YMP
Yisu henang ambô dôhô te hêndêng ya ŋa hîndông vo eteng mek îtôm wak nômbêng iti sapêng me dô kapôlôŋing injap andô.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
YMP
Be henang bêŋiti, “Melak lông te me jas te hîmô. Yêni thak mî hêkô Wapômbêng amî me thak hîpôlîk ethak avîlanô hiving.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
YMP
Me avî tôp te hîmô long êng. Be yêni hê hêndêng jas êng lômbôlông be henang nena, ‘Yêi lêk ŋakyo te ayê i kambom be nôlêm opesang. Be ditu nôlêm ondaŋô yînîng ambô be nopesang.’
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
YMP
Metom jas hêndô avî tôp êng ya ambô hîtôm bôlô bêng anông. “Hîtôm wak te me jas êng la hêv nena, ‘Mî ya hakô Wapômbêng amî me thak ya hapôlîk ethak avîlanô ning ambô hiving,
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
YMP
metom ya handô avî tôp iti nêlêm wak nômbêng iti sapêng be nimbuling yînîng auk. Bêng be yandaŋô yêni ya ambô be ya pesang ketheng vo dô ni be nêlêm emba be tem nembong be ya kapôlông injap.’ ”
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
YMP
Me Anômbêng henang nena, “Umbua auk ethak jas kambom iti ya ambô.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
YMP
Bêng yom Wapômbêng tem nendaŋô ya avîlanô takatu be bôk hîtôk loho yôv ining athêng atu be eleng êndêng bîlîvông be lêkwak be nepesang mesa mî? Me tem nendaŋô long vambô mesa? Mî anông!
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
YMP
Ya hanang avanông bing nena tem nendaŋô ketheng be nepesang. Metom wakma Anô Ya Nakandung atu hele hêlêm pîk hethak loŋbô, êng me tem ninjê nena avîlanô êv iving doho îmô mesa mî?”
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
YMP
Me Yisu henang ambô dôhô te hêndêng avîlanô takatu be êyê i hîtôm avîlanô thêthôp me avîlanô viyang mî. Êng me Yisu henang nena,
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
YMP
“Anô yi ê melak matheng vo eteng mek. Anô yang me Palisi me yang me anô hiwa takis.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
YMP
Palisi êng da heva be heteng mek bêŋiti nena, ‘Wapômbêng, mavî anông vo ya anô mavî me ya mî hîtôm anô vi amî. Loho me ŋa vanî lêk ŋa kambom lêk ŋa evong sek mayaliv. Metom ya mî anông, me ya mî hîtôm anô hiwa takis iti amî.
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
YMP
Sonda te ya wak yi me thak ya hatip ethak nôm. Me nômkama nômbêng atu be ya hauwa me thak ya havanî tham hê ondong lauming be ya hêv ondong te hêndêng ong.’
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
YMP
“Metom anô hiwa takis heva dêim me moma be hêkô vo ninjê leng. Me hikum be hetak bang luvi hêk mandaluk thing me henang nena, ‘Wapômbêng, ya anô kombom kambom be nôŋgêv kapôlôm vo ya.’ ”
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
YMP
Êng me Yisu henang nena, “Ya hanang ethak môlô nena, anô hiwa takis hîvô hê ya melak me lêk hivutak anô thêthôp hêk Wapômbêng mandaluk. Metom anô yang êng me mî. Ôpatu be hêv ya athêng ling me Wapômbêng tem netaving ya athêng. Metom ôpatu be hetaving i me tem Wapômbêng êŋgêv ya athêng ling.”
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
YMP
Avîlanô iwa ining sêiknena ê hêndêng Yisu vo netak bang êyônjêk loho. Me ya ŋa hîndông êyê be ethang loho.
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
YMP
Metom Yisu helam sêiknena takatu êlêm me henang nena, “Otak sêiknena vo êlêm êndêng ya me dô omba long thing andô, vômbê nena avîlanô takatu be athêng mî hîtôm sêiknena takiti me Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng me loho ning.
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
YMP
Ya hanang avanông ethak môlô nena, ôpatu be mî hiwa Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng hîtôm sêiknena amî me mî hîtôm nimbutak êyô long êng kapô bini amî. Mî anông.”
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
YMP
Avaka te henang ik Yisu ling nena, “Kîdôŋga mavî, tem yambong ômbête vo yambua lêkmala îtôm wak nômbêng iti sapêng?”
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
YMP
Me Yisu henang viyang êndêng yêni nena, “Bisête be holam nena mavî? Anô te mî mavî amî me Wapômbêng yom ditu mavî.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
YMP
Ambô balambung me bôk hoyala yôv: ‘Dô nombong sek imbing anô yang yanavî andô. Me dô nuŋgik anô vônô paling andô. Me dô nombong vanî andô. Me dô nonang ambô yôhîng ethak anô vi be nombong ambô vo loho andô. Me nondovak lemambô lo lemtambô ning ambô.’”
