Luke 18
1 AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2 There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3 But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
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 he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard 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 is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
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 will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
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 quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
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 publican.
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.
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
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!
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
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 into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
15 Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, 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 Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: 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.
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall 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 asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting 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 dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
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 knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
Who said: All these things have I 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.
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
He having heard these things, became 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 Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches 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 pass through the eye 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 they that heard it, said: Who then 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.
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have 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,
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
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.
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
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 word was hid from them, and they understood not 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.
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on 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 they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on 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 Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
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 saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
