Luke 18
1 Ek din Jisu pora chela khan ke dristanto pora hikaise kineka taikhan prathana kori thakibo lage aru kitia bhi mon chutu nokorile lage.
[Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
2 Aru koise, “Ekta sheher te ekjon niyom chola manu thakise aru tai Isor ke bhoi nakore aru manu khan ke bhi hisab nakore.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
3 Aru etu sheher te ekta bidhowa mahila thakise, aru tai, etu manu usorte hodai ahi thake, aru koi, ‘Moi laga dushman khan logot pora moike niyai dibi.’
There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
4 Bisi din pora tai etu mahila laga kaam kori dibo mon thaka nai, kintu etu mahila bisi kowa nimite tai nijorke koise, ‘Moi Isor ke bhoi nakore aru manu ke hisab nakore,
For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
5 kintu etu mahila moike hodai digdar diya nimite, moi tai nimite niyai kori dibo, eneka kori dile tai aru hodai ahi kene moike digdar nokorile.’”
but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
6 Titia Probhu pora aru koise, “Huni bhi etu thik nathaka ukil pora ki koise.
Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
7 Etiya Isor junke bachai loise taike sajai nadibo naki? Jun tai usorte din aru rati kandi thake? Taikhan laga kotha hunibo nimite deri rukhi thakibo naki?
[Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
8 Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, tai joldi pora niyai to ani dibo. Jitia Manu laga Putro ahibo, Tai etu duniya te biswas pabo na napabo?”
But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
9 Aru Tai etu dristanto bhi koise jun taikhan nijorke dharmik manu ase koi thake aru dusra ke ghin kori thake,
[Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
10 “Duijon manu prathana kori bole nimite jaise- ekjon Pharisee, aru ekjon poisa utha manu.
[He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
11 Aru Pharisee to tai alag phale khara kori kene tai nijor logote eneka prathana kori thakise, ‘Isor, moi Apnike dhanyavad di ase moi dusra manu khan nisena nohoi- chor, biya manu, paap kaam kori kene thaka manu aru poisa utha manu khan nisena bhi nohoi.
The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
12 Moi hapta te duibar upwas loi. Moi ki pai etu laga dos bhag bhi diye.’
[Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
13 Kintu poisa utha manu, durte khara kori kene, tai nijor matha bhi sorgo phale sa nai, kintu tai laga chati to marikena prathana korise, ‘Isor, moi uporte daya koribi, moi paapi manu.’
But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
14 Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, etu Pharisee, jun poisa utha manu thakise, tai Isor usorte mohima paikena nijor ghor te jaise. Kelemane jun manu tai nijorke untcha uthabole bisare tai chutu hoi jabo, kintu jun manu nijorke chutu kore taike uthai dibo.”
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
15 Ek din kunba manu khan Jisu usorte bacha khan ke loi kene anise, Jisu laga hath taikhan uporte dikene asirbad dibole nimite. Kintu jitia chela khan pora etu dikhise, taikhan ke ahibo diya nai.
[One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
16 Kintu Jisu taikhan ke matise aru koise, “Chutu bacha khan ke Moi usorte ahibo dibi, aru taikhan ke narukhabi. Kelemane Isor laga rajyo to taikhan nisena nimite ase.
But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
17 Moi hosa pora tumikhan ke koi ase, jun pora ekta bacha nisena hoi kene Isor rajyo ke swekar nakore, tai ji hoilebi ta te gusibo na paribo.”
Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
18 Aru ekjon Yehudi cholawta manu Taike hudise, “Bhal hikhok, moi anonto jibon pabo nimite ki koribo lage?” (aiōnios g166)
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Titia Jisu taike jowab dise, “Moike kele bhal koi ase? Kun bhi bhal nai, khali Isor he bhal ase.
Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
20 Isor laga niyom tumikhan jane bebichar nokorile, manu ke nomorabi, chor nokoribi, manu laga misa kotha nokobi, baba, ama ke morom koribi.”
[But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
21 Kintu cholawta manu he koise, “Moi jawan pora etu sob manikena ahise.”
The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
22 Jitia Jisu tai kowa kotha hunise, Tai koise, “Ekta kotha etiya bhi tumi mana nai: Tumi laga ki ase etu sob bikiri kori dibi aru gorib khan ke bhag kori dibi, titia tumi laga dhun sompoti sorgote thakibo- aru Moi laga pichete ahibi.”
When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
23 Jitia cholawta manu Jisu laga kotha hunise, tai bisi mon dukh paise kele koile tai bisi dhuni manu thakise.
The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
24 Titia Jisu taike saikene koise, “Dhuni manu sorgote jabole kiman digdar ase!
Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
25 Biji laga chenda pora ekta uth jabole asan ase, hoilebi dhuni manu Isor laga rajyote jabole nimite asani nohoi.
[You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Jun etu kotha hunise taikhan koise, “Tinehoile kun he poritran pabo?”
[The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
27 Kintu Jisu koise, “Juntu kaam manu napare, Isor he pare.”
But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
28 Titia Peter he koise, “Sabi amikhan sob chari kene Apuni laga piche ahise.”
Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
29 Titia Jisu taikhan ke koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke koi ase jun manu tai laga ghor, maiki, bhai, ama, baba, bacha ke Isor laga rajyo nimite charise,
He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
31 Titia Tai baroh jonke alag kori kene koise, “Sabi, amikhan Jerusalem te jabo, aru bhabobadi khan pora Manu laga Putro nimite Isor kotha ki likhise, etu sob purah hobole ase.
[Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
32 Karone Taike Porjati khan hathte di dibo, aru Taike bodnam koribo, aru bisi sorom khila bo, aru Tai uporte thuk phelabo.
I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
33 Aru Taike chabuk pora maribo, aru morai dibo, aru tisra dinte, Tai aru bhi jee uthijabo.”
They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
34 Kintu chela khan etu kotha bujhi panai, aru etu kotha taikhan pora lukai rakhise, aru ki kotha koise etu bujhi bo para nai.
But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
35 Etiya eneka hoise, jitia Jisu Jericho sheher te ahise, ekjon andha manu rasta kinar te bohi kene bhik mangi thakise.
As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
36 Tai manu khan hala kori kene jai thaka to hunise, tai hudise etu ki hoi ase.
When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
37 Taikhan andha manu ke koise, “Nazareth laga Jisu etu rasta pora jai ase.”
They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
38 Titia tai kandikena jor pora koise, “Jisu, David laga Putro, moi uporte morom koribi.”
He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
39 Jun manu Jisu age te jai thakise khong pora taike chup thaki bole koise. Kintu tai bisi hala kori thakise, “David laga Putro, moi uporte morom koribi.”
Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
40 Titia Jisu khara kori kene etu manu ke usorte anibole koise. Aru jitia tai usorte ahise, Jisu taike hudise,
Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
41 “Moi tumi nimite ki kori bole tumi itcha ase?” Tai koise, “Probhu, moi suku pora sabole itcha ase.”
“What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
42 Titia Jisu he taike koise, “Tumi laga suku khuli bhi. Tumi laga biswas pora tumi bhal hoise.”
Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
43 Etu homoi te tai sabo parise aru Jisu pichete jaise, Isor ke mohima dikene, sob manu khan jitia etu dikhise, taikhan Isor ke stuti dise.
Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
