Luka 18
1 Linu cha wambe nguli kuvali muva swanelela ku lapelela mi kanzi va zwafi ku wamba vulyo,
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 kuvena muleneñi u mwi mukuvena, Mwatuli ya sana vali kutiye Ireeza ni kusa kuteka vantu.
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 Linu ku vene Imbelwa mu muleneñi mi i vali kwizanga, nati, unituse ni wane ku atulelwa kozo ini zeka naye.'
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 Chenako nde kana va tavele ku mutusa, linu chenako zana chati, kwali iye mwine, nga kuti kani tiiyi Ireeza nanga ku kuteka vantu.
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 Linu uzu mukulwakazi we Mbelwa yoni kateze. Linu, kani mutuse ku nkatulo, ili kuti kanzi ani katazi kwi zanga kwa ngu.”'
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 Linu Ireeza chati, Muzuwe, mutekeleze ku mu atuli za wamba.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Linu Ireeza kete ashemuve va ketetwe, avo va lilila kwali masiku ni musihali? Na, kana mwa liyehe ku vali?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 Ni mi lwilite kuti ka shemuve vonse cha kuli tahanela Ni hakuva vulyo Mwana a Mukwame cheza, Chavu saku sima, keze a wane ntumelo mu nkanda?”
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 Linu haho cha wambe, nguli ku vamwi avo vava shushwezwa avo vene kuva va shiyeme imi vavali ku sheununa vamwi vantu,
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 Va kwame vo vele, vava yendi mwi Tempele kuku lapela zu mwi avali Mufalisi zu mwi avali Mutelisi.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 Mufalisi cha zima ni ku lapela manzwi aa kwali iye mwine, Ireeza, ni litumela kwako, ka kuti kani swani sina vantu vamwi vasa, va sa jolwele, mahule, kapa uzu Mutelisi.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 Nili nyimanga zilyo tovele mwi nsunda, ni zwisanga vulishumi ku zonse zini wana.'
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 Kono Mutelisi, Na zimene vuta vule, na sa oli nanga ku nyamuna Menso akwe kwi ulu, na kwete kuli kava- kava achizuva, nati Ireeza, uni zuwile nkulo vutuku, ni tenda zivi.'
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 Niti kwako, uzu Mukwame ava voli kunzuvo yakwe na jolwezwe Kuhita mwakwe, cho kuti muntu yense yo likatula iye mwine ka vozwe haansi mi yo likokoveza iye mwine ka kakatulwe.”
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Vantu vava kuleta kwali ni va hwile vavo, ili kuti ava wonde, kono linu va rutwana nga vavona vulyo vava va kalimeli.
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Lino Jesu chava sumpila kwali, naati, “Muzuminine va hwile kukeza kwa ngu, mi kanzi mu vakanisi kwiza kwa ngu. Imi Muvuso wa Mulimu nji wavo vaswana navo.
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Chavu sakusima, niti kwenu, yense ya sate a amuhele muvuso we Ireeza sina munini, kete, enjile mumu vuso we Ireeza.”
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 Muvusi zumwi cha mu vuza, nati, Muruti mulotu, moni tende vule kuti ni luwe muvuso we Ireeza?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesu chati kwali, uni sumpilazi Mulotu? kakwina muntu mulotu, kwande Ireeza yeke.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 Wizi milao ine kumi, kanzi uvuki, kanzi wihai, kanzi wi vii, kanzi uhi vupaki vwa mapa, ukuteke veso ni va nyoko.”
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Muvusi chati, zonse zo chini va, zikuteki kuzwilila ku vu lombwana bwangu.”
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 Linu Jesu nga zuwa bulyo, cha muwambila nati kwina chonke chosena uswanela ku uza zako zonse zokwete ni ku yavelela va votana, mi ko wane chifuma cha kwi ulu, linu wize uni chilile.”
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 Linu Muhumanehi nga zuwa izi zintu. Chava yo swavite ahulu. Sina avali Muhumanehi ahulu.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 Linu, Jesu cha muvona kuti uswavite ahulu mi chati, ku kukutu vule kwavo, va humanehi kukwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza!
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Imi ku huva ku nkamele kuku njila mulinso lye ndonga, ku hita mu Humanehi kwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza.'
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Avo vava tekeleze chivati, linu nji vani vete va puluswe?
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 “Jesu chee tava, nati zintu zisa woliki ku vantu zi woleka kwe Ireeza.”
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Pitrosi chati, “linu, tuvasiyi zintu zonse zivali zetu ni kukwichilila.”
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Jesu cha wamba kuvali, Chavu sakusima, ni wamba kwenu niti kakwina kwenu umwina ya vasiyi inzuvo yakwe kapa Mwihyavwe, kapa vana vakwe, nchizyakwe, kapa vashemi vakwe, vakeni cha muvuso we Ireeza.
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Nga a kunganya va rutwana vakwe vene kumi, ni vovele, chava wambila nati, “muvone, chitukaya kwa Jerusalema mi ni zintu zonse ziñoletwe ku vapolofita cha Mwana Mukwame kazi zuzilikizwe.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 Kakuti kahewe mu manza avo vasezi Ireeze. mi, kava musomoze ni ku musheununa kumunyandisa ni kumu swila mate.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Chiva mushimeha ni kumwi haya mi mwi zuva lyavu tatu ka vuke hape.”
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 Kena vava zuwisisi chimwi kwezi zintu mi aya manzwi ava humbitwe kuvali, mi kana vava zuwi mwi zintu zava wambi.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Ku vezi vulyo sina Jesu chava atumele munzi wa Jeriko, mukwame wa chivofu ave kele hembali ne kululu na vu kumbila kuvantu,
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 cha zuwa inyangela ni hitite, cha vuza ziva ku tendahala,
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 chiva muwambila kuti nji Jesu wa Nazareta yo hitite he mbali.
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 Linu, Mukwame wa chivofu cha, huweleza, nati, “Jésu Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 vamwi vavali kwenda avusu, chi va mu kalimela Mukwame wa chivofu, ku muwambila kuti atontole. Kono nja huweleza kuhitiliza, Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 Jesu cha zimana ni kulaela vakwame kuti vamu lete kwali. Linu mukwame wa chivofu avena hafwi, Jesu cha muvuza,
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 “Usaka kuti ni kutendele nzi?” chati, “Simwine nisaka ku hewa ku vona.”
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Jesu chati kwali, Linu tambule ku vona. Intumelo yako chi ya kuhoza.”
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 Chenako imwina chata mbula ku vona mi cha mwi chilila, nakavu lumbeke Ireeza. Ha kuvonwe zi, Vantu vonse chiva tanga kulumbeka Ireeza.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
