Luka 13
1 Kwa wakataihuo huo, kulikuwa na baadhi watu waliomtaarifu juu ya Wagalilaya ambao Pilato aliwaua na kuchanganya damu yao na sadaka zao.
Now some were present at the same time who informed him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “Je mwadhani kuwa Wagalilaya hao walikuwa na dhambi kuliko Wagalilaya wengine wote ndiyo maana wamepatwa na mabaya hayo?
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Do ye suppose that these Galileans became sinful above all the Galileans because they have suffered such things?
3 Hapana, nawaambia, lakini msipotubu, nanyi mtaangamia vivyo hivyo.
I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all perish similarly.
4 Au wale watu kumi na nane katika Siloamu ambao mnara ulianguka na kuwaua, mnafikiri wao walikuwa wenye dhambi zaidi kuliko watu wengine katika Yerusalemu?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them. Do ye think that these became debtors above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Hapana, mimi nasema, lakini kama msipotubu, ninyi nyote pia mtaangamia.
I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all likewise perish.
6 Yesu aliwaambia mfano huu, “Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini umepandwa katika shamba lake na alikwenda kutafuta matunda juu yake lakini hakupata.
And he spoke this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 Akamwambia mtunza bustani, 'Tazama, kwa miaka mitatu nimekuja na kujaribu kutafuta matunda kwenye mtini huu lakini sikupata. Uukate. Kwani ulete uharibifu wa ardhi?
And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?
8 Mtunza bustani akajibu na kusema, 'uache mwaka huu ili niupalilie na kuweka mbolea juu yake.
And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.
9 Kama ukizaa matunda mwaka ujao, ni vema; lakini kama hautazaa, uukate!”'
Although surely it should bear fruit, and if not, in the coming year thou will cut it down.
10 Sasa Yesu alikuwa akifundisha katika mojawapo ya Masinagogi wakati wa Sabato.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
11 Tazama, alikuwepo mama mmoja ambaye kwa miaka kumi na minane alikuwa na rohomchafu wa udhaifu, na yeye alikuwa amepinda na hana uwezo kabisa wa kusimama.
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bent over, and not being able to straighten up completely.
12 Yesu alipomwona, alimwita, akamwambia, “Mama, umewekwa huru kutoka kwenye udhaifu wako.”
And when Jesus saw her, he called out, and said to her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Akaweka mikono yake juu yake, na mara mwili wake akajinyoosha na akamtukuza Mungu.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Lakini mkuu wa sinagogi alikasirika kwa sababu Yesu alikuwa amemponya siku ya Sabato. Hivyo mtawala akajibu akawambia makutano, “Kuna siku sita ambazo ni lazima kufanya kazi. Njoni kuponywa basi, si katika siku ya Sabato. '
And having responded, the synagogue-ruler, being indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which he ought to work. Therefore coming in these, be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
15 Bwana akamjibu na akasema, “wanafiki! Hakuna kila mmoja wenu kufungua punda wako au ng'ombe kutoka zizini na kuwaongoza kumpeleka kunywa siku ya Sabato?
But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?
16 Hivyo pia binti wa Abrahamu, ambaye Shetani amemfunga kwa miaka kumi na minane, je haikumpasa kifungo chake kisifunguliwe siku ya sabato?”
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
17 Alipokuwa akisema maneno hayo, wale wote waliompinga waliona aibu, bali makutano wote wa wengine walishangilia kwa ajili ya mambo ya ajabu aliyotenda.
And as he said these things all those opposing him were shamed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Yesu akasema, “Ufalme wa Mungu unafanana na nini, na naweza kuulinganisha na nini?
And he said, What is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I compare it?
19 Ni kama mbegu ya haradari aliyoitwaa mtu mmoja na kuipanda shambani mwake, na ikamea ikawa mti mkubwa, na ndege wa mbinguni wakajenga viota vyao katika matawi yake.
It is like a grain of a mustard plant, which having taken, a man cast into his own garden. And it grew and developed into a great tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches if it.
20 Tena akasema, “Niufananishe na nini ufalme wa Mungu?
And again he said, To what will I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Ni kama chachu ambayo mwanamke aliichukua na kuchanganyakwenye vipimo vitatu vya unga hata ukaumuka.”
It is like leaven that a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu alitembelea kila mji na kijiji njiani akielekea Yerusalemu na kuwafundisha.
And he went through by cities and villages, teaching, and making a journey toward Jerusalem.
23 Mtu mmoja akauliza, “Bwana, ni watu wachache tu watakaookolewa?” Hivyo akawaambia,
And a certain man said to him, Lord, are they few who are being saved? And he said to them,
24 “Jitahidi kuingia kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba, kwa sababu wengi watajaribu na hawataweza kuingia.
Compete to enter in by the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Mara baada ya mmiliki wa nyumba kusimama na kufunga mlango, basi mtasimama nje na kupiga hodi mlangoni na kusema, Bwana, Bwana, tufungulie yeye atajibu na kuwaambia, siwajui ninyi wala mtokako.'
From the time the house-ruler has risen up, and has closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and having answered, he will say to you, I know not where ye are from,
26 Ndipo mtasema, Tulikula na kunywa mbele yako na wewe ulifundisha katika mitaa yetu.”
then ye will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou taught in our thoroughfares.
27 Lakini yeye atawajibu, `nawaambia, siwajui mtokako, ondokeni kwangu, ninyi watenda maovu!'
And he will say, I tell you, I know not where ye are from. Depart from me, all ye workmen of unrighteousness.
28 Kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno wakati mtakapowaona Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo na manabii wote katika ufalme wa Mungu, lakini ninyi wenyewe mumetupwa nje.
There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you being thrust out.
29 Watafika kutoka Mashariki, Magharibi, Kaskazini na Kusini, na kupumzika katika meza ya chakula cha jioni katika ufalme wa Mungu.
And they will arrive from the east and west, and from the north and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Na tambua hili, wa mwisho ni wa kwanza na wa kwanza atakuwa wa mwisho.”
And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
31 Muda mfupi baadaye, baadhi ya Mafarisayo walikuja na kumwambia, “Nenda na ondoka hapa kwa sababu Herode anataka kukuua.”
In the same day some Pharisees came, saying to him, Get thee out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill thee.
32 Yesu akasema, “Nendeni mkamwambie yule mbweha, `Tazama, ninawafukuza pepo na kufanya uponyaji leo na kesho, na siku ya tatu nitatimiza lengo langu.
And he said to them, Having gone, say to this fox, Behold, I cast out demons and finish cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am fully perfected.
33 Katika hali yoyote, ni muhimu kwa ajili yangu kuendelea leo, kesho, na siku iliyofuata, kwa vile haikubaliki kumuua nabii mbali na Yerusalemu.
Nevertheless it is necessary for me to go today and tomorrow and the following, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, nani anawaua manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwenu. Mara ngapi nimetaka kuwakusanya watoto wenu kama vile kuku anavyokusanya vifaranga vyake chini ya mbawa zake, lakini humkulitaka hili.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
35 Tazama, nyumba yako imetelekezwa. Nami nawaambia, hamuwezi kuniona hata mtakaposema 'Amebarikiwa huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.'”
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And I say to you, that ye will, no, not see me, until it will come when ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
