Luke 18 (MNI) · Opened

1Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung inbasing aduda, matam pumnamakta haijagadabani aduga keidounungda pukning hantharoidabani haiba tambinaba pandam ama hairak-i,Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

2“Karigumba Sahar amada Tengban Mapu kidaba migidamak karisu khandaba wayel mapu ama leirammi.“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

3Aduga sahar adumaktada lukhrabi amasu leirammi. Mahakna wayen mapu aduda tattana laktuna, ‘Eihakki yeknabagi mathakta achumba wayel toubiyu’ haina haijarammi.And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

4Matam kuina wayen mapu aduna yaramde adubu mameidadi mahak masa mathanta haijarammi, ‘Eina Tengban Mapubu kidrabasu aduga migidamak karisu khandrabasu,For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,

5lukhrabi asina eingonda awaba piduna leibagi maramna mahakkidamak ei achumba wayel tourage. Eina masi toudragadi mahakna asum laktuna eibu yetlaragani.’ ”yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”

6Adudagi Ibungona makha tana hairak-i, “Wayel chumdaba mapu aduna haiba adu tao.And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.

7Adunadi Tengban Mapuda ahing nungthil animakta mateng panbinaba haijariba Ibungo masamakki khandokkhraba mising adugidamak mahakna achumba wayel toubiroidra? Mahakna makhoibu mateng pangbada thinthaduna leigadra?Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?

8Eina nakhoida hairibasini, mahakna makhoigidmak achumba wayel thunamak toubigani. Adubu Migi Machanupa aduna lakpa matamda malem asida mangonda thajaba mi mahakna phanggadra?”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?”

9Adudagi Jisuna masa mathantabu achumba chatpani haina thajajaba aduga mi ateibuna hanthana khanba makhoising aduda pandam asimasu hairak-i,To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:

10“Nupa anikhak Mapugi Sanglenda haijanabagidamak kakhatlammi. Nupa amana phariseeni aduga amna kanggat khombani.“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

11Adudagi 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 by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

12Eina chayol amada anirak chara helli aduga eigi leijaba pumnamakki saruk taragi ama nangonda pi.’I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

13Adubu kanggat khomba adunadi lapna leplaga mamai phaoba swargaromda yengkhatchaba ngamjadana leirammi aduga mahakna mathabak yeijaraduna hairak-i, ‘Tengban Mapu, papchenba eibu chanbiyu.’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!’

14Eina 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.”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.”

15Nongma mioi kharana makhoigi apikpa angangsingbu Jisuna khut thambiduna yaipha-thoujal pihannabagidamak Jisugi nakta puraklammi. Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna madu ubada makhoida cheirammi.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.

16Adubu Jisuna makhoibu kousinduna hairak-i, “Apikpa angangsingna eigi inakna lakchasanu, makhoibu khamganu, maramdi Tengban Mapugi leibak adu makhoi asigumbasinggini.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.

17Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, apikpa angang amagumna Tengban Mapugi leibak adubu lousindaba kanagumba amatana Tengban Mapugi leibakta khak changloi.”Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

18Nongma Jihudigi luchingba amana Jisuda asumna hanglammi, “Aphaba Oja Ibungo, lomba naidaba punsi phangjanaba eina kari toujagadage?”Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

19Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Karigi nangna eingonda aphaba haina kouribano? Tengban Mapu nattana aphaba kana amata leite.“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

20Nahakna 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 murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

21Nupa aduna khumlak-i, “Eina angang oiringeidagi houna hairiba wayel yathang pumnamaksing asi ngakcharak-i.”“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

22Jisuna 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.”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.”

23Adubu nupa aduna madu tabada pukning yamna warammi, maramdi mahak inak yamna khunlammi.But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

24Maduda nupa aduna pukning yamna waba adu Jisuna uraduna hairakki, “Inakkhunba misingna Tengban Mapugi leibakta changba kayada lukhrabano!Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

25Inakkhunba mi amana Tengban Mapugi leibakta changbabudi ut amana yetum manada litpana henna lai.”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.”

26Maduda wa adu taba mising aduna hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi kanana kanbiba phangba ngamgadage?”Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27Jisuna khumlak-i, “Mioibagi maphamda oithoktaba adu Tengban Mapugi maphamdadi oithokpa ngaktani.”But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28Maduda Peter-na hairak-i, “Yengbiyu, eikhoina eikhoigi leijaba pumnamak thadoktuna Ibungogi tung injari.”“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

29Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, Tengban Mapu leibakkidamak mayum-makei, nattraga mama-mapa, nattraga machin-manao, nattraga nupi- angang thadoklaga“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

30mahakna taibangpanda leiringei matamda madudagi saruk yamna henna phangloidaba amasung lakkadaba matam aduda lomba naidaba punsi phangloidaba mi kana amata leite.”will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”

31Adudagi 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.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.

32Mahakpu Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi makhutta pithokkani. Makhoina mahakpu noknagani, ikaiba pigani amasung tin sitchingani.He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

33Makhoina mahakpu phugani amasung mahakpu hatkani, aduga humnisuba numitta mahakna amuk hinggatkani.”They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34Adubu tung-inbasing aduna hairibasing adu amata khangba ngamlamde. Waheising adugi nunggi oiba wahandok adu makhoida lotlammi amasung Ibungona hairiba adugi maramda makhoina khangba ngamkhide.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.

35Aduga Jisuna Jericho naksillaklabada mimit tangba nupa ama chakniduna lambi mapanda phamduna leirammi.As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36Mahakna miyam amana lambi aduda chatpagi khonjel adu tabada, mahakna kari thoklabage haiduna hanglammi.When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

37Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nazareth-ki Jisu chatli.”“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

38Maduda mahakna laoraduna hairak-i, “David-ki Machanupa, Jisu! Eibu chanbiyu!”So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39Maduda mang thaduna chatlibasing aduna cheiraduna mahakpu tumin leinanaba hairammi. Adubu mahakna hennadum houna laorak-i, “David-ki Machanupa! Eibu chanbiyu!”Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40Maduda Jisuna chatlambadagi lepladuna mahakpu puraknaba yathang pirammi. Aduga mahakna manakta laklabada, Jisuna mangonda hanglak-i,Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, 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?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

42Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahak uba phangjaro, nahakki thajabana nahakpu phahanbire.”“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

43Khudak adumaktada nuba adu uba phangjare, aduga Tengban Mapubu thagatchaduna Jisugi tung injare. Aduga madu ubada miyam adunasu Tengban Mapubu thagatcharammi.Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
