Luka 18
1 Yesu kawagambiliti wantumintumi wakuwi mfanu, kawafunda wafiruwa kuluwa Mlungu mashaka goseri pota na koya.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
2 Yesu kalonga, “Mlushi lumu kuweriti na mtoza yakamtira ndiri Mlungu, ama kumjali muntu.
saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
3 Na kuweriti na mkenja mulushi lulii yakamgenderiti hakimu pakaluwa haki yakuwi pakatakula, ‘Guntangi mpati shanfuruwa kupata kulawa kwa mngondu gwangu.’
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
4 Kwa shipindi shivuwa hakimu kafiriti ndiri kumtanga, kumbiti upeleru wakuwi kaligambira mweni, ‘Tembera neni namtira ndiri Mlungu pota kulishera wantu,
He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
5 toziya mkenja ayu kangaziyaga nentu, hanumwamuliri shauri lyakuwi. Pantenda ndiri hakendereyi kwiza panu na upeleru hakang'aziyi nentu!’”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
6 Mtuwa kendereyiti kutakula, “Mpikaniri ntambu yakatakuliti mtoza ayu mdoda.
The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Vinu, hashi Mlungu hapeni kawamuliri wantu wakuwi yawamlilira pashiru na paliwala? Hashi, hakakawi kuwatanga?
Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Nukugambirani, hakawamuliri kanongola. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza hakuweri na njimiru pasipanu?”
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
9 Yesu kawagambiriti viraa mfanu gwagufata gwa walii yawalilola kuwera waherepa na kuwazarawu wantu wamonga.
He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
10 Kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu wawili wakweniti kugenda Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu kuluwa. Yumu kaweriti Mfalisayu na yumonga mtola kodi.”
"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was 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 stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Nfunga mala mbili mulijuma, ndaviya fungu lilongu lya vintu vyampatiti.’”
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
13 Kumbiti mtola kodi kagolokiti kwa kutali, kanyasula ndiri sheni shakuwi kumpindi, su kahinginika mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, “Mlungu, gumoneri lusungu neni yantenda vidoda!”
But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a 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 tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
15 Wantu wamu wamjegiriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawatulili mawoku gakuwi. Wafundwa pawawoniti, wawalewelera ntambu yawatenda,
Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they 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.
Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Nukugambirani nakaka! Muntu yoseri yakanka ndiri Ufalumi wa Mlungu gambira mwana mdidini hapeni kingiri amu.”
Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
18 Mkulu gwa Wayawudi kamkosiyiti Yesu, “mfunda muheri, ntendi shishi nwezi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu kamkosiya, “Iwera ashi gunshema muheri? Kwahera muntu yakawera muheri kumbiti Mlungu gweka yakuwi.
Jesus asked 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 know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
21 Yomberi kawankula, “Kwanjira panweriti mdidini, nugajimira malagaliru goseri aga.”
And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
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.”
When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
23 Kumbiti muntu ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kahinginikiti nentu toziya kaweriti mlunda nentu.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Yesu kawoniti ntambu yakahinginikiti na katakula, “Ntambu ayi hayiweri vikamala kwa wantu walunda kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu.
And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to 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 in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
26 Wantu walii pawapikaniriti aga wakosiya, “Su gaa hakalopoziwi?”
Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
27 Yesu kawankula, “Gawezekana ndiri kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu gawezekana.”
But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
28 Peteru kamgambira, “Guloli! Twenga tuleka kaya zetu na kukufata gwenga.”
And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things 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
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,
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.
He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 Hawamupanani kwa wantu yawaweriti ndiri Wayawudi, na womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamwigilangi na hawamtemeri mata.
For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Hawamsyatangi ndomontu na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
They will scourge and kill him. 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.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Yesu pakaweriti kapakwegera na Yeriku, kuweriti na muntu yakana lwisi yakalivagiti panjira pakaluwa.
It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Pakapikaniriti lipinga lya wantu lyankupita kakosiya, “Kwana shishi?”
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Womberi wamgambira, “Yesu gwa Nazareti kankupita.”
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Nayomberi kalila kwa liziwu likulu, “Yesu! Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
39 Wantu wawalongoleriti wamkalipira pawamgambira kanyamalili. Kumbiti yomberi kendereyiti kubotanga, “Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
40 Yesu kagolokiti, na kawagambira wamjegeri muntu kana lwisi ulii. Muntu kana lwisi pakasokiti pakwegela, Yesu kamkosiya,
Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 “Gufira nukutenderi shishi?” Nayomberi kawankula, “Mtuwa nduwa mpati kuwona kayi.”
"What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
42 Yesu kamgambira, “Guwoni! Kwakunjimira kwaku, ndo gupona.”
Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
43 Pala palii, kaweza kuwona, na kamgendera Yesu, kalonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu. Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti hangu, wamkwisiti Mlungu.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
