Luke 18
1 Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
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 “There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for man.
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 In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
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 time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for man,
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 yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
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 Master added: “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
Naa, hei dꞌua sobꞌa mana nggero-furiꞌ dꞌeulakaꞌ naa oꞌolan.
7 And God — will not he see that his own People, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them — though he holds his hand?
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 He will, I tell you, have justice done them, and that soon! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
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 Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded every one else with scorn, Jesus told this parable —
Yesus dui seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ sa, soꞌal atahori mana hii nananaru aon ma naloe-nadꞌae atahori laen ra. Ana dui nae,
10 “Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
“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 forward and began praying to himself in this way — ‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like other men — thieves, rogues, adulterers — or even like this tax-gatherer.
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 I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
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 Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even ‘to raise his eyes to Heaven’; but he kept striking his breast and saying ‘O God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
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 This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, while every one who humbles himself shall be exalted.”
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 Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
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 Jesus, however, called the little children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said, “and do not hinder them; for it is to the childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
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 I tell you, unless a man receives the Kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 And one of the Presidents asked Jesus this question — “Good Teacher, what must I do if I am to gain Immortal 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 “Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de moꞌe mae, ‘Mana nenefee hadꞌa-hormat’? Akaꞌ esaꞌ a nenefee hadꞌa-hormat, naeni Lamatualain.
20 You know the commandments — ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honour thy father and thy 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 “I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
Atahori naa nataa nae, “Tebꞌe, Amaꞌ! Au tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra eniꞌ a aꞌana ngga.”
22 Hearing this, Jesus said to him: “There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me.”
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 But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
Atahori naa rena taꞌo naa, ma ralan susa, huu suꞌin naen seli.
24 Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples: “How hard it is for men of wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!
Yesus mete ana laoꞌ no rala nambalulutu, ma Ana nafadꞌe ana dedꞌenun nara nae, “Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ memaꞌ susa seli masoꞌ sorga neu.
25 It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
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 “Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
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: “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
Yesus nataa nae, “Soaꞌ neu atahori, memaꞌ dalaꞌ hetar nda bisa dadꞌi sa. Te soaꞌ neu Lamatualain basaꞌ e bisa dadꞌi.”
28 “But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
Boe ma Petrus olaꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Hai lao hela basa hata-heto mara ena, fo tungga Amaꞌ. Te dei fo hai hambu saa?”
29 “I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, on account of the Kingdom of God,
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 Gathering the Twelve round him, Jesus said to them: “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the Prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
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 For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat upon;
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 scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
filo Au, basa ma tao risa Au. Te fai katelun, ma Au usodꞌa baliꞌ.”
34 The Apostles did not comprehend any of this; his meaning was unintelligible to them, and they did not understand what he was saying.
Rena Yesus olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana dedꞌenu nara bingun, huu ara nda feꞌe rahine dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa sosoan sa.
35 As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road-side, begging.
Leleꞌ Yesus se rae losa kota Yeriko, hambu atahori pokeꞌ sa endoꞌ hule-huleꞌ sia dalaꞌ suun.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
Leleꞌ ana rena atahori hetar tungga naa ma, ana natane nae, “We! Saa sia ia?”
37 and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
Boe ma atahori rafadꞌe rae, “Yesus, mia Nasaret, laoꞌ tungga ia.”
38 he shouted out: “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
Atahori pokeꞌ naa rena nala ma, ana nggasi nahereꞌ nae, “Yesus! Mane Daud tititi-nonosin, e! Sue au dꞌei!”
39 Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder: “Son of David, take pity on 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 Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, 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 want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
Ho nau Au tao saa fee nggo?” Ana nataa nae, “Amaꞌ! Au oꞌe fo fee au bisa mete ita.”
42 And Jesus said: “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
Yesus nataa e nae, “Maloleꞌ boe. Huu mumuhere mae, Au bisa tao uhaiꞌ nggo, de ia naa ho bisa mita ena.”
43 Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to 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.
