Mále Yeézu yaábachwéela omugani, abone kubeéleka nka nikwo, ni lwaampaka kumuneémbelela Múungu buchiile no obutáfwa omuganya.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
ZIN
Yaábagaambila, “Omu muzihwa gúmo, hakaba halimo omulamuzi oómo. Omulamuzi ogwo, akaba atakutíina Múungu, nali kumusaaswa omuuntu.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
ZIN
Omu muzihwa ogwo, akaba alimo omukázi oómo akaambwiile. Óogu mukázi akaba amuzeendaho ogwo mulamuzi buli ntúlo ha kumuneémbelela, kwo kumugaambila, ‘Niinsaba oómpe obuteéka ha bwaanze no omubisa waanze.’
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
ZIN
“Aha mwáanya mula, ogwo mulamuzi akáanga kumuhweela omukázi akaambwiile. Náho ha muheleeluko, yeégaambila omu muganya gwoómwe, ‘Íinye tiínkumutíina Múungu, nali tiínkubeétaho abaantu.
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
ZIN
Náho, habwo kuba ogu mukázi akaambwiile naanyagalaza yagalaza bwooli, óobu niinkola akolelwe ebimukwiile, kuba ataákuzeendelela kuúndemesa aha kuunyizaho obutóosa!’ ”
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
ZIN
Káandi, Omukáma yaágaamba, “Muhuliilíze kuzima amagaambo go ogwo mulamuzi omuheni!
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
ZIN
Ngási, nikwo kugaamba Múungu, talibahweela abo abi yaatoólize, abo abalikumuhamukila nyemisana no omu chilo? Ngási, naayilililwa kubahuliiliza?
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
ZIN
Niimbagaambila naabahwéela bwaangu. Náho, kaándiíza íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu, ngási, mazima ndaásaanga omu nsi bachiliho abaantu abeene okwiikiliza?”
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
ZIN
Káandi, Yeézu yaábachwéela omugani abaantu abáandi, áabo bakeebona nkokwo nibo abagololoke omu méeso ga Múungu, no kubagaya abáandi. Yaágaamba,
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
ZIN
“Hakaba heenaho abaantu bábili, áabo bakahanama kuzeenda omu nzu ya Múungu ha kumusaba. Oómo akaba ali Omufarisayo, no oóndi akaba ali omuhaámbya.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
ZIN
Ogwo Mufarisayo yaáyemeelela, kunu naamusaba omu muganya, ‘Íiwe Múungu, niinkusiima habwo kuba íinye tiíndi nka abaantu abáandi: abanyagiilizi, abatéezi be ebisuba, nali abasiihani. Niinkusiima nkokwo íinye tiíndi nko ogu muhaámbya!
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
ZIN
Mba ne echisiibo entúlo ibili omu bwooyo, niinkusoholeza ezáaka, eémo omuli ikúmi kuluga omu mabónwa gaanze góona.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
ZIN
“Náho ogwo omuhaámbya, yaásigala haláho, káche. Na taleénzile no óobu kwiinamula améeso goómwe omu igulu, náho yaaba naayeteéla aha kalezi koómwe aha ntíimba, aha kugaamba, ‘Múungu, onganyile íinye owe ebiheno!’
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
ZIN
Niimbagaambila nkokwo, ogwo omuhaámbya akasuba omúka aganyiilwe na Múungu. Náho ogwo oóndi, mmahi! Habwe ensoonga, buli muuntu óogwo alikweékuza, alyaácheéshibwa. Na buli muuntu óogwo alikweecheesha, naakuzibwa.”
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
ZIN
Obuchilo obúundi, abaantu bakaba nibamuleetela Yeézu nóobu abáana báabo abato, abone kubateelaho engalo no kubáfuuha. Obuchilo abaheémba boómwe baabweene bátyo, baábaanza kubaángila abaantu abo, ha magaambo go kubachaáhukila.
