Luka 18
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Basi, Yesu aliwasimulia mfano kuonyesha kwamba ni lazima kusali daima bila kukata tamaa.
1Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā, ʻoku lelei ke lotu maʻuaipē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa fiu;
2Alisema: “Katika mji mmoja kulikuwa na hakimu ambaye hakuwa anamcha Mungu wala kumjali binadamu.
2ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻi he kolo ʻe taha ʻae fakamaau, naʻe ʻikai manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata.
3Katika mji huohuo, kulikuwa pia na mama mmoja mjane, ambaye alimwendea huyo hakimu mara nyingi akimwomba amtetee apate haki yake kutoka kwa adui yake.
3Pea naʻe ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti; pea haʻu ia ki ai, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakamaau au mo totongi totonu ki hoku fili.’
4Kwa muda mrefu huyo hakimu hakupenda kumtetea huyo mjane; lakini, mwishowe akajisemea: Ingawa mimi simchi Mungu wala simjali binadamu,
4Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga leva ia ki ai: kae toki fakakaukau ia, ʻo pehē , ‘ʻOku ʻikai pe te u manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata;
5lakini kwa vile huyu mjane ananisumbua, nitamtetea; la sivyo ataendelea kufika hapa, na mwisho atanichosha kabisa!”
5Ka koeʻuhi ʻi he fakafiuʻi au ʻe he fefine ni kuo mate hono husepāniti, te u fakamaauʻi ia, telia ʻi heʻene faʻa haʻu te ne fakakinaʻi au.’”
6Basi, Bwana akaendelea kusema, “Sikieni jinsi alivyosema huyo hakimu mbaya.
6Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Fanongo ki he lea ʻae fakamaau taʻeangatonu.
7Je, ndio kusema Mungu hatawatetea wale aliowachagua, ambao wanamlilia mchana na usiku? Je, atakawia kuwasikiliza?
7Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono kakai ʻoʻona kuo fili, ʻaia ʻoku tangi kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo kapau ʻe fakatuotuai ia kiate kinautolu?
8Nawaambieni atawatetea upesi. Hata hivyo, je, kutakuwako na imani duniani wakati Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuja?”
8ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fakamaau vave ʻe ia ʻakinautolu. Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, te ne ʻilo ʻae tui ʻi he fonua?”
9Halafu Yesu aliwaambia pia mfano wa wale ambao walijiona kuwa wema na kuwadharau wengine.
9Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he niʻihi naʻa nau falala kiate kinautolu kuo nau māʻoniʻoni, mo nau manukiʻi ʻae kakai kehe:
10“Watu wawili walipanda kwenda Hekaluni kusali: mmoja Mfarisayo, na mwingine mtoza ushuru.
10“Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ongo tangata ki he falelotu lahi ke lotu; ko e tokotaha ko e Fālesi, pea ko e tānaki tukuhau ʻae tokotaha.
11Huyo Mfarisayo akasimama, akasali kimoyomoyo: Ee Mungu, nakushukuru kwa vile mimi si kama watu wengine: walafi, wadanganyifu au wazinzi. Nakushukuru kwamba mimi si kama huyu mtoza ushuru.
11Naʻe tuʻu atu pe ʻae Fālesi, pea lotu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ko e kau tangata kehe, ke fakamālohi, mo taʻeangatonu, mo tono fefine, pe hangē ko e tānaki tukuhau ni.
12Nafunga mara mbili kwa juma, natoa zaka sehemu ya kumi ya pato langu.
12ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukai ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻatu ʻae tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fulipē.’
13Lakini yule mtoza ushuru, akiwa amesimama kwa mbali bila hata kuinua macho yake mbinguni, ila tu akijipiga kifua kwa huzuni, alisema: Ee Mungu, unionee huruma mimi mwenye dhambi.
13Ka naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu ʻae tānaki tukuhau, pea ʻikai faʻa hanga hake hono mata ki he langi, ka naʻe si fatafata ia, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.’
14Nawaambieni, huyu mtoza ushuru alirudi nyumbani akiwa amesamehewa. Lakini yule mwingine, sivyo. Kwa maana kila anayejikweza atashushwa, na kila anayejishusha atakwezwa.”
14ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae tangata ni ki hono fale kuo fakatonuhia ia, ka ʻikai pehē ʻae tokotaha: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ia, ʻe hiki hake ia.”
15Watu walimletea Yesu watoto wadogo ili awawekee mikono yake. Wanafunzi walipowaona, wakawazuia kwa maneno makali.
15Pea naʻa nau ʻomi foki kiate ia ʻae tamaiki iiki, koeʻuhi ke ne ala kiate kinautolu: ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, naʻa nau lolomi ʻakinautolu.
16Lakini Yesu akawaita kwake akisema: “Waacheni hao watoto waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni kwa ajili ya watu kama hawa.
16Ka naʻe ui ʻe Sisu ke nau haʻu, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku pe ʻae tamaiki iiki ke haʻu kiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻakinautolu: he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
17Nawaambieni kweli, mtu yeyote asiyeupokea Ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo, hataingia katika Ufalme huo.”
17Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hū ia ki ai.”
18Kiongozi mmoja, Myahudi, alimwuliza Yesu, “Mwalimu mwema, nifanye nini ili niweze kuupata uzima wa milele?”
