Luka 18
1 Hange wekaaila mpyani netakewe kulompa daima, alekekuta etamaa.
He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
2 Akamitambula, “Aokole mulamuli pakesale fulani, hange shanga aumwogopile Itunda nukuaheshimu eantu.
"There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man.
3 Aukole mujane pakesale nekanso, nung'wenso aewimuhanga nkua yeedu, nukutambula, “Nzaelye mpate ehakiane numupenzani wane.
"In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of my adversary.’
4 Kumatungo edu shangaaukole tayali kumusaidila, lakini baada amatungo akatambula munkolo akwe, ataitule unene shanganumwogopile Itunda ang'wi kumuheshimu umuntu,
"For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for man,
5 lakini kunsoko umujane uyu ukunsumbula nukumusaidela wapate ehaki akwe, waleke kunkatalya kwa kunezela mala kwa mala.”
"‘yet because this woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
6 Kuite umukulu wekalunga, “Tegeelyi nautambue nuanso umulamuli nuanso nedhalimu.
"Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says.
7 Ite Itunda shanga ukuleta ehaki kwateule akwe neakumukela mung'we nuutiku? Ite nuanso shaukiumelyane kung'wao?
"And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping them?
8 Kumuila kina ukuleta ehaki kung'wa kwakukaya. Lakini ematungo nuzie ung'wana wang'wa Adamu, ite ukuuhangane uhueli muunkumbigulu?”
"I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon the earth?"
9 Uu wikaaela mpyani eye kuantu baadhi hange niiona eenso kina akete ehaki nukuazalau eantu niangiza.
Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
10 Antu abeele anankie kulongola mihekalu kusali: ung'wi Farisayo ung'wi mutoza ushuru.
"Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer.
11 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.
"The Pharisee stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;
12 Nefunga mahiku abeele kuwiki. Neepumya ezaka mumapato ane ehi nenepata.
"‘I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.’
13 Lakini nuanso umutoza ushulu, aewimekile kule, shanga auwezilye ata ukuhumbula emiho akwe kilunde, akakuanga kekua kakwe wekalunga, Itunda ngoze unene nimunya milandu.”
"But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O God be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14 Kumuila, umuntu nuanso ausukile kito akize uaeeigwe etai kukela umuya, kunsoko uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, lakini uyu nuisimya wehumbulwa.
"I tell you that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
15 Eantu amuletee eana ao neadabu, kuite ahume kuaamba, lakini eamanyisigwa akwe naaine nanso, akaagilya.
And they kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke them.
16 Lakini u Yesu wakaitanga kung'wakwe wekalunga, “Aleki ana nianino aze kitalane, wala lekikuagilya. Kundogoelyo utemi wang'wi Tunda waantu anga nianso.
But Jesus called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 Amini kumuila umuntu wehi nishanga ukusengelya utemi wang'wi Tunda anga ana neanino shangaukingela.”
"I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get into it."
18 Mutawa ung'wi aumukoilye, wikalunga, 'Mwalimu namuza ntende ule nuusale upanga wakale nakale? (aiōnios g166)
A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
19 U Yesu wikamuila, “Kuneke ukunintanga numuza? Kutile umuntu numuza, ila Itunda wing'wene du.
"Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but God.
20 Umamanyilene emalago-lekakugoolya, lekakubulaga, lekakia, lekakutambula uteele, aheshimu ebaba ako numama ako.
"You know the commandments. "Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother."
21 Umutawala nuanso wekalunga, “Imakani ayaite numaambile kupuma uhumba wane.
"All of these," he replied, "I have kept from my youth up."
22 U Yesu naewigule nanso wikaaila, “Upungukewe nekentu king'wi. Lazima ugulye ehi nukete aagawele awa niagila, nuewe ukutuwa nehazina kilunde kuite nzuu, uuntyate.
And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."
23 Lakini umugole naewigulye nanso wekapata kenyauai lukulu, kunsoko ae mugole lukulu.
But when he heard these words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Hange u Yesu wikamugoza nauambilwe ikenyauai ikulu wikalunga, 'Kuule neekatula ikaku eagole kingela ku utemi wang'wi Tunda!
Jesus looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Kundogoelyo itotu ikulu kungamea kukela mitundu la sindano, kukela eugole kingela utemi wang'wi Tunda.”
Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
26 Awa naeigulye nanso, ekalunga, “Nyenyu gwa, nuekaweza kuokolewa?
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
27 U Yesu wikasukilya, “Imakani neshangaawezekanile kwa anadamu kung'wi Tunda awezekanile.”
"Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
28 U Petelo wikalunga, “Uu usese kaleka kila ekentu nakakutyata uewe.”
Then Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes and followed you."
29 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,
And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
31 Baada akuilingela awa nekumi na mbele, wikaaila, goza, kuunankela kulongoe ku Yerusalemu, ne makani ehi naandekilwe neanyakedagu kuhusu ung'wana wang'wa Adamu akukamileka.
Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Kundogoelyo ukuambwa mumekono amataifa akumudhiki nukumutenda ejeuri, nukumutyela emate.
"He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
33 Baada akumukua iiboko akumubulaga nuluhiku lakatatu ukiiuka.”
"and they will scourge and kill him; and the third day he will rise again."
34 Shanga ealengile imakani nanso, nulukani ulu ite aelupihilwe kung'wao, hange shangaaealengile emakani naatambuwe.
But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
35 Ikatula u Yesu naauhugie ku Yeriko, muntu ung'wi mupoku aewikie mumpelompelo abalabala aeukulompa ugunwa,
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
36 naewigule umilundo wa antu ukeile akakolya ntuni niipumie.
He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
37 Eekamuila kina u Yesu nua Nazareti ukeile.
They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
38 Kuite umupoku wekalela kululi, wikalunga, Yesu, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi nehulumele.” Awa naakugenda ekamukenela umupoku nuanso, ekamuela kilaga.
Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!"
39 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.
Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!"
40 U Yesu wikimeka akaamulu umuntu nuanso waletwe pang'wa akwe. Hange umupoku nuanso nauhumbie, U Yesu wikamukolya,
So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him
41 “Utakile nukutendele ntuni? Akalunga, “Bwana ntakile kuona.”
"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
42 U Yesu wikamuila, “Upegwe kuona. Uhueli wako wakukomya.”
"Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
43 Uu wekapegwa kuona, akamutyata u Yesu nukumukulya Itunda. Naaine ileile eantu ehi akamukulya Itunda.
Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
