Luke 18
1 And he spoke to them a similitude also, that men should pray at all times, and not become weary.
Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
2 There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, and regarded not men.
Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh.
3 And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, and said: Vindicate me against my adversary.
Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih, ' Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak,’ a ti nah.
4 And he would not, for a long time: but afterwards, he said to himself: Though I fear not God, and regard not men,
Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te, ' Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
5 yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will vindicate her; that she may not be always coming and troubling me.
Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh?,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
6 And our Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
7 And will not God, much more, vindicate his chosen, who call upon him by day and by night; and have patience with them?
A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
8 I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Yet the Son of man will come; and will he find faith on the earth?
Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
9 And he spake this similitude, against certain persons, who had confidence in themselves that they were righteous, and despised every one.
A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
10 Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
“Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
11 And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican.
Pharisee tah amah la pai tih, “Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem,
12 But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all I possess.
Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek, 'tila thangthui.
13 And the publican stood afar off, and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih, ' Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah,’ a ti.
14 I say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.
Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
15 And they brought to him infants, that he might touch them: and his disciples saw them, and rebuked them.
Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
16 But Jesus called them, and said to them: Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those that are like them, of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
17 Verily I say to you, That he who shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, will not enter it.
Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
18 And one of the chiefs asked him, and said to him: Good Teacher, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me, good? For, there is none good, except one; God.
Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not testify a false testimony; honor thy father and thy mother.
Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
21 He said to him: All these have I kept, from my childhood.
Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
22 And when Jesus heard these words, he said to him: One thing is lacking to thee: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou wilt have a treasure in heaven; and come after me.
A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
23 And he, when he heard these words, was dejected; for he was very rich.
Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was dejected, he said: How difficult it is, for those that have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!
Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai.
25 It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man the kingdom of God.
Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
26 They who heard it, said to him: Who then can have life?
Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
27 And Jesus said: Those things which, with men, cannot be, with God, can be.
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
28 Simon Cephas said to him: Lo, we have left every thing, and come after thee.
Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
29 Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you: There is no man, who hath left houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih.
31 And Jesus took his twelve, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things written in the prophets, concerning the Son of man, will be fulfilled.
Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni.
32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit in his face;
Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni,
33 and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise.
Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
34 But not one of these things, did they understand; but this subject was hidden from them, and they knew not the things told to them.
Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
35 And as they came near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the side of the way, begging.
Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
36 And he heard the noise of the multitude that passed, and inquired what it was.
Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
37 They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean is passing by.
Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pauh.
38 And he called out, and said: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
39 And they that went before Jesus rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called to him. And when he came to him, he asked him,
Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
41 and said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And he said: My Lord, that I may see.
“Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
42 And Jesus said to him: See thou; thy faith hath vivified thee.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
43 And immediately he saw. And he followed after him, and glorified God. And all the people who beheld, gave glory to God.
Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
