Luke 18
1 Nau haeanadetha hauthaunauhānee nuu heee, hena henane hāvachudajauaunevevetha, nau hājethauujesevenauau;
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 Hahagu haeanedau hedan hauchuwunane, haeejesa Hejavaneauthu, daudause hathauwunanenau:
‘There was,’ he said, ‘in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 Nau haeanedau henevesā hena hedan; nau haejeedasa, Jeaugaunayewhu naujauthavaa, hathauhuk.
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said “Grant me justice against my opponent.”
4 Nau haejevadaunaasedau: hau waunee hasethajauhuk, hewauāthe nejechauau Hejavaneauthau, nau hathauwunanenau;
For a time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself “Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 Hau nausunee hanau naa henevesā hajanauchuhānau, hadenayauhauau havaedajauaunejau navanadauchuhaa.
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.”’
6 Nau Vahadāde hasenehehuk, Jaathehaa hasenehede janechuvāhede hauchuwunane.
Then the Master added, ‘Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 Nau gauhujavaneauthau gauhadnenayauha nehayau hanayāsanaunau, hauwauaudaunādaunau hesee nau dajāee, hau negudauchuhaude?
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 Nananenau nananena nāedauwunathana henee hadnauchuhanenayauhaude, Hau hāejauthe Heau henane, gauhadveede hethauwaudaude nuu hathāauauvaa.
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’
9 Nau haeauthaunanadetha jachau nethauwaudaunadenethe nehayau henee dauchuvahethee, nau newauchānauwauthee hauthauau:
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 Hanesethee henanenauau haeyehaunauau vevethahenauauwuu hadvevethahethee; hanesāde Nesethajuhu, nau jasaa hauāyāhe.
‘Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Nesethajuhu haetheaugu nau haevevetha waude heee nehayau, Hejavaneauthau, nananenau vaveenethedaunathane, henee nāhauwunaathā hauthauau henanenauau hathahethee, hedanauwuyāhehauau, janechuvahethee, jatheaudauwuyāhehauau, daudause naa hathāde hauāyāhe.
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – “God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 Nananenau nenaugauyānau nese hanesadee hauchauvadede, Nevānau vadadauchu vahee henee nāthāenetheyaunau.
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.”
13 Nau hauāyāhe haetheaugu vavāaune, daudause haejejenāauguau hejavaa, hau haeanadesejāhede, Hejavaneauthau jeauwunaune wauchudaunau, hathauhuk.
Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
14 Nananenau nāedauwunathana, naa henane haejaeyehau hedauauwuu haeauwunaunau haejavaāhe jachau: hanau dathājee hanesāde henee nevadaujavaānajanethee nehayau hadnauwujenanade; nau henee nenehanethaunadede hadnejanade.
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.’
15 Nau haejādaunanauau jea hajasedāeyaunauau, hadnevasanaude; hau hāenauhaudauwunethe hethauguhādaunau, haeneneuvanauau.
Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
16 Hau Hejavaneauthusau haeadetha, nau hahagu, Nanehajauthee hajasedāeyaunauauau, nau jevadauduvaa: naathāhenethe henehanahedaunau henajanede Hejavaneauthau.
Jesus, however, called the little children to him. ‘Let the little children come to me,’ he said, ‘and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 Hethauwuu nāedauwunathana, Daun hadjesedanauau henajanedaunene Hejavaneauthu hasenaedenethe hajasedāeyaunauau hadnehauwuneejedā.
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.’
18 Nau jachau hauchuwunanene haenaudedaunaa, Hethāhene Hechauhauthethāhe, nauddusedau hadnedanauwau jethauujenenaedede? hathauhuk. (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – ‘Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
19 Nau Hejavaneauthsaun haeāedauwunaa, Naudu hethāde haesene? henaneda hehauwuthā, vavade hanesāde, nananede, Hejavaneauthau.
‘Why do you call me good?’ answered Jesus. ‘No one is good but God.
20 Nananene haenauwu nanavaavedaunau, Jevawauchudauau heee haugauthenenede, Jevanaa, Jevaaveda, Jevajayaudauwāedauwauthadee, Vechauchune nananene hāsaunau nau hānau.
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honour your father and your mother.’
