Luka 18
1 Yesu kawagambiliti wantumintumi wakuwi mfanu, kawafunda wafiruwa kuluwa Mlungu mashaka goseri pota na koya.
And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
2 Yesu kalonga, “Mlushi lumu kuweriti na mtoza yakamtira ndiri Mlungu, ama kumjali muntu.
saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
3 Na kuweriti na mkenja mulushi lulii yakamgenderiti hakimu pakaluwa haki yakuwi pakatakula, ‘Guntangi mpati shanfuruwa kupata kulawa kwa mngondu gwangu.’
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 Kwa shipindi shivuwa hakimu kafiriti ndiri kumtanga, kumbiti upeleru wakuwi kaligambira mweni, ‘Tembera neni namtira ndiri Mlungu pota kulishera wantu,
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
5 toziya mkenja ayu kangaziyaga nentu, hanumwamuliri shauri lyakuwi. Pantenda ndiri hakendereyi kwiza panu na upeleru hakang'aziyi nentu!’”
yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
6 Mtuwa kendereyiti kutakula, “Mpikaniri ntambu yakatakuliti mtoza ayu mdoda.
And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
7 Vinu, hashi Mlungu hapeni kawamuliri wantu wakuwi yawamlilira pashiru na paliwala? Hashi, hakakawi kuwatanga?
and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
8 Nukugambirani, hakawamuliri kanongola. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza hakuweri na njimiru pasipanu?”
I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
9 Yesu kawagambiriti viraa mfanu gwagufata gwa walii yawalilola kuwera waherepa na kuwazarawu wantu wamonga.
And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
10 Kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu wawili wakweniti kugenda Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu kuluwa. Yumu kaweriti Mfalisayu na yumonga mtola kodi.”
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
11 Mfalisayu kagolokiti gweka yakuwi na kuluwa shimoyumoyu pakalonga, “‘Mlungu mayagashii, neni nanalwaliya ndiri, nampayu ndiri ama mndiyandiya gambira wantu wamonga. Nonga mayagashii kwaku toziya neni nulifana ndiri gambira mtola kodi ayu.
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
12 Nfunga mala mbili mulijuma, ndaviya fungu lilongu lya vintu vyampatiti.’”
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
13 Kumbiti mtola kodi kagolokiti kwa kutali, kanyasula ndiri sheni shakuwi kumpindi, su kahinginika mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, “Mlungu, gumoneri lusungu neni yantenda vidoda!”
And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
14 Yesu kalonga, “Nukugambirani, mtola kodi kawuyiti ukaya pawamlekeziyiti vidoda vyakatenditi, kumbiti Mfarisayu ulii wamlekeziyiti ndiri vidoda vyakatenda. Toziya woseri yawafira kulikweniziya hawawasulusiyi, na woseri yawalisulusiya weni hawawakweniziyi.”
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
15 Wantu wamu wamjegiriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawatulili mawoku gakuwi. Wafundwa pawawoniti, wawalewelera ntambu yawatenda,
And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
16 kumbiti Yesu kawashema wana wizi kwakuwi pakalonga, “Muwaleki wana wadidini wizi kwaneni, namuwalewelera toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu ndo wa wantu gambira awa.
and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
17 Nukugambirani nakaka! Muntu yoseri yakanka ndiri Ufalumi wa Mlungu gambira mwana mdidini hapeni kingiri amu.”
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
18 Mkulu gwa Wayawudi kamkosiyiti Yesu, “mfunda muheri, ntendi shishi nwezi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu kamkosiya, “Iwera ashi gunshema muheri? Kwahera muntu yakawera muheri kumbiti Mlungu gweka yakuwi.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
20 Gugamana malagaliru, ‘Naguwera muhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, nagumtakulila mpayu muntu yoseri, guwapanani ligoya tati na mawu gwaku.’”
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Yomberi kawankula, “Kwanjira panweriti mdidini, nugajimira malagaliru goseri aga.”
And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
22 Yesu pakapikaniriti aga kamgambira, “Guleka shintu shimu shagufiruwa kutenda. Guwuzi kila shintu shaguwera nashu na guwagawiri wahushu mpiya azi, na gwenga haguweri mlundamali kumpindi, su gwizi na gunfati.”
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
23 Kumbiti muntu ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kahinginikiti nentu toziya kaweriti mlunda nentu.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Yesu kawoniti ntambu yakahinginikiti na katakula, “Ntambu ayi hayiweri vikamala kwa wantu walunda kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu.
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 Hayiweri ikamala kwa walunda mali kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu kuliku shigongolu shawamshema Ngamiya kupena mushitoboli sha sindanu.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Wantu walii pawapikaniriti aga wakosiya, “Su gaa hakalopoziwi?”
And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Yesu kawankula, “Gawezekana ndiri kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu gawezekana.”
And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Peteru kamgambira, “Guloli! Twenga tuleka kaya zetu na kukufata gwenga.”
And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
29 Yesu kawagambira, “Yina! Nukugambirani nakaka muntu yoseri yakalekiti numba, ama mdala, ama walongu, ama mawu na watati wakuwi, ama wana toziya ya Ufalumi wa Mlungu
and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Yesu kawatoliti wantumintumi walii lilongu na wawili na kuwagambira, “Mpikaniri! Twankugenda Yerusalemu kulii kila shintu wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti, kuusu Mwana gwa Muntu hagalawiri.
And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
32 Hawamupanani kwa wantu yawaweriti ndiri Wayawudi, na womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamwigilangi na hawamtemeri mata.
for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
33 Hawamsyatangi ndomontu na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Kumbiti wantumintumi wavimaniti ndiri vintu vyoseri avi, mana ya visoweru viweriti vififwa kwawomberi, na wavimaniti ndiri shakatakuliti Yesu.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Yesu pakaweriti kapakwegera na Yeriku, kuweriti na muntu yakana lwisi yakalivagiti panjira pakaluwa.
And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 Pakapikaniriti lipinga lya wantu lyankupita kakosiya, “Kwana shishi?”
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Womberi wamgambira, “Yesu gwa Nazareti kankupita.”
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
38 Nayomberi kalila kwa liziwu likulu, “Yesu! Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
39 Wantu wawalongoleriti wamkalipira pawamgambira kanyamalili. Kumbiti yomberi kendereyiti kubotanga, “Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
40 Yesu kagolokiti, na kawagambira wamjegeri muntu kana lwisi ulii. Muntu kana lwisi pakasokiti pakwegela, Yesu kamkosiya,
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
41 “Gufira nukutenderi shishi?” Nayomberi kawankula, “Mtuwa nduwa mpati kuwona kayi.”
saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
42 Yesu kamgambira, “Guwoni! Kwakunjimira kwaku, ndo gupona.”
And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
43 Pala palii, kaweza kuwona, na kamgendera Yesu, kalonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu. Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti hangu, wamkwisiti Mlungu.
and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
