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;
Yesu kawagambiliti wantumintumi wakuwi mfanu, kawafunda wafiruwa kuluwa Mlungu mashaka goseri pota na koya.
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
Yesu kalonga, “Mlushi lumu kuweriti na mtoza yakamtira ndiri Mlungu, ama kumjali muntu.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
Na kuweriti na mkenja mulushi lulii yakamgenderiti hakimu pakaluwa haki yakuwi pakatakula, ‘Guntangi mpati shanfuruwa kupata kulawa kwa mngondu gwangu.’
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 shipindi shivuwa hakimu kafiriti ndiri kumtanga, kumbiti upeleru wakuwi kaligambira mweni, ‘Tembera neni namtira ndiri Mlungu pota kulishera wantu,
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
toziya mkenja ayu kangaziyaga nentu, hanumwamuliri shauri lyakuwi. Pantenda ndiri hakendereyi kwiza panu na upeleru hakang'aziyi nentu!’”
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
Mtuwa kendereyiti kutakula, “Mpikaniri ntambu yakatakuliti mtoza ayu mdoda.
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?
Vinu, hashi Mlungu hapeni kawamuliri wantu wakuwi yawamlilira pashiru na paliwala? Hashi, hakakawi kuwatanga?
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?
Nukugambirani, hakawamuliri kanongola. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza hakuweri na njimiru pasipanu?”
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
Yesu kawagambiriti viraa mfanu gwagufata gwa walii yawalilola kuwera waherepa na kuwazarawu wantu wamonga.
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
Kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu wawili wakweniti kugenda Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu kuluwa. Yumu kaweriti Mfalisayu na yumonga mtola kodi.”
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;
Mfalisayu kagolokiti gweka yakuwi na kuluwa shimoyumoyu pakalonga, “‘Mlungu mayagashii, neni nanalwaliya ndiri, nampayu ndiri ama mndiyandiya gambira wantu wamonga. Nonga mayagashii kwaku toziya neni nulifana ndiri gambira mtola kodi ayu.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
Nfunga mala mbili mulijuma, ndaviya fungu lilongu lya vintu vyampatiti.’”
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!
Kumbiti mtola kodi kagolokiti kwa kutali, kanyasula ndiri sheni shakuwi kumpindi, su kahinginika mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, “Mlungu, gumoneri lusungu neni yantenda vidoda!”
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?
Yesu kalonga, “Nukugambirani, mtola kodi kawuyiti ukaya pawamlekeziyiti vidoda vyakatenditi, kumbiti Mfarisayu ulii wamlekeziyiti ndiri vidoda vyakatenda. Toziya woseri yawafira kulikweniziya hawawasulusiyi, na woseri yawalisulusiya weni hawawakweniziyi.”
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
Wantu wamu wamjegiriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawatulili mawoku gakuwi. Wafundwa pawawoniti, wawalewelera ntambu yawatenda,
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.
kumbiti Yesu kawashema wana wizi kwakuwi pakalonga, “Muwaleki wana wadidini wizi kwaneni, namuwalewelera toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu ndo wa wantu gambira awa.
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Nukugambirani nakaka! Muntu yoseri yakanka ndiri Ufalumi wa Mlungu gambira mwana mdidini hapeni kingiri amu.”
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
Mkulu gwa Wayawudi kamkosiyiti Yesu, “mfunda muheri, ntendi shishi nwezi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
Yesu kamkosiya, “Iwera ashi gunshema muheri? Kwahera muntu yakawera muheri kumbiti Mlungu gweka yakuwi.
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,
Gugamana malagaliru, ‘Naguwera muhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, nagumtakulila mpayu muntu yoseri, guwapanani ligoya tati na mawu gwaku.’”
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
Yomberi kawankula, “Kwanjira panweriti mdidini, nugajimira malagaliru goseri aga.”
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 pakapikaniriti aga kamgambira, “Guleka shintu shimu shagufiruwa kutenda. Guwuzi kila shintu shaguwera nashu na guwagawiri wahushu mpiya azi, na gwenga haguweri mlundamali kumpindi, su gwizi na gunfati.”
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
Kumbiti muntu ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kahinginikiti nentu toziya kaweriti mlunda nentu.
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
Yesu kawoniti ntambu yakahinginikiti na katakula, “Ntambu ayi hayiweri vikamala kwa wantu walunda kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu.
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.
Hayiweri ikamala kwa walunda mali kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu kuliku shigongolu shawamshema Ngamiya kupena mushitoboli sha sindanu.”
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
Wantu walii pawapikaniriti aga wakosiya, “Su gaa hakalopoziwi?”
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
Yesu kawankula, “Gawezekana ndiri kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu gawezekana.”
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
Peteru kamgambira, “Guloli! Twenga tuleka kaya zetu na kukufata gwenga.”
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;
Yesu kawagambira, “Yina! Nukugambirani nakaka muntu yoseri yakalekiti numba, ama mdala, ama walongu, ama mawu na watati wakuwi, ama wana toziya ya Ufalumi wa Mlungu
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;
Yesu kawatoliti wantumintumi walii lilongu na wawili na kuwagambira, “Mpikaniri! Twankugenda Yerusalemu kulii kila shintu wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti, kuusu Mwana gwa Muntu hagalawiri.
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
Hawamupanani kwa wantu yawaweriti ndiri Wayawudi, na womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamwigilangi na hawamtemeri mata.
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
Hawamsyatangi ndomontu na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
Kumbiti wantumintumi wavimaniti ndiri vintu vyoseri avi, mana ya visoweru viweriti vififwa kwawomberi, na wavimaniti ndiri shakatakuliti Yesu.
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
Yesu pakaweriti kapakwegera na Yeriku, kuweriti na muntu yakana lwisi yakalivagiti panjira pakaluwa.
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
Pakapikaniriti lipinga lya wantu lyankupita kakosiya, “Kwana shishi?”
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
Womberi wamgambira, “Yesu gwa Nazareti kankupita.”
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
Nayomberi kalila kwa liziwu likulu, “Yesu! Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
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!
Wantu wawalongoleriti wamkalipira pawamgambira kanyamalili. Kumbiti yomberi kendereyiti kubotanga, “Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
Yesu kagolokiti, na kawagambira wamjegeri muntu kana lwisi ulii. Muntu kana lwisi pakasokiti pakwegela, Yesu kamkosiya,
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
“Gufira nukutenderi shishi?” Nayomberi kawankula, “Mtuwa nduwa mpati kuwona kayi.”
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
Yesu kamgambira, “Guwoni! Kwakunjimira kwaku, ndo gupona.”
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
Pala palii, kaweza kuwona, na kamgendera Yesu, kalonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu. Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti hangu, wamkwisiti Mlungu.
