Luuka 18
1 neke akavavula ikihwanikisio ndavule lunoghile kukufunya jaatu, kisila kukatala.
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 akatisaha kwealyale umhighi mu likaaja limonga, juno naalayle ikumwoghopa uNguluve kange naavikilagha mu mwoojo kukuvatanga avaanhu.
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 mwealyale umfwile jumonga mulikaaja ilio, ghwope akamulutila kekinga akati, “nange unighilile un'koleumulugu ghwango aleke kutoola ifyango.
And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.
4 ku nsiki ntali naale ipinyile kuuti antange, neke ye ghukilile unsiki akasagha mu mwoojo ghwae. pope une nikumwoghopa UNguluve nambe kukuvoghopa avaanhu.
And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 pope ulwakuva umfwile uju ikung'atasia nikuntanga akave ikighavo kyake neke aleke kukung'atasia kange”.
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 neke uMutwa akajova akati, 'pulikisia fino ajovile umhighi umhosi uju.
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 pe uNguluve ghwope naileta ikyang'haani ku vimike vake vano viku mulilila pamwisi na pakilo? pe umwene naiiva nulugudo kuveene?
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 nikuvavula kuuti, ikwisa ni kyang'haani kuveene ng'ani ng'ani. neke unsiki ghono umwana gwa muunhu ikwisa ilikulwagha ulwitiko lwa iisi?'
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 pepano akavavula ikihwani iki pwevalyale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvoona kuuti aveene kuva vagholofu na kuvapenapula avange,
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
10 avaanhu vavili vakaluta kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila: jumo aale mFalisayi nu junge n'songesia songo.
Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican.
11 umFalisayi akima na akifunya ndiki mu mwoojo ghwake, 'nikukuhongesia Nguluve vule une nanili ndavule avaanhu avange vano vakunyi, avaanhu vano vahoka makole, avavwafu nambe ndavule uju unsongesia songo.
The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.
12 une ku nywabaha nibuhila kulia kavili kange nitavula ilitekelo mu meto soni sino nikava.
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 neke unsongesia songo, alyimile pavutali looli nalyaghelile nambe kukwinamula amaaso ghake kukyanya. akatovatova pakifuva kya mwene akati, 'Nguluve unsaghile une ne muhosi'
But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 nikuvavula, umuunhu ndavule uju alyagomwike kukaja apyanilue inyivi saake sooni kukila ujunge jula ulwakuva gheni juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamusia, ghwope juno ikujisia uNguluve alyantosia.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 avaanhu vakatwalila avaanha avadebe kuuti vamwabasie, neke avavulanisivua vake ye vavwene aghu, vakavasigha.
And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.
16 neke uYesu akavakemela kwa mwene akatisagha, 'valeke avaanha avadebe vise kulyine nambe namungavasighahe. ulwakuva uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwe va vaanhu ndavule avuo.
But Jesus called them to Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 kyang'ani nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno naikvupila uvutwa vwa Nguluve hwene mwana sesene nailikwingila'.
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it.
18 um'baha jumonga akam'posia akati, 'm'bulanisi nono, nivombe kiki neke pambele nive nu vwumi vwa kusila na kusila?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 uYesu akamwamul akati, 'kiki ghukung'emela nnono? nakwale umuunhu juno nnono, loli ju Nguluve mwene.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God.
20 usikagwile indaghilo nunga vwafukaghe, nungabudaghe, nungahijaghe, nungolekaghe uvudesi, umwoghopaghe uvaaso nu mamajo.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 um'baha jula akati, 'isio sooni nigadilile kuhuma ye nili nsoleka”.
And he said, all these have I kept from my youth.
22 uYesu ye asipulike isio akam'bula, “upeelile ikinu kimonga. lunoghile ughusie ifinu fyoni fino ulinafyo neke uvaghavile avakotofu, najuve ghuliva ni kyuma ku kyanya - kange ghwise umbingilile'.
But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 neke umofu ye apulike aghuo, akasukunile kyongo ulwakuva alyale ni kyuma kinga.
But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 pe pano uYesu, akam'bona vule asukunile kyongo akati, 'lutalamu kyongo avanya kyuma kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?
25 lwakuva kihugu kyongo ingamila kukilila pa kilioli kya sindano, kuliko kwa mmofu kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve.
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 vala vano valyapulike aghuo vakati, pe ghweveni lino juno ndepoonu ipokua?'
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 uYesu akamula akati, 'sino avaanhu vikunua kuvomba ku ngufu saave neke kwa Nguluve sivombeka'.
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 uPeteli akati, 'Ena, usue tufilekile ifinu fyoni tukuvingilile uve.'
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, and followed Thee.
29 pe pano uYesu akavavula, kyang'haani nikuvavula kuuti, nakwale umuunhu juno ajilekile inyumba, nambe un'dala nambe unyalukolo nambe avapafi nambe avaanha vwimila uvutwa vwa Nguluve,
And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 pe baho ye vakong'anisie vala kijigjo na vavili, akavavula, 'lola, tutogha kuluta kuYelusalemu, na masio ghoni ghano ghalembilue na vavili kujova isa mwana ghwa Muunhu kuuti ghikwilana.
And He took the twelve with Him and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 ulwakuva iiva mumavoko gha vaanhu avaYahudi vikum'bedagha na pikumuligha na pikumfunyila amate.
For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:
33 kange vikun'kopagha ni fijeledi na kukum'buda neke pakighono ikya vutatu isyuuka.'
and the third day He shall rise again.
34 navalyasikagwile sino ijova isi. nalilisio ili lifisilue kuveene, navalyasitang'inie sino sijovilue
But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.
35 pe lukava uYesu pano alipipi ku Yeliko, umuunhu jumonga um'bofu alikalile palubale lwa nsevo akaumagha vantange,
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 ye apulike ilipugha lwa vaanhu likuling'ania akaposia kiki kihumila.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 vakam'bula kuuti uYesu ghwa Nasaleti ikila.
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 pe um'bofu jula akalila fiijo akati, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Davidi, unisaghile'.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 vala vano valyale vighenda vakan'dalikila um'bofu jula, vakam'bula ujike. neke umwene akaghina kulila fiijo, 'mwana ghwa Davidi, usanighile.
And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.
40 uYesu akima akasuuma umuunhu jula vamulete kwa mwene. pe um'bofu jula ye amuvelelile, uYesu akamposia,
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 ghulonda nikuvombele kiki? akati, 'Mutwa, nilonda kulola'.
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 uYesu akam'bula, 'lino ulolaghe. ulwitiko lwako lukusosisie'.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 ku nsiki ghughuo akavisagha ilola, akam'bingilila uYesu na kukumughiniauNguluve. vati valyaghile ili, avaanhu vooni vakamughinia uNguluve.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
