Luka 18
1 Kisha akabhajobhela mfano bhwa namna kyabhilondeka kus'oka daima, not bhasikati tamaa.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 akajobha, 'Kwajhele ni hakimu mu mji fulani, ambajhe an'tileghe lepi K'yara na abhaheshimuili lepi bhanu.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Kwajhele ni mjane mu jiji e'lu, ni muene andotili mara jhimehele, akajobha, 'Nitangatilayi kukabha haki dhidi jha mpinzani ghwangu.'
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Kwa muda mrefu ajhelepi tayari kun'saidila, lakini baada jha muda akajobha mu muoyo bhwa muene, `Ingawa nene niken'tila lepi K'yara au kuheshimu munu,
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 Lakini kwa vile ojho mjane akanisumbula nibeta kun'tangatila kukabha haki jha muene, ili asihidi kunitondesya kwa kunihidila mara kwa mara.”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Kisha Bwana akajobha, 'Pe'lekesiajhi kya ajobhili hakimu ojhu dhalimu.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Je K'yara kabhele ibeta lepi kuleta haki kwa bhateule bha muene ambabho bhakandelele kiru ni musi? Je, muene ibeta lepi kujha mvumilivu kwa bhene?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Nikabhajobhela kujha ibeta haki kwa bhene manyata. Lakini mwana ghwa Adamu pa ibeta kuhida, je, ibetakukolela imani paduniani?'
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Ndipo akabhajobhela mfano obho kwa baadhi jhe bhanu ambabho bhikibhona bhene kujha bhenye haki ni kubhadharau bhanu bhangi.
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 'Bhanu bhabhele bhakwelili kulota ku hekalu kusali: Jhongi Mfarisayo ni jhongi mtoza ushuru.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Farisayo akajhema akasoka mambo agha juu jha muene K'yara nikubhombesya kwandabha nene sio kama bhanu bhamana ambabho bhanyang'anyi, bhanu bhabhabelikujha bhaadilifu bhazinzi, au kama ojho mtoza ushuru.
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 Nifunga mara sibhele khila wiki. Nipisya zaka mu mapato ghoha ghanikabha.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Lakini jhola mtoza ushuru, ajhemili patali, abhwesilepi hata kujhinula mihu gha muene kumbinguni, akatobha kifua kya muene akajobha, 'k'yara nirehemu nene mwenye dhambi.
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 Nikabhajobhela, munu ojho abhujhili kunyumba khoni abhalangibhu haki kuliko jhongi jhola, kwandabha kila jhe ikikwesya ibeta kuselesibhwa, lakini khila munu jheikaji nyenyekela ibetakujhinulibhwa.”
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 Bhanu bhandetili bhana bhabhi bhadebe, ili abhwesiajhi kubhagusa, lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bho bhaghabhuene aghu bhabhabesili.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Lakini Yesu akabhakuta kwa muene akajobha, 'bhalekayi bhana bhadebe bhahidayi kwa nene, wala musibhabesi. Maana ufalme bhwa K'yara ndo ghwa bhanu kama abhu.
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 Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, munu jhejhioha jhaabelili kuupokela ufalme bhwa K'yara kama muana ni dhahiri ibeta lepi kujhingila.'
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 Mtawala mmonga akan'kota, akajobha, 'mwalimu n'nofu, niketabhuli ili niurithiajhi uzima bhwa milele?' (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Kwandajhakiki ukanikuta mwema? Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe n'nofu, muene.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Usimanyili amri- usizini, usikomi, usiheji, usishuhudili udesi, bhaheshimuajhi dadiwaku ni nyinuaku.
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 Mtawala jhola akajobha, 'Mambo agha ghoha nighakamuili kuhomela ne n'songolo.'
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Yesu bho aghapeliki aghu akan'jobhela, “Up'hong'okibhu lijambo limonga. Lazima uhemelesiajhi fyoha fya ujhenafu na ubhagabhilayi maskini, nabhi wibetakujha ni hazina kumbinguni -kisha hidayi unikesiajhi.'
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 tajiri bho ap'eliki aghu, ahuzuniki sana, kwandabha ajhele tajiri sana.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Kisha Yesu, akambona kyaahuzuniki nesu akajobha, 'Jinsi gani kyajhibetakujha panonono kwa tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara!
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Mana ni rahisi muni kwa ngamia kup'eta mu lilende lya sindanu, kuliko tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.'
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 Bhala bhabhap'eliki aghu, bhakajobha, 'Niani basi, jhaibeta kuokolibhwa?'
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Yesu ajibili, 'Mambo ghaghabelili kubhwesekana kwa mwanadamu kwa K'yara ghibhwesekana.”
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Petro akajobha, 'Naam, tete tukilekili khila khenu na tukukesisi bhebhe.'
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela, Muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela kujha ajhelepi munu jha alekhili nyumba au n'dala, au ndongo, au bhazazi au bhana, kwandabha jha ufalme bhwa K'yara,
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 jha kubhabhonganiya bhala kumi ni bhabhele akabhajobhela, 'Langayi, twikwela kulota Yerusalemu, ni mambo ghoha ambagho ghalembibhu ni manabii kuhusu Mwana ghwa Adamu ghibeta kukamilisibhwa.
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 Kwa mana ibeta kupokelibhwa mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa ni kubhombibhwa dhihaka ni jeuri ni kufunyibhwa mata.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Baada jhe kun'tobha fiboko bhibeta kun'koma ni ligono lya tatu ibeta kufufuka.'
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Bhajhelibhu lepi mambo agha, ni lilobhi ele lyafighibhu kwa bhene, nabhajhelibhu lepi mambo ghaghajobhibhu.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Ikajha Yesu bho akaribili Yeriko, munu mmonga kipofu ajhele atamili kando jha barabara isoka msaada,
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 bho ap'eliki umati bhwa bhanu bhip'eta akotili kitokela kiki.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Bhakan'jobhela Yesu ghwa Nazareti ip'eta.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Hivyo kipofu jhola akalela kwa sauti, akajobha, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Daudi, unirehemu.'
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Bhala bhabhagendeghe bhakanjwangila kipofu ojhu, bhakan'jobhela agudamayi. Lakini muene ajhendelili kulela kwa sauti, Mwana ghwa Daudi unirehemu.
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 Yesu akajhema akaamuru munu jhola aletibhwayi kwa muene. Kisha jhola kipofu bho an'karibili, Yesu akan'kota,
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 'Wilonda nikuketalayi kiki?' Akajobha, 'Bwana, nilonda kulola.'
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Ubhwesiajhi kulola. Imani jha jhobhi ikuponyisi.'
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Mara jhejhuejhu akabhwesya kulola, akan'kesya Yesu ni kun'tukusya k'yara. Bhobhalibhwene e'le bhanu bhoha bhan'sifiri K'yara.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
