Luka 18
1 Lino Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi mukoshano, pakuyanda kubeyisha kwambeti bapailenga lyonse kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma.
And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
2 Walambeti, “Kwalikuba mubeteshi mumunshi umbi walikubula kutina Lesa nambi kulemeka muntu.
Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
3 Kwalikuba mukalubingi mutukashi mumunshi wopeloyo walikaya kuli shikubeteka ne kumusengeti, ‘Munyamfweko pa mulandu ngonkute ku mulwani wakame.’
And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
4 Masuba alafula mubeteshi kakanowa, nsombi panyuma pakendi walayeya mwineti, necikaba kwambeti nkantini Lesa nambi kulemeka muntu,
And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
5 pakwinga mukalubingi uyu landemeshe kunjobekela, nindimubetekele mulandu wakendi, kwambeti ngaundemesha kwisa kuno!”
Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6 Lino Mwami walambeti, “Nte mulanyumfu maswi amubeteshi wabula kululama usa.
And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
7 Sena Lesa nteshi akabetekeshe mulandu wa balulama bakendi abo balamusengenga munshi ne mashiku? Sena nakalilwe kubanyamfwa?
Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
8 Ndamwambilingeti nakafwambane kubabetekela mulandu wabo. Sena pakwisa Mwana Muntu nakacane bantu bakute lushomo panshi pano?”
I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
9 Lino Yesu walamba mukoshano umbi kulyabo bali kabayeyeti balulama kupita bonse nekunyansha banabo.
He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
10 Walambeti, “Kwalikuba bantu babili balaya akupaila ku Ng'anda ya Lesa. Umbi walikuba Mufalisi naumbi walikuba weshimisonko.
Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
11 “Lino Mufalisi walanyamuka nekupaileti, ndamulumbunga obe Lesa, pakwinga ame nkandipo eti bantu nabambi bonse. Nabo nibantu babula kululama kayi ni bapombo. Kayi ndalumbu pakwinga kandipo eti uyu weshi kusonkesha musonko uyu.
The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
12 Ndalikanishinga kulya mankanda abili munsondo, kayi nkute kubenga calikumi pabintu byonse mbyonkute kucana.
I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
13 “Nsombi weshikusonkesha musonko usa walemana patali, liya kulangapo kwilu. Nsombi walikalyuma pantiti nekwambeti, Lesa, kamunyumfwilako inkumbo ame ndemwipishi.”
But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
14 Yesu walabambileti, “Cancine ncine, weshimusonko walabwelela kucomwabo kali walulama pamenso a Lesa, mu Falisi neye liya. Pakwinga muntu uliyense weshi kulisumpula nakacepeshewe, nomba muntu weshi kulicepesha nakasumpulwe.”
I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
15 Bantu nabambi balaleta bana bang'ana kuli Yesu kwambeti abike makasa akendi pabana nekubaleleka. Beshikwiya bakendi mpobalaboneco balabakalalila bantu abo balaleta bana.
They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
16 Nsombi Yesu walakuwa bana nekwambeti. “Kamulekani bana bang'ana bese kuli njame, mutabakanishanga, pakwinga Bwami bwa Lesa ni bwa bantu balyeti bana aba.
But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
17 Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti uyo labulunga kutambula Bwami Bwa Lesa eti mwana, cakubinga nteshi akengilemo.”
Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
18 Mukulene wa Bayuda naumbi walepusha Yesu eti. “Bashikwiyisha baina, nomba ndelelela kwinseconi kwambeti nkatambule buyumi butapu?” (aiōnios g166)
Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu walepusheti, “Nomba nicani ncolambilico kwambeti ndaina? Kuliya muntu waina, nsombi Lesa enka.
And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
20 Milawo uyinshi yeshi kwambeti, ‘Utensa bulale, utashina, kotaiba, utapa bukamboni bwabwepeshi, lemeka baiso ne banyoko.’”
Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Muntu uyo walakumbuleti, “Iyi Milawo yonse nkute kwikonka kufuma kubutwanike bwakame.”
And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
22 Yesu mpwalanyumfweco, walamwambileti, “Kulashalowa cintu cimo ncowelela kwinsa. Koya ulishe byonse mbyokute, mali upe bapenga, lino nukabe nebuboni kwilu. Wenseco, wise unkonkele.”
Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
23 Nsombi muntu usa mpwalanyumfweco, walongumana pakwinga walikuba ne mubile bwingi.
But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
24 Yesu mpwalabona, kungumana kwa muntu usa walambeti, “Cayuma kwambeti bantu babile bakengile mu Bwami bwa Lesa.
And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
25 Capuba kwambeti ngamila ingile mukamulyango ka nyeleti kupita muntu mubile kwingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
26 Bantu balanyumfwa makani aya balepusheti, “Nomba niyani eti akapuluke?”
Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
27 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ibi bintu bitakonsheke nebantu, bikute kukonsheka ne Lesa.”
And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Lino Petulo walambeti, “Kamubona! Afwe twalashiya manda etu nekukonkela njamwe.”
Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
29 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga paliya muntu walashiya ng'anda, nambi mukashendi nambi bamakwabo nambi bashali bakendi nambi bana bakendi pacebo ca Bwami bwa Lesa,
And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
31 Yesu walamanta beshikwiya bakendi bali likumi ne babili kuya palubasu nekubambileti, “Tulenga ku Yelusalemu uko byonse byalalemba bashinshimi pa Mwana Muntu nkoti bikenshikile.
Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
32 Pakwinga Mwana Muntu nakatwalwe mumakasa abantu bakunsa abo beshi bakamuwele, kumutukana, nekumusankila mata.
For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
33 Nibakamukwipe nekumushina, nsombi pabusuba bwabutatu nakapundushiwe kubafu.”
And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
34 Beshikwiya bakendi baliya kunyumfwishisha pamakani ayo. Maswi aya baliya kwanyumfwishisha pakwinga alikuba asolama kuli endibo, neco baliya kwinshiba ncali kwamba.
But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
35 Yesu mpwalashika pepi ne Yeliko walacana mpofu kali wekala mumbali mwa nshila, kasengelela.
And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
36 Lino mpofu uyo mpwalanyumfwa bantu bangi kabapita munshileyo, walepusheti, “Nicani cilenshikinga?”
And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
37 Bantu balamwambileti, “Ni Yesu wa ku Nasaleti lapitinga.”
And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
38 Lino walolobesheti, “Yesu mwana wa Dafeti konyumfwilako inkumbo!”
Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
39 Lino bantu balikuba kutangu balamukalilila nekumwambileti mwena. Nsombi nendi walapitilisha kolobesheti, “Mwanendi Dafeti, konyumfwilako inkumbo!”
And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
40 Neye Yesu walemana ne kwambila bantu eti bamulete kuli endiye. Mpwalashika pepi Yesu walamwipusheti,
And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
41 nicani ncolandangeti nkwinshile? Neye walamukumbuleti, “Mwami, ndayandanga kwambeti ntatike kubona kayi.”
Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
42 Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Tatika kubona, pakwinga ulanshomo, lushomo lwakobe lulakushiliki.”
And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
43 Pacindi copeleco walatatika kubona. Lino walakonkela Yesu nkaya kulumbaisha Lesa. Bantu bonse mpobalabona calenshika naboyo balalalumbaisha Lesa.
Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
