1. 1LAGYéesu akavavaɨra vapooji vaachwe lusímo ʉlʉ yoovakiindya vatuube kʉndooloomba bila yookatala.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2. 2LAGAkavasea, “Múujii ʉmwɨ, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉlamuli ʉmwɨ. Ʉhʉ mʉlamuli, sɨ amoofáa Mʉlʉʉngʉ tʉkʉ, baa kei, sɨ avanyemyáa vaantʉ tʉkʉ.BSBBSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3. 3LAGNa múujii ʉwo, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉlala ʉmwɨ ˆatamanyáa na kwaachwe yoomʉloomba, ‘Kalaama nooloomba ʉlamʉle kɨloongi chaanɨ na mʉvɨ waanɨ sa mpate kɨra Miiro ˆyaruma.’BSBBSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4. 4LAGKwa sikʉ ˆjiri foo ʉra mʉlamuli ajáa asiita kʉmwaambirirya. Maa kaa, sikʉ ɨmwɨ akiisea yeemweene, ‘Baa neembe sɨ nɨmoófaa Mʉlʉʉngʉ na baa neembe sɨ nɨvanyémyaa vaantʉ,BSBBSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5. 5LAGsa viintʉ ʉhʉ mʉlala yookuunjuuwa mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ, lamʉla ndɨrɨ kɨloongi chaachwe, apate kɨra ˆkɨmʉtéire sa areke kʉʉnkatarya.’”BSBBSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6. 6LAGAho, Mweenevyoosi akavasea, “Ikiindyi fuma kwa ʉhʉ mʉlamuli sɨ ˆarɨ mʉwoloki.BSBBSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7. 7LAGEri, Mʉlʉʉngʉ sɨ arɨ vaheera vira ˆvivatéire vaantʉ ˆavasaawʉla vara ˆvoomʉloomba uchikʉ na muusi tʉkʉ wʉʉ?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. 8LAGNɨ kʉvawyɨɨra niise, Mʉlʉʉngʉ kʉvaheera arɨ chaangʉ kɨra ˆkɨvatéire. Maa kaa, Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ ˆarɨ hɨndʉka na aha weerwii, shaana arɨ vaantʉ ˆvamuruma wʉʉ?”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. 9LAGYéesu akavawyɨɨra kwa lusímo vaantʉ ˆveene viiyonáa voovo nɨ vawoloki na vavachwijáa matɨ vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ.BSBBSB: To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10. 10LAGAkavasea, “Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, vaantʉ vavɨrɨ vajáa vatamanya na Kaayii Njija ya Ijʉva noo mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Ʉmwɨ nɨ Mʉfarisáayo ajáa na wɨɨngɨ, mʉsaankanʼyi kóodi.BSBBSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. 11LAGɄra Mʉfarisáayo akɨɨma yeemweene, maa akaanda mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ yoosea, ‘Ee Mʉlʉʉngʉ, nakʉdʉ́ʉmbaa sa nɨɨnɨ sɨ ndɨrɨ ja vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ tʉkʉ, vakumuriryi, sɨ ˆvarɨ vawoloki tʉkʉ, ˆvayéendaa na vaki va vaantʉ, baa kei sɨ ndɨrɨ ja ʉhʉ mʉsaankanʼyi kóodi tʉkʉ.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. 12LAGNɨɨnɨ kwa júma ɨmwɨ niirékyaa kurya kavɨrɨ. Kei, natóolaa ilʉʉndʉ rɨmwɨ ra kɨra malʉʉndʉ ikimi ra viintʉ vyaanɨ.’BSBBSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13. 13LAGMaa kaa, ʉra mʉsaankanʼyi kóodi akɨɨma kʉlɨ, sɨ asaaka baa kwiinʉla miiso yaachwe na kurumwii tʉkʉ. Yeeye, akiivaavaa kɨpeembe kʉnʉ yookaavwa nɨ mʉtɨma yoosea, ‘Ee Mʉlʉʉngʉ nookʉloomba wʉʉnyonere mbavariri, nɨɨnɨ ndɨrɨ mʉvɨ!’