Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung inbasing aduda, matam pumnamakta haijagadabani aduga keidounungda pukning hantharoidabani haiba tambinaba pandam ama hairak-i,
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
“Karigumba Sahar amada Tengban Mapu kidaba migidamak karisu khandaba wayel mapu ama leirammi.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Aduga sahar adumaktada lukhrabi amasu leirammi. Mahakna wayen mapu aduda tattana laktuna, ‘Eihakki yeknabagi mathakta achumba wayel toubiyu’ haina haijarammi.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Matam kuina wayen mapu aduna yaramde adubu mameidadi mahak masa mathanta haijarammi, ‘Eina Tengban Mapubu kidrabasu aduga migidamak karisu khandrabasu,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
lukhrabi asina eingonda awaba piduna leibagi maramna mahakkidamak ei achumba wayel tourage. Eina masi toudragadi mahakna asum laktuna eibu yetlaragani.’”
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Adudagi Ibungona makha tana hairak-i, “Wayel chumdaba mapu aduna haiba adu tao.
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
Adunadi Tengban Mapuda ahing nungthil animakta mateng panbinaba haijariba Ibungo masamakki khandokkhraba mising adugidamak mahakna achumba wayel toubiroidra? Mahakna makhoibu mateng pangbada thinthaduna leigadra?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Eina nakhoida hairibasini, mahakna makhoigidmak achumba wayel thunamak toubigani. Adubu Migi Machanupa aduna lakpa matamda malem asida mangonda thajaba mi mahakna phanggadra?”
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Adudagi Jisuna masa mathantabu achumba chatpani haina thajajaba aduga mi ateibuna hanthana khanba makhoising aduda pandam asimasu hairak-i,
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
“Nupa anikhak Mapugi Sanglenda haijanabagidamak kakhatlammi. Nupa amana phariseeni aduga amna kanggat khombani.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
Adudagi pharisee aduna lepkhattuna masagi maramda asumna haijakhi, ‘Tengban Mapu, eina nangbu thagatchari, eidi atoppa misinggumna namja-namtheknaba, pukchel sengdaba, amasung nupi lannaba mi natte aduga mapham asida leiriba kanggat khomba mi asigumbasu natte.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Eina chayol amada anirak chara helli aduga eigi leijaba pumnamakki saruk taragi ama nangonda pi.’
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
Adubu kanggat khomba adunadi lapna leplaga mamai phaoba swargaromda yengkhatchaba ngamjadana leirammi aduga mahakna mathabak yeijaraduna hairak-i, ‘Tengban Mapu, papchenba eibu chanbiyu.’
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Eina nakhoida hairibasini, madudi pharisee adu nattaduna kanggat khomba adubu Tengban Mapuna achumba chatpa oina singthanabiduna mayumda hankhirammi. Maramdi masa mathantabu chaohanjaba mi adubu nollukhangani aduga masa mathanta nollukchaba mi adubu chaohanbigani.”
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Nongma mioi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuna khut thambiduna yaipha-thoujal pihannabagidamak Jisugi nakta puraklammi. Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna madu ubada makhoida cheirammi.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Adubu Jisuna makhoibu kousinduna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingna eigi inakna lakchasanu, makhoibu khamganu, maramdi Tengban Mapugi leibak adu makhoi asigumbasinggini.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, apikpa angang amagumna Tengban Mapugi leibak adubu lousindaba kanagumba amatana Tengban Mapugi leibakta khak changloi.”
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Nongma Jihudigi luchingba amana Jisuda asumna hanglammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba punsi phangjanaba eina kari toujagadage?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Karigi nangna eingonda aphaba haina kouribano? Tengban Mapu nattana aphaba kana amata leite.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Nahakna Tengban Mapugi wayel yathangsing asi khang-i: ‘Mitu-miwa lannaganu, mi hatkanu, huran-ganu, aranba sakhi piganu, amasung nama napabu ikai khumnou.’”
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
Nupa aduna khumlak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba wayel yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i.”
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jisuna mahakki paokhum adu tarabada nupa aduda hairak-i, “Houjik nahakna tougadaba ama watli. Nahakki leijaba pumba yonthoklaga sel adu lairabasingda pithok-u, adu oirabadi swargada nahakki lan leigani; aduga lak-u, eigi itung illu.”
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Adubu nupa aduna madu tabada pukning yamna warammi, maramdi mahak inak yamna khunlammi.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
Maduda nupa aduna pukning yamna waba adu Jisuna uraduna hairakki, “Inakkhunba misingna Tengban Mapugi leibakta changba kayada lukhrabano!
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Maduda wa adu taba mising aduna hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Jisuna khumlak-i, “Mioibagi maphamda oithoktaba adu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi oithokpa ngaktani.”
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
Maduda Peter-na hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina eikhoigi leijaba pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injari.”
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, Tengban Mapu leibakkidamak mayum-makei, nattraga mama-mapa, nattraga machin-manao, nattraga nupi- angang thadoklaga
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Adudagi Jisuna tung-inba taranithoi adubu tonganna puthokladuna makhoida hairak-i, “Yengu, eikhoina Jerusalem-da chatli, aduga Migi Machanupa adugi maramda Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousingna irambasing adu thunglagani.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Mahakpu Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi makhutta pithokkani. Makhoina mahakpu noknagani, ikaiba pigani amasung tin sitchingani.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Makhoina mahakpu phugani amasung mahakpu hatkani, aduga humnisuba numitta mahakna amuk hinggatkani.”
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Adubu tung-inbasing aduna hairibasing adu amata khangba ngamlamde. Waheising adugi nunggi oiba wahandok adu makhoida lotlammi amasung Ibungona hairiba adugi maramda makhoina khangba ngamkhide.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Aduga Jisuna Jericho naksillaklabada mimit tangba nupa ama chakniduna lambi mapanda phamduna leirammi.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
Mahakna miyam amana lambi aduda chatpagi khonjel adu tabada, mahakna kari thoklabage haiduna hanglammi.
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nazareth-ki Jisu chatli.”
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Maduda mahakna laoraduna hairak-i, “David-ki Machanupa, Jisu! Eibu chanbiyu!”
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Maduda mang thaduna chatlibasing aduna cheiraduna mahakpu tumin leinanaba hairammi. Adubu mahakna hennadum houna laorak-i, “David-ki Machanupa! Eibu chanbiyu!”
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Maduda Jisuna chatlambadagi lepladuna mahakpu puraknaba yathang pirammi. Aduga mahakna manakta laklabada, Jisuna mangonda hanglak-i,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
“Eina nanggidamak kari toubiba nahakna pambage?” Mahakna khumlak-i, “Oja Ibungo, eihakna mit ujaba pamjei.”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahak uba phangjaro, nahakki thajabana nahakpu phahanbire.”
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
Khudak adumaktada nuba adu uba phangjare, aduga Tengban Mapubu thagatchaduna Jisugi tung injare. Aduga madu ubada miyam adunasu Tengban Mapubu thagatcharammi.
