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 at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu kawakosiya, “Toziya wantu wa Galilaya wawalagiti kwa njira ilii, mlihola kuwera waweriti na vidoda kuliku wantu wa Galilaya wamonga?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Neni nonga, ndala! Nukugambirani kuwera handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye 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 in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
5 Ndala! Nukugambirani mwenga, handa pamlema kuleka vidoda vyamtenda, hamhowi ntambu yawahowiti womberi.”
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye 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.
And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he 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.’
And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?
8 Kumbiti ntumintumi kamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, guguleki huti kwa shinja shimu hera, hanugulimili na kugulekera mbotu.
And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
9 Pagulera mabwajubwaju shinja shankwiza, hayiherepi nentu, kumbiti pagulera ndiri su guweza kugudumula.’”
then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
10 Yesu kaweriti munumba ya Mlungu mulishaka lya kwoyera pakafunda.
And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
11 Palii peniti na mdala yakeniti na shamshera yakamtenda kalwali mivinja lilongu na nane, kaweriti na shibyongu ata kasinditi kugoloka.
there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
12 Yesu pakamwoniti kamshema, “Mawu, su guponiziwa ulweli waku!”
And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Kamtulila mawoku gakuwi, na palaa palii shibyongu shihuka na kawera safi, su kamkwisiti Mlungu.
And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, 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 ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come 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?
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his 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 might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
17 Kuwankula kwakuwi kuwatenditi wadoda wawoni soni weni, kumbiti wantu wamonga wanemeleriti toziya ya vitwatira vyakatenditi.
Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
18 Yesu kakosiyiti, “Ufalumi wa Mlungu ulifana na shishi? Nuufaniziyi na shintu gaa?
Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and 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 is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
20 Kayi Yesu kakosiya, “Hanuufaniziyi Ufalumi wa Mlungu na shintu gaa?
And 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 is like leaven, which a woman took and put into 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 went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
23 Muntu yumu su kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, wantu hawawalopoziyi ndo wadidini hera?” Yesu kawagambiriti,
And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
24 “Mkamaliri nentu kwingira mumlyangu mdidini, toziya wantu wavuwa hawajeli nakaka kwingira kumbiti hapeni wingiri.
But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
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!’
When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
26 Su mwenga hamwankuli, ‘Tuliya na kulanda pamuwera na gwenga, na gwenga gutufunditi muisi yetu!’
then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
27 Kumbiti yomberi kayi hakalongi, ‘Nupamana ndiri pamlawa. Muwuki kulawa kwaneni mwoseri mtenda vidoda!’
and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
28 Su panu hamulili na kugayagaya menu genu pawakwasirani kunja na hamuwaloli Aburahamu na Isaka na Yakobu na wambuyi wa Mlungu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!
and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
29 Wantu hawizi kulawa kwagulawa mushenji na kwaguzyeta mushenji, kulawa kushana na kusika, su hawaweri mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down 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, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that 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!”
At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
32 Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri shibweta ulii hangu, ‘Nankuwalaviya washamshera na kuwaponiziya walweli leru na shilawu, na lishaka lya tatu hamalili lihengu lyangu.’
And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
33 Vila vilii mpaka nweri mumwanja leru, na shilawu, na lishaka limonga, toziya iherepa ndiri kwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu wamlagi kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off 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 that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
35 Su hawakulekeli gumweni numba yaku. Nukugambira nakaka gwenga hapeni muwoni mpaka shipindi shiza pamtakula, ‘Mlungu gumtekeleri ulii yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa.’”
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
