Luka 18
1 A benle nani tinan tigoldo intizu nlira, na nibinai mene nwati seeng ba,
Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
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.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected 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.'
There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my 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,
For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect 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 keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
6 Cikilare nin woro, “Lanzan imon ile na unan wucun nlire mbele.
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous 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 surely bring about justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, while also being patient with 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 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 A kuru abenle tiwankari tone nale na inun din yenju ati mene anit alau wari. Inani din narsi amon anit,
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who regarded others with contempt:
10 “An waba wa doo nanya kutii nlira iba ti nlira - warum wadi Kufarsayawa nin nanbe unan sesun gandu.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
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 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 In din su ukotu nayi tiba nanya na yiri kuzoor, in din nizu uzakka vat ni mon ile na in dumun.'
I fast twice a week, and 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 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 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 tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 A nite wa din dasughe nin nono nibebene, anan dudo nani, nono katwa me yene, ikpada nani.
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 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 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 Kidegene indin belu minu, vat inle na ama seru kilari tigoo Kutelle nafo nono naneba to na ama piru ba.”
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
18 Umong unan tigoo tiringhe, aworo, “Ku mallami kucine, iyanghari ma ti inse upirun nlai sa ligang?” (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must 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.
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
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.”
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 Unam tigoo we woro, “Vat ile imoone ina malu su an duttu gono kibene.”
The man said, “All these I have 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 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 Na unan nimoon nacare nlanzanani ayi me nana kang, bara na awa di nin nimoon nacara kang.
But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely 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 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 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 person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Ale na iwa din lanzwe woro, “To ghari ba se utuce?”
Those who heard this 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.”
Jesus said, “What is impossible with men is 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 everything and followed yoʋ.”
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,
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 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.
Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Bara ima nakpughe nacara na wurmi, ima yasughe, ima tighe a lanza incing, inin tufuzunghe ataf.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked, insulted, and spit upon.
33 I wa malu ukpizughe, ima mulughe liri lin tat aba fitu tutung.”
After flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will 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.
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 I daa nkang kubi, na Yesu ndaa susut nin Jeriko, umong uduu wa sosin kupoo libau in piziru i filizinghe ikurfung,
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
36 na a lanza ligozi nanit din cinu, a tirino iyanghari nse?
When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 I belinghe Yesu kunan Nazarat ari din cinu ukatu.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Bara nan uduuwe fya liwui me, a woro, “Yesu, Gonon Dauda, lanza nkune-kune ning.”
So he cried out, “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.”
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 Yesu yisina daang anin benle nin likara au I dak nin nite kiti me. Na uduuwe nda susut, Yesu tiringhe,
So Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man drew near, Jesus asked him,
41 “I yanghari udinin suu insufi?” A woro, “Cikilari, in di nin suu in yene kiti.”
“What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
42 Yesu woroghe, “Puno iyizi fe, uyinnu-sa uyenu fe nshino nin fi.”
So Jesus said to him, “Receive yoʋr sight; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
43 Kiteene iyizi me puuno kidowo, a nin dofinghe, nruu Kutelle. Na iyene nani, anite vat ruu Kutelle.
Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
