Luke 18
1 Ek din Jisu pora chela khan ke dristanto pora hikaise kineka taikhan prathana kori thakibo lage aru kitia bhi mon chutu nokorile lage.
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 Aru koise, “Ekta sheher te ekjon niyom chola manu thakise aru tai Isor ke bhoi nakore aru manu khan ke bhi hisab nakore.
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 Aru etu sheher te ekta bidhowa mahila thakise, aru tai, etu manu usorte hodai ahi thake, aru koi, ‘Moi laga dushman khan logot pora moike niyai dibi.’
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
4 Bisi din pora tai etu mahila laga kaam kori dibo mon thaka nai, kintu etu mahila bisi kowa nimite tai nijorke koise, ‘Moi Isor ke bhoi nakore aru manu ke hisab nakore,
For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 kintu etu mahila moike hodai digdar diya nimite, moi tai nimite niyai kori dibo, eneka kori dile tai aru hodai ahi kene moike digdar nokorile.’”
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
6 Titia Probhu pora aru koise, “Huni bhi etu thik nathaka ukil pora ki koise.
Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 Etiya Isor junke bachai loise taike sajai nadibo naki? Jun tai usorte din aru rati kandi thake? Taikhan laga kotha hunibo nimite deri rukhi thakibo naki?
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 Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, tai joldi pora niyai to ani dibo. Jitia Manu laga Putro ahibo, Tai etu duniya te biswas pabo na napabo?”
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
9 Aru Tai etu dristanto bhi koise jun taikhan nijorke dharmik manu ase koi thake aru dusra ke ghin kori thake,
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 “Duijon manu prathana kori bole nimite jaise- ekjon Pharisee, aru ekjon poisa utha manu.
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Aru Pharisee to tai alag phale khara kori kene tai nijor logote eneka prathana kori thakise, ‘Isor, moi Apnike dhanyavad di ase moi dusra manu khan nisena nohoi- chor, biya manu, paap kaam kori kene thaka manu aru poisa utha manu khan nisena bhi nohoi.
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 Moi hapta te duibar upwas loi. Moi ki pai etu laga dos bhag bhi diye.’
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
13 Kintu poisa utha manu, durte khara kori kene, tai nijor matha bhi sorgo phale sa nai, kintu tai laga chati to marikena prathana korise, ‘Isor, moi uporte daya koribi, moi paapi manu.’
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 Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, etu Pharisee, jun poisa utha manu thakise, tai Isor usorte mohima paikena nijor ghor te jaise. Kelemane jun manu tai nijorke untcha uthabole bisare tai chutu hoi jabo, kintu jun manu nijorke chutu kore taike uthai dibo.”
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 Ek din kunba manu khan Jisu usorte bacha khan ke loi kene anise, Jisu laga hath taikhan uporte dikene asirbad dibole nimite. Kintu jitia chela khan pora etu dikhise, taikhan ke ahibo diya nai.
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 Kintu Jisu taikhan ke matise aru koise, “Chutu bacha khan ke Moi usorte ahibo dibi, aru taikhan ke narukhabi. Kelemane Isor laga rajyo to taikhan nisena nimite ase.
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 Moi hosa pora tumikhan ke koi ase, jun pora ekta bacha nisena hoi kene Isor rajyo ke swekar nakore, tai ji hoilebi ta te gusibo na paribo.”
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 Aru ekjon Yehudi cholawta manu Taike hudise, “Bhal hikhok, moi anonto jibon pabo nimite ki koribo lage?” (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 Titia Jisu taike jowab dise, “Moike kele bhal koi ase? Kun bhi bhal nai, khali Isor he bhal ase.
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20 Isor laga niyom tumikhan jane bebichar nokorile, manu ke nomorabi, chor nokoribi, manu laga misa kotha nokobi, baba, ama ke morom koribi.”
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 Kintu cholawta manu he koise, “Moi jawan pora etu sob manikena ahise.”
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22 Jitia Jisu tai kowa kotha hunise, Tai koise, “Ekta kotha etiya bhi tumi mana nai: Tumi laga ki ase etu sob bikiri kori dibi aru gorib khan ke bhag kori dibi, titia tumi laga dhun sompoti sorgote thakibo- aru Moi laga pichete ahibi.”
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 Jitia cholawta manu Jisu laga kotha hunise, tai bisi mon dukh paise kele koile tai bisi dhuni manu thakise.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Titia Jisu taike saikene koise, “Dhuni manu sorgote jabole kiman digdar ase!
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Biji laga chenda pora ekta uth jabole asan ase, hoilebi dhuni manu Isor laga rajyote jabole nimite asani nohoi.
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 Jun etu kotha hunise taikhan koise, “Tinehoile kun he poritran pabo?”
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27 Kintu Jisu koise, “Juntu kaam manu napare, Isor he pare.”
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
28 Titia Peter he koise, “Sabi amikhan sob chari kene Apuni laga piche ahise.”
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
29 Titia Jisu taikhan ke koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke koi ase jun manu tai laga ghor, maiki, bhai, ama, baba, bacha ke Isor laga rajyo nimite charise,
“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 Titia Tai baroh jonke alag kori kene koise, “Sabi, amikhan Jerusalem te jabo, aru bhabobadi khan pora Manu laga Putro nimite Isor kotha ki likhise, etu sob purah hobole ase.
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 Karone Taike Porjati khan hathte di dibo, aru Taike bodnam koribo, aru bisi sorom khila bo, aru Tai uporte thuk phelabo.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 Aru Taike chabuk pora maribo, aru morai dibo, aru tisra dinte, Tai aru bhi jee uthijabo.”
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Kintu chela khan etu kotha bujhi panai, aru etu kotha taikhan pora lukai rakhise, aru ki kotha koise etu bujhi bo para nai.
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Etiya eneka hoise, jitia Jisu Jericho sheher te ahise, ekjon andha manu rasta kinar te bohi kene bhik mangi thakise.
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 Tai manu khan hala kori kene jai thaka to hunise, tai hudise etu ki hoi ase.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Taikhan andha manu ke koise, “Nazareth laga Jisu etu rasta pora jai ase.”
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Titia tai kandikena jor pora koise, “Jisu, David laga Putro, moi uporte morom koribi.”
he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
39 Jun manu Jisu age te jai thakise khong pora taike chup thaki bole koise. Kintu tai bisi hala kori thakise, “David laga Putro, moi uporte morom koribi.”
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 Titia Jisu khara kori kene etu manu ke usorte anibole koise. Aru jitia tai usorte ahise, Jisu taike hudise,
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 “Moi tumi nimite ki kori bole tumi itcha ase?” Tai koise, “Probhu, moi suku pora sabole itcha ase.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
42 Titia Jisu he taike koise, “Tumi laga suku khuli bhi. Tumi laga biswas pora tumi bhal hoise.”
And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
43 Etu homoi te tai sabo parise aru Jisu pichete jaise, Isor ke mohima dikene, sob manu khan jitia etu dikhise, taikhan Isor ke stuti dise.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
