Luke 18
1 Kawboet kaana cykcah poepa aham awm hy tice ami simnaak aham Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh nyhtahnaak awi pynoet kqawn peek khqi hy.
And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men should always to pray, and not to faint;
2 A mingmih a venawh: “Khaw pynoet awh Khawsa awm amak kqih, thlanghqing awm kawna amak ngai awidengkung thlang pynoet ce awm hy.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 Ce a khawk khuiawh nuhai pynoet awm nawh, cawhkaw awidengkung a venawh, ‘Ka qaal ingkaw kai anglakawhkaw awi ve am dyng na kqawn law lah,’ tinawh cet poepa nawh qeennaak thoeh hy.
And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 Iqyt num taw am ngai am loek na hy. Cehlai a hu na taw poek quhy, ‘Khawsa awm ap kqih nyng saw thlanghqing awm kawna am ngai pai hlai nyng,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 vawhkaw nuhai ing ni ngeu ni lawn khing kaw ve, awihdyng kqawn pe hlah mai vang nyng, cawh ni am law qoe voel kawmsaw a mani ngeu ama ni lawn hly hy,’ tihy” tinak khqi hy.
Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Cekcoengawh Bawipa ing, “Amak thym awidengkung ak awi ve ngai lah uh.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 A venawh khawmthan khawdai ko ang kqang doena ak cykcah, amah ing ak tyh thlangkhqi aham Khawsa ing am dyng na awi am deng kawm nu? A mingmih ce awm hly taak dym nawh nu?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night to him, though he bear long with them?
8 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ing awi ang tawnna deng kaw. Cehlai thlanghqing Capa a law awh, khawmdek awh cangnaak ak hu hly hyn hy voei nu? tihy.
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 Amah am dyngnaak ypna nawh thlang ak husitkhqi venawh, vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy:
And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Thlang pakkhih taw cykcah aham bawkim na cet hy nih. Pynoet taw Farasi thlang na awm nawh pynoet taw mangmu ak cawikung na awm hy.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Farasi thlang taw dyi nawh vemyihna cykcah hy: “Khawsa, kai taw quk-aikhqi, thawlhnaak ak saikhqi, samphaihkhqi ingkaw vawhkaw mangmu ak cawikung amyihna awm am ka awm a dawngawh, na venawh zeel nyng.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Khaw khqih nyn khuiawh buh hih voei ka zeih coengawh ka huh boeih ak khuiawh pahqa pynoet ak thym cana pe nyng,’ tihy.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Cehlai mangmu ak cawikung taw ak hla na dyi hoer nawh, khan benna awm am mang hqa hy, ak kqang pung nawh, ‘Bawipa, kai thlakthawlh ve nim qeen lah,’ tinawh cykcah hy.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cawhkaw thlang ing Khawsa haiawh dyngnaak ce hu nawh im na voei hy. U awm amah ingkaw amah ak zoeksang qu taw ak kaina nung tla kaw, cehlai ak kaina ak awm ing ce zoeksangnaak hu kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 Thlangkhqi ing naasenkhqi ce Jesu ing a bi aham a venawh law pyi uhy. A hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh, thlangkhqi ce zyi uhy.
And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Cehlai Jesu ing naasenkhqi ce a venna ak khy coengawh, “Naasenkhqi, ka venna law sak uh, koeh hqek u, kawtih Khawsa qam taw vemyih ak thlangkhqi ham ni.
But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam ce naasen amyihna amak do taw ak khuiawh am kun thai kaw,’ tinak khqi hy.
Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Ukkung thlang pynoet ing, “Cawngpuikung leek, kumqui hqingnaak ka pangnaak thai aham ikaw ka sai hly.” tina hy. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesu ing, “Ikawtih leek hy nani tinaak? Khawsa doeng am taw u awm am leek hy.
And Jesus said to him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Awipeekkhqi sim tiksaw kaw: ‘Koeh samphaih, thlang koeh him, koeh qu, amak thym dyihthing na koeh dyi, na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah,’ a tice ti,” tina hy.
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.
21 Anih ing, “Vemihkhqi boeih ve ka naasen awhkawng ni ka sai hawh,” tina hy.
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Ce ak awi ce Jesu ing ang zaak awh, a venawh, “Pynoet voet hun hyk ti. Na taakkhqi boeih ce zawi nawhtaw hahqahkhqi venawh pe, cawhtaw khawk khan awh them ta kawp ti. Cekcoengawh ka hu awh bat law,” tina hy.
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, anih ce boei thlang na a awm dawng awh, ak kaw a boe na se hy.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh, “Boei thlangkhqi ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak aham ikawmyih aih na a kyinaak ve!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Boei thlang ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak anglakawhtaw kalauk ing kqym ak khuiawh a kun mantaw zoei bet kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Ce ak awi ak zakhqi ing, “U ing nu thawngnaak a huh hly lawk hy voei?” ti uhy.
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Jesu ing, “Thlanghqing aham amak coeng thai ce Khawsa ham taw coeng thai hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Piter ing a venawh, “Kaimih ingtaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih cehta unyng saw na hu awh bat unyng ve!” tina hy.
Then Peter said, See, we have left all, and followed you.
29 Jesu ing a mingmih na ce, “Awitaak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam dawngawh a im aw, a zu aw, a koeinaa aw, a cakhqi aw ama cehtaak awhtaw
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Jesu ing a hubat Thlanghqa hlaihih ce ak chang na cehpyi nawh, “Tawngha khqi ing, Thlanghqing Capa akawng ami na qeekhqi boeih ce a soepnaak aham, ningnih ve Jerusalem na ni cet kawm uh.
Then he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Anih ce Gentelkhqi kut awh pe kawm uh. Raih na kawm uh, the a kha na kawm uh, sawh a phih kawm uh, vyk kawm usaw him kawm uh.
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 Cehlai am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
And they shall whip him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Vawhkaw awi ak kqawnkhqi ve a hubatkhqi ing pynoet ca awm am zasim uhy. Ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce a thuh hyn dawngawh, ikawk awi aw ak kqawn hy voei, ti awm am sim uhy.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 Jeriko khaw ce Jesu ing a pha tawm awh, mikhyp thlang pynoet taw lam a keng awh ngawi nawh kut dun hy.
And it came to pass, that as he was come near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 Thlangkhqi a ceh tyn awi ce ang zaak awh, thlangkhqi ce doet hy.
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 Thlangkhqi ing, Nazareth khaw awhkaw Jesu law hy, tina hy.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
38 Cawh anih ing, “David Capa, Jesu, kai ve nim qeen lah,” tinawh khy hy.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Lam ak khul kungkhqi ing awm dym aham kaa na uhy, cehlai, David Capa, kai ve nim qeen lah, tinawh khy khqoet hy.
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Cawh Jesu ing dyi cat nawh, cawhkaw thlang ce a venna sawi aham kqawn pehy. Jesu a ven a pha awh,
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “Kaw sai sak aham nu na ni ngaih? tina hy. Anih ing, “Bawipa, ka mik a dai aham ngaih nyng,” tina hy.
Saying, What will you that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Jesu ing a venawh, “Na mik dang hlah seh, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy,” tina hy.
And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
43 Cawh a mik ce dai pe pahoei hy, Jesu a hu awh bat nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy. Thlangkhqi ing ami huh awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
