Luka 18
1 A benle nani tinan tigoldo intizu nlira, na nibinai mene nwati seeng ba,
And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
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 city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not 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 oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
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 he would not for a while: 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 troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
6 Cikilare nin woro, “Lanzan imon ile na unan wucun nlire mbele.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
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 shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over 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 unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find 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 spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
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 the rest of 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 get.
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.'
But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou 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 unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 A nite wa din dasughe nin nono nibebene, anan dudo nani, nono katwa me yene, ikpada nani.
And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the 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.
But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth 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 unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
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 unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] 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.”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.
21 Unam tigoo we woro, “Vat ile imoone ina malu su an duttu gono kibene.”
And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.
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.”
And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt 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.
But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; 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!
And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches 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 enter in through a needle’s eye, 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 they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?
27 Yesu kawa aworo, “Imun ile na idin yenju na iwasa itaa ki ti nanit ba iwa sa itaa kiti Kutelle.”
But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Bitrus woro, “Arikin suna vat imon ile na tidi mun ti nani ndofin fi.”
And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, 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 unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
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 unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
32 Bara ima nakpughe nacara na wurmi, ima yasughe, ima tighe a lanza incing, inin tufuzunghe ataf.
For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
33 I wa malu ukpizughe, ima mulughe liri lin tat aba fitu tutung.”
and they shall scourge and kill him: and 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 hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.
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, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 na a lanza ligozi nanit din cinu, a tirino iyanghari nse?
and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
37 I belinghe Yesu kunan Nazarat ari din cinu ukatu.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 Bara nan uduuwe fya liwui me, a woro, “Yesu, Gonon Dauda, lanza nkune-kune ning.”
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou 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 they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou 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, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 “I yanghari udinin suu insufi?” A woro, “Cikilari, in di nin suu in yene kiti.”
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Yesu woroghe, “Puno iyizi fe, uyinnu-sa uyenu fe nshino nin fi.”
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 Kiteene iyizi me puuno kidowo, a nin dofinghe, nruu Kutelle. Na iyene nani, anite vat ruu Kutelle.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
