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].
Ma buki we tize ta nyimo, abanga a birangara ko uya uganiya. Katti wa kuri inna dumo.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Innu gusa, “Anyumo nire nipin ure unu urusa tize ma zo meni biyau ba Aere ba dāā ma hiri anu in tice ani ce ba.
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!’]
Ure ukoro ma rani a nyimo ani pin ma ziki innu eze ahira a meme, unnu gusa, “Ben kim in kem in suri a tari ti nu ukara um.
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,
A tiye joko ma zunusu ma benki meba, kamarka tiye cin magu nice nimeme, inda zom biyau ba Asere ba nannu hira anabu gu imum ba.
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!’”
Barki ukoro ugeme ma hum nipum.
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Asere magu, “kunna imum ige sa unu rusa itize ma buki.
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].
A ana Asere mada ayen kadundere a hira anu zonka sa wa zin na so innu wui nan niye ba?
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]”
Ma buka shi agi madi e in kadundere debe. anime ani, inka vana Asere ma aye, madi kem u inko iriba a ma nyanga?
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.
Monno ma kuri mabuki tize tanyimo a ayesa wa inki iriban agi wa zi lau wa izi aye.
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.
Anu are wa ha udenge ASere abiringara, anu bezi urusa nan nu kabsa ukirfi.
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]!
Unu bezi ursa ma tonno in biringara anice nimeme, akari, anu imum ibur, anu tozoin na ney nani gu unu imum ibur, anutozo in na ney nani gu unu ukabsa ikirfi igeme.
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!’
In kee in gam ure imum are kare ka tiya tiye sunare, in nyiza udukym anyimo ukirau vatimum sa ma kem.
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]!’”
Senke unu kabsa ikirfi me, maa turi put, ma yeze aje a sere senke ma vavi nihenu ni meme, unnu gusa, Asere kunna ugogoni um una maa dini”.
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}.”
Ma gu imme, unun ugeme makuri a kura ameme lau, ma teki uroni me, barki vat unu uge sa ma yeze nice nimeme adi yeze me.
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].
Anu me wa kuri wa e inna hana cincin, barki wa dari we, senke anu tarsa wa iri waa gwarika me.
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].
Senke Yeso ma titi me, innu guna, cekini mu hana mu cincin wa e a hira am, kati ikarti weba akura Asere awe ani.
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.”
Kadundere ma bukashi, unu yesa ma nyari me ukaba a kura Asere gu vana cingilin, madaa ribe a nyimo ba.
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Ure unu ugomo ma iki me, u nyettike, indi wu aneni in kem urai wa Asere? (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]
Yeso magu imme, nyani utisam unu uriri? unu uriri mazoni senke Asere cas.
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.’”
Urusa udungurka me, kati utoti unni ney u uye ba, kati u huu uye, kati uwuzi nikari, kati u wu moco, wuza aka coo uwe me imum iriri.
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]?)”
Ugomo ma gu, “Vat timumum me ma wuzi dati innu ti nyani tum.
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!”
Sa Yeso maa kunna magu imme, imum ineisa wa dira. udi zizi vat imum sa uzin u nya anu dira, u kabi ya zesere, u e u tarsim.
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Senke sa ugomo ma kunna timumun me, ma kunna iriba kang, barki ikirfi imeme.
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].
unnu ira umeme maa kunna iriba, magu, a ikunna. Unnu ikirfi maribe akura Asere.
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].”
me inna banga ba U Pakumi uribe anyimo anije ni alira, unnu guna una kirfi ma ribe Akura Asere.
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]!”
kunna wagu, “Ani aveni madi suburka?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
makabirka, imum sa idaa hem anu ba idi hem a hira Asere.
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?]”)
magu, “Ba, ta ceki tirunga tiru vat ti tarsa we?”
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],
magu in weh, kadundere maguna si, daki uye sa ma ceki akura ameme, uney, a henu nan aka coo, nan na hana, barki akuru Asere,
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}.
ma ori anu tarsa a hira ameme, magu in we ira, ti haza urshalima, vat unyettike wa na kadura me abanga vana unubu idi Ngwinca.
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.
nya me atari alumai, Wadi Wuzi me nieru, wa nya me mu ih wa wu me tobi.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
wa maari utira ume, we hu me, rono utaru ma hiri.
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].
rusi timumum ba, a hunze Wen, daa wa rusi ba imum sa abuki ba.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Yeso ma eh mamu nan uyeriko, ure urubo ma ciki upuru una unnu nyara.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
ma kunna nigoh nanu wa aaki, ma iki,
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
izi?” Wa gu imme, Yeso u Nazeret ma aka.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Me ma Yeze nigwiran, magu, “Yeso, vana u Dauda, kuma ngogoni um”.
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!”
Sa wa haaki aje wa gwangirka urobo me, wa gu 'imme ma ingara tik. Senke ma ru aje innu hunu kang, Vana U Dauda! Kunna ugogoni um”.
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Yesu ma tonno dang ma dungurka a eh innu nu me a hira a meme.
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
U nyara u wu we?” Magu, “Una kura, in nyara in hiri a hira?”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Ma gu imme, kaba uhira, u inko iriba uwe me wa nya we ni huma.
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.
Me maa huma, matarsi me, unnu nonzo Asere. Anu vat sa wa iri, wa nonzo Asere.
