Luge 18
1 Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da mae helele, mae da: i dione sia: ne gadoma: ne, Yesu da fedege sia: ilima olelei.
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2 E amane sia: i, “Moilai afae ganodini fofada: su dunu esalebe ba: i. E da Godema hame beda: i, amola eno dunuma hame asigisu.
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3 Amo moilai ganodini, didalo afae da mae yolele ema fofada: la misini, amane sia: nanu, ‘Na fidima: ne, nama ha lai dunuma fofada: ma!’
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Fofada: su dunu da ea sia: hidadea hame nabi. Be fa: no, helebeba: le, e da ea dogo ganodini amane sia: i, ‘Na da Godema hame beda: i, amola eno dunuma hame asigisa.
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5 Be amo didalo da mae helele nama mabeba: le, na da se naba. Amaiba: le na da bagadewane helesa: besa: le, na da e fidima: ne, ema ha lai dunu ilima fofada: mu.’
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6 Amalalu, Yesu da bu amane sia: i, “Dilia da wadela: i fofada: su dunu ea sia: i nabimu da defea.
And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7 Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Gode Ea ilegei fi dunu da Ema gasia amola yoga Ema digini wele sia: beba: le, E da ili fidima: ne fofada: ma: bela: ? E da ili fidima: ne, eso bagohame ouesaloma: bela: ?
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
8 Hame mabu! E da hedolowane fidima: ne, fofada: musa: misunu. Be Dunu Egefe da bu misini, doaga: sea, e da osobo bagadega, Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: su hou ba: ma: bela?”
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 Dunu ilila: hou ilisu ida: iwane dawa: i, amola eno dunu ilia hou da wadela: i ilia dawa: i, amo dunu da noga: le dawa: ma: ne, Yesu da fedege sia: olelei,
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10 “Dunu aduna da sia: ne gadomusa: Debolo Diasuga golili sa: i. Afadafa da Fa: lisi dunu, eno da su lidisu dunu.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Fa: lisi dunu e da wa: legadole, hina: hou olelema: ne amane sia: ne gadoi, ‘Gode! Na da eno dunu agoane hame. Amaiba: le, na Dima nodone sia: sa. Eno dunu huluane da wamolasu amola wadela: i hou hamosu amola inia uda adole lasu hamosa. Be na hame. Na da amo su lidisu dunu agoane hameba: le, na dima nodone sia: sa.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Na da hi ganodini eso aduna ha: i hame naha. Na labe huluane nabuane mogili, afadafa Dima iaha.’
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 Be su lidisu dunu, e sedagawane lelu, gogosiabeba: le, ea si da hamedafa ba: le gadole, ea bida: gi hi loboga fane, amane sia: ne gadoi, ‘Gode! Na da wadela: i bagade dunu! Dia nama asigiba: le, na wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoma!’
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 Na dilima sia: sa. Amo dunu da ea diasuga bu asili, ea wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi ba: i. Be Fa: lisi dunu da agoane hame hamoi. Nowa dunu da hi hou gaguia gadoma: ne, gasa fi hou hamosea, Gode da amo dunu ea hou fonobomu. Be nowa dunu ea hou hi fonobosea, Gode da amo dunu ea hou bu bagade hahamomu.”
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 Dunu eno da mano dudubu Yesuma oule misi. Ilia da Yesu amo mano ilia dialuma da: iya Ea lobo ligisima: ne, oule misi. Amo hou ba: beba: le, Yesu Ea ado ba: su dunu da ilima ougili gagabole sia: i.
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 Be Yesu da amo mano misa: ne sia: nu, amane sia: i, “Mano ilia nama misunu logo mae hedofama. Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou da mano wewai ilia:
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 Dawa: ma! Nowa dunu da mano ilia hou defelewane Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou hame lalegagusia, e da amo ganodini hamedafa masunu.”
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 Isala: ili ouligisu dunu afae da Yesuma amane adole ba: i, “Olelesu ida: iwane gala! Na da eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu lama: ne, adi hamoma: bela: ?” (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu E bu adole i, “Di da abuliba: le Nama ida: iwane dio asulila: ? Dunu huluanedafa da ida: iwane hame. Gode E fawane da ida: iwane gala.
