Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Wabhabhora omfano yaje ehwanziwa hulabhe Ongolobhe ensiku zyonti wala mgajekate etama.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
wayanga, 'Pali no lozi katika iboma limlimo sahuputa Ongolobhe wala sahwogapa abhantu.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Na katika iboma elyo pali noshe ofwele ali ahubhaliila bhalila, ayanga, 'Pele ehaki na adui bhane.'
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Wapa humda akhene antele wayanga humwoyo gwakwe, iwapo sehuputa Ongolobhe wala sehwogopa abhantu,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
lelo afwanaje ofwele ono avisya ambahupe ehaki yakwe asayenza andisye anenzele tee.”
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Ogosi wayanga tejerezi gayanga ola olozi odhalimu.
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
No Ngolobhe je Sabhabhapele elyoli bhaala bhateulie bhakwe bhabhahuli lila osaya no siku? wape jivi hwabhahale?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Embabhora ayibhapera ehaki nanali. Lelo nayenza Omwana owa Adamu je ayiyilola imani pa dunia? '
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Wabhabhora ofano ogu abhantu bhabhahwikinalile eyaji abhabhare bhalinelyoli bhabhasolanya abhanje wonti,
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
'Abhantu bhabhele bhazumile mwibhanza apute: Omo Farisayo owabhele asonjezya esonga.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
Ola oFarisayo wemelela arabhe eshi humwoyo gwakwe, 'Ee Ngolobhe, ehusalifwa afwanaje ane sendi neshe abhantu abhanje, bhabhafyala, adhalimu, ahuni, wala neshe ono yasonjezya esonga.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Ane efunga habhele hurungo. Efumia ifungu elyakumi katika amapato gane gonti. '
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
Lelo ola yasonjezya esonga ahemeleye sahutari, wala gagawezizye hata huhwenye amaso gakwe amwanya esho ahwikhamile khonile pashifubha ayanga, 'Ee Ngolobhe, osajile ane endibhibhi.'
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Embabhola, ono ahishile abhara akhaya yakwe abhaziwe elyoli ashile ola afwanaje kila wa hwinyunula adhiriwa wape ajidhiliye abhakuziwe. '
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Bhatwalila abhana abhere ili abhapalamasye, lelo asambelezewa bhakwe, nabhabhalola bhabhadamile.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Esho oYesu wakiwzya bhale hwamwe hale wayanga, 'Bhareshi abhana adodo bhenze hwiline wala msabhagomele afwanaje abhantu neshe ebho oumwene owa Ngolobhe wabho.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
'Eteshi embabhola, omntu yeyonti ya sahwejelela oumwene owa Ngolobhe nenshe omwana ododo sagaayinjila nantele. '
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Antale omntu ogosi omo abhozezye ayanjile sambelezi mwinza embombe wele ili empewe agale owomi owa hanihani?' (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
O Yesu wabhabhora, 'Eshi mnkwizya mwimza? Nomo omwinza ila aliomo wape yo Ngolobhe.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Ozimenye endijizwo- ogajebhe huni, ogajegoje, ogaje ahwibhe, ogaje ayanje ilenka obhaheshimu oYise waho no nyina waho.
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
Wayanga ege gonti engakhete afume huwana wane.'
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
O Yesu nawovwa ego abhorale, “Apongoshewe izu limo osele. Kazya vyolinavyo vyonti obhagabhile apena nawe abhabhe nembuto amwanya nantele enze ondodore. '
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Lelo nahovwezye ego akongobheye tee, afwanaje alineshoma shiminji.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
O Yesu nawalola shila wayanga, 'Hushida wele abheshoma bhayinjila oumwene owa Ngolobhe!
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Afwanaje shororo engamia ashile pitundo elye shindano ashile otakili ahwinjile oumwene owa Ngolobhe. '
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Bhape bhabahovwe bhayanjile wenu eshi yagaulwe?'
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Wayanga, 'Gasegawezeha wabhanadamu gawezehana hwa Ngolobhe.”
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
O Petro wayanga, 'Enya, ate tivileshire evintu vyetu vyonti na hurondorere.
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
'Wabhabhora, Lyoli embabhora nomo omntu yayireshire enyumba yakwe, au oshe, au ohoro, au apafi, au abhana, kwajili eye Umwene owa Ngolobhe,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Wabhega bhala thenashara, wabhabhora, 'Enyi, tizubha abhale hu Yerusalemu, amambo gonti gawatimiziwe Omwana owa Adamu gasibwililwe na kuwa.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Afwanaje abhakhatwe mmakhono age bha Mataifa aibhombelwa edhahaka, abhabhombelwe azyongolwe nu huswele amate.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Wape bhayihukhoma namajeredi esho bhayihugoga, isiku elyatatu ayizyoha. '
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Lelo sebhahelewa enongwa ezyo atahashe, ejambo elyo lyafisilwe hwabhahale, wala sebhamenye gagayagwilwe.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Yabha na apalamie hu Yeriko, omntu omo kipofu ali akheye pashenje ye dara alabhaga esadaka,
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
na wovwa mabongano na bhashila wabhozya huliyenu.
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Bhabhola oYesu owa hu Nazareti ashira.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Wakhora ehoro wayanga, Yesu Mwana wa Daudi, osajire.'
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
basi bhala bhatagaliye bhadamila ili apome, lelo umwahara ahonjezezye sana apayushe izu, 'Ee Mwana wa Daudi, osajire.
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
O Yesu wemerela wamurisya atwarwe hwamwahare nu paramiye abhozezye,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
'Ohwanza ebhombele yenu?' Wayanga, 'Gosi, empate alole.'
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
O Yesu wabhora, 'Opewe alole. Olweteho olweho luponizye. '
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
Mara eyo wapata alore, wabhenjezye ohu ahusifu Ongolobhe. Na bhantu bhonti na bhalori ego bhasifure Ongolobhe.
