ܠܘܩܘܣ 18
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܢܨܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܗܘܢ | 1 |
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
| ܕܝܢܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܚܕ ܗܘܐ | 2 |
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
| ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܬܒܥܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܒܥܠ ܕܝܢܝ | 3 |
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
| ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܚܕ ܐܢܐ | 4 |
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
| ܐܦܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܠܐܝܐ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܬܒܥܝܗ ܕܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܬܝܐ ܡܗܪܐ ܠܝ | 5 |
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ | 6 |
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
| ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܥܒܕ ܬܒܥܬܐ ܠܓܒܘܗܝ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܡܓܪ ܪܘܚܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ | 7 |
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܬܒܥܬܗܘܢ ܒܥܓܠ ܒܪܡ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܟܚ ܟܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ | 8 |
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܒܤܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܢܫ | 9 |
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
| ܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܚܕ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܟܤܐ | 10 |
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
| ܘܗܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܚܛܘܦܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܐ ܘܓܝܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܡܟܤܐ | 11 |
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
| ܐܠܐ ܨܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܘܡܥܤܪ ܐܢܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܩܢܐ ܐܢܐ | 12 |
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܤܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܢܪܝܡ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܛܪܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܢܝܢܝ ܠܚܛܝܐ | 13 |
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܚܬ ܗܢܐ ܡܙܕܩ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܪܝܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܡܟܟ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܡܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ | 14 |
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
| ܩܪܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܐܘ ܒܗܘܢ | 15 |
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ | 16 |
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ | 17 |
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
| ܘܫܐܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܪܫܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܪܬ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166) | 18 |
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܛܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ | 19 |
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
| ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܘܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܗܕ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܩܪܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ | 20 |
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܛܪܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ | 21 |
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
| ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܚܤܝܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܘܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ | 22 |
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܬܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܛܒ | 23 |
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 24 |
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
| ܕܠܝܠܐ ܗܝ ܠܓܡܠܐ ܕܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 25 |
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܘܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܐ | 26 |
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܫܟܚܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ | 27 |
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܒܬܪܟ | 28 |
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܫܒܩ ܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܗܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 29 |
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
| ܘܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܤܠܩܝܢܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܫܬܠܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܢ ܒܢܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ | 31 |
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
| ܢܫܬܠܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܘܢܒܙܚܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܪܩܘܢ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ | 32 |
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
| ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܨܥܪܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ | 33 |
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܐܠܐ ܡܟܤܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ | 34 |
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܝܒ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܚܕ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܚܕܪ | 35 |
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
| ܘܫܡܥ ܩܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܒܪ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ | 36 |
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܥܒܪ | 37 |
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
| ܘܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ | 38 |
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
| ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܕܢܫܬܘܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ | 39 |
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
| ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܫܐܠܗ | 40 |
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܚܙܐ | 41 |
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
| ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܐܚܝܬܟ | 42 |
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
| ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܚܙܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܡܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ | 43 |
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
