Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
Eka Yesu nogoyo ngero ne jopuonjrene mondo onyisgi gibed ka gilamo kinde duto kendo kik chunygi aa.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
Nowachonegi niya, “E dala moro ne nitie jangʼad bura mane ok oluoro Nyasaye kata ok odewo ji.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
To ne nitie dhako ma chwore otho moro e dalano manobedo kadhiyo ire pile giywakne kakwaye ni, ‘Yie ingʼadna bura e kinda gi ngʼat ma hinyani!’
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
“Kuom kinde moko moromo nodagi, to bangʼe mogik nowacho kende owuon ni, ‘Kata obedo ni ok aluoro Nyasaye kendo ok adewo ji kamano
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
to nikech dhako ma chwore othoni osiko chanda, abiro neno ni angʼadone bura kare, mondo kik oola gibiro ma obirogo ira pile!’”
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
To Ruoth nowacho niya, “Winjeuru gima ne jangʼad bura ma ok kareno owacho!
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
To donge Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura kare ni joge moyier, maywakne odiechiengʼ gi otieno? Bende obiro tamore ma ok owinjogi?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Awachonu ni obiro neno ni ongʼadnegi bura kare kendo mapiyo. Kata kamano, ka Wuod Dhano obiro, bende obiro yudo yie e piny?”
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
Ne joma noketo genogi kuomgi giwegi maparo ni gin joma kare kendo mane ochayo ji mamoko duto, Yesu nogoyonegi ngero kama:
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
“Ji ariyo nodhi lemo ei hekalu, achiel ne en ja-Farisai to machielo ne jasol osuru.
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
Ja-Farisai moro nochungo malo mi olamo ka opwoyore ni, ‘Nyasaye, agoyoni erokamano ni ok an kaka ji mamoko, ma jomecho, joma timo timbe maricho, jochode, kata mana kaka jasol osuruni.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
Atweyo chiemo nyadiriyo e juma ka juma, kendo achiwo achiel kuom apar mar gigo duto manwangʼo.’
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
“To jasol osuru nochungo mabor. Ne ok onyal kata mana ngʼiyo polo malo, to nogoyo kore kendo nowacho ni, ‘Nyasaye, kecha, an jaricho.’
14 "I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
“Awachonu ni ngʼatni, ma ok ngʼat machielono, nodhi dala ka en kare e nyim Nyasaye. Nimar ngʼato angʼato matingʼore malo kende nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
Ji ne kelo nyithindo matindo ir Yesu, mondo ogwedhgi. Kane jopuonjre noneno mano negikwerogi.
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
To Yesu noluongo nyithindo ire kendo nowacho niya, “Weuru nyithindo matindo obi ira, kendo kik utamgi, nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye en mar ji machal ka magi.
17 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
Awachonu adier ni, ngʼato ma ok orwako pinyruoth Nyasaye kaka nyathi matin ok nodonji ngangʼ.”
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
Jatelo moro nopenje niya, “Japuonj maber, en angʼo monego atim mondo ayud ngima mochwere kaka girkeni mara?” (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
Yesu nodwoke kapenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo iluonga ni ngʼama ber? Onge ngʼama ber, makmana Nyasaye kende.
20 You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
Ingʼeyo chike mawacho ni: ‘Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik ihang wach, luor wuonu gi minu.’”
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
Nodwoke niya, “Magi duto aserito nyaka aa rawera.”
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
Kane Yesu owinjo wachno, nowachone niya, “Pod iremo gimoro achiel. Lok mwanduni duto ma in-go pesa, mondo ipog joma odhier, eka inibed gi mwandu mokan e polo. Bangʼ timo kamano to bi mondo iluwa.”
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Ka nowinjo ma, nobedo mokuyo ahinya, nikech ne en ngʼat man-gi mwandu mathoth ahinya.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
Yesu nongʼiye kendo nowachone niya, “Mano kaka en gima tek mondo jomoko odonji e pinyruoth Nyasaye.
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
Chutho, yot mondo ngamia okadhi e wangʼ sandan, moloyo jamoko donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye!”
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Jogo manowinjo mani nopenjo niya, “Kare en ngʼa manyalo kwo?”
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Gino ma ok nyalre gi dhano, nyalore kuom Nyasaye.”
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
Petro nowachone niya, “Wan waseweyo gik moko duto mane wan-go mondo waluwi!”
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni, onge ngʼato moseweyo dalane kata jaode kata owetene, kata jonywolne, kata nyithinde nikech pinyruoth Nyasaye
31 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Yesu nokawo jopuonjre apar gariyo otero tenge kendo nowachonegi niya, “Eri wadhi nyaka Jerusalem, to gigo duto mane ondiki gi jonabi kuom Wuod Dhano ibiro timogi.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Ibiro chiwe ne joma ok jo-Yahudi. Gibiro jare, giniyanye, mi gingʼudh olawo kuome.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
Bende ginichwade ma gininege, to chiengʼ mar adek enochier kendo.”
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Jopuonjre ne ok owinjo tiend wechegi kata matin. Tiend wechegi nopandnegi, kendo ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owuoyo kuome.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
Kane Yesu chiegni chopo Jeriko, ngʼat moro ma muofu noyudo obet e bath yo kakwecho.
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
Kane owinjo ka oganda kadho, nopenjo ni en angʼo matimore.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Negidwoke niya, “Yesu ja-Nazareth ema kadho.”
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Noluongo matek niya, “Yesu, Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
To jogo ma notelo e yo nokwere kendo nowachone ni olingʼ thi, to nomedo goyo koko niya, “Wuod Daudi, yie ikecha!”
40 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
Yesu nochungo kendo nochiko mondo okel ngʼatno ire. Kane obiro machiegni, Yesu nopenje niya,
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
“Angʼo midwaro mondo atimni?” Nodwoko niya, “Ruoth, adwaro mondo anen.”
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
Yesu nowachone niya, “Nen! Yieni ema ochangi.”
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Gikanyono nochako neno kendo noluwo bangʼ Yesu, kopako Nyasaye. Ka ji duto noneno mano, negipako Nyasaye.
