Lukha 18
1 Akhavavula ikhikhwani umwakhudovela, valekheukhugatala.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 Akhanchova, “khwale nug'egi khujini uguge, uvisadwadage UNguluve na salikhuvadwadwa avanu.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Kkwale nufwele khulijiji ilyo, mwope adutelaga mara khingi, alekhuta,'unugeukhukhava uwoyelweli ukhuhuma khumbivi vago.'
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Khusekhi utali sale tayari ukhutanga, usekhi gwagwavile gulutile akhanchova munumbula ya mwene, 'Ndayeve une sanikhudwadwa U Nguluve au sanikhumwimikha umunu,
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 Ulwakhuva ufwele uyu ikhugatancha nikhutanga ukhukava uwayelweli wa mwene, alekhe ukhu gatancha ukhunyinchila khita sekhi.”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Untwa akhanchova, 'Polekhincha uwoanchovile ug'egi umbivi.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 U Nguluve salagega uwayelweli khuvavalanche va mwene avikhu delila pamusi na pakhilo? Umwene, sakhumilaga khuvene?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Nikhuvavula ukhuta ig'ega uvugolofu khuvene nambivi. Ulwakhuva umwene va Ndavati alavaikhwincha, alaluvona ulwidikho mkhilunga?'
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Pwa akhavavula ikhikhwani ikhi khuvanu avavikhivona valinuwa yelweli nukhuvabeda avanu avange,
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 Avavuvavili vatogileukhuluta khutembile khukhwisaya: Yumo U Farisai nuyuge usongasogo.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 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.
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 Nidenda mara khavili khulugo. Nikhumya isadakha ukhuma khuvukhavi wangu. '
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Pwu usogasongo akhima khuvutali, alemilwe ukwinula amiho sa'mwene khukyanya, alikhutova ekhifuva khya mwene akhata, 'Dada usyekhile une netula nongwa.'
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 Nikhuvavula, umunu uyu avayilekhu khaya mwavasyekiliwa imbivi, khulikho ula uyug'e, ulwakhuva ula uveikhwiginia ikhwisiwa, uveikhweyisya ikhwinuliwa. '
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 Avanu vavagegile avana avadebe, avabasye, avakhogi vavilevalolile ewo, vakhavasikha.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 U Yesu akhavilaga khumwene akhata, “Valekhe avana avadebe vinchag'e khulyune, mlekhe ukhuvasiga. Lwa vanu ndava.
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 Mwidekhage, nikhuvavula, umunu uviavenchaga uvesikhwambelila uludeva lwa Nguluve ndu mwana lweli salig'ela. '
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 Undogonchi yumo akhambuncha, akhandova, 'Imanyisi inonu, negahe ndakhikhi pwu nikhave uvumi uwa sikhunchoni?' (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 U Yesu akhanchova, 'khikhi mkhuyilanga nilinonu? Osikhuli umunu unonu, yu Nguluve mwene.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Unchimayile indagilo, ulaligupaga, ulabudaga, ulakhenchaga, uladetaga uvudesi, uvadwadege adadayo na vava vanyokho.
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.’”
21 Undogonchi akhanchova, 'inogwa inchi nibite ukhuhuma nilidemi.'
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 U Yesu avileapulikhe inchi akhambula, “Khisigile ikhenu kimo. Ugunche fyoni ufyolinafyo uwape avalemilwe nuve wiva nekhebana khukyanya, pwu winche ug'ogaga. '
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 Utayari avileapolikhe ewo, akhalile lweli, ulwakha ale mofu.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Pwu U Yesu, akhambona wvavipile lweli akhanchova, uwuyelava tabu khuvakhani ukwing'ela khuludeva lwa Nguluve!
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Ulwakhuva yilava khilele tingamila pkhalyango akhasindano, ukhulutala kavi ukhwigeila kuludeva lwa Nguluve. '
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 Avapulikhe incho, vakhanchova, 'Veni lino, uviyakhiva ipona?'
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 U Yesu akhanda, 'Inogwa inchile mchine khuvanu kuwa Nguluve inchikhwidekhana.”
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 U Peteli akhanchova, 'ufwe, tufile khile fyoni tukhukhogile uve. '
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Pwu U Yesu akhavavula, Mwidikhag'e, nikhuvavula asikhuli umunu uveayelekhile inyumba, udala, avalukhololwe, avahonchi na vana, khuludeva lwa Nguluve,
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 Avile avalundaminye vale khinchigo na vaveli, akhavavula, 'Mlolage, twitoga ukhuluta khu Yerusalemu, inogwa nchoni inchisimbiwe na vayamalago khu mwana va Adamu nchinchivombekha.
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 Ulwakhuva evekhikhiwa mumavokho ga vayapanchi vikhumbombela imbivi, nukhube hela
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 amati. Wuvatovile ni ngomo vikhumbuda isikhu iya datu inchukha. '
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Savanchimaye inongwa nchi, nelimenyu ililyafihiwe khuvene, na savalumaye inongwa inchinchoviwa.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 U Yesu avileahegelile ku Yeriko, umunu yumo uviabofwile atamile mudu khanchi musewe alikhudova ulutagilo,
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Akhapulikha avanu wu vigenda akhavuncha khenukhekhi ikhivone kha.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Vakhambula vakhata U Yesu uva Munazareti igenda.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Pwu ubofule akhalila fincho, akhata, 'Yesu, vi mwana va Ndaveti, ug'olele ikhisa.'
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Avagendaga vakhabencha ula ubofule, vakhara anunale. Umwene akhendelela ukhulila fincho, 'Mwana va Ndaveti, ug'oleleikhisa.
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 akhima akhavavula umunu ula akhilikhiwe khumwene.
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 Ubofule avile ahegelelile, U Yesu akhambuncha, Winogwa nikhuvombelekhikhi?' Akhanda, 'Dada, ninogwa ukhulola.'
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 U Yesu akhambula, 'Ulolage. Ulwidikho lwakho lukhuponinche.'
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Usikhi ugwa alikhulola, akha khonga U Yesu nukhuginia U Nguluve. Vavilevalolile ewo avanu voni vakhaginia U Nguluve.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
