Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
Eka Yesu nogoyo ngero ne jopuonjrene mondo onyisgi gibed ka gilamo kinde duto kendo kik chunygi aa.
2 “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
Nowachonegi niya, “E dala moro ne nitie jangʼad bura mane ok oluoro Nyasaye kata ok odewo ji.
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
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!’
4 For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
“Kuom kinde moko moromo nodagi, to bangʼe mogik nowacho kende owuon ni, ‘Kata obedo ni ok aluoro Nyasaye kendo ok adewo ji kamano
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
to nikech dhako ma chwore othoni osiko chanda, abiro neno ni angʼadone bura kare, mondo kik oola gibiro ma obirogo ira pile!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
To Ruoth nowacho niya, “Winjeuru gima ne jangʼad bura ma ok kareno owacho!
7 Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
To donge Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura kare ni joge moyier, maywakne odiechiengʼ gi otieno? Bende obiro tamore ma ok owinjogi?
8 I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
Awachonu ni obiro neno ni ongʼadnegi bura kare kendo mapiyo. Kata kamano, ka Wuod Dhano obiro, bende obiro yudo yie e piny?”
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
Ne joma noketo genogi kuomgi giwegi maparo ni gin joma kare kendo mane ochayo ji mamoko duto, Yesu nogoyonegi ngero kama:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
“Ji ariyo nodhi lemo ei hekalu, achiel ne en ja-Farisai to machielo ne jasol osuru.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
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.
12 I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
Atweyo chiemo nyadiriyo e juma ka juma, kendo achiwo achiel kuom apar mar gigo duto manwangʼo.’
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
“To jasol osuru nochungo mabor. Ne ok onyal kata mana ngʼiyo polo malo, to nogoyo kore kendo nowacho ni, ‘Nyasaye, kecha, an jaricho.’
14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
“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.”
15 Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
Ji ne kelo nyithindo matindo ir Yesu, mondo ogwedhgi. Kane jopuonjre noneno mano negikwerogi.
16 But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
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.
17 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Awachonu adier ni, ngʼato ma ok orwako pinyruoth Nyasaye kaka nyathi matin ok nodonji ngangʼ.”
18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Jatelo moro nopenje niya, “Japuonj maber, en angʼo monego atim mondo ayud ngima mochwere kaka girkeni mara?” (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
Yesu nodwoke kapenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo iluonga ni ngʼama ber? Onge ngʼama ber, makmana Nyasaye kende.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
Ingʼeyo chike mawacho ni: ‘Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik ihang wach, luor wuonu gi minu.’”
21 “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
Nodwoke niya, “Magi duto aserito nyaka aa rawera.”
22 On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
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.”
23 But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
Ka nowinjo ma, nobedo mokuyo ahinya, nikech ne en ngʼat man-gi mwandu mathoth ahinya.
24 Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Yesu nongʼiye kendo nowachone niya, “Mano kaka en gima tek mondo jomoko odonji e pinyruoth Nyasaye.
25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Chutho, yot mondo ngamia okadhi e wangʼ sandan, moloyo jamoko donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye!”
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
Jogo manowinjo mani nopenjo niya, “Kare en ngʼa manyalo kwo?”
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Gino ma ok nyalre gi dhano, nyalore kuom Nyasaye.”
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
Petro nowachone niya, “Wan waseweyo gik moko duto mane wan-go mondo waluwi!”
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni, onge ngʼato moseweyo dalane kata jaode kata owetene, kata jonywolne, kata nyithinde nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye
31 Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
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.
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
Ibiro chiwe ne joma ok jo-Yahudi. Gibiro jare, giniyanye, mi gingʼudh olawo kuome.
33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
Bende ginichwade ma gininege, to chiengʼ mar adek enochier kendo.”
34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
Jopuonjre ne ok owinjo tiend wechegi kata matin. Tiend wechegi nopandnegi, kendo ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owuoyo kuome.
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
Kane Yesu chiegni chopo Jeriko, ngʼat moro ma muofu noyudo obet e bath yo kakwecho.
36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
Kane owinjo ka oganda kadho, nopenjo ni en angʼo matimore.
37 “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
Negidwoke niya, “Yesu ja-Nazareth ema kadho.”
38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Noluongo matek niya, “Yesu, Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
39 Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
To jogo ma notelo e yo nokwere kendo nowachone ni olingʼ thi, to nomedo goyo koko niya, “Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
40 Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
Yesu nochungo kendo nochiko mondo okel ngʼatno ire. Kane obiro machiegni, Yesu nopenje niya,
41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
“Angʼo midwaro mondo atimni?” Nodwoko niya, “Ruoth, adwaro mondo anen.”
42 “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
Yesu nowachone niya, “Nen! Yieni ema ochangi.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
Gikanyono nochako neno kendo noluwo bangʼ Yesu, kopako Nyasaye. Ka ji duto noneno mano, negipako Nyasaye.
