1. 1IKZYɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra abhɨɨga bhaazɨ ekerenjo, kobheerecha kʉbha bhareenderwa kʉsabha Mungu sikʉ zʉʉsi, bhatakwa umwʉyʉ.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2. 2IKZAkabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Mʉrʉbhɨri rʉmwɨ, haareho na umutiniri wʉmwɨ. Umutiniri wuyo, atʉʉbhahirɨ Mungu, hamwɨ kʉdɨɨrɨɨra mʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3IKZMʉrʉbhɨri ruyo, aarɨmu umukwirwa wʉmwɨ. Aarɨ araja kumutiniri wuyo manga kaaru kumwisasaama, arabhuga, ‘Nɨrasabha ombonere eheene gatɨ waanɨ nu umubhisa waanɨ.’BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4IKZ“Kwibhaga irɨɨhu umutiniri wuyo akaanga kwibhagɨra umukwirwa wuyo. Nawe, ɨtɨnɨrʉ akiigambɨra mumwʉyʉ gwazɨ, ‘Inyɨ nɨtakwʉbhaha Mungu, na nɨtakʉdɨɨrɨɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi.BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5IKZNawe, kʉ kʉbha umukwirwa wʉnʉ aranyaacha bhʉkʉngʼu, nangʉ nɨramoha eheene yaazɨ, korereke ataaza kunihya ku kunyizaku!’ ”BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6IKZAkʉmara, Ʉmʉkʉrʉ akabhuga, “Twɨgɨ bhwaheene ekerenjo chu umutiniri ʉmʉbhɨ wuyo.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7IKZArɨɨbhɨ nɨmbu, ɨrabhabhwɨ kwa Mungu, atakʉbhasakirya abharobhorwa bhaazɨ bhanʉ bhakʉmʉrɨrɨra umwise nu ubhutikʉ? Heene arakeezera kʉbhasakirya?BSBBSB: Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8. 8IKZNɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, arabhaha eheene yaabhʉ bhwangʉ. Nawe, hanʉ Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ araagarʉkɨ mʉʉsɨ, arabhona abhaatʉ bhakɨɨrɨ nu ubhwisirirya?”BSBBSB: 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. 9IKZNaatu Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra ekerenjo abhaatʉ abhandɨ, bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhakwirora nebho bhe eheene mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Mungu na kʉbharega abhandɨ. Akabhuga,BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10IKZ“Kwarɨ na abhaatʉ bhabhɨrɨ, bhanʉ bhaatiirirɨ kuja mwihekaaru kʉsabha Mungu. Wʉmwɨ aarɨ Ʉmʉfarisaayo, nʉ ʉwʉndɨ aarɨ umurihya wa rigʉʉti.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11IKZ“Neho Ʉmʉfarisaayo akiimɨɨrɨra, akasabha Mungu igʉrʉ wa amangʼana gaazɨ umwene, ‘Mungu, nɨrabhuga ʉzʉmiryɨ, kʉ kʉbha inyɨ nɨtarɨ mʉbhɨ chɨmbu abhandɨ, abhakʉri bha amabhɨ, abhasaakuri bha abhaatʉ bhe ebhegero na abhasɨbhɨɨti, hamwɨ nʉʉrʉ chɨmbu umurihya wa rigʉʉti wuyo.BSBBSB: 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. 12IKZNiriiyima kurya manga kabhɨrɨ kunyuma, na nɨrakuhurukirya ikimweso yɨmwɨ yi ikumi ye ebhegero bhyanɨ.’BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13IKZ“Nawe umurihya wa rigʉʉti, akasaaga kore hasuuhu. Na atɨɨndirɨ nʉʉrʉ kʉnʉnga amɨɨsʉ gaazɨ mwisaarʉ, akabha ariitematema ikikubha chazɨ, arabhuga, ‘Mungu, ombeerere, inyɨ wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ!’ ”BSBBSB: 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. 14IKZAkʉmara Yɨɨsu akoongerya amangʼana gayo, “Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, umurihya wa rigʉʉti wuyo akagarʉka yɨɨka, amarirɨ kobheererwa na Mungu. Nawe ʉwʉndɨ wuyo zɨyi! Wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwigungya umwene, Mungu aramwicha. Nawe wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwiyicha, Mungu aramʉgʉnga.”BSBBSB: 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. 15IKZRusikʉ rʉmwɨ, abhiibhuri bhaarɨ bharareetera Yɨɨsu abhaana nʉʉrʉ ɨbhɨbhataarɨ, korereke abhatʉʉrɨrɨ amabhoko. Hanʉ abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhaarʉʉzɨbhu, bhakabhahaarɨra abhaatʉ bhayo.BSBBSB: 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. 16IKZNawe, Yɨɨsu akabhabhɨrɨkɨra abhaana bhayo, akabhuga, “Mʉbhatigɨ abhaana abhasuuhu bhaazɨ kwa niinyɨ, mʉtabharecha, kʉ kʉbha ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu ni‑bhwa bhanʉ bhaangɨ ncha abhaana.BSBBSB: 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. 17IKZNɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra amaheene, wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ atakwisirirya ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu nchu umwana umusuuhu, atakusikɨra zee mʉbhʉtɨmi bhuyo.”BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18IKZNeho ʉmʉkangati wʉmwɨ, akabhuurya Yɨɨsu, “Umwija ʉmʉzʉmu, nekorebhwɨ, korereke nɨgabhɨ ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano?”BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19IKZYɨɨsu akamʉgarukirya, “Kwakɨ ʉrambɨrɨkɨra ʉmʉzʉmu? Atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ ʉmʉzʉmu, kuruushaku Mungu umwene.