Luka 18
1 A LAILA ao mai la oia ia lakou ma ka olelonane, he pono ke pule mau, aole e hoonawauwali.
And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray 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.
saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
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.
But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from 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;
And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard man,
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 bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't wear me out!’”
6 I mai la hoi ka Haku, E lohe oukou i ka mea a ka lunakanawai pono ole i olelo mai ai.
Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
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?
And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them?
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 that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the 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.
Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
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 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 and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, 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; I tithe all that I get.’
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.
The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to 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 say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he 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.
Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked 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 summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
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.
I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means 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)
A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “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.
So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
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 give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
21 A i aku la oia, Ua malama au i keia mau mea a pau mai kuu wa kamalii mai.
And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
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.
Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and 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 he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
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?
When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches 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.
It is actually easier for a camel to go 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?
So the hearers said, “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.
And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are 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.
Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed 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,
So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife 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 He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the 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 betrayed 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.
and they will scourge 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 they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
35 Eia kekahi, i kona hookkoke ana i Ieriko, e noho ana kekahi makapo ma kapa alanui e nonoi ana.
Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside 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.
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
37 Hai aku la no hoi lakou ia ia, e maalo ana'e o Iesu no Nazareta.
So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
38 Alaila kahea ae la ia, i ae la, E Iesu ke Keiki a Davida, e aloha mai oa ia'u!
Well he shouted, saying, “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 started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “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,
So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
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?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
42 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, E ike oe, ua ola oe i kou manaoio.
Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
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.
And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
