Luke 18
1 Jesus told them this story to encourage them to pray at all times, and not to become discouraged.
Hange wekaaila mpyani netakewe kulompa daima, alekekuta etamaa.
2 “Once there was a judge in this particular town who didn't respect God or care about anyone,” Jesus explained.
Akamitambula, “Aokole mulamuli pakesale fulani, hange shanga aumwogopile Itunda nukuaheshimu eantu.
3 “In the same town lived a widow who time and again went to the judge, saying, ‘Give me justice in the case against my enemy!’
Aukole mujane pakesale nekanso, nung'wenso aewimuhanga nkua yeedu, nukutambula, “Nzaelye mpate ehakiane numupenzani wane.
4 For a while he didn't want to do anything about it, but eventually he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't respect God or care about anyone,
Kumatungo edu shangaaukole tayali kumusaidila, lakini baada amatungo akatambula munkolo akwe, ataitule unene shanganumwogopile Itunda ang'wi kumuheshimu umuntu,
5 this widow is so annoying I'll make sure she receives justice. Then she won't wear me out by her coming to see me so often.’
lakini kunsoko umujane uyu ukunsumbula nukumusaidela wapate ehaki akwe, waleke kunkatalya kwa kunezela mala kwa mala.”
6 Listen to what even an unjust judge decided,” said the Lord.
Kuite umukulu wekalunga, “Tegeelyi nautambue nuanso umulamuli nuanso nedhalimu.
7 “Don't you think that God will make sure his chosen people receive justice, those who cry out to him day and night? Do you think he will make them wait?
Ite Itunda shanga ukuleta ehaki kwateule akwe neakumukela mung'we nuutiku? Ite nuanso shaukiumelyane kung'wao?
8 No, I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find people on earth who trust in him?”
Kumuila kina ukuleta ehaki kung'wa kwakukaya. Lakini ematungo nuzie ung'wana wang'wa Adamu, ite ukuuhangane uhueli muunkumbigulu?”
9 He also told this story about those who are so sure that they are living right, and who put everybody else down.
Uu wikaaela mpyani eye kuantu baadhi hange niiona eenso kina akete ehaki nukuazalau eantu niangiza.
10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
Antu abeele anankie kulongola mihekalu kusali: ung'wi Farisayo ung'wi mutoza ushuru.
11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed to himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—cheats, criminals, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Ufarisayo wekimeka nukulompa aya migulya lakwe ung'wenso, Itunda kusongeelya kunsoko unene singa kipyani neantu niangiza kuita eahegelya, antu nishanga aaminifu, agoolyi, ang'wi anga yuyu umutoza ushulu.
12 I fast twice a week, and I pay tithe on my income.’
Nefunga mahiku abeele kuwiki. Neepumya ezaka mumapato ane ehi nenepata.
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance. He wouldn't even look up to heaven. Instead he beat his chest and prayed, ‘God, please be merciful to me. I am a sinner.’
Lakini nuanso umutoza ushulu, aewimekile kule, shanga auwezilye ata ukuhumbula emiho akwe kilunde, akakuanga kekua kakwe wekalunga, Itunda ngoze unene nimunya milandu.”
14 I tell you, it was this man who went home right in God's sight and not the other. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, while those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Kumuila, umuntu nuanso ausukile kito akize uaeeigwe etai kukela umuya, kunsoko uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, lakini uyu nuisimya wehumbulwa.
15 Parents were bringing their infants to Jesus to have him bless them by his touch. When the disciples saw what was happening, they tried to stop them.
Eantu amuletee eana ao neadabu, kuite ahume kuaamba, lakini eamanyisigwa akwe naaine nanso, akaagilya.
16 But Jesus called the children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said. “Don't prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them.
Lakini u Yesu wakaitanga kung'wakwe wekalunga, “Aleki ana nianino aze kitalane, wala lekikuagilya. Kundogoelyo utemi wang'wi Tunda waantu anga nianso.
17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Amini kumuila umuntu wehi nishanga ukusengelya utemi wang'wi Tunda anga ana neanino shangaukingela.”
18 One of the rulers came to Jesus and asked him, “Good Teacher, what do I have to do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Mutawa ung'wi aumukoilye, wikalunga, 'Mwalimu namuza ntende ule nuusale upanga wakale nakale? (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good, only God.
U Yesu wikamuila, “Kuneke ukunintanga numuza? Kutile umuntu numuza, ila Itunda wing'wene du.
