Uthenga

Luka 13: 1-9

13:1	And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
13:2	Ndi kuyankha, adati kwa iwo: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
13:3	Ayi, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
13:4	And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
13:5	Ayi, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
13:6	And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
13:7	Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Taonani, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Choncho, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?'
13:8	Koma poyankha, adati kwa iye: ‘Ambuye, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
13:9	Ndipo, poyeneradi, it should bear fruit. Koma ngati sichoncho, in the future, you shall cut it down.’ ”
