BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
PUU
Akebatsingule rye: «Vamabe nzonzi va musyengi, asamadumange Nzambi na asamaghobisaange mutu wotsu.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
PUU
Mune musyengi eni, wumabe mukwili wumawendaange kadi yilumbu ombu nzonzi eni mu uyemutsotsaange rye: “Tabulili bunzonzi va ghari menu na bavinitsi bami.”

BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
PUU
Vane kale, amalebusaange. Anokelonge, amavose rye: “Nénane ngédumi Nzambi na ngeghobisi mutu,
BSB

For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
PUU
mu yiswebiri yi mukwili ewune, nyumutabulile bunzonzi mumbari akébwéyikomise muru.”»
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
PUU
Fumu akebwévose rye: «Ghulwatyanu adi nzonzi djibive amavose!
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
PUU
Tambusu na Nzambi, ovayile bunzonzi mu batu bandi abemulendi mu dusambu nyangu na mukolu! Tsiri nane? Ngenze, aghotsikedene mu ubawamuse.
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
PUU
Menu, nyidutsinguli, Nzambi obatabulile bunzonzi mbangu-mbangu. Tumbe ave Mwane Mutu oruyile, oyirasunu mwa dikabu di batu bavu na yitu va butambe?»
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
PUU
Djesu akemwébuke nongu ombu batu abekélabe bwena basungeme na belenzi basusu, akevose rye:
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
PUU
«Babaale babedji bamakote o ghari ndaghu Nzambi mu uyésambile. Wumosi amabe muFarisi, awune mubolitsi lepu.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
PUU
MuFarisi, ave amasambililaange diteli, akebwaghaange mitsoki rye: “Tate Nzambi, nyiwughabusili diboti mumbari ngaa nane batu bamosi bavu badayi, bafutsi, bimbembu, vo nane mubolitsi éwuwu wu lepu.
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
PUU
Mu uwughobise, nyiwarili nzale nyongu bedji mu tsone, nyiwuveyingi yimosi mu dighumi yi maboti mami motsu.”
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
PUU
Kaboghu mubolitsi lepu anobe diteli, va mughule, asamarungusaange ne unangule misu na djulu, tumbe akedumange tulu andi na akevosaange rye: “Tate Nzambi ndabi ngebe muvayitsi mabi nane menu.”»
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
PUU
Djesu akemwévose rye: «Nine, nyidutsinguli, yotsu mubolitsi lepu eghabuyili o ndaghu andi, Nzambi amamutande nomusungighe, wuvenguse muFarisi.
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
PUU
Batu wandi bakebeghange baane bakali ombu Djesu mumbari akebasakighaange makake. Badukitsi bandi, banolabe nane, bakenyangilaange batu beni.
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
PUU
Djesu amanengile baane beni va mughule andi na akevose bwena: «Silanu baane urughe ombu ami na duyabaghandise, mumbari Bukaghe bu Nzambi, budji mu batu ababaghunu nowu.
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
PUU
Dingenze nyidutsinguli, wotsu aghodile Bukaghe bu Nzambi nane mwane ngebi, aghokote wune “vyaa”.»
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
PUU
Yivunde yimosi yi baSwife, yike wivule Djesu rye: «Mulonzi wuboti, tsyeni nyuvayile mu udile monyu mutubu?»
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
PUU
Djesu akemuwaghule rye: «Dibandu yi windengilili “Muboti”? Vagha mutu aboti, wuvengutse Nzambi pinze.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20

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
PUU
Dibaale dyeni, anowulu mambu meni, aketsore manyuru, mumbari amabe yisine yineni.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
PUU
Djesu, anomulabe yiri amatsore manyuru, akevose rye: «Divure ombu djowu abavu na maboti mapwele mu ukote o Bukaghe bu Nzambi!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
PUU
Nine, disavure ombu tsungu mu uvyoyile va dighole di tsongi; diweru dineni ombu yisine mu ukote mu Bukaghe bu Nzambi.»

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.”
