Luka 18
1 Kaminawk loe thazok ai ah lawkthuih han angaih, tiah nihcae khaeah patahhaih lok maeto a thuih pae;
And he spoke a parable to them, that they ought always to pray, and not to become weary,
2 avang maeto ah Sithaw zii ai, kami mikhmai doeh khen ai lokcaekkung maeto oh:
saying: There was in a certain city a judge, who neither feared God nor regarded man.
3 to avang thungah lamhmai maeto oh; lamhmai loe lokcaekkung khaeah caeh moe, Ka misa nuiah lu lak hanah lok na caek paeh, tiah tahmenhaih a hnik.
And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, and said: Avenge me on my opponent at law.
4 Atue nasetto thungah maw loe anih mah lokcaek ai ah oh pae: toe hnukkhuem ah loe, Sithaw to ka zii ai, kami mikhmai doeh ka khen ai;
And for a while he refused. But afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 toe hae lamhmai mah raihaih ang paek khing boeh pongah, lok takroek pae halat ue, to tih ai nahaeloe anih angzo khing ueloe, raihaih na paek moeng tih, tiah a poek, tiah a naa.
yet, because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Angraeng mah, Katoeng ai lokcaek kami ih lok to poek oh.
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says;
7 Sithaw mah angmah khaeah qum thun lawkthui kami, a qoih ih kaminawk hanah lokcaek pae mak ai maw, nihcae to atue kasawkah angam taak duem tih maw?
and will not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, though he delay long in respect to them?
8 Kang thuih o, anih loe nihcae han karangah lokcaek pae tih. Toe Kami Capa angzoh naah Anih mah long nuiah tanghaih hnu tang tih maw? tiah a naa.
I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. Yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find the faith on the earth?
9 Anih mah angmacae toenghaih angoep, minawk khet patoek kaminawk khaeah hae patahhaih lok hae a thuih pae:
And he spoke this parable to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised others.
10 kami hnik loe lawkthuih hanah tempul ah caeh hoi; maeto loe Farasi kami ah oh moe, kalah maeto loe tamut cong kami ah oh.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Farasi kami loe angdoet moe, Sithaw, kai loe minawk ih hmuen kalomh, kazae kaminawk, zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah kaminawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe hae ih tamut cong kami baktiah ka om ai pongah, anghoehaih lawk kang thuih.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Ni sarihto thungah buh vai hnetto ka zah, ka tawnh ih hmuen thung boih hoiah hato thungah maeto ka paek, tiah lawk a thuih.
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Toe tamut cong kami loe kangthla ah angdoet moe, van bangah doeh khen ngam ai, angmah ih saoek to atumh moe, Angraeng, kami zae kai nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah lawk a thuih.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Kang thuih o, Kalah kami pongah loe hae tamut cong kami mah ni toenghaih to hnuk, to pacoengah angmah im ah amlaem: mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah amkoeh kami loe krah tathuk tih; toe mi tlim ah khosah kami loe pakoeh ah om tih, tiah a naa.
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.
15 Jesu suisak hanah nawktanawk anih khaeah angzoh o haih: toe a hnukbang kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, nihcae to zoeh o.
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them. But when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Toe Jesu mah nawktanawk to angmah khaeah kawk moe, Nawktanawk to kai khaeah angzo o sak ah, haek o hmah: Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe to baktih kami han ih ni oh.
And Jesus called them to him, and said: Let the little children come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Loktang kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh Sithaw prae to nawkta ta baktiah talawk ai kami loe a thungah akun thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no way enter into it.
18 Ukkung maeto mah, Kahoih Patukkung, dungzan hinghaih qawktoep hanah timaw ka sak han? tiah dueng. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Tipongah Kahoih, tiah nang kawk loe? Sithaw, Maeto khue ai ah loe, mi doeh hoih ai.
And Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is God.
20 Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah hmah, Kami hum hmah, Paqu hmah, Hnukung amsawn ah om hmah, Nam no hoi nam pa saiqat ah, tiah kaom kaalok to na panoek to loe, tiah a naa.