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20IKZAwɨ, ʉgɨmɨnyirɨ bhwaheene imigirʉ ja Mungu: ‘Ʉtasebheeta, utiita, utiibha, ʉtagobha mʉʉtʉ, ʉsʉʉkɨ wuusʉ na onyoko.’”BSBBSB: You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21. 21IKZɄmʉkangati akamʉgarukirya, “Imigirʉ gɨnʉ jʉsi, nigigwatirɨ kwɨma mubhwana bhwanɨ.”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22IKZHanʉ Yɨɨsu iigwirɨ gayo, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Oreenderwa kokora ingʼana rɨmwɨ. Nuujɨ uguryɨ ebhegero bhyʉsi bhɨnʉ ʉnabhyʉ, zimpirya ziyo ʉbhahɨ abhahabhɨ, na ʉrabha ni ikibhumbɨkʉ kwa Mungu. Akʉmara uuzɨ untunɨ.”BSBBSB: On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23. 23IKZHanʉ ʉmʉkangati wuyo iigwirɨ gayo, akiitiimaata bhʉkʉngʼu, kʉ kʉbha aarɨ muniibhi.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24IKZYɨɨsu akamorora itiimaatirɨ, akabhuga, “Nɨ‑kʉkʉngʼu kumuniibhi, kusikɨra mʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu!BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25IKZNɨ‑kʉnyʉʉhu ɨngamiya kʉhɨta mwibhanga ryi isindanʉ, kʉkɨra umuniibhi kusikɨra mʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu!”BSBBSB: Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26. 26IKZAbhaatʉ bhanʉ bhiigwirɨ gayo, bhakabhuga, “Nangʉ, nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kʉsabhurwa?”BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27IKZYɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Ganʉ gatakʉtʉrɨkana kʉbhaatʉ, kwa Mungu garatʉrɨkana.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28IKZPeetero akabhʉʉrɨra Yɨɨsu, “Rora, itwɨ tʉmarirɨ kutiga ebhegero bhyɨtʉ bhyʉsi, tukutunirɨ!”BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29IKZNeho Yɨɨsu akabhuga, “Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra amaheene, ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ atigirɨ inyumba yaazɨ, ʉmʉkari waazɨ, abhahiiri bhaazɨ, abhiibhuri bhaazɨ, abhaana bhaazɨ, igʉrʉ wʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu,BSBBSB: “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30. 30IKZamaheene arasʉngʼaana maaru bhʉkʉngʼu ribhaga rya nangwɨnʉ kʉkɨra bhɨnʉ aatigirɨ. Na mʉʉsɨ yɨnʉ ikuuza, arabhona ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano.”BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31. 31IKZYɨɨsu akabhagega rusizʉ abhɨɨga bhaazɨ ikumi na bhabhɨrɨ, akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Rora, tʉraja Yɨrusarɨɨmu. Iyo, gʉʉsi ganʉ abharʉʉtɨrɨri bhaandikirɨ igʉrʉ wu Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ, garakorwa.BSBBSB: Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32. 32IKZAragwatwa na kuhirwa kʉBharuumi, bharamorega na kʉmʉtʉka, bharamutwɨra amatɨ.BSBBSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33. 33IKZBharamotema ɨmɨzariti na kumwita, nawe urusikʉ rwa katatʉ, araryʉka.”BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34. 34IKZNawe amangʼana gayo Yɨɨsu aabhabhuuriirɨ abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, bhataamɨnyirɨ enzobhooro yaku, kʉ kʉbha bhaarɨ bhabhisirwɨ, na bhataamɨnyirɨ aragambɨrakɨ.BSBBSB: But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35. 35IKZHanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ ariisemera mʉrʉbhɨri rwa Yɨriko, rusizʉ wɨ ɨnzɨra, kwarɨ nʉ ʉmʉhʉku wʉmwɨ, wʉnʉ aarɨ ikɨɨrɨ arasabha.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36. 36IKZɄmʉhʉku wuyo hanʉ iigwirɨ abhaatʉ bhaaru bharahɨta hayo, akabhuurya, “Kʉnakɨ?”BSBBSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. 37IKZBhakamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Yɨɨsu wa Nazarɨɨti arahɨta.”BSBBSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38. 38IKZRogendo rʉmwɨ, akanʉnga riraka, arabhuga, “Yɨɨsu, Umwana wʉ ʉmʉtɨmi Daudi, ondorere ɨbhɨgʉngi!”BSBBSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39. 39IKZAbhaatʉ bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhakangatirɨ, bhakamʉhaarɨra akirɨ. Nawe ewe, akoongera riraka arabhɨrɨkɨra, “Umwana wʉ ʉmʉtɨmi Daudi, ndorera ɨbhɨgʉngi!”BSBBSB: Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40. 40IKZYɨɨsu akiimɨɨrɨra, akaswaja ʉmʉhʉku wuyo areetwe kwewe. Hanʉ aahikirɨ haguhɨ, Yɨɨsu akamubhuurya,BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41. 41IKZ“Oreenda nekokorerekɨ?” Akabhuga, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, nɨrasabha nerore.”BSBBSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42. 42IKZYɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Rora! Ubhwisirirya bhwazʉ bhʉkʉhʉriryɨ.”BSBBSB: “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43. 43IKZRogendo rʉmwɨ, akarora, akatuna Yɨɨsu, arakumya Mungu. Hanʉ abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhaarʉʉzɨ gayo, bhakatanga kukumya Mungu.BSBBSB: Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
