Luke 7 (NWW) · Opened

1Mbole pakayomolite kulongela malagho agha ghoha na bhandu paannyihwite kakiyingila ku kitami kya Kapelinaumu.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Akwo kakibhegha nbhandwa yumu ghwa machonda kilongohi ghwa Akaalumi, mwene ywakannyelelitwe munu na nkulu ghwake, kakitopelwa utamwa na kakibhegha tepatepa paulili.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Kilongohi aywo ywa machonda pakayihwite mihalo ya Yesu, kakialaghila amoo akulu bha Akaayahudi kwa Yesu, ngati akannyupe kahike ngati kakanlamihe nbhandwa ghwa kilongohi aywo gwa amachonda.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Bhala hilongohi paahikite kwa Yesu bhakinnyupa kakanntangatile yula kilongohi ghwa amachonda paakilongela, “Mundu aywo yingunnogha kakatendelwe nnando aghwo,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5kiyaha kanguapala bhandu bhannima ghwetu, hila hila kakituchengela kitutubhi kyetu kya kukonganila.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Hinu Yesu kakilongohana nabho, peni pakabheghite kutali ng'obhe na lubhagha lwake, yula machonda kilongohi ghwa Akaaloma kakialaghila aghanja bhake kunng'ombela Yesu, “Bambo, ghukotoke kulighaha kiyaha nenga yingunnogha ng'obhe kwa ghwenga kuyingila payi ya lunyakaa lwangu.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.

7Ndo nikilibhona yingunnogha ng'obhe kughuhikila. Peni ghukwilikihe lilagho ghweka chake na nndumitumi ghwangu kaalama.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Kiyaha nenga ndo mundu niibheghite pahi ya makakala, megha na machonda bha abheghiti pahi ya nenga. Pa nunng'ombela ayu ‘Ghughende!’ Naywo kaaghenda, na ayu ‘Ghuhike!’ Naywo katahika. Panunng'ombela nbhandwa ghwangu ‘Ghutende aki!’ Ywombe kaatenda.”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.”

9Yesu pakayihwite malagho agho kakinkangacha munu, kakilupilukila lula lumati lwa bhandu luuntughilite, na kakiaghombela, “Nenga niyibhona ng'obhe hyubhalilo ngulu handa ayi hata Muakaaisilaeli.”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.”

10Bhala bhandu paabhuyite mulubhagha lwa nkulu ghwabhe bhakimmona yula nbhandwa kalama kala.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Mbole kya mandina Yesu kakighenda ku kitami kimo kikemitweghe Naini. Nabho ahundwa bhake na lumati lukulu lwa bhandu bhakilongohana papamu naywo.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Pakabheghite ugheghela na nlyango nkulu ghwa kitami, bhakikongana na bhandu bha ayeghite ntumba paakibhuka kughenda panje ya kitami. Aywo ywakahweghite kakibhegha mwana ghwa kighweka ghwa nndala nnekwa. Lumati lukulu lwa bhandu bha kitami kila lukibhegha papamu na nndala aywo.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.

13Bambo Yesu pakammonite yula nndala nnekwa, kakimmonela luhungu, kakinng'ombela, “Ghukotoke kulila.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Mbole kakiheghelela kuulongolo na kakikikamula kila kindanda kya kugheghela ntumba, na bhala bhandu bha alipapite bhakiyima jii. Yesu kakilongela, “Nhongolo, ningughughombela ghuyumuke.”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Yula nhongolo ywakahweghite kakitama na kakiyanda kuyobhela, naywo Yesu kakinkamuha kwa ma ghwake.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Bhandu bhoha bhakiyingilwa na lyogha lya Chapanga na bhakintika Chapanga paakilongela, “Mbuye nkulu ghwa Chapanga kabwituka kwa twenga, Chapanga kahika kubhalopoha bhandu 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!”

17Mihalu ayi yakayitendite Yesu yikikwila mu nnima ghwa Yudea hyoha na mu milima hyoha ya ugheghela.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Ahundwa bha Yohane yunakubatisa bhakinng'ombela Yohane mihalu ayi hyoha yakayitendite Yesu. Mbole Yohane kakiakema ahundwa bhake abhili,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19na kakialaghila kwa Bambo Yesu ngati bhakankonye, “Bhuli, ghwenga ndo yula ywakapala kuhika ywene ywakankambukite Yohane, ebu tunlindilile yungi?”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?”

20Bhala ahundwa paahikite kwa Yesu bhakinng'ombela, “Yohane yunakubatisa katulaghila tughukonye, ‘Bhuli, ghwenga ndo yula ywakapala kuhika ebu tunlindile yungi?’ ”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?’”

21Mulisaa alyo alyo, Yesu kakibhegha mukualamiha atamwa atangalo, na akwelitwe na mandilu, mandilu ghakialekekeha, ubhwabhu abhu bhangalola atangalo, kakiatenda abhone.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Ndo Yesu kakiayanga bhala bhaalaghilitwe, “Mmuye makanng'ombele Yohane ghoha ghamughabhonite na kughayihwa. Bhanga kubhona angubhona, ngwabhenghwabhe angutyanga, abheghite na maloha angughululwa, bhanga kuyihwa anguyihwa, bhaahweghite anguhyuka na akapukwa bhangughombelwa Nhalo ghwa Maha.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.

23Chapanga katannonela mundu yula ywakabheghite ng'obhe na nyengema na nenga.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Pabhabhukite ahundwa bha Yohane, Yesu kakilughombela lula lumati lwa bhandu, mihalu ya kya Yohane, “Pamughendite kumanyahi nyahi mukighenda kulola niki? Bhuli, mukighenda kubhona lunyahi paluyukwa na liyegha?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?

