Luke 18
1 Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung inbasing aduda, matam pumnamakta haijagadabani aduga keidounungda pukning hantharoidabani haiba tambinaba pandam ama hairak-i,
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 “Karigumba Sahar amada Tengban Mapu kidaba migidamak karisu khandaba wayel mapu ama leirammi.
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 Aduga sahar adumaktada lukhrabi amasu leirammi. Mahakna wayen mapu aduda tattana laktuna, ‘Eihakki yeknabagi mathakta achumba wayel toubiyu’ haina haijarammi.
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
4 Matam kuina wayen mapu aduna yaramde adubu mameidadi mahak masa mathanta haijarammi, ‘Eina Tengban Mapubu kidrabasu aduga migidamak karisu khandrabasu,
For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 lukhrabi asina eingonda awaba piduna leibagi maramna mahakkidamak ei achumba wayel tourage. Eina masi toudragadi mahakna asum laktuna eibu yetlaragani.’”
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
6 Adudagi Ibungona makha tana hairak-i, “Wayel chumdaba mapu aduna haiba adu tao.
Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 Adunadi Tengban Mapuda ahing nungthil animakta mateng panbinaba haijariba Ibungo masamakki khandokkhraba mising adugidamak mahakna achumba wayel toubiroidra? Mahakna makhoibu mateng pangbada thinthaduna leigadra?
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 Eina nakhoida hairibasini, mahakna makhoigidmak achumba wayel thunamak toubigani. Adubu Migi Machanupa aduna lakpa matamda malem asida mangonda thajaba mi mahakna phanggadra?”
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
9 Adudagi Jisuna masa mathantabu achumba chatpani haina thajajaba aduga mi ateibuna hanthana khanba makhoising aduda pandam asimasu hairak-i,
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 “Nupa anikhak Mapugi Sanglenda haijanabagidamak kakhatlammi. Nupa amana phariseeni aduga amna kanggat khombani.
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Adudagi pharisee aduna lepkhattuna masagi maramda asumna haijakhi, ‘Tengban Mapu, eina nangbu thagatchari, eidi atoppa misinggumna namja-namtheknaba, pukchel sengdaba, amasung nupi lannaba mi natte aduga mapham asida leiriba kanggat khomba mi asigumbasu natte.
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 Eina chayol amada anirak chara helli aduga eigi leijaba pumnamakki saruk taragi ama nangonda pi.’
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
13 Adubu kanggat khomba adunadi lapna leplaga mamai phaoba swargaromda yengkhatchaba ngamjadana leirammi aduga mahakna mathabak yeijaraduna hairak-i, ‘Tengban Mapu, papchenba eibu chanbiyu.’
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 ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 Eina nakhoida hairibasini, madudi pharisee adu nattaduna kanggat khomba adubu Tengban Mapuna achumba chatpa oina singthanabiduna mayumda hankhirammi. Maramdi masa mathantabu chaohanjaba mi adubu nollukhangani aduga masa mathanta nollukchaba mi adubu chaohanbigani.”
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Nongma mioi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuna khut thambiduna yaipha-thoujal pihannabagidamak Jisugi nakta puraklammi. Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna madu ubada makhoida cheirammi.
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.
16 Adubu Jisuna makhoibu kousinduna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingna eigi inakna lakchasanu, makhoibu khamganu, maramdi Tengban Mapugi leibak adu makhoi asigumbasinggini.
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.
17 Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, apikpa angang amagumna Tengban Mapugi leibak adubu lousindaba kanagumba amatana Tengban Mapugi leibakta khak changloi.”
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 Nongma Jihudigi luchingba amana Jisuda asumna hanglammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba punsi phangjanaba eina kari toujagadage?” (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Karigi nangna eingonda aphaba haina kouribano? Tengban Mapu nattana aphaba kana amata leite.
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20 Nahakna Tengban Mapugi wayel yathangsing asi khang-i: ‘Mitu-miwa lannaganu, mi hatkanu, huran-ganu, aranba sakhi piganu, amasung nama napabu ikai khumnou.’”
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Nupa aduna khumlak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba wayel yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i.”
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22 Jisuna mahakki paokhum adu tarabada nupa aduda hairak-i, “Houjik nahakna tougadaba ama watli. Nahakki leijaba pumba yonthoklaga sel adu lairabasingda pithok-u, adu oirabadi swargada nahakki lan leigani; aduga lak-u, eigi itung illu.”
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 will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
23 Adubu nupa aduna madu tabada pukning yamna warammi, maramdi mahak inak yamna khunlammi.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Maduda nupa aduna pukning yamna waba adu Jisuna uraduna hairakki, “Inakkhunba misingna Tengban Mapugi leibakta changba kayada lukhrabano!
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
26 Maduda wa adu taba mising aduna hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27 Jisuna khumlak-i, “Mioibagi maphamda oithoktaba adu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi oithokpa ngaktani.”
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
28 Maduda Peter-na hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina eikhoigi leijaba pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injari.”
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
29 Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, Tengban Mapu leibakkidamak mayum-makei, nattraga mama-mapa, nattraga machin-manao, nattraga nupi- angang thadoklaga
“I tell you,” he answered, “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,
31 Adudagi Jisuna tung-inba taranithoi adubu tonganna puthokladuna makhoida hairak-i, “Yengu, eikhoina Jerusalem-da chatli, aduga Migi Machanupa adugi maramda Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousingna irambasing adu thunglagani.
Gathering the Twelve around 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.
32 Mahakpu Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi makhutta pithokkani. Makhoina mahakpu noknagani, ikaiba pigani amasung tin sitchingani.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 Makhoina mahakpu phugani amasung mahakpu hatkani, aduga humnisuba numitta mahakna amuk hinggatkani.”
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Adubu tung-inbasing aduna hairibasing adu amata khangba ngamlamde. Waheising adugi nunggi oiba wahandok adu makhoida lotlammi amasung Ibungona hairiba adugi maramda makhoina khangba ngamkhide.
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Aduga Jisuna Jericho naksillaklabada mimit tangba nupa ama chakniduna lambi mapanda phamduna leirammi.
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 Mahakna miyam amana lambi aduda chatpagi khonjel adu tabada, mahakna kari thoklabage haiduna hanglammi.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nazareth-ki Jisu chatli.”
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Maduda mahakna laoraduna hairak-i, “David-ki Machanupa, Jisu! Eibu chanbiyu!”
he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
39 Maduda mang thaduna chatlibasing aduna cheiraduna mahakpu tumin leinanaba hairammi. Adubu mahakna hennadum houna laorak-i, “David-ki Machanupa! Eibu chanbiyu!”
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!”
40 Maduda Jisuna chatlambadagi lepladuna mahakpu puraknaba yathang pirammi. Aduga mahakna manakta laklabada, Jisuna mangonda hanglak-i,
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
41 “Eina nanggidamak kari toubiba nahakna pambage?” Mahakna khumlak-i, “Oja Ibungo, eihakna mit ujaba pamjei.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
42 Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahak uba phangjaro, nahakki thajabana nahakpu phahanbire.”
And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
43 Khudak adumaktada nuba adu uba phangjare, aduga Tengban Mapubu thagatchaduna Jisugi tung injare. Aduga madu ubada miyam adunasu Tengban Mapubu thagatcharammi.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
