Luke 13 (NWW) · Opened

1Mu lisaa lilalila, akibhegha bhandu bhaanng'ombilite Yesu ya kya mihalo ya Akaagalilaya bha akomitwe na Pilato na mwahi ghwabhe ghukihanganganika na nyambi yabhe ya kuyochwa.At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2Yesu kakiakonya, “Munguhwacha kukita Akaagalilaya abho bhaakomitwe akibhegha na ulemwa kupitingana kwa Akaagalilaya bhangi bhoha?To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3Aka kaa, na mwenga handa malipetula ng'obhe maahwegha ubhwabhu abhu.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

4Ebu bhala bhandu mbinda mabhoko yimo na nane bha ahweghite kwa kuponekelwa na nnala akwo Siloamu, habhu munguhwacha kukita bhene akibhegha alemwa kupitingana kwa bhangi bhoha bhaatamiteghe ku Yelusalemu?Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?

5Nunguaghombela, aka kaa, na mwenga handa malipetula ng'obhe na kunbhuyila Chapanga, bhoha maakanjabhanika ubhwabhu abhu.”No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6Mbole Yesu kakiaghombela ndambulo ayi, “Mundu yumu kakibhegha na nkongo ghuukemitwe ntini ghuumelihitwe munng'unda ghwake ghwa misabibu, kakihika kupalaha tini munkongo ghwa tini, peni likinhobha ng'obhe na limo.Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

7Habhu kakinng'ombela nndumindumi ghwa nng'unda ghula, ‘Ghulole, kya ngungwa ndatu nikihika kupalaha mapambiko munkongo aghu ghwa tini, na likinhobha ng'obhe na limo. Hinu ghuudumule, kiyaha niki ghunguhanjaghana lutupi?’So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8Yula nndumindumi ghwa nng'unda kakinnyanga, ‘Bambo, ghuuleke kangi kwa ngungwa yimo, na nenga ndaghukimbulila lutupi na kughubhikila mbosela.‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9Handa paghupambika mapambiko mu ngungwa yipala kuhika yabhegha maha, hela bhubho ghuudumule.’ ”If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10Mu Linjubha limo lya kupumulila, Yesu kakibha pakihunda Mukitutubhi kimo kya kukonganila Akaayahudi.One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11Mu lisaa alyo alyo kakihika nndala yumo ywakabheghite na lindilu, naywo kakipimbitala nng'ongo kwa ngungwa mbinda mabhoko yimo na nane kubhukana na lindilu alyo, hangi kakihotola ng'obhe kuligholoha.and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12Yesu pakammonite kakinkema na kakinng'ombela, “Nhumbu, ghulamihwa utamwa ghwako.”When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13Kakinnyabhikila mabhoko kamu mmili ghwake ghukigholoka kangi na kakiyanda kuntika Chapanga.Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14Peni kilongohi ghwa kitutubhi kya kukonganila Akaayahudi kakikalala kiyaha Yesu kakinlamiha aywo nndala mu Linjubha lya Kupumulila. Hinu kakiaghombela bhala bhandu bha akwemukite pala, “Mmegha na manjubha nhano na yimo ya kutenda lihengo, mumanjubha agho ndo nhike kulamihwa, ngati ng'obhe mu Linjubha lya Kupumulila.”But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

15Peni Bambo kakinnyanga, “Mwenga maafyangu! Ndo ghani aywo munkati yenu mwene ywanga kulihughulila likambako lyake lya senga ebhu kaputa ghwake kuhuma mu lubhigho na kunng'egha pakulyegheha Mulinjubha lya Kupumulila?“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

16Hinu, ayu nndala, nhinja ghwa kibheleko kya Abulahamu, ywakabhopitwe na nchipila kwa ngungwa mbinda mabhoko yimo na nane, yikinoghela ng'obhe kuhughulighwa mu kibhopo akyo Linjubha lya Kupumulila?”Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17Yesu pakalongilite agha, amyanja bhake bhala bhaatamiteghe ulamo ghwa utyahe bhakibhona honi kiyaha bhandu bhakiyelelwa kwakya mihalo ya mihabho ghakaghatendite.When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

