Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
Akhavavula ikhikhwani umwakhudovela, valekheukhugatala.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
Akhanchova, “khwale nug'egi khujini uguge, uvisadwadage UNguluve na salikhuvadwadwa avanu.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
Kkwale nufwele khulijiji ilyo, mwope adutelaga mara khingi, alekhuta,'unugeukhukhava uwoyelweli ukhuhuma khumbivi vago.'
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
Khusekhi utali sale tayari ukhutanga, usekhi gwagwavile gulutile akhanchova munumbula ya mwene, 'Ndayeve une sanikhudwadwa U Nguluve au sanikhumwimikha umunu,
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
Ulwakhuva ufwele uyu ikhugatancha nikhutanga ukhukava uwayelweli wa mwene, alekhe ukhu gatancha ukhunyinchila khita sekhi.”
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
Untwa akhanchova, 'Polekhincha uwoanchovile ug'egi umbivi.
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
U Nguluve salagega uwayelweli khuvavalanche va mwene avikhu delila pamusi na pakhilo? Umwene, sakhumilaga khuvene?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Nikhuvavula ukhuta ig'ega uvugolofu khuvene nambivi. Ulwakhuva umwene va Ndavati alavaikhwincha, alaluvona ulwidikho mkhilunga?'
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
Pwa akhavavula ikhikhwani ikhi khuvanu avavikhivona valinuwa yelweli nukhuvabeda avanu avange,
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
Avavuvavili vatogileukhuluta khutembile khukhwisaya: Yumo U Farisai nuyuge usongasogo.
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
U Farisai aklima akhadova inogwa inchi inchi mwene yuywa, 'Nguluve, nikhukhulemya ulwakhuva une sanikhwanine ndavage avanu avipokha afya vanu, avanu avavili avaligu, nduyu usogencha songo.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
Nidenda mara khavili khulugo. Nikhumya isadakha ukhuma khuvukhavi wangu. '
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
Pwu usogasongo akhima khuvutali, alemilwe ukwinula amiho sa'mwene khukyanya, alikhutova ekhifuva khya mwene akhata, 'Dada usyekhile une netula nongwa.'
14 "I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
Nikhuvavula, umunu uyu avayilekhu khaya mwavasyekiliwa imbivi, khulikho ula uyug'e, ulwakhuva ula uveikhwiginia ikhwisiwa, uveikhweyisya ikhwinuliwa. '
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
Avanu vavagegile avana avadebe, avabasye, avakhogi vavilevalolile ewo, vakhavasikha.
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
U Yesu akhavilaga khumwene akhata, “Valekhe avana avadebe vinchag'e khulyune, mlekhe ukhuvasiga. Lwa vanu ndava.
17 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
Mwidekhage, nikhuvavula, umunu uviavenchaga uvesikhwambelila uludeva lwa Nguluve ndu mwana lweli salig'ela. '
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
Undogonchi yumo akhambuncha, akhandova, 'Imanyisi inonu, negahe ndakhikhi pwu nikhave uvumi uwa sikhunchoni?' (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
U Yesu akhanchova, 'khikhi mkhuyilanga nilinonu? Osikhuli umunu unonu, yu Nguluve mwene.
20 You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
Unchimayile indagilo, ulaligupaga, ulabudaga, ulakhenchaga, uladetaga uvudesi, uvadwadege adadayo na vava vanyokho.
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
Undogonchi akhanchova, 'inogwa inchi nibite ukhuhuma nilidemi.'
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
U Yesu avileapulikhe inchi akhambula, “Khisigile ikhenu kimo. Ugunche fyoni ufyolinafyo uwape avalemilwe nuve wiva nekhebana khukyanya, pwu winche ug'ogaga. '
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Utayari avileapolikhe ewo, akhalile lweli, ulwakha ale mofu.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
Pwu U Yesu, akhambona wvavipile lweli akhanchova, uwuyelava tabu khuvakhani ukwing'ela khuludeva lwa Nguluve!
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
Ulwakhuva yilava khilele tingamila pkhalyango akhasindano, ukhulutala kavi ukhwigeila kuludeva lwa Nguluve. '
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Avapulikhe incho, vakhanchova, 'Veni lino, uviyakhiva ipona?'
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
U Yesu akhanda, 'Inogwa inchile mchine khuvanu kuwa Nguluve inchikhwidekhana.”
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
U Peteli akhanchova, 'ufwe, tufile khile fyoni tukhukhogile uve. '
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
Pwu U Yesu akhavavula, Mwidikhag'e, nikhuvavula asikhuli umunu uveayelekhile inyumba, udala, avalukhololwe, avahonchi na vana, khuludeva lwa Nguluve,
31 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Avile avalundaminye vale khinchigo na vaveli, akhavavula, 'Mlolage, twitoga ukhuluta khu Yerusalemu, inogwa nchoni inchisimbiwe na vayamalago khu mwana va Adamu nchinchivombekha.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Ulwakhuva evekhikhiwa mumavokho ga vayapanchi vikhumbombela imbivi, nukhube hela
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
amati. Wuvatovile ni ngomo vikhumbuda isikhu iya datu inchukha. '
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Savanchimaye inongwa nchi, nelimenyu ililyafihiwe khuvene, na savalumaye inongwa inchinchoviwa.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
U Yesu avileahegelile ku Yeriko, umunu yumo uviabofwile atamile mudu khanchi musewe alikhudova ulutagilo,
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
Akhapulikha avanu wu vigenda akhavuncha khenukhekhi ikhivone kha.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Vakhambula vakhata U Yesu uva Munazareti igenda.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Pwu ubofule akhalila fincho, akhata, 'Yesu, vi mwana va Ndaveti, ug'olele ikhisa.'
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
Avagendaga vakhabencha ula ubofule, vakhara anunale. Umwene akhendelela ukhulila fincho, 'Mwana va Ndaveti, ug'oleleikhisa.
40 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
U Yesu akhima akhavavula umunu ula akhilikhiwe khumwene.
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
Ubofule avile ahegelelile, U Yesu akhambuncha, Winogwa nikhuvombelekhikhi?' Akhanda, 'Dada, ninogwa ukhulola.'
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
U Yesu akhambula, 'Ulolage. Ulwidikho lwakho lukhuponinche.'
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Usikhi ugwa alikhulola, akha khonga U Yesu nukhuginia U Nguluve. Vavilevalolile ewo avanu voni vakhaginia U Nguluve.
