Luka 18
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao chitagu chati, ŵandu akusachilwa apopeleje katema kose pangapela.
And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
2 Ŵatite kuti, “Pamusi umo, jwapali jwakulamula jumo, jwanganjogopa Akunnungu natamuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu.
saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
3 Nipele, jwapali jwankongwe jwakuŵililwa jumo pa musi wo juŵajaulilaga kaŵili kaŵili jwakulamulajo achitiji, ‘Munjenjele kuti ngole chigolochelo changu kutyochela kwa jwammagongo jwangu.’
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 Kwa moŵa gamajinji jwakulamula jo nganasaka kwachenjela nambo kambesi kakwe ŵatite mu ntima mwakwe, ‘Atamuno ngangwajogopa Akunnungu namuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu,
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
5 nambo kwaligongo lya jwakuwililwa ju akuusakalisya une, chinaachenjele kuti akole chigolochelo chakwe nambo iŵaga ngambanganya yeleyo chambesye une pakwika kaŵili kaŵili!’”
yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
6 Nipele, Ambuje ŵajendelechele, “Mpilikane yatite pakuŵecheta jwakulamula jwangalumbana jo.
And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
7 Uli, Akunnungu ngaŵaachenjela ŵele ŵandu uŵasagwile, ŵakwalilila muusi ni chilo ŵala? Ana pane chakaŵe kwapilikanila?
and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
8 Ngunsalila kuti chachachenjela ŵanyawo chitema pe. Nambo uli pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu chiŵasimane ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila pachilambo pano?”
I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
9 Nombe Che Yesu ŵatanjile sooni chitagu kwa ŵakuliganisya kuti akupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwanyelusya ŵane.
And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
10 “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukupopela, jumo ŵaliji Mfalisayo ni jwine ŵaliji jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
11 “Jwele Mfalisayo jo ŵajimi ni kupopela chikatikati achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, nguntogolela pakuŵa uneji nganima chisau ŵandu ŵane, ŵachiswamba ni ŵachigongomalo ni ŵachikululu. Natamuno chisau jwakukumbikanya nsongo ju.
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
12 Ngutaŵa kaŵili kwa chijuma ni ngutyosya liunjili lya kakumi lya indu yose ingupata.’
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
13 “Nambo jwakukumbikanya nsongo jula, ŵajimi kwakutalichila, nombejo nganalinga kulola kwinani nambo ŵaliputile pa ntima pao kwa kulilasika achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, mungolele chanasa une jundi ni sambi!’”
And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
14 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila mwanya, jwakukumbikanya nsongo jo ŵausile kumangwao ali akundikwe ni Akunnungu kumpunda Mfalisayo jo. Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakulikwesya chatuluswe ni jwakulitulusya chakweswe.”
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
15 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi kuti ŵasajichile makono ni kwapa upile. Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiweni ŵakalipile.
And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
16 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵanache achanandi achitiji, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, nkalekasya pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela aŵa.
and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
17 Ngunsalila isyene kuti jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela mwanache jwannandi, ngajinjila mu Umwenye ng'oo.”
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
18 Chilongola jumo jwa Ŵayahudi ŵammusisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya jwambone ana ndende chichi pakuti ngole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi nkuumilanga une jwambone? Ngapagwa jwali jwambone akaŵe Akunnungu pe.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
20 Nkugamanyilila makanyo ga Akunnungu, ‘Kasintenda chikululu atamuno kasimmulaga ni kasinjiŵa atamuno kasinsala ya unami ni mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Ŵelewo ŵatite, “Yeleyo yose naikamulichisye chitandilile mu uchanda wangu.”
And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
22 Che Yesu paŵapilikene gelego ŵansalile kuti, “Chindu chimo chisoŵile kukwenu, nkasumisye yose inkwete ni mbiya syo nkaasapulile ŵakulaga, nomwe ni pachinchikola ipanje kwinani, nipele njise munguye.”
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
23 Nambo mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵasupwiche nnope pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Che Yesu paŵammweni mundu jo aninkusongoneka ni ŵatite “Yaikuti pakulepelecheka kwa ŵandu ŵaali ni ipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu!
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 Eloo, ili yangalemwa kwa chinyama chachikuŵilanjikwa ngamia kwinjila pachipowo cha sindano kupunda jwaali ni chipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene yeleyo ŵausisye, “Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulupuswa?”
And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Che Yesu ŵajanjile achitiji, “Indu yangaikukomboleka kwa ŵandu, kwa Akunnungu ikukomboleka.”
And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, uwe tulesile indu yetu yose ni kunkuya alakwe!”
And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
29 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwajilesile nyuumba pane ŵankwawo pane achapwakwe pane achaŵelesi pane achiŵanagwe ligongo lya Umwenye wa Akunnungu,
and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Che Yesu ŵaajigele pajika ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, ŵaasalile, “Mpilikane! Tukukwesya kwaula ku Yelusalemu ni kweleko indu yose iyalembekwe ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu yankati Mwana jwa Mundu chiiŵe isyene.
And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
32 Pakuŵa chachajausya kwa ŵandu ŵangosyo sine nombe ŵanyawo chachanyelusya ni kwatukana ni kunsunila mata.
for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
33 Champute ibokola ni kummulaga nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu kutyochela pa chiwa chao chasyuche.”
and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵecheteje Che Yesu go pakuŵa galiji gamasisikwe kukwao nombewo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu akuŵecheta nkati chichi.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Katema Che Yesu paŵaŵandichile ku Yeliko, jwapali mundu jumo jwangalola juŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 Paŵapilikene ŵandu ŵajinji aninkupita ŵausisye “Ana kwana chichi?”
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Ŵansalile, “Che Yesu ŵa ku Nasaleti akupita.”
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
38 Nombewo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu, Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
39 Ŵandu uŵalongolele ŵala ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo ŵelewo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya achitiji, “Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
40 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵapeleche paujo pao. Jwangalola jula paŵaŵandichile Che Yesu ŵammusisye,
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
41 “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngusaka ngombole kulola sooni.”
saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
42 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nnole! Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
43 Papopo pepo ŵakombwele kulola sooni ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu achakusyaga Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵalapile Akunnungu.
and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