18Mbole Yesu kakikonya, “Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga ghungulihwana na niki? Na ndaghulandaniha na niki?Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

19Ghulihwana na mbeyu yiikemitwe haladali yiibheghite njoko mumo, mundu yumu kakiyitola na kuyimeleha munng'unda ghwake. Naywo yikimela, yikibha nkongo nkulu na hiyuni hya kunani akichenga hiyumba yabhe mumapanyo ghake.”It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

20Yesu kakiakonya kangi, “Ndaghuhwananiha Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga na niki?Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21Ghulihwana na linjacha, lyene nndala kakilitola na kulihangangana na hipalo indatu ya ukobha mbaka ghwoha ghukikwina.”It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22Yesu kakibhutukila mu hitami na hijiji pakilandamiha pakabheghite mu mwanja ghwake kughenda ku Yelusalemu.Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23Mundu yumo kakinkonya, “Bhuli Bambo, ndi bhandu bhaapala kulopoleghwa bhaabhegha bhamandina?” Yesu kakinng'ombela,“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24“Mulitumbe kuyingila kya kupitila nlyango ghuukepite, kiyaha nunguaghombela, bhandu atangalo bhatalitumba kuyingila peni bhaahotola ng'obhe.“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25Lisaa lya nkola kitutubhi pakapala kutata nlyango, maayima panje paankong'onda nlyango na pang'omba, ‘Bambo, Ghutuhughulile nlyango.’ Peni ywombe kataayanga, ‘Nubhamanya ng'obhe hangi kwoki kunhumite.’After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

26Na mwenga matanng'ombela, ‘Ndo tukinywegha na kulyegha papamu na ghwenga, kangi ghukituhunda mu hijiji hyetu!’Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27Peni ywombe kataayanga, ‘Ninguamanya ng'obhe mwenga ebu kunhumite. Nmuke kwa nenga, mwenga atenda ulemwa!’And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

28Apwo ndo maalila na kuhyagha mino, pannonda kummona Abulahamu na Isaka na Yakobu na ambuye bhoha bha Chapanga paakibhegha mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga, pala mwenga pantaghwa panji.There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

29Bhandu bhaahika kuhuma kumbande hyoha ya nnima, kungeha na kulutipikila luchubha, na Kukaskazi na kukusi, nabho bhaatama muchekwa mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga.People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30Nnole bhala bhaabheghite bhaunyuma bhaabhegha bhaulongolo nabho bhaulongolo bhaabhegha bhaunyuma.”And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

31Mu lisaa alyo amoo bha Akaafalisayo bhakinng'endela Yesu na bhaking'ombela, “Ghubhuke apa na ghughende pamoo pangi kiyaha Helode kangupala kughukoma.”At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

32Yesu kakiayanga, “Nng'ende mukanng'ombele yula kibweha naha, ‘Ndaghabhingabhinga mandilu na kughalamiha atamwa lelo na kilabho, na mu linjubha lya ndatu ndaliyomolela lihengo lyangu.’But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’

33Yingunnoghela kuyendelela na mwanja ghwangu lelo, kilabho na pamalabho, kiyaha yinoghela ng'obhe mbuye ghwa Chapanga kakomwe pa kitami kingi ngati nga pa Yelusalemu.”Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

34“Mwenga ma bhandu bha ku Yelusalemu! Ghwenga ghuakomagha mambuye bha Chapanga na kuatuta maganga bhala bhaalaghilitwe kwa mwenga! Palingi mbaliteghe kuakwemula bhana bhako papamu handa kiyuni pakaayubhatila bhana bhake mumambapatilo ghake kwakya kuakingikiha, peni ghukilema!O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

35Hinu nnole, Kitutubhi kya Chapanga ghwenu kyalekwa mang'obha, nunguaghombela mamona kangi ng'obhe mbaka lisaa lila panmbala kulongela, ‘Kanonelwa aywo ywakalaghilitwe kwa lihina lya Bambo.’ ”Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
