Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi mukoshano, pakuyanda kubeyisha kwambeti bapailenga lyonse kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man.
Walambeti, “Kwalikuba mubeteshi mumunshi umbi walikubula kutina Lesa nambi kulemeka muntu.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Kwalikuba mukalubingi mutukashi mumunshi wopeloyo walikaya kuli shikubeteka ne kumusengeti, ‘Munyamfweko pa mulandu ngonkute ku mulwani wakame.’
4 He would not for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Masuba alafula mubeteshi kakanowa, nsombi panyuma pakendi walayeya mwineti, necikaba kwambeti nkantini Lesa nambi kulemeka muntu,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
pakwinga mukalubingi uyu landemeshe kunjobekela, nindimubetekele mulandu wakendi, kwambeti ngaundemesha kwisa kuno!”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Lino Mwami walambeti, “Nte mulanyumfu maswi amubeteshi wabula kululama usa.
7 Will not God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Sena Lesa nteshi akabetekeshe mulandu wa balulama bakendi abo balamusengenga munshi ne mashiku? Sena nakalilwe kubanyamfwa?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Ndamwambilingeti nakafwambane kubabetekela mulandu wabo. Sena pakwisa Mwana Muntu nakacane bantu bakute lushomo panshi pano?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Lino Yesu walamba mukoshano umbi kulyabo bali kabayeyeti balulama kupita bonse nekunyansha banabo.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Walambeti, “Kwalikuba bantu babili balaya akupaila ku Ng'anda ya Lesa. Umbi walikuba Mufalisi naumbi walikuba weshimisonko.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
“Lino Mufalisi walanyamuka nekupaileti, ndamulumbunga obe Lesa, pakwinga ame nkandipo eti bantu nabambi bonse. Nabo nibantu babula kululama kayi ni bapombo. Kayi ndalumbu pakwinga kandipo eti uyu weshi kusonkesha musonko uyu.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Ndalikanishinga kulya mankanda abili munsondo, kayi nkute kubenga calikumi pabintu byonse mbyonkute kucana.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
“Nsombi weshikusonkesha musonko usa walemana patali, liya kulangapo kwilu. Nsombi walikalyuma pantiti nekwambeti, Lesa, kamunyumfwilako inkumbo ame ndemwipishi.”
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Yesu walabambileti, “Cancine ncine, weshimusonko walabwelela kucomwabo kali walulama pamenso a Lesa, mu Falisi neye liya. Pakwinga muntu uliyense weshi kulisumpula nakacepeshewe, nomba muntu weshi kulicepesha nakasumpulwe.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Bantu nabambi balaleta bana bang'ana kuli Yesu kwambeti abike makasa akendi pabana nekubaleleka. Beshikwiya bakendi mpobalaboneco balabakalalila bantu abo balaleta bana.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Nsombi Yesu walakuwa bana nekwambeti. “Kamulekani bana bang'ana bese kuli njame, mutabakanishanga, pakwinga Bwami bwa Lesa ni bwa bantu balyeti bana aba.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti uyo labulunga kutambula Bwami Bwa Lesa eti mwana, cakubinga nteshi akengilemo.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
Mukulene wa Bayuda naumbi walepusha Yesu eti. “Bashikwiyisha baina, nomba ndelelela kwinseconi kwambeti nkatambule buyumi butapu?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Yesu walepusheti, “Nomba nicani ncolambilico kwambeti ndaina? Kuliya muntu waina, nsombi Lesa enka.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Milawo uyinshi yeshi kwambeti, ‘Utensa bulale, utashina, kotaiba, utapa bukamboni bwabwepeshi, lemeka baiso ne banyoko.’”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Muntu uyo walakumbuleti, “Iyi Milawo yonse nkute kwikonka kufuma kubutwanike bwakame.”
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Yesu mpwalanyumfweco, walamwambileti, “Kulashalowa cintu cimo ncowelela kwinsa. Koya ulishe byonse mbyokute, mali upe bapenga, lino nukabe nebuboni kwilu. Wenseco, wise unkonkele.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Nsombi muntu usa mpwalanyumfweco, walongumana pakwinga walikuba ne mubile bwingi.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Yesu mpwalabona, kungumana kwa muntu usa walambeti, “Cayuma kwambeti bantu babile bakengile mu Bwami bwa Lesa.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Capuba kwambeti ngamila ingile mukamulyango ka nyeleti kupita muntu mubile kwingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Bantu balanyumfwa makani aya balepusheti, “Nomba niyani eti akapuluke?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ibi bintu bitakonsheke nebantu, bikute kukonsheka ne Lesa.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Lino Petulo walambeti, “Kamubona! Afwe twalashiya manda etu nekukonkela njamwe.”
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga paliya muntu walashiya ng'anda, nambi mukashendi nambi bamakwabo nambi bashali bakendi nambi bana bakendi pacebo ca Bwami bwa Lesa,
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Yesu walamanta beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili kuya palubasu nekubambileti, “Tulenga ku Yelusalemu uko byonse byalalemba bashinshimi pa Mwana Muntu nkoti bikenshikile.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Pakwinga Mwana Muntu nakatwalwe mumakasa abantu bakunsa abo beshi bakamuwele, kumutukana, nekumusankila mata.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Nibakamukwipe nekumushina, nsombi pabusuba bwabutatu nakapundushiwe kubafu.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Beshikwiya bakendi baliya kunyumfwishisha pamakani ayo. Maswi aya baliya kwanyumfwishisha pakwinga alikuba asolama kuli endibo, neco baliya kwinshiba ncali kwamba.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Yesu mpwalashika pepi ne Yeliko walacana mpofu kali wekala mumbali mwa nshila, kasengelela.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Lino mpofu uyo mpwalanyumfwa bantu bangi kabapita munshileyo, walepusheti, “Nicani cilenshikinga?”
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Bantu balamwambileti, “Ni Yesu wa ku Nasaleti lapitinga.”
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Lino walolobesheti, “Yesu mwana wa Dafeti konyumfwilako inkumbo!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Lino bantu balikuba kutangu balamukalilila nekumwambileti mwena. Nsombi nendi walapitilisha kolobesheti, “Mwanendi Dafeti, konyumfwilako inkumbo!”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Neye Yesu walemana ne kwambila bantu eti bamulete kuli endiye. Mpwalashika pepi Yesu walamwipusheti,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
nicani ncolandangeti nkwinshile? Neye walamukumbuleti, “Mwami, ndayandanga kwambeti ntatike kubona kayi.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Tatika kubona, pakwinga ulanshomo, lushomo lwakobe lulakushiliki.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Pacindi copeleco walatatika kubona. Lino walakonkela Yesu nkaya kulumbaisha Lesa. Bantu bonse mpobalabona calenshika naboyo balalalumbaisha Lesa.
