Luka 18
1 Kenaka Yesu anawuza ophunzira ake fanizo kuwaonetsa kuti iwo ayenera kumapemphera nthawi zonse ndikuti asafowoke.
AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
2 Iye anati, “Mʼmudzi wina munali woweruza wosaopa Mulungu ngakhalenso kulabadira za anthu.
There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
3 Ndipo panali mkazi wamasiye mʼmudzimo amene ankabwerabwera kwa iye ndi dandawulo lake kuti, ‘Mundiweruze mlandu mwachilungamo pakati pa ine ndi otsutsana nane.’
But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 “Kwa nthawi yayitali woweruzayo ankakana. Koma pa mapeto analingalira nati, ‘Ngakhale kuti sindiopa Mulungu kapena kulabadira za anthu,
And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,
5 koma chifukwa chakuti mkazi wamasiyeyu akundivutitsa, ine ndimuweruzira mlandu wake mwachilungamo kuti asanditopetse ndi kubwerabwera kwakeko!’”
yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
6 Ndipo Ambuye anati, “Tamvani zimene woweruza wopanda chilungamoyu wanena.
And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
7 Tsono chingamuletse nʼchiyani Mulungu kubweretsa chilungamo kwa osankhika ake, amene amalira kwa Iye usana ndi usiku? Kodi adzapitirirabe osawalabadira?
But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?
8 Ine ndikukuwuzani inu, adzaonetsetsa kuti alandire chilungamo, ndiponso mofulumira. Komabe, pamene Mwana wa Munthu akubwera, kodi adzapeza chikhulupiriro pa dziko lapansi?”
I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
9 Yesu ananena fanizoli kwa amene amadzikhulupirira mwa iwo okha kuti anali wolungama nanyoza ena onse.
And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
10 “Anthu awiri anapita ku Nyumba ya Mulungu kukapemphera, wina Mfarisi ndi winayo wolandira msonkho.
Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;
11 Mfarisiyo anayimirira ndipo anapemphera za iye mwini kuti, ‘Mulungu, ine ndikuyamika kuti sindili ngati anthu ena onse, achifwamba, ochita zoyipa, achigololo, sindilinso ngati wolandira msonkhoyu.
and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.
12 Ine ndimasala kudya kawiri pa Sabata ndipo ndimapereka chakhumi pa zonse ndimapeza.’
But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
13 “Koma wolandira msonkhoyo ali chiyimire potero, sanathe nʼkomwe kuyangʼana kumwamba; koma anadziguguda pachifuwa ndipo anati, ‘Mulungu, chitireni chifundo, ine wochimwa.’
But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner!
14 “Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti munthu wolandira msonkhoyu, osati Mfarisiyu, anapita kwawo atalungamitsidwa pamaso pa Mulungu. Chifukwa chake, aliyense wodzikweza adzachepetsedwa, ndipo wodzichepetsa adzakwezedwa.”
I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Anthu amabweretsanso ana aangʼono kwa Yesu kuti awadalitse. Ophunzira ataona izi, anawadzudzula.
Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
16 Koma Yesu anayitana anawo kuti abwere kwa Iye nati, “Lolani ana abwere kwa Ine ndipo musawatsekereze, pakuti ufumu wa Mulungu uli wa anthu otere.
But Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these,
17 Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene salandira ufumu wa Mulungu ngati mwana wamngʼono, sadzalowamo.”
of them is the kingdom of heaven. Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 Oweruza wina wake anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Aphunzitsi abwino, ndichite chiyani kuti ndilandire moyo wosatha?” (aiōnios g166)
AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani ukunditcha wabwino, palibe wabwino kupatula Mulungu yekha.
Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
20 Iwe umadziwa malamulo: ‘Usachite chigololo, usaphe, usabe, usapereke umboni wonama, lemekeza abambo ndi amayi ako.’”
The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Iye anati, “Zonsezi ndinasunga kuyambira ndili mnyamata.”
He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
22 Yesu atamva izi, anati kwa iye, “Ukusowabe chinthu chimodzi: Gulitsa zonse zimene uli nazo ndipo uzipereke kwa osauka, ndipo udzakhala ndi chuma kumwamba. Kenaka ubwere, nunditsate ine.”
But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.
23 Atamva zimenezi, anakhumudwa kwambiri chifukwa anali munthu wachuma chambiri.
But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
24 Yesu anamuyangʼana nati, “Nʼkwapatali kwambiri kuti anthu achuma akalowe mu ufumu wa Mulungu!
And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!
25 Ndithudi, nʼkwapafupi kuti ngamira idutse pa kabowo ka zingano kusiyana ndi munthu wachuma kulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu.”
It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
26 Amene anamva izi anafunsa kuti, “Nanga ndani amene angapulumuke?”
They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
27 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zinthu zosatheka ndi anthu zimatheka ndi Mulungu.”
But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
28 Petro anati kwa Iye, “Ife tinasiya zonse tinali nazo kutsatira Inu!”
Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
29 Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti palibe amene anasiya nyumba kapena mkazi kapena abale kapena makolo kapena ana chifukwa cha ufumu wa Mulungu
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha,
31 Yesu anatengera khumi ndi awiriwo pambali ndi kuwawuza kuti, “Taonani ife tikupita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo zonse zimene zalembedwa ndi Aneneri za Mwana wa Munthu zidzakwaniritsidwa.
AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 Iye adzaperekedwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndipo adzamuchita chipongwe, adzamunyoza, adzamulavulira,
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
33 adzamukwapula ndi kumupha. Tsiku lachitatu Iye adzaukanso.”
and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
34 Ophunzira sanazindikire china chilichonse cha izi. Tanthauzo lake linabisika kwa iwo, ndipo sanadziwe chimene Iye amayankhula.
But not one of these understood they: for this word was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.
35 Yesu atayandikira ku Yeriko, munthu wina wosaona amene amakhala pambali pa msewu namapempha,
And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
36 anamva gulu la anthu likudutsa. Iye anafunsa chomwe chimachitika.
And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
37 Iwo anamuwuza kuti “Yesu wa ku Nazareti akudutsa.”
They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
38 Iye anayitana mofuwula, “Yesu Mwana wa Davide, mundichitire chifundo!”
And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
39 Iwo amene amamutsogolera njira anamudzudzula ndi kumuwuza kuti akhale chete, koma iye anafuwulabe, “Mwana wa Davide, chitireni chifundo!”
And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!
40 Yesu anayima nalamula kuti abwere naye kwa Iye. Atabwera pafupi, Yesu anamufunsa kuti,
And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to him,
41 “Kodi ukufuna kuti ndikuchitire chiyani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ine ndifuna ndionenso.”
What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
42 Yesu anati kwa iye, “Onanso; chikhulupiriro chako chakupulumutsa.”
And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Nthawi yomweyo anaonanso ndipo anayamba kumutsatira Yesu, akulemekeza Mulungu. Anthu onse ataona izi, iwonso analemekeza Mulungu.
And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
