Luka 7
1 Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula vyoseri kwa wantu, kagenditi Kafarinaumu.
After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Mkulu gwa wanjagila miya yimu kaweriti na ntumini yakamfiriti nentu. Ntumintumi kaweriti kalwala tashitashi.
And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
3 Mkulu ulii pakapikaniriti visoweru vya Yesu, kawatumiti wazewi wa Shiyawudi kumluwa kizi kamuponiziyi ntumintumi gwakuwi.
But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
4 Wagenditi kwa Yesu na kumuhiga nentu pawalonga, “Muntu ayu kafiruwa gumtenderi shitwatila ashi.
And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
5 Kawafira wantu wetu na mweni katunyawira numba ya Mlungu.”
for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
6 Su Yesu kagenda pamuhera na womberi. Pakaweriti pakwegera na ukaya kwa mkulu ulii, mkulu ulii kawatumiti waganja wakuwi wamgambiri Yesu, “Mtuwa naguligaziya hera. Gwenga gufiruwa ndiri kwingira mnumba mwangu,
And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
7 na neni mona nfaa ndiri ata kwiza kwa gwenga. Kumbiti gutakuli hera, ntumini gwangu hakaweri mkomu.
Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
8 Mana neni viraa namuntu gwa pasi pa ukulu, nanawa wamanjagila yanuwalongoziyiti. Panumgambira yumu, ‘Gugendi!’ Yomberi kagenda na panumgambira yumonga, ‘Gwizi!’ Yomberi kiza na panumgambira ntumintumi gwangu, ‘Gutendi shintu ashi!’ Nayomberi katenda.”
For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth it.
9 Yesu pakapikaniriti hangu kalikangasha, su kaligalambukiriti lipinga lya wantu lyalimfatiti pakalonga, “Nankuwagambirani, mpata ndiri kuwona muntu kana njimiru gambira ayu Muisraeli!”
And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
10 Wantu walii pawasokiti ukaya kwa Mkulu wamwoniti ntumintumi ulii kawera mkomu nakamu.
And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
11 Shakapanu, Yesu kagenditi lushi lwawalushema Naini, wafundwa wakuwi pamuhera na lipinga likulu lya wantu wagenda nayomberi.
And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
12 Su pakaweriti pakwegera na mlyangu mkulu gwa Iushi, wantu wampapiti yakahowiti waweriti wankulawa kunja kwa Iushi. Yakahowiti kaweriti mwana gwagweka gwa mdala yakaweriti mkenja, na lipinga likulu lya wantu waweriti pamuhera nayomberi.
Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
13 Mtuwa pakamwoniti mkenja ulii, kamwonera lusungu mdala ulii, kamgambiriti, “Nagulira.”
And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
14 Shakapanu kalisegelera lijeneza lya yakahowiti na kulishinkula, wantu wawalipapiti wagoloka. Yesu kalonga, “Muntemba! Nukugambira gwimuki!”
And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
15 Muntu ulii yakahowiti kalivaga, su kanja kuyowera. Yesu kamupa mawu gwakuwi.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Wantu woseri weniti lyoga wamkwisiti Mlungu pawalonga, “Mbuyi mkulu kalawira pakati petu. Mlungu kiza kuwalopoziya wantu wakuwi!”
And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
17 Visoweru avi vya Yesu viyeniyiti mulushi loseri lwa Yudeya na lushi zya pakwegera.
And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
18 Wafundwa wa Yohani wamgambiriti Yohani vitwatira avi vyoseri, nayomberi pakawashemiti kala awili wamu wa wafundwa wakuwi
And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
19 kawatumiti kwa Mtuwa wakamkosiyi, “Hashi, gwenga ndo gwamweni yatumuhepera, ama tumuheperi gwingi?”
And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
20 Wafundwa walii wamgendiriti Yesu na kumgambira, “Yohani Mbatiza katutuma kwaku tukukosiyi handa gwenga ndo uliya yakatakuliti gwankwiza ama tumuheperi gwingi?”
And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
21 Shipindi shiraa shilii Yesu kaweriti kankuwaponiziya wantu wavuwa weniti na malweri na wamonga waniti na washamshera wadoda na kuwapanana wanalwisi wavuwa kulola.
In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
22 Su Yesu kawankula wantumintumi wa Yohani pakalonga, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri Yohani vyoseri vyamuviwoniti na kuvipikinira, wanalwisi wawona, wavibyeketu wagendagenda, woseri walii yawawera na ungumbula wapungwa, yawawera na majogu vinu wapikinira, wahowiti su wazyuka na Shisoweru Shiwagira shibwerwa kwa wahushu.
And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
23 Mbaka woseri walii wahera lyoga na neni.”
And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
24 Su wajumbi wa Yohani pawawukiti kala, Yesu kanja kuligambira lipinga kwajili ya Yohani, “Pamgenditi kumlola Yohani kushiwala mfira kulola shintu gaa? Mfiriti kuwona gambira mateti ntambu yagatikinyika na lihega? Ndala!
And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
25 Su mgenditi kumlola muntu gwa ntambu gaa? Hashi mliholiti Mgenditi kumlola muntu kavaliti nguwu ziherepa? Ndala, wantu yawavala nguwu ziherepa na kubojola vinoga noga vyaviwera muukulu!
