Luke 18
1 And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún wọn láti fi yé wọn pe, ó yẹ kí a máa gbàdúrà nígbà gbogbo, kí a má sì ṣàárẹ̀.
2 Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
Wí pé, “Onídàájọ́ kan wà ní ìlú kan, tí kò bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, tí kò sì ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn.
3 And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
Opó kan sì wà ní ìlú náà, ó sì ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wí pé, ‘Gbẹ̀san mi lára ọ̀tá mi!’
4 And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
“Lákọ̀ọ́kọ́ kò dá a lóhùn, ṣùgbọ́n níkẹyìn ó wí nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Bí èmi kò tilẹ̀ bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, tí èmi kò sì ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn,
5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí opó yìí ń yọ mí lẹ́nu, èmi ó gbẹ̀san rẹ̀, kí ó má ba à fi wíwá rẹ̀ nígbàkígbà dá mi lágara.’”
6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Olúwa sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ bí aláìṣòótọ́ onídàájọ́ ti wí!
7 And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
Ọlọ́run kì yóò ha sì gbẹ̀san àwọn àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ń fi ọ̀sán àti òru kígbe pè é, tí ó sì mú sùúrù fún wọn?
8 I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
Mo wí fún yín, yóò gbẹ̀san wọn kánkán! Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn bá dé yóò ha rí ìgbàgbọ́ ní ayé bí?”
9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
Ó sì pa òwe yìí fún àwọn kan tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ara wọn pé, àwọn ni olódodo, tí wọ́n sì ń gan àwọn ẹlòmíràn,
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili láti gbàdúrà, ọ̀kan jẹ́ Farisi, èkejì sì jẹ́ agbowó òde.
11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
Èyí Farisi dìde, ó sì ń gbàdúrà nínú ara rẹ̀ báyìí pé, ‘Ọlọ́run mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ, nítorí tí èmi kò rí bí àwọn ará ìyókù, àwọn alọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà, aláìṣòótọ́, panṣágà, tàbí bí agbowó òde yìí.
12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
Èmi ń gbààwẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀méjì ní ọ̀sẹ̀, mo ń san ìdámẹ́wàá ohun gbogbo tí mo ní.’
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
“Ṣùgbọ́n agbowó òde dúró lókèèrè, kò tilẹ̀ jẹ́ gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ó lu ara rẹ̀ ní oókan àyà, ó wí pé, ‘Ọlọ́run ṣàánú fún mi, èmi ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀!’
14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
“Mo wí fún yín, ọkùnrin yìí sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ̀ ní ìdáláre ju èkejì lọ: nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, òun ni a ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ẹni tí ó bá sì rẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ òun ni a ó gbéga.”
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
Wọ́n sì gbé àwọn ọmọ ọwọ́ tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú, kí ó lè gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ rí i, wọ́n ń bá wọn wí.
16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu pè wọ́n sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ kékeré wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, ẹ má sì ṣe dá wọn lẹ́kun, nítorí tí irú wọn ni ìjọba Ọlọ́run.
17 Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá gbà ìjọba Ọlọ́run bí ọmọ kékeré, kì yóò wọ inú rẹ̀ bí ó ti wù kí ó rí.”
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
Ìjòyè kan sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, wí pé, “Olùkọ́ rere, kín ni èmi ó ṣe tí èmi ó fi jogún ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
Jesu wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń pè mí ní ẹni rere? Ẹni rere kan kò sí bí kò ṣe ẹnìkan, èyí sì ni Ọlọ́run.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
Ìwọ mọ̀ àwọn òfin: ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe jalè, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe jẹ́rìí èké, bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba àti ìyá rẹ.’”
21 Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
Ó sì wí pé, “Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi ti pamọ́ láti ìgbà èwe mi wá.”
22 Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Nígbà tí Jesu sì gbọ́ èyí, ó wí fún un pé, “Ohun kan ni ó kù fún ọ síbẹ̀: lọ ta ohun gbogbo tí o ní, kí o sì pín in fún àwọn tálákà, ìwọ ó sì ní ìṣúra ní ọ̀run: sì wá, kí o máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.”
23 He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
Nígbà tí ó sì gbọ́ èyí, inú rẹ̀ bàjẹ́ gidigidi, nítorí tí ó ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
24 And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
Nígbà tí Jesu rí i pé inú rẹ̀ bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ó wí pé, “Yóò ti ṣòro tó fún àwọn tí ó ní ọrọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba Ọlọ́run!
25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Nítorí ó rọrùn fún ìbákasẹ láti gba ojú abẹ́rẹ́ wọlé jù fún ọlọ́rọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba Ọlọ́run lọ.”
26 And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
Àwọn tí ó sì gbọ́ wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ó ha lè là?”
27 He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ohun tí ó ṣòro lọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn kò ṣòro lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
28 Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
Peteru sì wí pé, “Sá wò ó, àwa ti fi ilé wa sílẹ̀, a sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn!”
29 Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, kò sí ẹni tí ó fi ilé, tàbí aya, tàbí ará, tàbí òbí, tàbí ọmọ sílẹ̀, nítorí ìjọba Ọlọ́run,
31 Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
Nígbà náà ni ó pe àwọn méjìlá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Sá wò ó, àwa ń gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, a ó sì mú ohun gbogbo ṣẹ, tí a ti kọ láti ọwọ́ àwọn wòlíì, nítorí Ọmọ Ènìyàn.
32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
Nítorí tí a ó fi lé àwọn aláìkọlà lọ́wọ́, a ó fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, a ó sì fi ṣe ẹ̀sín, a ó sì tutọ́ sí i lára.
33 And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
Wọn ó sì nà án, wọn ó sì pa á, ní ọjọ́ kẹta yóò sì jíǹde.”
34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
Ọ̀kan nínú nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò sì yé wọn, ọ̀rọ̀ yìí sì pamọ́ fún wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì mọ ohun tí a wí.
35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
Bí ó ti súnmọ́ Jeriko, afọ́jú kan jókòó lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà ó ń ṣagbe.
36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ tí ọ̀pọ̀ ń kọjá lọ, ó béèrè pé, kín ni ìtumọ̀ èyí.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Jesu ti Nasareti ni ó ń kọjá lọ.”
38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
Ó sì kígbe pé, “Jesu, ìwọ ọmọ Dafidi, ṣàánú fún mi!”
39 And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
Àwọn tí ń lọ níwájú bá a wí, pé, kí ó pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n òun sì kígbe sókè sí í pé, “Ìwọ Ọmọ Dafidi, ṣàánú fún mi!”
40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
Jesu sì dúró, ó ní, kí á mú un tọ òun wá nígbà tí ó sì súnmọ́ ọn, ó bi í
41 Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń fẹ́ kí èmi ṣe fún ọ?” Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa jẹ́ kí èmi ríran.”
42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Ríran; ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ mú ọ láradá.”
43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
Lójúkan náà ó sì ríran, ó sì ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, ó sì ń yin Ọlọ́run lógo àti gbogbo ènìyàn nígbà tí wọ́n rí i, wọ́n fi ìyìn fún Ọlọ́run.
