TBX
Woyom Yesu neil qayeeng pakeing tine wou e xe xel betiyeing, bei e talex wou xel en xel a mi zeimemend taxombouk, de xel se bo nimaing.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
TBX
Moxo neil embei, “Eivek beyeeng ti eno tambiy wei mi zeim qayeeng o ti mindei, wei se mi yaleeng en Anutu, me se mi wounalei en moux alis vex.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
TBX
De vexeiv ti mindei eivek beyeeng tiyon. Om mi qatoloum wou tambiy wei mi ngo qayeeng o. Vexo neil, ‘Tambiy ti embei bo vevek wou ay. Om wa menyex wou qayeeng eivek uw senghoing.’
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
TBX
“Myaxeeng eno tambiy wei mi ngo qayeeng eno se vind vexo. Dekakom moxo wounalei bei, ‘A se xaleeng en Anutu me a se wou kwang en xomaxoneing ti.
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
TBX
Ekom a xei vexeiv tiyon mi wo maying wou ay me qou e xe nimaying me lam wou ay, om a menyex wou qayeeng enok bo nimbayaing wou ay.’”
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
TBX
De Tambiy Ngandoung neil embei, “Xam ngo qayeeng wei tambiy nilul wei mi zeim qayeeng eno neil o.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
TBX
De tyek Anutu menyex wou xomaxoneing wei e beyal o, me xel mi eng wou e bendiyeing aluw boukeing o, tyek na mi daxe de se devind xel daing?
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
TBX
A neil wou xam, tyek gyei me menyex wou xel daing. Ekom gyeik bouk wei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux embei noum eno tyek gyei bei moux alis vex wei tembuing ne di wongis e?”
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
TBX
Yesu neil qayeeng pakeing tine en xel valu wei mi wou naleind bei xel venaxow bombek de xel valu se nimza nambei xel.
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
TBX
“Tambiy yayuw lek me la eivek xomek vambuing en embei na zeimemend, nge Parisi ti de nge xel wei mi qou takis o.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
TBX
Parisi tiyon nale me zeimema en xow: ‘O Anutu, a wong dange lak wou wang, en a se nambei moux amba, xel mi panax me mi wo nilul me mi wong kwapesiv, de a se nambei tambiy tiwei mi qou takis ne.
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
TBX
Bouk yayuw eivek sounda sapa eno a mi vambu yaeing, me na mi wong ti eivek xoumeeng en lul dalus wei a mi qou eno wou wang.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
TBX
“Ekom tambiy wei mi qou takis eno qandi lek me nale kwanding de se yeima la tyoung gheyapu nei, qe qatu bambou me neil embei, ‘Anutu, a mi wong sewokeing om wa laleim e pyaxow en ay.’
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
TBX
“A neil wou xam en tambiy tiwei mi qou takis on bei, gyeik lox beeng nei eno Anutu yei bei e bombek wou e manghalus. Dom Parisi eno ma. En xelti embei sanghoxe xow eno Anutu tyek beoux e, de xelti embei beoux xow eno Anutu tyek sanghoxe e.”
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
TBX
Xomaxoneing valu qou yakyak me la wou Yesu, xel embei e ni mema lek xel. Ekom gyeik ingwei xel betiyeing yei, eno xel neil xel.
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
TBX
Ekom Yesu taxe yakyak lam wou e de neil embei, “Xam ghe bong yakyak nam wou ay, xam se bale zeyi xel, en Anutu xe tete lalei nei eno xel wei xok ambei yakyak eno xel xe.
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
TBX
A neil wou xam zonghek, xelti embei se qou Anutu xe tete lalei nambei yakyak ne, eno tyek se na eivek.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
TBX
Gyovaxa ti teling wou Yesu bei, “Putoung nimza, tyek a bong vati de na qou deing mapieing luta luta?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
TBX
Yesu lewexe, “Nambei nya wang neimbei a nimza? Xelti se nimza qe Anutu venaxow.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
TBX
Wang woulek qayeeng petieing: ‘Wa seng bo kwapesiv is xel nge, wa seng nyeis xel nge na mey, wa se panax, wa seng bong qayeeng tyonyeing en xel nge. Wa mi gwevek mam aluw tam xeinghembi.’”
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
TBX
Gyovaxa neil, “Gyeik a yak me elam tyip gweimbeeng ne, eno a mi betiwou petieing on dalus.”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
TBX
Gyeik ingwei Yesu ngo inyon, eno neil wou e bei, “Wang ghei ma en lulti. Wang bo vateivek lek lulul dalus wei wang o, de ghe bong malew on wou xel kanyo, on tyek wa qou lulul nimzamza eivek tyoung gheyapu nei, woyom wang nam betiwou ay.”
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
TBX
Gyeik ingwei moxo ngo inyon eno lalei wo maying, en nambei tambiy yon xe lulul ngenong.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
TBX
Yesu yei e me neil embei, “Inye wo pok en xel wei lulul ana embei na eivek Anutu xe tete lalei yo!
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
TBX
Wangwei kamel embei na eivek ying manghalus wei duweing lulul o ond tyek bo pok wou e? Ekom xel wei lulul ana embei na eivek Anutu xe tete lalei eno tyek bo pok ngandoung.”
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
TBX
Xel wei ngo inyon eno teling bei, “Wangwei nambei nyon nei ond tyek eti na mendei mapieing luta luta?”
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
TBX
Yesu neil elox bei, “Lulul wei xomaxoneing se teyeimbei bong eno Anutu teyeimbei tyek bong.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
TBX
Petele neil wou embei, “Wei, xa ghanaw xa xe lulul dalus de betiy wang.”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

Yesu neil wou xel bei, “A neil wou xam zonghek, xelti embei saing beeng o venei o liyeiw o mamata o neuyeiw en Anutu xe tete lalei
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

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
TBX
Tyek xel toung moxo na eivek xel amba memend. Tyek xel baluk seloukeing wou e, me bo nol wou e, me pesuv myenlouk lek e,

BSB:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33

BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
TBX
Xel betiyeing se woulek qayeeng tine qes en qes xupek en xel, me xel se woulek vati wei di neil o.
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

Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

“Your faith has healed you.”
