Luka 18
1 Kaminawk loe thazok ai ah lawkthuih han angaih, tiah nihcae khaeah patahhaih lok maeto a thuih pae;
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 avang maeto ah Sithaw zii ai, kami mikhmai doeh khen ai lokcaekkung maeto oh:
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 to avang thungah lamhmai maeto oh; lamhmai loe lokcaekkung khaeah caeh moe, Ka misa nuiah lu lak hanah lok na caek paeh, tiah tahmenhaih a hnik.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Atue nasetto thungah maw loe anih mah lokcaek ai ah oh pae: toe hnukkhuem ah loe, Sithaw to ka zii ai, kami mikhmai doeh ka khen ai;
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 toe hae lamhmai mah raihaih ang paek khing boeh pongah, lok takroek pae halat ue, to tih ai nahaeloe anih angzo khing ueloe, raihaih na paek moeng tih, tiah a poek, tiah a naa.
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Angraeng mah, Katoeng ai lokcaek kami ih lok to poek oh.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Sithaw mah angmah khaeah qum thun lawkthui kami, a qoih ih kaminawk hanah lokcaek pae mak ai maw, nihcae to atue kasawkah angam taak duem tih maw?
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Kang thuih o, anih loe nihcae han karangah lokcaek pae tih. Toe Kami Capa angzoh naah Anih mah long nuiah tanghaih hnu tang tih maw? tiah a naa.
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Anih mah angmacae toenghaih angoep, minawk khet patoek kaminawk khaeah hae patahhaih lok hae a thuih pae:
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 kami hnik loe lawkthuih hanah tempul ah caeh hoi; maeto loe Farasi kami ah oh moe, kalah maeto loe tamut cong kami ah oh.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Farasi kami loe angdoet moe, Sithaw, kai loe minawk ih hmuen kalomh, kazae kaminawk, zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah kaminawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe hae ih tamut cong kami baktiah ka om ai pongah, anghoehaih lawk kang thuih.
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.
12 Ni sarihto thungah buh vai hnetto ka zah, ka tawnh ih hmuen thung boih hoiah hato thungah maeto ka paek, tiah lawk a thuih.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Toe tamut cong kami loe kangthla ah angdoet moe, van bangah doeh khen ngam ai, angmah ih saoek to atumh moe, Angraeng, kami zae kai nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah lawk a thuih.
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!’
14 Kang thuih o, Kalah kami pongah loe hae tamut cong kami mah ni toenghaih to hnuk, to pacoengah angmah im ah amlaem: mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah amkoeh kami loe krah tathuk tih; toe mi tlim ah khosah kami loe pakoeh ah om tih, tiah a naa.
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.”
15 Jesu suisak hanah nawktanawk anih khaeah angzoh o haih: toe a hnukbang kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, nihcae to zoeh o.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Toe Jesu mah nawktanawk to angmah khaeah kawk moe, Nawktanawk to kai khaeah angzo o sak ah, haek o hmah: Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe to baktih kami han ih ni oh.
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.
17 Loktang kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh Sithaw prae to nawkta ta baktiah talawk ai kami loe a thungah akun thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 Ukkung maeto mah, Kahoih Patukkung, dungzan hinghaih qawktoep hanah timaw ka sak han? tiah dueng. (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Tipongah Kahoih, tiah nang kawk loe? Sithaw, Maeto khue ai ah loe, mi doeh hoih ai.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah hmah, Kami hum hmah, Paqu hmah, Hnukung amsawn ah om hmah, Nam no hoi nam pa saiqat ah, tiah kaom kaalok to na panoek to loe, tiah a naa.
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
21 Anih mah, Hae hmuennawk loe nawkta nathuem hoiah ni ka pazui boih boeh, tiah a naa.
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 To lok to Jesu mah thaih naah, anih mah to kami khaeah, Maeto na ngai vop: na tawnh ih hmuennawk to zawh boih ah loe, kamtang kaminawk hanah paek ah, to tiah nahaeloe van prae ah tangqum na tawn tih: to pacoengah angzo ah loe, ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
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.”
23 Anih loe angraeng parai pongah, to lok to a thaih naah, paroeai palungset.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Anih palungset parai, tiah Jesu mah panoek naah, Angraeng kaminawk Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae thungah akun han kawkruk maw rai!
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Angraeng kami van ah akun pongah loe, kaengkuu hrang phungvang khaw thungah akun han zoi kue, tiah a naa.
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.”
26 To lok thaih kaminawk mah, To tih nahaeloe mi maw pahlong ah om thai tih? tiah thuih o.
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Anih mah, Kami han angcoeng thai ai hmuen to Sithaw hoiah loe angcoeng thaih, tiah a naa.
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Piter mah anih khaeah, Khenah, Kaicae loe hmuennawk ka caeh o taak boih moe, na hnukah ka bang o, tiah a naa.
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae hanah imlawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno ampa maw, to tih ai boeh loe nawkamya maw, to tih ai boeh loe a zu maw, to tih ai boeh loe a caanawk maw caehtaak kami loe,
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,
31 Anih loe kami hatlai hnettonawk to angma khaeah hoih moe, nihcae khaeah, Khenah, Tahmaanawk mah tarik ih kami Capa kawng to akoep boih thai han ih ni, Jerusalem ah a caeh o.
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.
32 Anih to Gentelnawk khaeah paek o tih, pahnui o thuih tih, pacaekthlaek o ueloe, tamtui hoiah pathoih o tih:
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 nihcae mah anih to bop o ueloe, hum o tih: toe anih loe ni thumto naah angthawk let tih, tiah a naa.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 Nihcae mah hae loknawk hae thaih o kop ai: hae thuihaih lok loe nihcae han lok tamqu ah oh pongah, tih lok maw a thuih, tito nihcae mah panoek o ai.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Jeriko vangpui a phak tom naah, mikmaeng maeto loe lam taengah anghnut moe, ban patueng:
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 paroeai kaminawk lamcaehhaih atuen to anih mah thaih naah, tih tuen maw tiah minawk khaeah a dueng.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Nazareth Jesu angzoh, tiah thuih pae o.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Anih mah, nang David Capa, Jesu, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah a naa.
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Jesu hmaa ah caeh kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Om duem ah, tiah a naa o: toe anih mah, nang David capa, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah a hang aep.
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!”
40 Jesu loe angdoet moe, to kami to anih khaeah hoih hanah lok a paek: to kami Jesu khae phak naah loe, Jesu mah anih khaeah,
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 nang hanah timaw saksak na koeh? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Angraeng, mik amtueng han ka koeh, tiah a naa.
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na mik amtueng lai ah, na tanghaih mah ang hoihsak boeh, tiah a naa.
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 To naah a mik to amtueng pae roep, to pacoengah Jesu hnukah bang moe, Sithaw to pakoeh: kaminawk boih mah, to hmuen to hnuk o naah, Sithaw to saphaw o.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
