Luka 18
1 Boka po atikuwabakiya mfano wa namna babapali kwa loba daima, ni kana bakate tamaa.
And he spoke a parable to them [to this end], that men ought always [to] pray, and not to faint;
2 Atibaya,'Pabile ni hakimu katika mji fulani, ambaye atimwogopa kwaa Nnongo ni kubaheshimu bandu.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man.
3 Panile ni mjane katika jiji lyo, nayemba atiyenda mara nyingi, abaya, uniyangatiye pata haki dhidi ya mpinzani wango.'
And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 Kwa muda mrefu abi tayari kwaa kumyangatia, lakini baada ya muda atibaya kumoyo bake,'ingawa nenga nimyogopa kwaa Nnongo ama kubaeshimu bandu,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 lakini kwa lale yono mjane andakunichumbwa nipala kumnyangatia pata haki yake, kana iche nichosha kwa kuniichilia mara kwa mara.”
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Boka po Ngwana abaite,'mpekani chabaite hayo hakimu dhalimu.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Je Nnongo apaleta kwaa haki kwa bateule haki kwa bateule bake babaleliya mumtwekati ni kitamunyo? Je ywembe apala baa mwaminifu kwabe?
And will not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them?
8 Ninda kuwabakiya kwamba apaleta haki kwabo upesi. Lakini wakati mwana wa Adamu paicha, Je apala kolya imani mukilambo?'
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?
9 Ngapa abakiya mfano wono kwa baadhi ya bandu babakuibona bene baa na haki ni kubacharawa bandu benge,
And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Bandu abele baabwike yenda mulihekalu sali, yumo mfarisayo ywenge mtola ushuru.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Farisayo atiyema kaloba makowe haga kunani yake mwene,'Nnongo, nindakushukuru kwa vile nenga si kati bandu benge ambao ni nianyang, anyi, bandu basio wadilifu, azinzi, ama kati yono mtoza ushuru.
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 Nindataba mara ibele kila wiki. Nipiya zaka katika mapato yoti yaniyapata.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Lakini yolo mtoza ushuru, atiyema kuutalu, bila yawecha kakatuya minyo gake kumaunde, atikopwa kiuba chake nabaya, “Nnongo, nirehemu nenga mwene sambi.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Nindakuwabakiya, “Mundu yolo atibuya kaya abi atibalangilwa haki kuliko yolo ywenge, kwa sababu kila ywa ikweza apala uluywa, lakini kila mundu ywa nyenyekeya apala kakatuliwa.
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 Bandu batimletia bana babe achanga, linga aweze kubakamua, lakini anapunzi bake pababweni ni galo, Batibakanikiya.
And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16 Lakini Yesu atikubakema ni kubaya, “Mubaleke bana achunu baichange kwango nee, wala kanamubakanikii. Maana ufalme wa Nnongo ni wa banda kati abo.
But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Amin, nindakuwabakiya, mundu yeyoti ywapokeite kwaa ufalme wa Nnongo kati mwana ni dhahili apala jingya kwaa.'
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
18 Mtawala yumo atikumlokiya, akibaya,'Mwalimu mwema, nipange namani lenga niurithi ukoti wanga yomoka?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu atikum'bakiya,'kitumbwe namani kunikema mwema? Ntopo mundu ywabile mwema, ila Nnongo kichake.
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is] God.
20 Uzitangite amri-kana uzini, kana ujibe, kana ubulage, kana ubaye ubocho, ubaheshimu tate ni mao bako.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Yolo mtawala atibaya,'makowe aga goti nikuyakamwa panibile kijana.'
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
22 Yesu payowine ago ammakiye, “utipongokiwe ni kikowe chimo, lachima upeyeme vyoti vya ubi navyo ni ubagane kwa maskini, ni mwenga upala baa ni hazina kumaunde, boka po uiche, unikengame.'
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Lakini tajiri payowine ago, atiuzunika muno kwa sababu abile tajiri wanambone.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 Boka po Yesu, amweni pauzunike muno atibaya,'Jinsi gani yaipalanga mgumu kwa matajiri jingya katika ufalme wa Nnongo.
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Maana ni rahisi muno kwa ngamya petamu, liembwa lya sindano, kuliko tajiri jingya mu'ufalme wa Nnongo.'
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 Balo babayowine ago, batibaya,'nganyi bai, ywawecha lokolelwa?'
And they that heard [it], said, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu kayangwa,'makowe yagawecha kanika kwaa kwa mundu kwa Nnongo yanda wechekana.”
Then he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Petro kabaya,'Naam. twenga tutileka kila kilebe ni kukukengama wenga.'
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 Boka po Yesu atikuwabakiya, Amin, nindakuwabakiya kwamba ntopo mundu yailei nyumba ama nnyumbowe, ama anunage, ama alongowe ana bana, kwa ajili ya ufalme wa Nnongo,
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Baada yakubakusanya balo komi ni ibele, atikuwabakiya,'lola, tupala panda yenda Yerusalemu, ni makowe yoti yatiyandikwa ni manabii husu mwana wa Adamu yapata timiya.
Then he took the twelve, and said to 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 Kwa maana apajeilwa mumaboko ga bandu bamataifa ni apatendelwa dhihaka ni pyata, ni kumtemiya mmate.
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on;
33 Baada ya kumkombwa iboko kum'bulaga ni lichoba lya tatu apauluka.'
And they will scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he will rise again.
34 Baelewite kwaa, makowe aga, ni neno labile liiywa kwabe, ni baelewite kwaa, makowe yabaite.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 Yabile Yesu karibia Yeriko, mundu yumo kipofu abile atamite mbwega ya ndela kaloba msaada,
And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;
36 Payowine bandu banyansima bapeta atilokya namani chakipitike?
And hearing the multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Batikum'bakiya kwamba Yesu mwana wa Nazareti andapeta.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Nga yolo kipofu atilela kwa lilobe, nabaya, Yesu, mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu.'
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Balo bababile kabatwanga batikumkalipiya yolo kipofu, nakum'bakiya ndooti, lakini yembe atizidi lela kwa lilobe mwana wa Daudi, unirehemu.
And they who 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 Yesu kayema niamuru mundu yolo aletwe kwake boka po yolo kipofu atikuyogeliya, Yesu atikunlokiya.
And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
41 Upala nikupangiye namani?' Atibaya,'Ngwana, nipala bona.'
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Yesu atikum'bakiya,'upate bona. Imani yako ikuponyile.'
And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Mara yeyelo apatike bona, akamkengama Yesu atimtukuza Nnongo pabamweni lelo, bandu boti batikumsifu Nnongo.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise to God.
