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;
AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
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,
And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
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?
But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?
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?
I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;
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;
and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
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!
But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner!
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?
I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
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.
But Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these,
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
of them is the kingdom of heaven. Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
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,
The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
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.
But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!
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.
It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
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;
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha,
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;
AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
But not one of these understood they: for this word was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
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!
And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to him,
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
