Luke 18
1 Nikhat Yeshuan aseijuite ataojing nadiu leh alhahdai lou nadiu vetsahnan thusim khat aseipeh e.
And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,
2 “Khopi khat a hin thutan khat Pathen ginglou chule miho khohsah na jong neilou khat aumin ahi.
saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
3 Chuche khopia meithai khat chu kinong chel'in ahung jingin, ‘Kagalmi hotoh kakiboinau hi thu adih in neitan peh'in,’ ahung tijin ahi.
But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4 Thutan pan phat chomkhat amanu chu isahlou tah in anakoiyin, ahin achainakeiyin hitin akihoulim in, Keiman Pathen kaging pon ahiloule miho jong hole tilou kahi,
And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard man,
5 ahivangin hiche numei nu hin eisungol lhatai. Keiman thu adih'a tanlhah peh ahinadin vetpeh inge. Ajeh chu amanu hin athilthum jinga kon hin ei sulungvai lhatai,” ati.
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't wear me out!’”
6 Chuin Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Hiche chondihlou thutanpa a konin kihil un.”
Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 “Ama jengin jong achaina a thu adih'a tandia ahin gellhah ahi. Hijeh a chu Pathen in alhenchom te, ama koma asun ajan'a kapjing techu thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi ti nagel lou u ham? Amaho chu donlouvin koijing in te natim?
And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them?
8 Kaseipeh nahiuve, aman kinloitah a thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi! Ahinlah Mihem Chapa hung kit teng, leiset chunga hin mi ijat tahsan nei mudoh intem?” ati.
I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”
9 Chuin Yeshuan hiche thusim hi mi konkhat ama chonphatna a kisonga midang musit ho dingin aseiye:
Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
10 “Mi ni houin ah taona mangin ache lhon'e. Khat chu Pharisee mi ahin, chule adang khatpa chu musit umtah kaidong ahi.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Pharisee mipa chu adingin hitin ataove: ‘Kakipah'e Pathen, adangho banga chonse kahilou jeh in. Ajeh chu lepthol in kabol pon, kachonse pon, chule jonthanhoi jong kabolpoi. Keima atahbeh in khuche kaidongpa tobang kahipoi!
The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Keiman hapta khat in nivei an kangol'in, kasum mu jat a konin soma khat kapei,’ ati.
I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’
13 Ahivangin kaidong pachu gamlatah a adingin chule amit jeng'a jong vanlam ve ngamlouvin ataove. Chusang chun lungkham tah in aman a-op achum'in hitin aseiye, ‘O’ Pathen, neilungset in, ijeh inem itile chonse kahibouve, ati.
The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14 Kaseipeh nahiuve, Pharisee pa hilou, hiche chonsepa chu Pathen ang-ah them achangin inlam akiletai. Ijeh inem itile ama kichoisang hochu suhnem'a umding, chule akineosah hochu dopsang'a umdiu ahi,” ati.
I say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Nikhat nule pa phabep in achateu chapang neocha chaho chu Yeshuan atham'a phatthei aboh dingin ahin puiyun ahi. Ahivangin aseijuiten hichu amuphat un, anule apateu koma chun ama nasuboi bep uve tin ahouse uvin ahi.
Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Chuin Yeshuan chapang ho chu akouvin chule aseijuite hengah aseitai, “Chapang ho chu kahengah hung uhen. Jahda hih'un! Ajeh chu Pathen Lenggam chu hiche chapang neocha tobanghoa ding bou ahi.
But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
17 Thutah kaseipeh nahiuve, koi hileh chapang neocha banga Pathen Lenggam sanglou chu lutlou hel ding ahi,” ati.
I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
18 Khatvei hou lamkai khat hin hiche thudoh hi adonge: “Houhil pha, tonsot hinna kanei thei na dinga ipi kabol ding ham?” ati. (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 “Ipi bol'a apha tia nei kou ham” tin aledoh in, Pathen bouseh dihtah'a pha ahi.
