Luk 18
1 Vbvrikunamv Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa minchisinam go minla tamsarto bunua kumbwngla doomu dubv okv vdwloka miangbv mvngsu madubv.
Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
2 “Banggu guloka kvba japrianv nyi go dooto nw yvvnyika mvngdv manvgo okv Pwknvyarnv nyika busu manvgo.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
3 Okv ho banggu akin hoka hvngmi goka dooto hv ninyi gvlo aaki nvgo okv ninyigv jvjv nga raabwngto vbv minto ‘nga nyiru nvnga ridarminsu dubv nga ridur labv!’
There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Japria jinv angv megojego riji jimakv vla mingkwngto, vbvritola anyung jemanga nw atuv minsuto, ‘Ngo Pwknvyarnvnyi busu manv vmalo nyi ha mvngdv manv gubv rijvka,
For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 so hvngmi gv nga adwkaku jinam mvnwng gv lvgalo ngo ninyigv jvjv nga paadu kubv kaajire. Ngo vbv riji mabolo nw aabwngre okv ataranya lo ngaaka gvvkuji!’”
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
6 Okv Ahtu minbwngto, “Japrianv nyi alvmanv gv minam a tvvtoka.
Then the Lord said, “Consider what this unrighteous judge said.
7 Vjak, Pwknvyarnv nw atugv nyi gv lvgabv japjiriji maredw yvvdw aluayu bv ridur lvgabv kapki nvnga? Nw ninyia ridur svnga tapv ridw?
If even he ultimately rendered a just decision, will not God patiently listen to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and give them justice?
8 Ngo nonua mindu, Nw bunu gvbv japjire okv hum baapubv rijire. Vbvritola nyia Kuunyilo ngv vdwlo nyiamooku so aarikunyi mvngjwng go paarikudw?”
I tell you that he will bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Atua darwk nvgobv mvngsinv okv kvvbi nyi mvnwngnga miyakaayanv vdwa Jisu so minchisinam sum minjidato.
He also told this parable to some who were confident in their own righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10 “Alu golo nyi anyigo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kumdubv vla chaato: akonv Parisi go kvvbi gonv lampu naaria nvgo.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
11 Parisi angv atu hv akusubv dakrwsito okv kumto, ‘Ngo Pwknvyarnv nam, umbonyikv mvngdunv, ogulvgavbolo ngo dvgum madunv, tvvma nvgobv rima, vmalo nyi mvnwng gv ribv, yoomur nvgobv rima. Ngo nam umbonyikv vdunv ogulvgavbolo ngo alo v doonv lampunayanv aingbv rima.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed like this: ‘God, I thank yoʋ that I am not like other people: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Ngo lokkanw lo loonyi go yikla doodunv, okv ngo paanam lo vring loka akonyi nam jibwng dunv.’
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Vbvritola Lampunayanv angv adulo dakto okv ninyigv nyukmu ngvka nyido aobv baayinmato, vbvritola ninyigv haakwnglo baapv gvrila okv minto, ‘Pwknvyarnv, ngo rimurnv nyi go, ngam aya labv!’
But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 Ngo nonua mindunv,” Jisu minto, “Pwknvyarnv gv kaagia lo, alvnvgobv rinv lampu naayanv angv, vdwlo nw naam bv vngtokudw, Parisis angvma. Ho lvga mvnwngngv yvvdw kainvgobv mvngsudunv um miang nvgobv mvre, okv yvvdw atu v miang nvgobv mvngsudunv hum kainvgobv mvre.”
I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other one. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Nyi mego bunugv vmi vdwa Jisu gvlo aagvjito ninyigv laak v bunuam lakpo modubv vla. Lvbwlaksu vdwv bunua vbvrinv gubv vla yamdarpato,
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who were bringing them,
16 vbvritola Jisu vmi vdwa nw gvlo goklwkto okv minto, “vmi vdwa ngoogvlo aamuto okv bunua mintor mabv, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv gv Karv ngv svkv nvgv gvngv.
but Jesus called for them 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 Sum mvnggap laka! Yvvdw vmi aingbv rigv rila Pwknvyarnv gv Karv nga naarwk madunv v hoka aanyu mare.”
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
18 Jius nyi rigvnv ako Jisunyi tvvkato, “Alvbv Tamsarnv, turbwng nama paanam lvgabv ngo ogugo risegubvri?” (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 “No nga ogubv alvnv vla mindunv?” Jisu ninyia tvvkato. “Yvvka alvnv kaama Pwknvyarnv akin mvngchik.
