Luka 18
1 Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we 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 feared not 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 certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te, 'Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
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.
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
And the Lord said: Hear what 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 revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
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 say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 “Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
Two men went up into 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, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek, 'tila thangthui.
I fast twice in a week: 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.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck 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 say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and 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 unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they 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, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to 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.
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not 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 possess everlasting 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 to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
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: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
Who said: All these things 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.
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give 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.
He having heard these things, became 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 Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah 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 pass 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.
He said to them: The things that are 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 Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have 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.
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
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.
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni,
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; 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.
And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35 Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that 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 when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pauh.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy 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 should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy 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.
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
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 saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
