Luka 18
1 Hange wekaaila mpyani netakewe kulompa daima, alekekuta etamaa.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 Akamitambula, “Aokole mulamuli pakesale fulani, hange shanga aumwogopile Itunda nukuaheshimu eantu.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Aukole mujane pakesale nekanso, nung'wenso aewimuhanga nkua yeedu, nukutambula, “Nzaelye mpate ehakiane numupenzani wane.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Kumatungo edu shangaaukole tayali kumusaidila, lakini baada amatungo akatambula munkolo akwe, ataitule unene shanganumwogopile Itunda ang'wi kumuheshimu umuntu,
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 lakini kunsoko umujane uyu ukunsumbula nukumusaidela wapate ehaki akwe, waleke kunkatalya kwa kunezela mala kwa mala.”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Kuite umukulu wekalunga, “Tegeelyi nautambue nuanso umulamuli nuanso nedhalimu.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Ite Itunda shanga ukuleta ehaki kwateule akwe neakumukela mung'we nuutiku? Ite nuanso shaukiumelyane kung'wao?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Kumuila kina ukuleta ehaki kung'wa kwakukaya. Lakini ematungo nuzie ung'wana wang'wa Adamu, ite ukuuhangane uhueli muunkumbigulu?”
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Uu wikaaela mpyani eye kuantu baadhi hange niiona eenso kina akete ehaki nukuazalau eantu niangiza.
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 Antu abeele anankie kulongola mihekalu kusali: ung'wi Farisayo ung'wi mutoza ushuru.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Ufarisayo wekimeka nukulompa aya migulya lakwe ung'wenso, Itunda kusongeelya kunsoko unene singa kipyani neantu niangiza kuita eahegelya, antu nishanga aaminifu, agoolyi, ang'wi anga yuyu umutoza ushulu.
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.
12 Nefunga mahiku abeele kuwiki. Neepumya ezaka mumapato ane ehi nenepata.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Lakini nuanso umutoza ushulu, aewimekile kule, shanga auwezilye ata ukuhumbula emiho akwe kilunde, akakuanga kekua kakwe wekalunga, Itunda ngoze unene nimunya milandu.”
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!’
14 Kumuila, umuntu nuanso ausukile kito akize uaeeigwe etai kukela umuya, kunsoko uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, lakini uyu nuisimya wehumbulwa.
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.”
15 Eantu amuletee eana ao neadabu, kuite ahume kuaamba, lakini eamanyisigwa akwe naaine nanso, akaagilya.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Lakini u Yesu wakaitanga kung'wakwe wekalunga, “Aleki ana nianino aze kitalane, wala lekikuagilya. Kundogoelyo utemi wang'wi Tunda waantu anga nianso.
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.
17 Amini kumuila umuntu wehi nishanga ukusengelya utemi wang'wi Tunda anga ana neanino shangaukingela.”
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 Mutawa ung'wi aumukoilye, wikalunga, 'Mwalimu namuza ntende ule nuusale upanga wakale nakale? (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 U Yesu wikamuila, “Kuneke ukunintanga numuza? Kutile umuntu numuza, ila Itunda wing'wene du.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Umamanyilene emalago-lekakugoolya, lekakubulaga, lekakia, lekakutambula uteele, aheshimu ebaba ako numama ako.
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 Umutawala nuanso wekalunga, “Imakani ayaite numaambile kupuma uhumba wane.
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 U Yesu naewigule nanso wikaaila, “Upungukewe nekentu king'wi. Lazima ugulye ehi nukete aagawele awa niagila, nuewe ukutuwa nehazina kilunde kuite nzuu, uuntyate.
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.”
23 Lakini umugole naewigulye nanso wekapata kenyauai lukulu, kunsoko ae mugole lukulu.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Hange u Yesu wikamugoza nauambilwe ikenyauai ikulu wikalunga, 'Kuule neekatula ikaku eagole kingela ku utemi wang'wi Tunda!
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Kundogoelyo itotu ikulu kungamea kukela mitundu la sindano, kukela eugole kingela utemi wang'wi Tunda.”
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.”
26 Awa naeigulye nanso, ekalunga, “Nyenyu gwa, nuekaweza kuokolewa?
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 U Yesu wikasukilya, “Imakani neshangaawezekanile kwa anadamu kung'wi Tunda awezekanile.”
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 U Petelo wikalunga, “Uu usese kaleka kila ekentu nakakutyata uewe.”
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Hange u Yesu wikaaila, hueli kumuela kina kutile muntu nulekile enyumba ang'wi musungu, ang'wi munyandugu ang'wi aleli, ang'wi ana, kunsoko autemi wang'wi Tunda,
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,
31 Baada akuilingela awa nekumi na mbele, wikaaila, goza, kuunankela kulongoe ku Yerusalemu, ne makani ehi naandekilwe neanyakedagu kuhusu ung'wana wang'wa Adamu akukamileka.
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.
32 Kundogoelyo ukuambwa mumekono amataifa akumudhiki nukumutenda ejeuri, nukumutyela emate.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Baada akumukua iiboko akumubulaga nuluhiku lakatatu ukiiuka.”
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Shanga ealengile imakani nanso, nulukani ulu ite aelupihilwe kung'wao, hange shangaaealengile emakani naatambuwe.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Ikatula u Yesu naauhugie ku Yeriko, muntu ung'wi mupoku aewikie mumpelompelo abalabala aeukulompa ugunwa,
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 naewigule umilundo wa antu ukeile akakolya ntuni niipumie.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Eekamuila kina u Yesu nua Nazareti ukeile.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Kuite umupoku wekalela kululi, wikalunga, Yesu, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi nehulumele.” Awa naakugenda ekamukenela umupoku nuanso, ekamuela kilaga.
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Uugwa awo naza atongee, akamukenda ite wakilage, kuiti u ng'wenso ai ukiile ikilo nangahu kitunta u luli Ee, ng'wana wang'wa Daudi unkendepe.
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!”
40 U Yesu wikimeka akaamulu umuntu nuanso waletwe pang'wa akwe. Hange umupoku nuanso nauhumbie, U Yesu wikamukolya,
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 “Utakile nukutendele ntuni? Akalunga, “Bwana ntakile kuona.”
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 U Yesu wikamuila, “Upegwe kuona. Uhueli wako wakukomya.”
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Uu wekapegwa kuona, akamutyata u Yesu nukumukulya Itunda. Naaine ileile eantu ehi akamukulya Itunda.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
