Luke 18
1 And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
Boka po atikuwabakiya mfano wa namna babapali kwa loba daima, ni kana bakate tamaa.
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
Atibaya,'Pabile ni hakimu katika mji fulani, ambaye atimwogopa kwaa Nnongo ni kubaheshimu bandu.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
Panile ni mjane katika jiji lyo, nayemba atiyenda mara nyingi, abaya, uniyangatiye pata haki dhidi ya mpinzani wango.'
4 And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself—Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
Kwa muda mrefu abi tayari kwaa kumyangatia, lakini baada ya muda atibaya kumoyo bake,'ingawa nenga nimyogopa kwaa Nnongo ama kubaeshimu bandu,
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
lakini kwa lale yono mjane andakunichumbwa nipala kumnyangatia pata haki yake, kana iche nichosha kwa kuniichilia mara kwa mara.”
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
Boka po Ngwana abaite,'mpekani chabaite hayo hakimu dhalimu.
7 And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
Je Nnongo apaleta kwaa haki kwa bateule haki kwa bateule bake babaleliya mumtwekati ni kitamunyo? Je ywembe apala baa mwaminifu kwabe?
8 I tell you—He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
Ninda kuwabakiya kwamba apaleta haki kwabo upesi. Lakini wakati mwana wa Adamu paicha, Je apala kolya imani mukilambo?'
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
Ngapa abakiya mfano wono kwa baadhi ya bandu babakuibona bene baa na haki ni kubacharawa bandu benge,
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
Bandu abele baabwike yenda mulihekalu sali, yumo mfarisayo ywenge mtola ushuru.
11 The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, —extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;
Farisayo atiyema kaloba makowe haga kunani yake mwene,'Nnongo, nindakushukuru kwa vile nenga si kati bandu benge ambao ni nianyang, anyi, bandu basio wadilifu, azinzi, ama kati yono mtoza ushuru.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
Nindataba mara ibele kila wiki. Nipiya zaka katika mapato yoti yaniyapata.
13 But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, —would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying—O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!
Lakini yolo mtoza ushuru, atiyema kuutalu, bila yawecha kakatuya minyo gake kumaunde, atikopwa kiuba chake nabaya, “Nnongo, nirehemu nenga mwene sambi.
14 I tell you—This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Nindakuwabakiya, “Mundu yolo atibuya kaya abi atibalangilwa haki kuliko yolo ywenge, kwa sababu kila ywa ikweza apala uluywa, lakini kila mundu ywa nyenyekeya apala kakatuliwa.
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
Bandu batimletia bana babe achanga, linga aweze kubakamua, lakini anapunzi bake pababweni ni galo, Batibakanikiya.
16 But, Jesus, called them near, saying—Suffer, the children, to be coming unto me, and do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
Lakini Yesu atikubakema ni kubaya, “Mubaleke bana achunu baichange kwango nee, wala kanamubakanikii. Maana ufalme wa Nnongo ni wa banda kati abo.
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Amin, nindakuwabakiya, mundu yeyoti ywapokeite kwaa ufalme wa Nnongo kati mwana ni dhahili apala jingya kwaa.'
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
Mtawala yumo atikumlokiya, akibaya,'Mwalimu mwema, nipange namani lenga niurithi ukoti wanga yomoka?' (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
Yesu atikum'bakiya,'kitumbwe namani kunikema mwema? Ntopo mundu ywabile mwema, ila Nnongo kichake.
20 The commandments, thou knowest: —Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, —Honour thy father and mother,
Uzitangite amri-kana uzini, kana ujibe, kana ubulage, kana ubaye ubocho, ubaheshimu tate ni mao bako.
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
Yolo mtawala atibaya,'makowe aga goti nikuyakamwa panibile kijana.'
22 And Jesus, hearing, said unto him—Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in [the] heavens; and come! be following me.
Yesu payowine ago ammakiye, “utipongokiwe ni kikowe chimo, lachima upeyeme vyoti vya ubi navyo ni ubagane kwa maskini, ni mwenga upala baa ni hazina kumaunde, boka po uiche, unikengame.'
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
Lakini tajiri payowine ago, atiuzunika muno kwa sababu abile tajiri wanambone.
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
Boka po Yesu, amweni pauzunike muno atibaya,'Jinsi gani yaipalanga mgumu kwa matajiri jingya katika ufalme wa Nnongo.
25 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.
Maana ni rahisi muno kwa ngamya petamu, liembwa lya sindano, kuliko tajiri jingya mu'ufalme wa Nnongo.'
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
Balo babayowine ago, batibaya,'nganyi bai, ywawecha lokolelwa?'
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
Yesu kayangwa,'makowe yagawecha kanika kwaa kwa mundu kwa Nnongo yanda wechekana.”
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
Petro kabaya,'Naam. twenga tutileka kila kilebe ni kukukengama wenga.'
29 And, he, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you—No one, is there, who hath left—house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, —for the sake of the kingdom of God;
Boka po Yesu atikuwabakiya, Amin, nindakuwabakiya kwamba ntopo mundu yailei nyumba ama nnyumbowe, ama anunage, ama alongowe ana bana, kwa ajili ya ufalme wa Nnongo,
31 And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them—Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;
Baada yakubakusanya balo komi ni ibele, atikuwabakiya,'lola, tupala panda yenda Yerusalemu, ni makowe yoti yatiyandikwa ni manabii husu mwana wa Adamu yapata timiya.
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
Kwa maana apajeilwa mumaboko ga bandu bamataifa ni apatendelwa dhihaka ni pyata, ni kumtemiya mmate.
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
Baada ya kumkombwa iboko kum'bulaga ni lichoba lya tatu apauluka.'
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
Baelewite kwaa, makowe aga, ni neno labile liiywa kwabe, ni baelewite kwaa, makowe yabaite.
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
Yabile Yesu karibia Yeriko, mundu yumo kipofu abile atamite mbwega ya ndela kaloba msaada,
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
Payowine bandu banyansima bapeta atilokya namani chakipitike?
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
Batikum'bakiya kwamba Yesu mwana wa Nazareti andapeta.
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
Nga yolo kipofu atilela kwa lilobe, nabaya, Yesu, mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu.'
39 And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out—O Son of David! have mercy upon me!
Balo bababile kabatwanga batikumkalipiya yolo kipofu, nakum'bakiya ndooti, lakini yembe atizidi lela kwa lilobe mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu.
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
Yesu kayema niamuru mundu yolo aletwe kwake boka po yolo kipofu atikuyogeliya, Yesu atikunlokiya.
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
Upala nikupangiye namani?' Atibaya,'Ngwana, nipala bona.'
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
Yesu atikum'bakiya,'upate bona. Imani yako ikuponyile.'
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
Mara yeyelo apatike bona, akamkengama Yesu atimtukuza Nnongo pabamweni lelo, bandu boti batikumsifu Nnongo.
