Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Yilam netenti dangke kwange ki yori kabo nyirinyir ciya kwo diloti ciya cwaretai,
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
toki, “Bitine kam'nge nii bolan'nge kam'ngenwi baniki tai kwaama, takri manito yorinubek.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Nawiye kwale kam'nge inwi bitineco, wobou cinenneu, yicoki, 'Tikanaye ka ma manob kiyeb mibonin luma tiyeu.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Inkutan'nyi mani cwiti citikanyco, dila kibwiri toki mor nerece, cano mani cwatan kwaamati, takri mami mito yorak nubekti,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
kwarub kan'nge wo nwori nawriye kwalewo kwomye, mantikameo nacifiya luma, kambo marice luwayeti kiboko minenneu.”
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Dila Tee kwaama jiki, komuwa dikero nii bolangewo manki tokkeu.
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
Lanawo kwama mani cor nubolocemboni birombo cicnen wiyeti kume kan'nge kakuke bwini citotika? Anmabwi fiye tikalicika?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Miyikomti, comcorcinen bwimicito wulom. Dilla kambo bibweni bouweri, an kwobti bilam ke nii dor bitinen”
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Yilam neten Dankewo kange nubonin birombo ciya ki dorcireu, ki cimnob lumabeb, laci cuwekamten tankne nuboti,
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
“Nubo kan'ngumbo cin doken mor lo kwama naci kwob dilo-win bwe Faricawa, wineu inni nye dotiye.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
Dila bwe Faricawa kweminti, kwodila dor dikero birombo dorcer, kwama, min buwen kang, mikebo natangne nob kwiyeb, nubo mamki cakcakeu, nubo ma burokatiyeu, kakaa namiwo yodotiye.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Mimana kyak kiriti yob mor kume niber. Mine wineuti dorkwobberonin mordike mafiya.
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
Dila niwa yodiker dorertiyeu tiken kutan, ciyabo nacikun dorcedil, dila kwa cangeang cekoti titokiki, kwaama, ci bruini bwinimito, minni bwiranke.
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Miyikombi, niwo yilaken loco fiyam cerke, kebo nawineu, cawo niwo kunderceri ciyatim yirau kico, lano niwo yiran kidor cero takeri ciyatin kumkenci.
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Dila nubo bocinenti kibi beyo naci teici, kambo nob bwankacebo to yeuri cin werankci.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Dila yeecu cuoci fiye ciwiyeu, toki, “komdob bi beyo biduwartinimbo abou fiye niwiye, kom ywacire. Liyar kwaama na kalciroce.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Bilinke miyikomti. canowo yobo liyar kwaamaro bwebi duwari, mani cadoti”.
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Kan'age dur nubere kan'nge mecoki nii meranka dike yoryore”, ye ma mati nsa fiya dume mankidike? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
Yeecu ciyaco, “Yebwi mucoye ni madike yoryoretiye? Nikange mani womadike yoryoretiyo nobons kwaama win cardi.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Mwa nyimom werfudo-mare kayaka, twaldini, kure kwii, cwerde cwerke, ne Tee mwe kan'nge Nee mwe durko”.
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
Di liyawo yiki, minmamwo kwarub kikwama min bwebwoyileu”.
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Kambo Yeecu nuwa nyeri, yico. Dikero win cwar kumwene. Miyem dike mucikeu kwarub, neken nubowe mancikeu, manfiya lo kwaama-ladina bou nwangmenten.”
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Kambo nicuwaka nuwa dikero biromberi, kan'ngum nercerobicom, wori cinni cuweka kamboken.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
Kambo Yeecu tonercoro kayommeri, lantoki, “An bwai nob cuwakab nidokin liyar kwaamar.
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Atim yilam bwarinin naa Telemeko nadoken buwak bilifarak, kan'nge ni cuweka doken liyar kwaamar.”
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Nubowa nuwa keroweu nyoki, “nokino nyori we abumtiye?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Yeecu ciya, nike lambi kwannifireu, deker makar fiye kwaama nuyeu.”
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
La Bitru intokiki, “Nwo, nyin dubom dike nyicikeu kwarub nyin bwangtennen.”
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
Yeecu nyici, Biki cwom nikan'nge nani dob locuti, kakaa wice, kaka kebcebo, kakaa Teebcebo kakaa bibiyoloceu, ker liyar kwaamar.
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Kamboci mwerci kwocilombo yoberi, nyici, “Inno, biyakenti wurcalima, kwarub dikoro ci mulan'ngi dor bi bwe niner kan'nge kang nobtoman'ngeb dukumebeb atim dim.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Ciyar nekanco kan buboko yombo kwaamau, ci buwoco, cineco dofan'nge, citwomcinen bitom.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Ciyam malico, citwalumco, ankwenum ki kume taareu”.
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Dilaciyom winwo mor dikerobirombonin, wori kerowo yuran'ngum yuran'nge fiyeciwiyeu, ci yomtenbo dikeci tokeu.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Kambo cidadom Jeriko, ri fukwa kan'nge inwo yimcun'nya nurek, kenkiniti,
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
kacinuwa kalinube cukentiyeri, lacinme nye bweitiye,
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Yeecu Banazret cuken tiye.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Dila fukmau kundir kibikwan tokkero, “Yeecu, bibwe Dauda, Cibwini mito. Dala birombo kabeu werangco, ciyicoki kumwom.
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Dila kunten diro kibi kwan kamboken inyiki, “Bibwe Dauda cibwini mito.
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
La Yeecu tim inyici ciyaboukico cinen. Kambo fukma bou bidomer, La Yeecu meco,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
ye mu cwitin mamwene? “inyiki, Tee kwaama, micwitin tofiye.”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
“Yeecu inyico, “yotoka fiyeko, bilinkemweu nirumnen.”
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
Wi dangjang fiya toka, kwangteng Yeecu, duktang kwaamati. Cito nyori, lanubo kwarub caklang kwaama.
