Luke 18
1 Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܢܨܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܗܘܢ |
2 saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man.
| ܕܝܢܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܚܕ ܗܘܐ |
3 But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’
| ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܬܒܥܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܒܥܠ ܕܝܢܝ |
4 And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,
| ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܚܕ ܐܢܐ |
5 yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’”
| ܐܦܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܠܐܝܐ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܬܒܥܝܗ ܕܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܬܝܐ ܡܗܪܐ ܠܝ |
6 Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ |
7 So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them?
| ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܥܒܕ ܬܒܥܬܐ ܠܓܒܘܗܝ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܡܓܪ ܪܘܚܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ |
8 I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܬܒܥܬܗܘܢ ܒܥܓܠ ܒܪܡ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܟܚ ܟܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ |
9 Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:
| ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܒܤܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܢܫ |
10 “Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
| ܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܚܕ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܟܤܐ |
11 Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be.
| ܘܗܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܚܛܘܦܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܐ ܘܓܝܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܡܟܤܐ |
12 I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.’
| ܐܠܐ ܨܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܘܡܥܤܪ ܐܢܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܩܢܐ ܐܢܐ |
13 And the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, saying: ‘O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܤܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܢܪܝܡ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܛܪܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܢܝܢܝ ܠܚܛܝܐ |
14 I say to you, this one descended to his house justified, but not the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܚܬ ܗܢܐ ܡܙܕܩ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܪܝܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܡܟܟ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܡܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ |
15 And they were bringing little children to him, so that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
| ܩܪܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܐܘ ܒܗܘܢ |
16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: “Allow the children to come to me, and do not be an obstacle to them. For of such is the kingdom of God.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ |
17 Amen, I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a child, will not enter into it.”
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ |
18 And a certain leader questioned him, saying: “Good teacher, what should I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
| ܘܫܐܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܪܫܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܪܬ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166) |
19 Then Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܛܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ |
20 You know the commandments: You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.”
| ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܘܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܗܕ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܩܪܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ |
21 And he said, “I have kept all these things from my youth.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܛܪܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ |
22 And when Jesus heard this, he said to him: “One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, and give to the poor. And then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
| ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܚܤܝܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܘܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ |
23 When he heard this, he became very sorrowful. For he was very rich.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܬܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܛܒ |
24 Then Jesus, seeing him brought to sorrow, said: “How difficult it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
| ܕܠܝܠܐ ܗܝ ܠܓܡܠܐ ܕܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
26 And those who were listening to this said, “Then who is able to be saved?”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܘܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܐ |
27 He said to them, “Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܫܟܚܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ |
28 And Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything, and we have followed you.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܒܬܪܟ |
29 And he said to them: “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has left behind home, or parents, or brothers, or a wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܫܒܩ ܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܗܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
30 who will not receive much more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
| ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܒܐܥܦܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܗܢܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܘܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) |
31 Then Jesus took the twelve aside, and he said to them: “Behold, we are ascending to Jerusalem, and everything shall be completed which was written by the prophets about the Son of man.
| ܘܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܤܠܩܝܢܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܫܬܠܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܢ ܒܢܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ |
32 For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and scourged and spit upon.
| ܢܫܬܠܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܘܢܒܙܚܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܪܩܘܢ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ |
33 And after they have scourged him, they will kill him. And on the third day, he will rise again.”
| ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܨܥܪܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ |
34 But they understood none of these things. For this word was concealed from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܐܠܐ ܡܟܤܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ |
35 Now it happened that, as he was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way, begging.
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܝܒ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܚܕ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܚܕܪ |
36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this was.
| ܘܫܡܥ ܩܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܒܪ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ |
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܥܒܪ |
38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
| ܘܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ |
39 And those who were passing by rebuked him, so that he would be silent. Yet truly, he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
| ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܕܢܫܬܘܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ |
40 Then Jesus, standing still, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had drawn near, he questioned him,
| ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܫܐܠܗ |
41 saying, “What do you want, that I might do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see.”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܚܙܐ |
42 And Jesus said to him: “Look around. Your faith has saved you.”
| ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܐܚܝܬܟ |
43 And immediately he saw. And he followed him, magnifying God. And all the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
| ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܚܙܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܡܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
