Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
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 "There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man.
“Oasr sie mwet nununku in sie siti srisrik su tiana sangeng sin God, ku akfulatye kutena mwet.
3 "In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of 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 "For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for 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 woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
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 "Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says.
Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Porongo ma mwet nununku koluk sac fahk inge.
7 "And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping 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 quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon 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 Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
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 are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer.
“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 apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;
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 pay tithes of all my possessions.’
Nga lalo len luo ke wik se, ac nga sot nu sum sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa luk!’
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O God be merciful to me, the 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 that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall 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 And they kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke 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 But Jesus called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
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 "I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get 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 ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
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 "Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but 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 bear false witness, Honor your father and 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 "All of these," he replied, "I have kept from my youth up."
Ac mwet sac topuk, “Nga nuna akos ma sap inge nukewa oe ke nga tulik me.”
22 And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and 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 words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly rich.
Tusruk ke mwet sac lohng ma inge, arulana toasrla insial, mweyen el arulana kasrup.
24 Jesus looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
Jesus el liye lah mwet sac toasrla ac el fahk, “Arulana upa nu sin mwet kasrup in ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God!
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Ac fisrasr soko camel in fahsr sasla ke mutun soko nilul, liki sie mwet kasrup in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
Na mwet ma lohng kas ma el fahk uh siyuk, “Fin ouingan, su ac ku in moul?”
27 "Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
Jesus el topuk, “Ma su kofla orek sin mwet uh, God El ku in oru.”
28 Then Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes and followed you."
Na Peter el fahk, “Liye, kut filiya ma lasr nukewa ac fahsr tukum.”
29 And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
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 Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.
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 "He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, fahk kas koluk kacl, ac anel.
33 "and they will scourge and kill him; and the third day he will rise again."
Elos ac fah srunglul ac unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
34 But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
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 Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
Ke Jesus el tuku apkuranyang nu Jericho, oasr mwet kun se muta sisken inkanek uh ac ngusr.
36 He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
Ke el lohng ke un mwet uh fahsr alukella el siyuk, “Mea se inge?”
37 They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Jesus lun Nazareth el a fahsryak ngi.”
38 Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!"
Mwet kun sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Jesus! Wen nutin David! Pakomutuk!”
39 Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity 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 So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him 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 for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
“Mea kom lungse nga in oru nu sum?” Ac el topuk, “Leum, nga ke nga in sifilpa ku in liye.”
42 "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kwal, kom in liye! Lulalfongi lom akkeyekomla.”
43 Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to 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.
