AQK
Asi Yesu anik amun kopma ankpyeng anung, awami ati tsar ba mi bati min aben kowuni nkpang, kɨr aba dɨk baˈ.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
AQK
Nadi, “Ni te amoˈ ntun nung awami ba ti shishi Arik baˈ, ba to andishir basi kinung baˈ.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
AQK
Ntunna asi uwa nung awami ruma naka kuu na dibi koma na wu, ta ben wu tadi, ‘Wa bi tsar ngga zup, ming ku amoˈ ayami ya si itu mung ni dzen zor mung.’
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
AQK
“Vung ri nkpang nga. Na kak, tong tera na di susun ma, ‘Ko mi ba ngga ti shishi Arik baˈ, ba ngga to andishir basi kinung baˈ,’
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
AQK
nema ati uwama ba dung ngga baˈ, ngga ti dzip wu kiyami ya sima, ti nam wu zup amoˈ ama, ti tsin nyima kɨr bi dung ngga dik baˈ.”
BSB
BSB:
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6
AQK
Asi Atikop adi, “Gina wo kiyami ni te amoˈ ni sang nga zup didik na ban.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
AQK
Nta sima Arik bati wang andishir abami na sar ba, abi ben buu ne arik, Ati gong baku nam ba zup yi?
BSB
BSB:
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8
AQK
Ngga ban gina, ati nam gina zup didik andanda. Nema Zu ndishir ata ngaˈ, ati yik andishir abi si ni zup didik gong mmimi kama yi?”
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9
AQK
Yesu na ya ban nkpyeng yama atu ya andishir abami ba saˈ ayi aba si adidik iti ku Arik, aba to mbir andishir boboˈ ba si kinung baˈ.
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
AQK
“Andishir awaa anung abami bana rir kop Arik ti ba ben. Gin ming mana asi awu ni Farisi, gina asi ni ta ankor mmimi.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
AQK
Asi awu ni Farisi ma agur tir adidik siwa avung ben tadi, ‘Arik, Ngga ni nyer wa, ti ba ngga si mi nbira andishir abi sang nga gi Arik, abi gip, abi mmuer abum, abi zip amba. Ba ngga si mi ni ta ankor mmimi ma baˈ.
BSB
BSB:
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12
AQK
Ngga rop anu adza awaa nvɨ, ngga nik gin tu ku wur ming ku kiyami ngga ni yik.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
AQK
“Nema ni ta ankor mmimi natir gbangbang bati ma gi ayi ato shu baˈ. Na saˈ ayok asang ama ti ba tsar shishir nne ma, adi wa, ‘Arik, wa bi ro susun mung, ti ngga sini zup mbombom.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14
AQK
Yesu na di, “Ngga ban gina si ananan, ni ta ankor mmimi na koma kopma ta yik song kusi tsetser iti Arik, basi mi awu ni Farisi baˈ. Nema awami ta tsoˈ tuma awa asi ki, ati gir wu ajima. Nema awami ta jituma agyoˈ, ati towu ashu yi.”
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15
AQK
Nkpang nga andishir anung ba dibi gir amumun aman ti Yesu aba nik ba anu didik. Mi amun kop ma na yik ama asi atsing andishir.
BSB
BSB:
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16
AQK
Nema Yesu na gyo amumun atsitsap aba nyi na wu tadi, “Gina bi dung amumun atsitsap aba nyi ni ngga, kɨr war gin neba baˈ. Song Arik kasi ku andishir abami basi mi man.
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus called the children to Him and said,
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17
AQK
Ngga ban gina zup, awami ta nag ata Song Arik mi vɨvɨn tsap baˈ, bati gi rir ming nga baˈ.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
AQK
Ningur Yahudawa nung na rip Yesu tadi, “Ni tsar didik, ngga nam are ti yik vɨr ku song ni song?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
AQK
“Asi Yesu adi wu, ani dung wa gyo ngga ti ndishir didik?” “Ba wami asi didik anaˈ asi Arik ankyaˈ.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
AQK
Wani gi kiyami bang ni di, ‘Kɨr zip amba baˈ. Kɨr nwun nung baˈ. Kɨr gip baˈ. Kɨr ta reng ni nmu baˈ. Wabi zip kiyami ada mi nebi iyami aban wa.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21
AQK
“Boboˈ kikiyama ngga ni min dung nga tsoˈ ri ngga si vɨn nanzak mi aring.”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
AQK
Mi Yesu na woma, siwa adi wu, “Na dik wa ki gin. Rep kikiyami wa sima na ya boboˈ, ti nik abi sang nga ki ankor ra, nema wati nne tumi aporo gbarshu. Ti nyi kati zip ngga.”
BSB
BSB:
On hearing this, Jesus told him,
“You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23
AQK
Mi na wo ma, asi susun ka rang wu awowon, ti awa asi ni ki koˈ nidum.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
AQK
Yesu na yik susun ni rang wu, asi awa di, “Ya ti roma ni ankor aba rir song Arik.
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
AQK
Tasima biyi ti roma aba di lakurmi aba rir bwe ki kwan nebi awami asi ni kikoˈ aba rir song Arik.”
BSB
BSB:
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26
AQK
Abami na wo ma siba rip, “Nta sima nga wa ti yik ta gyoˈ?”
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
AQK
Yesu na tayima, “Kiyami ndishir bati gi nam baˈ, ni dung nang Arik.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
AQK
Asi Bitrus adi, “Kwara ni dung kiyami kwara sima neya ti zip wa.”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29
AQK
“Yesu na diba, Ngga ban gina,” Yesu adi zup, “Ba awami ati dung kop, ni uwa ne amun zuman anirum ne amba, nebi adida atu yi song Arik,
BSB
BSB:
“Truly I tell you,”
Jesus replied,
“no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30
AQK
ti aba di na sang nga yik kiki adza a nidum, mkpang kama. Mkpang ku nyi ti aba yik vɨr ku song ni song.”
BSB
BSB:
will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31
AQK
Yesu na gyo amun kopma awur ne awaa abama tong ta diba, “Kwara ti wong koma Rushelima abuma, bobo kikiyami abi reng ne antinte Arik na tse atu yi Zu Ndishir yati shuma.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them,
“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32
AQK
Ati nap wu anik abi sang nga gi Arik. Bati pwar wu, ta mwan wu, ta aya ruk antite shur wu.
BSB
BSB:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33
AQK
Bati tsik wu, ta aya nwun wu. Arik ni tar aba ya gur.”
BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
AQK
Amun kopma baba na agi kiyami reng kama mi Yesu aban ba baˈ. Na sung ating ayi reng kama arer ba, Nema baba gi kiyami areng atu ma.
BSB
BSB:
But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35
AQK
Mi Yesu na atip ngaˈ ntun Yeriko, sine fik nung awa ako song bi ben tong tsir.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36

Mi na wo bing ya andishir gari, siwa rip asi ani nam.

When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Abami basi itima atsing wu tadi wu aba ti ryot. Nema asiwa nanam agi kor kpangkpang tadi, “Zu Dawuda, wa bi ro susun mung.”
BSB
BSB:
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Asi Yesu gbutir, siwa anik anu ta di aba gir ndishira anyima newa. Mi ndishira na atip anyi, si Yesu arip wu,

41

“Ngga bi nam wa ani?” Asiwa adi wu “Atikop, ngga bi yik abum.”
BSB
BSB:
