Luka 18
1 Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
2 Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh.
saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
3 Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih, ' Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak,’ a ti nah.
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te, ' Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
5 Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh?,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
6 Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
7 A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
8 Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
9 A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
10 “Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
11 Pharisee tah amah la pai tih, “Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem,
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
12 Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek, 'tila thangthui.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
13 Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih, ' Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah,’ a ti.
And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
14 Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
15 Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
16 Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
17 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
18 Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
20 Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
22 A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
23 Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai.
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
29 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih.
and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni.
And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
32 Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni,
for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
33 Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pauh.
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
38 Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
39 Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
40 Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
41 “Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
42 Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
43 Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
