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].
Lao esa, Yesus nanori ana dedꞌenu nara nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ, fo ara hule-oꞌe, nda namaꞌetu sa, no nda male-maꞌa sa. Ara musi ramahere rakandoo neu Lamatuaꞌ.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Dꞌudꞌuin taꞌo ia: “Sia kota esa hambu mana nggero-furiꞌ sa nda mana tao-afiꞌ neu Lamatualain sa. Ana nda tao-afiꞌ neu esa sa boe.
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!’]
Sia naa o hambu ina falu sa akaꞌ neu noꞌe mana nggero-furiꞌ a nae, ‘Amaꞌ mana nggero-furiꞌ! Muꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea ngga no matetuꞌ, o!’
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,
Fefeun mana nggero-furiꞌ a nda tao-afiꞌ neu ina falu a sa. Te dodꞌoo ma ana bengge rena e ena. Boe ma ana dudꞌuꞌa nae, ‘Memaꞌ au ia nda tao-afiꞌ neu Lamatualain sa, lelenan fai neu atahori.
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!’”
Te ina falu ia tao langga ngga nambeta ena. Huu naa, malole lenaꞌ au uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat na no ndoos. Hokoꞌ na, ana akaꞌ nema tao naꞌabꞌebꞌenggeꞌ au nakandondooꞌ a.’
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Naa, hei dꞌua sobꞌa mana nggero-furiꞌ dꞌeulakaꞌ naa oꞌolan.
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].
Mete ma dodꞌoo ma ana tulu-fali ina falu a, na, Lamatualain o nau tulu-fali atahori mana hule-oꞌe hatuꞌ-rerelon fo noꞌe tulu-faliꞌ sia E. Te Lamatuaꞌ nda mana eꞌo-lali fai a sa.
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]”
Ana naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat nara lai-lai, Naa de Au ae utane taꞌo ia: mete ma Au, atahori Tebꞌe-Tebꞌeꞌ ia, baliꞌ uma ena, neꞌo Au feꞌe hambu undaa o atahori mamahereꞌ sia raefafoꞌ do hokoꞌ?”
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.
Yesus dui seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ sa, soꞌal atahori mana hii nananaru aon ma naloe-nadꞌae atahori laen ra. Ana dui nae,
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.
“Hambu amaꞌ rua reu hule-oꞌe sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Esa, atahori mia partei agama Farisi; esa fai, mana edꞌa bea. [Atahori Yahudi ra rae atahori Farisi ra, atahori meumareꞌ. Ma ara rae mana edꞌa bea ra atahori nda maloleꞌ ra sa.]
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]!
Losa ume hule-oꞌeꞌ ma, atahori Farisi a nambariiꞌ mesaꞌ ne ma hule-oꞌe nae, ‘Makasi Lamatuaꞌ, huu au ia, atahori maloleꞌ. Au nda deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ atahori laen ra sa. Au nda dadꞌi naꞌo sa. Au nda mana usuu-usetiꞌ sa. Au nda mana hohonggeꞌ sa. Makasi, Lamatuaꞌ, huu au o nda deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ mana edꞌa bea ia sa.
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!’
Au manggate puasa nggarei sa na lao rua. Ma au endi babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia sanahulu mia basa saa fo au hambuꞌ a.’ Atahori Farisi naa hule-oꞌe taꞌo naa.
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]!’”
Te mana edꞌa bea a nambariiꞌ naꞌadꞌodꞌooꞌ sia dea-deaꞌ. Ana nda nambarani botiꞌ matan fo mete ataꞌ neu sa. Ana hule-oꞌe no beꞌutee langgan ma rala mambalulutuꞌ nae, O, Lamatualain. Kasian au, atahori mana masala-singgoꞌ ia! Fee ambon neu au dꞌei!’
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}.”
Naa, leleꞌ atahori karuaꞌ naa ra lao baliꞌ ume reu, mae bee ka maloleꞌ no Lamatualain? Atahori Farisi mana koaoꞌ a do, atahori mana edꞌa bea? Tantu Ana simbo no maloleꞌ mana edꞌa bea, mana naloe-nadꞌae ralan. Ma Ana nda tao-afiꞌ neu atahori Farisi a sa. Huu Lamatualain naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ atahori mana koaoꞌ ma nananaru atahori mana naloe-nadꞌae ralan.”
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].
Lao esa, atahori ra oꞌo ro anadikiꞌ ra reu Yesus, fo Ana ndae liman neu se ma olaꞌ fee se papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Yesus ana dedꞌenu nara rita taꞌo naa, ma ara ai atahori naa ra.
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].
Te Yesus simbo nala anadikiꞌ mana rema risiꞌ E. Basa ma ana ai ana dedꞌenun nara nae, “Hela fo anadikiꞌ naa ra rema risiꞌ Au. Ama afiꞌ ai se. Misinedꞌa malolole! Huu atahori mana nae dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin, ana musi namahena neuꞌ a Lamatualain, ona anadikiꞌ namahena neu ina-ama nara.”
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.”
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Lao esa, hambu atahori Yahudi ra malanggan esa neu natane Yesus nae, “Ama Meser nenefee hadꞌa-hormat! Au musi tao taꞌo bee fo uhine ae bisa masoꞌ sorga uu fo usodꞌa ukundoo o Lamatualain?” (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]
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de moꞌe mae, ‘Mana nenefee hadꞌa-hormat’? Akaꞌ esaꞌ a nenefee hadꞌa-hormat, naeni Lamatualain.