“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20 Gode Ea sema di dawa: ‘Inia uda mae adole lama. Mae medole legema. Mae wamolama. Mae ogogole sia: ma. Dia ada amola dia ame elama nodone asigima.”
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 Amo dunu da Yesuma bu adole i, “Na da goihadini eso amogainini amo sema huluane mae giadofale hamoi dagoi.”
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22 Amo sia: nababeba: le, Yesu da ema amane sia: i, “Afadafa fawane di da hamomu gala. Dia liligi huluane bidi lale, liligi hame gagui dunuma ima. Amasea, di da gobolo ida: iwane liligi Hebene ganodini ba: mu. Amasea, misini, Nama fa: no bobogema!”
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 Be amo sia: nababeba: le, amo dunu da ea liligi bagade gagui amo dawa: beba: le, da: i dioi nabi.
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24 Ea da: i dioi ba: loba, Yesu da amane sia: i, “Bagade gagui dunu, ilia Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou amoga heda: su logo da ga: nasidafa.
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Ga: mele da nusi ea gelaboga golili masunu da liligisimu. Be bagade gagui dunu ea Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou amo ganodini golili masunu logo da ga: mele ea nusi gelaboga golili ahoasu logo amo ea liligisisu bagadewane baligisa!”
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 Amo sia: nabi dunu ilia amane sia: i. “Amaiba: le, nowa da Gode Ea gaga: su hou ba: ma: bela: ?”
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Be Yesu da bu adole i, “Osobo bagade dunu ilia hamomu hamedei liligi, Gode da hamomusa: dawa: !”
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 Amalalu, Bida e amane sia: i “Be Hina! Ninia da ninia diasu amola liligi fisili, Dima fa: no bobogei dagoi.”
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 Yesu E bu adole i, “Na da dilima dafawane sia: sa. Nowa dunu da Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou fidimusa: hanaiba: le, ea diasu amola uda, yolalali, eda, ame, amola mano huluane fisisia,
“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
31 Yesu da Ea ado ba: su dunu fagoyale gala amo la: ididili oule asili, ilima amane sia: i, “Nabima! Ninia Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega masunu. Balofede dunu da musa: Dunu Egefe Ea hou olelemusa: sia dedei. Amo dedei hou huluane da doaga: i dagoi ba: mu.
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Amasea, ilia da Dunu Egefe amo Dienadaile dunu (Gode Ea hou hame dawa: su dunu) ilima imunu. Ilia da Ema oufesega: ne, gadele, defo adugagala: mu.
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Ilia da Ea da: i fegasuga fane, medole legemu. Be E da bogole, eso udiana aligili wa: legadomu.”
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Be amo sia: ea bai da wamolegeiba: le, ilia da noga: le hame dawa: i. Ilia da Yesu Ea sia: be bai hamedafa dawa: i.
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 Yesu da Yeligou moilai gadenenewane laloba, si dofoi dunu da logo bega: fili, muni udigili edegelalebe ba: i.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 Amo dunu da Yesu amola dunu huluane ilia mabe nababeba: le, amane adole ba: i, “Amo da adi hamosala: ?”
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Eno dunu ilia amane sia: i, “Yesu, Na: salede dunu, da baligili ahoanebe.”
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38 Amalalu, e ha: giwane wele sia: i, “Yesu! Da: ibidi Egefe! Nama asigima!”
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Be bisili ahoasu dunu da ema gagabole sia: i, “Ouiya: ma!” Be amo sia: nabasea, e da bu baligiliwane wele sia: i, “Da: ibidi Egefe! Nama asigima!”
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Amasea, Yesu da oulelu, eno dunu ilia da si dofoi dunu ema oule misa: ne sia: i. E da doaga: loba, Yesu da ema amane adole ba: i,
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
41 “Na di fidima: ne, adi hamoma: bela: ?” Si dofoi dunu da bu adole i, “Hina! Na da bu ba: mu hanai gala!”
“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42 Yesu E amane sia: i, “Dia si fadegama! Di da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, uhi dagoi.”
“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43 Amasea, mae aligili, ea si da fadegale, e Godema nodone sia: nanuwane Yesuma fa: no bobogei. Dunu huluane amo gasa bagade hou ba: beba: le, Godema nodosu.
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
