Ruku 18
1 Zamavesra osu maka zupa nunamu hanagu, fronka ke Jisasi'a amagema nentaza disaipol naga'a anage huno zamasami'ne,
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2 Mago rankumatera ke refkohu (jas) kva nera mani'neakino, Anumzamofonku korera nosuno, vahe'mokizmia zmagefenkami netrea nere.
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3 Magora kento ara ana rankumapina mani'nea amo, ke refko nehia kva nete eva eva nehuno, anage hu'ne. Mago vahe'mo nazeri haviza nehianki naza huo hu'ne.
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Mago'a knafina ana a'mofo kea antahi omi'neanagi, henka anage huno agesa antahine. Nagra Anumzamofonkura korera nosu'na, vahe'mokizmia zmagefenkami netroanagi,
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5 ama kento a'mo tutu hunenanteno hakare zupa evava nehuno nazeri navesra nehianki, ru evava huno nazeri naveresra hanigi aza hanue hu'ne.
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6 Ramo'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Fatgo osu ke refkohu kva nemo'ma hu'nea kegu tamagesa antahiho hu'ne.
And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7 Hanki Anumzamo'ma huhampri zmantenea vahe'mo'za, hanine zagene antahigevava nehanageno'a, fatgo avu'avara huno zavikezmia antahino zamaza osugahio?
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 Amanage hu'na neramasamue. Agra ame huno zamasu ragizmanteno zamaza hugahie. Ana hugahianagi Vahe'mofo Mofavremo'ma esuno'a, Agra ama mopafi vahe'mofo zamentintia eme zamagegahifi eme ozamagegahie?
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 Mago'ane fronka kea huno, zamagrazmigu antahi'za tagra fatgo vahe mani'none nehu'za, ruga'amo'za knare osu vahe mani'naze hu'za zamagefenkami netrazamokizmi zamasami'ne,
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10 Tare netremoke nunamu hunaku ra mono nompi mareri'na'e. Magora Farisi nere, magora takisi zago e'neria nere.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Farisi ne'mo'a otineno anage huno agra'agu nunamu hu'ne. Anumzamoka Nagra susu huna muse nehue, mago'a vaheknama osu'na havige huno musufa nesea vaheknara nosuna, kefoza nehaza vahekna osu'na, arave netanaza vahekna nosuna, ama takesi zago eneria ne'kna osu'noe.
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 Maka sontamofo agu'afina tare zupa ne'zana a'o nehu'na, maka'zama atrena zagoma erufintira, 10ni'a kevufintira musezana mago kevu refko huna Anumzamoka negamue.
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 Hianagi takisi zagoma e'neria ne'mo ogantu otino manino monafinka kesga huno nonkeno, kepri huno amimizare nemasagino amanage hu'ne. Kumike vahe mani'noanki Anumzamoka kasuntaginanto huno hu'ne!
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 Amanage hu'na neramasamue, takisi eneria ne'mo'a Farisi ne'mofona agetereno Anumzamofo avurera fatgo huteno noma'arega vu'ne. Na'ankure agra avufga erisagama hanimofona, Anumzamo'a azeri fenka atregahie. Hianagi iza'o avufama anteramisimofona, Anumzamo'a azeri sga hugahie.
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 Mago'a veamo'za ne'one mofavre'zmia Jisasi zamufare zmavako nehuno, asomu ke huzmantenogu zamavare'za neage'za, amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za nege'za, ke zamasu'naze.
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 Hianagi Jisasi'a mofavreramina ke hige'za Agrite azageno amagema nentaza disaipol nagara zamagi huno zamasmi'ne, Zamatrenke'za ne'one mofavreramina Nagrite eho. Kazmia renkanire ozmanteho. Na'ankure Anumzamofo Kumara, e'inahu vahe'mokizmi kuma me'ne.
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 Tamage hu'na neramasmue, iza'zo ama mofavre'mo'za enerizankna hu'za Anumzamofo Kumama e'orisamo'za, uofregahaze.
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 Mago afufenone kva ne'mo'a amanage huno Jisasina antahige'ne, Knare Rempi Hurami Ne'moke, nankna hute'na mani vava asimura erigahue? (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Higeno Jisasi'a anage huno kenona ana ne'mofona asmi'ne, Na'a higenka Nagrikura knare hu'nane hunka nehane? Mago vahe'mo'a knarera osu'neanki, Anumzana magokemo knarera hu'ne.
