Luke 18
1 And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Linu cha wambe nguli kuvali muva swanelela ku lapelela mi kanzi va zwafi ku wamba vulyo,
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
kuvena muleneñi u mwi mukuvena, Mwatuli ya sana vali kutiye Ireeza ni kusa kuteka vantu.
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
Linu ku vene Imbelwa mu muleneñi mi i vali kwizanga, nati, unituse ni wane ku atulelwa kozo ini zeka naye.'
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard 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 troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Linu uzu mukulwakazi we Mbelwa yoni kateze. Linu, kani mutuse ku nkatulo, ili kuti kanzi ani katazi kwi zanga kwa ngu.”'
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
Linu Ireeza chati, Muzuwe, mutekeleze ku mu atuli za wamba.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long 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 speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall 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 And he spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised 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; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Va kwame vo vele, vava yendi mwi Tempele kuku lapela zu mwi avali Mufalisi zu mwi avali Mutelisi.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
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 in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Nili nyimanga zilyo tovele mwi nsunda, ni zwisanga vulishumi ku zonse zini wana.'
13 And the publican, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but stroke upon his breast, 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 every one that exalts himself shall be brought low; and he that humbles himself shall 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 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his 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 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
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 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Chavu sakusima, niti kwenu, yense ya sate a amuhele muvuso we Ireeza sina munini, kete, enjile mumu vuso we Ireeza.”
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, 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 And Jesus said unto him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Jesu chati kwali, uni sumpilazi Mulotu? kakwina muntu mulotu, kwande Ireeza yeke.
20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour 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 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Muvusi chati, zonse zo chini va, zikuteki kuzwilila ku vu lombwana bwangu.”
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and 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 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
Linu Muhumanehi nga zuwa izi zintu. Chava yo swavite ahulu. Sina avali Muhumanehi ahulu.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
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 go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Imi ku huva ku nkamele kuku njila mulinso lye ndonga, ku hita mu Humanehi kwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza.'
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
Avo vava tekeleze chivati, linu nji vani vete va puluswe?
27 And 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 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed you.
Pitrosi chati, “linu, tuvasiyi zintu zonse zivali zetu ni kukwichilila.”
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God'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 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
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 shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully pleaded, and spitted on:
Kakuti kahewe mu manza avo vasezi Ireeze. mi, kava musomoze ni ku musheununa kumunyandisa ni kumu swila mate.
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
Chiva mushimeha ni kumwi haya mi mwi zuva lyavu tatu ka vuke hape.”
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying (rhema) was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Kena vava zuwisisi chimwi kwezi zintu mi aya manzwi ava humbitwe kuvali, mi kana vava zuwi mwi zintu zava wambi.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
Ku vezi vulyo sina Jesu chava atumele munzi wa Jeriko, mukwame wa chivofu ave kele hembali ne kululu na vu kumbila kuvantu,
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
cha zuwa inyangela ni hitite, cha vuza ziva ku tendahala,
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
chiva muwambila kuti nji Jesu wa Nazareta yo hitite he mbali.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
Linu, Mukwame wa chivofu cha, huweleza, nati, “Jésu Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much 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 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was 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 Saying, What will you that I shall do unto you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
“Usaka kuti ni kutendele nzi?” chati, “Simwine nisaka ku hewa ku vona.”
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
Jesu chati kwali, Linu tambule ku vona. Intumelo yako chi ya kuhoza.”
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
Chenako imwina chata mbula ku vona mi cha mwi chilila, nakavu lumbeke Ireeza. Ha kuvonwe zi, Vantu vonse chiva tanga kulumbeka Ireeza.
