Yesu, vakamjovela, “Yohani Mbatizaji atitumili tikukotayi, ngati veve ndi msangula mweibwela, amala timlindila yungi.”
But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
21 Lukumbi lwenulo vamkoli Yesu avalamisayi vandu vamahele vevavi na matamu na vana mizuka yihakau akayiwusa, na vangalola vamahele akavakita kulola.
In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22 Ndi akavajovela muhamba mukamjovela Yohani goha gemugaweni na kuyuwana. Vangalola vilola, vangagenda vigenda, vanamabudi vinyambiswa, vangayuwa viyuwana, vavafwili vihyukiswa, na vangangu vikokosewa Lilovi la Bwina.
And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
23 Ahekayi mundu yula mweangayoma ndava ya nene!
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 Vajumbi va Yohani vala pavawukili, ndi Yesu akatumbula kuukota msambi wa vandu gakumuvala Yohani, “Pamwahambili kulugangatu kumlola Yohani, mwaganili kulola kiki? Wu, mwaholalili kumlola mundu mweavi ngati lidete lelinyuguswa na mpungu?
And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 Hinu, mwahambili kulola kiki? Mundu mwaawali nyula za nyililili? Vandu veviwala chakujinyambisa na kutama wumi wabwina, venavo vavi munyumba za vankosi.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
26 Munijovela chemukahambili kulola? Mlota wa Chapanga? Ena, chakaka kangi neju ya Mlota wa Chapanga.
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
27 Yohani mwenuyu ndi malovi gayandikiwi mu Mayandiku kumvala mwene, ‘Lola nene nikumtuma mjumbi wangu akulongolela, ndava ya kukukwalila njila yaku.’
This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28 Yesu akamalakisila kujova,” “Kawaka mundu, mweavelikiwi na mdala mkulu kuliku Yohani Mbatizaji. Nambu mweavi mdebe muunkosi wa Chapanga, mwenuyo ndi mkulu kuliku mwene.”
for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Vandu voha pamonga na vatola kodi vevabatiziwi na Yohani, pevayuwini genago, vakayidakila Chapanga ndi mchakaka.
(And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
30 Nambu Vafalisayu na vawula va Malagizu vala vevabatiziwi lepi na Yohani, ndi vabeli mpangu wa Chapanga ndava ya mambu gavi.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
31 Yesu akavajovela, “Chiveleku cha vandu ava kwali nivawanangisa na kyani? Vene vandu ava valingini na kiki?
To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 Vavi ngati vana vevatamii pandu pakugulisila vindu vikemelana, chikundi chimonga na chiyaki, ‘Tivabetili chitolilo nambu nyenye mwanga kina! Tivayimbili nyimbu za malilu nambu muvembi lepi!’
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 Yohani peabweli, ajihinisi chakulya wala kunywa divayi, mkamjova ‘Mwenuyu anamzuka!’
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 Mwana wa Mundu abwelili, ilya na kunywa, nyenye mujova, ‘Mumlola muhutulu na chigaligali uyu, nkozi wa vatola kodi na vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga!’
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 Nambu luhala lwa Chapanga lulangisa, yakuvya chakaka kwa voha vevakuluyidakila.”
and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
36 Mfalisayu mmonga amgongolili Yesu kulya panyumba yaki. Akayingila munyumba ya Mfalisayu yula na kutama kulya.
But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
37 Ndi pamuji wenuwo avi mdala mmonga wumi waki atamayi kumbudila Chapanga. Akayuwana Yesu avili munyumba ya Mfalisayu uyu, ndi akatola chupa yeyahongoliwi kwa liganga la alabasta yeyavi na mahuta ga kunungalila bwina.
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 Akayima papipi na magendelu ga Yesu kuni avembayi, na maholi gaki gamudonyokela Yesu mumagendelu, akahungula magendelu ga Yesu na mayunju gaki, akagabusu magendelu gala na kunyala mahuta genago.
and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
39 Mfalisayu mweamugongolili Yesu pealoli genago akaholalela mumtima waki, “Mwe mundu uyu ngaavi chakaka mlota wa Chapanga, ngaammanyi mdala mweampamisi, kuvya mweakumbudila Chapanga!”
And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
40 Yesu akamjovela mfalisayu yula. “Simoni, chivii chindu chenigana kukujovela.” Simoni, akamyangula, “Ena muwula, jovayi.”
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
41 Yesu akajova, “Vandu vavili vamuyahiki mundu mashonga. Mmonga ayayiki mashonga ga luhuna lwa mwaka umonga na miheyi sita na yungi ayaiki mashonga ga luhuna lwa mwehi umonga na majuma gavili.
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42 Voha vavili vavilepi na mashonga ga kuwuyisa, mundu yula avahulumili voha. Hinu yani mweakumugana neju bambu yula?”
but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simoni akamyangula, “Chakaka mweahulumiwi mashonga ga mahele yula alamugana neju bambu yula.” Yesu akamjovela, “Uhamwili chabwina.”
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Kangi akamng'anamukila mdala yula na akamjovela Simoni, “Umlola mdala uyu? Penikayingili munyumba yaku unipeli lepi manji gakusamba mumagendelu gangu, nambu mdala uyu anitepatisi magendelu gangu na maholi gaki na kuhungula na mayunju gaki.
And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Penikayingili unikemili lepi chakunibusu mulitama, nambu mdala uyu kutumbula panakayingila hakotwiki lepi kunijambusa cha kunibusu litama laki mumagendelu gangu.
Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
46 Uninyalili lepi mahuta ga zeituni kumutu veve, nambu mdala uyu aninyalili mahuta geginungalila bwina mumagendelu gangu.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Nikukujovela, alekekisiwi kumbudila Chapanga pamahele ndava muni alangisi uganu uvaha. Nambu mundu mwealekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga padebe ilangisa uganu udebe.”
For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
48 Yesu akamjovela mdala yula, “Ulekekiswi goha geumbudili Chapanga.”
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Vandu vala vavatamili na Yesu pakulya pala, vakatumbula kukotana, “Mundu uyu ndi yani? Hati ihotola kulekekesa vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga?”
And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
50 Ndi Yesu akamjovela mdala yula, “Kusadika kwaku kukulamisi, uhamba na uteke.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