18Pea toki fehuʻi ʻae matāpule ʻe taha kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā te u fai ke u hoko ai ki he moʻui taʻehili?”
19Yesu akamwambia, “Mbona waniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila Mungu peke yake.
19Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei, ʻaia ko e ʻOtua.
20Unazijua amri: Usizini; usiue; usiibe; usitoe ushahidi wa uongo; waheshimu baba yako na mama yako.”
20ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi,’ ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē.’”
21Yeye akasema, “Hayo yote nimeyazingatia tangu ujana wangu.”
21Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku siʻi.”
22Yesu aliposikia hayo akamwambia, “Unatakiwa bado kufanya kitu kimoja: uza kila ulicho nacho, wagawie maskini, na hivyo utakuwa na hazina yako mbinguni; halafu njoo unifuate.”
22Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki he ngaahi lea ni, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ke kei hala ai: fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻau, ʻo tufaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ʻae ʻene koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.”
23Lakini huyo mtu aliposikia hayo, alihuzunika sana kwa sababu alikuwa tajiri sana.
23Pea kuo fanongo ia ki ai, naʻa ne mamahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
24Yesu alipoona akihuzunika hivyo, akasema, “Jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kwa matajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu!
24Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu kuo mamahi ʻaupito ia, pea ne pehē, “ʻE faingataʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻoku koloaʻia ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25Naam, ni rahisi zaidi kwa ngamia kupita katika tundu la sindano, kuliko tajiri kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.”
25He ʻoku faingofua hake ʻae hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻae ʻOtua!
26Wale watu waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Nani basi, atakayeokolewa?”
26Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
27Yesu akajibu, “Yasiyowezekana kwa binadamu, yanawezekana kwa Mungu.”
27Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku mafai ia ʻe he ʻOtua.”
28Naye Petro akamwuliza, “Na sisi je? Tumeacha vitu vyote tukakufuata!”
28Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita, “Vakai, kuo mau liaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe.”
29Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, mtu yeyote aliyeacha nyumba au mke au kaka au wazazi au watoto kwa ajili ya Ufalme wa Mungu,
29Pea ne pehe kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata kuo liʻaki ʻe ia ai fale, pea ʻae mātuʻa, pe ko e ngaahi kāinga, pe ko e uaifi, pe ʻae fānau, koeʻuhi ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
30atapokea mengi zaidi wakati huu wa sasa, na kupokea uzima wa milele wakati ujao.”
30Ka te ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito hake ʻi he moʻui ni, pea ʻi he maama ʻe haʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.”
31Yesu aliwachukua kando wale kumi na wawili, akawaambia, “Sikilizeni! Tunakwenda Yerusalemu na huko kila kitu kilichoandikwa na manabii kuhusu Mwana wa Mtu kitakamilishwa.
31¶ Pea ne omi ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻe he kau palōfita.
32Kwa maana atakabidhiwa kwa watu wa mataifa nao watamtendea vibaya na kumtemea mate.
32He koeʻuhi ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile, pea ʻe manukiʻi ia, mo fai meʻa kovi kiate ia, mo ʻaʻanu ki ai:
33Watampiga mijeledi, watamuua; lakini siku ya tatu atafufuka.”
33Pea te nau kauʻimaea mo tāmateʻi ia: pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toetuʻu ia.”
34Lakini wao hawakuelewa hata kidogo jambo hilo; walikuwa wamefichwa maana ya maneno hayo, na hawakutambua yaliyosemwa.
34Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; pea naʻe puli ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ni, ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo lea ʻaki.
35Wakati Yesu alipokaribia Yeriko, kulikuwa na mtu mmoja kipofu ameketi njiani akiomba.
35¶ Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ofi atu ki Seliko, naʻe nofo ʻi he veʻehala ʻae tangata kui ʻo kole:
36Aliposikia umati wa watu ukipita aliuliza, “Kuna nini?”
36Pea fanongo ia ki he ʻalu ange ʻae fononga, pea fehuʻi ia ki hono ʻuhinga.
37Wakamwambia, “Yesu wa Nazareti anapita.”
37Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti” ʻoku ʻalu ange.
38Naye akapaza sauti akisema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
38Pea kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
39Wale watu waliotangulia wakamkemea wakimwambia anyamaze; lakini yeye akazidi kupaza sauti: “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie;”
39Pea ko kinautolu naʻe muʻomuʻa naʻa nau lolomi ia, ke tuku ʻene longoaʻa: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene kalanga, “Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
40Yesu alisimama, akaamuru wamlete mbele yake. Yule kipofu alipofika karibu, Yesu akamwuliza,
40Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fekau ke ʻomi ia kiate ia: pea kuo ʻunu mai ia ʻo ofi, pea ne fehuʻi ange kiate ia,
41“Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Naye akamjibu, “Bwana, naomba nipate kuona tena.”
41ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā ho loto ke u fai kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā hoku mata.”
42Yesu akamwambia, “Ona! Imani yako imekuponya.”
42Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ke ʻā ho mata: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
43Na mara yule aliyekuwa kipofu akapata kuona, akamfuata Yesu akimtukuza Mungu. Watu wote walipoona hayo, wakamsifu Mungu.
43Pea ʻā fakafokifā pe ia, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea fakamālō ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
