Luka 18
1 Kisha akabhajobhela mfano bhwa namna kyabhilondeka kus'oka daima, not bhasikati tamaa.
And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 akajobha, 'Kwajhele ni hakimu mu mji fulani, ambajhe an'tileghe lepi K'yara na abhaheshimuili lepi bhanu.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 Kwajhele ni mjane mu jiji e'lu, ni muene andotili mara jhimehele, akajobha, 'Nitangatilayi kukabha haki dhidi jha mpinzani ghwangu.'
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 Kwa muda mrefu ajhelepi tayari kun'saidila, lakini baada jha muda akajobha mu muoyo bhwa muene, `Ingawa nene niken'tila lepi K'yara au kuheshimu munu,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Lakini kwa vile ojho mjane akanisumbula nibeta kun'tangatila kukabha haki jha muene, ili asihidi kunitondesya kwa kunihidila mara kwa mara.”
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Kisha Bwana akajobha, 'Pe'lekesiajhi kya ajobhili hakimu ojhu dhalimu.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Je K'yara kabhele ibeta lepi kuleta haki kwa bhateule bha muene ambabho bhakandelele kiru ni musi? Je, muene ibeta lepi kujha mvumilivu kwa bhene?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 Nikabhajobhela kujha ibeta haki kwa bhene manyata. Lakini mwana ghwa Adamu pa ibeta kuhida, je, ibetakukolela imani paduniani?'
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 Ndipo akabhajobhela mfano obho kwa baadhi jhe bhanu ambabho bhikibhona bhene kujha bhenye haki ni kubhadharau bhanu bhangi.
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 'Bhanu bhabhele bhakwelili kulota ku hekalu kusali: Jhongi Mfarisayo ni jhongi mtoza ushuru.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Farisayo akajhema akasoka mambo agha juu jha muene K'yara nikubhombesya kwandabha nene sio kama bhanu bhamana ambabho bhanyang'anyi, bhanu bhabhabelikujha bhaadilifu bhazinzi, au kama ojho mtoza ushuru.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Nifunga mara sibhele khila wiki. Nipisya zaka mu mapato ghoha ghanikabha.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Lakini jhola mtoza ushuru, ajhemili patali, abhwesilepi hata kujhinula mihu gha muene kumbinguni, akatobha kifua kya muene akajobha, 'k'yara nirehemu nene mwenye dhambi.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Nikabhajobhela, munu ojho abhujhili kunyumba khoni abhalangibhu haki kuliko jhongi jhola, kwandabha kila jhe ikikwesya ibeta kuselesibhwa, lakini khila munu jheikaji nyenyekela ibetakujhinulibhwa.”
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Bhanu bhandetili bhana bhabhi bhadebe, ili abhwesiajhi kubhagusa, lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bho bhaghabhuene aghu bhabhabesili.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16 Lakini Yesu akabhakuta kwa muene akajobha, 'bhalekayi bhana bhadebe bhahidayi kwa nene, wala musibhabesi. Maana ufalme bhwa K'yara ndo ghwa bhanu kama abhu.
But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, munu jhejhioha jhaabelili kuupokela ufalme bhwa K'yara kama muana ni dhahiri ibeta lepi kujhingila.'
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Mtawala mmonga akan'kota, akajobha, 'mwalimu n'nofu, niketabhuli ili niurithiajhi uzima bhwa milele?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Kwandajhakiki ukanikuta mwema? Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe n'nofu, muene.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
20 Usimanyili amri- usizini, usikomi, usiheji, usishuhudili udesi, bhaheshimuajhi dadiwaku ni nyinuaku.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Mtawala jhola akajobha, 'Mambo agha ghoha nighakamuili kuhomela ne n'songolo.'
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Yesu bho aghapeliki aghu akan'jobhela, “Up'hong'okibhu lijambo limonga. Lazima uhemelesiajhi fyoha fya ujhenafu na ubhagabhilayi maskini, nabhi wibetakujha ni hazina kumbinguni -kisha hidayi unikesiajhi.'
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Lakini tajiri bho ap'eliki aghu, ahuzuniki sana, kwandabha ajhele tajiri sana.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 Kisha Yesu, akambona kyaahuzuniki nesu akajobha, 'Jinsi gani kyajhibetakujha panonono kwa tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Mana ni rahisi muni kwa ngamia kup'eta mu lilende lya sindanu, kuliko tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.'
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Bhala bhabhap'eliki aghu, bhakajobha, 'Niani basi, jhaibeta kuokolibhwa?'
And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu ajibili, 'Mambo ghaghabelili kubhwesekana kwa mwanadamu kwa K'yara ghibhwesekana.”
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Petro akajobha, 'Naam, tete tukilekili khila khenu na tukukesisi bhebhe.'
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela, Muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela kujha ajhelepi munu jha alekhili nyumba au n'dala, au ndongo, au bhazazi au bhana, kwandabha jha ufalme bhwa K'yara,
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Baada jha kubhabhonganiya bhala kumi ni bhabhele akabhajobhela, 'Langayi, twikwela kulota Yerusalemu, ni mambo ghoha ambagho ghalembibhu ni manabii kuhusu Mwana ghwa Adamu ghibeta kukamilisibhwa.
Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Kwa mana ibeta kupokelibhwa mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa ni kubhombibhwa dhihaka ni jeuri ni kufunyibhwa mata.
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 Baada jhe kun'tobha fiboko bhibeta kun'koma ni ligono lya tatu ibeta kufufuka.'
And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Bhajhelibhu lepi mambo agha, ni lilobhi ele lyafighibhu kwa bhene, nabhajhelibhu lepi mambo ghaghajobhibhu.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 Ikajha Yesu bho akaribili Yeriko, munu mmonga kipofu ajhele atamili kando jha barabara isoka msaada,
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 bho ap'eliki umati bhwa bhanu bhip'eta akotili kitokela kiki.
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 Bhakan'jobhela Yesu ghwa Nazareti ip'eta.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 Hivyo kipofu jhola akalela kwa sauti, akajobha, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Daudi, unirehemu.'
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Bhala bhabhagendeghe bhakanjwangila kipofu ojhu, bhakan'jobhela agudamayi. Lakini muene ajhendelili kulela kwa sauti, Mwana ghwa Daudi unirehemu.
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Yesu akajhema akaamuru munu jhola aletibhwayi kwa muene. Kisha jhola kipofu bho an'karibili, Yesu akan'kota,
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 'Wilonda nikuketalayi kiki?' Akajobha, 'Bwana, nilonda kulola.'
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Ubhwesiajhi kulola. Imani jha jhobhi ikuponyisi.'
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Mara jhejhuejhu akabhwesya kulola, akan'kesya Yesu ni kun'tukusya k'yara. Bhobhalibhwene e'le bhanu bhoha bhan'sifiri K'yara.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.
