Luka 18
1 Nake Jesũ akĩhe arutwo ake ngerekano ya kũmaruta atĩ nĩmagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhooyaga hĩndĩ ciothe mategũkua ngoro.
He was speaking then (and *ko*) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no*) and not to lose heart
2 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe nĩ kwarĩ na mũtuanĩri ciira ũteetigagĩra Ngai kana agatĩĩa andũ.
saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
3 Na itũũra-inĩ rĩu nĩ kwarĩ mũtumia ũmwe wa ndigwa wathiiaga kũrĩ we kaingĩ akamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩhĩria harĩ thũ ciakwa.’
A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
4 “No mũtuanĩri ciira ũcio akĩrega kũmũteithia kwa ihinda. No marigĩrĩrio akĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘O na gũtuĩka ndiĩtigĩrĩte Ngai kana ngatĩĩa andũ-rĩ,
And not (he was desiring [to do] *N(k)O*) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N(k)O*) man respect,
5 no tondũ wa ũrĩa mũtumia ũyũ wa ndigwa atiindaga agĩĩthĩĩnia, nĩngũtigĩrĩra ciira wake nĩwatuuo na kĩhooto nĩguo atige kũũnogagia na gũtindaga agĩũka!’”
because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
6 Nake Mwathani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwaigua ũrĩa mũtuanĩri ciira ũcio ũtarĩ kĩhooto oigire?
Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
7 Githĩ o nake Ngai ndagatua ciira na kĩhooto wa arĩa ake ethuurĩire, o arĩa mamũkayagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ? No aage kũmateithia na ihenya?
And God certainly not (may do *N(k)O*) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k*) (to Him *N(k)O*) day and night, and (be patient *N(k)O*) in regard to them?
8 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, agaatigĩrĩra atĩ nĩmaciirĩrwo na kĩhooto, o na ningĩ na ihenya. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, rĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agooka-rĩ, nĩagakora andũ metĩkĩtie gũkũ thĩ?”
I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
9 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩarĩria andũ amwe arĩa meĩhokaga o ene, magetuaga athingu na makahũthagia andũ arĩa angĩ othe, akĩmahe ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK(o)*) the others parable this.
10 “Andũ eerĩ nĩmambatire hekarũ-inĩ kũhooya. Ũmwe aarĩ Mũfarisai na ũcio ũngĩ aarĩ mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti.
Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Mũfarisai ũcio akĩrũgama akĩĩhooera we mwene, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai, nĩndagũcookeria ngaatho nĩgũkorwo ndihaana ta andũ arĩa angĩ, arĩa atunyani, na arĩa mekaga ũũru, na itharia, o na kana ta mwĩtia ũyũ wa mbeeca cia igooti.
The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK(o)*) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
12 Nĩndĩĩhingaga kũrĩa irio maita meerĩ o kiumia, na ngaruta gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe iria nyonaga.’
I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
13 “No rĩrĩ, mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti ũcio akĩrũgama o haraaya; na ndaigana gũtiira maitho make na igũrũ, no nĩ kwĩgũtha eegũthaga gĩthũri enyiihĩtie, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai, njiguĩra tha, niĩ mũndũ mwĩhia.’
(and *ko*) (but *no*) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k*) the breast (of him *NK(o)*) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
14 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mwĩtia mbeeca cia igooti nĩainũkire atuĩtwo mũthingu mbere ya Ngai gũkĩra ũcio ũngĩ. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe wĩtũgagĩria nĩakanyiihio nake ũrĩa wĩnyiihagia nĩagatũũgĩrio.”
I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k*) (compared with *n(o)*) (that [one]. *N(k)O*) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
15 Na rĩrĩ, andũ nao nĩmarehagĩra Jesũ twana nĩguo atũhutie. Arutwo ake mona ũguo, makĩmakaania.
They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N(k)O*) them.
16 Nowe Jesũ agĩĩta twana tũu harĩ we, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei twana tũu tũũke kũrĩ niĩ, tigai gũtũgiria, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩ wa arĩa matariĩ ta tuo.
But Jesus (called *N(k)O*) them (speaking; *N(k)O*) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe ũtakamũkĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai ta kaana ndakaũtoonya.”
Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
18 Mũnene ũmwe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani mwega, ingĩĩka atĩa nĩguo ngaagaya muoyo wa tene na tene?” (aiōnios g166)
And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
19 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkũnjĩta mwega nĩkĩ? Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe mwega tiga Ngai we wiki.
Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
20 We nĩũĩ ũrĩa maathani moigĩte, ‘Ndũkanatharanie, na ndũkanoragane, na ndũkanaiye, na ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo, na tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa.’”
The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k*)
21 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maathani macio mothe ndũire ndĩmarũmĩtie kuuma ndĩ o mũnini.”
And he said; These all (I kept *N(k)O*) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko*)
22 Jesũ aigua ũguo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Harĩ ũndũ ũmwe ũtigarĩtie gwĩka. Thiĩ wendie kĩrĩa gĩothe ũrĩ nakĩo ũhe athĩĩni mbeeca icio, na nĩũkũgĩa na mũthiithũ igũrũ. Ũcooke ũũke ũnũmĩrĩre.”
Having heard then (these things *k*) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no*) (heavens; *N(k)O*) and come, do follow Me.
23 Rĩrĩa mũnene ũcio aiguire ũguo, akĩigua kĩeha mũno, tondũ aarĩ mũtongu mũno.
And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N(k)O*) he was for rich extremely.
24 Jesũ akĩmũrora, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ nĩ hinya andũ arĩa atongu gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai-ĩ!
Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N(k)O*)
25 Nĩ ũhũthũ ngamĩĩra ĩhungurĩre irima rĩa cindano, gũkĩra gĩtonga gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N(k)O*) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
26 Nao arĩa maiguire ũhoro ũcio makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩkĩhota kũhonoka?”
Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
27 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ marĩa matahotekaga nĩ andũ nĩmahotekaga nĩ Ngai.”
But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
28 Nake Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtigĩte maũndũ maitũ mothe tũgakũrũmĩrĩra!”
Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N(k)O*) (*no*) ([our] own [things] *N(k)O*) (and *k*) followed You.
29 Jesũ akĩmeera, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtigĩte mũciĩ wake, kana mũtumia wake, kana ariũ a nyina, kana aciari ake, o na kana ciana ciake, nĩ ũndũ wa ũthamaki wa Ngai,
And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ agĩtwara arutwo ake arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ handũ keheri-inĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ Jerusalemu, na maũndũ mothe marĩa maandĩkirwo nĩ anabii makoniĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya mahingio.
Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N(k)O*) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
32 Nake nĩakaneanwo kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. Nao nĩ makaamũnyũrũria, na mamũrume, na mamũtuĩre mata, na mamũhũũre iboko, o na mamũũrage.
He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
33 Naguo mũthenya wa gatatũ nĩakariũka.”
And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
34 Nao arutwo ake makĩaga kũmenya ũndũ o na ũmwe wa macio. Nĩmahithĩtwo ũhoro ũcio na matiamenyire ũrĩa aameeraga.
And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
35 Nake Jesũ akuhĩrĩria Jeriko, mũndũ warĩ mũtumumu nĩaikarĩte mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra akĩhooya mbeeca.
It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N(k)O*)
36 Rĩrĩa aiguire andũ aingĩ makĩhĩtũka, akĩũria ũrĩa gwekĩkaga.
Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o*) would be this.
37 Andũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi ũrahĩtũka.”
They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
38 Nake akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ, mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha.”
And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
39 Arĩa maatongoretie makĩmũkaania makĩmwĩra akire, nowe agĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa Daudi, njiguĩra tha!”
And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N(k)O*) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
40 Nake Jesũ akĩrũgama, agĩathana, mũndũ ũcio atwarwo harĩ we.
Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
41 Rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie, Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ngwenda njooke kuona.”
(saying *ko*) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka kuona, gwĩtĩkia gwaku nĩkuo gwatũma ũhone.”
And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
43 O rĩmwe akĩambĩrĩria kuona, nake akĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ, akĩgoocaga Ngai. Rĩrĩa andũ othe moonire ũguo, o nao makĩgooca Ngai.
And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
