Luuka 18
1 neke akavavula ikihwanikisio ndavule lunoghile kukufunya jaatu, kisila kukatala.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 akatisaha kwealyale umhighi mu likaaja limonga, juno naalayle ikumwoghopa uNguluve kange naavikilagha mu mwoojo kukuvatanga avaanhu.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 mwealyale umfwile jumonga mulikaaja ilio, ghwope akamulutila kekinga akati, “nange unighilile un'koleumulugu ghwango aleke kutoola ifyango.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 ku nsiki ntali naale ipinyile kuuti antange, neke ye ghukilile unsiki akasagha mu mwoojo ghwae. pope une nikumwoghopa UNguluve nambe kukuvoghopa avaanhu.
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 pope ulwakuva umfwile uju ikung'atasia nikuntanga akave ikighavo kyake neke aleke kukung'atasia kange”.
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 neke uMutwa akajova akati, 'pulikisia fino ajovile umhighi umhosi uju.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 pe uNguluve ghwope naileta ikyang'haani ku vimike vake vano viku mulilila pamwisi na pakilo? pe umwene naiiva nulugudo kuveene?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience 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 quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 pepano akavavula ikihwani iki pwevalyale avaanhu vamonga vano vikuvoona kuuti aveene kuva vagholofu na kuvapenapula avange,
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all 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; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
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 by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 une ku nywabaha nibuhila kulia kavili kange nitavula ilitekelo mu meto soni sino nikava.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 neke unsongesia songo, alyimile pavutali looli nalyaghelile nambe kukwinamula amaaso ghake kukyanya. akatovatova pakifuva kya mwene akati, 'Nguluve unsaghile une ne muhosi'
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, 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 everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 avaanhu vakatwalila avaanha avadebe kuuti vamwabasie, neke avavulanisivua vake ye vavwene aghu, vakavasigha.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the 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.
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 kyang'ani nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno naikvupila uvutwa vwa Nguluve hwene mwana sesene nailikwingila'.
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 um'baha jumonga akam'posia akati, 'm'bulanisi nono, nivombe kiki neke pambele nive nu vwumi vwa kusila na kusila?' (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, 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.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 usikagwile indaghilo nunga vwafukaghe, nungabudaghe, nungahijaghe, nungolekaghe uvudesi, umwoghopaghe uvaaso nu mamajo.
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
21 um'baha jula akati, 'isio sooni nigadilile kuhuma ye nili nsoleka”.
He said, “I have observed all these things 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'.
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 neke umofu ye apulike aghuo, akasukunile kyongo ulwakuva alyale ni kyuma kinga.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 pe pano uYesu, akam'bona vule asukunile kyongo akati, 'lutalamu kyongo avanya kyuma kukwingila ku vutwa vwa Nguluve!
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
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 enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 vala vano valyapulike aghuo vakati, pe ghweveni lino juno ndepoonu ipokua?'
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 uYesu akamula akati, 'sino avaanhu vikunua kuvomba ku ngufu saave neke kwa Nguluve sivombeka'.
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 uPeteli akati, 'Ena, usue tufilekile ifinu fyoni tukuvingilile uve.'
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
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,
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’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.
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 ulwakuva iiva mumavoko gha vaanhu avaYahudi vikum'bedagha na pikumuligha na pikumfunyila amate.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 kange vikun'kopagha ni fijeledi na kukum'buda neke pakighono ikya vutatu isyuuka.'
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 navalyasikagwile sino ijova isi. nalilisio ili lifisilue kuveene, navalyasitang'inie sino sijovilue
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 pe lukava uYesu pano alipipi ku Yeliko, umuunhu jumonga um'bofu alikalile palubale lwa nsevo akaumagha vantange,
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 ye apulike ilipugha lwa vaanhu likuling'ania akaposia kiki kihumila.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 vakam'bula kuuti uYesu ghwa Nasaleti ikila.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 pe um'bofu jula akalila fiijo akati, 'Yesu, mwana ghwa Davidi, unisaghile'.
He cried out, “Yeshua, you 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.
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 uYesu akima akasuuma umuunhu jula vamulete kwa mwene. pe um'bofu jula ye amuvelelile, uYesu akamposia,
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 ghulonda nikuvombele kiki? akati, 'Mutwa, nilonda kulola'.
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 uYesu akam'bula, 'lino ulolaghe. ulwitiko lwako lukusosisie'.
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 ku nsiki ghughuo akavisagha ilola, akam'bingilila uYesu na kukumughiniauNguluve. vati valyaghile ili, avaanhu vooni vakamughinia uNguluve.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
