Luke 18
1 And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih, 'Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak,’ a ti nah.
4 And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself—Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te, 'Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh?,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
7 And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
8 I tell you—He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
“Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
11 The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, —extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;
Pharisee tah amah la pai tih, “Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem,
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek, 'tila thangthui.
13 But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, —would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying—O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!
Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih, 'Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah,’ a ti.
14 I tell you—This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
16 But, Jesus, called them near, saying—Suffer, the children, to be coming unto me, and do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih.
20 The commandments, thou knowest: —Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, —Honour thy father and mother,
Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
22 And Jesus, hearing, said unto him—Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in [the] heavens; and come! be following me.
A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai.
25 For it is, easier, for a camel, to enter, through the eye of a needle, than for, a rich man, to enter, into the kingdom of God.
Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
29 And, he, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you—No one, is there, who hath left—house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, —for the sake of the kingdom of God;
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih.
31 And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them—Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;
Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni.
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni,
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pauh.
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
39 And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out—O Son of David! have mercy upon me!
Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
“Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
