Luke 18
1 He was speaking then (and *ko) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no) and not to lose heart
Wasebatshela lomfanekiso esenzela ukuthi bafanele ukukhuleka isikhathi sonke, njalo bengadinwa,
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
wathi: Kwakukhona emzini othile umahluleli othile, owayengesabi uNkulunkulu, njalo engahloniphi muntu;
3 A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
kwakukhona futhi kulowomuzi umfelokazi othile, njalo wayefika kuye, esithi: Ngiphindiselele esitheni sami.
4 And not (he was desiring [to do] *N+kO) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N+kO) man respect,
Kodwa kavumanga okwesikhathi; kodwa emva kwalezizinto wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Lanxa ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu, ngingahloniphi muntu,
5 because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
kodwa ngoba lumfelokazi engikhathaza, ngizamphindiselela, hlezi angaze ekucineni angidinise.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
INkosi yasisithi: Zwanini umahluleli ongalunganga akutshoyo.
7 And God certainly not (may do *N+kO) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k) (to Him *N+kO) day and night, and (be patient *N+kO) in regard to them?
Kanti uNkulunkulu kayikwenza impindiselo yabakhethiweyo bakhe abakhalayo kuye emini lebusuku, lanxa ebekezela ngabo?
8 I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
Ngiyalitshela ukuthi uzahle enze impindiselo yabo. Kodwa-ke nxa iNdodana yomuntu ifika, izathola ukholo yini emhlabeni?
9 He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK+o) the others parable this.
Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso lakwabathile ababezithemba ukuthi balungile, futhi bedelela abanye, wathi:
10 Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Abantu ababili benyukela ethempelini ukuyakhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, lomunye engumthelisi.
11 The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK+o) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela kanje wathi: Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalunganga, izifebe, loba lanjengalumthelisi.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okwetshumi kwakho konke engikuzuzayo.
13 (and *ko) (but *no) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k) the breast (of him *NK+o) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.
14 I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k) (compared with *n+o) (that [one]. *N+kO) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulalowayana; ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, kodwa ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
15 They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N+kO) them.
Basebeletha kuye lensane, ukuze azibambe; kodwa abafundi bekubona babakhuza.
16 But Jesus (called *N+kO) them (speaking; *N+kO) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
Kodwa uJesu wazibizela kuye wathi: Vumelani abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingabenqabeli, ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanje.
17 Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ongemukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane, kasoze angene kuwo.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
Umbusi othile wasembuza, esithi: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngenzeni ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.
20 The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k)
Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
Yena wasesithi: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.
22 Having heard then (these things *k) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no) (heavens; *N+kO) and come, do follow Me.
Kodwa uJesu esizwa lezizinto wathi kuye: Usaswele ulutho olulodwa; thengisa konke olakho, wabele abayanga, njalo uzakuba lempahla eligugu ezulwini; njalo uze lapha ungilandele.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
Kodwa yena esizwa lezizinto wadana kakhulu; ngoba wayenothile kakhulu.
24 Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N+kO)
Kwathi uJesu ebona ukuthi usedane kakhulu wathi: Abalenotho bazangena ngokulukhuni kangakanani embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
25 Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N+kO) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
Ngoba kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
Abakuzwayo basebesithi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
Kodwa yena wathi: Izinto ezingenzekiyo ebantwini ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
UPetro wasesithi: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke, sakulandela.
29 And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakho umuntu otshiye indlu, kumbe abazali, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu,
31 Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N+kO) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
Wasezithathela abalitshumi lambili, wathi kubo: Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, futhi konke okulotshiweyo ngabaprofethi ngeNdodana yomuntu kuzagcwaliseka.
32 He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
Ngoba izanikelwa kwabezizwe, iyangiswe, ithukwe, ikhafulelwe ngamathe,
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
bayitshaye ngesiswepu bayibulale; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke.
34 And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
Kodwa bona kabaqedisisanga lutho ngalezizinto, lalinkulumo yayifihlakele kubo, njalo kabaziqedisisanga izinto ezazitshiwo.
35 It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N+kO)
Kwasekusithi esesondela eJeriko, isiphofu esithile sasihlezi eceleni kwendlela siphanza;
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
sathi sisizwa ixuku lisedlula, sabuza ukuthi kuyini lokho.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
Basebesitshela bathi: UJesu weNazaretha uyedlula.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
Sasesimemeza, sisithi: Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukela!
39 And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N+kO) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
Ababehamba phambili basebesikhuza ukuthi sithule; kodwa samemeza kakhulukazi, sisithi: Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukele!
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
UJesu wema-ke walaya ukuthi silethwe kuye; sathi sesisondele wasibuza,
41 (saying *ko) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
esithi: Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni? Sasesisithi: Nkosi, ukuthi ngibuye ngibone.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
UJesu wasesithi kuso: Buya ubone! Ukholo lwakho lukusindisile.
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
Njalo sahle sabuya sabona, samlandela, sidumisa uNkulunkulu; labantu bonke bekubona badumisa uNkulunkulu.
