Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
Kawboet kaana cykcah poepa aham awm hy tice ami simnaak aham Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh nyhtahnaak awi pynoet kqawn peek khqi hy.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
A mingmih a venawh: “Khaw pynoet awh Khawsa awm amak kqih, thlanghqing awm kawna amak ngai awidengkung thlang pynoet ce awm hy.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
Ce a khawk khuiawh nuhai pynoet awm nawh, cawhkaw awidengkung a venawh, ‘Ka qaal ingkaw kai anglakawhkaw awi ve am dyng na kqawn law lah,’ tinawh cet poepa nawh qeennaak thoeh hy.
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
Iqyt num taw am ngai am loek na hy. Cehlai a hu na taw poek quhy, ‘Khawsa awm ap kqih nyng saw thlanghqing awm kawna am ngai pai hlai nyng,
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
vawhkaw nuhai ing ni ngeu ni lawn khing kaw ve, awihdyng kqawn pe hlah mai vang nyng, cawh ni am law qoe voel kawmsaw a mani ngeu ama ni lawn hly hy,’ tihy” tinak khqi hy.
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
Cekcoengawh Bawipa ing, “Amak thym awidengkung ak awi ve ngai lah uh.
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
A venawh khawmthan khawdai ko ang kqang doena ak cykcah, amah ing ak tyh thlangkhqi aham Khawsa ing am dyng na awi am deng kawm nu? A mingmih ce awm hly taak dym nawh nu?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ing awi ang tawnna deng kaw. Cehlai thlanghqing Capa a law awh, khawmdek awh cangnaak ak hu hly hyn hy voei nu? tihy.
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
Amah am dyngnaak ypna nawh thlang ak husitkhqi venawh, vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy:
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
Thlang pakkhih taw cykcah aham bawkim na cet hy nih. Pynoet taw Farasi thlang na awm nawh pynoet taw mangmu ak cawikung na awm hy.
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
Farasi thlang taw dyi nawh vemyihna cykcah hy: “Khawsa, kai taw quk-aikhqi, thawlhnaak ak saikhqi, samphaihkhqi ingkaw vawhkaw mangmu ak cawikung amyihna awm am ka awm a dawngawh, na venawh zeel nyng.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
Khaw khqih nyn khuiawh buh hih voei ka zeih coengawh ka huh boeih ak khuiawh pahqa pynoet ak thym cana pe nyng,’ tihy.
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
Cehlai mangmu ak cawikung taw ak hla na dyi hoer nawh, khan benna awm am mang hqa hy, ak kqang pung nawh, ‘Bawipa, kai thlakthawlh ve nim qeen lah,’ tinawh cykcah hy.
14 "I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cawhkaw thlang ing Khawsa haiawh dyngnaak ce hu nawh im na voei hy. U awm amah ingkaw amah ak zoeksang qu taw ak kaina nung tla kaw, cehlai ak kaina ak awm ing ce zoeksangnaak hu kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
Thlangkhqi ing naasenkhqi ce Jesu ing a bi aham a venawh law pyi uhy. A hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh, thlangkhqi ce zyi uhy.
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
Cehlai Jesu ing naasenkhqi ce a venna ak khy coengawh, “Naasenkhqi, ka venna law sak uh, koeh hqek u, kawtih Khawsa qam taw vemyih ak thlangkhqi ham ni.
17 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam ce naasen amyihna amak do taw ak khuiawh am kun thai kaw,’ tinak khqi hy.
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
Ukkung thlang pynoet ing, “Cawngpuikung leek, kumqui hqingnaak ka pangnaak thai aham ikaw ka sai hly.” tina hy. (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
Jesu ing, “Ikawtih leek hy nani tinaak? Khawsa doeng am taw u awm am leek hy.
20 You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
Awipeekkhqi sim tiksaw kaw: ‘Koeh samphaih, thlang koeh him, koeh qu, amak thym dyihthing na koeh dyi, na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah,’ a tice ti,” tina hy.
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
Anih ing, “Vemihkhqi boeih ve ka naasen awhkawng ni ka sai hawh,” tina hy.
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
Ce ak awi ce Jesu ing ang zaak awh, a venawh, “Pynoet voet hun hyk ti. Na taakkhqi boeih ce zawi nawhtaw hahqahkhqi venawh pe, cawhtaw khawk khan awh them ta kawp ti. Cekcoengawh ka hu awh bat law,” tina hy.
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, anih ce boei thlang na a awm dawng awh, ak kaw a boe na se hy.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh, “Boei thlangkhqi ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak aham ikawmyih aih na a kyinaak ve!
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
Boei thlang ing Khawsa qam khuiawh a kunnaak anglakawhtaw kalauk ing kqym ak khuiawh a kun mantaw zoei bet kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Ce ak awi ak zakhqi ing, “U ing nu thawngnaak a huh hly lawk hy voei?” ti uhy.
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
Jesu ing, “Thlanghqing aham amak coeng thai ce Khawsa ham taw coeng thai hy,” tinak khqi hy.
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
Piter ing a venawh, “Kaimih ingtaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih cehta unyng saw na hu awh bat unyng ve!” tina hy.
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
Jesu ing a mingmih na ce, “Awitaak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm Khawsa qam dawngawh a im aw, a zu aw, a koeinaa aw, a cakhqi aw ama cehtaak awhtaw
31 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Jesu ing a hubat Thlanghqa hlaihih ce ak chang na cehpyi nawh, “Tawngha khqi ing, Thlanghqing Capa akawng ami na qeekhqi boeih ce a soepnaak aham, ningnih ve Jerusalem na ni cet kawm uh.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Anih ce Gentelkhqi kut awh pe kawm uh. Raih na kawm uh, the a kha na kawm uh, sawh a phih kawm uh, vyk kawm usaw him kawm uh.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
Cehlai am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Vawhkaw awi ak kqawnkhqi ve a hubatkhqi ing pynoet ca awm am zasim uhy. Ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce a thuh hyn dawngawh, ikawk awi aw ak kqawn hy voei, ti awm am sim uhy.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
Jeriko khaw ce Jesu ing a pha tawm awh, mikhyp thlang pynoet taw lam a keng awh ngawi nawh kut dun hy.
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
Thlangkhqi a ceh tyn awi ce ang zaak awh, thlangkhqi ce doet hy.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Thlangkhqi ing, Nazareth khaw awhkaw Jesu law hy, tina hy.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Cawh anih ing, “David Capa, Jesu, kai ve nim qeen lah,” tinawh khy hy.
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
Lam ak khul kungkhqi ing awm dym aham kaa na uhy, cehlai, David Capa, kai ve nim qeen lah, tinawh khy khqoet hy.
40 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
Cawh Jesu ing dyi cat nawh, cawhkaw thlang ce a venna sawi aham kqawn pehy. Jesu a ven a pha awh,
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
“Kaw sai sak aham nu na ni ngaih? tina hy. Anih ing, “Bawipa, ka mik a dai aham ngaih nyng,” tina hy.
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
Jesu ing a venawh, “Na mik dang hlah seh, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy,” tina hy.
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Cawh a mik ce dai pe pahoei hy, Jesu a hu awh bat nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy. Thlangkhqi ing ami huh awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
