Luke 18
1 And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,
Kawboet kaana cykcah poepa aham awm hy tice ami simnaak aham Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh nyhtahnaak awi pynoet kqawn peek khqi hy.
2 saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
A mingmih a venawh: “Khaw pynoet awh Khawsa awm amak kqih, thlanghqing awm kawna amak ngai awidengkung thlang pynoet ce awm hy.
3 But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
Ce a khawk khuiawh nuhai pynoet awm nawh, cawhkaw awidengkung a venawh, ‘Ka qaal ingkaw kai anglakawhkaw awi ve am dyng na kqawn law lah,’ tinawh cet poepa nawh qeennaak thoeh hy.
4 And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard man,
Iqyt num taw am ngai am loek na hy. Cehlai a hu na taw poek quhy, ‘Khawsa awm ap kqih nyng saw thlanghqing awm kawna am ngai pai hlai nyng,
5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't wear me out!’”
vawhkaw nuhai ing ni ngeu ni lawn khing kaw ve, awihdyng kqawn pe hlah mai vang nyng, cawh ni am law qoe voel kawmsaw a mani ngeu ama ni lawn hly hy,’ tihy” tinak khqi hy.
6 Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
Cekcoengawh Bawipa ing, “Amak thym awidengkung ak awi ve ngai lah uh.
7 And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them?
A venawh khawmthan khawdai ko ang kqang doena ak cykcah, amah ing ak tyh thlangkhqi aham Khawsa ing am dyng na awi am deng kawm nu? A mingmih ce awm hly taak dym nawh nu?
8 I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ing awi ang tawnna deng kaw. Cehlai thlanghqing Capa a law awh, khawmdek awh cangnaak ak hu hly hyn hy voei nu? tihy.
9 Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
Amah am dyngnaak ypna nawh thlang ak husitkhqi venawh, vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Thlang pakkhih taw cykcah aham bawkim na cet hy nih. Pynoet taw Farasi thlang na awm nawh pynoet taw mangmu ak cawikung na awm hy.
11 The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Farasi thlang taw dyi nawh vemyihna cykcah hy: “Khawsa, kai taw quk-aikhqi, thawlhnaak ak saikhqi, samphaihkhqi ingkaw vawhkaw mangmu ak cawikung amyihna awm am ka awm a dawngawh, na venawh zeel nyng.
12 I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’
Khaw khqih nyn khuiawh buh hih voei ka zeih coengawh ka huh boeih ak khuiawh pahqa pynoet ak thym cana pe nyng,’ tihy.
13 The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
Cehlai mangmu ak cawikung taw ak hla na dyi hoer nawh, khan benna awm am mang hqa hy, ak kqang pung nawh, ‘Bawipa, kai thlakthawlh ve nim qeen lah,’ tinawh cykcah hy.
14 I say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cawhkaw thlang ing Khawsa haiawh dyngnaak ce hu nawh im na voei hy. U awm amah ingkaw amah ak zoeksang qu taw ak kaina nung tla kaw, cehlai ak kaina ak awm ing ce zoeksangnaak hu kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
15 Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Thlangkhqi ing naasenkhqi ce Jesu ing a bi aham a venawh law pyi uhy. A hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh, thlangkhqi ce zyi uhy.
16 But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
Cehlai Jesu ing naasenkhqi ce a venna ak khy coengawh, “Naasenkhqi, ka venna law sak uh, koeh hqek u, kawtih Khawsa qam taw vemyih ak thlangkhqi ham ni.
17 I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam ce naasen amyihna amak do taw ak khuiawh am kun thai kaw,’ tinak khqi hy.
18 A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Ukkung thlang pynoet ing, “Cawngpuikung leek, kumqui hqingnaak ka pangnaak thai aham ikaw ka sai hly.” tina hy. (aiōnios g166)
19 So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
Jesu ing, “Ikawtih leek hy nani tinaak? Khawsa doeng am taw u awm am leek hy.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
Awipeekkhqi sim tiksaw kaw: ‘Koeh samphaih, thlang koeh him, koeh qu, amak thym dyihthing na koeh dyi, na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah,’ a tice ti,” tina hy.
21 And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
Anih ing, “Vemihkhqi boeih ve ka naasen awhkawng ni ka sai hawh,” tina hy.
22 Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Ce ak awi ce Jesu ing ang zaak awh, a venawh, “Pynoet voet hun hyk ti. Na taakkhqi boeih ce zawi nawhtaw hahqahkhqi venawh pe, cawhtaw khawk khan awh them ta kawp ti. Cekcoengawh ka hu awh bat law,” tina hy.
23 But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, anih ce boei thlang na a awm dawng awh, ak kaw a boe na se hy.
24 When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!
Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh, “Boei thlangkhqi ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak aham ikawmyih aih na a kyinaak ve!
25 It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Boei thlang ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak anglakawhtaw kalauk ing kqym ak khuiawh a kun mantaw zoei bet kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
26 So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”
Ce ak awi ak zakhqi ing, “U ing nu thawngnaak a huh hly lawk hy voei?” ti uhy.
27 And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Jesu ing, “Thlanghqing aham amak coeng thai ce Khawsa ham taw coeng thai hy,” tinak khqi hy.
28 Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”
Piter ing a venawh, “Kaimih ingtaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih cehta unyng saw na hu awh bat unyng ve!” tina hy.
29 So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
Jesu ing a mingmih na ce, “Awitaak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam dawngawh a im aw, a zu aw, a koeinaa aw, a cakhqi aw ama cehtaak awhtaw
31 Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:
Jesu ing a hubat Thlanghqa hlaihih ce ak chang na cehpyi nawh, “Tawngha khqi ing, Thlanghqing Capa akawng ami na qeekhqi boeih ce a soepnaak aham, ningnih ve Jerusalem na ni cet kawm uh.
32 He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,
Anih ce Gentelkhqi kut awh pe kawm uh. Raih na kawm uh, the a kha na kawm uh, sawh a phih kawm uh, vyk kawm usaw him kawm uh.
33 and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
Cehlai am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
34 But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
Vawhkaw awi ak kqawnkhqi ve a hubatkhqi ing pynoet ca awm am zasim uhy. Ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce a thuh hyn dawngawh, ikawk awi aw ak kqawn hy voei, ti awm am sim uhy.
35 Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.
Jeriko khaw ce Jesu ing a pha tawm awh, mikhyp thlang pynoet taw lam a keng awh ngawi nawh kut dun hy.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
Thlangkhqi a ceh tyn awi ce ang zaak awh, thlangkhqi ce doet hy.
37 So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
Thlangkhqi ing, Nazareth khaw awhkaw Jesu law hy, tina hy.
38 Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Cawh anih ing, “David Capa, Jesu, kai ve nim qeen lah,” tinawh khy hy.
39 Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Lam ak khul kungkhqi ing awm dym aham kaa na uhy, cehlai, David Capa, kai ve nim qeen lah, tinawh khy khqoet hy.
40 So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
Cawh Jesu ing dyi cat nawh, cawhkaw thlang ce a venna sawi aham kqawn pehy. Jesu a ven a pha awh,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
“Kaw sai sak aham nu na ni ngaih? tina hy. Anih ing, “Bawipa, ka mik a dai aham ngaih nyng,” tina hy.
42 Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
Jesu ing a venawh, “Na mik dang hlah seh, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy,” tina hy.
43 And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
Cawh a mik ce dai pe pahoei hy, Jesu a hu awh bat nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy. Thlangkhqi ing ami huh awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
