Luka 7:5-29

⁵Kwandabha aliganili litaifa lya tete, na ndo jhaajengili lisinagogi kwandabha jha tete”.

⁶Yesu akajhendelela ni safari jha muene pamonga nabhu. Lakini kabla jha kulota patali ni nyumba, afisa mmonga abhalaghisi marafiki zake kulongela naku. “Bwana, usikitondesi ghwe muene kwandabha nene nilondeka lepi bhebhe kujhingila mu dari jhangu.

⁷Kwandabha ejhe nafikiririlepi hata nene nemwene kujha nilondeka kuhida kwa bhebhe, lakini jobhayi lilobhi tu ni mtumishi ghwa nene ibeta kupona.

⁸Kwani ni nene ne munu jha nibhekhibhwa mu mamlaka na nijhe ni askari chini jha nene. Wijobha kwa ojho “Lotayi” na ilota, nikwajhongi, “Hidayi” ni muene ihida, ni kwa mtumishi ghwa nene 'bhomba ekhe', ni muene ibhomba”.

⁹Yesu bhoapeliki agha ashangele, ni kubhageukila makutano bhabhan'kesieghe ni kujobha. “Nikabhajobhela hata mu Israeli, nibhwayilepi kubhona munu mwenye imani kama ejho.

¹⁰Kisha bhala bhabhalaghisibhu bhakherebhuiki kunyumba ni kun'kolela mtumishi amalikupona.

¹¹fulani baada jha agha, jhatokili kujha Yesu ajhe isafiri kulota mji bhwabhukutibhweghe Naini. Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalota pamonga nabhu bhakaambatana ni umati bhwa bhanu.

¹²Bhoafikiri karibu ni lango lya jiji langayi, munu jhaafwili ajhele ap'endibhu, na ndo muana ghwa pekee kwa nyinamunu jhaajhe mjane, ni umati bhwa bhawakilishi kuhoma mu jiji bhajhele pamonga nakhu.

¹³Bho ambwene, Bwana akan'hegelela kwa huruma mbaha sana juu jha muene ni kun'jobhela, “Usileli”.

¹⁴Kisha akahegelela palongolo akaligusa lijeneza ambalyo bhap'endili mb'ele, na bhala bhabhap'endili bhakajhema akajobha “N'songolo nijobha jhumukayi”

¹⁵Mfu akajhinuka ni kutama pasi ni kujhanda kulongela. Kisha Yesu akan'kabidhi kwa nyinamunu.

¹⁶Kisha hofu ikabhamema bhoha. Bhakajhendelela kun'tukusya k'yara bhakajobha “Nabii mbaha ajhinulibhu miongoni mwa jhotu” ni “k'yara abhalangili bhanu bha muene”

¹⁷Ese habari sinofu sya Yesu syajhenili Yudea jhioha ni mikoa ghioha ghya jirani.

¹⁸Bhanafunzi bha Yohana bhakan'jobhili mambo agha ghoha.

¹⁹Ndipo Yohana akabhakuta bhabhele bha bhanafunzi bha muene ni kubhalaghisya kwa Bwana kujobha “Bhebhe ndo jhola jhaihida, au ajhe munu jhongi tundendelelajhi?

²⁰Bhobhafikiri karibu ni Yesu abha bhakajobha, “Yohana mbatizaji atulaghisi kwa bhebhe kujobha, 'Bhebhe ndo jhola jhaihida au ajhe jhongi tundendelelajhi?”

²¹Kwa wakati obho abhaponyisi bhanu bhingi bhenye matamu ni malombosi, kuhoma kwa roho bhachafu ni kwa bhanu bhenye upofu wabhapelili kulanga.

²²Yesu ajibili ni kujobha kwa bhene. “Baada jha kujha mlotili kwa muhomili mwibeta kumjulisha Yohana kya mukibhwene ni kup'eleka. Bhenye upofu bhipokela kulola ni fiwete bhibeta kugenda, bhenye ukoma bhitakasika viziwi bhibeta kup'eleka, bhafu bhifufulibhwa ni kujha hai kabhele, masikini bhijobhibhwa habari jhinofu.

²³Na munu jhaibeta kuleka lepi kuniamini nene kwa matendo ghangu abarikibhu”.

²⁴Baada jha bhala bhabhalaghisibhu ni Yohana kukerebhuka kwa bhahomili, Yesu akajhanda kujobha kwa makutano juu jha Yohana, “Mwalotili kwibhala kulanga kiki, litasi likajha lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?

²⁵Lakini Mwalotili kwibhala kulola kiki, munu jhaafwalili kinofu? Langajhi bhanu bhala bhabhifuala maguanda gha kifalme ni kuishi maisha gha starehe bhajhe mu nafasi sya bhafalme.

²⁶Lakini mwilota kwibhala kulola kiki, Nabii? Ndio, nijobha kwa muenga ni zaidi sana kuliko nabii.

²⁷Ojho ndo jhaajhandikibhu, “Langayi, nikandaghisya mjumbe ghwa nene palongolo pa mihu gha jhomu, jhaibeta kujhandala njela kwandabha jha nene,

²⁸Nijobha kwa muenga, kati jha bhala bhabhahogoliki ni n'dala, ajhelepi mbaha kama Yohana, lakini munu jha ajhele muhimu lepi sana jhaibeta kuishi ni K'yara mahali pa ajhele muene, ibeta kujha mbaha kuliko Yohana.”

²⁹Ni bhanu bhobhap'eliki agha pamonga ni bhatoza ushuru, bhatangasisi kujha k'yara ndo ajhe ni huruma ni haki. Bhajhele kati jha bhene bhala bhabhabatisibhu kwa ubatizo bhwa Yohana.
