Luuka 18
1 neke akavavula ikihwanikisio ndavule lunoghile kukufunya jaatu, kisila kukatala.
And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 akatisaha kwealyale umhighi mu likaaja limonga, juno naalayle ikumwoghopa uNguluve kange naavikilagha mu mwoojo kukuvatanga avaanhu.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 mwealyale umfwile jumonga mulikaaja ilio, ghwope akamulutila kekinga akati, “nange unighilile un'koleumulugu ghwango aleke kutoola ifyango.
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 ku nsiki ntali naale ipinyile kuuti antange, neke ye ghukilile unsiki akasagha mu mwoojo ghwae. pope une nikumwoghopa UNguluve nambe kukuvoghopa avaanhu.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 pope ulwakuva umfwile uju ikung'atasia nikuntanga akave ikighavo kyake neke aleke kukung'atasia kange”.
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 neke uMutwa akajova akati, 'pulikisia fino ajovile umhighi umhosi uju.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 pe uNguluve ghwope naileta ikyang'haani ku vimike vake vano viku mulilila pamwisi na pakilo? pe umwene naiiva nulugudo kuveene?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 nikuvavula kuuti, ikwisa ni kyang'haani kuveene ng'ani ng'ani. neke unsiki ghono umwana gwa muunhu ikwisa ilikulwagha ulwitiko lwa iisi?'
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 pepano akavavula ikihwani iki pwevalyale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvoona kuuti aveene kuva vagholofu na kuvapenapula avange,
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 avaanhu vavili vakaluta kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila: jumo aale mFalisayi nu junge n'songesia songo.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 umFalisayi akima na akifunya ndiki mu mwoojo ghwake, 'nikukuhongesia Nguluve vule une nanili ndavule avaanhu avange vano vakunyi, avaanhu vano vahoka makole, avavwafu nambe ndavule uju unsongesia songo.
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 une ku nywabaha nibuhila kulia kavili kange nitavula ilitekelo mu meto soni sino nikava.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 neke unsongesia songo, alyimile pavutali looli nalyaghelile nambe kukwinamula amaaso ghake kukyanya. akatovatova pakifuva kya mwene akati, 'Nguluve unsaghile une ne muhosi'
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 nikuvavula, umuunhu ndavule uju alyagomwike kukaja apyanilue inyivi saake sooni kukila ujunge jula ulwakuva gheni juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamusia, ghwope juno ikujisia uNguluve alyantosia.
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 avaanhu vakatwalila avaanha avadebe kuuti vamwabasie, neke avavulanisivua vake ye vavwene aghu, vakavasigha.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16 neke uYesu akavakemela kwa mwene akatisagha, 'valeke avaanha avadebe vise kulyine nambe namungavasighahe. ulwakuva uvutwa vwa Nguluve vwe va vaanhu ndavule avuo.
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 kyang'ani nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno naikvupila uvutwa vwa Nguluve hwene mwana sesene nailikwingila'.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 um'baha jumonga akam'posia akati, 'm'bulanisi nono, nivombe kiki neke pambele nive nu vwumi vwa kusila na kusila?' (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 uYesu akamwamul akati, 'kiki ghukung'emela nnono? nakwale umuunhu juno nnono, loli ju Nguluve mwene.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
20 usikagwile indaghilo nunga vwafukaghe, nungabudaghe, nungahijaghe, nungolekaghe uvudesi, umwoghopaghe uvaaso nu mamajo.
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 um'baha jula akati, 'isio sooni nigadilile kuhuma ye nili nsoleka”.
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 uYesu ye asipulike isio akam'bula, “upeelile ikinu kimonga. lunoghile ughusie ifinu fyoni fino ulinafyo neke uvaghavile avakotofu, najuve ghuliva ni kyuma ku kyanya - kange ghwise umbingilile'.
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 neke umofu ye apulike aghuo, akasukunile kyongo ulwakuva alyale ni kyuma kinga.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 pe pano uYesu, akam'bona vule asukunile kyongo akati, 'lutalamu kyongo avanya kyuma kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve!
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 lwakuva kihugu kyongo ingamila kukilila pa kilioli kya sindano, kuliko kwa mmofu kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve.
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 vala vano valyapulike aghuo vakati, pe ghweveni lino juno ndepoonu ipokua?'
And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
27 uYesu akamula akati, 'sino avaanhu vikunua kuvomba ku ngufu saave neke kwa Nguluve sivombeka'.
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 uPeteli akati, 'Ena, usue tufilekile ifinu fyoni tukuvingilile uve.'
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 pe pano uYesu akavavula, kyang'haani nikuvavula kuuti, nakwale umuunhu juno ajilekile inyumba, nambe un'dala nambe unyalukolo nambe avapafi nambe avaanha vwimila uvutwa vwa Nguluve,
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 pe baho ye vakong'anisie vala kijigjo na vavili, akavavula, 'lola, tutogha kuluta kuYelusalemu, na masio ghoni ghano ghalembilue na vavili kujova isa mwana ghwa Muunhu kuuti ghikwilana.
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 ulwakuva iiva mumavoko gha vaanhu avaYahudi vikum'bedagha na pikumuligha na pikumfunyila amate.
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 kange vikun'kopagha ni fijeledi na kukum'buda neke pakighono ikya vutatu isyuuka.'
And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 navalyasikagwile sino ijova isi. nalilisio ili lifisilue kuveene, navalyasitang'inie sino sijovilue
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 pe lukava uYesu pano alipipi ku Yeliko, umuunhu jumonga um'bofu alikalile palubale lwa nsevo akaumagha vantange,
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 ye apulike ilipugha lwa vaanhu likuling'ania akaposia kiki kihumila.
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 vakam'bula kuuti uYesu ghwa Nasaleti ikila.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 pe um'bofu jula akalila fiijo akati, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Davidi, unisaghile'.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 vala vano valyale vighenda vakan'dalikila um'bofu jula, vakam'bula ujike. neke umwene akaghina kulila fiijo, 'mwana ghwa Davidi, usanighile.
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 uYesu akima akasuuma umuunhu jula vamulete kwa mwene. pe um'bofu jula ye amuvelelile, uYesu akamposia,
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 ghulonda nikuvombele kiki? akati, 'Mutwa, nilonda kulola'.
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 uYesu akam'bula, 'lino ulolaghe. ulwitiko lwako lukusosisie'.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 ku nsiki ghughuo akavisagha ilola, akam'bingilila uYesu na kukumughiniauNguluve. vati valyaghile ili, avaanhu vooni vakamughinia uNguluve.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.
