Luka 13
1 Ane gova vreme odori sesa nesave save phende e Isusese tare Galilejcura savengo rat o Pilat mešisada lenđe žrtvencar.
Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
2 O Isus phenda lenđe: “Tumen li den gođi kaj gola Galilejcura so sesa mudarde si pogrešna tare avera Galilejcura?
Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
3 Na! Phenav tumenđe, al ako ni irin tumen tare grehura, sa tumen gija ka meren.
I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
4 Il, so si kole dešohtonecar pe kaste pelo o toranj ano Siloam thaj mudarda len? Tumen li den gođi kaj von sesa po grešna tare sa avera manuša so bešen ano Jerusalim?
Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Na! Phenav tumenđe, al ako ni irin tumen tare grehura, sa tumen gija ka meren.”
I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
6 O Isus vaćarda lenđe kaja paramič: “Jekhe manuše sasa smokva sadime ano vinograd. Kana avilo te dičhol dal anda bijandipe, ni arakhlja pe late khanči.
Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
7 Tegani vaćarda e manušese savo ćerda bući ko vinograd: ‘Akh, trito berš sar avav te rodav bijandipe pi kaja smokva, al ni arakhav khanči. Čhin la! Sose te šućarol i phuv?’
Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
8 Kova manuš lese phenda: ‘Gospodarona! Ačhav la vadži kava berš te hunav paše late thaj te čhudav laće gunoj.
But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
9 Šaj ka bijanol aver berš. Te na, ka čhine la.’”
If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
10 Kana o Isus sikavola ani jekh sinagoga ko savato
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
11 sasa gothe jekh džuvli savi sasa banđardi dumesa taro bilačho duxo thaj sasa nasvali dešohto berš thaj naštine te ispravil pe.
There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
12 Kana o Isus dikhlja la, dija la vika thaj phenda laće: “Džuvlije! Oslobodimi san tare ćiro nasvalipe!”
When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
13 Čhuta pe late pe vasta, thaj voj sigate ispravisajli thaj hvalisada e Devle.
He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
14 Tegani o starešina tari sinagoga but holajlo sose o Isus sastarda ko savato thaj vaćarda e manušenđe: “Isi šov đive ano kurko ke save šaj ćerol pe bući! Aven ke gola đive te sastardon, a na ko savato!”
But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
15 O Gospod o Isus tegani phenda lenđe: “Dujemujenđe! Tumen li ni putren tumare guruve il e here tari jasla thaj ni inđaren le te pijol paj?
Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
16 A kala čheja tare Avraamesi kuštik sava o Satana phanglja akh dešohto berš, sose te na putrol pe ko savato?”
This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
17 Kana kava šunde, ladžajle savore save sesa protiv leste, al sa avere manuša sesa baxtale paše sa e šukar buća so o Isus ćerda.
After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Tegani o Isus vaćarda: “Savo si o Carstvo e Devleso? Thaj sosa te uporediv le?
Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
19 Vov si sar seme e gorušicako, savo lol o manuš thaj čhudol le ane piro vrt. Vov barol thaj ćerdol baro kaš thaj e čiriklja aven thaj ćeren pese gnezdura ane lese raja.”
It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
20 Thaj palem o Isus vaćarda: “Savo si o Carstvo e Devleso? Thaj sosa te uporediv le?
Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
21 Vov si sar kvasaco savo i džuvli dospil ani bari vangla aresa, sa dži kaj ni šukljol.”
It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
22 Dok o Isus phirda pe dromesa ano Jerusalim, nakhlo maškare forura thaj maškare gava thaj sikavola e manušen.
[Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
23 Khoni pučlja le: “Gospode, dal samo zala ka aven spasime?” O Isus phenda lenđe:
Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
24 “Trudin tumen te den ko tesno vudar e neboso, golese kaj but džene, vaćarav tumenđe, ka manđen te den, al ni ka šaj.
[Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
25 Kana o čherutno uštol thaj phandol e vudara tare piro čher, ka avol tumenđe but kasno. Tegani ka ačhen avral, ka čalaven ko vudar thaj ka den vika: ‘Gospode! Putar amenđe e vudara!’ Al vov ka vaćarol tumenđe: ‘Ni pindžarav tumen katar sen.’
[God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
26 Tegani ka vaćaren: ‘Amen xaljam thaj piljam tusa thaj pe amare droma sikadan!’
Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
27 Al vov ka phenol: ‘Vaćarav tumenđe: Ni pindžarav tumen katar sen. Crden tumen mandar save bilačhipe ćeren!’
But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
28 Gothe ka roven thaj ka škripin dandencar, kana ka dičhen e Avraame, e Isaako thaj e Jakove thaj sa e prorokuren ano Carstvo e Devleso, a tumen ka aven ikalde avral.
Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
29 But džene ka aven taro istok thaj taro zapad, taro sever thaj taro jug thaj ka bešen pašo astali ano Carstvo e Devleso.
Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
30 Thaj dikh, kola so si akana anglal odori ka aven empalal, a kola save si empalal odori ka aven emanglal.”
Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
31 Ane gova đive avile nesave fariseja te phenen e Isusese: “Iklji thaj dža akatar, golese so o caro o Irod manđol te mudarol tut!”
At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
32 O Isus phenda lenđe: “Džan thaj vaćaren gole lisicaće: ‘Akh, ikalav e benđen thaj sastarav ađive thaj theara, a trito đive ka završiv.’
He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
33 Al ađive, theara thaj prektheara trubul te džav mingre dromesa, golese kaj o proroko našti mudardol avral taro Jerusalim.
But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
34 Jerusalime, Jerusalime, tu savo mudare e prorokuren thaj čhude bara pe kola saven bičhalda o Dol tuće! Kobor droma mangljem te ćidav ćire čhavoren sar i khanji pe pujoren tale pe phaka, al ni mangljen!
[Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
35 Akh, tumaro čher ka avol pusto. A me vaćarav tumenđe: Ni ka dičhen man sa dok ni vaćaren: ‘Blagoslovimo si kova savo avol ano alav e Gospodeso.’”
So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
