Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
A PIL kotin masani ong irail karaseras eu, me ren poden kapakap o der pangada.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
A kotin masani: Saunkapung amen mi nan kanim eu, me sota lan Kot, o sota insenoki aramas amen.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
A li odi men mi nan kanim ota, me poto dong i potoan ong: Kom kotin sauasa ia ong me kailong kin ia!
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
A a kang mas o, a kadekadeo a mongemongeloleki: Nan i sota lan Kot, o pil sota insenoki aramas,
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
A pweki li odi men et a kadiropa ia, i pan sauasa i, pwen der purodo kadiropa ia.
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
Kaun o ap kotin masani: Komail rong, me saunkapung sapung indada!
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 iaduen Kot, a sota pan kotin sauasa sapwilim a pilipildar akan, me kin likelikwir ong i ni ran o ni pong? Pala a pan kotin pwapwand?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
I indai ong komail: Nan a pan madang sauasa ir. Ari so, Nain aramas lao pwarado, da, a pan diar poson ni sappa?
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
A pil kotin karasai ong irail me kin akapungki pein irail, ap akasapungki me tei kan:
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
Aramas riamen kodala ong nan im en kaudok pwen kapakap. Amen ira Parisär, a amen saunopwei men.
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.
Parisär o kasinenda kelepela ekis wasa kapakap due met: Maing Kot, i danke ir, me i sota dueta aramas tei kan: Lolap, sapung, kamal, de dueta saunopwei men et.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
I kin kaikaisole pan riapak ni wik eu o koleireki eisokkis eu en ai kapwa karos.
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.'
A saunopwei u doo sang ekis wasa, ap sota men sarada nanlang, a a pikir maramar a indada: Maing Kot, re kotin kupura ia me dipan!
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."
I indai ong komail, ol men et kodila deu a pungala mon me teio. Pwe me kin kasapwilada pein i, pan kasapwilidi, a me kin kasapwilidi pein i pan kasapwilada,
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.
Irail ap wa dong i kisin seri kai, pwen kotin sair ir. A sapwilim a tounpadak kan lao kilanger, re ap kapoui irail.
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.
A Iesus kotin molipe ir masani: Mueid ong kisin seri kan, en kodo re i! Der kalik irail edi! Pwe irail me udan wein Kot.
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."
Melel I indai ong komail, meamen, me sota ale wein Kot rasong kisin seri men, a sota pan pedelong ong lole.
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)
A monsap amen idok re a masani: Saunpadak mau, da me i en wiada, pwen sosoki maur soutuk? (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
Iesus ari kotin masani ong i: Da me koe indaki, me I me mau? Sota me mau men, Kot eta.
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.'"
Koe kin asa kusoned akan: Koe der kamal; koe der kamela aramas; koe der pirap, koe der kinekine mal, kakaki sam om o in om!
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
I ari indada: Nan mepukat karos i kin wiawia sang ni ai tikitik kokodo.
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."
Iesus lao mangi mepukat, ap masani ong i: Me ta kis me lua, netikila om kapwa karos, o nene ong me samama kan, a om pai pan mi nanlang, ap kodo idauen ia do.
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
A lao rongadar met, ap insensuede kila melel, pwe a kapwapwa kaualap.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
A Iesus lao kotin masani, me a insensuedela, ap masani: Nan me apwal ong me kapwapwa kan, en pedelong ong nan wein Kot.
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."
Pwe me mangai, kamel en tilong nan por en dikok, sang ol kapwapwa men pedelong ong nan wein Kot.
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Irail me rongerong indada: Ari, is me kak ong maur?
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
A kotin masani: Me aramas akan so kak ong, Kot me pan kak ong.
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
Petrus ap potoan ong: Re kotin mangi, kit me likid maliela meakaros ap idauen la ir.
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,
A kotin masani ong irail: Melel I indai ong komail, nan sota me likidmaliela im a, de sam, de in a, de ri a ol akan, de a paud, de na seri kan pweki wein Kot,
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.
A kotin ukala ekriamen ko masani ong irail: Kilang, kitail kin kodalang Ierusalem, o karos pan pwaida, me intingidier ren saukop akan duen Nain aramas.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Pwe a pan pangala ren men liki kan, pwe re pan kapikapiti i o ki sang wau i, o kondipi ong i.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
O re pan woki i o kamela, a ni kasilu en ran a pan maureda.
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Irail ari sota man weweki mepukat, O masan pot et me rir sang irail. Re pil sasa, me a kotin masani.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
A kadekadeo ni a koren iong Ieriko, ol maskun amen momod pon kailan al, poekipoeki.
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
I lao rongadar pokon o me daudaulul, ap idok due.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Irail ari indang i, me Iesus men Nasaret kotin daulul.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
I ari ngil laudeda potoan ong: Iesus, sapwilim en Dawid, kotin kupura ia!
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."
A me tiong moa kidekidaue i, en nenenla: A i ap kalaudela a poekipoeki: Sapwilim en Dawid, kotin kupura ia!
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,
Iesus ap kotin udi ong wasa o, masani, ol o en wisike dong i. A lao koren iong imp a, ap kotin kainoma re a.
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
Masani: Da me koe men, I en wiai ong uk? A potoan ong: Maing, i men potoan ngarada wasa.
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
A Iesus kotin masani ong i: Kilang wasa, om poson me kakel uk ada!
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.
Ap pitipit kilangada wasa, o idauenla i, o kapinga Kot, o aramas karos, me udial met, ap kapikapinga Kot.
