Luka 18
1 Bhai a Yeshu gubhatagulile lutango lwa kuti, inaapinjikwa kwaajuga a Nnungu mobha gowe, gwangali kuwa ntima.
And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
2 Gubhashite, “Nshilambo shimo bhashinkupagwa bhaukumula bhamo bhakaajogopaga a Nnungu na wala kujali bhandu.
saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
3 Na nshilambo shosho, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhashitenga bhatendaga kwaajendela bhene bhaukumula bhala bhalinkuti, ‘Nng'ukumule mbate aki jangu kuka mmagongo nnjangu.’
and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
4 Gakupitaga mobha gamagwinji bhaukumula bhala bhalikana, ikabheje, kungai gubhailugulile bhayene. ‘Nkali ngakwaajogopa a Nnungu na wala ngajali bhandu,
And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
5 ikabheje pabha abha bhashitengabha bhanangoya ukomu, shinaukumulile bhapate aki jabho, bhanapunde kwiya ndotoya!’”
at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
6 Bhai Bhakulungwa a Yeshu gubhashite, “Mpilikananje shibhashite bheleketa bhene bhaukumula bhangali bha mmbone bhala.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 Bhuli, a Nnungu bhakaatendelanga aki bhaagulwenje na bhayene, bhakwaagutilanga shilo na mui? Bhuli shibhakabhe kwaajangutilanga?
And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
8 Ngunakunnugulilanga shibhaajangutilanje shangupe. Ikabheje, bhuli pa shilambolyo shipabhe na ngulupai mobha gashaishe Mwana juka Mundu?”
I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
9 A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje aluno lutango luno, bhene bhaibhonangaga kuti bhakwetenje aki, nikwaanyegayanga bhananji bhowe.
And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:
10 “Bhandunji bhabhili bhashinkujombokanga kwenda kwaajuga a Nnungu Kuliekalu, jumo paaliji Mpalishayo, na juna nkamula koli.”
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 “Mpalishayo jula gwajimi, nikwaajuga a Nnungu shamuntima nnei, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga bhananji, bhadokanga na bhalambilanga eu bha labhalabha. Ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga aju nkamula koliju.
The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
12 Ngunatabha pabhili kwa juma jimo, ngunashoya mbepei ya lipungu lya kumi lya indu yangu yowe ingupata.’”
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
13 “Ikabheje nkamula koli jula, ali ajimi kwataliya alijogopa nkali kujinula meyo gakwe kunnungu, ikabhe alikwiikoma pantima kwa kwibhonela shiya, gwashite, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu mmonele shiya nne ngwete yambi.’
And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
14 Ngunakummalanjilanga, Nkamula koli jula pabhujile kunngwakwe ali abhalanganishiywe aki na a Nnungu kupunda Palishayo jula. Pabha jojowe akwiikweya shaatuluywe, na jojowe akwiituluya shaakweywe.”
I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 Bhandunji gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu bhana bhashoko nkupinga bhaabhishilanje makono na bhaajujilanje mboka. Bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakaabhonanjeje, gubhaakalipilenje.
And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.
16 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhalinkuti, “Mwaalekanje bhana bhashoko bhanyiilanje, wala nnaaibhililanje, pabha Upalume gwa a Nnungu ni gwa bhandunji malinga bhanganyabha.
But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe akauposhele Upalume gwa a Nnungu malinga mwana jwanshoko, akajinjila Muupalumemo.”
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Akalongolele bhamo bha Shiyaudi bhashinkwabhuya a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya mmambone, ndende bhuli mbate gumi gwa pitipiti?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Pakuti nnaanjema najwa mmbone? Jwakwa ali jwa mmbone ikabhe a Nnungu jikape.
But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.
20 Gwimanyi shalia. ‘Unalabhelabhe, unabhulaje, unajibhe, unakong'ondele ya unami na gwaaishimie ainago na akwenu.’”
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 Nshanda jula gwabhalugulile, “Gene gowego nigakamwile tandubhila kuuungwendo gwangu.”
And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhammalanjile, “Ushitubhilwa shindu shimo, ukaushe indu yako yowe yuukwete, na mmbiyayo gwaagabhilanje bhalaga, na ugwe shiukole shibhiko shako kunnungu, kungai ujie kuungagule.”
And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
23 Ikabheje mundu jula akapilikaneje genego, gwainginishe kwa kaje, pabha ashinkukola mali gamagwinji.
But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 A Yeshu gubhannolile gubhashite, “Shiibhe ukomu kuka tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu!
But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;
25 Kweli, shiikomboleshe ngamia kupeleta palilanga lya ingano, kupunda tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Bhandunji bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai igala gani shakombole tapulwa?”
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Gakaakomboleka na bhandunji, kwa a Nnungu ganakomboleka.”
But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 A Petili gubhashite “Nnole uwe tushileka indu yetu yowe itukwete nikunkagula!”
And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
29 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe aleshile nyumba eu akagwe eu akulugwe eu bhankwetenje eu bhana kwa ligongo lya Upalume gwa a Nnungu,
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
31 A Yeshu gubhaatolilenje likumi limo na bhabhili bhala kunyenje, nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mpilikananje! Tunajomboka kuloya ku Yelushalemu, kweneko gowe gajandikwe na ashinkulondola gaka Mwana juka Mundu shigatimilile.
And he took the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
32 Pabha shakamuywe kubhandu bha ilambo ina, na bhene bhanganyabho shibhampetekuyanje, shibhantukananje na kunng'unila mata.
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
33 Shibhankomanje na mishapilo nikummulaga, ikabheje lyubha lya tatu shayushe.”
And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
34 Ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhangagamanyanga gene malobhego, pabha bhashinkuiywanga malombolelo gakwe, kwa nneyo bhangagamanyanga gubhabheleketaga.
And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
35 A Yeshu bhakabhandishileje ku Yeliko, mundu jumo nangalole nkujuga ashinkupagwa nnyenje mpanda alijuga.
And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
36 Akapilikaneje lugwinjili lwa bhandu lulipita gwabhushiye, “Shipali nndi?”
And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
37 Gubhammalanjilenje, “A Yeshu Bhanashaleti bhanapita.”
And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
38 Jwalakwe gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “A Yeshu, bhanabhabho a Daudi, mmonele shiya!”
And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Bhandunji bhalongolelenje bhala gubhankalipilenje nkupinga apumule, ikabheje jwalakwe gwapundile kweya lilobhe, “A Yeshu bhanabhabho a Daudi mmonele shiya!”
And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 A Yeshu gubhajimi, gubhatumile bhannjiyenabhonji pubhaliji pala. Nangalole jula akabhandishileje, a Yeshu gubhammushiye,
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],
41 “Upinga nikutendele nndi?” Gwashite, “Mmakulungwa, ngunapinga nole.”
What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
42 A Yeshu gubhannugulile, “Bhai lola! Ngulupai jako jikulamiye.”
And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
43 Na shangupe nangalole jula gwakombwele kulola, gwabhakagwile a Yeshu alipita kwaakuya a Nnungu. Bhandunji bhowe bhakagabhonanjeje genego gubhainiyenje a Nnungu.
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
