Luke 18
1 Nikhat Yeshuan aseijuite ataojing nadiu leh alhahdai lou nadiu vetsahnan thusim khat aseipeh e.
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 “Khopi khat a hin thutan khat Pathen ginglou chule miho khohsah na jong neilou khat aumin ahi.
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 Chuche khopia meithai khat chu kinong chel'in ahung jingin, ‘Kagalmi hotoh kakiboinau hi thu adih in neitan peh'in,’ ahung tijin ahi.
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
4 Thutan pan phat chomkhat amanu chu isahlou tah in anakoiyin, ahin achainakeiyin hitin akihoulim in, Keiman Pathen kaging pon ahiloule miho jong hole tilou kahi,
For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 ahivangin hiche numei nu hin eisungol lhatai. Keiman thu adih'a tanlhah peh ahinadin vetpeh inge. Ajeh chu amanu hin athilthum jinga kon hin ei sulungvai lhatai,” ati.
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
6 Chuin Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Hiche chondihlou thutanpa a konin kihil un.”
Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 “Ama jengin jong achaina a thu adih'a tandia ahin gellhah ahi. Hijeh a chu Pathen in alhenchom te, ama koma asun ajan'a kapjing techu thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi ti nagel lou u ham? Amaho chu donlouvin koijing in te natim?
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 Kaseipeh nahiuve, aman kinloitah a thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi! Ahinlah Mihem Chapa hung kit teng, leiset chunga hin mi ijat tahsan nei mudoh intem?” ati.
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
9 Chuin Yeshuan hiche thusim hi mi konkhat ama chonphatna a kisonga midang musit ho dingin aseiye:
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 “Mi ni houin ah taona mangin ache lhon'e. Khat chu Pharisee mi ahin, chule adang khatpa chu musit umtah kaidong ahi.
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Pharisee mipa chu adingin hitin ataove: ‘Kakipah'e Pathen, adangho banga chonse kahilou jeh in. Ajeh chu lepthol in kabol pon, kachonse pon, chule jonthanhoi jong kabolpoi. Keima atahbeh in khuche kaidongpa tobang kahipoi!
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 Keiman hapta khat in nivei an kangol'in, kasum mu jat a konin soma khat kapei,’ ati.
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
13 Ahivangin kaidong pachu gamlatah a adingin chule amit jeng'a jong vanlam ve ngamlouvin ataove. Chusang chun lungkham tah in aman a-op achum'in hitin aseiye, ‘O’ Pathen, neilungset in, ijeh inem itile chonse kahibouve, ati.
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 ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 Kaseipeh nahiuve, Pharisee pa hilou, hiche chonsepa chu Pathen ang-ah them achangin inlam akiletai. Ijeh inem itile ama kichoisang hochu suhnem'a umding, chule akineosah hochu dopsang'a umdiu ahi,” ati.
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Nikhat nule pa phabep in achateu chapang neocha chaho chu Yeshuan atham'a phatthei aboh dingin ahin puiyun ahi. Ahivangin aseijuiten hichu amuphat un, anule apateu koma chun ama nasuboi bep uve tin ahouse uvin ahi.
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 Chuin Yeshuan chapang ho chu akouvin chule aseijuite hengah aseitai, “Chapang ho chu kahengah hung uhen. Jahda hih'un! Ajeh chu Pathen Lenggam chu hiche chapang neocha tobanghoa ding bou ahi.
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 Thutah kaseipeh nahiuve, koi hileh chapang neocha banga Pathen Lenggam sanglou chu lutlou hel ding ahi,” ati.
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 Khatvei hou lamkai khat hin hiche thudoh hi adonge: “Houhil pha, tonsot hinna kanei thei na dinga ipi kabol ding ham?” ati. (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 “Ipi bol'a apha tia nei kou ham” tin aledoh in, Pathen bouseh dihtah'a pha ahi.
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20 Ahin nathudoh donbut nan, thupeh ho nahet chula: “Nangman jon bol hih'in, tolthat hih'in, gucha hih'in, jouvin mi hehse hih in, nanu napa jabol in,” ati.
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Mipan adonbut in, “Hiche thupeh ho jouse hi kachapan laiya pat kajui sohkei ahitai,” ati.
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22 Yeshuan adonbutna thu ajah phat chun, hitin aseitai, “Nabol loulai thilkhat aume. Nanei jouse joh in lang hiche sum chu mivaicha ho pen, chutileh van'a gou nanei ding ahi. Chuteng hungin, neijuiyin,” ati.
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 will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
23 Ahivangin mipa chun hichu ajahdoh phat in alung kham lheh tan ahi, ijeh inem itile amachu haosatah ahi.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Yeshuan hichu amuphat in, aseitai, “Mihaosa Pathen Lenggam alut ding hi iti hah hitam!”
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 “Atahbeh in, heobil hom'a sangongsao alut galkai ding hi mihaosa Pathen Lenggam a alut ding sangin abaijoi,” ati.
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
26 Hiche akisei jajouse chun aseiyun, “Achutileh vannoi leiset'a koiham huhhing na chang jou ding?” atiuve.
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27 Aman adonbut in, “Mihem dinga hithei lou chu Pathen dinga hithei ahi,” ati.
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
28 Peter in aseiyin, “Keihon nangma jui dingin ka-in'u kadalhauve,” ati.
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
29 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Henge” chuleh ka lhamon nahiuve, “Koihileh Pathen Lenggam jal'a a'in ham, ajinu ham, asopiho ham, ahiloule anu apa ham achate ham pedoh chan chu,
“I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Seijui somleni ho atumbeh'in apuidoh in, Yeshuan ajah uva aseiye, “Ngaiyun, eiho Jerusalem chetou ding ihiuve, Mihem Chapa chungchang thudol'a themgao thusei jouse guilhun na ding mun chu ahi.
Gathering the Twelve around 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 Amachu Rome te khut'a pehdoh'a umding ahi, chule amachu tot thanghoi'a umding, jachat umtah'a kibol ding, chil kisetkhum ding ahi.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 Amahon avoh'uva chule athadiu ahi, ahivanga anithum nileh thoukit ding ahi,” ati.
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Ahin, amahon hitiho thuhi khatcha ahethei pouve. Athusei ho athupije chu amaho a kona ki im mang ahi, hijeh a chu athusei chu amattoh thei lou u ahitai.
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Yeshuan Jericho anaisuh lai hin, mitcho khutdo khat lamsih'ah ana touve.
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 Aman mihonpi kijot khuto gin ajah phat in, ipi thu hitam ti adongin ahi.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Nazereth Yeshuan hikom chu ahopa ahi ti aseipeh tauve.
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Hijeh chun amapa ahung eojah tan, “Yeshua, David chapa, neilungset in!” ahintin ahi.
he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
39 “Thip'in” tin masang langa miho chun ahutot tauvin ahi. Ahivangin ama awgingjep in ahapen cheh tan, “David Chapa, neilungset in!” ati.
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 Yeshuan ajahdoh phat in, adingin mipa chu ahinpui lut diuvin athupeh tai. Mipa ahung nai toh lhonin Yeshuan adongin,
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 “Ipi nabolpeh leng natim?” tin adong tai. Aman, “Pakai, kho muleng kati!” ati.
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
42 Chuin Yeshuan aseiyin, “Aphai, kho mutan! Natahsan in nadamsah ahitai,” ati.
And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
43 Apettah chun mipa chun kho amutai chuleh amapan Yeshua nung ajuiyin Pathen avahchoi tai. Chuleh amujousen jong Pathen avahchoi cheh tauve.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
