Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Linu cha wambe nguli kuvali muva swanelela ku lapelela mi kanzi va zwafi ku wamba vulyo,
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
kuvena muleneñi u mwi mukuvena, Mwatuli ya sana vali kutiye Ireeza ni kusa kuteka vantu.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Linu ku vene Imbelwa mu muleneñi mi i vali kwizanga, nati, unituse ni wane ku atulelwa kozo ini zeka naye.'
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Chenako nde kana va tavele ku mutusa, linu chenako zana chati, kwali iye mwine, nga kuti kani tiiyi Ireeza nanga ku kuteka vantu.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
Linu uzu mukulwakazi we Mbelwa yoni kateze. Linu, kani mutuse ku nkatulo, ili kuti kanzi ani katazi kwi zanga kwa ngu.”'
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Linu Ireeza chati, Muzuwe, mutekeleze ku mu atuli za wamba.
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Linu Ireeza kete ashemuve va ketetwe, avo va lilila kwali masiku ni musihali? Na, kana mwa liyehe ku vali?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Ni mi lwilite kuti ka shemuve vonse cha kuli tahanela Ni hakuva vulyo Mwana a Mukwame cheza, Chavu saku sima, keze a wane ntumelo mu nkanda?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Linu haho cha wambe, nguli ku vamwi avo vava shushwezwa avo vene kuva va shiyeme imi vavali ku sheununa vamwi vantu,
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Va kwame vo vele, vava yendi mwi Tempele kuku lapela zu mwi avali Mufalisi zu mwi avali Mutelisi.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Mufalisi cha zima ni ku lapela manzwi aa kwali iye mwine, Ireeza, ni litumela kwako, ka kuti kani swani sina vantu vamwi vasa, va sa jolwele, mahule, kapa uzu Mutelisi.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Nili nyimanga zilyo tovele mwi nsunda, ni zwisanga vulishumi ku zonse zini wana.'
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Kono Mutelisi, Na zimene vuta vule, na sa oli nanga ku nyamuna Menso akwe kwi ulu, na kwete kuli kava- kava achizuva, nati Ireeza, uni zuwile nkulo vutuku, ni tenda zivi.'
14 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.”
Niti kwako, uzu Mukwame ava voli kunzuvo yakwe na jolwezwe Kuhita mwakwe, cho kuti muntu yense yo likatula iye mwine ka vozwe haansi mi yo likokoveza iye mwine ka kakatulwe.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Vantu vava kuleta kwali ni va hwile vavo, ili kuti ava wonde, kono linu va rutwana nga vavona vulyo vava va kalimeli.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Lino Jesu chava sumpila kwali, naati, “Muzuminine va hwile kukeza kwa ngu, mi kanzi mu vakanisi kwiza kwa ngu. Imi Muvuso wa Mulimu nji wavo vaswana navo.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Chavu sakusima, niti kwenu, yense ya sate a amuhele muvuso we Ireeza sina munini, kete, enjile mumu vuso we Ireeza.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Muvusi zumwi cha mu vuza, nati, Muruti mulotu, moni tende vule kuti ni luwe muvuso we Ireeza?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Jesu chati kwali, uni sumpilazi Mulotu? kakwina muntu mulotu, kwande Ireeza yeke.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Wizi milao ine kumi, kanzi uvuki, kanzi wihai, kanzi wi vii, kanzi uhi vupaki vwa mapa, ukuteke veso ni va nyoko.”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Muvusi chati, zonse zo chini va, zikuteki kuzwilila ku vu lombwana bwangu.”
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Linu Jesu nga zuwa bulyo, cha muwambila nati kwina chonke chosena uswanela ku uza zako zonse zokwete ni ku yavelela va votana, mi ko wane chifuma cha kwi ulu, linu wize uni chilile.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Linu Muhumanehi nga zuwa izi zintu. Chava yo swavite ahulu. Sina avali Muhumanehi ahulu.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Linu, Jesu cha muvona kuti uswavite ahulu mi chati, ku kukutu vule kwavo, va humanehi kukwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Imi ku huva ku nkamele kuku njila mulinso lye ndonga, ku hita mu Humanehi kwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza.'
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Avo vava tekeleze chivati, linu nji vani vete va puluswe?
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
“Jesu chee tava, nati zintu zisa woliki ku vantu zi woleka kwe Ireeza.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Pitrosi chati, “linu, tuvasiyi zintu zonse zivali zetu ni kukwichilila.”
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Jesu cha wamba kuvali, Chavu sakusima, ni wamba kwenu niti kakwina kwenu umwina ya vasiyi inzuvo yakwe kapa Mwihyavwe, kapa vana vakwe, nchizyakwe, kapa vashemi vakwe, vakeni cha muvuso we Ireeza.
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Nga a kunganya va rutwana vakwe vene kumi, ni vovele, chava wambila nati, “muvone, chitukaya kwa Jerusalema mi ni zintu zonse ziñoletwe ku vapolofita cha Mwana Mukwame kazi zuzilikizwe.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Kakuti kahewe mu manza avo vasezi Ireeze. mi, kava musomoze ni ku musheununa kumunyandisa ni kumu swila mate.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Chiva mushimeha ni kumwi haya mi mwi zuva lyavu tatu ka vuke hape.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Kena vava zuwisisi chimwi kwezi zintu mi aya manzwi ava humbitwe kuvali, mi kana vava zuwi mwi zintu zava wambi.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Ku vezi vulyo sina Jesu chava atumele munzi wa Jeriko, mukwame wa chivofu ave kele hembali ne kululu na vu kumbila kuvantu,
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
cha zuwa inyangela ni hitite, cha vuza ziva ku tendahala,
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
chiva muwambila kuti nji Jesu wa Nazareta yo hitite he mbali.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Linu, Mukwame wa chivofu cha, huweleza, nati, “Jésu Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
vamwi vavali kwenda avusu, chi va mu kalimela Mukwame wa chivofu, ku muwambila kuti atontole. Kono nja huweleza kuhitiliza, Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Jesu cha zimana ni kulaela vakwame kuti vamu lete kwali. Linu mukwame wa chivofu avena hafwi, Jesu cha muvuza,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Usaka kuti ni kutendele nzi?” chati, “Simwine nisaka ku hewa ku vona.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Jesu chati kwali, Linu tambule ku vona. Intumelo yako chi ya kuhoza.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Chenako imwina chata mbula ku vona mi cha mwi chilila, nakavu lumbeke Ireeza. Ha kuvonwe zi, Vantu vonse chiva tanga kulumbeka Ireeza.
