Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Na Jesus el fahk sie pupulyuk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut in akkalemye nu selos lah elos enenu in pre pacl nukewa ac tia fuhleak.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man.
“Oasr sie mwet nununku in sie siti srisrik su tiana sangeng sin God, ku akfulatye kutena mwet.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Oasr pac katinmas se su muta pac in acn sac, su fahsri na mwet nununku sac ac kwafe sel elan kasrel aksuwosye lokoalok se inmasrol ac mwet se ma alein nu sel.
4 He would not for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Pacl na paht mwet nununku sac tiana oru kutu ma, na tok el sifacna nunku in el mu, ‘Nga finne tia sangeng sin God, ku sunakin kutena mwet,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
tusruk ke lupan lokoalok mutan se inge oru nu sik, nga ac kasrel elan eis suwohs ma el suk uh. Nga fin tia, na el ac sifil pacna fahsriyu nwe ke na nga totola na sel!’”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Porongo ma mwet nununku koluk sac fahk inge.
7 Will not God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Na mea, ya God El ac tia oru pac nununku lal in wo nu sin mwet lal su pang nu sel ke len ac fong in suk kasru sel? Ya El ac pahtlac in kasrelos?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Nga fahk nu suwos, El ac fah sa na in oru kasru lal nu selos. Tusruktu, ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, ya el ac konauk lulalfongi fin faclu?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Jesus el oayapa fahk pupulyuk se inge nu sin mwet su pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, ac elos pilesru mwet nukewa sayalos.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“Sie pacl ah mwet luo utyak nu in Tempul in pre. Sie selos mwet Pharisee, ac el ngia mwet eisani tax.
11 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.
Mwet Pharisee sac tuyak ac mukena pre, ‘O God, nga kulo nu sum lah nga tia oana mwet ngia, su rapku ac oru ma sesuwos ac kosro. Nga kulo pac lah nga tia oana mwet eisani tax se ingo.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Nga lalo len luo ke wik se, ac nga sot nu sum sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa luk!’
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
A mwet eisani tax sac tu oetok ah, ac el tia pacna keyak nu lucng ke el pre, a el puok iniwal ac fahk, ‘O God, pakoten nu sik, tuh nga sie mwet koluk!’”
14 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.”
Ac Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, mwet eisani tax sac pa God El insewowo se ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, ac tia mwet Pharisee sac. Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal fah akfulatyeyuk.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Kutu mwet uh use tulik srisrik natulos nu yurin Jesus tuh elan filiya paol faclos. Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos liye, elos multikin nu sin mwet ah.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
A Jesus el pangon tulik uh in tuku nu yorol, ac el fahk, “Lela tulik in tuku nu yuruk, ac nikmet ikololosi, tuh Tokosrai lun God ma lalos su oana elos.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos na su eis Tokosrai lun God oana sie tulik srisrik ac fah utyak nu we.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
Sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew el siyuk sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti wo, mea nga enenu in oru tuh nga fah usrui moul ma pahtpat?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Ac Jesus el siyuk sel, “Efu kom ku pangonyu wo? Wangin sie mwet wo, a God mukena.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Kom etu ma sap uh: ‘Nik kom kosro; nik kom akmas; nik kom pisrapasr; nik kom orek loh kikiap lain mwet; sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom.’”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Ac mwet sac topuk, “Nga nuna akos ma sap inge nukewa oe ke nga tulik me.”
22 When Jesus 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.”
Ke Jesus el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sel, “Oasr pac ma se lula kom enenu in oru. Kukakunla ma lom nukewa ac sang mani kac an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ac fah oasr mwe kasrup lom inkusrao; na kom fahsru fahsr tukuk.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Tusruk ke mwet sac lohng ma inge, arulana toasrla insial, mweyen el arulana kasrup.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Jesus el liye lah mwet sac toasrla ac el fahk, “Arulana upa nu sin mwet kasrup in ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God!
25 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.”
Ac fisrasr soko camel in fahsr sasla ke mutun soko nilul, liki sie mwet kasrup in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Na mwet ma lohng kas ma el fahk uh siyuk, “Fin ouingan, su ac ku in moul?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Jesus el topuk, “Ma su kofla orek sin mwet uh, God El ku in oru.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Na Peter el fahk, “Liye, kut filiya ma lasr nukewa ac fahsr tukum.”
29 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,
Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su filiya lohm sel, ku mutan kial, ku mwet wial, ku papa tumal ac nina kial, ku tulik natul ke sripen Tokosrai lun God,
31 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.
Jesus el srela mwet singoul luo uh nu saya ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng akwoye! Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, yen se ma nukewa mwet palu elos tuh simusla ke Wen nutin Mwet ac akpwayeyuk we.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, fahk kas koluk kacl, ac anel.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Elos ac fah srunglul ac unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Mwet tumal lutlut elos tiana kalem ke ma inge; kalmen kas inge wikla nu selos, ac elos tia etu ma Jesus el kaskas kac uh.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Ke Jesus el tuku apkuranyang nu Jericho, oasr mwet kun se muta sisken inkanek uh ac ngusr.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Ke el lohng ke un mwet uh fahsr alukella el siyuk, “Mea se inge?”
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Jesus lun Nazareth el a fahsryak ngi.”
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mwet kun sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Jesus! Wen nutin David! Pakomutuk!”
39 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!”
Mwet ma fahsr meet uh mulat nu sel ac fahk elan misla. Tusruk el wowoyak yohk liki meet, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sik!”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Ke ma inge Jesus el tui, ac sap in utuku mwet sac nu yorol. Ke el tuku apkuranyang, Jesus el siyuk sel,
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Mea kom lungse nga in oru nu sum?” Ac el topuk, “Leum, nga ke nga in sifilpa ku in liye.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kwal, kom in liye! Lulalfongi lom akkeyekomla.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
In pacl sacna el ku lac in liye, ac el fahsr tukun Jesus ac sang kulo nu sin God. Ke un mwet uh liye ma inge, elos nukewa kaksakin God.
