Luke 18
1 Hanchu, sabei mindong loia chubai an tho tit rang ani iti rilna rangin hi chongmintêk hih Jisua'n a misîra.
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
2 “Khopui inkhata hin roijêkpu, Pathien khom chiloi, mi lien khom chiloi inkhat a oma.
saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
3 Ha khou nanâka han meithâi inkhat a oma, ân dôipui chunga phuba lâk ranga ngênin a se bang ngâia.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
4 Zora sôtzan chu roijêkpu han nuom pe maka, ania nûka a mulungin, ‘Pathien le mi lien chi no khom inlang,
He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
5 hi meithâi hin chakal ni tho banga, hi anga hin a hong banga anîn chu nûka chu ni la minjêl chit a tih. Masikin a phuba lei luokpui rong,’ a tia.”
yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
6 Pumapa'n, a chongril ala zoma, “Rangâi ta u, imo ha roijêkpu saloi han ai ti.
The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Masikin, Pathien'n a mingei sanna ngêna, sûntin, jântina chapngei chungroi mindon noni mo? San minnu ni mo?
Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 Nangni ki ril, an nuomnan inrang takin mindon pe a tih. Ania, Miriem Nâipasal a juong tikin rammuola taksônna mu ni mo?” a tia.
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
9 Ama le ama ka sa intia, midang esêl ngâi ngei kôma hi chongmintêk hih a misîra.
He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
10 Voikhat chu mi inikin Biekina chubai tho rangin an sea. Inkhat chu Pharisee ania inkhat chu sumrusuongpu ani.
"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Pharisee chu athenin ândinga chubai a thoa, “Pathien, kei chu midang ngei angin mi ranghuol ngâi, dikloi, inrê mi khom kini loi sikin, râisânchong ki ril. So, sumrusuongpu anga khom ki niloi sikin râisânchong ki ril.
The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Hapta tin sûnnik bu ke ngêi ngâia, ke nei murdi a sômakhat nang ke pêk ngâi,” a tia.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
13 Ania, sumrusuongpu chu lâtaka indingin, invân tieng luo tang ngam loiin, a rôp ruchumin, “Pathien, mi nunsie ki ni, inrieng ni mu roh,” a tia.
But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
14 Jisua'n nangni ki ril, “Pharisee mi ni loiin, sumrusuongpu chu Pathien mita theiintumin, a in tieng a se zoi. Tutu omlien kaichu intem an ta, intem kaichu minlutin om an tih,” a tia.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
15 Mi senkhatin, an nâitengei Jisua kôma, an chunga kut minngam rangin an tuonga. Hanchu, ha anga tho rang hah ruoisingeiin an lei mûn chu an lei ngoa.
Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Hannisenla, Jisua'n nâipangte ngei a kôma a koia, an kôma, “Nâipangtengei ko kôma hong rese ngei, khap no roi, Pathien Rêngram chu hi anga nâipangte ngei ta kêng.
Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Diktakin ki ti, tutu nâipangte'n Pathien Rêngram ai modôm anga modôm loiin chu asûnga lût tet no nih,” a tia.
Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
18 Juda ruoipu'n Jisua a rekela, “Minchupu sa, kumtuong ringna ka manna rangin imo ko tho rang?” a tia (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Jisua'n a kôma, “Ithomo asa mini ti? Pathien pênna chu tute misa omak.
Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.
20 Chongpêk hah, ni riet duo, Inrê no roh, mi that no roh, inru no roh, dikloiin mi nôn no roh, na nû le na pa mirit roh,” a tia.
You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
21 Ama han, “Ha chongpêkngei murdi hah chu ka nâipangte lâi renga ko jôm kêng ani” a tia.
And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
22 Mahah Jisua'n a riet lehan a kôma, “Neinun inkhat tho rang na la nâng, Ne nei murdi juor inla, asum hah inriengngei sem ngei roh, hanchu, invâna rochon nei ni tih, male chu hong inla ni jûi roh,” a tipea.
When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
23 Mahah ama'n a riet lehan, ânngûi oka, miriem neipa ani sikin.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Hanchu, Jisua'n ânngûi a mûn chu, “Minei ngei Pathien Rêngrama lût rang ântak bah na!
And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God.
25 Ut simphuoi kuora lût rang ântak nêkin mineingei invân rêngrama lût rang intak uol a tih,” a tia.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
26 A chongril riet ngei nâmin, “Hanchu tumo sanminjôk nithei ranga?” tiin an rekela.
Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
27 Jisua'n, “Miriem ranga nitheiloi hih Pathien rangin chu nithei ani,” tiin a thuona.
But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
28 Male Peter'n a kôma, “En roh! kin inngei mâkin nang kin jûi hih,” a tia.
And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
29 Jisua'n an kôma, “O, ani, adiktakin nangni ki ril, tutu Pathien Rêngram sika a in mo, a lômnu mo, a nu le pa mo, a lâibungngei mo, a sarnungei mo, a nâingei mo, mâk kai chu,
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,
31 Hanchu ruoisi sômleinik ngei hah Jisua'n atheiin a tuong ngeia an kôma, “Rangâi ta u, Jerusalema ei se rang ania mahan, Miriem Nâipasal chungroi dêipungei lei miziek hah tung a tih.
He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 Jentailngei kuta pêk an ta, esêl an ta, munuisan an ta, michilkhum an tih.
For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 Jêm an ta, that an tih, ania, sûnthum suole aringin inthoi nôk a tih,” a tia.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
34 Ania, ruoisingei han a chong reng rietthei mak ngeia, a chong ti hah anni rangin chu chong inthup ani sikin Jisua'n imo ai ti riet mak ngei.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Hanchu, Jisua'n Jericho a tung rangin lampui kôla mitcho inkhat ânsunga, kut a doa.
It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Mipui rahang a rietin chu, “Imo hi? tiin a rekela.
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
37 “Nazereth Jisua a hongvun ani,” an tipea.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Ânieka, “Jisua! David Nâipasal, inrieng ni mu roh” a tia.
He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
39 Moton tienga om mipui ngeiin, “Dâirek roh” tiin an ngoa. Ania ama'n ânring uolin, “David Nâipasal! inrieng mi mu roh,” a tia.
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
40 Masikhan Jisua ân ngama, mitcho hah hongtuong rangin chong a pêka. A hongnâia anîn chu Jisua'n a rekela.
Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 “Imo nang ki tho pe ranga ni nuom?” a tia. “O pu, amu nôk ku nuom,” tiin a thuona.
"What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
42 Jisua'n a kôma, “Anîn chu muthei roh, na taksôn nân nang a mindam ani,” a tia.
Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
43 Harenghan a muthei kelen zoia, Pathien minpâk pumin Jisua a jûi zoia. Mipui ngeiin mahah an mûn chu an rêngin Pathien an minpâk zoi.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
