Luke 13 (WBI) · Opened

1ku nsiki ughuo, kulyale na vaanhu vamonga valyampelile imhola savaGalatia vano u Pilato alyavabudile na kuhasing'ani a ni danda sa vanave.At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2uYesu akavamula akavavula, “pe musagha kuuti avagalilaya avuo valyale ni sambi kukila avagalilaya avange voni fyenambe ghavaghile amavivi aghuo?To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3Nambe, nikuvavula neke nave namulata najumue mulibudua vule vule.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

4nambe avaanhu vala kijigho nu ntanda ku Siloamu vanoghukaghua na kuvabuda, musagha aveene valyale vanya sambi kukila avaanhu avange 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?

5Nambe, une niti, neke nave namulata najumue mweni mufua.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6uYesu akavavula ikihwani iki,” umuunhu jumonga layale nu mpiki ghuvyalilue mu mughunda ghwa mwene, akaluta kulonda imheeke mu mpiki ghula neke nakaghaghile.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.

7akam'bula juno ilolelela umughunda ghula, “lola mu maka ghatatu nisile na kughela kulonda imheeke mumpiki ughu neke nanipatile. udumule ulwakuva ghunangania ilihanga.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?’

8juno ilolelela umughunda akati, “ughuleke umwaka ughu neke nipile na kukuvikila imbolela.‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9nave ghihola imheeke umwaka ghuno ghukwisa ke kanono, neke nave naghuhola nikughudumula.If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10lino uYesu alyale ivulanisia mu nyumba jimonga ija kufunyila unsiki ghwa Sabati.One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11lola, pwe alyale umukimama jumonga juno ku maka kijigho nu ntanda alyale ni lipepo ililamafu lwa vuvotevote, umwene alyale mughogholo naalyale iwesia kukwima na kugholoka.and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12uYesu ati amwaghile an'kemheela akam'bula, “mama uvikilue vwavuke kuhuma mu vuvotevote vwako.”When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13akavika amavoko ghake pa kyanya jake, pe um'bili ghwake ghukagholoka ghwope akamughinia uNguluve.Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14neke um'baha ghwa nyumba jila ja kufunyila akakalala ulwakuva uYesu alya nsosisie ikighono kya Sabati. pe untavulua akamwamula akalivula ilipugha,”kuli ni fighono, fino luvaghile kuvoma imbombo. mwise kusosia himbe, nakwekuti kikighono kya sabati kyene.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.”

15uMutwa akamwamula akati, “vakitule! nakwale nambe juno kulyumue juno idindulila idogovi nambe ing'ombe jako kuhuma muluvagha na kukuvalongosia kuluta kunyua ikighono kya Sabati?“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?

16pe lino umhinja ghwa Ibulahamu, juno uSetano an'dindile ku maka kijigho nu ntanda, pe nalukamunoghile umhinja jula kusosivua ikighono kya Sabati.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?”

17pano alyale ijova amasio aghuo, voni vala vano valyale vikumpinga vakavona soni, pe ilipugha ilikome lya vange vakalulutila vwimila sino sinoavombile.When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

18uYesu akati, “uvwimike vwa Nguluve vuhwanine ni kiki, kange niwesia kuling'anisia ni kiki?Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

19ji ghwene mbeju jino umuunhu atolile na kuluta kuvyala ku mughunda ghwake, jikalela na kuva mpiki n'kome, ni njuni sa kukyanya sikatenda ifivwasu fyave mu matafi 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.”

20kange akati, “nivuling'anisie ni kiki uvwimike vwa Nguluve?Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21ki kwene kilule kino un'dala itola na kuhasing'ania jujuo ifipimilo fitatu fya vutine nambe kughumuka”It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22uYesu alyaghendile mu mapulo ni fikaaja kuluta ku Yelusalemu na kuvavulanisia.Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23umuunhu jumonga akaposia akati, “Mutwa, ve vaanhu vadebe vano vilipokua”. pe lino akavavula akati,”“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24mujilolelelaghe kukilila umulyango unsekele, ulwakuva vinga vighela na kukunua kukwingila.“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25pambele unyanyumba ati imile na pidinda umulyango, pe mulikwima panji na kuhodesia na kuuti, Mutwa, Mutwa, tudindulile umwene ikuvamula na kwiti, 'nanivamanyile umue nambe kuno muhuma'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.’

26pe muliti, 'tukalile na pinyua pavulungolo pako nuve ukatuvulanisie mu fikaaja fitu'Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27neke umwene ikivamula, nikuvavula nanivamanye kuno muhuma, vuka palyune umue mwe vavomba vuhosi.And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

28kwe kuliva na kulila kisila vusililo unsiki ghuno mulikuvagha uAbulahamu, Isaka nu Yakovo na vavili voni ku vwimike vwa Nguluve, neke umue jumue mutaghilue kunji.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.

29vikwisa kuhuma imbale sooni, nakupuma pa mesa ja kyakulia kya pakivwilile mu vutwa vwa Nguluve.People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30kagula ili kuuti, ughwa vusililo ghwe ghwa kwanda nu ghwawanda iiva ghwa vusililo”.And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

31unsiki undebe pambele, avafalisayi vamonga valisile na kukum'bula kuuti, “luta na kuvuka apa ulwakuva uHelode ilonda kukubuda”.At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

32uYesu akati, “mulute mukakivule ikikanu, kila, lola nikughadagha amapepo na kusosia umusyughu nu lyakilavo, ni kighono kya vutatu nitekelesia uvufumbue vwango.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.’

33ku lwolwoni lunoghile vwimila jango kughedelela umusyughu, ulwakilavo ni fighono fino fikwisa, ulwakuva najikwiting'ana kum'buda m'bili kutali ni 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.

34Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu ghwe veni juno ikivabuda avavili na kukuvatova amavue vala vano vasung'ilue kulyumue. ke kalingi ninoghilue kuvakong'ania avaanha vinu ndavule ing'uku vule jikong'ania ifayana fyake mumbavatilo sake. neke ili namukalighanile.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!

35lola ujilekile inyumba jako. najune nukivavula, namungawesie kukunyagha nambe mungati, 'afunyilue ujuo juno ikwisa ku litavua lya mutwa”.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.’”
