Luka 13
1 Shipindi shilii wantu wamu yawaweriti palii wamgambiriti Yesu kwajili wantu wa Galilaya weni Pilatu kawalagiti pawaweriti wankulaviya tambiku kwa Mlungu.
There were present then some, who informed Jesus of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices.
2 Yesu kawakosiya, “Toziya wantu wa Galilaya wawalagiti kwa njira ilii, mlihola kuwera waweriti na vidoda kuliku wantu wa Galilaya wamonga?
Jesus answering, said to them, Do you think that these Galileans were the greatest sinners in all Galilee, because they suffered such usage?
3 Neni nonga, ndala! Nukugambirani kuwera handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.
I tell you, No: but unless you reform, you shall all likewise perish;
4 Ntambu gaa kwajili ya wantu lilongu na wanani wa Silowamu yawahowiti shipindi mnara paguwatulukiriti? Mlihola kuwera womberi waweriti wanavidoda kuliku wantu wamonga wawalikala Yerusalemu?
or, those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew them; do you think that they were the greatest profligates in Jerusalem?
5 Ndala! Nukugambirani mwenga, handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.”
I tell you, No: but unless you reform, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Su Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na muntu yumu, keniti na mtera gwa tini mulirambu lyakuwi. Kagenditi kwapa tini mumtera kumbiti kapata ndiri.
He also spoke this parable: A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
7 Su kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa lirambu, ‘Guloli, kwa mivinja mitatu paniza kwapa mabwajubwaju mumtera gwa tini, kumbiti nugawona ndiri. Gugudumuli! Toziya gumalira hera litapaka.’
Then he said to the vine-dresser, This is the third year that I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, without finding any. Cut it down: why should it cumber the ground?
8 Kumbiti ntumintumi kamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, guguleki huti kwa shinja shimu hera, hanugulimili na kugulekera mbotu.
He answered, Sir, let it alone one year longer till I dig about it, and manure it;
9 Pagulera mabwajubwaju shinja shankwiza, hayiherepi nentu, kumbiti pagulera ndiri su guweza kugudumula.’”
perhaps it will bear fruit: if not, you may afterward cut it down.
10 Yesu kaweriti munumba ya Mlungu mulishaka lya kwoyera pakafunda.
On the Sabbath, as he was teaching in a synagogue,
11 Palii peniti na mdala yakeniti na shamshera yakamtenda kalwali mivinja lilongu na nane, kaweriti na shibyongu ata kasinditi kugoloka.
a woman was present, who, for eighteen years, had a spirit of infirmity, by which she was so bowed down that she could not so much as look up.
12 Yesu pakamwoniti kamshema, “Mawu, su guponiziwa ulweli waku!”
Jesus, perceiving her, called her to him, and, laying his hand on her, said, Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity.
13 Kamtulila mawoku gakuwi, na palaa palii shibyongu shihuka na kawera safi, su kamkwisiti Mlungu.
Immediately she stood upright, and glorified God.
14 Mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu kaweriti kakalala Yesu pakamponiziyiti mulishaka lya kwoyera, su kawagambiriti wantu, “Kwana mashaka sita gamuweza kutenda lihengu, mwizi mumashaka aga muponiziwi malweli genu, namwiza Mulishaka lya kwoyera!”
But the director of the synagogue, moved with indignation, because Jesus had performed a cure on the Sabbath, said to the people, There are six days for working; come, therefore, on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 Mtuwa kamwankula, “Gwamfyangu gwenga! Ndo gaa pakati penu mekamvuguli ng'ombi ama punda gwakuwi kulawa mulizizi na kumtenda kalandi mashi ata payiwera lishaka lya kwoyera?
To which the Lord replied, Hypocrites! who is there amongst you that does not, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 Vinu su peni panu kwana muhinga gwa Aburahamu ndomweni Shetani kamtenda shibyongu kwa mivinja lilongu na nane, su iherepa ndiri kumponiziya mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
And must not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound, lo! these eighteen years, be released from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 Kuwankula kwakuwi kuwatenditi wadoda wawoni soni weni, kumbiti wantu wamonga wanemeleriti toziya ya vitwatira vyakatenditi.
On his saying this, all his opposers were ashamed; but the whole multitude was delighted with all the glorious actions performed by him.
18 Yesu kakosiyiti, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu ulifana na shishi? Nuufaniziyi na shintu gaa?
He said, moreover, What does the kingdom of God resemble? To what shall I compare it?
