San Lucas 18
1 YA jasangane un acomparasion, na y taotao sija janesesita ufanmanayuyut, ya chañija fanataeanima.
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 Ilelegña: Guaja gui un siuda un jues, na ti maañao as Yuus, ni urespeta ni jaye na taotao:
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for man.
3 Ya guaja locue güije na siuda un biuda ni y mato guiya güiya ya ilelegña: Areglajam yan y enemigujo.
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
4 Ya ti malago finena; lao despues ilegña gui sumanjalomña: Achogja ti maañaoyo as Yuus, ni jufanrespeta taotao;
For a time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for man,
5 Lao pot y jarorobayo este na palaoan, bae juaregla sija, sa noseaja pot y sisigueja mague, uestotbayo.
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
6 Ya y Señot ilegña: Ecungog jafa y ti tunas na jues ilelegña.
Then the Master added: “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 Ada ti unalibre si Yuus y inayigña, ni y maaagang güe jaane, yan puenge, ya apmam na jasungon pot sija?
And God — will not he see that his own People, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them — though he holds his hand?
8 Jusangane jamyo, na enseguidas unafanlibre. Lao anae ufato y Lajin taotao, ufañoda jinenggue gui jilo tano?
He will, I tell you, have justice done them, and that soon! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
9 Ya jasangan este na acomparasion ni ayo sija y umangocon maesa sija na manunas, ya jadespresia y pumalo:
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded every one else with scorn, Jesus told this parable —
10 Dos na taotao jumanao julo gui templo para ujafanaetae: Y un Fariseo, ya y otro publicano.
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Y Fariseo tumojgue, ya taegüine tinaetaeña gui sumanjalomña: Junae jao grasias Yuus, sa ti parejoyo yan y pumalo na taotao, ni y manáplacha, yan manábale, ni y este publicano.
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way — ‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like other men — thieves, rogues, adulterers — or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 Umayuyunatyo dos biaje gui semana; mannanaeyo diesmos ni y todo güinajajo.
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
13 Lao y publicano gaegue na tumotojgue gui chago; ya ti jaguesjatsa y atadogña julo gui langet; lao jaseseco y pechoña, ya ilelegña: Yuus, gaease nu guajo, sa taotao isaoyo.
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 ‘O God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 Jusangane jamyo, na, este na taotao jumanao papa y guimaña, ya maasie y isaoña, mas mauleg qui y otro; sa cada uno y minadangculo güe, uninaumitde; ya y munamitde güe, umanadangculo.
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, while every one who humbles himself shall be exalted.”
15 Ya maconie guato guiya güiya ni y diquique na famaguonñija, para upacha; ya anae manlinie ni y disipulo sija, manmalalatde.
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 Lao si Jesus jaagang sija, ya ilegña: Polo y diquique na famaguon ya ufanmamaela guiya guajo, ya chamiyo chumochoma; sa iyon este sija y raenon Yuus.
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 Magajet jusangane jamyo, na y ti rumesibe y raenon Yuus taegüije y diquique na patgon, ti ujalom güije.
I tell you, unless a man receives the Kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 Ya un taotao na magas, finaesen güe ilelegña: Mauleg na Maestro, jafa jufatinas para juereda y taejinecog na linâlâ? (aiōnios g166)
And one of the Presidents asked Jesus this question — “Good Teacher, what must I do if I am to gain Immortal Life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Ya si Jesus ilegña nu güiya: Jafa na ilegmo nu guajo mauleg? taya mauleg na unoja, si Yuus.
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20 Utungo y tinago sija: Chamo umábale, Chamo famumuno, Chamo fañañaque, Chamo sumasangan y ti magajet na sinangan, Onra si tatamo, yan nanamo.
You know the commandments — ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honour thy father and thy mother.’”
21 Ya ilegña: Todo este sija juadaje desde y pinatgonjo.
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22 Anae jajungog este sija si Jesus, ilegña nu güiya: Guaja uno fattamo trabia: bende todo y güinajamo, ya unfacae y mamobble, ya uguaja güinajamo gui langet, ya maela dalalagyo.
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 shall have wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me.”
23 Lao anae jajungog estesija, ninágostriste; sa gosrico güe.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Ya anae linie as Jesus, ilegña: Namanminapot ayo sija y mangaegüinaja manjalom gui raenon Yuus!
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples: “How hard it is for men of wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!
25 Sa guseña malofan un cameyo gui matan y jaguja, qui ujalom un rico gui raenon Yuus.
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
26 Ya ayo y jumungog, ilegñija: Jaye nae siña satbo?
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27 Ya ilegña: Y güinaja ni y ti mansiña para y taotao sija; mansiña para as Yuus.
But Jesus said: “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28 Ayonae ilegña si Pedro: Estagüeja na indingo y iyonmame, ya indalalag jao.
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
29 Ya ilegña nu sija: Magajet jusangane jamyo, na taya ni un taotao ni y dumingo guma, pat asagua, pat mañelu, pat mañaena, pat famaguon, pot y raenon Yuus,
“I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, on account of the Kingdom of God,
31 Ya jacone y dose, ya ilegña nu sija: Estagüe, na manjajanaojit julo Jerusalem, ya todosija y tinigue y profeta sija pot y Lajin taotao, ufanmacumple.
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 Sa nesesita na umaentrega gui taotao juyong, ya umabotlea, yan umafaesegnane, yan umatolae:
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat upon;
33 Ya umasaulag, ya umapuno; ya y mina tres na jaane, ucajulo talo.
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Lao sija ti jatungo ni uno gui este sija: ya este na sinangan manaatog guiya sija, ya ni ti jatungo jafa sija y masangan.
The Apostles did not comprehend any of this; his meaning was unintelligible to them, and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Ya susede anae esta jijijot Jerico, estaba un taotao bachet gui oriyan chalan na matatachong, ya umógagao:
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road-side, begging.
36 Ya anae jajungog y linajyan taotao na manmalolofan, mamaesen jafa ayo.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Ya masangane güe, na si Jesus Nasareno malolofan.
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Ya umagang ilelegña: Jesus, jago ni y Lajin David, gaease nu guajo.
he shouted out: “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
39 Ya machoma ni y manmofona para ufamatquilo: lao mas umagang megae: Jago ni y Lajin David, gaease nu guajo.
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 Ya tumojgue si Jesus, ya manago na umaconie guato guiya güiya: ya anae esta jijijot, finaesen:
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 Jafa malagomo jufatinas guiya jago? Ya güiya ilegña: Señot, para jufanlie.
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
42 Ya ilegña si Jesus nu güiya: Fanlie: y jinengguemo unsinatba.
And Jesus said: “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
43 Ya enseguidas jaresibe y liniiña, ya jadalalag güe, yan janamalag si Yuus; yan todo y taotao sija, anae malie, maalaba si Yuus.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