So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
20 Ahin nathudoh donbut nan, thupeh ho nahet chula: “Nangman jon bol hih'in, tolthat hih'in, gucha hih'in, jouvin mi hehse hih in, nanu napa jabol in,” ati.
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
21 Mipan adonbut in, “Hiche thupeh ho jouse hi kachapan laiya pat kajui sohkei ahitai,” ati.
And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
22 Yeshuan adonbutna thu ajah phat chun, hitin aseitai, “Nabol loulai thilkhat aume. Nanei jouse joh in lang hiche sum chu mivaicha ho pen, chutileh van'a gou nanei ding ahi. Chuteng hungin, neijuiyin,” ati.
Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
23 Ahivangin mipa chun hichu ajahdoh phat in alung kham lheh tan ahi, ijeh inem itile amachu haosatah ahi.
But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
24 Yeshuan hichu amuphat in, aseitai, “Mihaosa Pathen Lenggam alut ding hi iti hah hitam!”
When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!
25 “Atahbeh in, heobil hom'a sangongsao alut galkai ding hi mihaosa Pathen Lenggam a alut ding sangin abaijoi,” ati.
It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
26 Hiche akisei jajouse chun aseiyun, “Achutileh vannoi leiset'a koiham huhhing na chang jou ding?” atiuve.
So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Aman adonbut in, “Mihem dinga hithei lou chu Pathen dinga hithei ahi,” ati.
And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Peter in aseiyin, “Keihon nangma jui dingin ka-in'u kadalhauve,” ati.
Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”
29 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Henge” chuleh ka lhamon nahiuve, “Koihileh Pathen Lenggam jal'a a'in ham, ajinu ham, asopiho ham, ahiloule anu apa ham achate ham pedoh chan chu,
So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Seijui somleni ho atumbeh'in apuidoh in, Yeshuan ajah uva aseiye, “Ngaiyun, eiho Jerusalem chetou ding ihiuve, Mihem Chapa chungchang thudol'a themgao thusei jouse guilhun na ding mun chu ahi.
Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:
32 Amachu Rome te khut'a pehdoh'a umding ahi, chule amachu tot thanghoi'a umding, jachat umtah'a kibol ding, chil kisetkhum ding ahi.
He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,
33 Amahon avoh'uva chule athadiu ahi, ahivanga anithum nileh thoukit ding ahi,” ati.
and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Ahin, amahon hitiho thuhi khatcha ahethei pouve. Athusei ho athupije chu amaho a kona ki im mang ahi, hijeh a chu athusei chu amattoh thei lou u ahitai.
But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
35 Yeshuan Jericho anaisuh lai hin, mitcho khutdo khat lamsih'ah ana touve.
Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.
36 Aman mihonpi kijot khuto gin ajah phat in, ipi thu hitam ti adongin ahi.
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
37 Nazereth Yeshuan hikom chu ahopa ahi ti aseipeh tauve.
So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
38 Hijeh chun amapa ahung eojah tan, “Yeshua, David chapa, neilungset in!” ahintin ahi.
Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 “Thip'in” tin masang langa miho chun ahutot tauvin ahi. Ahivangin ama awgingjep in ahapen cheh tan, “David Chapa, neilungset in!” ati.
Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Yeshuan ajahdoh phat in, adingin mipa chu ahinpui lut diuvin athupeh tai. Mipa ahung nai toh lhonin Yeshuan adongin,
So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
41 “Ipi nabolpeh leng natim?” tin adong tai. Aman, “Pakai, kho muleng kati!” ati.
“What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
42 Chuin Yeshuan aseiyin, “Aphai, kho mutan! Natahsan in nadamsah ahitai,” ati.
Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
43 Apettah chun mipa chun kho amutai chuleh amapan Yeshua nung ajuiyin Pathen avahchoi tai. Chuleh amujousen jong Pathen avahchoi cheh tauve.
And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
