Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
Hange wekaaila mpyani netakewe kulompa daima, alekekuta etamaa.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
Akamitambula, “Aokole mulamuli pakesale fulani, hange shanga aumwogopile Itunda nukuaheshimu eantu.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
Aukole mujane pakesale nekanso, nung'wenso aewimuhanga nkua yeedu, nukutambula, “Nzaelye mpate ehakiane numupenzani wane.
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
Kumatungo edu shangaaukole tayali kumusaidila, lakini baada amatungo akatambula munkolo akwe, ataitule unene shanganumwogopile Itunda ang'wi kumuheshimu umuntu,
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
lakini kunsoko umujane uyu ukunsumbula nukumusaidela wapate ehaki akwe, waleke kunkatalya kwa kunezela mala kwa mala.”
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
Kuite umukulu wekalunga, “Tegeelyi nautambue nuanso umulamuli nuanso nedhalimu.
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
Ite Itunda shanga ukuleta ehaki kwateule akwe neakumukela mung'we nuutiku? Ite nuanso shaukiumelyane kung'wao?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Kumuila kina ukuleta ehaki kung'wa kwakukaya. Lakini ematungo nuzie ung'wana wang'wa Adamu, ite ukuuhangane uhueli muunkumbigulu?”
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
Uu wikaaela mpyani eye kuantu baadhi hange niiona eenso kina akete ehaki nukuazalau eantu niangiza.
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
Antu abeele anankie kulongola mihekalu kusali: ung'wi Farisayo ung'wi mutoza ushuru.
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
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. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
Nefunga mahiku abeele kuwiki. Neepumya ezaka mumapato ane ehi nenepata.
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
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 that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
Kumuila, umuntu nuanso ausukile kito akize uaeeigwe etai kukela umuya, kunsoko uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, lakini uyu nuisimya wehumbulwa.
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
Eantu amuletee eana ao neadabu, kuite ahume kuaamba, lakini eamanyisigwa akwe naaine nanso, akaagilya.
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
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 in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
Amini kumuila umuntu wehi nishanga ukusengelya utemi wang'wi Tunda anga ana neanino shangaukingela.”
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
Mutawa ung'wi aumukoilye, wikalunga, 'Mwalimu namuza ntende ule nuusale upanga wakale nakale? (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely 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 lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
Umamanyilene emalago-lekakugoolya, lekakubulaga, lekakia, lekakutambula uteele, aheshimu ebaba ako numama ako.
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
Umutawala nuanso wekalunga, “Imakani ayaite numaambile kupuma uhumba wane.
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, 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 on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Lakini umugole naewigulye nanso wekapata kenyauai lukulu, kunsoko ae mugole lukulu.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
Hange u Yesu wikamugoza nauambilwe ikenyauai ikulu wikalunga, 'Kuule neekatula ikaku eagole kingela ku utemi wang'wi Tunda!
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
Kundogoelyo itotu ikulu kungamea kukela mitundu la sindano, kukela eugole kingela utemi wang'wi Tunda.”
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Awa naeigulye nanso, ekalunga, “Nyenyu gwa, nuekaweza kuokolewa?
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
U Yesu wikasukilya, “Imakani neshangaawezekanile kwa anadamu kung'wi Tunda awezekanile.”
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
U Petelo wikalunga, “Uu usese kaleka kila ekentu nakakutyata uewe.”
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or 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 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to 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 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Kundogoelyo ukuambwa mumekono amataifa akumudhiki nukumutenda ejeuri, nukumutyela emate.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
Baada akumukua iiboko akumubulaga nuluhiku lakatatu ukiiuka.”
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Shanga ealengile imakani nanso, nulukani ulu ite aelupihilwe kung'wao, hange shangaaealengile emakani naatambuwe.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
Ikatula u Yesu naauhugie ku Yeriko, muntu ung'wi mupoku aewikie mumpelompelo abalabala aeukulompa ugunwa,
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
naewigule umilundo wa antu ukeile akakolya ntuni niipumie.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Eekamuila kina u Yesu nua Nazareti ukeile.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Kuite umupoku wekalela kululi, wikalunga, Yesu, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi nehulumele.” Awa naakugenda ekamukenela umupoku nuanso, ekamuela kilaga.
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity 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 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
U Yesu wikimeka akaamulu umuntu nuanso waletwe pang'wa akwe. Hange umupoku nuanso nauhumbie, U Yesu wikamukolya,
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
“Utakile nukutendele ntuni? Akalunga, “Bwana ntakile kuona.”
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
U Yesu wikamuila, “Upegwe kuona. Uhueli wako wakukomya.”
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Uu wekapegwa kuona, akamutyata u Yesu nukumukulya Itunda. Naaine ileile eantu ehi akamukulya Itunda.
