Luke 7 (ISN) · Opened

1U Yesu naiwakondya kuligitya imaintu izi iantu naiamutegeye, akingila ku Kapernaumu.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Mtungwa ung'wa ung'wi wang'wa akida, aimuza nangulu kitalakwe ai mulwae tai hangi aukuhiaukusha.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Ingi aiwijaa itendo yang'wa Yesu, uyo u Akida akamutuma umomboi wa kiyahudi, kumulompa aze kumuguna umutugwa akwe aleke kusha.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Naiapikile kakupi nu Yesu, ikamlompa akalunga, utakiwe witume uu kunsoko akwe.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Kunsoko umiloilwe izi itu, ng'wenso akazenga itekeelo kunsoko itu.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6U Yesu akendelea ni muhinzo wakwe palung'wi ni enso naiwakuli kulongola kuli ni nyumba, mukulu wang'wi auatumile lahumba uya aligitye nu ng'wenso tata iekakukatala uewe kunsoko unene singa faile iewe kingila mudari ane.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.

7Kunsoko iyi shaaza singie unene ung'wenso kutula faile kuza kitalako, ingi tambula ulukani du umitumi wane akomye.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Kuniki unene hangi ni muntu nuikilwe muukulu hangi nyenyu nitalishi pihi ane. Wilunga kung'wa uyo, “Longola” na ulongole, nukumungiza, “Nzuu” nung'wenso wizaa nukumitumi wane itume iki nung'wenso wituma.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.”

9U Yesu naiwigule aya akakuilwa, nukuapilukila umilondo naumtyatile nukulunga kumuila ata ku Israeli iza nkili kuona umuntu nukite uhuili nukulu anga uyu.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.”

10Ingi awaite naiatumilwe aiasukile kito ikamuhanga umukulu mupangau.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Naitumile nanso, aeipumie u Yesu aulongoe mukisali nikitangwa Naini, iamanyisigwa akwe ikalongola palung'wi nung'wenso ikakuile niauntu idu.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Naupikile pakupi nitanilyo lakisali goza, muntu nukule akizukekilwe, hangi ng'wana wing'wene kung'wa nyinya akwe, naukali muhimbi numilundo ikatuula palung'wi nung'wenso.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.

13Naumuine, utata akamuhugela kwa uwai nukulu itai migulya akwe nukumuila, liekakulila.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Ingi akahugela akalianka isandiko nailikenkee umuimba, nawanaiakenkile ikimika ikalunga umuhumba nungile uka.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Umushi akauka nukikie pihii nukaza kuligitya hangi u Yesu akamupa unyinya wakwe.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Hangi ikizuilwa nuoa ihi. Ikalongoleka kumukulya Itunda akizilunga “Munyakidagu mukulu uukigwe kukiila kumataitu” nu Itunda ukugozile iantu akwe.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!”

17Izinkani ni nzaa ni yang'wa Yesu aisambaie ku Yudea ihi niisali yihi niapakupii.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Iamanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana aiamuie inkani izi yihi.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Ingi Yohana akaitanga abili iamanyisigwa akwe nukuatuma kung'wa tata, kulunga uewe ng'wenso uyu nuzile, ang'wi ukole muntu mungiza kumulindile?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?”

20Naiapikile pakupi nu Yesu nianso ikalunga, Yohana mubadisigwa ukutumile kitalako kulunge. Uewe u ng'wenso nuzile ang'wi ukole muntu mungiza kumugezele?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?’”

21Imatungo yayo auagunile iantu idu, kupuma mdwala numulwago, kupuma mukolo nibii, niantu niakete upoku ikaona.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22U Yesu akasukilya nukulunga kitalao, ingi naimulongoe naiapumie mukumulagilwa u Yohana ikinimukiine nukukija, awaniapoku akuona niakitele akugenda, niakite imbili akunona, iagulu ainija, iashi ahimbuka nukutula apanga hangi iahimbi akuilwa ulukani nuluza.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.

23Umuntu nushukuleka kunihuila unene kunsoko auitumi wane ukukendepwa.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Ao naiatumilwe nu Yohana kusuka naiapumie, Uu Yesu akandya kuligitya numilundo kunsoko ang'wa Yohana, aimendile kunzi kugoza ntuni, uwelu auukuhingisigwa nu ng'wega?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?

