Luka 18
1 A benle nani tinan tigoldo intizu nlira, na nibinai mene nwati seeng ba,
And he spoke a parable to them, that they ought always to pray, and not to become weary,
2 a benle, “umong unan wucun nliru wadin kan kagbiri, unam wucun nliru une wadi nin fiu Kutelle ba, tutng na adin yenju unit nin titti litiba.
saying: There was in a certain city a judge, who neither feared God nor regarded man.
3 Umon uwani wa duku na ules me wa ku nanya kagbiri kane, asu ada kitime kolome liyiri, abenle, 'Buuni anan nayi asirne mpardai.'
And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, and said: Avenge me on my opponent at law.
4 Kubi kata piit na adinin su a buunghe ba, na I dandauna ba a woro liti me, 'Bara na indin lanzu fui Kutelle sa unit ba,
And for a while he refused. But afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 vat nani uwanin salin nles ulele din fizwi kibinai, nma buunghe nwusughe kedegene, bara a wa tii kudirya nin dasu me vat liri.'”
yet, because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Cikilare nin woro, “Lanzan imon ile na unan wucun nlire mbele.
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says;
7 Nene na Kutelle ba bulu ale na ana fere nami na idin ku culu uwui nin kitik udu kiti me ba? Na aba ti ayiasheu nin yenuba?
and will not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, though he delay long in respect to them?
8 Mbeling minu au aba saru nani dedai sa unanzu kubi. Bara nani Gono nit wadak uyi ulele aba se anan yenu-sa-uyenu kuwa?”
I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. Yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find the faith on the earth?
9 A kuru abenle tiwankari tone nale na inun din yenju ati mene anit alau wari. Inani din narsi amon anit,
And he spoke this parable to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised others.
10 “An waba wa doo nanya kutii nlira iba ti nlira - warum wadi Kufarsayawa nin nanbe unan sesun gandu.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Kufarsayawe yisina a taa imusin immong inlire nin liti me, 'Kutelle ngode fi bara na meng masin nafo among anit ale na akiriyari. anan salin nlau, anan nuzu nin naulani a buu, sa nafo ule unan sesun ngandue ba.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 In din su ukotu nayi tiba nanya na yiri kuzoor, in din nizu uzakka vat ni mon ile na in dumun.'
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Bara nani ame unan sesun ngandue yisina piit, na awa sa a fya iyizi me ayene kitene kanin ba, bara nani a reo figiri me, a woro, 'Kutelle, lanza in kune-kune ning, unam kulapi.'
And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Nbelin minu, unit une wa nyaa udu kilari lau, na nafo unan mba me ba, bara na vat ule na a ghantina liti me, iba tultinghe, ule na a tiltino liti me ima ghantinghe.”
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.
15 A nite wa din dasughe nin nono nibebene, anan dudo nani, nono katwa me yene, ikpada nani.
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them. But when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Yesu yicila nani udak kitime, aworo, 'Sunam nono nibebene dak kitining, na iwa wantin nani ba, bara na kilari tigoo Kutelle kin nimus nalelere.
And Jesus called them to him, and said: Let the little children come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Kidegene indin belu minu, vat inle na ama seru kilari tigoo Kutelle nafo nono naneba to na ama piru ba.”
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no way enter into it.
18 Umong unan tigoo tiringhe, aworo, “Ku mallami kucine, iyanghari ma ti inse upirun nlai sa ligang?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu woroghe, “Iyangharin ta udin yicwi ucine? Na umong ucine duku ba, ma se Kutelle cas.
And Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is God.
20 U yiru uduka - na uma piziru awani ahemba, na uma molu umong ba, na uma su likiri ba, na uma ti kinu litin mong ba, na tikune kitin cife nin nafene.”
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false testimony; Honor your father and your mother.
21 Unam tigoo we woro, “Vat ile imoone ina malu su an duttu gono kibene.”
He replied: All these have I kept from my youth.
22 Na Yesu nlanza nai, a woroghe, “Imun irumari duu fi. Can udi lewu imoon ile na udumun vat ukosu anan sali mun, udak uda dofini, uma nin se kiti lisosin kitene kani.”
When Jesus heard this, he said to him: One thing you yet lack; sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Na unan nimoon nacare nlanzanani ayi me nana kang, bara na awa di nin nimoon nacara kang.
And when he heard this, he was very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Yesu na ayeneghe, ayin nanghe anin woro, “Uma yity nin nijasi kang unan nimoon nacara piru kilari tigoo Kutelle!
When Jesus saw that he was very sad, he said: How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Uma katinu nin sheu Kuronkomi piru nanga ligalong nalura nworu unan nimoon nacara piru kilari tigoo Kutelle.”
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom, of God.
26 Ale na iwa din lanzwe woro, “To ghari ba se utuce?”
And those who heard it said: Who, then, can be saved?
27 Yesu kawa aworo, “Imun ile na idin yenju na iwasa itaa ki ti nanit ba iwa sa itaa kiti Kutelle.”
He replied: Things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Bitrus woro, “Arikin suna vat imon ile na tidi mun ti nani ndofin fi.”
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Yesu nin woro nani, “Kidegene, mbelin minu na umong duku na a cino kinari, sa uwanime sa qwana me, sa una nin cif, sa nono, bara kilari tigoo Kutelle,
And he said to them: Verily I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Na awa pitirin likure nin naba udu kiti me, a woro nani, “Yenen, ti ma nyiu udu Urshalima, vat nin nimon ile na ina yertin inuzu nanan liru nnuu Kutelle litin Gono nit ima kulu.
And he took the twelve aside, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.:
32 Bara ima nakpughe nacara na wurmi, ima yasughe, ima tighe a lanza incing, inin tufuzunghe ataf.
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be derided and insulted and spit upon;
33 I wa malu ukpizughe, ima mulughe liri lin tat aba fitu tutung.”
and they shall scourge him, and put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.
34 Na iyinno vat ni le imone ba, too ti gbulanghe wa nyeshin nani, na iyinno imon ile na a wa belin nani ba.
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was concealed from them; and they understood not the things that were spoken.
35 I daa nkang kubi, na Yesu ndaa susut nin Jeriko, umong uduu wa sosin kupoo libau in piziru i filizinghe ikurfung,
And it came to pass, that, as he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
36 na a lanza ligozi nanit din cinu, a tirino iyanghari nse?
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 I belinghe Yesu kunan Nazarat ari din cinu ukatu.
And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
38 Bara nan uduuwe fya liwui me, a woro, “Yesu, Gonon Dauda, lanza nkune-kune ning.”
And he cried out and said: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 A lenge na Iwa din cin nbune kpada uduuwe I woroghe a ti tik. Ana kpina liwuiye ku, “Gonon Dauda, lanza nkune-kune ning.”
And those who went before rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried so much the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Yesu yisina daang anin benle nin likara au I dak nin nite kiti me. Na uduuwe nda susut, Yesu tiringhe,
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,
41 “I yanghari udinin suu insufi?” A woro, “Cikilari, in di nin suu in yene kiti.”
saying: What do you wish me to do for you? he replied: Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Yesu woroghe, “Puno iyizi fe, uyinnu-sa uyenu fe nshino nin fi.”
And Jesus said to him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.
43 Kiteene iyizi me puuno kidowo, a nin dofinghe, nruu Kutelle. Na iyene nani, anite vat ruu Kutelle.
And he immediately received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
