Lukas 18
1 Eta erran ciecen comparationebat-ere fin hunetaracotz ecen bethi othoitz eguin behar dela, enoyatu gabe:
Jesus told them this story to encourage them to pray at all times, and not to become discouraged.
2 Cioela, Iugebat cen hiri batetan Iaincoaren beldur etzenic, eta nehorçaz conturic eguiten etzuenic:
“Once there was a judge in this particular town who didn't respect God or care about anyone,” Jesus explained.
3 Eta cen hiri hartan emazte alhargumbat, eta ethor cedin harengana, cioela, Eguidac iustitia neure partida contrastaz.
“In the same town lived a widow who time and again went to the judge, saying, ‘Give me justice in the case against my enemy!’
4 Eta harc etzuen deus eguin nahi vkan dembora lucez: baina guero erran ceçan bere baithan, Iaincoaren beldur ezpanaiz-ere eta nehorçaz conturic ez eguitenagatic:
For a while he didn't want to do anything about it, but eventually he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't respect God or care about anyone,
5 Badaric-ere ceren fascheria emaiten baitraut alhargun hunec, iustitia eguinen draucat, finean-ere ethorriz buruä hauts eztieçadan.
this widow is so annoying I'll make sure she receives justice. Then she won't wear me out by her coming to see me so often.’
6 Eta dio Iaunac, Ençuçue cer iuge gaichto harc erraiten duen:
Listen to what even an unjust judge decided,” said the Lord.
7 Bada Iaincoac eztraue iustitia eguinen bere elegitu gau eta egun hari oihuz dagozcaney, hayén alde asserretzera luçatzen badu-ere?
“Don't you think that God will make sure his chosen people receive justice, those who cry out to him day and night? Do you think he will make them wait?
8 Erraiten drauçuet, ecen hayén mendequioa eguinen duela sarri. Baina guiçonaren Semea dathorrenean, eridenen othe du federic lurrean?
No, I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find people on earth who trust in him?”
9 Eta erran ciecén bere buruètan iusto ciradela fida ciraden batzuey, eta berceac deus-ere estimatzen etzituzteney, comparatione haur:
He also told this story about those who are so sure that they are living right, and who put everybody else down.
10 Bi guiçon igan içan ciraden templera othoitz eguitera, bata Phariseu eta bercea publicano:
“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 Phariseuac cegoela gauça hauçaz bere baithan othoitz eguiten çuen, Iaincoá, esquerrac emaiten drauzquiat ceren ezpainaiz berce guiçon harrapariac, iniustoac, adulteroac beçala: edo publicano haur beçala-ere.
The Pharisee stood up and prayed to himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—cheats, criminals, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Astean biguetan eguiten diat barur, posseditzen ditudan gauça guçietaric hamarrenac emaiten citiát.
I fast twice a week, and I pay tithe on my income.’
13 Eta publicanoac vrrun cegoela, etzituen are beguiac-ere cerurat altchatu nahi: baina bere bulharrari ceraunsón, cioela, Iauna, amatiga aquit, othoi niri bekatoreoni.
But the tax collector stood at a distance. He wouldn't even look up to heaven. Instead he beat his chest and prayed, ‘God, please be merciful to me. I am a sinner.’
14 Badiotsuet, iautsi içan dela haur iustificaturic bere etcherat, eta ez bercea: ecen bere buruä goratzen duen gucia, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheratzen duena, goraturen da.
I tell you, it was this man who went home right in God's sight and not the other. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, while those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
15 Eta ekarten cituzten harengana haour chipiac-ere, hec hunqui litzançat: eta hori ikus ceçatenean discipuluéc, mehatcha citzaten.
Parents were bringing their infants to Jesus to have him bless them by his touch. When the disciples saw what was happening, they tried to stop them.
16 Baina Iesusec haourtchoac beregana deithuric, erran ceçan, Vtzitzaçue haourtchoac enegana ethortera, eta eztitzaçuela empatcha: ecen hunelacoén da Iaincoaren resumá.
But Jesus called the children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said. “Don't prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them.
17 Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, norc-ere ezpaitu recebituren Iaincoaren resumá haourtchoac beçala, eztela sarthuren hartan.
I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 Orduan interroga ceçan cembeit iaunec, cioela, Magistru oná, cer eguinez, vicitze eternala possedituren dut? (aiōnios g166)
One of the rulers came to Jesus and asked him, “Good Teacher, what do I have to do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Eta erran cieçon Iesusec, Cergatic deitzen nauc ni on? nehor eztuc onic bat baicen, eta hura, Iaincoa.
