Luke 7 (ZAJP) · Opened

1Yesu viyeshile kulonga mbuli zino zose mwa wanhu, kachola kukiwambo cha Kapenaumu.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Mkulu wa asikali mia wa Loma kakala na nyakadala yakalile yamnogele ng'hani, ija inyakadala kakala mtamu ng'hani behi na kudanganhika.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Ija imkulu wa iwaasikali mia wa Loma viyahulike singilimo za Yesu, kawatuma wakulu wa Wayahudi wakamulongele yeze yamuhonye nyakadala wake.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Viwavikile ha Yesu, wamuyalalila, wolonga, “Munhu ino kalumba kutendeligwa mbuli ino,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5kwavija kawanogela wanhu zetu, na heyo iyo yatuzengele ng'anda yetu ya nhambiko.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Avo Yesu kachola na hewo, viwavikile behi na ing'anda, ija imkulu wa iwaasikali mia wa Loma kawalagiza wambwiga zake wamulongele Yesu vino, “Mndewa, sambiugaye, nie silumbile gweye wize wingile mng'anda yangu,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.

7kileka nivigesile kamba silumbile kwiza hamwako nene mwenyego, ila longa mbuli! Na nyakadala wangu kohona.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Nie vivija na munhu nikigwe hasi ya udaho wa wakulu zangu wa uchana yangu, na nna asikali hasi yangu. Nihamulongela ino, ‘Genda!’ kochola, nihamulongela ija, ‘Izo!’ kokwiza, na nihamulongela nyakadala wangu, ‘Tenda vino!’ kotenda.”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 viyahulike gano, kamkanganya munhu ija, kahinduka kuchugu na kudilongela dale da wanhu dikalile dimsondolela, “Nowalongela, sinakona nhamanila ng'hulu kamba ino, hata mwa wanhu wa Islaeli!”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.”

10Waja watumigwe wabwela kung'anda ya ija imkulu, wam'vika nyakadala wake kahona.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Mkipigiti kiguhi Yesu kachola hakiwambo kikemigwa Naini, kailongoza na wanahina zake na dale kulu da wanhu.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Viwavikile halwivi lwa ikiwambo, wanhu wakalile wapapile munhu yadanganhike wakala wolawa hanze ya ikiwambo. Mmhale yakalile yaleligwe yeiyeka na mtwanzi imwe yakalile kizuka, na dale kulu da wanhu kulawa mkiwambo dikala hamoja na ija imtwanzi.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.

13Mndewa Yesu viyamuwene, kamonela bazi, kamulongela, “Sambiulile.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Abaho, kachola haulongozi na kulukwasa ulusazi, avo wanhu waupapile wema. Yesu kalonga, “Mmhale, nokulongela, lamuka!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Ija immhale yadanganhike kenuka, kakala ukala, kasonga kulonga. Yesu kamgwelela mamaake.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Wanhu wose wona bwembwe wamuyenzi Mulungu, walonga, “Muhokozi mkulu koneka hamwetu, Mulungu keza kuwakombola wanhu zake.”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!”

17Mbuli zino za Yesu zenela muisi yose ya Yudea na isi za mmambwegambwega.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Wanahina wa Yohana viwamulongele mbuli zino zose, kawakema wabili mmwanza wao,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19na kuwalagiza wachole ha Mndewa wakamuuze vino, “Yohana kalonga, gweye iyo mkombola yondayeze? Ama tumtamanile iyagwe?”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?”

20Wanhu waja viwavikile ha Yesu, walonga, “Yohana M'batiza katulagiza yolonga tukuuze, ‘Gweye iyo yondayeze, ama tumtamanile iyagwe?’ ”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?’”

21Kipigiti kikija Yesu kawahonya wanhu bwando wakalile na vitamu na utamu, na awo wakalile na vinyamkela, na kuwatenda vimbugumbugu bwando wadahe kulola.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Kawalongela waja wasenga wa Yohana, “Gendeni mkamulongele Yohana gaja gamonile na kugahulika, vimbugumbugu wolola, mbetembete wotembela, wali na dikulu wohonyigwa, vinziwi wohulika, wadanganhike wowa wagima kabili, na Usenga Unogile wopetigwa mwa wakumbulu.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.

23Wamota wanhu awo walibule ving'hwaso na sang'hano zangu.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Wasenga wa Yohana viwacholile, Yesu kasonga kumulonga Yohana haulongozi wa dale da wanhu, yolonga, “Vumcholile ha Yohana kuluwala, mtamanila kona choni? Ludete lutigiswa na beho?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?

25Mchola kulola choni? Munhu yavalile vivalo vinogile ng'hani? Wanhu wovala kamba avo na kukala vinogile wa mming'anda ya kindewa!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.