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
20 No gamkinam gaam vdwa chindu: ‘Yoomur mabvka; gwngrw gwyoka; dvcho mabvka; mvvlarula yvvnyika mium mabvka; noogv anv okv abunyi mvngdv laka.’”
Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother.’”
21 Nyi angv mirwkto, “So gv gamkinam gaam vdw sum, ngo vmi anga lokv, ribwngchala ripvkunv.”
The man said, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
22 Vdwlo Jisu hum tvvtokudw, nw nyi anga minto, “No rise ngv akin go doopv. No ogugo doopvdw hum mvnwngnga pyoktola morko nga heemanv vdwa jito laka, okv no nyidomooku tolo nyitvyachok reku; vbvripikula aala nga vngming gvlakuka.”
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing yoʋ still lack: Sell everything yoʋ have and distribute the money to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
23 Vbvritola vdwlo nyi angv hum tvvtokudw, nw achialvbv mvngru toku, ogulvgavbolo nw achialvbv nyitvto.
But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely rich.
24 Jisu ninyia mvngru dubv kaatoku okv minto, “Nyitvnv nyi hv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo aanam lvgabv achialvbv aanyu madunv!
When Jesus saw that the man had become very sorrowful, he said, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Kemel gv pwsi ungrung lo vngpit tvvnam aingbv nyitvnv nyi v hum kaiyabv aanyu manam gubv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo aatv rinyi ridunv.”
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Nyi vdwv hum nw gvlo tvvpanv vdwv tvvkato, “Vbvrikubolo, yvv, ringnam a paala kujinv?”
Those who heard this said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jisu mirwkto, “Nyi gv ogugo rinyu manamv Pwknvyarnv gv lvgabv rinyu dunv.”
Jesus said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28 Vbvrikunamv Pitar minto, “Kaatoka! Ngonu nam vngming gvdubv ngonugv naam vdwa vngyu pvnv.”
Then Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
29 “Am,” Jisu bunua minto, “Okv ngo nonua jvjvbv milv jidunv yvvdw naam vmalo nyimv vmalo achiboru vmalo anvabu vmalo kuu vdwa Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lvgabv vngyu dunv.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, parents, brothers, wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Jisu lvbwlaksu vdwa vngyi gvtoku okv bunua minto, “Tvvtoka, ngonu Jerusalem bv vngdunv, hoka nyijwk vdwgv nyia Kuunyilo gv lvga nga lvknam vdwv jvjvbv rilin jiriku.
Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Ninyia kvvbi nyi vdwgvlo laklwk reku, bunu ninyia mvmin reku, nyarjikao reku, okv tachor chorke reku.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked, insulted, and spit upon.
33 Bunu ninyia svnyak pareku, okv mvki reku, vbvritola alu loom kochinglo nw turrap reku.”
After flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Vbvritola lvbwlaksu vdwv minam vdwa akonyika chinku mato; ogu ha minpv nvdw hv bunugv lokv adu toku, okv Jisu ogu gonyi minpv nvdw um bunu chinku mato.
But the disciples did not understand any of these things; this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was being said.
35 Jisu Jeriko gv adarlo aadungto, hoka giagonv nyi ako lamtv hoka doopv tvvla giadungto.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
36 Vdwlo nw nyipam vdwgv vngpit nama tvvpa tokudw, nw tvkato, “Si ogu v?”
When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Bunu ninyia minpato, “Najaret lokv Jisu vngpit dvnvkv.”
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Nw kapla minto, “Jisu! Dabid gv kuunyilo! Nga aya mvngpa labvka!”
So he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Haabo lokv nyi vdwv ninyia yamto okv ninyia choibvkv vla minto. Vbvritola nw gamtvyayabv gokla minto, “Dabid gv kuunyilo! Nga aya mvngpa labvka!”
Then those who were out in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Vkvlvgabv Jisu daktungto okv nyikchingnv nyi anga ninyigvlo aagv dubv minto. Vdwlo nyi angv nvchilo aato kudw, Jisu ninyia tvvkato,
So Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man drew near, Jesus asked him,
41 “No nga noogv lvgabv ogugo rijilabv vla mvngdunv?” “Tamsarnv,” nw mirwksito, “Ngo lvkodv kaapa nwngduku.”
“What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
42 Jisu ninyia minto, “Vbvrikunamv kaato kuka! Noogv mvngjwng ngv nam alv mopvku.”
So Jesus said to him, “Receive yoʋr sight; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
43 Vjakgobv nw kaapa toku, okv nw Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv yingla, Jisunyi vngming gvtoku. Vdwlo nyipam v um kaatokudw, bunu mvnwngngv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv toku.
Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