20 You know the commandments: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.”
Umamanyilene emalago-lekakugoolya, lekakubulaga, lekakia, lekakutambula uteele, aheshimu ebaba ako numama ako.
21 “I've kept all these commandments since I was young,” the man replied.
Umutawala nuanso wekalunga, “Imakani ayaite numaambile kupuma uhumba wane.
22 When Jesus heard this he told the man, “You still lack one thing. Go and sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
U Yesu naewigule nanso wikaaila, “Upungukewe nekentu king'wi. Lazima ugulye ehi nukete aagawele awa niagila, nuewe ukutuwa nehazina kilunde kuite nzuu, uuntyate.
23 But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very wealthy.
Lakini umugole naewigulye nanso wekapata kenyauai lukulu, kunsoko ae mugole lukulu.
24 When he saw his reaction, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Hange u Yesu wikamugoza nauambilwe ikenyauai ikulu wikalunga, 'Kuule neekatula ikaku eagole kingela ku utemi wang'wi Tunda!
25 It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Kundogoelyo itotu ikulu kungamea kukela mitundu la sindano, kukela eugole kingela utemi wang'wi Tunda.”
26 Those who heard this wondered, “Who can be saved then?”
Awa naeigulye nanso, ekalunga, “Nyenyu gwa, nuekaweza kuokolewa?
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible in human terms is possible for God.”
U Yesu wikasukilya, “Imakani neshangaawezekanile kwa anadamu kung'wi Tunda awezekanile.”
28 Peter said, “We left everything to follow you!”
U Petelo wikalunga, “Uu usese kaleka kila ekentu nakakutyata uewe.”
29 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus told them, “anybody who leaves behind their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for the sake of God's kingdom
Hange u Yesu wikaaila, hueli kumuela kina kutile muntu nulekile enyumba ang'wi musungu, ang'wi munyandugu ang'wi aleli, ang'wi ana, kunsoko autemi wang'wi Tunda,
31 Jesus took the twelve disciples aside, and told them, “We're going to Jerusalem, and all that the prophets wrote about the Son of man will be fulfilled.
Baada akuilingela awa nekumi na mbele, wikaaila, goza, kuunankela kulongoe ku Yerusalemu, ne makani ehi naandekilwe neanyakedagu kuhusu ung'wana wang'wa Adamu akukamileka.
32 He will be handed over to the foreigners he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon.
Kundogoelyo ukuambwa mumekono amataifa akumudhiki nukumutenda ejeuri, nukumutyela emate.
33 They will flog him and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
Baada akumukua iiboko akumubulaga nuluhiku lakatatu ukiiuka.”
34 But they didn't understand anything Jesus told them. The meaning was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was talking about.
Shanga ealengile imakani nanso, nulukani ulu ite aelupihilwe kung'wao, hange shangaaealengile emakani naatambuwe.
35 As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting beside the road begging.
Ikatula u Yesu naauhugie ku Yeriko, muntu ung'wi mupoku aewikie mumpelompelo abalabala aeukulompa ugunwa,
36 He heard the crowd going past, so he asked what was happening.
naewigule umilundo wa antu ukeile akakolya ntuni niipumie.
37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
Eekamuila kina u Yesu nua Nazareti ukeile.
38 He called out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
Kuite umupoku wekalela kululi, wikalunga, Yesu, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi nehulumele.” Awa naakugenda ekamukenela umupoku nuanso, ekamuela kilaga.
39 Those at the front of the crowd told him to stop shouting and be quiet, but he only shouted louder, “Son of David, please have mercy on me!”
Uugwa awo naza atongee, akamukenda ite wakilage, kuiti u ng'wenso ai ukiile ikilo nangahu kitunta u luli Ee, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi unkendepe.
40 Jesus stopped and told them to bring the blind man to him. As he came over, Jesus asked him,
U Yesu wikimeka akaamulu umuntu nuanso waletwe pang'wa akwe. Hange umupoku nuanso nauhumbie, U Yesu wikamukolya,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, please, I want to see,” he pleaded.
“Utakile nukutendele ntuni? Akalunga, “Bwana ntakile kuona.”
42 “Then see!” Jesus told him. “Your trust in me has healed you.”
U Yesu wikamuila, “Upegwe kuona. Uhueli wako wakukomya.”
43 Immediately the man could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. Everyone there who saw what happened also praised God.
Uu wekapegwa kuona, akamutyata u Yesu nukumukulya Itunda. Naaine ileile eantu ehi akamukulya Itunda.
