Luc 18
1 Jezuz a lavaras ivez dezho ar barabolenn-mañ, evit diskouez penaos eo ret pediñ bepred, hag hep skuizhañ.
He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
2 Bez' e oa en ur gêr ur barner na zouje ket Doue, ha n'en devoa respet ebet evit den.
"In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
3 Bez' e oa ivez er gêr-se un intañvez a zeue d'e gavout, o lavarout: Gra din reizh diouzh va enebour.
And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
4 E-pad pell amzer ne c'hoantaas ober netra. Koulskoude e lavaras ennañ e-unan: Petra bennak na zoujan ket Doue, ha na'm eus respet ebet evit den,
"For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
5 koulskoude, dre ma teu an intañvez-mañ da skuizhañ ac'hanon, e rin reizh dezhi, gant aon na gendalc'hfe da derriñ din va fenn.
yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
6 Hag an Aotrou a lavaras: Selaouit ar pezh a lavar ar barner disleal-se.
And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
7 Doue, ha ne raio ket reizh d'e re dibabet a gri dezhañ noz-deiz, hag e taleo en o c'heñver?
And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
8 Me a lavar deoc'h, e raio reizh dezho prest. Met pa zeuio Mab an den, ha kavout a raio feiz war an douar?
Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
9 Lavarout a reas ivez ar barabolenn-mañ, diwar-benn tud a grede enno o-unan e oant tud reizh, hag a zisprize ar re all:
And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
10 Daou zen a bignas d'an templ da bediñ; unan a oa farizian, hag egile a oa publikan.
"Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Ar farizian, oc'h en em zerc'hel en e sav, a bede evel-hen ennañ e-unan: O Doue, da drugarekaat a ran dre ma n'on ket evel an dud all, a zo laeron, direizh, avoultrerien, nag ivez evel ar publikan-se.
The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
12 Yunañ a ran div wech ar sizhun, reiñ a ran an deog eus kement am eus.
I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
13 Met ar publikan, oc'h en em zerc'hel pell, ne grede ket memes sevel e zaoulagad d'an neñv; met skeiñ a rae war boull e galon, o lavarout: O Doue, az pez truez ouzhin, ur pec'her on!
"But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
14 Me a lavar deoc'h, hemañ a zistroas pardonet d'e di kentoc'h eget egile; rak piv bennak en em uhela, a vo izelaet, ha piv bennak en em izela, a vo uhelaet.
"I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
15 Degaset e voe dezhañ bugale vihan, evit ma stokje outo; met an diskibien, o welout kement-se, a c'hrozmole d'ar re o degase.
On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
16 Jezuz, o c'hervel anezho d'e gavout, a lavaras: Lezit ar vugale vihan da zont da'm c'havout, ha na zifennit ket outo; rak rouantelezh Doue a zo d'ar re a zo heñvel outo.
Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
17 Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, penaos piv bennak ne zegemero ket rouantelezh Doue evel ur bugel bihan, ne yelo ket e-barzh.
I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
18 Unan eus ar pennoù a c'houlennas digantañ: Mestr mat, petra a dlean d'ober evit kaout ar vuhez peurbadus? (aiōnios g166)
The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Perak em galvez mat? N'eus hini mat nemet Doue hepken.
"Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
20 Anavezout a rez ar gourc'hemennoù: Na ra ket avoultriezh; Na lazh ket; Na laer ket; Na lavar ket a falstesteni; Enor da dad ha da vamm.
You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
21 Eñ a lavaras dezhañ: Miret em eus an holl draoù-se adalek va yaouankiz.
"All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
22 Jezuz, o klevout kement-se, a lavaras: Mankout a ra dit c'hoazh un dra: Gwerzh kement ac'h eus, en ro d'ar beorien, hag ez po un teñzor en neñv; goude-se deus hag heul ac'hanon.
On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
23 Pa en devoe klevet kement-se, e teuas gwall-drist; rak pinvidik bras e oa.
But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Jezuz, o welout e oa deuet gwall-drist, a lavaras: Pegen diaes eo d'ar re o deus madoù mont e rouantelezh Doue!
Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
25 Aesoc'h eo d'ur c'hañval tremen dre graoenn un nadoz eget d'un den pinvidik mont e-barzh rouantelezh Doue.
Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
26 Ar re en kleve a lavaras: Ha piv a c'hell bezañ salvet?
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
27 Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Ar pezh a zo dibosupl d'an dud a zo posupl da Zoue.
"Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
28 Pêr a lavaras: Setu, ni hon eus dilezet pep tra, hag hon eus da heuliet.
Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
29 Eñ a lavaras dezho: Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez: N'eus den en defe kuitaet, ti, pe wreg, pe vreudeur, pe gerent, pe vugale, evit rouantelezh Doue,
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
31 Jezuz a gemeras neuze a-du an daouzek, hag a lavaras dezho: Setu, e pignomp da Jeruzalem, hag an holl draoù a zo bet skrivet gant ar brofeded diwar-benn Mab an den, a ya da vezañ graet.
Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Rak lakaet e vo etre daouarn ar baganed, graet e vo goap anezhañ, dismegañset e vo, krañchet e vo outañ,
For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
33 ha goude ma vo bet skourjezet, e vo lakaet d'ar marv, hag ec'h adsavo a varv d'an trede deiz.
They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
34 Met ne gomprenent netra e kement-se; ar c'homzoù-se a oa kuzhet evito, ha ne ouient ket ar pezh a oa lavaret dezho.
Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
35 Evel ma tostae ouzh Jeriko, un den dall a oa azezet war gostez an hent, hag a c'houlenne an aluzen;
As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
36 o klevout ar bobl a dremene, e c'houlennas petra a oa kement-se.
He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
37 Lavaret e voe dezhañ e tremene Jezuz a Nazared.
"Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
38 Neuze e krias: Jezuz, Mab David, az pez truez ouzhin!
Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
39 Ar re a yae a-raok a groze dezhañ evit ma tavje; met eñ a grie c'hoazh kreñvoc'h: Mab David, az pez truez ouzhin!
Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
40 Jezuz, o chom a-sav, a c'hourc'hemennas en degas d'e gavout; ha pa voe tostaet,
At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
41 e c'houlennas outañ: Petra a fell dit e rafen evidout? Eñ a respontas: Aotrou, ma'c'h adkavin ar gweled.
"What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
42 Ha Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Adkav ar gweled, da feiz he deus da yac'haet.
"Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
43 Kerkent ec'h adkavas ar gweled, hag ec'h heulias Jezuz, o reiñ gloar da Zoue. An holl bobl, o welout kement-se, a veulas Doue.
No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
