Luka 18
1 Yilam netenti dangke kwange ki yori kabo nyirinyir ciya kwo diloti ciya cwaretai,
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 toki, “Bitine kam'nge nii bolan'nge kam'ngenwi baniki tai kwaama, takri manito yorinubek.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Nawiye kwale kam'nge inwi bitineco, wobou cinenneu, yicoki, 'Tikanaye ka ma manob kiyeb mibonin luma tiyeu.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Inkutan'nyi mani cwiti citikanyco, dila kibwiri toki mor nerece, cano mani cwatan kwaamati, takri mami mito yorak nubekti,
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 kwarub kan'nge wo nwori nawriye kwalewo kwomye, mantikameo nacifiya luma, kambo marice luwayeti kiboko minenneu.”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Dila Tee kwaama jiki, komuwa dikero nii bolangewo manki tokkeu.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Lanawo kwama mani cor nubolocemboni birombo cicnen wiyeti kume kan'nge kakuke bwini citotika? Anmabwi fiye tikalicika?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Miyikomti, comcorcinen bwimicito wulom. Dilla kambo bibweni bouweri, an kwobti bilam ke nii dor bitinen”
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Yilam neten Dankewo kange nubonin birombo ciya ki dorcireu, ki cimnob lumabeb, laci cuwekamten tankne nuboti,
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 “Nubo kan'ngumbo cin doken mor lo kwama naci kwob dilo-win bwe Faricawa, wineu inni nye dotiye.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Dila bwe Faricawa kweminti, kwodila dor dikero birombo dorcer, kwama, min buwen kang, mikebo natangne nob kwiyeb, nubo mamki cakcakeu, nubo ma burokatiyeu, kakaa namiwo yodotiye.
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Mimana kyak kiriti yob mor kume niber. Mine wineuti dorkwobberonin mordike mafiya.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Dila niwa yodiker dorertiyeu tiken kutan, ciyabo nacikun dorcedil, dila kwa cangeang cekoti titokiki, kwaama, ci bruini bwinimito, minni bwiranke.
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 Miyikombi, niwo yilaken loco fiyam cerke, kebo nawineu, cawo niwo kunderceri ciyatim yirau kico, lano niwo yiran kidor cero takeri ciyatin kumkenci.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Dila nubo bocinenti kibi beyo naci teici, kambo nob bwankacebo to yeuri cin werankci.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Dila yeecu cuoci fiye ciwiyeu, toki, “komdob bi beyo biduwartinimbo abou fiye niwiye, kom ywacire. Liyar kwaama na kalciroce.
Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 Bilinke miyikomti. canowo yobo liyar kwaamaro bwebi duwari, mani cadoti”.
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 Kan'age dur nubere kan'nge mecoki nii meranka dike yoryore”, ye ma mati nsa fiya dume mankidike? (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yeecu ciyaco, “Yebwi mucoye ni madike yoryoretiye? Nikange mani womadike yoryoretiyo nobons kwaama win cardi.
Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Mwa nyimom werfudo-mare kayaka, twaldini, kure kwii, cwerde cwerke, ne Tee mwe kan'nge Nee mwe durko”.
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
21 Di liyawo yiki, minmamwo kwarub kikwama min bwebwoyileu”.
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Kambo Yeecu nuwa nyeri, yico. Dikero win cwar kumwene. Miyem dike mucikeu kwarub, neken nubowe mancikeu, manfiya lo kwaama-ladina bou nwangmenten.”
When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 Kambo nicuwaka nuwa dikero biromberi, kan'ngum nercerobicom, wori cinni cuweka kamboken.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Kambo Yeecu tonercoro kayommeri, lantoki, “An bwai nob cuwakab nidokin liyar kwaamar.
Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Atim yilam bwarinin naa Telemeko nadoken buwak bilifarak, kan'nge ni cuweka doken liyar kwaamar.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 Nubowa nuwa keroweu nyoki, “nokino nyori we abumtiye?”
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Yeecu ciya, nike lambi kwannifireu, deker makar fiye kwaama nuyeu.”
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 La Bitru intokiki, “Nwo, nyin dubom dike nyicikeu kwarub nyin bwangtennen.”
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Yeecu nyici, Biki cwom nikan'nge nani dob locuti, kakaa wice, kaka kebcebo, kakaa Teebcebo kakaa bibiyoloceu, ker liyar kwaamar.
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
31 Kamboci mwerci kwocilombo yoberi, nyici, “Inno, biyakenti wurcalima, kwarub dikoro ci mulan'ngi dor bi bwe niner kan'nge kang nobtoman'ngeb dukumebeb atim dim.
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 Ciyar nekanco kan buboko yombo kwaamau, ci buwoco, cineco dofan'nge, citwomcinen bitom.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Ciyam malico, citwalumco, ankwenum ki kume taareu”.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Dilaciyom winwo mor dikerobirombonin, wori kerowo yuran'ngum yuran'nge fiyeciwiyeu, ci yomtenbo dikeci tokeu.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Kambo cidadom Jeriko, ri fukwa kan'nge inwo yimcun'nya nurek, kenkiniti,
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 kacinuwa kalinube cukentiyeri, lacinme nye bweitiye,
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Yeecu Banazret cuken tiye.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Dila fukmau kundir kibikwan tokkero, “Yeecu, bibwe Dauda, Cibwini mito. Dala birombo kabeu werangco, ciyicoki kumwom.
He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Dila kunten diro kibi kwan kamboken inyiki, “Bibwe Dauda cibwini mito.
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 La Yeecu tim inyici ciyaboukico cinen. Kambo fukma bou bidomer, La Yeecu meco,
Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 ye mu cwitin mamwene? “inyiki, Tee kwaama, micwitin tofiye.”
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 “Yeecu inyico, “yotoka fiyeko, bilinkemweu nirumnen.”
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Wi dangjang fiya toka, kwangteng Yeecu, duktang kwaamati. Cito nyori, lanubo kwarub caklang kwaama.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
