Luka 18
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao chitagu chati, ŵandu akusachilwa apopeleje katema kose pangapela.
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 Ŵatite kuti, “Pamusi umo, jwapali jwakulamula jumo, jwanganjogopa Akunnungu natamuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu.
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared 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, who came to him, saying, Do me justice 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 a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 nambo kwaligongo lya jwakuwililwa ju akuusakalisya une, chinaachenjele kuti akole chigolochelo chakwe nambo iŵaga ngambanganya yeleyo chambesye une pakwika kaŵili kaŵili!’”
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 Nipele, Ambuje ŵajendelechele, “Mpilikane yatite pakuŵecheta jwakulamula jwangalumbana jo.
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 Uli, Akunnungu ngaŵaachenjela ŵele ŵandu uŵasagwile, ŵakwalilila muusi ni chilo ŵala? Ana pane chakaŵe kwapilikanila?
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 Ngunsalila kuti chachachenjela ŵanyawo chitema pe. Nambo uli pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu chiŵasimane ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila pachilambo pano?”
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 Nombe Che Yesu ŵatanjile sooni chitagu kwa ŵakuliganisya kuti akupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwanyelusya ŵane.
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
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; 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 standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.
12 Ngutaŵa kaŵili kwa chijuma ni ngutyosya liunjili lya kakumi lya indu yose ingupata.’
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that 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!’”
But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon 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 whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall 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 his disciples 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 and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: 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.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means 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 asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi nkuumilanga une jwambone? Ngapagwa jwali jwambone akaŵe Akunnungu pe.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none 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, Honour 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.”
But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, 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 was 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 when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have 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 go 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 they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Che Yesu ŵajanjile achitiji, “Indu yangaikukomboleka kwa ŵandu, kwa Akunnungu ikukomboleka.”
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, uwe tulesile indu yetu yose ni kunkuya alakwe!”
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, 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 unto them, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, 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 He took the twelve with Him and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Pakuŵa chachajausya kwa ŵandu ŵangosyo sine nombe ŵanyawo chachanyelusya ni kwatukana ni kunsunila mata.
For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:
33 Champute ibokola ni kummulaga nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu kutyochela pa chiwa chao chasyuche.”
and the third day He shall 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.
But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.
35 Katema Che Yesu paŵaŵandichile ku Yeliko, jwapali mundu jumo jwangalola juŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 Paŵapilikene ŵandu ŵajinji aninkupita ŵausisye “Ana kwana chichi?”
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Ŵansalile, “Che Yesu ŵa ku Nasaleti akupita.”
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 Nombewo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu, Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 Ŵandu uŵalongolele ŵala ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo ŵelewo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya achitiji, “Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.
40 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵapeleche paujo pao. Jwangalola jula paŵaŵandichile Che Yesu ŵammusisye,
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngusaka ngombole kulola sooni.”
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nnole! Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
And Jesus said unto 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, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
