Luke 7 (DNE) · Opened

1Yecho pajhomolila kulonge nabho bhando, ajhakujhenda ku Kapelenaumo.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Kwenio akibha kilongoche jhumo jwa akakomana ngondo jwa ku Loma, jwakibha na ntumiche gwake jwanhobholila hake. Na ntumiche jwenio atehila kulwalwa tepekatepeka abhandikila kuwegha.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Nkolo jwa akakomana ngondo jhola pajhohina malobhe panane jha Yecho, ajhakwatuma ighogholo ya Akayahude, bhajhende bhakannyope Yecho ahike kunamicha ntumiche gwake.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Ighogholo hela pubhahikita kwa Yecho, bhajhakumpembelekeya hake chonde Bhambo tunyopa mkantangatile kilongoche jwa akakomana ngondo jhola, bhalongila, “Mundo jhonjo itopile kuhengelwa kilebhe chenie,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5kwa nhwalo abhapala hake bhando bha ilambo hito, kabhele atuchengile nyumba jha kukonganikii Akayahude kwa nhwalo gwa Chapanga.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Bhahe, Yecho ajhakulongohana nabho, pubhaheghelila pa nyumba jha nkolo jhola, ndi nkolo jhola ajhakwatuma akakoche mundo bhanobholele Yecho, “Bhambo, chonde nkotoka kuking'aha nenga itope ndeka mwenga kujhingila nkate jha nyumba jhango.So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7Nambo nenga ndopi ndeka kuhika kwino. Nambo unobholele lilobhe tugha, na ntumiche jwango nalama.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Helahela namwete ndi mundo jhumii na ukindendeke, ngwete akakomana ngondo bhinalongocha. Anda ninobholile jhumo, ‘Jhenda!’ Na jwenio ujhenda, na ninobholela jhonge ‘Ika!’ Na jwenio uhika. Anda ninobholile ntumiche gwango, ‘Uhenge lende.’ Na jwenio uhenga.”For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Yecho pajhohina malobhe gheniya akakangiche hake, ajhakughalambukila lilongo lya bhando gwakalongihine nagho, ajhakulobholela, “Ninalola ndeka jhuna kihobholelo ngita chenje, hilu pakate jha kilambo choha chuku Ichilahele!”When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Peniya bhando bhala bhubhakajhenda kwa Yecho pubhabhujhita ukajha kwa kilongoche jwa ku Loma bhakankolile ntumiche jhola alamite.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Pajhomolila peniya, Yecho ajhakujhenda kubomane jha ku Naine, bhabholwa bhake na lilongo lya bhando bhakalongohine pamonga na jwenio.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Paheghelila litangala lya kujhingilila pa bomane jhela, ajhakukongana nabho bhando bhubhagheghite malelo mukindanda cha kugheghe malelo bhajhenda kumambe. Jwenio jwakawile akibha nchongolo, mwana jwabhelwike kanjika kwa majhe mundo. Na bhando bhamahele bha pabomane jhela bhakibha pamonga na jwenio majhe.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Bhambo Yecho pamonila kiya majhe nawela jhola, ajhakunobholela “Nkotoka kulela.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Peniya, ajhakujhenda palonge jha nchekacheka gwa kugheghe malelo ajhakupapaha, na bhubhagheghite malelo bhajhakujhema nuu. Na Yecho ajhakulonge, “Nchongolo! Ninobholela, nnyimuke!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Nchongolo jwakawile jhola, ajhakutama na kutumbuu kulonge, na Yecho ajhakukamuha kwa majhe mundo.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Bhando bhoha bhajhakukamulwa na kiholo, na bhene bhajhakunomba Chapanga, bhalongila, “Nnondole nkolo apitile kwito, Chapanga ahikite kwaghombola bhando bhake.”A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17Malobhe gheniya ghajhakuchobhela ku kilambo chuku Yudeya choha na ilambo henge ya pahina.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Bhabholwa bha Yohane Mbatichajhe bhajhakunnobholela Yohane ilebhe yoha ipitila. Na jwenio Yohane, ajhakwakema bhabholwa bhake bhabhele,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19na kwatuma bhajhende kwa Bhambo Yecho bhakankonye, “Bho, mwenga ndi jhola jwahika, amu tunendelele jhonge?”So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Peniya bhabholwa bhala bhajhakujhenda kwa Yecho, bhajhakunnobholela, “Yohane Mbatichajhe atitume kwino mwenga tunkonye, bho, mwenga ndi jhola jwahika, amu tunendelele jhonge?”When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21Machiko ghagha, pubhakibha bhankonyita Yecho akibha makwalamicha bhando bhamahele bhibhabhii na ulwalo, bhubhachikilwe na michuka, helahela bhangalola bhahoto kulola.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Bhahe, Yecho ajhakwajhanguu, “Nnyendengane mukannobholele Yohane ghoha ghumujhoha na kughabhona. Bhangalola bhilola, na bhubhalemile bhityanga, bhina malohe bhilamichwa na bhangajhoha bhijhoha na bhubhawile bhiyokechwa na akahocho bhatangachilwa Lilobhe lya Mbone.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Jhuna mota mundo jhola jwanganeka kunyeketela nenga!”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Bhabholwa bha Yohane pubhabhokita, Yecho ajhakutumbula kulilongolela lilongo lya bhando malobhe panane jha Yohane, “Punyahwila kunjenga nnyabhila kulola nike? Bho, nnyabhila kulinga litete pulipogha pogha upepo?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25Bhahe, mukajhawile kulola nike? Nnyahwila kuninga mundo jwawalite ngobho ichuluchwa kwa mbijha yamahele? Bhando bhibhahwala ngobho ngita yenio na kutama kwa kuhanganila, utama majhumba gha akanahota na kukipala hake bhene!Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26Bhahe, unobholele nike chimukajhawile kulinga? Bho, nnondole jwa Chapanga? Tela, chakaka jwenio ndi nkolongwa kupeta nnondole jwa Chapanga jhumoyobhalile.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Jwenio Yohane ndi jwalongelwa mu Majhandiko gha Chapanga, alongila, ‘Dola nintuma ntumiche gwango anongolele, palonge jhino anenganikihe ndela jhino.’ ”This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Yecho pajhomolila kulonge, “Yohane Mbatichajhe ndi nkolongwa pakate jha bhando bhubhapapitwe na mwikeghe. Helahela jhojhoha jwabhii jwandina munahota gwa Chapanga ndi nkolongwa kupeta Yohane.”I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Bhando bhoha, pamonga na akatola kode pubhajhohina gheniya, bhakajheketile kubhehe ndela jha Chapanga ndi telatela na bheniya ndi bhala bhubhakabatichwe na Yohane.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Nambo Mapwalichayo na bhabhola bha Malaghalikilo bhajhakukana mpangu gwa Chapanga ghukibha gwabhe, bhahe bhajhakukana kubatichwa na Yohane.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Bhahe, Yecho pajhendilila kulonge, “Bho, ninandanikiye bhando bha kibheleko chenje na kilebhe ghane? Nnandine na nike?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Ngita ichongolo ikibha itamingine paliguliho na kujhangulana kibhogha chimo na chenge, ‘Tunhonile kitolilo! Nambo mangota nkinite ndeka. Tunyembile mihambo jha malelo, nambo mangota nnelite ndeka!’They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33Kwa nhwalo Yohane Mbatichajhe akahikite, atehila kupunga na anywila ndeka divaye, na mangota nnyakulonge, ‘Achikilwe nchuka!’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Jwenio Mwana gwa Mundo pahikita, alila na kunywegha, na mangota punongila, ‘Munolekehe mundo hojho chajhenda kuhapatika na kulobhela, nkoche jwa akatola kode na bhibhabhii na uhakaho!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Nambo malango gha Chapanga ghalangiwe kubhehe ghambone kwa bhoha bhibhanyeketela.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Bhahe, mundo jhumo Mpwalichayo ajhakunalika Yecho ajhende kajhake akalyeghe ndalilo. Ndi ajhakujhenda munyumba jha Pwalichayo jhola na kutama kulyegha.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Bhahe, pakibha na mwikeghe jhumo pamuche gwenio jwabhii na uhakaho. Mwikeghe jwenio pajhohina Yecho abhii nkate mwa Pwalichayo atenda kulyegha, ajhakujhenda na chupa jhitengenichwe kwa lighanga lya alabachita nkate mwenio ghakibha mahuta ghighanungila petelele,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38peniya mwikeghe jhola ajhakuhika na kujhema kuyeto, na kubhandikila makongono gha Yecho, kongo atehila kulela na mahole ghake ghandonyikila mu makongono gha Yecho. Peniya ajhakuhungula makongono gha Yecho kwa majhunjo ghake na kuchopa makongono ghala na kughapaka mahuta ghakibha nagho.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Pwalichayo jhola jwanalike Yecho palolita naha, ajhakuwacha kumwojho gwake, “Chakaka mundo hojho ngabhehe nnondole jwa Chapanga, ngaumanyite mwikeghe hojho chabhile, kubhehe jhuna uhakaho!”When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Peniya Yecho ajhakunyangula jwenio Pwalichayo, alongila, “Simone, ngwete kilebhe cha kunobholela.” Na jwenio Simone ngajhangwila, “Chakaka mmola, dongela.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yecho ndi palongila, “Bhahe, pakibha na bhando bhabhele bhakajhenda kunnyahika mundo jhumo jwahenga lihengo lya kujhahikicha mbijha. Jhumo akajhahike mbijha makome amuchine na jhonge akajhahike mbijha makome nhwano.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Bhoha bhabhele pubhalepila kulepa maghambo ghabhe, mundo jwenio jwajhahikicha mbijha ajhakwalekekeya bhoha bhabhele. Bho, ndi ghane pakate jha bhabhele bheniya jwapala kumpala hake jhola jwajhahikicha?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simone ajhakujhanguu, “Puniwacha jwalekekiwe lighambo likolongwa jhola ndi nampala hake jwenio.” Yecho ajhakunobholela, “Unyangwii mbone.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Peniya Yecho ajhakughalambukila mwikeghe jhola na kunobholela Simone, “Bho, mumwene mwikeghe jhonjo, naha ndeka? Bhahe, nenga punyingila pakajha pino mukambekihe ndeka mache gha kughololela makongono ghango, nambo mwikeghe jhonjo akagholwile makongono ghango kwa mahole ghake na kuhunguu kwa majhunjo ghake.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Mwenga unyambwiche ndeka kwa kunjopa, nambo mwikeghe jhonjo punyingila tuu pambano alekite jhe kuchopa makongono ghango.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Nambo mwenga ukambakijhe mahuta pamuto gwango, mwikeghe jhonjo ambakite mahuta gighanungilila petelele makongono ghango.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Bhahe, ninobholela mwikeghe jhonjo chakaka alekekekiwe uhakaho gwamahele ndi nhwalo alangie ughano nkolongwa, nambo jwalekekewa pandina, jwenio upala pandina.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Papalapala Yecho ajhakughalambukila mwikeghe jhola, “Uhakaho gwino ghoha ulekekiwe.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Bhando bhala bhakibha nabho pakulyegha bhajhakukonyana, “Bho, ndi mundo ghane hojho jwahoto kulekekeya uhakaho?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jwenio Yecho ajhakunobholela mwikeghe jhola, “Kihobholelo chino kikombwile, nnyende kwa uteeke.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
