Luka 18
1 Kisha akabhajobhela mfano bhwa namna kyabhilondeka kus'oka daima, not bhasikati tamaa.
Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
2 akajobha, 'Kwajhele ni hakimu mu mji fulani, ambajhe an'tileghe lepi K'yara na abhaheshimuili lepi bhanu.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
3 Kwajhele ni mjane mu jiji e'lu, ni muene andotili mara jhimehele, akajobha, 'Nitangatilayi kukabha haki dhidi jha mpinzani ghwangu.'
There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against 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,
For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect 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 keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
6 Kisha Bwana akajobha, 'Pe'lekesiajhi kya ajobhili hakimu ojhu dhalimu.
Then the Lord said, “Consider what this unrighteous judge said.
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?
If even he ultimately rendered a just decision, will not God patiently listen to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and give them justice?
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 bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, 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.
He also told this parable to some who were confident in their own righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10 'Bhanu bhabhele bhakwelili kulota ku hekalu kusali: Jhongi Mfarisayo ni jhongi mtoza ushuru.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
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 by himself and prayed like this: ‘God, I thank yoʋ that I am not like other people: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Nifunga mara sibhele khila wiki. Nipisya zaka mu mapato ghoha ghanikabha.
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I get.’
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 tax collector stood at a distance and would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat 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 home justified rather than the other one. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Bhanu bhandetili bhana bhabhi bhadebe, ili abhwesiajhi kubhagusa, lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bho bhaghabhuene aghu bhabhabesili.
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who were bringing 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 for them and said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, munu jhejhioha jhaabelili kuupokela ufalme bhwa K'yara kama muana ni dhahiri ibeta lepi kujhingila.'
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
18 Mtawala mmonga akan'kota, akajobha, 'mwalimu n'nofu, niketabhuli ili niurithiajhi uzima bhwa milele?' (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Kwandajhakiki ukanikuta mwema? Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe n'nofu, muene.
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
20 Usimanyili amri- usizini, usikomi, usiheji, usishuhudili udesi, bhaheshimuajhi dadiwaku ni nyinuaku.
Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother.’”
21 Mtawala jhola akajobha, 'Mambo agha ghoha nighakamuili kuhomela ne n'songolo.'
The man said, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
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.'
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing yoʋ still lack: Sell everything yoʋ have and distribute the money to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
23 Lakini tajiri bho ap'eliki aghu, ahuzuniki sana, kwandabha ajhele tajiri sana.
But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely rich.
24 Kisha Yesu, akambona kyaahuzuniki nesu akajobha, 'Jinsi gani kyajhibetakujha panonono kwa tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara!
When Jesus saw that the man had become very sorrowful, he said, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to 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.'
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Bhala bhabhap'eliki aghu, bhakajobha, 'Niani basi, jhaibeta kuokolibhwa?'
Those who heard this said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Yesu ajibili, 'Mambo ghaghabelili kubhwesekana kwa mwanadamu kwa K'yara ghibhwesekana.”
Jesus said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28 Petro akajobha, 'Naam, tete tukilekili khila khenu na tukukesisi bhebhe.'
Then Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
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,
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, parents, brothers, wife, 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.
Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
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 he will be mocked, insulted, and spit upon.
33 Baada jhe kun'tobha fiboko bhibeta kun'koma ni ligono lya tatu ibeta kufufuka.'
After flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Bhajhelibhu lepi mambo agha, ni lilobhi ele lyafighibhu kwa bhene, nabhajhelibhu lepi mambo ghaghajobhibhu.
But the disciples did not understand any of these things; this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was being said.
35 Ikajha Yesu bho akaribili Yeriko, munu mmonga kipofu ajhele atamili kando jha barabara isoka msaada,
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
36 bho ap'eliki umati bhwa bhanu bhip'eta akotili kitokela kiki.
When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Bhakan'jobhela Yesu ghwa Nazareti ip'eta.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Hivyo kipofu jhola akalela kwa sauti, akajobha, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Daudi, unirehemu.'
So he cried out, “Jesus, 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.
Then those who were out in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “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,
So Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man drew near, Jesus asked him,
41 'Wilonda nikuketalayi kiki?' Akajobha, 'Bwana, nilonda kulola.'
“What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
42 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Ubhwesiajhi kulola. Imani jha jhobhi ikuponyisi.'
So Jesus said to him, “Receive yoʋr sight; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
43 Mara jhejhuejhu akabhwesya kulola, akan'kesya Yesu ni kun'tukusya k'yara. Bhobhalibhwene e'le bhanu bhoha bhan'sifiri K'yara.
Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
