Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
Vbvrikunamv Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa minchisinam go minla tamsarto bunua kumbwngla doomu dubv okv vdwloka miangbv mvngsu madubv.
2 “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
“Banggu guloka kvba japrianv nyi go dooto nw yvvnyika mvngdv manvgo okv Pwknvyarnv nyika busu manvgo.
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
Okv ho banggu akin hoka hvngmi goka dooto hv ninyi gvlo aaki nvgo okv ninyigv jvjv nga raabwngto vbv minto ‘nga nyiru nvnga ridarminsu dubv nga ridur labv!’
4 For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
Japria jinv angv megojego riji jimakv vla mingkwngto, vbvritola anyung jemanga nw atuv minsuto, ‘Ngo Pwknvyarnvnyi busu manv vmalo nyi ha mvngdv manv gubv rijvka,
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
so hvngmi gv nga adwkaku jinam mvnwng gv lvgalo ngo ninyigv jvjv nga paadu kubv kaajire. Ngo vbv riji mabolo nw aabwngre okv ataranya lo ngaaka gvvkuji!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
Okv Ahtu minbwngto, “Japrianv nyi alvmanv gv minam a tvvtoka.
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?
Vjak, Pwknvyarnv nw atugv nyi gv lvgabv japjiriji maredw yvvdw aluayu bv ridur lvgabv kapki nvnga? Nw ninyia ridur svnga tapv ridw?
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?”
Ngo nonua mindu, Nw bunu gvbv japjire okv hum baapubv rijire. Vbvritola nyia Kuunyilo ngv vdwlo nyiamooku so aarikunyi mvngjwng go paarikudw?”
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
Atua darwk nvgobv mvngsinv okv kvvbi nyi mvnwngnga miyakaayanv vdwa Jisu so minchisinam sum minjidato.
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
“Alu golo nyi anyigo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kumdubv vla chaato: akonv Parisi go kvvbi gonv lampu naaria nvgo.
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.
Parisi angv atu hv akusubv dakrwsito okv kumto, ‘Ngo Pwknvyarnv nam, umbonyikv mvngdunv, ogulvgavbolo ngo dvgum madunv, tvvma nvgobv rima, vmalo nyi mvnwng gv ribv, yoomur nvgobv rima. Ngo nam umbonyikv vdunv ogulvgavbolo ngo alo v doonv lampunayanv aingbv rima.
12 I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
Ngo lokkanw lo loonyi go yikla doodunv, okv ngo paanam lo vring loka akonyi nam jibwng dunv.’
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!’
Vbvritola Lampunayanv angv adulo dakto okv ninyigv nyukmu ngvka nyido aobv baayinmato, vbvritola ninyigv haakwnglo baapv gvrila okv minto, ‘Pwknvyarnv, ngo rimurnv nyi go, ngam aya labv!’
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.”
Ngo nonua mindunv,” Jisu minto, “Pwknvyarnv gv kaagia lo, alvnvgobv rinv lampu naayanv angv, vdwlo nw naam bv vngtokudw, Parisis angvma. Ho lvga mvnwngngv yvvdw kainvgobv mvngsudunv um miang nvgobv mvre, okv yvvdw atu v miang nvgobv mvngsudunv hum kainvgobv mvre.”
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.
Nyi mego bunugv vmi vdwa Jisu gvlo aagvjito ninyigv laak v bunuam lakpo modubv vla. Lvbwlaksu vdwv bunua vbvrinv gubv vla yamdarpato,
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.
vbvritola Jisu vmi vdwa nw gvlo goklwkto okv minto, “vmi vdwa ngoogvlo aamuto okv bunua mintor mabv, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv gv Karv ngv svkv nvgv gvngv.
17 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Sum mvnggap laka! Yvvdw vmi aingbv rigv rila Pwknvyarnv gv Karv nga naarwk madunv v hoka aanyu mare.”
18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Jius nyi rigvnv ako Jisunyi tvvkato, “Alvbv Tamsarnv, turbwng nama paanam lvgabv ngo ogugo risegubvri?” (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
“No nga ogubv alvnv vla mindunv?” Jisu ninyia tvvkato. “Yvvka alvnv kaama Pwknvyarnv akin mvngchik.
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.’”
