Luke 18 (GHN) · Opened

1Ego beto za pojai mule i Jisu tadiria na nana sepele za maka vavakato vavapada ko mi vagigalairia ko marike munyala pa varavara goto mari varavara laodia gu za gua. Ko ari za gudi vei,Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

2<<Pana maka guguzu za kolenana za maka tinoni varituti zake pangagani na Tamaza beto zake dogoro vaporeveveina ria na tinoni.“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

3Ko na suverena tugu pa guguzu aza za maka reko nabonaboko, za lao tepa milimulea na tuvizi tana tinoni varituti ani, ari za gua vei, <Mu mijata vaniziu na tuvizi qa taleni na qua kana,> za gua.And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

4Na zovaina jola za dainana za na tinoni varituti ani. Ba liguligu tu beto za roquroqu makana za na tinoni varituti ani, ari za gua vei, <Zozoto tugu za qake pangagani ara za na Tamaza, beto ko qake dogoro vaporeveveidi tugu ara ria na tinoni,For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,

5ba za kamu vaduvili gojoziu ara za na naboko ani. Ko leana ma roiti vani tu ropi na varituti aza za nyoroguani aza. Ura vei manake roiti vei ara za pala mina manogai milimuleziu tugu, ko mina vapavuziu!> za gua za na tinoni varituti,>> za gua i Jisu.yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”

6Beto ari za gua vei za na Bangara, <<Mu nongoria tu aza vei za pojai na tinoni varituti ikikerena ani ko!And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.

7Ba ae za vei? Gamu roquroqua gamu za minake varituti vadi na Tamaza ria na nana tinoni qari kiu alili laoa aza na rane na bongi? Ae vei, pala minake oqanai tokadi tugu na Tamaza ria?Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?

8Dai! Ma pojadigamu minake oriavo tugu varituti vadi aza ria. Goto ae za vei, tonai mina mule lame na Tuna na Tinoni za pala mina batirianana tu ria kaki tinoni rangerange pa pezo?>> za gua i Jisu.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?”

9Beto za pojadi mule i Jisu ria kaki qari range muledi na dia toa tuvizidi beto qari dogoro vagoreria ria na goto tinoni za na vavakato vavapada ani,To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:

10ari za gua vei, <<Koledia za kori tinoni qari zae varavara pa kakabarena zelepade, maka za na Parese goto maka na tinoni tekuteku takisi.“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

11Na Parese za turu kalekale makana beto ari za varavara lao vei tana makana, <Tamaza, qa paranga leana ara tamu, ura qake vei ria doru goto tinoni ara. Qake ikiko, nake tinoni ikikerequ, beto qake barabarata, beto qake vevei na tinoni tekuteku takisi pa maka kalequ nari ara.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.

12Ara za kori totozo pa maka vuiki qa gilagila tabutabu ganigani, beto qa valao vanigo maka pa manoga pa dorudi na qua zakazava qa tekuria,> za gua aza.I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

13Goto na tinoni tekuteku takisi za turu pa zouna tu ko za pangaga enga zae pa noka, goto za kole popoaria pa nana takulanga za na raqoraqona, beto ari za varavara vei, <Tamaza, mu roquroquziu beto mu taleozoniziu, ura ara za na tinoni sela!> za gua aza.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!’

14Ma pojadigamu ara: na tinoni tekuteku takisi tu ani, nake Parese, za taleozo ko za tuvizi pa dogodogoro tana Tamaza beto za mule laonana pa nana ruma aza. Ura na tinoni za vavalavata muleni makana za mina tavagore, ba na tinoni za vapekai muleni makana za mina tavalavata,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

15Ego qari toka laodi ti Jisu na tudi pekipekidi ria kaki tinoni, ko mi vaopodi na limana aza ko mi manadi qari gua. Tonai qari batiria ria na sepele qari roiti vei zara za qari tokeria ria.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.

16Ba za kuku tekuria i Jisu ria na koburu pekipekidi ko za parangaria, <<Mu vamalumu lameria taqu ria na koburu pekipekidi, muke suquturia. Ura na binangara tana Tamaza za tadiria tugu qari vevei ria na koburu ari.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.