19 Ulifana hangu. Muntu katola mbeyu ndidini nentu ya haradali na kuyala mulirambu. Mbeyu imera na kuwera mtera, na wampongu wiza na kunyawa vitukulu vyawu mumitambi.”
It resembles a grain of mustard seed, which a man threw into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air took shelter in its branches.
20 Kayi Yesu kakosiya, “Hanuufaniziyi Ufalumi wa Mlungu na shintu gaa?
Again, he said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Ulifana na simika yakatoliti mawu yumu na kuyihanganyiya pamuhera na ubumu vipimu vitatu, su ubumu woseri ututumuka.”
It resembles leaven, which a woman mingled in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu kendereyiti na mwanja gwakuwi kugenda muisi na muvijiji, pakafunda wantu na pakanyawa njira yakuwi kugenda Yerusalemu.
And he took a journey to Jerusalem; teaching as he passed through cities and villages:
23 Muntu yumu su kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, wantu hawawalopoziyi ndo wadidini hera?” Yesu kawagambiriti,
and one asked him, Master, are there but few who shall be saved? He answered,
24 “Mkamaliri nentu kwingira mumlyangu mdidini, toziya wantu wavuwa hawajeli nakaka kwingira kumbiti hapeni wingiri.
Force your entrance through the straight gate; for many, I assure you, will request to be admitted, who shall not prevail.
25 Mkulu gwa numba hakimuki na kutata mlyangu, mwenga hamgoloki kunja na kwanja kukota mlyangu na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, mtuwa! Gutuvuguliri mlyangu!’ Nayomberi hakawankuli, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga na pamlawa!’
If once the master of the house shall have arisen and locked the door, and you standing without and knocking, say, Master, Master, open to us; he will answer, I know not whence you are.
26 Su mwenga hamwankuli, ‘Tuliya na kulanda pamuwera na gwenga, na gwenga gutufunditi muisi yetu!’
Then they will say, We have eat and drunk with you, and you have taught in our streets.
27 Kumbiti yomberi kayi hakalongi, ‘Nupamana ndiri pamlawa. Muwuki kulawa kwaneni mwoseri mtenda vidoda!’
But he will answer, I tell you, I know not whence you are: remove hence, all you workers of unrighteousness.
28 Su panu hamulili na kugayagaya menu genu pawakwasirani kunja na hamuwaloli Aburahamu na Isaka na Yakobu na wambuyi wa Mlungu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!
Then will ensue weeping, and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets received into the kingdom of God, and yourselves excluded:
29 Wantu hawizi kulawa kwagulawa mushenji na kwaguzyeta mushenji, kulawa kushana na kusika, su hawaweri mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
nay, people will come from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south, and will place themselves at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Su woseri yawawera wa upeleru hawaweri wa kwanja, na woseri yawawera vinu wa kwanja hawaweri wa upeleru.”
And, behold, they are last, who shall be first; and they are first, who shall be last.
31 Shipindi shilaa shiliya Wamafalisayu wamu wamwiziriti Yesu na kumgambira, “Gufiruwa guwuki panu na gugendi pahala pingi, toziya Herodi kafira kakulagi gwenga!”
The same day, certain Pharisees came to him, and said, Get away; depart hence, for Herod intends to kill you.
32 Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri shibweta ulii hangu, ‘Nankuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya walweli leru na shilawu, na lishaka lya tatu hamalili lihengu lyangu.’
He answered, Go, tell that fox, To-day and to-morrow I expel demons, and perform cures, and the third day my course will be completed.
33 Vila vilii mpaka nweri mumwanja leru, na shilawu, na lishaka limonga, toziya iherepa ndiri kwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu wamlagi kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless, I must walk about to-day and to-morrow, and the day following; for it can not be, that a prophet should be cut off anywhere but in Jerusalem.
34 “Yerusalemu! Shondi shondi Yerusalemu bamu! Guwalaga wambuyi wa Mlungu, guwagumanga kwa mabuwi walii yawatumitwi kwaku! Vipindi vivuwa nfira kuwatula wana waku mumawoku mwangu gambira nkuku pakavigupika vyana vyakuwi kwa mbapatiru zyakuwi, kumbiti gwenga gunema!
O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killest the prophets, and stonest them whom God sends to you! how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings; but you would not!
35 Su hawakulekeli gumweni numba yaku. Nukugambira nakaka gwenga hapeni muwoni mpaka shipindi shiza pamtakula, ‘Mlungu gumtekeleri ulii yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa.’”
Quickly shall your house be deserted; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not see me, till the time when you shall say, Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
