Luka 18
1 Eka Yesu nogoyo ngero ne jopuonjrene mondo onyisgi gibed ka gilamo kinde duto kendo kik chunygi aa.
And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
2 Nowachonegi niya, “E dala moro ne nitie jangʼad bura mane ok oluoro Nyasaye kata ok odewo ji.
saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
3 To ne nitie dhako ma chwore otho moro e dalano manobedo kadhiyo ire pile giywakne kakwaye ni, ‘Yie ingʼadna bura e kinda gi ngʼat ma hinyani!’
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 “Kuom kinde moko moromo nodagi, to bangʼe mogik nowacho kende owuon ni, ‘Kata obedo ni ok aluoro Nyasaye kendo ok adewo ji kamano
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
5 to nikech dhako ma chwore othoni osiko chanda, abiro neno ni angʼadone bura kare, mondo kik oola gibiro ma obirogo ira pile!’”
yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
6 To Ruoth nowacho niya, “Winjeuru gima ne jangʼad bura ma ok kareno owacho!
And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
7 To donge Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura kare ni joge moyier, maywakne odiechiengʼ gi otieno? Bende obiro tamore ma ok owinjogi?
and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?
8 Awachonu ni obiro neno ni ongʼadnegi bura kare kendo mapiyo. Kata kamano, ka Wuod Dhano obiro, bende obiro yudo yie e piny?”
I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
9 Ne joma noketo genogi kuomgi giwegi maparo ni gin joma kare kendo mane ochayo ji mamoko duto, Yesu nogoyonegi ngero kama:
And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
10 “Ji ariyo nodhi lemo ei hekalu, achiel ne en ja-Farisai to machielo ne jasol osuru.
'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
11 Ja-Farisai moro nochungo malo mi olamo ka opwoyore ni, ‘Nyasaye, agoyoni erokamano ni ok an kaka ji mamoko, ma jomecho, joma timo timbe maricho, jochode, kata mana kaka jasol osuruni.
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;
12 Atweyo chiemo nyadiriyo e juma ka juma, kendo achiwo achiel kuom apar mar gigo duto manwangʼo.’
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
13 “To jasol osuru nochungo mabor. Ne ok onyal kata mana ngʼiyo polo malo, to nogoyo kore kendo nowacho ni, ‘Nyasaye, kecha, an jaricho.’
'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!
14 “Awachonu ni ngʼatni, ma ok ngʼat machielono, nodhi dala ka en kare e nyim Nyasaye. Nimar ngʼato angʼato matingʼore malo kende nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
15 Ji ne kelo nyithindo matindo ir Yesu, mondo ogwedhgi. Kane jopuonjre noneno mano negikwerogi.
And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,
16 To Yesu noluongo nyithindo ire kendo nowacho niya, “Weuru nyithindo matindo obi ira, kendo kik utamgi, nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye en mar ji machal ka magi.
and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
17 Awachonu adier ni, ngʼato ma ok orwako pinyruoth Nyasaye kaka nyathi matin ok nodonji ngangʼ.”
verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
18 Jatelo moro nopenje niya, “Japuonj maber, en angʼo monego atim mondo ayud ngima mochwere kaka girkeni mara?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu nodwoke kapenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo iluonga ni ngʼama ber? Onge ngʼama ber, makmana Nyasaye kende.
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
20 Ingʼeyo chike mawacho ni: ‘Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik ihang wach, luor wuonu gi minu.’”
the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'
21 Nodwoke niya, “Magi duto aserito nyaka aa rawera.”
And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
22 Kane Yesu owinjo wachno, nowachone niya, “Pod iremo gimoro achiel. Lok mwanduni duto ma in-go pesa, mondo ipog joma odhier, eka inibed gi mwandu mokan e polo. Bangʼ timo kamano to bi mondo iluwa.”
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'
23 Ka nowinjo ma, nobedo mokuyo ahinya, nikech ne en ngʼat man-gi mwandu mathoth ahinya.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
24 Yesu nongʼiye kendo nowachone niya, “Mano kaka en gima tek mondo jomoko odonji e pinyruoth Nyasaye.
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
25 Chutho, yot mondo ngamia okadhi e wangʼ sandan, moloyo jamoko donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye!”
for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
26 Jogo manowinjo mani nopenjo niya, “Kare en ngʼa manyalo kwo?”
And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
27 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Gino ma ok nyalre gi dhano, nyalore kuom Nyasaye.”
and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
28 Petro nowachone niya, “Wan waseweyo gik moko duto mane wan-go mondo waluwi!”
And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
29 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni, onge ngʼato moseweyo dalane kata jaode kata owetene, kata jonywolne, kata nyithinde nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye
and he said to them, 'Verily 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 reign of God,
31 Yesu nokawo jopuonjre apar gariyo otero tenge kendo nowachonegi niya, “Eri wadhi nyaka Jerusalem, to gigo duto mane ondiki gi jonabi kuom Wuod Dhano ibiro timogi.
And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,
32 Ibiro chiwe ne joma ok jo-Yahudi. Gibiro jare, giniyanye, mi gingʼudh olawo kuome.
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
33 Bende ginichwade ma gininege, to chiengʼ mar adek enochier kendo.”
and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
34 Jopuonjre ne ok owinjo tiend wechegi kata matin. Tiend wechegi nopandnegi, kendo ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owuoyo kuome.
And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Kane Yesu chiegni chopo Jeriko, ngʼat moro ma muofu noyudo obet e bath yo kakwecho.
And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 Kane owinjo ka oganda kadho, nopenjo ni en angʼo matimore.
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Negidwoke niya, “Yesu ja-Nazareth ema kadho.”
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
38 Noluongo matek niya, “Yesu, Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
39 To jogo ma notelo e yo nokwere kendo nowachone ni olingʼ thi, to nomedo goyo koko niya, “Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
40 Yesu nochungo kendo nochiko mondo okel ngʼatno ire. Kane obiro machiegni, Yesu nopenje niya,
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
41 “Angʼo midwaro mondo atimni?” Nodwoko niya, “Ruoth, adwaro mondo anen.”
saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
42 Yesu nowachone niya, “Nen! Yieni ema ochangi.”
And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
43 Gikanyono nochako neno kendo noluwo bangʼ Yesu, kopako Nyasaye. Ka ji duto noneno mano, negipako Nyasaye.
and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