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.’”
Naa! Ho bubꞌuluꞌ ena, to, Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen mia fai dalahulun, oi: Afiꞌ hohongge; afiꞌ tati-mbau misa atahori; Afiꞌ miminaꞌo; Afi dadꞌi sakasii peko-lelekoꞌ; ma fee hadꞌa-hormat neu ina-ama mara.”
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]?)”
Atahori naa nataa nae, “Tebꞌe, Amaꞌ! Au tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra eniꞌ a aꞌana ngga.”
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!”
Rena taꞌo naa ma, Yesus nae, “Malole! Te feꞌe hela dalaꞌ esa fai. Naeni, baliꞌ fo muu seo hendi basa hata-heto mara. Basa naa, muu babꞌanggi dꞌoiꞌ naa ra reu atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ ra. Dei fo baliꞌ uma fo tungga Au leo. Te dei fo Lamatualain bala-bꞌae fee nggo hata-hetoꞌ sia sorga.”
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Atahori naa rena taꞌo naa, ma ralan susa, huu suꞌin naen seli.
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].
Yesus mete ana laoꞌ no rala nambalulutu, ma Ana nafadꞌe ana dedꞌenun nara nae, “Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ memaꞌ susa seli masoꞌ sorga neu.
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].”
Hita taꞌasasamaꞌ no dalaꞌ laen fai. Memaꞌ bꞌanda onta monaeꞌ a nda bisa lalaet rala neu tungga sosoot ndolan sa. Onaꞌ naa boe atahori mana namahenaꞌ a hata-heton, te nda namahena neu Lamatuaꞌ sa, ana o nda bisa masoꞌ sorga rala neu sa boe.
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]!”
Atahori mana rena Yesus olaꞌ taꞌo naa, ratane E rae, “Mete ma memaꞌ atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ susa taꞌo naa, na, atahori mataꞌ bee mana hambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Yesus nataa nae, “Soaꞌ neu atahori, memaꞌ dalaꞌ hetar nda bisa dadꞌi sa. Te soaꞌ neu Lamatualain basaꞌ e bisa dadꞌi.”
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?]”)
Boe ma Petrus olaꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Hai lao hela basa hata-heto mara ena, fo tungga Amaꞌ. Te dei fo hai hambu saa?”
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],
Yesus nataa nae, “Petrus! Rena malolole! Atahori mana lao hela umen, saon, odi-aꞌa nara, ama-ina nara, do ana nara, huu nalalao Lamatualain ue-tataos nara,
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}.
Yesus no ana dedꞌenun atahori kasanahulu rua ra fo neu olaꞌ mesaꞌ ne no se nae, “Basa hei bubꞌuluꞌ mae, ia naa hita lao tisiꞌ kota Yerusalem ena. Losa naa, basa dalaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara suraꞌ feꞌesaꞌan soꞌal Atahori Matetuꞌ naa, dei fo dadꞌi onaꞌ saa mana nenesuraꞌ helaꞌ ena.
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.
Dei fo ara fee Au neu atahori deaꞌ mana nda ramahere neu Lamatualain sa. Boe ma ara raneneut Au, raꞌamamaeꞌ Au no mataꞌ-mataꞌ, puras miru neu Au,
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
filo Au, basa ma tao risa Au. Te fai katelun, ma Au usodꞌa baliꞌ.”
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].
Rena Yesus olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana dedꞌenu nara bingun, huu ara nda feꞌe rahine dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa sosoan sa.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Leleꞌ Yesus se rae losa kota Yeriko, hambu atahori pokeꞌ sa endoꞌ hule-huleꞌ sia dalaꞌ suun.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
Leleꞌ ana rena atahori hetar tungga naa ma, ana natane nae, “We! Saa sia ia?”
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Boe ma atahori rafadꞌe rae, “Yesus, mia Nasaret, laoꞌ tungga ia.”
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Atahori pokeꞌ naa rena nala ma, ana nggasi nahereꞌ nae, “Yesus! Mane Daud tititi-nonosin, e! Sue au dꞌei!”
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!”
Atahori mana laoꞌ sia Yesus matan ai e rae nee-nee. Te ana boe nggasi nahereꞌ nae, “Mane Daud tititi-nonosin, e! Kasian au dꞌei!”
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Leleꞌ Yesus rena taꞌo naa, ma Ana nambariiꞌ. Ma Ana denu atahori reu rala atahori pokeꞌ a. Losa matan ma, Yesus natane e nae,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
Ho nau Au tao saa fee nggo?” Ana nataa nae, “Amaꞌ! Au oꞌe fo fee au bisa mete ita.”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Yesus nataa e nae, “Maloleꞌ boe. Huu mumuhere mae, Au bisa tao uhaiꞌ nggo, de ia naa ho bisa mita ena.”
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.
Aibꞌoiꞌ ma, atahori pokeꞌ a nita neuꞌ ena. Boe ma ana tungga Yesus no koa-kio Lamatualain. Basa atahori mana rita taꞌo naa, o koa-kio neu Lamatuaꞌ boe.
