Luke 18
1 Na Jesus el fahk sie pupulyuk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut in akkalemye nu selos lah elos enenu in pre pacl nukewa ac tia fuhleak.
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2 “Oasr sie mwet nununku in sie siti srisrik su tiana sangeng sin God, ku akfulatye kutena mwet.
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3 Oasr pac katinmas se su muta pac in acn sac, su fahsri na mwet nununku sac ac kwafe sel elan kasrel aksuwosye lokoalok se inmasrol ac mwet se ma alein nu sel.
And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 Pacl na paht mwet nununku sac tiana oru kutu ma, na tok el sifacna nunku in el mu, ‘Nga finne tia sangeng sin God, ku sunakin kutena mwet,
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 tusruk ke lupan lokoalok mutan se inge oru nu sik, nga ac kasrel elan eis suwohs ma el suk uh. Nga fin tia, na el ac sifil pacna fahsriyu nwe ke na nga totola na sel!’”
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Porongo ma mwet nununku koluk sac fahk inge.
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Na mea, ya God El ac tia oru pac nununku lal in wo nu sin mwet lal su pang nu sel ke len ac fong in suk kasru sel? Ya El ac pahtlac in kasrelos?
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
8 Nga fahk nu suwos, El ac fah sa na in oru kasru lal nu selos. Tusruktu, ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, ya el ac konauk lulalfongi fin faclu?”
I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 Jesus el oayapa fahk pupulyuk se inge nu sin mwet su pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, ac elos pilesru mwet nukewa sayalos.
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 “Sie pacl ah mwet luo utyak nu in Tempul in pre. Sie selos mwet Pharisee, ac el ngia mwet eisani tax.
Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Mwet Pharisee sac tuyak ac mukena pre, ‘O God, nga kulo nu sum lah nga tia oana mwet ngia, su rapku ac oru ma sesuwos ac kosro. Nga kulo pac lah nga tia oana mwet eisani tax se ingo.
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 Nga lalo len luo ke wik se, ac nga sot nu sum sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa luk!’
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 A mwet eisani tax sac tu oetok ah, ac el tia pacna keyak nu lucng ke el pre, a el puok iniwal ac fahk, ‘O God, pakoten nu sik, tuh nga sie mwet koluk!’”
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, mwet eisani tax sac pa God El insewowo se ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, ac tia mwet Pharisee sac. Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal fah akfulatyeyuk.”
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
15 Kutu mwet uh use tulik srisrik natulos nu yurin Jesus tuh elan filiya paol faclos. Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos liye, elos multikin nu sin mwet ah.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
16 A Jesus el pangon tulik uh in tuku nu yorol, ac el fahk, “Lela tulik in tuku nu yuruk, ac nikmet ikololosi, tuh Tokosrai lun God ma lalos su oana elos.
But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos na su eis Tokosrai lun God oana sie tulik srisrik ac fah utyak nu we.”
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 Sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew el siyuk sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti wo, mea nga enenu in oru tuh nga fah usrui moul ma pahtpat?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Ac Jesus el siyuk sel, “Efu kom ku pangonyu wo? Wangin sie mwet wo, a God mukena.
And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
20 Kom etu ma sap uh: ‘Nik kom kosro; nik kom akmas; nik kom pisrapasr; nik kom orek loh kikiap lain mwet; sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom.’”
Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 Ac mwet sac topuk, “Nga nuna akos ma sap inge nukewa oe ke nga tulik me.”
Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 Ke Jesus el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sel, “Oasr pac ma se lula kom enenu in oru. Kukakunla ma lom nukewa ac sang mani kac an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ac fah oasr mwe kasrup lom inkusrao; na kom fahsru fahsr tukuk.”
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Tusruk ke mwet sac lohng ma inge, arulana toasrla insial, mweyen el arulana kasrup.
He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Jesus el liye lah mwet sac toasrla ac el fahk, “Arulana upa nu sin mwet kasrup in ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God!
And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Ac fisrasr soko camel in fahsr sasla ke mutun soko nilul, liki sie mwet kasrup in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Na mwet ma lohng kas ma el fahk uh siyuk, “Fin ouingan, su ac ku in moul?”
And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
27 Jesus el topuk, “Ma su kofla orek sin mwet uh, God El ku in oru.”
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Na Peter el fahk, “Liye, kut filiya ma lasr nukewa ac fahsr tukum.”
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su filiya lohm sel, ku mutan kial, ku mwet wial, ku papa tumal ac nina kial, ku tulik natul ke sripen Tokosrai lun God,
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Jesus el srela mwet singoul luo uh nu saya ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng akwoye! Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, yen se ma nukewa mwet palu elos tuh simusla ke Wen nutin Mwet ac akpwayeyuk we.
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, fahk kas koluk kacl, ac anel.
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 Elos ac fah srunglul ac unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Mwet tumal lutlut elos tiana kalem ke ma inge; kalmen kas inge wikla nu selos, ac elos tia etu ma Jesus el kaskas kac uh.
And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35 Ke Jesus el tuku apkuranyang nu Jericho, oasr mwet kun se muta sisken inkanek uh ac ngusr.
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 Ke el lohng ke un mwet uh fahsr alukella el siyuk, “Mea se inge?”
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Jesus lun Nazareth el a fahsryak ngi.”
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Mwet kun sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Jesus! Wen nutin David! Pakomutuk!”
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Mwet ma fahsr meet uh mulat nu sel ac fahk elan misla. Tusruk el wowoyak yohk liki meet, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sik!”
And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Ke ma inge Jesus el tui, ac sap in utuku mwet sac nu yorol. Ke el tuku apkuranyang, Jesus el siyuk sel,
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “Mea kom lungse nga in oru nu sum?” Ac el topuk, “Leum, nga ke nga in sifilpa ku in liye.”
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kwal, kom in liye! Lulalfongi lom akkeyekomla.”
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 In pacl sacna el ku lac in liye, ac el fahsr tukun Jesus ac sang kulo nu sin God. Ke un mwet uh liye ma inge, elos nukewa kaksakin God.
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
