Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Bhai a Yeshu gubhatagulile lutango lwa kuti, inaapinjikwa kwaajuga a Nnungu mobha gowe, gwangali kuwa ntima.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
Gubhashite, “Nshilambo shimo bhashinkupagwa bhaukumula bhamo bhakaajogopaga a Nnungu na wala kujali bhandu.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Na nshilambo shosho, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhashitenga bhatendaga kwaajendela bhene bhaukumula bhala bhalinkuti, ‘Nng'ukumule mbate aki jangu kuka mmagongo nnjangu.’
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Gakupitaga mobha gamagwinji bhaukumula bhala bhalikana, ikabheje, kungai gubhailugulile bhayene. ‘Nkali ngakwaajogopa a Nnungu na wala ngajali bhandu,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
ikabheje pabha abha bhashitengabha bhanangoya ukomu, shinaukumulile bhapate aki jabho, bhanapunde kwiya ndotoya!’”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Bhai Bhakulungwa a Yeshu gubhashite, “Mpilikananje shibhashite bheleketa bhene bhaukumula bhangali bha mmbone bhala.
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Bhuli, a Nnungu bhakaatendelanga aki bhaagulwenje na bhayene, bhakwaagutilanga shilo na mui? Bhuli shibhakabhe kwaajangutilanga?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Ngunakunnugulilanga shibhaajangutilanje shangupe. Ikabheje, bhuli pa shilambolyo shipabhe na ngulupai mobha gashaishe Mwana juka Mundu?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje aluno lutango luno, bhene bhaibhonangaga kuti bhakwetenje aki, nikwaanyegayanga bhananji bhowe.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“Bhandunji bhabhili bhashinkujombokanga kwenda kwaajuga a Nnungu Kuliekalu, jumo paaliji Mpalishayo, na juna nkamula koli.”
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.
“Mpalishayo jula gwajimi, nikwaajuga a Nnungu shamuntima nnei, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga bhananji, bhadokanga na bhalambilanga eu bha labhalabha. Ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga aju nkamula koliju.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Ngunatabha pabhili kwa juma jimo, ngunashoya mbepei ya lipungu lya kumi lya indu yangu yowe ingupata.’”
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!’
“Ikabheje nkamula koli jula, ali ajimi kwataliya alijogopa nkali kujinula meyo gakwe kunnungu, ikabhe alikwiikoma pantima kwa kwibhonela shiya, gwashite, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu mmonele shiya nne ngwete yambi.’
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.”
Ngunakummalanjilanga, Nkamula koli jula pabhujile kunngwakwe ali abhalanganishiywe aki na a Nnungu kupunda Palishayo jula. Pabha jojowe akwiikweya shaatuluywe, na jojowe akwiituluya shaakweywe.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Bhandunji gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu bhana bhashoko nkupinga bhaabhishilanje makono na bhaajujilanje mboka. Bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakaabhonanjeje, gubhaakalipilenje.
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.
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhalinkuti, “Mwaalekanje bhana bhashoko bhanyiilanje, wala nnaaibhililanje, pabha Upalume gwa a Nnungu ni gwa bhandunji malinga bhanganyabha.
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.”
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe akauposhele Upalume gwa a Nnungu malinga mwana jwanshoko, akajinjila Muupalumemo.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Akalongolele bhamo bha Shiyaudi bhashinkwabhuya a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya mmambone, ndende bhuli mbate gumi gwa pitipiti?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Pakuti nnaanjema najwa mmbone? Jwakwa ali jwa mmbone ikabhe a Nnungu jikape.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
Gwimanyi shalia. ‘Unalabhelabhe, unabhulaje, unajibhe, unakong'ondele ya unami na gwaaishimie ainago na akwenu.’”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Nshanda jula gwabhalugulile, “Gene gowego nigakamwile tandubhila kuuungwendo gwangu.”
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.”
A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhammalanjile, “Ushitubhilwa shindu shimo, ukaushe indu yako yowe yuukwete, na mmbiyayo gwaagabhilanje bhalaga, na ugwe shiukole shibhiko shako kunnungu, kungai ujie kuungagule.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Ikabheje mundu jula akapilikaneje genego, gwainginishe kwa kaje, pabha ashinkukola mali gamagwinji.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
A Yeshu gubhannolile gubhashite, “Shiibhe ukomu kuka tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu!
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.”
Kweli, shiikomboleshe ngamia kupeleta palilanga lya ingano, kupunda tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Bhandunji bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai igala gani shakombole tapulwa?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Gakaakomboleka na bhandunji, kwa a Nnungu ganakomboleka.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
A Petili gubhashite “Nnole uwe tushileka indu yetu yowe itukwete nikunkagula!”
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,
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe aleshile nyumba eu akagwe eu akulugwe eu bhankwetenje eu bhana kwa ligongo lya Upalume gwa a Nnungu,
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.
A Yeshu gubhaatolilenje likumi limo na bhabhili bhala kunyenje, nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mpilikananje! Tunajomboka kuloya ku Yelushalemu, kweneko gowe gajandikwe na ashinkulondola gaka Mwana juka Mundu shigatimilile.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Pabha shakamuywe kubhandu bha ilambo ina, na bhene bhanganyabho shibhampetekuyanje, shibhantukananje na kunng'unila mata.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Shibhankomanje na mishapilo nikummulaga, ikabheje lyubha lya tatu shayushe.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhangagamanyanga gene malobhego, pabha bhashinkuiywanga malombolelo gakwe, kwa nneyo bhangagamanyanga gubhabheleketaga.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
A Yeshu bhakabhandishileje ku Yeliko, mundu jumo nangalole nkujuga ashinkupagwa nnyenje mpanda alijuga.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Akapilikaneje lugwinjili lwa bhandu lulipita gwabhushiye, “Shipali nndi?”
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Gubhammalanjilenje, “A Yeshu Bhanashaleti bhanapita.”
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jwalakwe gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “A Yeshu, bhanabhabho a Daudi, mmonele shiya!”
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!”
Bhandunji bhalongolelenje bhala gubhankalipilenje nkupinga apumule, ikabheje jwalakwe gwapundile kweya lilobhe, “A Yeshu bhanabhabho a Daudi mmonele shiya!”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
A Yeshu gubhajimi, gubhatumile bhannjiyenabhonji pubhaliji pala. Nangalole jula akabhandishileje, a Yeshu gubhammushiye,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Upinga nikutendele nndi?” Gwashite, “Mmakulungwa, ngunapinga nole.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
A Yeshu gubhannugulile, “Bhai lola! Ngulupai jako jikulamiye.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Na shangupe nangalole jula gwakombwele kulola, gwabhakagwile a Yeshu alipita kwaakuya a Nnungu. Bhandunji bhowe bhakagabhonanjeje genego gubhainiyenje a Nnungu.