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. 14LAGNɨ kʉvawyɨɨra niise, ʉhʉ mʉsaankanʼyi kóodi, ahɨndʉka na kaayii kwaachwe kʉnʉ avárirwe nɨ mʉwoloki, maa kaa, kwa ʉra Mʉfarisáayo sɨ jeyyo tʉkʉ. Sa kɨra mʉʉntʉ ˆiiyámbukyaa na mweeri, kiimiwa arɨ, na ʉra ˆiikíimyaa na ɨsɨ, kaambukiwa arɨ.”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. 15LAGHaaha vaantʉ vamʉreteráa Yéesu vasinga vaduudi sa avavɨkɨre mɨkono. Vapooji vaachwe ˆvakoone jeyyo, maa vakavaamirirya.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. 16LAGMaa kaa, Yéesu akavaanɨrɨra vara vasinga, akavasea, “Vareki vasinga vaduudi vʉʉje na kʉrɨ nɨɨnɨ, karɨ mʉvakɨtɨre tʉkʉ! Sa Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ nɨ sa vaantʉ ˆvarɨ ja vasinga ava.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. 17LAGKɨmaarɨ noovawyɨɨra, yoyoosi ʉra sɨ ˆarɨ kʉʉhokera Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ ja musinga muduudi, sɨ arɨ kʉʉyɨngɨra vii kaa tʉkʉ.”BSBBSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18. 18LAGAho, mʉlongooli ʉmwɨ akamuurya Yéesu, “Mukiindya mʉʉja, che ndɨrɨ bweeyya mpokere nkaasʉ ya sikʉ ˆjisiina ʉhero?”BSBBSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19. 19LAGYéesu akamʉsea, “Sa che wookʉʉnyanɨrɨra mʉʉja? Kusiina mʉʉja tʉkʉ, mʉʉja nɨ Mʉlʉʉngʉ yeemweene vii.BSBBSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20. 20LAGɄmányire ndairiri ja Mʉlʉʉngʉ wʉʉ? ‘Karɨ ʉyéendaa na muki wa mʉʉntʉ tʉkʉ, karɨ wʉʉ́laa tʉkʉ, karɨ wiívaa tʉkʉ, karɨ ʉlóngowereryaa mʉʉntʉ tʉkʉ, na ʉvanyemye vala íyo na taáta waanyu.’”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. 21LAGNe akasea, “Ayo yoosi nayakwaatya keende usinga waanɨ.”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22. 22LAGYéesu ˆakateere jei, akamʉsea, “Kɨmwaarɨ kɨɨntʉ kimudu vii sɨ ˆʉnabweeyya. Tamanya, ʉkavae iyoombe máari joosi ˆʉrɨ nojo, na mpía ˆʉrɨ turya, ʉvaheere vakɨva. Jeyyo, turya ʉrɨ máari ya kɨkomi ya mberii kurumwii. Aho, yeenda, wuuntuube.”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. 23LAGɄra mʉʉntʉ ˆakateere ayo, akiirya mʉtɨma maatʉkʉ vii, sa yeeye nɨ musúngaati maatʉkʉ vii ajáa.BSBBSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24. 24LAGYéesu akamoona ʉra mʉʉntʉ iíriirye mʉtɨma, maa akasea, “Kʉva viri vyafafa maatʉkʉ vii kwa musúngaati kwɨɨngɨra Ʉtemii wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ!BSBBSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25. 25LAGKɨkomi, nɨ vyaangʉ ngamɨ́a kʉtweera na ihengerii ra sinkeni, kʉlookya musúngaati kwɨɨngɨra na Ʉtemii wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ!”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. 26LAGVaantʉ vara ˆvateera masáare aya vakasea, “Nɨ ani de arɨ daha lamuririwa?”BSBBSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27. 27LAGYéesu akavasea, “Yara sɨ ˆyadáhɨkaa kwa vaantʉ, kwa Mʉlʉʉngʉ yadáhɨkaa.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28. 