Luk 18
1 Lungpout laipalah ratoum yungyoe awh, tie cangkhainae dawkvah Jisuh ni bangnuenae a dei.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 Khopui buet touh dawkvah Cathut hai ka taket hoeh ni teh tami hai barilawa ti ka tawn hoeh e lawkcengkung bawi buet touh ao.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Hote kho dawkvah lahmainu buet touh ao teh kai koe lah lawk na ceng pouh leih, telah atuhoitu pou a tho sin.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 Lawkcengkung bawi ni atueng moi ka saw lah a kangek.
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 Hateiteh, lawkcengkung bawi ni kai teh Cathut hai ka taket hoeh, tami barilawanae hai ka tawn hoeh e lah ka o ei, hete lahmainu ni pou na tarawk dawkvah, lawkceng pouh hoeh pawiteh boutbout tho vaiteh ka lungrei na thaisak han doeh. Hatdawkvah ahni koe lah lawk ka ceng pouh han toe telah a ti.
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Hathnukkhu Bawipa ni, hote lawkcengkung bawi ni a dei e teh na thai awh toe.
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Cathut ni a rawi tangcoung e taminaw ni amom tangmin lah a hram laihoi het pawiteh lawkceng pouh laipalah ao han 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 Kai ni ka dei e teh, ahnimouh koe lah karanglah lawk a ceng han. Hatei tami Capa a tho torei teh talai van vah yuemnae a hmu han nama aw, telah atipouh.
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Mahoima tamikalan lah kâpouk ni teh ayânaw hah banglahai ka noutna hoeh e tami koevah Jisuh ni bangnuenae lawk a dei.
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 Tami kahni touh teh bawkim dawk ratoum hanelah a cei roi. Buet touh teh Farasi lah ao teh, alouke teh tamuk ka cawng e lah ao.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Farasi ni a kangdue teh hettelah a ratoum. Oe Cathut, kai teh ayânaw patetlah ngainae kalen e, laithoe ka dei e, napui tongpa yonnae ka sak e tami lah ka o hoeh dawkvah nang koe ka lunghawi, hahoi hete tamuk ka cawng e tami patetlah hai ka o hoeh dawkvah ka lunghawi.
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 Yat touh dawkvah hnin hni touh rawca pou ka hai teh hnopai ka tawn e pueng pung hra pung touh ka poe telah a ti.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Hatei tamuk ka cawng e tami teh ahla poungnae koe a kangdue teh, kalvan lah khen ngam laipalah a tabut teh, oe Cathut, kai tamikayon na pahren haw telah a ti.
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 Kai ni ka dei e teh, Farasi laipalah hete tami heh yon ngaithoum lah ao teh im vah a ban. Bangkongtetpawiteh amahoima kârasang e tami teh rahnoum lah ao vaiteh amahoima kârahnoum e tami teh tawm lah ao han telah atipouh.
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 Hatnavah camonaw kut hoi tek hanelah Jisuh koe a thokhai awh. Hatei a hnukkâbangnaw ni a hmu navah a yue awh.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Hatei, Jisuh ni camonaw a kaw teh, camonaw kai koe tho sak awh. Ahnimouh hah cakâ awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut uknaeram teh het patet e taminaw hanelah nahoehmaw ao.
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 Lawkkatang ka dei. Cathut uknaeram teh hete camo patetlah ka dâw hoeh e teh, hote ram dawkvah nâtuek hai kâen thai mahoeh telah atipouh.
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 Hahoi, bawi buet touh ni Bawipa hanelah, kahawipoung e saya, a yungyoe hringnae râw ka coe thai nahanelah bangmaw ka sak han telah atipouh. (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jisuh ni, bangkongmaw kahawi e saya telah na ti pouh, telah a pacei teh, Cathut laipalah apihai tami kahawi awm hoeh.
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 Kâpoelawknaw hah na panue han doeh, uicuk hanh, tami thet hanh, parawt hanh, laithoe kampangkhai hanh, na manu hoi na pa barih telah atipouh.
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 Ahni ni, hete kâlawknaw pueng ka nawca hoi koung ka tarawi toe telah ati. Hete lawk Jisuh ni a thai navah buet touh na panki rah atipouh.
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Na tawn e hno pueng yawt nateh mathoenaw poeh, hottelah na sak pawiteh, kalvan kho vah hno na tawn han, hathnukkhu tho nateh ka hnuk kâbang telah atipouh.
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 Ahni teh ka bawi poung e lah ao dawkvah, hete lawk a thai navah a lung thouk a mathoe.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Jisuh ni a lungmathoe e hah a hmu navah, ka tangrengnaw ni Cathut uknaeram dawk a kâen hane a ru poung bovaw.
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Ka tangrengnaw ni Cathut uknaeram dawk a kâen hlak teh kalauk ni phuengvang kâkhu dawk a kâen e a yawihnawn atipouh.
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 A lawk ka thai e taminaw ni, pawiteh apimaw rungngang lah kaawm han toung vaw, telah a pacei awh.
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Jisuh ni a dei pouh e teh, taminaw hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e naw hah Cathut hanelah teh a coung thai telah atipouh.
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Hatnavah Piter ni, khenhaw! kaimouh ni na hnukkâbang hanelah ka tawn e naw pueng ka ceitakhai teh na hnukkâbang awh toe, telah a ti.
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Jisuh ni a dei e teh, Oe, na dei e atang, het heh ka dei. Cathut uknaeram kecu dawkvah im thoseh, na yu thoseh, hmaunawngha thoseh, manu hoi na pa thoseh, canaw thoseh buetbuet touh ka cettakhai e tami niteh,
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 Jisuh ni a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh a kaw teh, thai awh haw, Jerusalem lah ka cei awh vaiteh hawvah profetnaw ni tami Capa e a kong a thut awh e pueng koung ka kuep han.
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 Jentelnaw e kut dawkvah poe lah ao vaiteh ahnimouh ni a panuikhai han, a dudam awh han, tamtui hoi a tamthawi awh han.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Bongpai hoi na hem awh vaiteh na thei a han, hatei apâthum hnin vah bout ka thaw han telah atipouh.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 A hnukkâbangnaw niyah hete kongnaw heh thai panuek awh hoeh, lawk dei ngainae a hro kecu dawkvah Jisuh ni a dei ngainae hah thai panuek awh hoeh.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Jisuh teh Jeriko kho teng a pha navah mitdawn buet touh teh lam teng vah a tahung teh hnopai a hei.
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Taminaw a cei e a thai navah bang nama aw, telah a pacei.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Ahnimouh ni, Nazareth tami Jisuh a tho lahun telah a dei pouh.
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Hahoi a hram teh, Jisuh, Devit e capa na pahren haw, telah a ti.
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Hmalah kaawm e taminaw ni lawkkamuem awmh telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe. Hatei hoe kacailah a hram teh, Devit capa, na pahren haw telah a ti.
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 Hatdawkvah, Jisuh ni a kangdue teh mit ka dawn e tami kai koe thokhai awh, telah kâ a poe. Ateng a pha navah Jisuh ni a thaw teh, bangmaw sak seh ti na ngai, telah a pacei.
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 Bawipa, mit ang han ka ngai, telah a dei pouh.
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 Jisuh ni, na mit ang naseh, na yuemnae ni na dam sak toe, telah atipouh.
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Hat nah tahma vah a mit bout a ang. Cathut a pholen teh a hnuk a kâbang. Ka hmawt e taminaw pueng ni hai Cathut teh a pholen awh.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