25Azamendile kunzi kugoza ntuni, muntu nutugae izaane? Goza iantu niatugae inguo yakitemi nukikie ulikalo nuluza akole niang'wi akete ilyoma anga iatemi.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.

26Ite minzu kunzi kugoza ntuni, muntu mnyakidagu? Ingi kulunga kitalanyu niidu itai kukila umnyakidagu.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Uyu yuyu nauandikiwe, “Goza, kumtuma mitumi wane ntongela a miho anyu, nukunonelya inzila kunsoko ane.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.’

28Nungile kitalanyu, kukiila ao naiatugilwe numusungu, kutile numukulu anga Yohana, ingi umuntu ishanga wati nuhumile kikie nu Itunda kung'wanso nukoli nuanso, ukutula mukulu kukila u Yohana.”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.”

29Ni antu ihi naiigulwe aya palung'wi niahoela mpia aiatanantilye Itunda ukete Itai. Aiakoli niang'wi naiabadisigwe nu ubadizo wang'wa Yohana.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ingi imafarisayo nia zaa akani ya kiyahudi awa nishaaiabadisigwe nung'wenso aiahitile itai ang'wi Tunda kunsoko ao ienso.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Hangi nihumile kumipyana ni ntuni antu nia uleli uwu? Akoli uli hangi?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Impyani niangenya, niakigisa mumpelo isoko, niikie nukuitanga ung'wi ung'wi nukulunga, kupembile ipilimbi kunsoko anyu, shanga miginsile kiaiye shanga muliile.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.’

33U Yohana mubadisi auzile shanga aulie hangi shanga aung'wee imagai, mikalunga ukite amitunga.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Ung'wa muntu uzile walya nukung'wa mikalunga, “Gozi mulaku mugala ntuli, muhumamuya wa ahoela mpia nia anyamilandu!The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Ingi uhuili wigeleka kina ukite itai ku anaako ihi.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Ung'wi wa mafarisayo aumulompile u Yesu alongole kulya palung'wi nung'wenso. U Yesu naiwingila munyumba ang'wa farisayo, akahegamila mumeza alye.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Goza aukoli musungu ung'wi mukisali nikanso naukete imilandu, Akalinga kumbi wikie kung'wa farisayo, akaleta insupa na makuta nimaza.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Aiwimikile kunyuma akwe kakupi ni migulu akwe kunu akizilila. Hangi akizitontwa imigulu akwe kulihali, nukupyagula kumasingi amitwe lakwe, akamibusu imigulu akwe nukumipaka imakuta nimaza.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.

39Nung'wenso u farisayo aumanile u Yesu nauine uu, akasiga ung'wenso akalunga, umuntu uyu angaaizi munyakidagu, auziliga uyu nyenyu nu wanamuna ki umusungu nukumupapatwa, ukutula mnyamilandu.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!”

40U Yesu akasukilya nukumuila, Simoni nkite kitu kakuuila. “Akalunga” “Kitambule udu ngwalimu!”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41U Yesu akalunga, “Aiakole adaigwa abili kumukopisi ung'wi. Ung'wi audaigwe magana miatano nua akabili dinari hamusini.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Naiatuile agila impia nia kumulipa ikalekelwa ihi. Nuuli nukumulowa mbelee?When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43U Simoni akasukilya nukulunga, nsigile uyu nutekewe u Yesu akamuila, ulamue itai.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44U Yesu akamupilukila umusungu nukumuila u Simoni umuine ne umusungu uyu. Ningie munyumba ako. Shangaupee imazi kunsoko amigulu ane. Ingi umusungu uyu, kuliholi lakwe akatontwa imigulu ane nukumipyagula kuisingi lakwe.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.

45Shanga azunungie, nuanso nazawingia muno sigulekile kunungila imigulu ane.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Shaazumipakile imigulu ane imakuta, ingi umipakile imigulu ane kumakuta nimaza.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Ku lukani uli, nukuuila ingi aukite imilandu nidu ingi wasamihilwa itai, hangi akalowa itai. Ingi uyu nusamihiwe inino, nuilowa inino du.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Itungo akamuila umusungu, “Imikindo ako asamihilwa.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Nawa naiikie pameza palung'wi nung'wenso ikandya kiligitya enso ku enso, “Uyu nyenyu nukusamihila imilandu?But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Nu Yesu akamuila umusungu, uhuili wako wakuguna. Longola ku uhuili”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