28LAGPeéteri akamʉsea, “Laanga! Suusu tareka vyoosi ˆtʉjáa novyo tʉkakutuuba weewe!”BSBBSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29. 29LAGYéesu akamʉsea, “Kɨmaarɨ noovawyɨɨra, mʉʉntʉ yoyoosi ʉra ˆareka nyuumba yaachwe, au mʉdala waachwe, au vandʉʉ vaachwe, au vala íyo na taáta, au vaana vaachwe sa Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ,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. 30LAGʉwo hokera arɨ ˆviri foo mpɨɨndɨ iji kʉlookya vira ˆareka. Na weerʉ ˆyookʉʉja, hokera arɨ nkaasʉ ya sikʉ ˆjisiina ʉhero.”BSBBSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31. 31LAGAho, Yéesu akavasʉmʉla vapooji vaachwe ikimi na vavɨrɨ na ivarwii, maa akavasea, “Haaha nɨ kwaambʉka tiise na Yerusaléemu. Masáare yoosi ˆmeene yaandɨkwa nɨ valáali na mʉtwe sa Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ, kiimana yarɨ.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. 32LAGYeeye vɨɨkwa arɨ mɨkonwii ya vaantʉ sɨ ˆvarɨ Vayahúudi. Aho, muchwa varɨ matɨ, mʉtʉkɨra varɨ na kʉmʉchwɨɨra varɨ matɨ.BSBBSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33. 33LAGKei kʉmʉvaa varɨ na mɨjeléedi na kʉmʉʉlaa varɨ na sikʉ ya katatʉ fʉfʉka arɨ.”BSBBSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34. 34LAGMaa kaa, vapooji vaachwe sɨ vataanga ʉvariyuli wa masáare aya tʉkʉ, sa ʉvariyuli waachwe ʉjáa wiivisa kʉrɨ voovo. Sɨ vataanga nɨ che alʉʉsáa tʉkʉ.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. 35LAGYéesu ˆakasengerere múuji wa Yerɨ́ɨko, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉhoku ʉmwɨ ˆaloombáa iíkyɨɨre heehi na njɨra.BSBBSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36. 36LAGɄwo mʉhoku ˆakateere mpuka ya vaantʉ voolooka, akuurya, “Nɨ che kwatɨɨte?”BSBBSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. 37LAGVakamʉsea, “Yéesu wa Nasaréeti yoolooka.”BSBBSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38. 38LAGAho, akatʉla isóso yoosea, “Ee Yéesu, Sha Daúdi, naanga na riiso ra wʉʉja!”BSBBSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39. 39LAGVaantʉ vara ˆvajáa valóngwɨɨre mbere ya Yéesu vakaanda kʉmʉdalavya akirinye. Maa kaa, yeeye akadoomererya kʉmwaanɨrɨra, “Ee Sha Daúdi, naanga na riiso ra wʉʉja Aaɨ!”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. 40LAGYéesu akɨɨma, maa akavalairirya vamʉreete na kwaachwe. Ʉra mʉhoku ˆakaseese, maa Yéesu akamuurya,BSBBSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41. 41LAG“Che woosaaka nɨkʉbweeyyiirye?” Ne akasea, “Ee Mweenevyoosi, noosaaka noone!”BSBBSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42. 42LAGAho, Yéesu akamʉsea, “Haaha ona kaa! Kuruma kwaako kwakʉhóniirye.”BSBBSB: “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43. 43LAGHahara akaanda koona kei. Akamutuuba Yéesu kʉnʉ yoomʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Na vaantʉ voosi ˆvakoone ayo, vakamʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ.BSBBSB: Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
