< Luke 18 >

1 And he spoke a parable to them [to this end], that men ought always [to] pray, and not to faint;
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao chitagu chati, ŵandu akusachilwa apopeleje katema kose pangapela.
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man.
Ŵatite kuti, “Pamusi umo, jwapali jwakulamula jumo, jwanganjogopa Akunnungu natamuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu.
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
Nipele, jwapali jwankongwe jwakuŵililwa jumo pa musi wo juŵajaulilaga kaŵili kaŵili jwakulamulajo achitiji, ‘Munjenjele kuti ngole chigolochelo changu kutyochela kwa jwammagongo jwangu.’
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Kwa moŵa gamajinji jwakulamula jo nganasaka kwachenjela nambo kambesi kakwe ŵatite mu ntima mwakwe, ‘Atamuno ngangwajogopa Akunnungu namuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu,
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
nambo kwaligongo lya jwakuwililwa ju akuusakalisya une, chinaachenjele kuti akole chigolochelo chakwe nambo iŵaga ngambanganya yeleyo chambesye une pakwika kaŵili kaŵili!’”
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Nipele, Ambuje ŵajendelechele, “Mpilikane yatite pakuŵecheta jwakulamula jwangalumbana jo.
7 And will not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them?
Uli, Akunnungu ngaŵaachenjela ŵele ŵandu uŵasagwile, ŵakwalilila muusi ni chilo ŵala? Ana pane chakaŵe kwapilikanila?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?
Ngunsalila kuti chachachenjela ŵanyawo chitema pe. Nambo uli pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu chiŵasimane ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila pachilambo pano?”
9 And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Nombe Che Yesu ŵatanjile sooni chitagu kwa ŵakuliganisya kuti akupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwanyelusya ŵane.
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
“Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukupopela, jumo ŵaliji Mfalisayo ni jwine ŵaliji jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
“Jwele Mfalisayo jo ŵajimi ni kupopela chikatikati achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, nguntogolela pakuŵa uneji nganima chisau ŵandu ŵane, ŵachiswamba ni ŵachigongomalo ni ŵachikululu. Natamuno chisau jwakukumbikanya nsongo ju.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Ngutaŵa kaŵili kwa chijuma ni ngutyosya liunjili lya kakumi lya indu yose ingupata.’
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
“Nambo jwakukumbikanya nsongo jula, ŵajimi kwakutalichila, nombejo nganalinga kulola kwinani nambo ŵaliputile pa ntima pao kwa kulilasika achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, mungolele chanasa une jundi ni sambi!’”
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila mwanya, jwakukumbikanya nsongo jo ŵausile kumangwao ali akundikwe ni Akunnungu kumpunda Mfalisayo jo. Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakulikwesya chatuluswe ni jwakulitulusya chakweswe.”
15 And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi kuti ŵasajichile makono ni kwapa upile. Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiweni ŵakalipile.
16 But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵanache achanandi achitiji, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, nkalekasya pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela aŵa.
17 Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
Ngunsalila isyene kuti jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela mwanache jwannandi, ngajinjila mu Umwenye ng'oo.”
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Chilongola jumo jwa Ŵayahudi ŵammusisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya jwambone ana ndende chichi pakuti ngole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is] God.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi nkuumilanga une jwambone? Ngapagwa jwali jwambone akaŵe Akunnungu pe.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
Nkugamanyilila makanyo ga Akunnungu, ‘Kasintenda chikululu atamuno kasimmulaga ni kasinjiŵa atamuno kasinsala ya unami ni mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
Ŵelewo ŵatite, “Yeleyo yose naikamulichisye chitandilile mu uchanda wangu.”
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Che Yesu paŵapilikene gelego ŵansalile kuti, “Chindu chimo chisoŵile kukwenu, nkasumisye yose inkwete ni mbiya syo nkaasapulile ŵakulaga, nomwe ni pachinchikola ipanje kwinani, nipele njise munguye.”
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
Nambo mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵasupwiche nnope pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Che Yesu paŵammweni mundu jo aninkusongoneka ni ŵatite “Yaikuti pakulepelecheka kwa ŵandu ŵaali ni ipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Eloo, ili yangalemwa kwa chinyama chachikuŵilanjikwa ngamia kwinjila pachipowo cha sindano kupunda jwaali ni chipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
26 And they that heard [it], said, Who then can be saved?
Ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene yeleyo ŵausisye, “Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulupuswa?”
27 Then he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile achitiji, “Indu yangaikukomboleka kwa ŵandu, kwa Akunnungu ikukomboleka.”
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, uwe tulesile indu yetu yose ni kunkuya alakwe!”
29 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwajilesile nyuumba pane ŵankwawo pane achapwakwe pane achaŵelesi pane achiŵanagwe ligongo lya Umwenye wa Akunnungu,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
chapochele yejinji nnope aka katemaka ni katema kakakwika chachipochela umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Then he took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Che Yesu ŵaajigele pajika ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, ŵaasalile, “Mpilikane! Tukukwesya kwaula ku Yelusalemu ni kweleko indu yose iyalembekwe ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu yankati Mwana jwa Mundu chiiŵe isyene.
32 For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on;
Pakuŵa chachajausya kwa ŵandu ŵangosyo sine nombe ŵanyawo chachanyelusya ni kwatukana ni kunsunila mata.
33 And they will scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he will rise again.
Champute ibokola ni kummulaga nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu kutyochela pa chiwa chao chasyuche.”
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵecheteje Che Yesu go pakuŵa galiji gamasisikwe kukwao nombewo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu akuŵecheta nkati chichi.
35 And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;
Katema Che Yesu paŵaŵandichile ku Yeliko, jwapali mundu jumo jwangalola juŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
36 And hearing the multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
Paŵapilikene ŵandu ŵajinji aninkupita ŵausisye “Ana kwana chichi?”
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Ŵansalile, “Che Yesu ŵa ku Nasaleti akupita.”
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
Nombewo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu, Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
39 And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
Ŵandu uŵalongolele ŵala ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo ŵelewo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya achitiji, “Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
40 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵapeleche paujo pao. Jwangalola jula paŵaŵandichile Che Yesu ŵammusisye,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
“Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngusaka ngombole kulola sooni.”
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nnole! Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise to God.
Papopo pepo ŵakombwele kulola sooni ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu achakusyaga Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵalapile Akunnungu.
