Yesu akawamba wahina wakwe msimo ili awahinye kuwa wakundigwa kuvika kia maa na wasekufa maya.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
BOU
Nee amba, “Mwe mzi umwe kuwa na muamuwa ambae nee khamvika Muungu wala kupatiiza mntu yoyose.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
BOU
Mwe mzi wouwo nee kuwa na mvyee yumwe mwekufiiwa nimgosi ekuwaye kambasa uyo muamuwa maa nyingi, akoonda amfiiye mbazi ekhigwe vintu vyakwe kulawa kwa mmasa wakwe.
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
BOU
Kwa kisingi kilehacho uyo muamuwa nee khakukunda kumfiiya mbazi uyo mwekufiiwa na mgosi, akini kisiikizi akamba, ‘Etiho mie khimuogoha Muungu wala khipatiiza mntu,
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
BOU
akini kwaviya uyu mvyee mwekufiiwa ni mgosi anipisha, nendanigosoe dodose adi ekhigwe vintu vyakwe, ama khivyo endaaendee kubua hanu, na kisiikizi endaanisokeze muno!’ ”
BSB
BSB:

6
BOU
Naho Zumbe nee aendeea kutamwiiya, “Tegeezani ekugombekavyo uyo muamuwa mfyaimi.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
BOU
Ivi Muungu khana awagosoee vitana wantu wakwe ekuwasaguwao wada ambao wamwiiya kio na musi? Ivi enda acheewe kuwaambiza?
BSB
BSB:
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8
BOU
Nawamba endaawaambize kinyio. Akini ivi Mwana wa Mntu endaho auye mwe inusi endaawaone wantu wamzumiao?”
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9
BOU
Yesu akawamba msimo unu kwa wada weonao ni wedi na kuwabeya watuhu.
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
BOU
“Wantu waidi nee waita he Nyumba ya Muungu kuvika, yumwe ne kawa Mfalisayo na mtuhu mtoza kodi.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
BOU
Uyo Mfalisayo nee agooka, akavika mwe moyo wakwe, ‘Ee Muungu, nakutogoa kwaviya mie khiyo inga wantu watuhu, Wameo, watiizi na wakianga. Nakutogoa mie khio inga mntu uyu mtoza kodi.
BSB
BSB:
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12
BOU
Mie nehiniza kuda maa mbii kwa kia juma, nalavya malavyo hantu ha kumi dimwe ya myengizo yangu yose.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
BOU
Akini yuda mtoza kodi, akawa kagooka kwa hae uku aogoha hata kwenua meso yakwe uwanga kwa Muungu, yee akenamia kwa huzuni na kutoza kifua chakwe nee amba, ‘Ee Muungu, unifiiye mbazi mie mwenye mavigaviga.’
BSB
BSB:
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14
BOU
Nawamba, uyo mtoza ushuu akauya nyumbai akawa kafiiwa mbazi. Akini yuda mtuhu, khivyo. Yuda etendae kuwa mkuu enda atendwe mdogo, na kia etendae mdodo enda atendwe kuwa mkuu.”
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15
BOU

Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16
BOU
Akini Yesu akawetanga hakwe akamba, “Wabadeni awa wana weze kwangu, wala msekuwaemeza, kwaviya Useuta wa Muungu ni kwaajii ya wantu inga awa.
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus called the children to Him and said,
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17
BOU
Nawamba kwei, mntu yoyose esaekuuhokea Useuta wa Muungu inga mwana mdodo, khana engie mwe Useuta uwo.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
BOU
Mkuu yumwe Myahudi nee amuuza Yesu, “Mhinyi yedi, nigosoe mbwai nidahe kuupata ugima wa misi yose kwesaho kisiikizi?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
BOU

BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
BOU
Wazimanya mwiko za Musa, ‘Usekuwa mkianga, usekukoma, usekubawa, usekumkoea mntu masa kwa uhokho, watunye tati yako na mami yako.’ ”

BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
BOU
Yesu ekumuonaho anausungu, ivyo akamba “Mntu mwenye vintu vingi khadaha kwengia kihufu kwe Useuta wa Muungu!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
BOU
Nivihufu muno kwa ngamia kwemboka mwe poota da singano kusima, mwenye vintu vingi kwengia mwe Useuta wa Muungu.”
