Luka 18
1 Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 “Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh.
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih, ‘Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak,’ a ti nah.
And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.
4 Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeiah amah te, ‘Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
10 “Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican.
11 Pharisee tah amah la pai tih, ‘Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem,
The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.
12 Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek,’ tila thangthui.
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih, ‘Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah,’ a ti.
But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.
16 Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
But Jesus called them to Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it.
18 Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God.
20 Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
And he said, all these have I kept from my youth.
22 A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai.
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?
25 Kuirhang te Pathen ram khuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
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 Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, and followed Thee.
29 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih.
And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni.
And He took the twelve with Him and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timthoih ni,
For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:
33 Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
and the third day He shall rise again.
34 Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.
35 Jerikho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pa uh.
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.
40 Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 “Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