21 Nau hanaāenehede, Vahee nuu haunaunedenau heee daujeeseaunau.
‘I have observed all these,’ he replied, ‘from childhood.’
22 Wauhā Hejavaneauthusau hāenedauwaudauau nuu, Hanaāāedauwunaude, Hanesadee hāhauwusenethene: Vaheaudauna henee hāthāenetheyaunau, nau hadjaanauwunaunauau hadavenuhuhauau, nau nananene hadnethenauwu haenathau hejavaa, nau hadejau hadjethaugu.
Hearing this, Jesus said to him, ‘There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
23 Nau hāenedauwaudauau nuu, haeaudauwuthajau: hanau deethauwunethauyā dāde.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Nau Hejavaneauthausaun hāenauhaudauwunith henee dauaudauwuthajaude, Duthāenanauthaune henee nanethenuu veaunauaude hadnesejedāthee henajanedaunene Hejavaneauthu, hathauhuk.
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Hanau hehauwujajathaune heee camel hehedesahagaunee hajasevāhau nedaudaunaudenee, javaāneenauthaunee nethauyāsenane hadnesejedāde henajanedaunene Hejavaneauthu.
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!’
26 Nau hathāenedauwauduu, Hanaa hadnenanedanede? hahagaunee.
‘Then who can be saved?’ asked those who heard this.
27 Nau hanaāenehenith, hayauhuhau hejethauuneethaunenau henanenauau neneedede Hejavaneauthau.
But Jesus said, ‘What is impossible with people is possible with God.’
28 Hanaāenehede Peda, Naune, naunaudauwunauau vahee, nau thaunauguhane.
‘But we,’ said Peter, ‘we left what belonged to us and followed you.’
29 Nau haeāedauwuna, Hethauwuu nāedauwunathana, hena haunauude henane henee hehauwunaude hedauauwuu, wauāthe henehā, wauāthe henauhauwauau, wauāthe henene wauāthe henesaunau, heee henajanedaunene Hejavaneauthu hedenaededaunene,
‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Hanaāedanaude nesenee, nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Naune, hadneyehaunauau Dādaunedan, nau vahee hayauhuhau hathāewauthaunauhuu haeyāhehauau heee Heau henane hethauwunauauchauau.
Gathering the Twelve round him, Jesus said to them, ‘Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
32 Hanau hadvenavathe Neauthu, nau hadvavavanauchuhāde, nau hadnaunaunauchaudauchuhāde, nau hadneguthahayauthāde.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 Nau hadnenesegauhude, nau hadnaāde: nau nasese hadnaāejaegauhāde.
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.’
34 Nau haejaenauwu nuu: nau nuu hauthedau haeyaudaunaunauau, daudause haejaenauwu hathauthedaunāthee.
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Nau hethauwuu, hāayāedadauau Jericho, jasaa haenanenaugu henane haetheaugu nedechaudenenee dauhunedauwaude:
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 Nau haenedauwaude henanedanede dadavechaudenenee, haenaudedauva haesedaudenenee.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Nau haeaāedauwunau, henee Jesus Nazareth hanehedesade.
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Nau hanaāevasanadede, Hejavaneauthusau, nananene Heau David, jeauwunaune, hathauhuk.
he shouted out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!’
39 Nau henee nanedauvathee haeneneuvanauau haddādaunaugunith: hau haevasanade haugauthe, Nananene Heau David, jeauwunaune.
Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, ‘Son of David, take pity on me!’
40 Nau Hejavaneauthusau haedauusa, nau haeautheave hadjādaunade: nau hāayājenauusanith, haenaudedauna,
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
41 Hauddusehathe henee hadenaasehathane? hathauhuk. Nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Vahadāhene, nanaa hadeesedanauwau nauhaudauwaude.
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I want to recover my sight.’
42 Nau Hejavaneauthusau haenehetha, hanesedanauwu nananene nauhaudauwaude: hadethauwaudaude henayauhāne.
And Jesus said, ‘Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.’
43 Nau chauchaunu haeesedane henauhaudauwaude, nau haethauguha, haevaveenethedauna Hejavaneauthu: nau vahee henanedanede, hāenauhauduu, haevaveenethedaunanauau Hejavaneauthu.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
