Luka 18
1 Yesu kawagambiliti wantumintumi wakuwi mfanu, kawafunda wafiruwa kuluwa Mlungu mashaka goseri pota na koya.
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 Yesu kalonga, “Mlushi lumu kuweriti na mtoza yakamtira ndiri Mlungu, ama kumjali muntu.
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 Na kuweriti na mkenja mulushi lulii yakamgenderiti hakimu pakaluwa haki yakuwi pakatakula, ‘Guntangi mpati shanfuruwa kupata kulawa kwa mngondu gwangu.’
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 Kwa shipindi shivuwa hakimu kafiriti ndiri kumtanga, kumbiti upeleru wakuwi kaligambira mweni, ‘Tembera neni namtira ndiri Mlungu pota kulishera wantu,
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 toziya mkenja ayu kangaziyaga nentu, hanumwamuliri shauri lyakuwi. Pantenda ndiri hakendereyi kwiza panu na upeleru hakang'aziyi nentu!’”
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 Mtuwa kendereyiti kutakula, “Mpikaniri ntambu yakatakuliti mtoza ayu mdoda.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Vinu, hashi Mlungu hapeni kawamuliri wantu wakuwi yawamlilira pashiru na paliwala? Hashi, hakakawi kuwatanga?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 Nukugambirani, hakawamuliri kanongola. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza hakuweri na njimiru pasipanu?”
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 Yesu kawagambiriti viraa mfanu gwagufata gwa walii yawalilola kuwera waherepa na kuwazarawu wantu wamonga.
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 Kalonga, “Kuweriti na wantu wawili wakweniti kugenda Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu kuluwa. Yumu kaweriti Mfalisayu na yumonga mtola kodi.”
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 Mfalisayu kagolokiti gweka yakuwi na kuluwa shimoyumoyu pakalonga, “‘Mlungu mayagashii, neni nanalwaliya ndiri, nampayu ndiri ama mndiyandiya gambira wantu wamonga. Nonga mayagashii kwaku toziya neni nulifana ndiri gambira mtola kodi ayu.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 Nfunga mala mbili mulijuma, ndaviya fungu lilongu lya vintu vyampatiti.’”
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 Kumbiti mtola kodi kagolokiti kwa kutali, kanyasula ndiri sheni shakuwi kumpindi, su kahinginika mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, “Mlungu, gumoneri lusungu neni yantenda vidoda!”
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 Yesu kalonga, “Nukugambirani, mtola kodi kawuyiti ukaya pawamlekeziyiti vidoda vyakatenditi, kumbiti Mfarisayu ulii wamlekeziyiti ndiri vidoda vyakatenda. Toziya woseri yawafira kulikweniziya hawawasulusiyi, na woseri yawalisulusiya weni hawawakweniziyi.”
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Wantu wamu wamjegiriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawatulili mawoku gakuwi. Wafundwa pawawoniti, wawalewelera ntambu yawatenda,
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 kumbiti Yesu kawashema wana wizi kwakuwi pakalonga, “Muwaleki wana wadidini wizi kwaneni, namuwalewelera toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu ndo wa wantu gambira awa.
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Nukugambirani nakaka! Muntu yoseri yakanka ndiri Ufalumi wa Mlungu gambira mwana mdidini hapeni kingiri amu.”
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 Mkulu gwa Wayawudi kamkosiyiti Yesu, “mfunda muheri, ntendi shishi nwezi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu kamkosiya, “Iwera ashi gunshema muheri? Kwahera muntu yakawera muheri kumbiti Mlungu gweka yakuwi.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 Gugamana malagaliru, ‘Naguwera muhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, nagumtakulila mpayu muntu yoseri, guwapanani ligoya tati na mawu gwaku.’”
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Yomberi kawankula, “Kwanjira panweriti mdidini, nugajimira malagaliru goseri aga.”
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 Yesu pakapikaniriti aga kamgambira, “Guleka shintu shimu shagufiruwa kutenda. Guwuzi kila shintu shaguwera nashu na guwagawiri wahushu mpiya azi, na gwenga haguweri mlundamali kumpindi, su gwizi na gunfati.”
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 Kumbiti muntu ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kahinginikiti nentu toziya kaweriti mlunda nentu.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 Yesu kawoniti ntambu yakahinginikiti na katakula, “Ntambu ayi hayiweri vikamala kwa wantu walunda kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu.
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Hayiweri ikamala kwa walunda mali kwingira mu Ufalumi wa Mlungu kuliku shigongolu shawamshema Ngamiya kupena mushitoboli sha sindanu.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Wantu walii pawapikaniriti aga wakosiya, “Su gaa hakalopoziwi?”
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 Yesu kawankula, “Gawezekana ndiri kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu gawezekana.”
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Peteru kamgambira, “Guloli! Twenga tuleka kaya zetu na kukufata gwenga.”
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Yesu kawagambira, “Yina! Nukugambirani nakaka muntu yoseri yakalekiti numba, ama mdala, ama walongu, ama mawu na watati wakuwi, ama wana toziya ya Ufalumi wa Mlungu
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Yesu kawatoliti wantumintumi walii lilongu na wawili na kuwagambira, “Mpikaniri! Twankugenda Yerusalemu kulii kila shintu wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti, kuusu Mwana gwa Muntu hagalawiri.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 Hawamupanani kwa wantu yawaweriti ndiri Wayawudi, na womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamwigilangi na hawamtemeri mata.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Hawamsyatangi ndomontu na hawamlagi, kumbiti lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 Kumbiti wantumintumi wavimaniti ndiri vintu vyoseri avi, mana ya visoweru viweriti vififwa kwawomberi, na wavimaniti ndiri shakatakuliti Yesu.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Yesu pakaweriti kapakwegera na Yeriku, kuweriti na muntu yakana lwisi yakalivagiti panjira pakaluwa.
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 Pakapikaniriti lipinga lya wantu lyankupita kakosiya, “Kwana shishi?”
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 Womberi wamgambira, “Yesu gwa Nazareti kankupita.”
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 Nayomberi kalila kwa liziwu likulu, “Yesu! Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 Wantu wawalongoleriti wamkalipira pawamgambira kanyamalili. Kumbiti yomberi kendereyiti kubotanga, “Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gumoneri lusungu!”
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 Yesu kagolokiti, na kawagambira wamjegeri muntu kana lwisi ulii. Muntu kana lwisi pakasokiti pakwegela, Yesu kamkosiya,
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 “Gufira nukutenderi shishi?” Nayomberi kawankula, “Mtuwa nduwa mpati kuwona kayi.”
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Yesu kamgambira, “Guwoni! Kwakunjimira kwaku, ndo gupona.”
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 Pala palii, kaweza kuwona, na kamgendera Yesu, kalonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu. Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti hangu, wamkwisiti Mlungu.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
