NWW
Mbole Yesu kakiapegha ahundwa bhake ndambulo ngati kabhahunde kukita yinguakwilikiha kuyupa Chapanga kyanga kulumuka mwoyo.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
NWW
Kakiaghombela, “Mukitami kimo kakibhegha nndumula nongwa ywanga kuntundamila Chapanga ebu kughayihwa gha bhandu.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
NWW
Mukitami akyo akyo kakibhegha nndala nnekwa yumo ywene pipipi kakinhikila na kunnyupa, ‘Ketekete, ghumbeghe shaliya yangu kubhuka kwa nmyanja ghwangu.’
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
NWW
Kya manjubha matangalo yula nndumula nongwa ywangatundamilagha kakilema kuntangatila aywo nndala nnekwa. Peni kuuhiko kakilighombela mumwoyo ghwake, ‘Hata handa nenga nangantundamila Chapanga ebu kughayihwa gha bhandu,
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
NWW
peni kiyaha ayu nndala nnekwa kangung'aha, ndanpegha shaliya yake ili kakotoke kunhechuha kwakya kunhikila pipipi!’ ”
BSB
BSB:
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6
NWW
Hinu Bambo kakighendelela kulongela, “Nnyihwe kyakalongilite aywo nndumula nongwa ntenda ulemwa.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
NWW
Bhuli, Chapanga kaapegha ng'obhe shaliya bhakaahaghulite bhaanlilila pamuhi na pakilo? Bhuli, katakabhalila kuatendela gha maha?
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
NWW
Ninguaghombela, Chapanga kaapegha shaliya kya kulopokeha. Peni bhuli, Mwana ghwa Mundu pakapala kuhika mu nnima kataabona bhandu bhaanhyubhalila?”
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
NWW
Yesu kakiaghombela ndambulo ayi kwa bhala bhaalidumbite kukita bhombe ndo bhangughatughila ghala ghakaapala Chapanga na kuayuyuha bhangi.
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
NWW
“Bhandu abhili bhakighenda Kukitutubhi kya Chapanga kuyupa, yumo kakibha Nfalisayo na yungi nsumula sumu.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
NWW
Yula nfalisayo kakiyima ghweka chake kakiyupa abhu, ‘Chapanga, ningughulumba kiyaha nenga megha handa bhandu bhangi ng'obhe bhangahyubhalila, na apoka, na alemwa, na atyahe ebhu handa ayu nsumula sumu.
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
NWW
Nenga ningulikunga pabhili kwa lijuma, ningubhuha lifungu lya mbinda mabhoko yimo ya motelo yangu.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
NWW
Peni yula nsumula sumu kakiyima kya kutali, kyangayinula kibhungi kyake kulolekeha kunani kwa Chapanga, ngati kakighakamula mabhoko ghake na kuhokamila pakakukulika kunu pakilongela, ‘Chapanga ghumonele lipyanda, nenga nunmeghite na ulemwa.’
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
NWW
Ninguaghombela, yula nsumula sumu kakibhuya ukaya pakalekekehwa ulemwa ghwake, ngati ng'obhe yula nfalisayo ywakalikwehite kwa Chapanga. Kiyaha ywohele ywakalihwachilite kukita nkulu katahuluhwa na ywohele ywakalihuluha katakwehwa.”
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
NWW
Linjubha limu amoo bhandu bhakinnyeghela Yesu bhana adokwa ngati kabhayabhike hibhoko hyake ili kakaanonele. Ahundwa bhake paabhonite habhu bhakialakalila bhala bhandu.
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Peni Yesu kakiakema bhala bhana ahike kwa ywombe, kakilongela, “Mualeke bhana adokwa anhikile kwa nenga, hangi nkotoke kuakanikiha, kiyaha Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga ghubhegha ghwa bhandu abheghite handa abha bhana.
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
NWW
Kulyaghila nunguaghombela, ywohele ywa nga kughukingama Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga handa mwana nndokwa, katayingila ng'obhe mughubhutwa aghwo.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
NWW
Kilongohi yumo kakinkonya Yesu, “Nhunda ghwa maha, ndende niki ngati nighumokole ubhumi ghwa manjubha ghoha kyanga uhiko?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
NWW
Yesu kakinnyanga, “Kyabhuli ghungunngema ghwa maha? Kahone mundu ghwa maha ngati nga Chapanga ghweka chake.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
NWW
Ghungughamanya malaghilo gha Musa, ‘Utyahe kata, Kukoma kata, kuyibha kata, unyimiho ghwa uhwangi kata, ghubhayitikile tate ghwako na ma ghwako.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Ywombe kakiyanga, “Malaghilo agha ghoha nighakamula tangu pammbeghite kakombo.”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
NWW
Yesu pakayihwite agha kakinng'ombela, “Ghupelelwa nnando ghumo. Ghughende ghukahemengane hyoha ghuhibheghite naywo na ghubhapeghe ngalabha ahyo bhandu kapukwa, kya kutenda habho ndo ghwabhegha na utopelo ntangalo kunani kwa Chapanga, mbole ghuhike na ghundughile.”
