Luke 7 (MWE) · Opened

1Bhakabheleketeje gubhapinjile bhandu bhapilikananje gala, a Yeshu gubhapite kushilambo sha ku Kapalanaumu.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Kweneko bhashinkupagwa bhakulungwa bhamo bha manjola ga Bhaloma, bhenebho bhashinkukola ntumwa jwabho jubhampinjile kaje. Jwene ntumwajo atendaga lwala tome kuwa.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhakapilikaneje nnganya ja a Yeshu, gubhaatumilenje bhanangulungwa bha Bhayaudi bhajendangane bhakaajuganje a Yeshu bhakannamye ntumwa jwabho.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Bhakaikanganeje kwa a Yeshu gubhaashondelesheyenje kaje, bhalinkutinji, “Bhenebha inapwaa kwaatendela nneyo,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5pabha bhanakwapinganga bhandu bhetu, na bhashikutushenjela shinagogi jila.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Bhai a Yeshu gubhalongene nabhonji, bhandunji bhala. Bhali tome na ika ku likaja lya bhakulungwa bha manjola ga Bhaloma bhala, bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala gubhaatumilenje asha ambwiga ajabhonji kubhaalugulilanje a Yeshu kuti, “Mmakulungwa nnapunde kwiiabhuya, pabha nne nangali malango ga kumposhela mmwe nnyumba jangu.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.

7Na shiumilo niibhone nangali shanga sha kwiya kunngwenu mmwe. Ikabheje mmelekete lilobhepe na ntumwa jwangu shaalame.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Pabha nkali nne puni pai ja ukulungwa, pai jangu bhapalinji ashimanjola. Na nimmalanjiga linjola jumo, ‘Jenda’ alikwenda, nimmalanjilaga juna, ‘Jiya’ anakwiya, na nimmalanjilaga ntumwa jwangu, ‘Tenda ashi,’ najwalakwe alitenda.”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.”

9A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje genego bhashinkuimonga kaje, gubhatendebhwishe nikululola lugwinjili lwa bhandu bhaakagulangaga bhala, gubhashite, “Nganabhe kummona mundu akwete ngulupai jikulungwa nnei nkali kubhandu bha Ishilaeli.”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.”

10Bhandunji bhala bhakaikanganeje kumui, gubhanng'imenenje ntumwa jula alamile.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Lyubha lyolyo a Yeshu gubhapite kushilambo shimo shashemwaga ku Naini, bhali bhalongene na bhaajiganywa bhabho na likundi likulungwa lya bhandu.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Bhai, bhali tome na nnango gwa lugwani gwa jinjilila nshilambo mula, gubhakoposhelenje bhandunji bhajigelenje maiti gaka nngwendo jumo mwana jwa jikape jwa bhakongwe bha shitenga. Bhandunji bhabhagwinji bha shene shilambo shila pubhalinginji pamo na bhakongwe bha shitenga bhala.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.

13Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhoneje bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhonele shiya, gubhaalugulile, “Nnagute.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Kungai gubhapite kushikwaya shinanda shibhajigalilenje maiti shila, na bhajigelenje bhala gubhajimingene. Nigubhashite, “Nngwendo! Ngunakuubhalanjila, jinuka!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Nngwendo awile jula, gwajinwishe gwatemi, gwatandwibhe kubheleketa. A Yeshu gubhankamwiye kwa akwabhe.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Bhandu bhowe gubhajogopenje, gubhaainiyenje a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Ankulondola bhakulungwa bha a Nnungu bhakoposhele munkumbi gwetu. A Nnungu bhashikwiya kukwaajangutilanga bhandu bhabho.”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!”

17Jene nganijo jikushumaga ku Yudea kowe na ilambo ya tome.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana gubhaalugulilenje a Yowana yowe yatendekaga ila. Nabhalabho a Yowana gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19gubhaatumilenje ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhakaabhuyanje. “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”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?”

20Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakaaimananjeje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, Tushitumwa na a Yowana Bhaabhatisha tummuye kuti, “Bhuli, mmwe Bhaatapula bhakwiya bhala eu twaalindilile bhana?”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?’”

21Popo pepo a Yeshu bhatendaga kwaalamyanga bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalagangaga na ilwele na bhashikilwanga maoka na kwaapanganga kulola ashinangalole bhabhagwinji.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje. “Nnjendangane nkaabhalanjilanje a Yowana yowe impilikenenje na kwiilolela mmashayenenji, ashinangalole bhanalolanga, ashinangwabha bhanakwendangana, bhamangundula bhanalama, ashinangapilikane bhanapilikana, bhawilenje bhanayuywanga, na bhaalaga bhanalungushiywanga Ngani ja Mmbone.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.

23Mbaya jwene mundu ikakunshima kwa ligongo lyangu nne.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana bhakajabhulanganeje penepo, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaalugulilanga bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala nnganya ja a Yowana. “Pumwapitengenenje mukonde kukushibhona nndi? Mwaganishiyanga kukulibhona litete litikinywa na mbungo?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?

25Ikabhe nneyo, kumwapitengenenje kulola nndi? Kumwapitengenenje kukunnola mundu awalile nngubho ya bhei jikulungwa? Bhaawalanga nngubho ya bhei jikulungwa nitama ndamo ya poka mwaakutamangana mmajumba ga shipalume!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.