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
ZIN
Náho, Yeézu yaábéeta hali weényini abáana abo, aha kugaamba, “Mubaleke abáana abato beéze hali íinye, mutabazibila kuunyizaho! Manya obukáma bwa Múungu no bwa abaantu abo kwiingana nka abáana aba abato.
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
ZIN
Mazima butúnu niimbagaambila, omuuntu weéna wéena óogwo atakwiikiliza obukáma bwa Múungu nko omwaana muto, ogwo alaásíingwa kubutaahamo.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
ZIN
Omutégeki oómo, akamubúuza Yeézu, “Mweégesa omweésigwa, nkole chiíha, mbone kuhuungula obulami bwo obucha no obuchiile?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
ZIN
Yeézu yaámugaambila, “Ha bwaáchi noogaámba íinye ndi omweésigwa? Tihaliho omuuntu óogwo ali omweésigwa, náho Múungu weénka!
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
ZIN
Íiwe, noobimanya kuzima ebilagilo bya Múungu: ‘Otaákuba omusaambani, otaákwiita, otaákwiiba, otaákusiinza ebisuba, obakúze iíso na nyoko.’”
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
ZIN
Omutégeki yaámusubiza, “Ebilagilo ebi byóona, mbikoondoókiile kulugilila aha buto bwaanze.”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
ZIN
Obuchilo Yeézu yaábihuliile ebyo, yaámugaambila, “Noobulabulilwa echigaambo echíindi chimo choónka. Ebiintu byóona éebyo oyinabyo, zeénda oze kubiguza, empilya ezo obáhe abahabi, aho noóba waázila ensabo yaawe omu igulu. Mále oyize, onkulaatile.”
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
ZIN
Ogwo mutégeki, obuchilo yaábihuliile ebyo, akazululukilwa bwooli, habwo kuba akaba ali omuhíte bwooli.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
ZIN
Obuchilo Yeézu yaámubona naazululukilwa aátyo, akagaamba, “Chilyáaba chigumile bwooli aha bahíte kuzamo omu bukáma bwa Múungu!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
ZIN
Habwo kuba, chihuhuukile bwooli ha ntwaangabuleende kuhiíngula omu kahulu ko olusíinge, kusaaga omuhíte kuza omu bukáma bwa Múungu!”
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
ZIN
Abaantu abo kábaahuliile ago, baágaamba, “Óobu noóha mbwéenu ogwo yaakaáhicha kuchuúngulwa?”
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
ZIN
Yeézu yaábagaambila, “Amagaambo áago agatakwiíle omu baantu, hali Múungu gakwiíle.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
ZIN
Aho, Peétero yaámugaambila Yeézu, “Léeba íichwe, twaálekile ebiintu byéetu byóona, twaákukulaatila íiwe no kuba abaheémba baawe!”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29
ZIN
Yeézu yaágaamba, “Mazima butúnu niimbagaambila nkokwo, buli muuntu óogwo alekile éenzu yoómwe, nali mukázi woómwe, nali badugu boómwe, nali abazéele boómwe, nali abáana boómwe, habwo obukáma bwa Múungu,
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
ZIN
amazima naayanaánkula bíinzi bwooli kuchila éebyo yaálekile, kaálikuba acháali achili omu nsi ezi. Káandi, okwo omu igulu, alaábona obulami bwo obucha no obuchiile.”
BSB
BSB:

31
ZIN
Mala Yeézu yaábatwáala abaheémba boómwe ikúmi na bábili aha lubazu, yaábagaambila, “Muhuliilíze! Nituhanama kuzeenda Yeruzaléemu. Na aho, góona áago ababáasi baáyaandikile ha bwaánze íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu, nigahikiílizwa.
BSB
BSB:

Káandi, nibaankóna enkóba no kuunyita, náho echilo cha kásatu, ndyaázooka.”
BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
ZIN
Amagaambo áago Yeézu yaábagaambiile abaheémba boómwe, tibalagamanyile. Habwo kuba ensoonga ya amagaambo ago ekaba eselekilwe hali boónyini. Tibalamanyile naahoóyela chiíha.
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
ZIN
