Luka 18
1 A LAILA ao mai la oia ia lakou ma ka olelonane, he pono ke pule mau, aole e hoonawauwali.
He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never 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," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for 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.
And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
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 time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for 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 she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
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, "Hear those 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?
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?
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?
Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, 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.
And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed 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," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
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, 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.
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 pay the tithe on all my gains.'
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-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.'
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 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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not 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)
The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (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?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely 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 lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
21 A i aku la oia, Ua malama au i keia mau mea a pau mai kuu wa kamalii mai.
"All of those," he replied, "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.
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."
23 A lohe ae la oia ia mea, minamina loa iho la ia; no ka mea, he nui loa kona waiwai.
But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly 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?
Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever 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.
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."
26 I iho la hoi ka poe e lohe ana, E hiki hoi ia wai la ke hoolaia?
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
27 I mai la hoi Iesu, O na mea hiki ole i kanaka, e hiki no ia i ke Akua.
"Things impossible with man," He replied, "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, "See, we have given up our homes and have 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,
"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,
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 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.
32 No ka mea, e haawiia'ku oia i kanaka e, a e hoomaewaewaia mai, a e hoomaauia mai, a e kuhaia mai hoi:
For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged 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 scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life 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
Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
35 Eia kekahi, i kona hookkoke ana i Ieriko, e noho ana kekahi makapo ma kapa alanui e nonoi ana.
As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
36 A lohe ae la i ka ahakanaka e hele ae ana, ninau mai la ia i ke ano o ia mea.
He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
37 Hai aku la no hoi lakou ia ia, e maalo ana'e o Iesu no Nazareta.
"Jesus the Nazarene 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!
Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity 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 in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity 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,
At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He 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 shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
42 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, E ike oe, ua ola oe i kou manaoio.
"Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured 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.
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.