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false testimony; Honor your father and your mother.
21 Anih mah, Hae hmuennawk loe nawkta nathuem hoiah ni ka pazui boih boeh, tiah a naa.
He replied: All these have I kept from my youth.
22 To lok to Jesu mah thaih naah, anih mah to kami khaeah, Maeto na ngai vop: na tawnh ih hmuennawk to zawh boih ah loe, kamtang kaminawk hanah paek ah, to tiah nahaeloe van prae ah tangqum na tawn tih: to pacoengah angzo ah loe, ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
When Jesus heard this, he said to him: One thing you yet lack; sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Anih loe angraeng parai pongah, to lok to a thaih naah, paroeai palungset.
And when he heard this, he was very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Anih palungset parai, tiah Jesu mah panoek naah, Angraeng kaminawk Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae thungah akun han kawkruk maw rai!
When Jesus saw that he was very sad, he said: How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Angraeng kami van ah akun pongah loe, kaengkuu hrang phungvang khaw thungah akun han zoi kue, tiah a naa.
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom, of God.
26 To lok thaih kaminawk mah, To tih nahaeloe mi maw pahlong ah om thai tih? tiah thuih o.
And those who heard it said: Who, then, can be saved?
27 Anih mah, Kami han angcoeng thai ai hmuen to Sithaw hoiah loe angcoeng thaih, tiah a naa.
He replied: Things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Piter mah anih khaeah, Khenah, Kaicae loe hmuennawk ka caeh o taak boih moe, na hnukah ka bang o, tiah a naa.
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae hanah imlawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno ampa maw, to tih ai boeh loe nawkamya maw, to tih ai boeh loe a zu maw, to tih ai boeh loe a caanawk maw caehtaak kami loe,
And he said to them: Verily I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Anih loe kami hatlai hnettonawk to angma khaeah hoih moe, nihcae khaeah, Khenah, Tahmaanawk mah tarik ih kami Capa kawng to akoep boih thai han ih ni, Jerusalem ah a caeh o.
And he took the twelve aside, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.:
32 Anih to Gentelnawk khaeah paek o tih, pahnui o thuih tih, pacaekthlaek o ueloe, tamtui hoiah pathoih o tih:
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be derided and insulted and spit upon;
33 nihcae mah anih to bop o ueloe, hum o tih: toe anih loe ni thumto naah angthawk let tih, tiah a naa.
and they shall scourge him, and put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.
34 Nihcae mah hae loknawk hae thaih o kop ai: hae thuihaih lok loe nihcae han lok tamqu ah oh pongah, tih lok maw a thuih, tito nihcae mah panoek o ai.
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was concealed from them; and they understood not the things that were spoken.
35 Jeriko vangpui a phak tom naah, mikmaeng maeto loe lam taengah anghnut moe, ban patueng:
And it came to pass, that, as he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
36 paroeai kaminawk lamcaehhaih atuen to anih mah thaih naah, tih tuen maw tiah minawk khaeah a dueng.
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Nazareth Jesu angzoh, tiah thuih pae o.
And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
38 Anih mah, nang David Capa, Jesu, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah a naa.
And he cried out and said: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Jesu hmaa ah caeh kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Om duem ah, tiah a naa o: toe anih mah, nang David capa, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah a hang aep.
And those who went before rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried so much the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Jesu loe angdoet moe, to kami to anih khaeah hoih hanah lok a paek: to kami Jesu khae phak naah loe, Jesu mah anih khaeah,
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,
41 nang hanah timaw saksak na koeh? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Angraeng, mik amtueng han ka koeh, tiah a naa.
saying: What do you wish me to do for you? he replied: Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na mik amtueng lai ah, na tanghaih mah ang hoihsak boeh, tiah a naa.
And Jesus said to him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.
43 To naah a mik to amtueng pae roep, to pacoengah Jesu hnukah bang moe, Sithaw to pakoeh: kaminawk boih mah, to hmuen to hnuk o naah, Sithaw to saphaw o.
And he immediately received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
