Luka 18
1 Yesu ya ba wa almajiransa wani misali, don yă koya musu yadda ya kamata su dinga yin addu’a kullum, ban da fasawa.
And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,
2 Ya ce, “A wani gari, an yi wani alƙali wanda ba ya tsoron Allah, bai kuma kula da mutane ba.
saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
3 A garin nan kuma, akwai wata gwauruwa, wadda ta dinga zuwa wurin alƙalin nan, da roƙo cewa, ‘Ka yi mini adalci tsakanina da maƙiyina.’
But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4 “An daɗe yana ƙi, amma a ƙarshe ya ce cikin tunaninsa, ‘Ko da yake ba na tsoron Allah, ba na kuma kula da mutane ba,
And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard man,
5 amma don gwauruwan nan ta dame ni, zan tabbatar cewa ta sami adalci, domin kada tă gajiyar da ni, da yawan zuwanta.’”
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't wear me out!’”
6 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Ku ji fa abin da alƙalin nan, marar gaskiya, ya ce.
Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 Ashe, Allah ba zai biya wa zaɓaɓɓunsa da suke masa kuka, dare da rana adalci ba? Zai ci gaba da ƙin sauraronsu ne?
And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them?
8 Ina gaya muku, zai tabbatar sun sami adalci, ban da ɓatan lokaci. Amma sa’ad da Ɗan Mutum ya dawo, zai sami bangaskiya a duniya ke nan?”
I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”
9 Yesu ya kuma faɗi wannan misali ga waɗansu masu taƙama da adalcinsu, kuma suna rena sauran mutane ya ce,
Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
10 “Waɗansu mutane biyu sun tafi haikali don yin addu’a. Ɗaya Bafarisiye ne, ɗayan kuma mai karɓar haraji.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Sai Bafarisiyen ya tashi tsaye, ya yi addu’a game da kansa yana cewa, ‘Allah, na gode maka, saboda ni ba kamar sauran mutane ba ne, wato, mafasa, masu aikata mugunta, masu zina, ko kuma kamar mai karɓar harajin nan.
The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Ina azumi sau biyu a mako, ina ba da zakka daga kowane abin da na samu.’
I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’
13 “Amma mai karɓar harajin ya tsaya daga nesa. Bai ma iya ɗaga kansa sama ba, sai ya buga ƙirjinsa, yana cewa, ‘Allah, ka yi mini jinƙai, ni mai zunubi ne.’
The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14 “Ina gaya muku, wannan mutum ne, ba ɗayan ba, ya koma gida baratacce, babu laifi a gaban Allah. Gama duk wanda ya ɗaukaka kansa, za a ƙasƙantar da shi. Wanda kuma ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, za a ɗaukaka shi.”
I say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Mutane suna kawo jarirai wurin Yesu don yă taɓa su. Da almajiransa suka ga haka, sai suka kwaɓe su.
Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Amma Yesu ya kira yaran a wurinsa ya ce, “Ku bar yara ƙanana su zo wurina. Kada ku hana su, gama mulkin Allah na irin waɗannan ne.
But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
17 Gaskiya nake gaya muku, duk wanda ba zai karɓi mulkin Allah kamar ƙaramin yaro ba, ba zai taɓa shiga mulkin ba.”
I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
18 Wani mai mulki ya tambayi Yesu ya ce, “Malam managarci, me zan yi don in gāji rai madawwami?” (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Don me kake kira na managarci? Ai, ba wani nagari, sai Allah kaɗai.
So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
20 Ka san dokokin da suka ce, ‘Kada ka yi zina, kada ka yi kisankai, kada ka yi sata, kada ka ba da shaida ta ƙarya, ka girmama mahaifinka da mahaifiyarka.’”
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
21 Mutumin ya ce, “Ai, tun ina ƙarami, na kiyaye duka waɗannan.”
And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
22 Da Yesu ya ji haka, sai ya ce masa, “Akwai abu ɗaya har yanzu da ya rage maka. Ka sayar da duk abin da kake da shi, ka ba wa matalauta, sa’an nan za ka sami dukiya a sama. Bayan haka, ka zo ka bi ni.”
Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
23 Da jin haka, sai ya ɓata rai, domin shi mai arziki ne sosai.
But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
24 Yesu ya kalle shi ya ce, “Yana da wuya fa, masu arziki su shiga mulkin Allah!
When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!
25 Tabbatacce, zai fi sauƙi raƙumi ya shiga ta kafar allura, da mai arziki ya shiga mulkin Allah.”
It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
26 Waɗanda suka ji wannan suka yi tambaya suka ce, “To, wa zai iya samun ceto?”
So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Abin da ba ya yiwuwa ga mutane, mai yiwuwa ne ga Allah.”
And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Sai Bitrus ya ce, masa, “To, ga shi mun bar kome da muke da shi, don mu bi ka!”
Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”
29 Yesu ya ce musu, “Gaskiya nake gaya muku, ba wanda ya bar gida, ko mata, ko’yan’uwa maza, ko iyaye, ko yara, saboda mulkin Allah,
So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Sai ya kai Sha Biyun gefe ɗaya, ya ce musu, “Za mu Urushalima, kuma dukan abin da annabawa suka rubuta a kan Ɗan Mutum zai cika.
Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:
32 Za a ba da shi ga Al’ummai, za su yi masa ba’a, su zage shi, su tofa masa miyau,
He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,
33 za su yi masa bulala, su kuma kashe shi. A rana ta uku kuma zai tashi.”
and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Almajiran ba su gane da ko ɗaya daga cikin wannan ba. An ɓoye musu ma’anarsa, kuma ba su gane da abin da yake magana a kai ba.
But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
35 Da Yesu ya yi kusa da Yeriko, akwai wani makaho da yake zaune a gefen hanya, yana bara.
Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.
36 Da ya ji taron suna wucewa, sai ya yi tambaya ko mene ne ke faruwa.
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
37 Suka ce masa, “Ai, Yesu Banazare ne ke wucewa.”
So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
38 Sai ya yi kira ya ce, “Yesu, Ɗan Dawuda, ka yi mini jinƙai!”
Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Mutane da suke gaba suka kwaɓe shi, suka ce masa ya yi shiru. Amma sai ya ƙara ɗaga murya, yana cewa, “Ɗan Dawuda, ka yi mini jinƙai!”
Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Sai Yesu ya tsaya, ya ba da umarni a kawo mutumin wurinsa. Da ya zo kusa, Yesu ya tambaye shi ya ce,
So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
41 “Me kake so in yi maka?” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Ubangiji, ina so in sami ganin gari.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
42 Yesu ya ce masa, “Ka sami ganin garinka; bangaskiyarka ta warkar da kai.”
Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
43 Nan da nan, ya sami ganin garinsa, kuma ya bi Yesu, yana yabon Allah. Da dukan mutane suka ga wannan, sai su ma suka yabi Allah.
And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
