Luka 18
1 Neya nabhabhwila echijejekanyo kutyo jibheile okusabhwa bhasiga kufwa mwoyo.
And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
2 Naikati, Aliga alio mulamusi umwi, unu atamubhayaga Nyamuanga na atabhalaga bhanu.
saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
3 Aliga alimo omutumba gasi mumusi omwo, namujakoga kwiya ngendo nyamfu, naikati, 'Nsakila na undamule no kunana echibhalo chani no musokwa wani.'
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 Mwanya mwamfu atendaga kumusakila, nawe eishe naika mumwoyo gwae, 'Nolo kutyo anye nitamubhaya Nyamuanga amwi nitakubhala munu,
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
5 Nawe kwokubha omutumba gasi kanyansha nimulamule nimuyane echibhalo chae asige okugendelela okunyegelela bhuli mwanya.”
yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
6 Latabhugenyi naika ati, 'Mungwe omulamusi oyo atali mulengelesi kutyo kaika.
And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
7 Angu Nyamuanga atalilamula abhasolwa bhae bhanu abhamulilila mungeta na mumwisi? angu omwene atalibha mwikomelesha kubhene?
and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?
8 Enibhabhwila ati, alibhalamula bhwangu. Nawe Omwana wa Adamu anu alibhaja mbe alisanga elikilisha kuchalo?
I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
9 Niwo nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu abhanu abhandi bhanu abhelola kutyo bhali bhalengelesi nibhagaya abhandi,
And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
10 'Bhanubhabhili bhalinyile mwiyekalu okusabhwa. oumwi Mufalisayo oundi omutobhesha wa likodi.
'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
11 Omufalisayo nemelegulu nasabhwa emisango jinu omwene,'Nyamuanga enikusima kulwokubha anye nitali lwa bhanu abhandi abhasakusi, abhajimya, abhalomesi, na nitali lwo mutobhesha wo bhushulu unu.
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;
12 Anye enisalalila kwiya kabhili ku bhwoyo. Enigwata omugabho gwa likumi kubhinu bhyona bhinu enibhona.'
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
13 Nawe uliya omutobhesha, emeleguyu alela, nalema okwimusha ameso gae kulwile, nebhuma bhuma muchifubha chae naikati,'Nyamuanga, mfwilwa chigongo anye nili webhibhibhi.'
'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!
14 Enibhabwila, omunu unu asubhile ika abhalilwe obhulengelesi kukila uliya kulwokubha bhuli unu kekusha alikeibhwa, nawe bhuli munu unu kekeya alikusibwa.'
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
15 Abhanu nibhamuletela abhana bhebhwe abhalela, abhone okubhakunyako, abheigisibhwa bhae bhejile bhalola nibhabhaganya.
And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,
16 Nawe Yesu nabhabhilikila kumwene naikati,'Mubhasige abhana abhalela bhaje kwanye, mutabhaganya. Kulwokubha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga ni bhwa bhanu lwa bho.
and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
17 Mwikilishe, enibhabhwilati, omunu wona wonaunu atabhulamila obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga lwo mwana omulela atalingilamo kata.'
verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
18 Mukulu umwi namubhusha naikati,'awe Omwiigisha wo bhwana nikole kutiki koleleki nilye omwandu gwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu namubhwila ati, 'Kulwaki oumbilikila wo bhwana? Atalio munu unu ali wo bhwana, tali Nyamuanga wenyelela.
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
20 Umenyele ebhilagilo, utalomelega, utetaga, utebhaga, utabheeleshaga, ubhalega esomwana na nyokomwana.
the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'
21 Omukulu naikati, 'ago gona nigagwatile okusoka bhulela bhwani.'
And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
22 Yesu ejile ongwa ago namubhwila ati, “Gulio musango gumwi. Nibhusi bhusi ugushe bhinu ulinabhyo ugabhile abhataka niwo ulibha no bhunibhi mulwile niwo uje undubhe.
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'
23 'Nawe omunibhi ejile akongwa ejo nasulumbala muno okubha aliga alimunibhi muno.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
24 Neya Yesu, namulola kutyo asulumbala muno naikati, 'kukomee abhanibhi okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga!
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
25 Okubha nichangu ingamila okufulumita mwiundu lya insinga kukila omunibhi okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.'
for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
26 Bhanu bhonguhye ago, nibhaikati, 'Kambe jili kutyo niga katula okukila?'
And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
27 Yesu nasubhya naikati, 'Bhinu ebhitamya abhanu Nyamuanga kabhitula.”
and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
28 Petelo naikati, Eswe, chisigile bhuli chinu nchikulubha awe.
And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
29 'Yesu nabhabhwila ati, Nichimali, enibhabhwila ati, atalio omunu unu kasiga inyumba, amwi mugasi, amwi bhamula bhabho, amwi bhebhusi amwi bhana kulwo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga,
and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,
31 Ejile akabhakumanya abho ekumi na bhabhili, nabhabhwila ati, 'Lola echigenda Yelusalemu, na jinu jona jandikilwe na bhalagi ku Mwana wa Adamu ejikumila.
And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,
32 Kulwokubha kagwatwa nabha mumabhoko ga bhanu bhabhanyamaanga kajimibhwa, nibhamwimatulila, nibhamufubhulila amachwanta.
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
33 Bhalimusanya jinsanju nibhamwita na kulusiku lwa kasatu alisuluka.'
and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
34 Bhatasombokewe omusango ogwo, gwaliga gwibhisile kubhene, bhatamenyele jinu aikaga.
And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Anu Yesu afogelee Yeliko, omunu umwi muofu aliga enyanjile mulubhaju lwa injila nasabhilishaga.
And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 Ejile ogwa bhanu bhamfu nibhatulao nasubhyati echo niki.
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Nibhamubhwila ati ni Yesu wa Najaleti nuwe kalabhao.
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
38 Mbe omuofu nalila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu naikati, 'Yesu omwana wa Daudi, umfwile chigongo. '
and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
39 Bhanu bhaliga nibhalibhata nibhamuganya omuofu oyo, nibhamubhwila ajibhile. Nawe omwene nagendelela okulila kwo bhulaka, Omwana wa Daudi, umfwile chigongo.
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
40 Yesu nemelegulu nabhalagila nabhabhwila bhamulete. Omuofu ejile amulebhelela, Yesu namubhusha ati,
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
41 'Owenda nikukole kutiki? Naikati, Latabhugenyi, enenda okulola.'
saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
42 Yesu namubhwila ati, 'mbe lola. Okwikilisha kwao kwakwiulisha.'
And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
43 Ao nao nalola, namulubha Yesu namukusha Nyamuanga. Bhejile bhalola elyo, abhanu bhona nibhamukusha Nyamuanga.
and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
