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].
Maniye hakon, Iyesus bo tahrawon jam aawo Ik' k'ono boon b́ geyituwok'owo daniyosh aryidek't hank'o ett boosh b́ keewu,
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
«Kit ikutse Ik' sharawo, ashono jitseraw naash iko fa'e b́teshi.
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!’]
Kit manitse keniyal t'owu mááts ikunu bbefo, bi naashmanok waat ‹T balangaronton t detsts moosho taash angshwe!› bi etfoni.
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,
Bíwere bish b́ k'oorrawon ayo b́ ja'a, ilmó hank'o ett bíasabi, ‹Dab Ik'o shato tk'azalor, ashono jitso t k'azalor,
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!’”
T'owu máátsan taan k'eezo bazaat taan b taahitsotse bish k'oorituwe, maniyalbako uni aawo anaanar taane b tahiyiti.› »
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Manats dabt Doonzo Iyesus hank'owa bíet, «Mor gond naashman keewtsman t'iwintsde'ere,
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].
Eshe Ik'o, t'uwe aawo kuh dek't k'oniru bí ashuwotssh angshiyalkeyá? Batarnmó boosh b́ k'alitwo jaítúwáá?
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]”
B ja'arawon karr boosh k'oorituwe etiruwe. Ernmó taa Ash Na'o aanar t woor datsatse imnetiyo datsifak'una?»
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.
Manats dabt Iyesus Ik' shuntsok'on beyiruwots noone etfetst it'fetst koshuwotsi gac'iru ashuwotssh aryidek't man b́keewu.
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.
«Git ashuwots Ik' k'onosh, Ik'i moo maants bo am. Iko ferisawiya eteyiruwo b́ wotor ikonmó t'ilish ko'ika b́tesh.
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]!
«Ferisawiya eteyiruman b́nibotse hank'o ett Ik'o b́ k'on, ‹Ik'ono! taa k'osh ashuwotskok'o bik'tsi, weral fintso, widetso wot tk'aztsosh neesh udo boree, bitsnor t'ilish ko'ifank'o wototk'aztsotse neen udere.
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!’
Taa ik gawiyotse git aawo s'oomiruwe, t daatsiru jamotse tatslo kishdek'at imiruwe.›
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]!’”
«T'ilish ko'ifmanmo wokoon need'dek't́, daromaand kááwdek' s'ilosh dab shatfetstni b́tesh, ernmó b́ kishon b́ gero k'is'fetst, ‹Ik'ono! taa morretsk tane taash maac'o k'ewowe!› bí etiri,
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}.”
Ik'i shinatse kaawu wotat b́ gal antso eshe t'ilsh ko'ifmaniye bako ferisawiya eteyirumaniyaliye etiruwe itsha, b́ tooko damb detsiru jamoniye dash oot'etwe, b́ tooko dashan detsirwonmo dambaan keshetuwe.»
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].
Ashuwots nana'o b́ shú'ituwok'o Iyesus maants dek't bowáá, b́ danif'uwots man bek't boon fayi.
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].
Iyesusmó nana'uwotsi b́ maants s'eegdek't hank'owa bíet, «Ik'i mengstu hanots k'owuwotssh b wottsotse nana'uwotsi k'ayere tmaants wonee, bazik'ayere.
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.”
Arikoniye itsh tkeewiri! Ik'i mengtu na'i marmat'ok'o wotar de'awoniye konuwor b́wotiyal bits kindratse.»
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Ayhudi naashuwotsitse iko Iyesussh, «Danif doowono, dure dur kasho daatsosh eeg k'alo taash geyifa?» ett bíaatí. (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]
Iyesuswere «Eegoshe doowono taash nietiri? Ik' ikoniyere okoon doowo konuwor aaliye.
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.’”
Nokotetwok'o bímts nemonuwotsi danfnee, boowere ‹Wido amk'aye, úd'k'aye, úmp'k'aye, kooton gawuk'aye, nindnat t nnihn mangiwe› etetsuwotsiye.»
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]?)”
Ashmanwere «Hanotsnma t naortson tuuzat kotdek're» bí et.
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!”
Iyesus man b́shishtsok'on ashmansh, «Beree ik keew nk'alituw oor fa'ane, n detsts jamo kemde b́ gizo t'owwotssh ime, darotse kakuwets gaalo daatsitune, maniye hakono waar tshutsats sha'owe» bí et.
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Ashman ayidek't gaaletsko b́ teshtsotse, man b́ shishtsok'on ayidek't shiyanb́guts.
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].
Iyesusere ashman b́shiyantsok'o bek'k'rat, hank'owo bíet, «Gaaletsosh Ik'i mengstots kindo aak'owe kic'ike!
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].”
Gaaletso Ik'i mengstots b́kindoniyere, kambulo mafi fúron b́ besho ketefe.»
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]!”
Man shishts ash jamo, «Hank'owon bere kone fal kashiti?» bo et.
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Iyesusmó, «Ashoke maawets keewo Ik'oke faleke» bí et.
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?]”)
P'et'rosuwere «Hamb́, noo no detsts jamo k'azk'rat n shuutso shoy dek' sha'erone» bí et.
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],
Iyesuswere hank'o boosh bíet, «Arikon itsh keewiruwe, Ik'i mengst jangosh ett b́ moo wee b́ máátsú wee b́ eshuwotsi wee bí indnat b́ nihn k'azts asho,
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}.
Iyesus b́ danif tatse gituwotsi b́ maants t'intsdek't hank'o bí et, «Hamb! Iyerusalem maants amishee, Ash na'o jangosh nebiyiwotsn keewets jamó manoke s'eenetwe.
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.
Bín Ik' ash woterawwots kishats beshide imetuwe, boowere bí atso s'udetuno, bíno c'ashetuno, bín aatsniytune.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Bo jod'i hakon úd'ituno, ernmó keezl aawots k'iro da'er tuwituwe.»
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].
B́ danifuwots keew jamanitse dab ikunor t'iwintsratsno, b́ keewiru keewwots biitso boosh ash bwutsitsosh eeg bíetiruwok'o danatsno.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Iyesus Iyariko maants b́ t'intsok'on ááwu dog iko weri guratse bedek't b́ k'onir b́tesh.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
B́ ganoke beshiru ay ashuwots k'aro b́ shishtsok'on «Eebi b́ naaroni?» ett bí at.
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Ash ashuwotswere «Hambe! Nazrettso Iyesus han weerone beshoke b́ fa'oni» ett bokeewu.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Mann ááwu dogo, «Dawit naay Iyesuso! oona taash maac'o k'ewowe!» ett b́ kuh.
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!”
Shin shino amiru ashuwots, «S'k eree!» ett bo fay. Bímo b́ k'aro iki bogshdek't, «Dawit naayo! oona neesha taan maruwe!» etfetst b́tesh.
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Mansh Iyesus need'dek't «T maants dowere» ett b́ keewu. Ááwu dogonwere b́waatsok'on, hank'o ett bíaat,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
«Neesh eeg tk'ale n geyi?» bí et. Ááwu dogonwere «Doonzono! bek'oshe tgeyiri» bíet.
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Iyesuswere «S'iile! n imnetiyo neen kashire» bíet.
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.
Ááwu dogonwere manoor bek'o b́fal, Ik'onowere udefere Iyesus shuutso shoy dek't b́ tuu, ash jamonuwere man bobek'tsok'on Ik'o bo udi.
