Luka 18
1 Eka Yesu nogoyo ngero ne jopuonjrene mondo onyisgi gibed ka gilamo kinde duto kendo kik chunygi aa.
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 Nowachonegi niya, “E dala moro ne nitie jangʼad bura mane ok oluoro Nyasaye kata ok odewo ji.
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 To ne nitie dhako ma chwore otho moro e dalano manobedo kadhiyo ire pile giywakne kakwaye ni, ‘Yie ingʼadna bura e kinda gi ngʼat ma hinyani!’
And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.
4 “Kuom kinde moko moromo nodagi, to bangʼe mogik nowacho kende owuon ni, ‘Kata obedo ni ok aluoro Nyasaye kendo ok adewo ji kamano
And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 to nikech dhako ma chwore othoni osiko chanda, abiro neno ni angʼadone bura kare, mondo kik oola gibiro ma obirogo ira pile!’”
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 To Ruoth nowacho niya, “Winjeuru gima ne jangʼad bura ma ok kareno owacho!
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 To donge Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura kare ni joge moyier, maywakne odiechiengʼ gi otieno? Bende obiro tamore ma ok owinjogi?
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 Awachonu ni obiro neno ni ongʼadnegi bura kare kendo mapiyo. Kata kamano, ka Wuod Dhano obiro, bende obiro yudo yie e piny?”
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 Ne joma noketo genogi kuomgi giwegi maparo ni gin joma kare kendo mane ochayo ji mamoko duto, Yesu nogoyonegi ngero kama:
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
10 “Ji ariyo nodhi lemo ei hekalu, achiel ne en ja-Farisai to machielo ne jasol osuru.
Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican.
11 Ja-Farisai moro nochungo malo mi olamo ka opwoyore ni, ‘Nyasaye, agoyoni erokamano ni ok an kaka ji mamoko, ma jomecho, joma timo timbe maricho, jochode, kata mana kaka jasol osuruni.
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 Atweyo chiemo nyadiriyo e juma ka juma, kendo achiwo achiel kuom apar mar gigo duto manwangʼo.’
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 “To jasol osuru nochungo mabor. Ne ok onyal kata mana ngʼiyo polo malo, to nogoyo kore kendo nowacho ni, ‘Nyasaye, kecha, an jaricho.’
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 “Awachonu ni ngʼatni, ma ok ngʼat machielono, nodhi dala ka en kare e nyim Nyasaye. Nimar ngʼato angʼato matingʼore malo kende nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
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 Ji ne kelo nyithindo matindo ir Yesu, mondo ogwedhgi. Kane jopuonjre noneno mano negikwerogi.
And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.
16 To Yesu noluongo nyithindo ire kendo nowacho niya, “Weuru nyithindo matindo obi ira, kendo kik utamgi, nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye en mar ji machal ka magi.
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 Awachonu adier ni, ngʼato ma ok orwako pinyruoth Nyasaye kaka nyathi matin ok nodonji ngangʼ.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it.
18 Jatelo moro nopenje niya, “Japuonj maber, en angʼo monego atim mondo ayud ngima mochwere kaka girkeni mara?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu nodwoke kapenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo iluonga ni ngʼama ber? Onge ngʼama ber, makmana Nyasaye kende.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God.
20 Ingʼeyo chike mawacho ni: ‘Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik ihang wach, luor wuonu gi minu.’”
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 Nodwoke niya, “Magi duto aserito nyaka aa rawera.”
And he said, all these have I kept from my youth.
22 Kane Yesu owinjo wachno, nowachone niya, “Pod iremo gimoro achiel. Lok mwanduni duto ma in-go pesa, mondo ipog joma odhier, eka inibed gi mwandu mokan e polo. Bangʼ timo kamano to bi mondo iluwa.”
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 Ka nowinjo ma, nobedo mokuyo ahinya, nikech ne en ngʼat man-gi mwandu mathoth ahinya.
But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Yesu nongʼiye kendo nowachone niya, “Mano kaka en gima tek mondo jomoko odonji e pinyruoth Nyasaye.
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 Chutho, yot mondo ngamia okadhi e wangʼ sandan, moloyo jamoko donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye!”
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 Jogo manowinjo mani nopenjo niya, “Kare en ngʼa manyalo kwo?”
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Gino ma ok nyalre gi dhano, nyalore kuom Nyasaye.”
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Petro nowachone niya, “Wan waseweyo gik moko duto mane wan-go mondo waluwi!”
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, and followed Thee.
29 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni, onge ngʼato moseweyo dalane kata jaode kata owetene, kata jonywolne, kata nyithinde nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye
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 Yesu nokawo jopuonjre apar gariyo otero tenge kendo nowachonegi niya, “Eri wadhi nyaka Jerusalem, to gigo duto mane ondiki gi jonabi kuom Wuod Dhano ibiro timogi.
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 Ibiro chiwe ne joma ok jo-Yahudi. Gibiro jare, giniyanye, mi gingʼudh olawo kuome.
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 Bende ginichwade ma gininege, to chiengʼ mar adek enochier kendo.”
and the third day He shall rise again.
34 Jopuonjre ne ok owinjo tiend wechegi kata matin. Tiend wechegi nopandnegi, kendo ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owuoyo kuome.
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 Kane Yesu chiegni chopo Jeriko, ngʼat moro ma muofu noyudo obet e bath yo kakwecho.
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 Kane owinjo ka oganda kadho, nopenjo ni en angʼo matimore.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Negidwoke niya, “Yesu ja-Nazareth ema kadho.”
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 Noluongo matek niya, “Yesu, Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 To jogo ma notelo e yo nokwere kendo nowachone ni olingʼ thi, to nomedo goyo koko niya, “Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
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 Yesu nochungo kendo nochiko mondo okel ngʼatno ire. Kane obiro machiegni, Yesu nopenje niya,
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 “Angʼo midwaro mondo atimni?” Nodwoko niya, “Ruoth, adwaro mondo anen.”
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 Yesu nowachone niya, “Nen! Yieni ema ochangi.”
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Gikanyono nochako neno kendo noluwo bangʼ Yesu, kopako Nyasaye. Ka ji duto noneno mano, negipako Nyasaye.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
