Luka 18
1 Kisha akabhajobhela mfano bhwa namna kyabhilondeka kus'oka daima, not bhasikati tamaa.
And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
2 akajobha, 'Kwajhele ni hakimu mu mji fulani, ambajhe an'tileghe lepi K'yara na abhaheshimuili lepi bhanu.
saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
3 Kwajhele ni mjane mu jiji e'lu, ni muene andotili mara jhimehele, akajobha, 'Nitangatilayi kukabha haki dhidi jha mpinzani ghwangu.'
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
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,
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 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 doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
6 Kisha Bwana akajobha, 'Pe'lekesiajhi kya ajobhili hakimu ojhu dhalimu.
And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
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?
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 Nikabhajobhela kujha ibeta haki kwa bhene manyata. Lakini mwana ghwa Adamu pa ibeta kuhida, je, ibetakukolela imani paduniani?'
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 Ndipo akabhajobhela mfano obho kwa baadhi jhe bhanu ambabho bhikibhona bhene kujha bhenye haki ni kubhadharau bhanu bhangi.
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 'Bhanu bhabhele bhakwelili kulota ku hekalu kusali: Jhongi Mfarisayo ni jhongi mtoza ushuru.
'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
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 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 Nifunga mara sibhele khila wiki. Nipisya zaka mu mapato ghoha ghanikabha.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
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.
'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 Nikabhajobhela, munu ojho abhujhili kunyumba khoni abhalangibhu haki kuliko jhongi jhola, kwandabha kila jhe ikikwesya ibeta kuselesibhwa, lakini khila munu jheikaji nyenyekela ibetakujhinulibhwa.”
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 Bhanu bhandetili bhana bhabhi bhadebe, ili abhwesiajhi kubhagusa, lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bho bhaghabhuene aghu bhabhabesili.
And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke 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.
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 Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, munu jhejhioha jhaabelili kuupokela ufalme bhwa K'yara kama muana ni dhahiri ibeta lepi kujhingila.'
verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
18 Mtawala mmonga akan'kota, akajobha, 'mwalimu n'nofu, niketabhuli ili niurithiajhi uzima bhwa milele?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Kwandajhakiki ukanikuta mwema? Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe n'nofu, muene.
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
20 Usimanyili amri- usizini, usikomi, usiheji, usishuhudili udesi, bhaheshimuajhi dadiwaku ni nyinuaku.
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 Mtawala jhola akajobha, 'Mambo agha ghoha nighakamuili kuhomela ne n'songolo.'
And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
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.'
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 Lakini tajiri bho ap'eliki aghu, ahuzuniki sana, kwandabha ajhele tajiri sana.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
24 Kisha Yesu, akambona kyaahuzuniki nesu akajobha, 'Jinsi gani kyajhibetakujha panonono kwa tajiri kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara!
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
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 through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
26 Bhala bhabhap'eliki aghu, bhakajobha, 'Niani basi, jhaibeta kuokolibhwa?'
And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
27 Yesu ajibili, 'Mambo ghaghabelili kubhwesekana kwa mwanadamu kwa K'yara ghibhwesekana.”
and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
28 Petro akajobha, 'Naam, tete tukilekili khila khenu na tukukesisi bhebhe.'
And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
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,
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 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.
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 Kwa mana ibeta kupokelibhwa mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa ni kubhombibhwa dhihaka ni jeuri ni kufunyibhwa mata.
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
33 Baada jhe kun'tobha fiboko bhibeta kun'koma ni ligono lya tatu ibeta kufufuka.'
and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
34 Bhajhelibhu lepi mambo agha, ni lilobhi ele lyafighibhu kwa bhene, nabhajhelibhu lepi mambo ghaghajobhibhu.
And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Ikajha Yesu bho akaribili Yeriko, munu mmonga kipofu ajhele atamili kando jha barabara isoka msaada,
And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 bho ap'eliki umati bhwa bhanu bhip'eta akotili kitokela kiki.
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Bhakan'jobhela Yesu ghwa Nazareti ip'eta.
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
38 Hivyo kipofu jhola akalela kwa sauti, akajobha, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Daudi, unirehemu.'
and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
39 Bhala bhabhagendeghe bhakanjwangila kipofu ojhu, bhakan'jobhela agudamayi. Lakini muene ajhendelili kulela kwa sauti, Mwana ghwa Daudi unirehemu.
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 akajhema akaamuru munu jhola aletibhwayi kwa muene. Kisha jhola kipofu bho an'karibili, Yesu akan'kota,
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
41 'Wilonda nikuketalayi kiki?' Akajobha, 'Bwana, nilonda kulola.'
saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
42 Yesu akan'jobhela, 'Ubhwesiajhi kulola. Imani jha jhobhi ikuponyisi.'
And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
43 Mara jhejhuejhu akabhwesya kulola, akan'kesya Yesu ni kun'tukusya k'yara. Bhobhalibhwene e'le bhanu bhoha bhan'sifiri K'yara.
and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
