Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Kangi Yesu akavajovela, luhumu yikuvagana kuyupa magono goha changali kukotoka.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
Akajova, “Kwavili na mhamula mihalu kumuji wenuwo iyupa lepi kwa Chapanga wala nakuvahengela vandu bwina.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Mumuji wenuwo, pavi na lipwela mmonga, mweamhambila mhamula mihalu ligono kwa ligono, amkengelela kwa kuhamula bwina apatayi vindu vyaki kuhuma kwa likoko waki.
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Kwa magono gamahele Mhamula mihalu yula akabela kumkengelela, nambu pamwishu akahololela mumtima waki, ‘Pamonga na nene niyupa lepi kwa Chapanga wala kuvahengela vandu bwina,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
Nambu ndava ya lipwela uyu akuning'aha yati nikumkengelela kuhamula bwina, ngati lepi, yati iyendelela kunibwelela, na pamwishu yati akunitotokeha!’”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Bambu akajova, “Myuwanila cheijova muhamula mihalu mhakau.
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Kujova Chapanga yati akuvakengelela lepi vandu veavahagwili, vevakumvembela muhi na kilu? Wu, yati ikavila kuvayuwanila?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Nikuvajovela, yati akuvakengelela kanyata. Pamonga na genago, Wu, yati kwivya na sadika pamulima lukumbi peibwela Mwana wa Mundu?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Kangi Yesu akavajovela luhumu wa vandu vala vevakujilola vabwina na kuvavesa vangi.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“Vandu vavili vahambili ku Nyumba ya Chapanga kumuyupa. Mmonga Mfalisayu na yungi mtola kodi.”
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.
Mfalisayu yula akayima, kuyupa kwa Chapanga chakumtima akajova, Veve Chapanga, nikusengusa ndava muni nene nivii lepi ngati vandu vangi, vanyagaji na vivikita gahakau na vevikita ugoni. Nikusengusa ndava muni nene nivii lepi ngati mtola kodi uyu.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Nikujiinisa chakulya ndava ya Chapanga mala zivili kwa lijuma, niwusa lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi muvindu vyangu.
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!’
Nambu mtola kodi yula, ayimili cha kutali, changali hati kulolokesa mihu kunani kwa Chapanga ndi ajitovili nganga cha ngolongondi, akajova. Chapanga veve, unihengala lipyana nene mwenikubudili!
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.”
Yesu akavajovela, mtola kodi yula awuyili kunyumba kuni ayidakiliwi na Chapanga. Nambu Mfalisayu yula lepi, ndava muni kila mundu mweakujikwiha yati iheleswa na kila mundu mweakujihelesa yati ikwihiwa.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Vandu vangi vamletili Yesu vana vadebe muni avavikila mawoko na kuvamotisa. Vawuliwa vaki pevavawene vakavaywangila.
16 Yeshua 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.
Nambu Yesu akavakemela na kujova, “Muvaleka vana vedebe vabwela kwangu, wala mkoto kuvabesa, muni unkosi wa Chapanga ndava ya vandu ngati venava.
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.”
Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mwanga upokela Unkosi wa Chapanga ngati mwana mdebe, yati iyingila lepi muunkosi wenuwo.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Mkolo vindu vyamahele mmonga Myawudi, amkotili Yesu, “Muwula mbwina, nikita wuli muni nipokela wumi wa magono goha?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Yesu akamjovela, “Ndava kyani ukunikemela mbwina? Kawaka mweavimbwina nga Chapanga mwene.
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.’”
Uyimanya mihilu ya Chapanga, ukoto kukita ugoni na ukoto kukoma na ukoto kuyiva na ukoto kujova ga udese vakitila gabwina dadi na nyina waku.”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Mwene akajova, “Genago goha nigakamwili kutumbula uwana wangu.”
22 When Yeshua 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.”
Yesu peayuwini, akamjovela, “Yikugana wakona kukita chindu chimonga, gulisa kila chindu cheuvi nachu, vapela vangangu mashonga ago, ndi veve yati ukujivikila vindu vyaku kunani kwa Chapanga, kangi bwela unilandayi.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Nambu mundu mwenuyo peayuwini genago, akavya ngolongondi neju ndava avi na vindu vyamahele.
24 Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Yesu peamuwene mundu mwenuyu avi ngolongondi akajova, “Yinonopa neju kwa vakolo vindu vyamahele kuyingila mu Unkosi wa Chapanga!
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.”
Muni yiyuyuka kwa hinyama yeyikemiwa ngamiya kuholota palibowo la sindanu, kuliku mweavi na vindu vyamahele kuyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Vandu vevayuwini ago, vakakota, “Yani hinu, mweisanguliwa?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Yesu akayangula, “Gangahotoleka kwa vandu, kwa Chapanga gihotoleka.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Kangi Petili akamkota, “Na tete wuli? Tuvilekili vindu vyoha na kukulanda.”
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,
Yesu akavajovela, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mwaileki nyumba amala mdala waki amala mlongo amala dadi na nyina waki amala vana vaki ndava ya unkosi wa Chapanga,
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.
Yesu akavakemela kuchiyepela vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili, na kuvajovela, “Myuwanila! Tihamba ku Yelusalemu na kila chindu chechiyandikiwi na vamlota va Chapanga ndava ya Mwana wa Mundu yati chihengeka.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Muni alagotolewa kwa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi vene yati vakumvevesa na kumliga na kumuhunyila mata.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Vene yati Vakumtova na michapilu na kumkoma, nambu paligono la datu yati iyuka.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Nambu vene vagamanyi lepi malovi genago hati padebe, lijambu lenilo lafiyiki kwa vene, ndi vagamanyili lepi geavajovili.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Lukumbi Yesu peahegalili ku Yeliko, kwavi na mundu mmonga ngalola atamili pamuhana ya njila ayupayi.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Peayuwini msambi wa vandu wipita akakota, “Chivii kyani?”
37 They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
Vakamjovela, “Yesu wa Nazaleti ipita.”
38 He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Yesu, wa chiveleku cha Daudi unihengela lipyana!”
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!”
Vandu vevalongolili vala vakamywangila aguna, nambu mwene akayonjokesa kujova kwa lwami luvaha, “Yesu wa chiveleku cha Daudi, unihengela lipyana!”
40 Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Yesu akayima, akalagiza vandu vamleta palongolo yaki. Ngalola yula peahikili papipi, Yesu akamkota,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Wigana nikukitila kyani?” Ngalola akayangula, “Bambu, nihotola kulola kavili.”
42 Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Lola! Kusadika kwaku kukulamisi.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Bahapo ngalola yula akalola, akamlanda Yesu kuni akumulumba Chapanga. Vandu voha pavagawene genago, vakamulumba Chapanga.
