“Ee Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, uwauaye manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwako! Mara ngapi nimetamani kuwakusanya watoto wako pamoja, kama vile kuku akusanyavyo vifaranga wake chini ya mabawa yake, lakini hukutaka!
Luke 13:34 in English
Luke 13:34 · Berean Standard Bible
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!
Context
32Yesu akawajibu, “Nendeni mkamwambie yule mbweha, ‘Ninafukuza pepo wachafu na kuponya wagonjwa leo na kesho, nami siku ya tatu nitaikamilisha kazi yangu.’ 33Sina budi kuendelea na safari yangu leo, kesho na kesho kutwa: kwa maana haiwezekani nabii kufa mahali pengine isipokuwa Yerusalemu. 34“Ee Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, uwauaye manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwako! Mara ngapi nimetamani kuwakusanya watoto wako pamoja, kama vile kuku akusanyavyo vifaranga wake chini ya mabawa yake, lakini hukutaka! 35Tazama nyumba yenu imeachwa ukiwa. Ninawaambia, hamtaniona tena mpaka wakati ule mtakaposema, ‘Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa jina la Bwana.’ ”