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Pakayihwite lilagho alyo kakihyongoloka muno kiyaha kakibhegha na utopelo ntangalo.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
NWW
Yesu pakammonite kanguhyongoloka habhu na kakilongela, “Nnole kya bhuli yabhegha kulimba kwa bhanautopelo kuyingila Mughubhutwa ghwa Chapanga!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
NWW
Kulyaghila yabhegha yelebhu kwa nnyama ywakakemitwe ngamia kuyingila mulilanga lya sasia, chepa kwa bhanautopelo kuyingila mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga.”
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Bhandu paannyihwite malagho agha bhakinkonya, “Handa yilimba naha, ndo ywoki aywo ywakahotola kulopoka?”
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
NWW
Yesu kakiayanga, “Gha nga kuhotoleka kwa anabhandu kwa Chapanga ghanguhotoleka.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
NWW
Ndo Petili kakilongela, “Nnole tughaleka ghoha ghatubheghite nagho na tughutughila ghwenga!”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29
NWW
Yesu kakiyanga, “Kulyaghila nunguaghombela, mundu ywakalekite lubhagha lwake, ebu nnhumbu ghwake ebu alongo bhake, ebu tate na ma ghwake ebu bhana bhake kwa kya Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga
BSB
BSB:
“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
NWW
kaakingamwa matangalo kupitingana ahyo munnima aghu na kuuhiko katakamuhwa ubhumi ghwa manjubha ghoha.”
BSB
BSB:
will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31
NWW
Yesu kakiatola bhala ahundwa bhake mbinda mabhoko yimo na abhili kya kighweka na kakiaghombela, “Nnyihwe, tungughenda ku Yelusalemu na hyoha hityekitwe na ambuye bha Chapanga kwa kya Mwana ghwa Mundu hyaabwitukila.
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Kiyaha kaagheghwa na kukamulwa na bhandu bhaabheghite ng'obhe Ayahudi, nabho bhatantendela mahakataho na bhatanhunila mata.
BSB
BSB:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33
NWW
Bhatantuta kwa ndomondo na bhatankoma na mu linjubha lya ndatu katahyuka.”
BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
NWW
Ahundwa bhake bhakighamanya ng'obhe malagho agho, kiyaha fwambulo yake yikihihwa kwa bhombe, nabho bhakimanya ng'obhe kyakalongilite Yesu.
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Yesu pakabheghite kanguheghelela ku nnima ghwa Yeliko, mundu yumu ywangabhona kakibhegha katama mu bhwegha ya njila paakiyupa utangwo.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36
NWW
Mundu ywangabhona aywo pakayihwite mayobhe gha lumati lwa bhandu palukinda, kakikonya, “Kubhegha na niki?”
BSB
BSB:
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37
NWW
Bhala bhandu bhakinnyanga, “Yesu ghwa Nasaleti kangupita.”
BSB
BSB:
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38
NWW
Yula mundu ywangabhona kakikweha lilobhe pakilongela, “Yesu! Mwana ghwa Daudi, ghumonele luhungu!”
BSB
BSB:
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39
NWW
Bhala bha abheghite ku ulongolo bhakinlakalila bhakinng'obhela kanyamale. Peni mwene kakighendelela kukweha lilobhe “Mwana ghwa Daudi, ghumonele luhungu!”
BSB
BSB:
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
NWW
Yesu kakiyima na kakikwilikiha bhannyeghe mundu aywo kwa mwene. Pakabheghite ugheghela, Yesu kakinkonya,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41
NWW
“Ghungupala nighutendele niki?” Ywombe kakiyanga, “Bambo, ningupala kubhona.”
BSB
BSB:
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42
NWW
Yesu kakinng'ombela, “Ghubhone, kuhyubhalila kwako kughulopoha.”
BSB
BSB:
“Receive your sight!”
Jesus replied.
“Your faith has healed you.”
43

Kamu mundu yula kakibhona lisaa lila lila, na kakinntughila Yesu, kunu pakintikila Chapanga. Bhandu bhoha paabhonite mihalo ayi, nabho bhakintikila Chapanga.