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good, only God.
20 Manamenduac badaquizquic, Eztuc adulteraturen, Eztuc hilen, Eztuc ebatsiren, Eztuc testimoniage falsuric erranen, Ohoraitzac eure aita eta eure ama.
You know the commandments: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.”
21 Eta harc erran ceçan, Horiac guciac beguiratu citiát neure gaztetassunetic.
“I've kept all these commandments since I was young,” the man replied.
22 Eta Iesusec hori ençunic erran cieçón, Oraino gauçabat falta çaic: duán gucia sal eçac eta eman iecec paubrey: eta vkanen duc thesaurbat ceruän: eta athor, arreit niri.
When Jesus heard this he told the man, “You still lack one thing. Go and sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
23 Eta hura gauça horiac ençunic, triste cedin: ecen guciz abratsa cen.
But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very wealthy.
24 Eta ikussiric Iesusec hura haguitz tristetu cela, erran ceçan, Cein gaitz den onhassundunac Iaincoaren resumán sar ditecen!
When he saw his reaction, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Ecen errachago da cablebat sar dadin orratzaren çulhotic, ecen ez abratsa sar dadin Iaincoaren resumán.
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Eta haur ençun vkan çutenéc erran ceçaten, Eta nor salua ahal daite?
Those who heard this wondered, “Who can be saved then?”
27 Eta harc erran ceçan, Guiçonac baithan impossible diraden gauçác, possible dirade Iaincoa baithan.
Jesus replied, “What is impossible in human terms is possible for God.”
28 Eta erran ceçan Pierrisec, Huná, guc vtzi citiagu gauça guciác, eta iarreiqui gaitzaizquic hiri.
Peter said, “We left everything to follow you!”
29 Eta harc erran ciecén, Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, nehor eztela vtzi duenic etchea, edo aitamác, edo anayeac, edo emaztea, edo haourrac Iaincoaren resumaren causaz,
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus told them, “anybody who leaves behind their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for the sake of God's kingdom
31 Eta harturic hamabiac erran ciecen, Huná, igaiten gara Ierusalemera, eta complituren çaizquió, guiçonaren Semeari Prophetéz scribatu içan diraden gauça guciac.
Jesus took the twelve disciples aside, and told them, “We're going to Jerusalem, and all that the prophets wrote about the Son of man will be fulfilled.
32 Ecen Gentiley liuraturen çaye, eta escarniaturen eta iniuriaturen eta thustaturen da.
He will be handed over to the foreigners he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon.
33 Eta açotatu duqueitenean, hilen duté: baina hereneco egunean resuscitaturen da.
They will flog him and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Eta hec gauça hautaric etzeçaten deus adi: eta ciraden hitz hauc hetaric estaliac, eta erraiten ciradenac etzituzten aditzen.
But they didn't understand anything Jesus told them. The meaning was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was talking about.
35 Eta guertha cedin hura Iericorát hurbiltzen cela, itsubat baitzén iarria bide bazterrean esque cegoela.
As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting beside the road begging.
36 Eta harc ençun ceçanean populua iragaiten, galde eguin ceçan, hura cer cen.
He heard the crowd going past, so he asked what was happening.
37 Eta erran cieçoten ecen Iesus Nazareno iragaiten cela.
They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
38 Orduan oihu eguin ceçan, cioela, Iesus Dauid-en semeá, auc pietate niçaz.
He called out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
39 Eta aitzinean ioaiten ciradenéc mehatchatzen çutén ichil ledinçát: baina harc vnguiz oihu guehiago eguiten çuen, Dauid-en semea, auc pietate niçaz.
Those at the front of the crowd told him to stop shouting and be quiet, but he only shouted louder, “Son of David, please have mercy on me!”
40 Eta Iesusec gueldituric mana ceçan ekar lequion beregana, eta hura hurbildu içan cenean, interroga ceçan,
Jesus stopped and told them to bring the blind man to him. As he came over, Jesus asked him,
41 Cioela, Cer nahi duc daguiadan? Eta harc erran ceçan, Iauna, vistá recebi deçadan.
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, please, I want to see,” he pleaded.
42 Eta Iesusec erran cieçón, recebi eçac vistá: eure fedeac saluatu au.
“Then see!” Jesus told him. “Your trust in me has healed you.”
43 Eta bertan ikus ceçan, eta hari iarreiquiten çayón, glorificatzen çuela Iaincoa: Eta populu guciac hori ikussiric eman cieçon laudorio Iaincoari.
Immediately the man could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. Everyone there who saw what happened also praised God.