But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
26 Su mung'ambiri, mgenditi kumlola muntu gwa ntambu gaa? Mgenditi kumlola mbuyi gwa Mlungu? Yina nakaka, tuwona gavuwa nentu kuliku mbuyi.
But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
27 Yohani ayu ndo yumu yawamtakula mukulemba, kulonga, ‘Mlungu kalonga, hanumtumi mjumbi gwangu hakakulonguleri kukunyawira njira kwajili yaku.’”
This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Yesu kamaliriti kwa kulonga, “Nukugambirani, Yohani ndo mkulu kuliku woseri yawalikaliti pasipanu. Kumbiti yakaweriti mdidini Muwufalumi wa Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku Yohani.”
I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29 Wantu woseri wampikaniriti. Wantu wavuwa asa watola kodi ndo wagajimiriti Malagaliru Mananagala ga Mlungu, awa ndo walii Yohani yakawabatiziti.
And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
30 Kumbiti Mafalisayu pamuhera na wafunda wa Malagaliru wagulemiti mpangu gwa Mlungu na wamlemiti Yohani kawabatizi.
but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
31 Yesu kongera kulonga, “Vinu wantu wa mashaka aga walifana na shintu gaa?
Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
32 Walifana gambira wana yawalivaga pahala pa guliwu. Shipinga shimu shishigambizisiya shamonga, ‘Tuviniti msambu gwa ndowa kumbiti mwenga mvina ndiri! Twimba lwimbu lwa kudaya kumbiti mlila ndiri!’
They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
33 Yohani Mbatiza pakiziti, koyiti kuliya na kalanda ndiri divayi, kumbiti mwenga mlongiti, ‘Kana washamshera!’
For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
34 Kiziti Mwana gwa Muntu, kaliyiti shiboga na kulanda, kumbiti mwenga mtakula, ‘Mumloli muntu ayu, Kana lwaliya na mkologeru, ganja gwa watola kodi na wanavidoda!’
The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
35 Kumbiti luhala lwa Mlungu luwonekana kuwera lwa nakaka kwa wantu woseri yawalijimira.”
And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
36 Mfalisayu yumu kamshemera Yesu walii shiboga sha pamihi pamuhera nayomberi na Yesu kingiriti mnumba mwa Mfarisayu na kulivaga pasi kuliya shiboga.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
37 Su palushi palii peniti na mdala yakaweriti na makaliru ga vidoda. Kapikaniriti handa Yesu kankuliya shiboga mnumba ya Falisayu, katoliti supa ya alabasta yayiweriti na utuli.
And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
38 Kagenda kagoloka pakwegera pamagulu pa Yesu pakalila na masozi gakuwi gamtulukiriti Yesu pamagulu. Kapukuta magulu ga Yesu kwa vilii zyakuwi na kunonera magulu, kagaswaga utuli.
and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Mfalisayu pakawoniti hangu, kalitakuliti pakalihola mumoyu mwakuwi, “Handa muntu ayu nakaka ndo mbuyi gwa Mlungu, hakavimani handa mdala yakakushinkula ka gaa, hakavimani makaliru ga vidoda ntambu yakawera nagu!”
But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
40 Yesu kamgambira Mfarisayu uliya, “Simoni, nana shintu shakukugambira.” Simoni kamwankula, “Yina mfunda gung'ambiri.”
And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
41 Yesu kamgambira, “Kuweriti na wantu awili yawamkopiti muntu yakakopesha mpiya. Yumu kakopiti senti zivuwa na yumonga senti zivuwa ndiri.
Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
42 Pawasinditi kulipa uwanda wawu, muntu uliya kawalekiziya woseri awili. Vinu pakati pa wantu awili walii, yoshi hakamfiri nentu muntu ayu yakawalekiziyiti?”
they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
43 Simoni kamwankula, “Nuvimana kuwera, ulii yawamlekiziyiti uwanda mkulu nentu” Yesu kamgambira, “Gutakula nweri.”
Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
44 Kamgalambukira mdala uliya na kumgambira Simoni, “Gumwona mdala ayu? Niziti pakaya paku, gunupa ndiri mashi gakunaviya magulu gangu, kumbiti mdala ayu kaganaviya magulu gangu kwa masozi gakuwi na kumpukuta kwa vilii zyakuwi.
And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
45 Gwenga gunamsiya ndiri kwa kunonera, kumbiti mdala ayu kwanjira paningiliti kaweriti pakanonera magulu gangu.
A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
46 Gwenga gunswagaziya ndiri lipaki mumtuwi mwangu, kumbiti mdala ayu kagapakaziya magulu gangu kwa utuli.
With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
47 Su nukugambira, kwa kufira kwakuwi kukulu kulanguziyiti nakaka kuwera vidoda vivuwa vyakaweriti navyi vilekiziwa. Kumbiti ulii yakalekiziwa padidini kalanguziya kufira padidini hera.”
For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
48 Su Yesu kamgambira mdala uliya, “Gulekiziwa vidoda vyaku.”
And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
49 Wantu wamonga yawaweriti walivaga pameza wanjiti kulitakuliziyana weni pawalonga, “Ayu gaa yakaweza kulekiziya vidoda?”
And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
50 Kumbiti Yesu kamgambira mdala uliya, “Kujimira kwaku kukulopoziya, gugendi kwa ponga.”
But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
