Luke 18
1 AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 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,
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 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.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 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!
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 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.
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 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,
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 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.
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 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.
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 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.
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 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!
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 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,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 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.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 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.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 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!
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to him,
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