No gamkinam gaam vdwa chindu: ‘Yoomur mabvka; gwngrw gwyoka; dvcho mabvka; mvvlarula yvvnyika mium mabvka; noogv anv okv abunyi mvngdv laka.’”
21 “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
Nyi angv mirwkto, “So gv gamkinam gaam vdw sum, ngo vmi anga lokv, ribwngchala ripvkunv.”
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.”
Vdwlo Jisu hum tvvtokudw, nw nyi anga minto, “No rise ngv akin go doopv. No ogugo doopvdw hum mvnwngnga pyoktola morko nga heemanv vdwa jito laka, okv no nyidomooku tolo nyitvyachok reku; vbvripikula aala nga vngming gvlakuka.”
23 But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
Vbvritola vdwlo nyi angv hum tvvtokudw, nw achialvbv mvngru toku, ogulvgavbolo nw achialvbv nyitvto.
24 Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Jisu ninyia mvngru dubv kaatoku okv minto, “Nyitvnv nyi hv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo aanam lvgabv achialvbv aanyu madunv!
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.”
Kemel gv pwsi ungrung lo vngpit tvvnam aingbv nyitvnv nyi v hum kaiyabv aanyu manam gubv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo aatv rinyi ridunv.”
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
Nyi vdwv hum nw gvlo tvvpanv vdwv tvvkato, “Vbvrikubolo, yvv, ringnam a paala kujinv?”
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Jisu mirwkto, “Nyi gv ogugo rinyu manamv Pwknvyarnv gv lvgabv rinyu dunv.”
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
Vbvrikunamv Pitar minto, “Kaatoka! Ngonu nam vngming gvdubv ngonugv naam vdwa vngyu pvnv.”
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
“Am,” Jisu bunua minto, “Okv ngo nonua jvjvbv milv jidunv yvvdw naam vmalo nyimv vmalo achiboru vmalo anvabu vmalo kuu vdwa Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lvgabv vngyu dunv.
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.
Jisu lvbwlaksu vdwa vngyi gvtoku okv bunua minto, “Tvvtoka, ngonu Jerusalem bv vngdunv, hoka nyijwk vdwgv nyia Kuunyilo gv lvga nga lvknam vdwv jvjvbv rilin jiriku.
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
Ninyia kvvbi nyi vdwgvlo laklwk reku, bunu ninyia mvmin reku, nyarjikao reku, okv tachor chorke reku.
33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
Bunu ninyia svnyak pareku, okv mvki reku, vbvritola alu loom kochinglo nw turrap reku.”
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.
Vbvritola lvbwlaksu vdwv minam vdwa akonyika chinku mato; ogu ha minpv nvdw hv bunugv lokv adu toku, okv Jisu ogu gonyi minpv nvdw um bunu chinku mato.
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
Jisu Jeriko gv adarlo aadungto, hoka giagonv nyi ako lamtv hoka doopv tvvla giadungto.
36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
Vdwlo nw nyipam vdwgv vngpit nama tvvpa tokudw, nw tvkato, “Si ogu v?”
37 “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
Bunu ninyia minpato, “Najaret lokv Jisu vngpit dvnvkv.”
38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Nw kapla minto, “Jisu! Dabid gv kuunyilo! Nga aya mvngpa labvka!”
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!”
Haabo lokv nyi vdwv ninyia yamto okv ninyia choibvkv vla minto. Vbvritola nw gamtvyayabv gokla minto, “Dabid gv kuunyilo! Nga aya mvngpa labvka!”
40 Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
Vkvlvgabv Jisu daktungto okv nyikchingnv nyi anga ninyigvlo aagv dubv minto. Vdwlo nyi angv nvchilo aato kudw, Jisu ninyia tvvkato,
41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
“No nga noogv lvgabv ogugo rijilabv vla mvngdunv?” “Tamsarnv,” nw mirwksito, “Ngo lvkodv kaapa nwngduku.”
42 “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
Jisu ninyia minto, “Vbvrikunamv kaato kuka! Noogv mvngjwng ngv nam alv mopvku.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
Vjakgobv nw kaapa toku, okv nw Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv yingla, Jisunyi vngming gvtoku. Vdwlo nyipam v um kaatokudw, bunu mvnwngngv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv toku.
