Luke 18
1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
Tua zawkciang Jesu in a nungzui te tung ah thinkiam ngawl a, a thunget tawntung natu a hilna in thusontena te son hi;
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
Khuapi khat sung ah Pathian a lau ngawl, kuama zong a khual ngawl, thukhenpa khat om hi:
3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
Tua khuapi sung ah meingong khat om hi; thukhen pa kung ah pai a, ka ngal pa phu hong lamsak tan, ci hi.
4 For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or respect man,
Thukhenpa in hun saupi sung thukhensak ngawl in om hi: ahihang a khakbel ciang ama in, keima sia Pathian kita ngawl in mihing zong kuama khual tuan ngawl ka hi hang;
5 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant coming.'”
Hi meingong nu in hong nawngkaisak ahikom, phu lamsak tu khi hi, tabang hibale hongpai tawntung tu a, hong nawngkaisak tawntung tu hi, ci ngaisun hi.
6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
Topa in, A man ngawl thukhenpa son na ngai vun.
7 Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
Ama sia haisang napi, Pathian in a tealsa te, sun le zan in Ama kung ah a au te phu lamsak ngawl in om tu ziam?
8 I say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. Even so, when the Son of Man comes, will he indeed find faith on the earth?”
Keima in kong ci hi, a manlangtak in phulamsak tu hi. Ahihang mihing Tapa hongpai ciang in, hi leitung ah upna a mu tu ziam? ci hi.
9 Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
Jesus in, mipha khi hi, ci amate le amate ki muang mama a, ngualdang a thusimngawl te kung ah hi sontena son hi:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
Mihing ni thungen tu in biakinn ah pai uh hi; khat sia Pharisee hi a, a dang khat sia siadong a hihi.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, unrighteous people, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Pharisee pa hong ding to a, Pathian awng, keima sia phalak te, thuman ngawl te, palngul mawna vawt te, a hibale siadong pa bang ka hi ngawl man in ka lungdam hi.
12 I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
Nipi khat sung ni vei antang khi hi, ka neisa theampo sung pan se sawm sua se khat pia khi hi, ci in thungen hi.
13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
Taciang siadongpa sia, a khuala na ah ding a, van lam zong en ngam ngawl in, a awm tum in, maw Pathian awng kei mawneipa tung ah hesuakna hong nei po tan, ci hi.
14 I say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Keima in kong ci hi, hisia pa sia a dang khat sia sang in thutang suana nga zaw a, a inn ah cia hi: banghangziam cile ama le ama a ki lamsang peuma khiaksuk na thuak tu a, ama le ama a ki niamkhiak peuma ki lamsang tu hi.
15 The people were also bringing to him their infants so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Amate in patang te a thamsak tu a dei uh hu in, Jesus kung ah paipui uh hi: tua thu a nungzui te in a mu uh ciang in amate tei uh hi.
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
Ahihang Jesus in, patang te ama kung ah sam a, Patangte ka kung ah hongpai tahen, khak heak vun: banghangziam cile Pathian kumpingam sia hibang te atu a hihi.
17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it.”
A man tatak kong ci ciang, a kuamapo in Pathian kumpingam sia patangno te bang in a sang thei ngawl peuma tua kumpingam sung ah tum thei ngawl tu uh hi, ci hi.
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Lampui khat in Jesus kung ah, Sya pha awng, tawntung nuntakna ka nga thei natu in bang vawt tu khi ziam? ci in dong hi. (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
Jesus in, Banghang in pha hong ci ni ziam? Pathian khatbek simngawl mipha dang kuama om ngawl hi.
20 You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother.”
Thupiakte na he hi, palngul mawna vawt heak in, tualthat heak in, nguta heak in, a man ngawl tetti son heak in, na pa le na nu zakta in, ci hi.
21 The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
Tua tangval pa in, hite theampo sia ka nolai pan ma in ka zui sa hi zo hi, ci hi.
22 When Jesus heard that, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
Hi thu te Jesus in a zak ciang in, a kung ah, Na khat na kisam lai hi: na neisa theampo zuak in a, mizawng te hawmsak in, tua hile vantung ngam ah nei le lam na nei tu hi: taciang hongpai tan a, hong zui tan, ci hi.
23 But when the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
Hi thu a zak ciang in khuangai mama hi: banghangziam cile ama sia mihau mama a hihi.
24 Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, “How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Jesus in a khuangai mama a mu ciang in, Mihau te Pathian kumpingam sung a tum tu bangza in haksa ziam!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Banghangziam cile mihau khat Pathian kumpingam sung a tum tu sang in, kala-uk khat phin bilvang sung a tum tu ol zaw hi, ci hi.
26 Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Tua thu a zate in, kua peuma ngupna nga thei tu ziam? ci uh hi.
27 Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
Jesus in, Mihing te taw a piang thei ngawl te sia, Pathian taw piang thei siat hi, ci hi.
28 Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
Tua zawkciang in Peter in, en in, ka neisa uh theampo nusia in hong zui khu hi, ci hi.
29 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Taciang Jesus in amate tung ah, A man tatak kong ci ciang, Pathian kumpingam atu in, a inn, a nu le a pa, a suapui, a zi, a hibale a tate a nusia peuma,
31 After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
Jesus in a nungzui sawmleni te ama kung ah sam a, amate tung ah, En vun, Jerusalem ah i pai hi, kamsang te in mihing Tapa thu a atkholsa thu theampo tangtung tu hi.
32 For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.
Gentile te khutsung ah ap tu a, selno na zong thuak tu hi, vawtsiatna zong thuak tu a, cil zong phi tu uh hi:
33 After whipping him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
Amate in vel tu a, that tu uh hi: taciang ni thum ni ciang tho kik tu hi, ci hi.
34 They understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Amate in hi thu khat zong a tel bua uh hi: hi a son te sia amate kung pan ki phualseal hi, tua ahikom Jesus i son thu te khat zong a tel bua uh hi.
35 It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
Jesus Jericho nai na hong thet ciang in, mittaw khat lamhui ah khutdaw ngen in to hi:
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
Mihonpi in a kantan tuh a zak ciang in, bang thu ziam, ci in dong hi.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Amate in, Nazareth mi Jesus in hong kantan hi, ci uh hi.
38 So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
Taciang ama in, Jesus, nang David Tapa awng, hong hesuak ka po in, ci au hi.
39 The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
A mai a pai te in a om khipkhep natu in tei hi: ahihang, nang David Tapa awng, hong hesuak ka po in, ci a nasia seseam in au hi.
40 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
Taciang Jesus ding a, a kung ah paipui tu in thupia hi: a nai ah hongpai ciang in,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
Bang vawtsak tu dei ni ziam? ci in dong hi. Ama in, topa awng, khua ka mu nuam hi, ci hi.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Taciang Jesus in a kung ah, Khua mu in: na upna in hong ngum zo hi, ci hi.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
Thakhat thu in khuamu a, Jesus zui in Pathian min pok hi: taciang a mu te theampo in Pathian minthang pok uh hi.