26Bhai, mmalanjilanje, mwapitengenenje kulola nndi? Mwapitengenenje kunnola nkulondola? Elo, numbe ngunakummalanjilanga, kupunda nkulondola.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Bhenebha ni a Yowana bhalugwilwe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo. ‘Ngunakuntuma muntenga jwangu, Anng'alashiye mpanda gwenu.’ ”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.’

28“Ngunakummalanjilanga, munkumbi gwa bhabhelekwenje jwakwapi ali jwankulungwa kwaapunda a Yowana Bhabhatisha. Ikabheje, jwene ali jwa nshoko kaje mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu, ni ali jwa nkulungwa kupunda bhenebho.”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.”

29Bhandu bhowe bhapilikenenje genego na nkali bhaakamula koli nigubhakundilenje kuti a Nnungu ni bha aki na bhanguja pabha bhashinkubhatishwanga na a Yowana.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ikabheje mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia, bhashinkukananga yatumbililwe na a Nnungu, kwa nneyo nigibhakanilenje kubhatishwa na a Yowana.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31A Yeshu nigubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai bhandu bha lwene lubhelekolu naalandanyanje na nndi? Paakulandananga na shindu shashi?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Bhashilandananga na bhana bhatemingene pa lubhala lwa ushiya indu, bhalishemananga ashayenenji. Twashinkunngombelenga imbeta, ikabheje mwangainanga! Twashinkunnjimbilanga nyimbo ya ililo ikabheje mmanganya mwangagutanga!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.’

33Pabha a Yowana bhashinkwiya, bhatendaga tabha na bhakang'waga divai, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Bhakwete lioka!’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Najwalakwe Mwana juka Mundu ashiika, analya na kung'wa, mmanganya gunshitenje. ‘Munnolanje, jwa doka na kolelwaju, mmbwiga nnjabhonji bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Nkali nneyo, lunda lwa a Nnungu lumanyishe kuti lwa mmbone na lwa aki kubhandu bhowe bhakundilenje.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Bhapalishayo bhamo bhashinkwaashemela shalya a Yeshu kunngwabho. Nigubhajinjile nnyumba ja a bhapalishayo bhala gubhatemi kulya shalya.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Bhai, pene pa shilambo pala, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhakwete yambi. Bhakapilikaneje kuti a Yeshu mubhali nnyumba ja a Palishayo bhala, gubhatolile shupa sha mauta ga nunjila shieleywe kwa liganga lya alabhashita.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Nigubhajimi tome na makongono ga a Yeshu bhaliguta, na minyoi jabho jilikwaandolishila a Yeshu mmakongono. Bhakongwe bhala gubhaponwele makongono ga a Yeshu kwa umbo yabho. Kungai gubhagalambile makongono gala na gubhaapekeye mauta ga nunjila gala.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.

39Bhapalishayo bhaashemile a Yeshu bhala, bhakagabhoneje genego, gubhaganishiye muntima gwabho, “Abha bhandubha kweli bhaakaliji ankulondola bha a Nnungu, ikaaliji bhamumanyi shibhali abha bhakongwe bhakwaakwayabha kuti bhakwete yambi.”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!”

40A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhapalishayo bhala, “a Shimoni, shipali shindu shingupinga kummalanjila.” Nabhalabho a Shimoni bhakwaalugulilaga, “Elo, mmelekete Mmajiganya.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41A Yeshu gubhashite, “Bhandu bhabhili bhashinkupolekanga ela kubhandu bhamo, bhamo libhalongwaga ligambo lya nshaala gwa shaka shimo na nushu, bhana ligambo lya nshaala gwa mwei gumo na nushu.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Bhakalepelanjeje kulipa magambo gabhonji, bhandu bhala gubhaaleshelelenje bhanaabhili. Lelo penepo munkumbi gwa bhene bhabhilibho, bhei shibhapunde kwaapinga bhaaleshelela magambo bhala?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43A Shimoni gubhajangwile, “Penepo imanyishe kuti, bhaleshelelwe ligambo likulungwa shibhapunde kwaapinjiya.” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Elo penepo nnjangwile ukoto.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Penepo gubhaatendebhushile bhakongwe bhala, nikwaalugulila a Shimoni, “Nnikwaabhona abha bhakongwebha? Nne punyinjile munngwenu muno mwangamba mashi ga nabha mmakongono gangu, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha bhashinyobhya makongono gangu na minyoi jabho nimbonola na umbo yabho.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.

45Mmwe mwanganyambata, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha shijinjilile nne apano bhatendaga nyambata makongono gangu.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Mmwe mwangambakaya mauta muntwe, ikabheje abha bhakongwebha bhashimbakaya mauta mmakongono gangu.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjila kupinjiya kwabho kwapunda kunalanguya kuleshelelwa kwa ilebho yabho yaigwinji. Aleshelelwe ilebho ishoko, kupinga kwakwe kushokope.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Bhai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwebhala, “Nneshelelwele yambi yenu.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Penepo bhatemingenenabho pashalya bhala gwaabhuyenenje, “Bhenebha bhandu bhashi, bhaakombola nkali kuleshelela yambi?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile bhakongwe bhala, “Ngulupai jenu jintapwile, nnjende kwa ulele.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
