Luka 18
1 A LAILA ao mai la oia ia lakou ma ka olelonane, he pono ke pule mau, aole e hoonawauwali.
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2 I mai la ia, Ma kekahi kulanakauhale he lunakanawai, aole ia i makau i ke Akua, aole hoi i manao i kanaka.
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3 A ma kela kulanakauhale kekahi wahinekanemake; a hele mai la ia io na la, i mai la, E hoopono mai oe ia'u i ko'u enemi.
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Aole ae la hoi ia i makemake ia manawa; a mahope iho, i iho la oia iloko ona, Aole o'u makau i ke Akua, aole o'u manao i kanaka;
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5 Aka hoi, no ko noi nui ana mai o keia wahinekanemake ia'u, e hoopono aku au ia ia nei, o hooluhi mai ia ia'u i kona hele pinepine ana mai.
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6 I mai la hoi ka Haku, E lohe oukou i ka mea a ka lunakanawai pono ole i olelo mai ai.
And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7 A o ke Akua hoi, aole anei ia e hoopono mai i kona poe i waeia, ka poe kahea ia ia i ke ao a me ka po, me ka ahanui hoi ia lakou?
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
8 Ke hai aku nei au ia oukou, e hoopono koke mai no oia ia lakou. Aka hoi, i ka hiki ana mai o ke Keiki a ke kanaka, e ike anei oia ma ka honua ia manaoio?
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9 Alaila olelo mai la oia i keia olelonane i kekahi poe i manao ia lakou iho he maikai, a hoowahawaha aku ia hai.
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10 Hele ae la na kanaka elua i ka luakini e pule; he Parisaio kekahi, a he lunaauhau kekahi.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Ku aku la ka Parisaio oia iho no, a pule aku la penei, E ke Akua, ke aloha aku nei au ia oe, no ka mea, aole au e like me na kanaka e, ka poe hookaha, ka poe pono ole, ka poe moe kolohe, aole hoi me keia lunaauhau.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 Elua ko'u hookeai ana i ka hebedoma hookahi, ua haawi hoi au i ka hapaumi o ko'u waiwai a pau.
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 A o ka lunaauhau hoi, ku mamao aku la ia, aole hoi i leha iki kona mau maka i ka lani, aka, papai iho la ia ma kona umauma iho, i aku la, E ke Akua, e aloha mai oe ia'u i ka mea i hewa.
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14 Ke hai aku nei au ia oukou, Oia ka mea i iho i kona hale me ka hoaponoia, aole kela: no ka mea, o ka mea i hookiekie ae ia ia iho, oia ke hoohaahaaia; a o ka mea i hoohaahaa ia ia iho, oia ke hookiekieia'e.
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Alaila lawe ae la lakou i na kamalii uuku ia ia e hoopa oia ia lakou; a ike ka poe haumana, papa aku la lakou ia lakou la.
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16 Aka, kahea mai la Iesu ia lakou e hele mat, i mai la, E ae aka i na kamalii e hele mai io'a net, mai hoole aka ia lakou; no ka mea, no ka poe me neia ke aupuni o ke Akua.
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aka nei ia oukou, O ka mea aole i hoolauna i ke aupuni o ke Akua me he keiki uuku la, aole loa oia e komo ilaila.
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 Alaila ninau aka la kekahi alii ia ia, E ke Kumu maikai, heaha ka'u e hana'i i loaa mai ai ia'u ke ola pau ole. (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, No ke aha la oe i kapa mai ai ia'u he maikai? Hookahi wale no mea maikai, o ke Akua.
“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20 Ua ike hoi oe i na kanawai; Mai moe kolohe oe; Mai pepehi kanaka oe; Mai aihue oe; Mai hoike wahahee oe; E malama i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine.
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21 A i aku la oia, Ua malama au i keia mau mea a pau mai kuu wa kamalii mai.
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22 A lohe ae la o Iesu ia, i mai la oia ia ia, Hookahi au mea hemahema; e kuai lilo aku i kou waiwai a pau, a e haawi i ka poe ilihune, a e loaa ia oe ka waiwai ma ka lani; alaila e hele mai a hahai mai ia'u.
On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23 A lohe ae la oia ia mea, minamina loa iho la ia; no ka mea, he nui loa kona waiwai.
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24 Ike ae la hoi Iesu i kona minamina loa ana, i mai la ia Ane hiki ole i ka poe waiwai ke komo iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua?
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 E hiki i ke kamelo ke komo e i ka puka o ke kuikele mamua o ke komo ana o ke kanaka waiwai iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 I iho la hoi ka poe e lohe ana, E hiki hoi ia wai la ke hoolaia?
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 I mai la hoi Iesu, O na mea hiki ole i kanaka, e hiki no ia i ke Akua.
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 Alaila i aku la o Petero, Eia hoi, oa haalele makou i na mea a pau, a oa hahai aka ia oe.
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 I mai la hoi oia ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u a olelo aku nei ia oukou, O ka mea i haalele i ka hale, a me na makua, a me na hoahanau, a me ka wahine, a me na keiki no ke aupuni o ke Akua,
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
31 A lawe ae la oia i ka umikumamalua, i mai la ia lakou, Eia hoi, e pii ana kakou i Ierusalema, a e hookoia na mea a pau i kakauia e ka poe kaula no ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 No ka mea, e haawiia'ku oia i kanaka e, a e hoomaewaewaia mai, a e hoomaauia mai, a e kuhaia mai hoi:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 A e hahau mai lakou ia ia, a e pepehi mai ia ia a make; a i ke kolu o ka la, e ala hou mai ia.
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Aka, aole lakou i hoomaopopo ia mau mea; ua hunaia hoi ia lakou keia olelo, aole lakou i ike i ke ano o na mea i oleloia mai
But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35 Eia kekahi, i kona hookkoke ana i Ieriko, e noho ana kekahi makapo ma kapa alanui e nonoi ana.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 A lohe ae la i ka ahakanaka e hele ae ana, ninau mai la ia i ke ano o ia mea.
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Hai aku la no hoi lakou ia ia, e maalo ana'e o Iesu no Nazareta.
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38 Alaila kahea ae la ia, i ae la, E Iesu ke Keiki a Davida, e aloha mai oa ia'u!
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 A o ka poe e hele mua ana, papa iho la lakou ia ia e noho malie. Aka, kahea nui hou ae la ia, E ke Keiki a Davida, o aloha mai oe ia'u.
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Ku malie iho la hoi o Iesu, hookina ae la e kaiia mai io na la; a kokoke aku la, ninau mai oia ia ia,
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
41 I mai la, He aha kou makemake e hana aku ai au ia oe? I aku la hoi oia, I ike au, e ka Haku.
“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, E ike oe, ua ola oe i kou manaoio.
“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43 A ike koke iho la no ia, a hahai aku la oia ia ia, me ka hoonani aku i ke Akua: a o ka poe kanaka a pau e ike ana, hoolea aku la lakou i ke Akua.
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