17Ma poja zozotodigamu ara gamu: na tinoni zake toa vei na koburu peki pa tekuna na binangara tana Tamaza, za minake boka zozoto lugea aza za na binangara tana Tamaza,>> za gua i Jisu.Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

18Ego za lame ti Jisu za maka tinoni matamata tadiria na Jiu, ko za nanaza vei ari, <<Tinoni varivagigalai leleamu, na za za mana roitini ara beto mana teku izongia za na toa jola?>> za gua.Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

19Nari ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Ae za vei ko na leleamu qu guniziu tu ara ao? Kepore za maka za leleana, goto na Tamaza gu makana.“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

20Qu gilagilariamua ao ria na garunu: <Muke barabarata, muke varivai, muke iko, muke vaijutu sekeseke, beto ko mu valavataria na tamamu na tinamu,> qari gua,>> za gua i Jisu.You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

21Nari ari za gua vei za na tinoni ani, <<Qa tori tuti betoria tu ara podalai na pekiqu tu ria na garunu ria,>> za gua.“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

22Tonai za nongoria i Jisu zara za paranga vei aza za parangia za na tinoni aza, <<Maka zakazava gu za qu oqoro roitini ao. Mu lao vavaidi ria doruna mua zakazava ko na poatadi za mu iadi ria qari varivasevi, beto za muna izongoria ao ria na izizongo pa noka. Pa liguna aza za muna lame ko muna tutiziu ara,>> za gua aza.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.”

23Totonai za nongoro veini aza zara za takulanga aza, ura na tinoni izizongo aza ko za rabekeni nana izizongo.But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

24Totonai za dogoria i Jisu za takulanga za na tinoni aza za paranga aza, <<Za tapata vitivitigia na tinoni izizongo za mina lugea na binangara tana Tamaza.Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

25E, zozoto tugu, za tapata jola za na kameli mina sulingi lugea za na lobogona na nila; ba mina tapata jolani mutugu aza za na lugena na tinoni izizongo pa binangara tana Tamaza,>> za gua aza.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.”

26Ria na tinoni qari nongoria za vei zara za qari nanazia aza, <<Qokolo, ko vei za, i zei gu za mina boka taalo?>> qari gua.Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu, <<Aza za tapata jola tana tinoni za zake tapata tana Tamaza,>> za gua.But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28Beto ari za gua vei i Pita, <<Dogoria ko! Gami za gami tori loi betoria tu ria doru mami zakazava ko gami tutigomami ao,>> za gua aza.“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

29Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu, <<Ma poja zozotodigamu ara gamu: na tinoni za loi paleni na nana ruma, na maqotana, ria na taina marene, na tinana na tamana, babi ria na tuna na vei, ko bi nabuluni na binangara tana Tamaza,“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

30za mina tavani vamota koviria, beto pa totozo za korapa lame za mina tekua na toa jola aza,>> za gua i Jisu.will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”

31Ego za toka kaledi i Jisu ria na nana sepele beto ari za gudi vei, <<Mu vainongoro lame! Taqe korapa zae pa Jerusalema za gita, ko pala ketakoi tu za mari gore votu beto za doru zakazava qari korokorotodi ria na tinoni korokorotai pa Kutikuti Tabuna, aza na veveina na Tuna na Tinoni.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.

32Pala mina tavalao pa limadi ria na tinoni karovodi aza, ko mari vavaledeni, mari komiti vikevikeria, beto mari tue taria.He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

33Mari majani na varipiqopiqolona, ko mari vaukea ria aza. Ba pa rane vinaue za mina toa mule pa uke aza,>> za gua i Jisu.They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34Ba qarike boka vakaberia ria na sepele ria doru ginugua ari. Ura za tavapae tadiria za na ginuadi ria na nana paranga ari, ko qarike gilagilai aza vei za pojai i Jisu.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.

35Ego totonai za tata lao kamu pa Jeriko i Jisu, za korapa nyumu tepatepanana pa keketai zona za maka tinoni nake batabatana.As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36Ko totonai za nongororia na rerege joladi ria na minete tinoni nari za nanazaria na zavagana beka za podo ani za gua.When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

37Nari qari ule vani, <<I Jisu pa Nazareti za korapa rerege jola pa zona,>> qari guni.“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

38Ura ko za kuku velavela aza, <<Jisu, Tuna i Devita! Mu roquroqu tokaniziu!>> za gua.So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39Ba qari paranga suqusuqutia na vanogotia ria na tinoni qari momoe aza. Ba tonai za vavivai mutu iapeki za na kuku, <<Tuna i Devita! Mu roquroqu tokaniziu!>> za gua.Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40Nari za turu nogoto i Jisu, za pojadi ko mari toka lameni tana za na tinoni nake batabatana za gua. Ko totonai za tata lao tana za nanazia i Jisu aza,Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

41<<Na za qu nyoroguani ao ko mana roiti vanigo ara?>> za guni. Nari ari za gua vei za na tinoni nake batabatana, <<Bangara, ara za qa nyoroguani ko bi batabata na mataqu qa gua,>> za gua.“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

42Nari ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Leana, mu batabata tu ao koviria! Na mua rangerange za tori salanigo tu!>> za gua i Jisu.“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

43Nari zake oriavo tugu batabatana za na tinoni aza, ko za rerege tututinana ti Jisu beto za kole paranga leana na vatarazaea na Tamaza aza. Ko ria na minete tinoni qari batia za vei zara za qari vatarazaea ria doru za na Tamaza.Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
