Luka 18
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao chitagu chati, ŵandu akusachilwa apopeleje katema kose pangapela.
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 Ŵatite kuti, “Pamusi umo, jwapali jwakulamula jumo, jwanganjogopa Akunnungu natamuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu.
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 Nipele, jwapali jwankongwe jwakuŵililwa jumo pa musi wo juŵajaulilaga kaŵili kaŵili jwakulamulajo achitiji, ‘Munjenjele kuti ngole chigolochelo changu kutyochela kwa jwammagongo jwangu.’
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 Kwa moŵa gamajinji jwakulamula jo nganasaka kwachenjela nambo kambesi kakwe ŵatite mu ntima mwakwe, ‘Atamuno ngangwajogopa Akunnungu namuno kwachimbichisya ŵandu,
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 nambo kwaligongo lya jwakuwililwa ju akuusakalisya une, chinaachenjele kuti akole chigolochelo chakwe nambo iŵaga ngambanganya yeleyo chambesye une pakwika kaŵili kaŵili!’”
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 Nipele, Ambuje ŵajendelechele, “Mpilikane yatite pakuŵecheta jwakulamula jwangalumbana jo.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Uli, Akunnungu ngaŵaachenjela ŵele ŵandu uŵasagwile, ŵakwalilila muusi ni chilo ŵala? Ana pane chakaŵe kwapilikanila?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 Ngunsalila kuti chachachenjela ŵanyawo chitema pe. Nambo uli pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu chiŵasimane ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila pachilambo pano?”
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 Nombe Che Yesu ŵatanjile sooni chitagu kwa ŵakuliganisya kuti akupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwanyelusya ŵane.
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 “Ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukupopela, jumo ŵaliji Mfalisayo ni jwine ŵaliji jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 “Jwele Mfalisayo jo ŵajimi ni kupopela chikatikati achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, nguntogolela pakuŵa uneji nganima chisau ŵandu ŵane, ŵachiswamba ni ŵachigongomalo ni ŵachikululu. Natamuno chisau jwakukumbikanya nsongo ju.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 Ngutaŵa kaŵili kwa chijuma ni ngutyosya liunjili lya kakumi lya indu yose ingupata.’
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 “Nambo jwakukumbikanya nsongo jula, ŵajimi kwakutalichila, nombejo nganalinga kulola kwinani nambo ŵaliputile pa ntima pao kwa kulilasika achitiji, ‘Akunnungu, mungolele chanasa une jundi ni sambi!’”
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila mwanya, jwakukumbikanya nsongo jo ŵausile kumangwao ali akundikwe ni Akunnungu kumpunda Mfalisayo jo. Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakulikwesya chatuluswe ni jwakulitulusya chakweswe.”
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵannyichisye Che Yesu ŵanache achanandi kuti ŵasajichile makono ni kwapa upile. Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiweni ŵakalipile.
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵanache achanandi achitiji, “Mwaleche ŵanache achanandi aichanje kukwangu, nkalekasya pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wa ŵandu mpela aŵa.
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Ngunsalila isyene kuti jwalijose jwangakuupochela Umwenye wa Akunnungu mpela mwanache jwannandi, ngajinjila mu Umwenye ng'oo.”
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 Chilongola jumo jwa Ŵayahudi ŵammusisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya jwambone ana ndende chichi pakuti ngole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi nkuumilanga une jwambone? Ngapagwa jwali jwambone akaŵe Akunnungu pe.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 Nkugamanyilila makanyo ga Akunnungu, ‘Kasintenda chikululu atamuno kasimmulaga ni kasinjiŵa atamuno kasinsala ya unami ni mwachimbichisye atati ŵenu ni achikulu ŵenu.’”
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Ŵelewo ŵatite, “Yeleyo yose naikamulichisye chitandilile mu uchanda wangu.”
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 Che Yesu paŵapilikene gelego ŵansalile kuti, “Chindu chimo chisoŵile kukwenu, nkasumisye yose inkwete ni mbiya syo nkaasapulile ŵakulaga, nomwe ni pachinchikola ipanje kwinani, nipele njise munguye.”
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 Nambo mundu jo paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵasupwiche nnope pakuŵa ŵaliji ni ipanje yejinji.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 Che Yesu paŵammweni mundu jo aninkusongoneka ni ŵatite “Yaikuti pakulepelecheka kwa ŵandu ŵaali ni ipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu!
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Eloo, ili yangalemwa kwa chinyama chachikuŵilanjikwa ngamia kwinjila pachipowo cha sindano kupunda jwaali ni chipanje kwinjila mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene yeleyo ŵausisye, “Ana ŵaani uchakombole kulupuswa?”
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 Che Yesu ŵajanjile achitiji, “Indu yangaikukomboleka kwa ŵandu, kwa Akunnungu ikukomboleka.”
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Nnole, uwe tulesile indu yetu yose ni kunkuya alakwe!”
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene ngunsalila, mundu jwalijose jwajilesile nyuumba pane ŵankwawo pane achapwakwe pane achaŵelesi pane achiŵanagwe ligongo lya Umwenye wa Akunnungu,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Che Yesu ŵaajigele pajika ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, ŵaasalile, “Mpilikane! Tukukwesya kwaula ku Yelusalemu ni kweleko indu yose iyalembekwe ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu yankati Mwana jwa Mundu chiiŵe isyene.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 Pakuŵa chachajausya kwa ŵandu ŵangosyo sine nombe ŵanyawo chachanyelusya ni kwatukana ni kunsunila mata.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Champute ibokola ni kummulaga nambo pa lyuŵa lyaatatu kutyochela pa chiwa chao chasyuche.”
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala nganagamanyililaga malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵecheteje Che Yesu go pakuŵa galiji gamasisikwe kukwao nombewo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu akuŵecheta nkati chichi.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Katema Che Yesu paŵaŵandichile ku Yeliko, jwapali mundu jumo jwangalola juŵatemi mungulugulu litala achiŵendaga.
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 Paŵapilikene ŵandu ŵajinji aninkupita ŵausisye “Ana kwana chichi?”
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 Ŵansalile, “Che Yesu ŵa ku Nasaleti akupita.”
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 Nombewo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Che Yesu, Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 Ŵandu uŵalongolele ŵala ŵankalipile kuti amyalale, nambo ŵelewo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya achitiji, “Uŵelesi u che Daudi, choonde mungolele chanasa!”
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 Che Yesu ŵajimi ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵapeleche paujo pao. Jwangalola jula paŵaŵandichile Che Yesu ŵammusisye,
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?” Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngusaka ngombole kulola sooni.”
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nnole! Chikulupi chenu chinnamisye.”
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 Papopo pepo ŵakombwele kulola sooni ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu achakusyaga Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵalapile Akunnungu.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
