Luka 18
1 Linu cha wambe nguli kuvali muva swanelela ku lapelela mi kanzi va zwafi ku wamba vulyo,
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 kuvena muleneñi u mwi mukuvena, Mwatuli ya sana vali kutiye Ireeza ni kusa kuteka vantu.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 Linu ku vene Imbelwa mu muleneñi mi i vali kwizanga, nati, unituse ni wane ku atulelwa kozo ini zeka naye.'
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 Chenako nde kana va tavele ku mutusa, linu chenako zana chati, kwali iye mwine, nga kuti kani tiiyi Ireeza nanga ku kuteka vantu.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Linu uzu mukulwakazi we Mbelwa yoni kateze. Linu, kani mutuse ku nkatulo, ili kuti kanzi ani katazi kwi zanga kwa ngu.”'
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Linu Ireeza chati, Muzuwe, mutekeleze ku mu atuli za wamba.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Linu Ireeza kete ashemuve va ketetwe, avo va lilila kwali masiku ni musihali? Na, kana mwa liyehe ku vali?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 Ni mi lwilite kuti ka shemuve vonse cha kuli tahanela Ni hakuva vulyo Mwana a Mukwame cheza, Chavu saku sima, keze a wane ntumelo mu nkanda?”
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 Linu haho cha wambe, nguli ku vamwi avo vava shushwezwa avo vene kuva va shiyeme imi vavali ku sheununa vamwi vantu,
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Va kwame vo vele, vava yendi mwi Tempele kuku lapela zu mwi avali Mufalisi zu mwi avali Mutelisi.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Mufalisi cha zima ni ku lapela manzwi aa kwali iye mwine, Ireeza, ni litumela kwako, ka kuti kani swani sina vantu vamwi vasa, va sa jolwele, mahule, kapa uzu Mutelisi.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Nili nyimanga zilyo tovele mwi nsunda, ni zwisanga vulishumi ku zonse zini wana.'
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Kono Mutelisi, Na zimene vuta vule, na sa oli nanga ku nyamuna Menso akwe kwi ulu, na kwete kuli kava- kava achizuva, nati Ireeza, uni zuwile nkulo vutuku, ni tenda zivi.'
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Niti kwako, uzu Mukwame ava voli kunzuvo yakwe na jolwezwe Kuhita mwakwe, cho kuti muntu yense yo likatula iye mwine ka vozwe haansi mi yo likokoveza iye mwine ka kakatulwe.”
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Vantu vava kuleta kwali ni va hwile vavo, ili kuti ava wonde, kono linu va rutwana nga vavona vulyo vava va kalimeli.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Lino Jesu chava sumpila kwali, naati, “Muzuminine va hwile kukeza kwa ngu, mi kanzi mu vakanisi kwiza kwa ngu. Imi Muvuso wa Mulimu nji wavo vaswana navo.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Chavu sakusima, niti kwenu, yense ya sate a amuhele muvuso we Ireeza sina munini, kete, enjile mumu vuso we Ireeza.”
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Muvusi zumwi cha mu vuza, nati, Muruti mulotu, moni tende vule kuti ni luwe muvuso we Ireeza?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesu chati kwali, uni sumpilazi Mulotu? kakwina muntu mulotu, kwande Ireeza yeke.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Wizi milao ine kumi, kanzi uvuki, kanzi wihai, kanzi wi vii, kanzi uhi vupaki vwa mapa, ukuteke veso ni va nyoko.”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Muvusi chati, zonse zo chini va, zikuteki kuzwilila ku vu lombwana bwangu.”
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Linu Jesu nga zuwa bulyo, cha muwambila nati kwina chonke chosena uswanela ku uza zako zonse zokwete ni ku yavelela va votana, mi ko wane chifuma cha kwi ulu, linu wize uni chilile.”
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Linu Muhumanehi nga zuwa izi zintu. Chava yo swavite ahulu. Sina avali Muhumanehi ahulu.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 Linu, Jesu cha muvona kuti uswavite ahulu mi chati, ku kukutu vule kwavo, va humanehi kukwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Imi ku huva ku nkamele kuku njila mulinso lye ndonga, ku hita mu Humanehi kwinjila mumu vuso we Ireeza.'
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Avo vava tekeleze chivati, linu nji vani vete va puluswe?
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 “Jesu chee tava, nati zintu zisa woliki ku vantu zi woleka kwe Ireeza.”
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Pitrosi chati, “linu, tuvasiyi zintu zonse zivali zetu ni kukwichilila.”
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 Jesu cha wamba kuvali, Chavu sakusima, ni wamba kwenu niti kakwina kwenu umwina ya vasiyi inzuvo yakwe kapa Mwihyavwe, kapa vana vakwe, nchizyakwe, kapa vashemi vakwe, vakeni cha muvuso we Ireeza.
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Nga a kunganya va rutwana vakwe vene kumi, ni vovele, chava wambila nati, “muvone, chitukaya kwa Jerusalema mi ni zintu zonse ziñoletwe ku vapolofita cha Mwana Mukwame kazi zuzilikizwe.
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Kakuti kahewe mu manza avo vasezi Ireeze. mi, kava musomoze ni ku musheununa kumunyandisa ni kumu swila mate.
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 Chiva mushimeha ni kumwi haya mi mwi zuva lyavu tatu ka vuke hape.”
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Kena vava zuwisisi chimwi kwezi zintu mi aya manzwi ava humbitwe kuvali, mi kana vava zuwi mwi zintu zava wambi.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 Ku vezi vulyo sina Jesu chava atumele munzi wa Jeriko, mukwame wa chivofu ave kele hembali ne kululu na vu kumbila kuvantu,
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 cha zuwa inyangela ni hitite, cha vuza ziva ku tendahala,
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 chiva muwambila kuti nji Jesu wa Nazareta yo hitite he mbali.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 Linu, Mukwame wa chivofu cha, huweleza, nati, “Jésu Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 vamwi vavali kwenda avusu, chi va mu kalimela Mukwame wa chivofu, ku muwambila kuti atontole. Kono nja huweleza kuhitiliza, Mwana Davida, uni fwile nkumbu.”
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Jesu cha zimana ni kulaela vakwame kuti vamu lete kwali. Linu mukwame wa chivofu avena hafwi, Jesu cha muvuza,
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “Usaka kuti ni kutendele nzi?” chati, “Simwine nisaka ku hewa ku vona.”
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Jesu chati kwali, Linu tambule ku vona. Intumelo yako chi ya kuhoza.”
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Chenako imwina chata mbula ku vona mi cha mwi chilila, nakavu lumbeke Ireeza. Ha kuvonwe zi, Vantu vonse chiva tanga kulumbeka Ireeza.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
