Luka 18
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao chitagu chati, ŵandu akusachilwa apopeleje katema kose pangapela.
And he spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be faint-hearted:
2 Ŵatite kuti, “Pamusi umo, jwapali jwakulamula jumo, jwanganjogopa Akunnungu natamuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu.
saying, There was in a certain city a judge, who feared not God, nor regarded 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 there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary!
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 some time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I neither fear God, nor 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 troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest by coming for ever she weary me out.
6 Nipele, Ambuje ŵajendelechele, “Mpilikane yatite pakuŵecheta jwakulamula jwangalumbana jo.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Uli, Akunnungu ngaŵaachenjela ŵele ŵandu uŵasagwile, ŵakwalilila muusi ni chilo ŵala? Ana pane chakaŵe kwapilikanila?
And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
8 Ngunsalila kuti chachachenjela ŵanyawo chitema pe. Nambo uli pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu chiŵasimane ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila pachilambo pano?”
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, 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 to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
10 “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukupopela, jumo ŵaliji Mfalisayo ni jwine ŵaliji jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
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 stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
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 that I gain.
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!’”
But the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a 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 tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth 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 brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing it, 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.
But Jesus called them to him, saying, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
17 Ngunsalila isyene kuti jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela mwanache jwannandi, ngajinjila mu Umwenye ng'oo.”
Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will not enter therein.
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 asked him, saying, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi nkuumilanga une jwambone? Ngapagwa jwali jwambone akaŵe Akunnungu pe.
And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.
20 Nkugamanyilila makanyo ga Akunnungu, ‘Kasintenda chikululu atamuno kasimmulaga ni kasinjiŵa atamuno kasinsala ya unami ni mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
Thou knowest the commandments: “Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Honor thy father and thy mother.”
21 Ŵelewo ŵatite, “Yeleyo yose naikamulichisye chitandilile mu uchanda wangu.”
And he said, All these have 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 Jesus hearing this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
23 Nambo mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵasupwiche nnope pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji.
But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Che Yesu paŵammweni mundu jo aninkusongoneka ni ŵatite “Yaikuti pakulepelecheka kwa ŵandu ŵaali ni ipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu!
And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter 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.”
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene yeleyo ŵausisye, “Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulupuswa?”
And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?
27 Che Yesu ŵajanjile achitiji, “Indu yangaikukomboleka kwa ŵandu, kwa Akunnungu ikukomboleka.”
But he said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, uwe tulesile indu yetu yose ni kunkuya alakwe!”
Then Peter said, Lo! we left what we had, and followed thee.
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 do I say to you, There is no one that hath left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, 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 taking the twelve aside, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all that hath been written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be accomplished.
32 Pakuŵa chachajausya kwa ŵandu ŵangosyo sine nombe ŵanyawo chachanyelusya ni kwatukana ni kunsunila mata.
For he will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon;
33 Champute ibokola ni kummulaga nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu kutyochela pa chiwa chao chasyuche.”
and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and 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 the meaning of these words was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was said.
35 Katema Che Yesu paŵaŵandichile ku Yeliko, jwapali mundu jumo jwangalola juŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.
36 Paŵapilikene ŵandu ŵajinji aninkupita ŵausisye “Ana kwana chichi?”
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Ŵansalile, “Che Yesu ŵa ku Nasaleti akupita.”
And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Nombewo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu, Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!
39 Ŵandu uŵalongolele ŵala ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo ŵelewo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya achitiji, “Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And they who went before sharply bade him hold his peace. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
40 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵapeleche paujo pao. Jwangalola jula paŵaŵandichile Che Yesu ŵammusisye,
And Jesus stopped, and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him,
41 “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngusaka ngombole kulola sooni.”
What dost thou wish me to do for thee? And he said, Lord, to restore my sight.
42 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nnole! Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Papopo pepo ŵakombwele kulola sooni ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu achakusyaga Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵalapile Akunnungu.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, giving glory to God; and all the people on seeing it gave praise to God.
