Luke 18
1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
2 saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh.
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih, ' Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak,’ a ti nah.
4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te, ' Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh.
5 yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh?,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
6 And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh.
7 and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?
A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
8 I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
9 And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
10 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
“Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni.
11 the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;
Pharisee tah amah la pai tih, “Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem,
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek, 'tila thangthui.
13 'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!
Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih, ' Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah,’ a ti.
14 I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
15 And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,
Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
16 and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
17 verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;
Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih.
20 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'
Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
21 And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
22 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'
A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai.
25 for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
26 And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
27 and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
28 And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
29 and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih.
31 And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,
Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni.
32 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni,
33 and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
34 And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
35 And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pauh.
38 and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
39 and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
41 saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
“Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
42 And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
Jesuh loh anih te, “Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
43 and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
