Luke 13 (SBS) · Opened

1Cheyo nako vantu vamwi vava mu wambili cha Magalileya avo, malaha, avo, a va kopanyi Pilato ni zitabelo zavo.At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2Jesu ave tabi nati ku vali, Linu muhupula kuti avo Magalileya vena zivi zingi kuhita Magalileya vonse vava nyandiswa che nzila iyi?To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3Nanta, ni mi wambila. Niti, heva ni mu sa lisa lichuli zivi zenu muvonse mo mufwe munzila iswana.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

4Ni heva vantu vene kumi ni valikana iyanza ni vo tatwe, va zwa mwa Siloe avo itawala iva wili ni ku ve haya, muhupula kuti va vena zivi kuhitiliza vamwi vakwame mwa Jerusalema?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?

5Nanta, niti kwenu, heva ni musa lichuli zivi zenu mu vonse momu fwe.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6Jesu ava wambi inguli iyi, muntu zumwi ava vyali isamu lye feiga mwi wa lyakwe lye veine, linu neza kulola kwateni zi hantu ze veine cheza kuvula na nga konke.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.

7Mukwame, nati ku mulimi, lole, cheli zilimo zo tatwe nini za kulola zi hantu kweli samu kono kani wani nanga konke. Liteme, liwe bulyo. Chinzi holi silile ni lishinye vuu?'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?’

8Mulimi, ne tava nati, 'Mu siye vulo, chinu chilimo, nili, limine ni ku livika mununo.‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9Heva mu livike, zi, hantu, chilimo chi keza, ku lotu, linu, heva ka liviki, mu liteme liwe.'”If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10Linu, Jesu avali ku ruta mwi Sinagoge, le nsavata.One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11Muvone, mwanakazi a vena mwa teni ke zi limo zine kumi ni zi likana iyanza, ni zo tatwe, nena luhuho lubi lwa kufokola, linu, chava koteme musana kana vali ku wola kuzima.and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12Linu, Jesu nga amu vona, ava sumpi kwali nati, “Mwanakazi, niti, chi wa sumununwa ku manyando ako.When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13Cha vika manza heulu lya kwe, mi chenako yonke, cha oloka mi chatemba Ireeza.Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14Linu Mukulwana we Sinagoge cha venga ahulu che vaka lyo kuti Jesu ava hozi mwanakazi mwi zuva lye nsavata. Linu muyendisi we Sinagoge ne tava ku chicava nati, kwina mazuva alikane yanza ni zuva limwina, mazuva etu swanela ku seveza. mwize muhozwe, nanta lye nsavata.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.”

15Ireeza na mwi tava nati, Inwe mulihele kana kete musumunune imbongolo kapa Iñombe kuitwala ku kunywa menzi le nsavata?“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?

16Linu kozu mwana Abrahama yava suminwe kwa Satani zi limo cha zi limo zine kumi ni zilimo zilikane ya nza ni zilimo zo tatwe, linu kene nswanelo yakwe kuti a sumununwe mwi zuva lye nsavata?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?”

17Sina hava wambi izi zintu, vonse va vali kumu sheununa, vava swabi ahulu. Linu, chonse chi chava chiva sangi ahulu ni kumu temba cha zintu za vatendi.When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

18Linu, Jesu chati, muvuso we Reeza wina vule? Imi ka ni u vambaye ni chi?Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

19Kukola uvu lutanga lwe samu luva sohelwa mwiwaa, ni ku kula kuva isamu ikando, mi zizuni zewulu chiza zaka zizumbo kumitavi.”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.”

20Hape chati, “Kani uvambanye nichi muvuso we Reeza?Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21Ku swana sina mulungo wava kopanyi mwanakazi muvusu vwavu roto kuti vu funduluke chi vukopene neza ni vusu vwa vuroto.It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22Jesu ava poteli mileni ni minzi havena munzila kuya kwa jerusalema niku va ruta.Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23Zumwi chati kwali, “Simwine, na vache feela vantu vete vapuluswe?” Cwale cha wamba kuvali,“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24Mu lwile kwinjila mu mulyango u kumbene, kakuti, niti kwenu, bungi mu vatavele kwi njila, kono kete va wole kwi njila.“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25Linu mwine we nzuvo havuka, mi cheyela mulyango, linu kamu zimane hanze ni mungongota, ni muti, Simwine, Simwine tusiye twinjile,' Mi ketave ni kucho kwenu, kani mizi inwe kapa muka zwila kuhi.'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.’

26Linu ka mu wambe, 'Tuvali ni ku nywa havusu bwako mi uva ruti mu makululu etu,Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27linu ketave nati, niti kwenu, kani mizi ku mu kazwila. Muzwe kwa ngu, Inwe mutenda zivi.And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

28Ka valile ni ku kwenga meeno, chi va vona Abrahama, Isaaka, ni, Jakobo ni vonse va polofita mu muvuso we Reeza,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.

29Linu inwe - inwe ka mu zindilwe hanze. Ka vasike kuzwililila ku vuzwe, ku vwimino, upa ni mbowela, ni kwi kala he ntafule mu vuso we Reeeza.People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30Mwizive izi, va ma manikizo kava ve ventanzi, ventanzi kavave va ma manikizo.And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

31Che nakozana Vafarisi chiveza mi chivati kwali, “Yende mi wikale kunu kakuti Heroda usaka ku kwi haya.At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

32Jesu chati, Muyende mi mu ka wambile zuna Luwawa, “vone, ni zwisa madimona, ni kuhoza va lwala sunu, ni zona ni lya vutatu ni sika ku mamani a musevezi wangu.'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.’

33Linu ni hakuva vulyo, kuni swanela ku zwila havusu lya sunu, sina haku sa zumi ninwe kwi haya mupolofita kule ni Jerusalema.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.

34Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wi haya va polofita ni kuva zinda mavwe avo vava tuminwa kwenu. Chini lakaza ku kunganya vaana venu sina uvu inkuku ikunganya vaana vayo mu mavando, kono ka mu lakazi vulyo.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!

35Voone, inzuvo yako ikendetwe. Ni wamba kwako, kete uni vone konji chi wati,' Imbuyoti nji yozo yo keza mwi zina lya Simwine Reeza.”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.’”