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
YMP
Me avaka êng henang nena, “Waklavông ya yaôna hele be hêyô lêk me thak ya hasopa ambô balambung takêng sapêng.”
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
YMP
Me Yisu helaŋô be henang ethak ôpêng nena, “Metom ong nômate mî denang. Nu me nôŋgêv yong nômkama sapêng vo avîlanô êŋgêv vuli me numbua valuseleng takêng sapêng be nôŋgêv êndêng ŋa siv. Hovong bêng me tem yong nômkama mavî lomaloma nîmô melak leng. Me nôlêm osopa ya.”
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
YMP
Yêni me anô lêk nômkama bêng anông, be ditu helaŋô ambô êng be hêv malêing bêng hêndêng yêni be hê lêk la malêing.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
YMP
Yisu hêyê ôpêng la malêing be henang nena, “Ŋa lêk nômkama bêng tem êpôm malêing bêng vo imbutak êyô Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng kapô bini.
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
YMP
Avanông bing nena vumeng vo bok kamel imbutak êyô lôvîk indi kwak ya ambuang bini, metom malêing bêng anông vo anô lêk nômkama bêng te tem nimbutak êyô Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng kapô bini.”
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
YMP
Avîlanô elaŋô ambô êng me enang ik i ling nena, “Bêng be opalê hîtôm nimbua lêkmala wak nômbêng iti sapêng?”
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
YMP
Me henang nena, “Nôm takatu be anô mî hîtôm embong amî me Wapômbêng yom hîtôm nembong.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
YMP
Me Pita henang nena, “Nondaŋô! Bôk yoôtak yoô ning nômkama sapêng be alêm vo asopa ong.”
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29
YMP
Me Yisu henang ethak loho nena, “Ya hanang avanông bing ethak môlô nena, anô te la hêv Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng be hetak ya melak lêk yanavî lêk nali lêk viyaŋi me lambô lo talêmbô be hevong yêni ya ku,
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
YMP
êng me waklavông ôpêng hîmô pîk denang me Wapômbêng tem nêŋgêv ya nômkama sapêng êndêng inda, me tem nêŋgêv bêng anông êyômô long imbing, me heveng yam me tem nêŋgêv lêkmala atu be tem nîmô îtôm wak nômbêng iti sapêng êndêng inda imbing.”
BSB
BSB:
will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31
YMP
Yisu hiwa ya ŋa hîndông lauming be lahavôyi takatu hethak tom me henang nena, “Ondaŋô. Aô na daku Jelusalem vo ambô taksêmbôk be plopet ekavu hethak Anô Ya Nakandung atu tem nimbutak avanông.
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
YMP
Tem êŋgêv yêni îndôk ŋa long bôyang baheŋing. Me tem emalîk ethak inda be enang ambô lomaloma ethak yêni me îsuvapôk ethak inda.
BSB
BSB:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33
YMP
Me tem embali inda be iŋgik yêni vônô me hêndêng wak ali lô me tem nimbiyô ethak loŋbô.”
BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
YMP
Metom loho mî eyala ambô êng bôte amî. Me ambô êng ya ondong sapêng me hîmô kapô be mî eyala amî me îthông paling.
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
YMP
Yisu hêyô bidong Jeliko me anô mandaluk pusip te hîmô loŋdaŋlê dang be hepetenak avîlanô vo êŋgêv nômkama êndêng yêni.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36
YMP
Ôpêng helaŋô avîlanô bêng anông ele me henang ik loho ling nena, “Ômbête hivutak?”
BSB
BSB:
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37
YMP
Me loho nang ethak yêni nena, “Yisu nang Nasalet hêlêm.”
BSB
BSB:
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38
YMP
Êng me anô mandaluk pusip atu helam nena, “Yisu, Devit Lim Lêkmuk, lem iŋgik ong ethak ya!”
BSB
BSB:
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39
YMP
Avîlanô takatu be imung ethang yêni be enang nena, “Ong bonong.” Metom helam lêkwaê nena, “Devit Lim Lêkmuk, lem iŋgik ong ethak ya!”
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!”
40
YMP
Êng me Yisu heva me henang vo lohombua ôpêng êlêm. Ôpêng hêyô me Yisu henang ik inda ling nena,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41
YMP
“Lem hiving yambong ômbête êndêng ong?” Me ôpêng henang viyang nena, “Anômbêng, ya leng hiving yaŋga tak.”
BSB
BSB:
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42
YMP
Me Yisu henang ethak ôpêng nena, “Nôŋgô tak. Yong hôêv iving hevong be lêk huvutak mavî.”
BSB
BSB:
“Receive your sight!”
Jesus replied.
“Your faith has healed you.”
43
YMP
Me ketheng oyang me ôpêng mandaluk hipuak be hêyê tak. Me yêni hesopa Yisu be hêv Wapômbêng ya athêng ling. Me avîlanô êyê nôm êng me êv Wapômbêng ya athêng ling ethak leng.
BSB
BSB:
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
