Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
Lino nakabambila chikozyano chitondezya mbubeelede kunokomba akuti batatyoki myoyo,
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
wati, “Muli limwi dopolo kwakali mubetesi utakwe wakalikuyowa Leza nikuba kulemeka bantu.
3 There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
Lino kwakali mukamufu mudolopo eli, wakaliswini kaza kulinguwe, kati, 'Mundigwasizye makani angu asimulanduma'.
4 For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Lino wakaba achindi chilamfu katalikuyanda kumugasizya, pesi nikwakaba kayindi, wakalyambuuzya alikke wati, “Nikuba ngundilemeka,
5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
pesi mukamufu oyu wandikatazya, ndilamugwasizya kuti ajane lwangunuko kumakani akwe, kwiitila kuti atandisusubiki, kanoswini kandichindila”.
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
Mpawo Mwami wakati, “Muswilizye mbaamba mubetesi oyu siluuni”.
7 And will not God surely bring about justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, while also being patient with them?
Lino muyeeye kuti, Leza takonzyi na kubeteka chabululami kubsale bakwe, ibamulilila sikati amansiku? Ulachedwa na kubkutukila?
8 I tell you that he will bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, 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 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who regarded others with contempt:
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 was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
“Baluumi babili bakaya mun'anda yaLeza kuyookomba- umwi wakali muFalisi oyu umwi kali Simutelo.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed like this: ‘God, I thank yoʋ that I am not like other people: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like 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 a week, and I give tithes of all that I get.’
Ndilalyiimya tubili amviki. Ndilapa chipanzi chakkumi chazintu zyoonse nzindijana'.
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Pesi Simutelo, kayimvwi kulekule, tewakakonzya pe nikuba kusompya meso akwe kujulu, pesi wakawuma akaango kakwe wati, 'Leza, ndifwide luzyalo, me ndisizibi'.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles 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 Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who were bringing them,
Bantu bakeeta bana banini kulinguwe kuti abaampe, pesi basikwiiya nibakababona bakabaambwiida.
16 but Jesus called for them and said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Pesi Jesu wakabayita kulinguwe wati, “Muzumizye bana banini baze kuindime, alubo mutabakasyim pe. Nkambo bwami bwakujulu mbubwabo.
17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
Kasimpe ndamwambila, utakonzyi kutambula bwami bwaLeza mbuli mwana munini takwe kuyobunjila”.
18 Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Umwi mwendelezi wakamubuzya wati, “Muyisi mubotu, ngandilachita biyeni kuti ndikajane buumi butamani?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Nkamboonzinundaamba kuti ndilimubotu? Takwe muntu mubotu pe, kunze kwaLeza alikke.
20 Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother.’”
Ulizi milawu yaamba kuti utachiti bwaamu, utajeyi, utabbi, utaambi manwa, lemeka uso abanyoko”.
21 The man said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
Mweendelezi wakati, “Yoonse eyi ndakayilondola kuzwa kandichili mulombe”.
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing yoʋ still lack: Sell everything yoʋ have and distribute the money to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then 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 But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely rich.
Lino mweendelezi oyu nakamvwa makani aya, wakawusa, nkambo wakali alubono lwiingi.
24 When Jesus saw that the man had become very sorrowful, he said, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter 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 go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Nkambo chilakonzeka kuti nkamela yiinde mumpuli yansunda kwiinda kuti muntu muvubi anjile mubwami bwaLeza”.
26 Those who heard this said, “Who then can be saved?”
Abo ibakamvwa makani aya bakati, “No mwati sa mpali unga uyofutulwa?”
27 Jesus said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
Jesu wakamwambila wati,” Zintu ziyumu kubantu nzyuuba kuliLeza.”
28 Then Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
Pita wakati, “Langa twakasiya zintu zyesu zyoonse mpawo twatobela nduwe”.
29 Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, parents, brothers, 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 Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
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 Gentiles, and he will be mocked, insulted, and spit upon.
Nkambo uyopenzegwa mumaboko Bamasi, mpawo bayomuwela, uyojatwa chamasampu, mpawo bakamuswide mate.
33 After flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
Nibayomaninsya kumuuma, bayomujeya, mpawo mubuzuba bwatatu uyobuka lubo.”
34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things; this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was being said.
Takwe nchibakamvwa pe kumakani aya, alubo eli lyakabasita, mpawo takwe nibakamvwisisisya pe zintu ezi zyakali kwaambwa.
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
Kwakaba kuti Jesu kaali waamba kusika muJelikko, umwi moofu wakalikkede kumbali aanzila, ulakumbila,
36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
mpawo nakamvwa tyanga lyabantu bayabweenda, wakabuzya kuti chakali kuchitika niinzi.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Bakamambila kuti, “Ngu Jesu waNazaleta uyabweenda.
38 So he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mpawo mwalumi oyu moofu wakasompezya wati, “Jesu Mwana a Davida, ndifwide luzyalo”.
39 Then those who were out in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Bakali kweenda kumpela bakamwambwiida moofu oyu, bati, “Umuna”. Pesi wakasompezya loko, “Mwana wa Davida, ndifwide luzyalo”.
40 So Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man drew near, Jesus asked him,
Jesu wakayimikila nji mpawo walayilila kuti mwalumi oyu ayeetwe kuli nguwe. Lino mwalumi oyu moofu nakaba afwiifwi, Jesu wakabuzya wati,
41 “What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
“Uyanda kuti ndikuchitilenzi? Wakati, “Mwami ndiyanda kuti ndibone”.
42 So Jesus said to him, “Receive yoʋr sight; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bona. Lusyomo lwako lwakuponesya”.
43 Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
Mpawo awo wakabona, wamutobela, kalemya Leza. Bantu boonse nibakabona ezi bakalumbayizya Leza.
