Luka 18
1 Kisha akabhajobhela mfano bhwa namna kyabhilondeka kus'oka daima, not bhasikati tamaa.
And he spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be faint-hearted:
2 akajobha, 'Kwajhele ni hakimu mu mji fulani, ambajhe an'tileghe lepi K'yara na abhaheshimuili lepi bhanu.
saying, There was in a certain city a judge, who feared not God, nor 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 kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my 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 some time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I neither fear 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 coming for ever she weary me out.
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 will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
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. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, will 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 to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
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 by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, 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 gain.
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.
But the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O 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 will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.
15 Bhanu bhandetili bhana bhabhi bhadebe, ili abhwesiajhi kubhagusa, lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bho bhaghabhuene aghu bhabhabesili.
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing it, 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 to him, saying, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
17 Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, munu jhejhioha jhaabelili kuupokela ufalme bhwa K'yara kama muana ni dhahiri ibeta lepi kujhingila.'
Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will not 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 teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Kwandajhakiki ukanikuta mwema? Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe n'nofu, muene.
And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but 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; Honor 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.
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.'
And Jesus hearing this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to 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.
But when he heard this, he became 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 Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter 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.'
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Bhala bhabhap'eliki aghu, bhakajobha, 'Niani basi, jhaibeta kuokolibhwa?'
And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu ajibili, 'Mambo ghaghabelili kubhwesekana kwa mwanadamu kwa K'yara ghibhwesekana.”
But he said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.
28 Petro akajobha, 'Naam, tete tukilekili khila khenu na tukukesisi bhebhe.'
Then Peter said, Lo! we left what we had, 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 to them, Truly do I say to you, There is no one that hath left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
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.
And taking the twelve aside, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all that hath been written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be accomplished.
32 Kwa mana ibeta kupokelibhwa mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa ni kubhombibhwa dhihaka ni jeuri ni kufunyibhwa mata.
For he will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon;
33 Baada jhe kun'tobha fiboko bhibeta kun'koma ni ligono lya tatu ibeta kufufuka.'
and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he will 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 the meaning of these words was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was said.
35 Ikajha Yesu bho akaribili Yeriko, munu mmonga kipofu ajhele atamili kando jha barabara isoka msaada,
And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.
36 bho ap'eliki umati bhwa bhanu bhip'eta akotili kitokela kiki.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Bhakan'jobhela Yesu ghwa Nazareti ip'eta.
And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Hivyo kipofu jhola akalela kwa sauti, akajobha, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Daudi, unirehemu.'
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!
39 Bhala bhabhagendeghe bhakanjwangila kipofu ojhu, bhakan'jobhela agudamayi. Lakini muene ajhendelili kulela kwa sauti, Mwana ghwa Daudi unirehemu.
And they who went before sharply bade him hold his peace. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
40 Yesu akajhema akaamuru munu jhola aletibhwayi kwa muene. Kisha jhola kipofu bho an'karibili, Yesu akan'kota,
And Jesus stopped, and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him,
41 'Wilonda nikuketalayi kiki?' Akajobha, 'Bwana, nilonda kulola.'
What dost thou wish me to do for thee? And he said, Lord, to restore my sight.
42 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Ubhwesiajhi kulola. Imani jha jhobhi ikuponyisi.'
And Jesus said to 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, giving glory to God; and all the people on seeing it gave praise to God.
