Luke 18
1 And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
Lino nakabambila chikozyano chitondezya mbubeelede kunokomba akuti batatyoki myoyo,
2 saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
wati, “Muli limwi dopolo kwakali mubetesi utakwe wakalikuyowa Leza nikuba kulemeka bantu.
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
Lino kwakali mukamufu mudolopo eli, wakaliswini kaza kulinguwe, kati, 'Mundigwasizye makani angu asimulanduma'.
4 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,
Lino wakaba achindi chilamfu katalikuyanda kumugasizya, pesi nikwakaba kayindi, wakalyambuuzya alikke wati, “Nikuba ngundilemeka,
5 yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
pesi mukamufu oyu wandikatazya, ndilamugwasizya kuti ajane lwangunuko kumakani akwe, kwiitila kuti atandisusubiki, kanoswini kandichindila”.
6 And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
Mpawo Mwami wakati, “Muswilizye mbaamba mubetesi oyu siluuni”.
7 and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
Lino muyeeye kuti, Leza takonzyi na kubeteka chabululami kubsale bakwe, ibamulilila sikati amansiku? Ulachedwa na kubkutukila?
8 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?”
“Ndamwambila kuti, uyofwambana loko kulingula makani abo. Nikuba obo, nazobweda Mwana mulombe wa Muntu uzojana kakuchili lusyomo na munyika?”
9 And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
Elyo wakamba mukozyano oyu utobela kuli bamwi bakali kulisyom beni kuti baliluleme, abo bakali kunyansya bamwi,
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
“Baluumi babili bakaya mun'anda yaLeza kuyookomba- umwi wakali muFalisi oyu umwi kali Simutelo.
11 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;
MuFalisi wakayimikila wakomba kaamba zintu ezi atala lyabuumi bwakwe wati, 'Leza, ndilakulumba nkambo kakuti tandili mbuli bamwi pe babbi, bantu bataluleme pe, basibwamu, na bali mbuli Simutelo oyu.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
Ndilalyiimya tubili amviki. Ndilapa chipanzi chakkumi chazintu zyoonse nzindijana'.
13 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!
Pesi Simutelo, kayimvwi kulekule, tewakakonzya pe nikuba kusompya meso akwe kujulu, pesi wakawuma akaango kakwe wati, 'Leza, ndifwide luzyalo, me ndisizibi'.
14 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.”
Ndamwambila kuti oyu mwalumi wakajoka kun'anda yakwe kali walulamikwa kwiinda olya mweenzinyina, nkambo kufumbwa muntu ulisumpula uzofwinsigwa, pesi woonse muntu ulijosya ansi uzosumpulwa”.
15 And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
Bantu bakeeta bana banini kulinguwe kuti abaampe, pesi basikwiiya nibakababona bakabaambwiida.
16 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;
Pesi Jesu wakabayita kulinguwe wati, “Muzumizye bana banini baze kuindime, alubo mutabakasyim pe. Nkambo bwami bwakujulu mbubwabo.
17 truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
Kasimpe ndamwambila, utakonzyi kutambula bwami bwaLeza mbuli mwana munini takwe kuyobunjila”.
18 And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
Umwi mwendelezi wakamubuzya wati, “Muyisi mubotu, ngandilachita biyeni kuti ndikajane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Nkamboonzinundaamba kuti ndilimubotu? Takwe muntu mubotu pe, kunze kwaLeza alikke.
20 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.”
Ulizi milawu yaamba kuti utachiti bwaamu, utajeyi, utabbi, utaambi manwa, lemeka uso abanyoko”.
21 And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
Mweendelezi wakati, “Yoonse eyi ndakayilondola kuzwa kandichili mulombe”.
22 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”;
Lino Jesu nakamvwa obo, wakati kulinguwe, “Kuli chinti chimwi nchubulide. Weelede kuzya zintu zyoonse nzulaazyo mpawo wabila bachete, elyo uyooba achiybwedo chalubono kujulu mpawo uze unditobele”.
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Lino mweendelezi oyu nakamvwa makani aya, wakawusa, nkambo wakali alubono lwiingi.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
Elyo Jesu nakabona kuti wawusa loko wakati, “Nchiyumu loko kuli abo bajisi lubono lwiingi kunjila mubwami bwakujulu!
25 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.”
Nkambo chilakonzeka kuti nkamela yiinde mumpuli yansunda kwiinda kuti muntu muvubi anjile mubwami bwaLeza”.
26 And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
Abo ibakamvwa makani aya bakati, “No mwati sa mpali unga uyofutulwa?”
27 And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
Jesu wakamwambila wati,” Zintu ziyumu kubantu nzyuuba kuliLeza.”
28 And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
Pita wakati, “Langa twakasiya zintu zyesu zyoonse mpawo twatobela nduwe”.
29 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,
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Ndamwambila kasimpe kuti takwe muntu naba umwi wakasiya n'anda yakwe, naba banakazi bakwe, na banike bakwe, na bazyali, na bana nkambo kabwami bwaLeza,
31 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,
Nakamaninsya kubunganizya bali kkumi ababili kulinguw, wakati kulimbabo, “Mulange tuya kuJelusalema, lino zyoonse zintu zyakalembwa abasinsimi atala a Mwana mulombe wa Muntu ziya kuyozuzikizigwa”.
32 for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
Nkambo uyopenzegwa mumaboko Bamasi, mpawo bayomuwela, uyojatwa chamasampu, mpawo bakamuswide mate.
33 and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
Nibayomaninsya kumuuma, bayomujeya, mpawo mubuzuba bwatatu uyobuka lubo.”
34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Takwe nchibakamvwa pe kumakani aya, alubo eli lyakabasita, mpawo takwe nibakamvwisisisya pe zintu ezi zyakali kwaambwa.
35 And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Kwakaba kuti Jesu kaali waamba kusika muJelikko, umwi moofu wakalikkede kumbali aanzila, ulakumbila,
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
mpawo nakamvwa tyanga lyabantu bayabweenda, wakabuzya kuti chakali kuchitika niinzi.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
Bakamambila kuti, “Ngu Jesu waNazaleta uyabweenda.
38 and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
Mpawo mwalumi oyu moofu wakasompezya wati, “Jesu Mwana a Davida, ndifwide luzyalo”.
39 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!”
Bakali kweenda kumpela bakamwambwiida moofu oyu, bati, “Umuna”. Pesi wakasompezya loko, “Mwana wa Davida, ndifwide luzyalo”.
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
Jesu wakayimikila nji mpawo walayilila kuti mwalumi oyu ayeetwe kuli nguwe. Lino mwalumi oyu moofu nakaba afwiifwi, Jesu wakabuzya wati,
41 saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
“Uyanda kuti ndikuchitilenzi? Wakati, “Mwami ndiyanda kuti ndibone”.
42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bona. Lusyomo lwako lwakuponesya”.
43 and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
Mpawo awo wakabona, wamutobela, kalemya Leza. Bantu boonse nibakabona ezi bakalumbayizya Leza.