25Handa ng'obhe, mukighenda kubhona niki? Akakaa bhandu ahwalite maghwanda na mapinda matandamaho na kutama ulami ghwa utyahe angutama mu hitutubhi hya ghubhutwa.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.

26Peni mukighenda kubhona niki? Mukighenda kummona mbuye? Kulyaghila ninguaghombela yunummonite kakibhegha kupitingana kwa mbuye ghwa Chapanga.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Kiyaha Yohane ndo mwene matyeko mang'anyimo ghangulongela kukita, ‘Nnole nungunlaghila nndumitumi ghwangu, kakaghulongolele kukutendekehela njila yako.’ ”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.’

28Yesu kakiyomola kwa kulongela, “Nunguaghombela bhoha kukita mu anabhandu bhoha bha atamiteghe mu nnima kahone ywakabheghite nkulu kupitingana kwa Yohane, peni ywakabheghite nndokwa mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga aywo ndo nkulu kupitingana 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.”

29Bhandu bhoha na asumula sumu paayihwite mihalo ya Yesu, bhakiyitikila kukita nnando ghwa Chapanga ghukibha ghwa maha, abho ndo bhala bhaayitikilite kubatiswa na Yohane.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Peni, Akaafalisayo na ahunda bha malaghilo bhakighulema nnando ghwa Chapanga kwabhe, kiyaha bhakilema kubatiswa na Yohane.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Ndo Yesu kakighendelela kulongela, “Bhandu bha kibheleko aki nibhahwananihe na kilibhi kyoki? Ndo bhandu bha kya bhuli?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Bhene abhegha handa bhana bhaatamite mu ligulio. Paakemana bhene kwa bhene pa akilongela, ‘Tukiapyembela lupalata peni mukikina ng'obhe, tukiayimbila nhambo ghwa kuhyononeha peni mukilila ng'obhe’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.’

33Kiyaha Yohane yunakubatisa kakibhegha pakalyeghagha ng'obhe lingate ebu kakinywegha difwai, mwenga mukilongela, ‘Kana lindilu!’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Mwana ghwa Mundu kahika kunu pakalyegha na kunywegha na mwenga mungulongela, ‘Nlole, nhukila aywo na nnobhi, nng'anja ghwa asumula sumu na bhana ulemwa bhangi!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Hata habhu Malangu gha Chapanga ghangubhoneha uhoto kwa bhoha bhanakughakingama.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Nfalisayo yumo kakinnyupa Yesu kaghende kulubhagha lwake kwakya hilyo, hinu Yesu kakighenda kulubhagha lwa nfalisayo aywo na kakitama kulyeghela hilyo.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Mukitami kila pakibhegha nndala yumo yunaulemwa, pakamanyite kukita Yesu kakibhegha mulubhagha lwa Nfalisayo, yula nndala kakitola kyupa kya liganga lya alabasita kimemikihitwe mahuta ghanakunungila maha munu.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Kakihika na kakiyima ugheghela na maghulu gha Yesu, pakalila, na mahohi ghake ghakinponekela Yesu mumaghulu ghake. Nndala aywo kakighapukuta maghulu gha Yesu kwa hwili hyake. Mbole kakighachwembula maghulu gha Yesu na kughatyeka ghala mahuta ghaanungila.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.

39Yula Nfalisayo ywakanlalikite Yesu pakabhonite agho, kakihwacha mumwoyo ghwake, “Handa Mundu ayu kangabheghite mbuye ghwa Chapanga ghwa hoto kangamanyite kukita nndala ayu ghwa kya bhuli na kukita nndala ayu kanaulemwa.”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!”

40Yesu kaking'ombela aywo Falisayo, “Simoni, megha na nhalo ghwa kughughombela.” Simoni kakinnyanga, “Mwika Nhunda, ghung'ombele.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41“Pakibhegha na nkulu yumo yunakuayahikila ngalabha bhandu abhili, yumu kakinnyahika hipalamande hya ngalabha mbinda mabhoko kumi nhano na yungi hipalamande ya ngalabha mbinda mabhoko kumi.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Bhoha abhili bhakilepelwa kubhuyiha ngalabha yila, na yula mundu kakialekekeha bhoha. Hinu ndo ywoki mu abha abhili katampala munu yula nkulu?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simoni kakinnyanga, “Ninguhwacha katabhegha yula ywakalekekehitwe ngalabha ngulu.” Yesu kakinng'ombela, “Ghutosa maha.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Mbole Yesu kakinkilibhukila yula nndala na kakinng'ombela Simoni, “Hinu, ghungummona nndala ayu? Panyingilite mu lubhagha lwako ghukimbegha ng'obhe machi gha kukuha maghulu ghangu, peni nndala ayu kanng'ulula maghulu ghangu kwa mahohi ghake na kakighapukuta kwa hwili hyaki.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.

45Ghukinamuha ng'obhe kya kunjwembula, peni nndala ayu kakileka ng'obhe kughachwembula maghulu ghangu kutandila pa hikite.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ghukindyeka ng'obhe mahuta gha seituni mumutwe ghwangu, peni mwene kakighatyeka maghulu ghangu mahuta ghanakunungila.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Hinu nungughughombela ulemwa ghwake ghuubheghite ghwa mahele ghulekekehwa, kiyaha kaghubhoneha upalo ghwa mahele. Peni yula ywakalekikihitwe kya mandina kaapala kya mandina.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Mbole Yesu kakinng'ombela yula nndala, “Ghulekekehwa ulemwa ghwako.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Peni bhala bhaatamite papamu naywo mu hilyo, bhakiyanda kughombana bhene kwa bhene, “Mundu ayu ndo ghani mbaka kabhe na makakala gha kulekekeha ulemwa?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Yesu kakinng'ombela yula nndala, “Uhyubhalilo ghwako ghukulopoha, ghughende kwa uhihimilo.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