26Nongeleni, mchola kulola choni? Muhokozi? Ona, ila nowalongela, yummonile kana ukulu kubanza muhokozi.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Yohana iyo munhu Nyandiko Zing'alile zimulonga, ‘Mulungu kalonga, nomulagiza msenga wangu yakulongole, yondayaitande nzila 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 kongeza kulonga “Nowalongela, wanhu wose waleligwe na watwanzi, haduhu yali mkulu kum'banza Yohana. Ila yali mdodo ng'hani muna Uundewa wa Mulungu iyo mkulu kum'banza Yohana.”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.”

29Wanhu wose, hata wawila kodi, viwazihulike mbuli za Yesu, watogola kamba nzila ya Mulungu igoloka, kwavija wakala wabatizigwe na Yohana.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ila Mafalisayo na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wagalema gaja gayalondile kutenda Mulungu kumwao kwavija walema kubatizigwa na Yohana.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Vino niwalinganyize na choni wanhu wa mazua gano? Walinga na wanhu walihi?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Walinga na wana wakalile hadibugano da soko. Dale dimwe dowalongela dale diyagwe, ‘Tuwatoela ngoma ya lusona lwa zengele, ila mweye ham'vinile! Twimba vawembaga hauzisi, ila mweye hamulilile!’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.’

33Yohana M'batiza keza kafunga na hang'wile divai, na mulonga, ‘Kana kinyamkela!’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Nie, Mwana wa Munhu, niza, noja na kung'wa, mulonga, ‘Loleni munhu ino, mmelo na mng'waji, mbwiga wa wawila kodi na wene vilozo wayagwe!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Kwa vovose vija ng'hungwe ya Mulungu yonekaga mmeso ga awo wose waitogole.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Mfalisayo imwe kamulonda Yesu yeze kuja na heyo mandia ga ikilo, avo Yesu kachola hang'anda ya ija Mfalisayo, kakala hasi yaje.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Mkiwambo kija kukala na mtwanzi imwe yakalile yotenda vilozo mazua gose. Kahulika Yesu kakala yoja mng'anda ya Mfalisayo, avo kagala nyhupa ya alabasta ikalile na mavuta ga kunung'hila.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Kema hachugu cha Yesu, behi na magulu gake, yolila na kumdodeza magulu gake na mahozi gake. Abaho, kamuhangusa magulu gake na mvili zake, kaganonela na kugetila mavuta ga kunung'hila.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.

39Ija Imfalisayo yamgoneke viyonile gaja, kalonga munda kwa munda, “Kamba munhu ino yahawile muhokozi, yahamtangile mtwanzi ino yomkwasa yali munhu wa vilihi, yahavitangile vija voyokala ukazi wa vilozo.”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 kamulongela ija Imfalisayo, “Simoni, nna mbuli nolonda kukulongela.” Kalonga “Ona, mkulufunzi, nongela.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesu kasonga kulonga, “Kukala na wanhu wabili wowilwa hela na mkalizi hela imwe. Imwe kakala yowilwa hela zilinganye maliho ga milenge longo dimwe, na iyagwe kakala yowilwa hela zilinganye maliho ga mulenge umwe.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Wose wabili hawadahile kuliha, avo kawagela kumgongo wose wabili. Vino yalihi hana iwanhu wano wabili yondayamnogele heyo ng'hani?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simoni kamulongela, “Nokona ija imunhu yageligwe kumgongo hela bwando.” Yesu kalonga, “Kulonga goya.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Abaho, kamuhindukila ija imtwanzi, kamulongela Simoni, “Komona mtwanzi ino? Ningila mng'anda yako, hungwelele mazi ngele magulu gangu, ila heyo kagadodeza magulu gangu na mahozi gake na kugahangusa na mvili zake.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.

45Hunibokele mkuninonela, ila mtwanzi ino songela hanizile halekile kuganonela magulu gangu.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Gweye hunibakile mavuta mpala jangu, ila mtwanzi ino kagetila mavuta ga kunung'hila magulu gangu.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Avo nokulongela, noge kulu diyalaguse mtwanzi ino dolagusa avija vilozo vake bwando vuvigeligwe kumgongo. Ila munhu yoyose yageligwe kumgongo hadodo kolagusa noge dodo.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Abaho, Yesu kamulongela ija mtwanzi, “Vilozo vako vigeligwa kumgongo.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Wanhu wayagwe wakalile hameza wasonga kulonga hasihasi, “Iyo yalihi munhu ino, yogela kumgongo hata vilozo?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Ila Yesu kamulongela ija imtwanzi, “Nhamanila yako ikukombola, genda mditindiwalo.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