“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20 Hanki kagra kasegea antahinane, rumofo aro vea avazu osuo. Vahera aheofrio. Maka'zana musufa oso. Ru vahe'mofonkura havigea huonto. Negrerane negafane keznia erizafa huo, hu'nea kea antahinane. Huno Jisasi'a higeno, (Eks-Ati 20:12-16, Diu-Kas 5:16-20)
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 ana kva ne'mo'a mofavre mani'na enoregatira ana mika kesegea amage ante'na e'noe, huno higeno,
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22 Jisasi'a ana ke antahiteno amanage huno ana ne'mofona asmi'ne, Mago zantfa atupara hu'nane, maka zanka'a zagore atrenka zago erinka, zamunte omne vahe nezamigeno, monafi fenonka'a mesigenka enka eme namage anto.
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 Hianagi ama ana naneke nentahino, rimpagna afufenoma'agura hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi'a afufeno antenegu ana hu'ne.
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24 Jisasi'a ana nemofo negeno anage hu'ne, Fenozmine vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo Kumapima vunaku'ma hanazana tusi'a maraguzatigahaze!
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Na'ankure kemorimo'za fru hu'za nekazamofo kampina ufregahazanagi, afufenone vahe'mo'za tusi'a maraguzati'za Anumzamofo Kumapina ufregahaze.
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 Anampi mani'naza vahe'mo'za ana ne'kuma asamia kema nentahiza, hagi iza manivava asimura erigahie hu'za antahige'naze?
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Hianagi Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Maka'zama vahe'mota osugazana, Anumzamo'a amne hugahie higeno,
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 Pita'a amanage huno hu'ne. Ko, mika zantia atreta, Kagri kamage anteta neone.
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 Higeno Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Tamage hu'na neramasamue, magomo'a noma'o nenarono, afu aganano, nererano nefano, mofavre'ama Anumzamofo Kumaku'ma huno atresimo'a,
“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 Jisasi'a 12fu'a amage'nentaza disaipol naga'a zmavrekanti anteno, anage huno zamasami'ne, Antahiho, Tagra Jerusalemi kumate marerita vanunkeno, maka kema kasnampa vahe'mo'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavregu hu'za kre'naza kemofo avufa'a fore hugahie.
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 Na'ankure megi'a vahe zamazampi avare amisageno, azanva ke hunente'za, azeri haviza nehu'za, avetu ahentegahaze.
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Ana nehu'za, sefu amite'za, ahefrisageno friteno, ete tagufa knazupa otigahie.
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Hianagi amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za fritena otigahue hiankemofo agafa'amo'a frakino oku'a me'nege'za, ana kemofo agafa'a antahi amara osu'naze.
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 Jisasi'ma Jeriko kumate vugofa nehigeno, mago avusuhu ne'mo kamofo ankenarega meme nehuno mani'neno,
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 antahigeno rama'a vahe enevazageno, naza fore nehie? huno zmantahigege'za,
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 zamagra asami'za, Nazareti kumateti ne' Jisasi enevie nehazageno,
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38 Ranke huno kezatino, Jisasio Deviti Nemofoga kasuntginanto! Higeno,
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 kotama vaza vahe'mo'za ana ke nentahi'za kesu'za, kea osunka kagira hamunkinka manio hu'naze. Hianagi mago'ane kezatino, Deviti Nemofoga kasuntginanto!
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 Jisasi'a neviretira anante uotino, kehinkeno eno hige'za, ana nera ome avare'za erava'o hazageno, anage huno antahige'ne.
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
41 Na'a huganteku hugenka nehane? Higeno, Ramoka ete navua keso'e hanuegu nehue!
“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42 Higeno Jisasi'a anage huno asmi'ne. Kamentintimo kazeri hari hianki kavua ko higeno,
“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43 avurgamo'a ame huno anante hari higeno, ete knare huno negeno, Jisasina amage'anteno nevuno, Anumzamofo agi erisaga nehige'za, miko vahe'mo'za nege'za zamagranena Anumzamofo agi erisaga hu'naze.
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
