Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
neke akavavula ikihwanikisio ndavule lunoghile kukufunya jaatu, kisila kukatala.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
akatisaha kwealyale umhighi mu likaaja limonga, juno naalayle ikumwoghopa uNguluve kange naavikilagha mu mwoojo kukuvatanga avaanhu.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
mwealyale umfwile jumonga mulikaaja ilio, ghwope akamulutila kekinga akati, “nange unighilile un'koleumulugu ghwango aleke kutoola ifyango.
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
ku nsiki ntali naale ipinyile kuuti antange, neke ye ghukilile unsiki akasagha mu mwoojo ghwae. pope une nikumwoghopa UNguluve nambe kukuvoghopa avaanhu.
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
pope ulwakuva umfwile uju ikung'atasia nikuntanga akave ikighavo kyake neke aleke kukung'atasia kange”.
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
neke uMutwa akajova akati, 'pulikisia fino ajovile umhighi umhosi uju.
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?
pe uNguluve ghwope naileta ikyang'haani ku vimike vake vano viku mulilila pamwisi na pakilo? pe umwene naiiva nulugudo kuveene?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
nikuvavula kuuti, ikwisa ni kyang'haani kuveene ng'ani ng'ani. neke unsiki ghono umwana gwa muunhu ikwisa ilikulwagha ulwitiko lwa iisi?'
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
pepano akavavula ikihwani iki pwevalyale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvoona kuuti aveene kuva vagholofu na kuvapenapula avange,
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
avaanhu vavili vakaluta kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila: jumo aale mFalisayi nu junge n'songesia songo.
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.
umFalisayi akima na akifunya ndiki mu mwoojo ghwake, 'nikukuhongesia Nguluve vule une nanili ndavule avaanhu avange vano vakunyi, avaanhu vano vahoka makole, avavwafu nambe ndavule uju unsongesia songo.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
une ku nywabaha nibuhila kulia kavili kange nitavula ilitekelo mu meto soni sino nikava.
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.'
neke unsongesia songo, alyimile pavutali looli nalyaghelile nambe kukwinamula amaaso ghake kukyanya. akatovatova pakifuva kya mwene akati, 'Nguluve unsaghile une ne muhosi'
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."
nikuvavula, umuunhu ndavule uju alyagomwike kukaja apyanilue inyivi saake sooni kukila ujunge jula ulwakuva gheni juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamusia, ghwope juno ikujisia uNguluve alyantosia.
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.
avaanhu vakatwalila avaanha avadebe kuuti vamwabasie, neke avavulanisivua vake ye vavwene aghu, vakavasigha.
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.
neke uYesu akavakemela kwa mwene akatisagha, 'valeke avaanha avadebe vise kulyine nambe namungavasighahe. ulwakuva uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwe va vaanhu ndavule avuo.
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."
kyang'ani nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno naikvupila uvutwa vwa Nguluve hwene mwana sesene nailikwingila'.
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)
um'baha jumonga akam'posia akati, 'm'bulanisi nono, nivombe kiki neke pambele nive nu vwumi vwa kusila na kusila?' (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
uYesu akamwamul akati, 'kiki ghukung'emela nnono? nakwale umuunhu juno nnono, loli ju Nguluve mwene.
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.'"
usikagwile indaghilo nunga vwafukaghe, nungabudaghe, nungahijaghe, nungolekaghe uvudesi, umwoghopaghe uvaaso nu mamajo.
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
um'baha jula akati, 'isio sooni nigadilile kuhuma ye nili nsoleka”.
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."
uYesu ye asipulike isio akam'bula, “upeelile ikinu kimonga. lunoghile ughusie ifinu fyoni fino ulinafyo neke uvaghavile avakotofu, najuve ghuliva ni kyuma ku kyanya - kange ghwise umbingilile'.
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
neke umofu ye apulike aghuo, akasukunile kyongo ulwakuva alyale ni kyuma kinga.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
pe pano uYesu, akam'bona vule asukunile kyongo akati, 'lutalamu kyongo avanya kyuma kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve!
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."
lwakuva kihugu kyongo ingamila kukilila pa kilioli kya sindano, kuliko kwa mmofu kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve.
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
vala vano valyapulike aghuo vakati, pe ghweveni lino juno ndepoonu ipokua?'
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
uYesu akamula akati, 'sino avaanhu vikunua kuvomba ku ngufu saave neke kwa Nguluve sivombeka'.
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
uPeteli akati, 'Ena, usue tufilekile ifinu fyoni tukuvingilile uve.'
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,
pe pano uYesu akavavula, kyang'haani nikuvavula kuuti, nakwale umuunhu juno ajilekile inyumba, nambe un'dala nambe unyalukolo nambe avapafi nambe avaanha vwimila uvutwa vwa Nguluve,
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.
pe baho ye vakong'anisie vala kijigjo na vavili, akavavula, 'lola, tutogha kuluta kuYelusalemu, na masio ghoni ghano ghalembilue na vavili kujova isa mwana ghwa Muunhu kuuti ghikwilana.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
ulwakuva iiva mumavoko gha vaanhu avaYahudi vikum'bedagha na pikumuligha na pikumfunyila amate.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
kange vikun'kopagha ni fijeledi na kukum'buda neke pakighono ikya vutatu isyuuka.'
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
navalyasikagwile sino ijova isi. nalilisio ili lifisilue kuveene, navalyasitang'inie sino sijovilue
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
pe lukava uYesu pano alipipi ku Yeliko, umuunhu jumonga um'bofu alikalile palubale lwa nsevo akaumagha vantange,
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
ye apulike ilipugha lwa vaanhu likuling'ania akaposia kiki kihumila.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
vakam'bula kuuti uYesu ghwa Nasaleti ikila.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
pe um'bofu jula akalila fiijo akati, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Davidi, unisaghile'.
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."
vala vano valyale vighenda vakan'dalikila um'bofu jula, vakam'bula ujike. neke umwene akaghina kulila fiijo, 'mwana ghwa Davidi, usanighile.
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,
uYesu akima akasuuma umuunhu jula vamulete kwa mwene. pe um'bofu jula ye amuvelelile, uYesu akamposia,
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
ghulonda nikuvombele kiki? akati, 'Mutwa, nilonda kulola'.
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
uYesu akam'bula, 'lino ulolaghe. ulwitiko lwako lukusosisie'.
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.
ku nsiki ghughuo akavisagha ilola, akam'bingilila uYesu na kukumughiniauNguluve. vati valyaghile ili, avaanhu vooni vakamughinia uNguluve.
