Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner!
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."
I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
But Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these,
17 Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
of them is the kingdom of heaven. Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.
Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
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.'"
The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."
It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
27 But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
28 And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
29 He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha,
31 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
But not one of these understood they: for this word was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.
35 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
38 He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to him,
41 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
