1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
1Thangthui yoeyah ham neh thathae pawt ham a kuek soah amih te nuettahnah neh a voek tih,
2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
2Kho pakhat ah laitloekkung pakhat om tih Pathen taengah birhih pawt tih hlang taengah a yahnah om pawh .
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
3Te vaengah kho khuiah aka om nuhmai loh anih te a paan tih , ' Ka kocaelh hmaiah kai n'tang sak ,’ a ti nah .
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
4Tedae te khohnin ham ngaih pawh. Te phoeah amah te , ' Pathen taengah ka birhih pawt tih hlang te ka yahnah mai ngawn pawh .
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
5Te akhaw he nuhmai he kamah thakthaenah la n'toeh dongah anih ka tang sak eh. Te daengah ni a bawtnah la pawk vetih kai n'ngae pawt eh? ,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
6Te phoeiah Boeipa loh, “ Laitloekkung loh a boethae kah a cal te ya uh .
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
7A taengah khoyin khothaih aka pang, a coelh hlang kah kutthungnah te Pathen loh a saii mueh moenih. Te dongah amih taengah a thinsen a?
8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
8Nangmih taengah ka thui te, amih kah kutthungnah te thamaa la a saii ni ta. Tedae hlang capa ha pawk vaengah tangnah he diklai hmanah a hmuh venim?” a ti nah.
9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
9A dueng la om ham amah neh amah pangtung tih a tloe aka hnaelcoe hlangvang rhoek te khaw hekah nuettahnah neh,
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
10“ Hlang panit tah thangthui ham bawkim la cet rhoi. Pakhat tah Pharisee tih pakhat te mangmu aka coi ni .
11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
11Pharisee tah amah la pai tih , “ Hlang tloe kutveet aka khueh, halang rhoek, samphaih rhoek, neh he kah mangmucoi bangla ka om pawt dongah Pathen nang he kan uem ,
12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
12Sabbath te hnavoei ka yaeh, ka kaelh boeih te parha pakhat la vawpvawp ka paek , ' tila thangthui .
13But 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!’
13Tedae mangmucoi tah soei pai tih mik pataeng vaan la a dai ngaih pawh. A lungkoe te a tum tih , ' Pathen aw, ka tholh he han dawth lah ,’ a ti .
14I 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.”
14Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih he pakhat lakah aka tang ngai la a im te a paan. Te dongah amah neh amah aka pomsang boeih tah a tlarhoel sak ni. Tedae amah neh amah aka yalh tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
15Now 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.
15Te vaengah cahni rhoek te taek van saeh tila amah taengla a bawnhlak uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amih te a tlung uh.
16But 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.
16Tedae Jesuh loh amih a khue tih, “Camoe rhoek te kamah taengla ha pawk ham han hlah uh, amih te kang uh boeh. Amih ham ni Pathen kah ram a om.
17Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram te camoe bangla aka doe pawt long tah a khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
18Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Jesuh te boei pakhat loh a dawt tih, “Saya then, mebang ka saii nen lae dungyan hingnah ka pang eh?” a ti nah.
19“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “ Balae tih kai he then na ti? Pathen amah bueng pawt atah aka then a om moenih .
20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
20Olpaek rhoek te na ming coeng, samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huen boeh, laithae boeh, na pa neh na nu te hinyah,” a ti nah.
21“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
21Tedae te long te, “Te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah loh boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
22On 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.”
22A yaak vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “ Pakhat na vawt pueng. Na khueh sarhui te boeih yoi lamtah khodaeng rhoek ham tael pah. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai taengah pahoi ha bang,” a ti nah.
23But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
23Tedae anih te kuirhang la muep a om dongah te ol te ngang a yaak vaengah sut om.
24Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24Ngang a yaak te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah, “ Tangka aka khueh rhoek loh Pathen kah ram khuila a kun ham tah bahoeng kuel mai .
25Indeed, 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.”
25Kuirhang te Pathen ram kuiah a kun lakah phamet khui ah kalauk a kun te a phoeng la om,” a ti nah.
26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Aka ya rhoek loh, “Te koinih unim aka daem thai ve?” a ti uh.
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
27Tedae Jesuh loh, “ Hlang loh a tloel nah te Pathen taengah tah yoeikoek la om mai,” a ti nah.
28“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
28Te vaengah Peter loh, “Amah kah imlo aka toeng kaimih long tah namah kam vai uh he,” a ti nah.
29“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
29Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “ Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Pathen kah ram ham im khaw, yuu khaw, manuca khaw, manu napa khaw, a ca khaw aka toeng te a om moenih .
30will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
30Anih tah tahae tue vaengah a pawklaih neh kumhal ah dungyan hingnah aka thoeng te dang mueh pawt suidae? a ti nah.
31Then 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.
31Hlainit te a khuen tih amih taengah, “ Jerusalem la cet uh sih ne, tonghma rhoek loh a daek hlang capa kawng te boeih soep pawn ni .
32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32Namtom rhoek taengah a voeih vetih a tamdaeng ni, a neet ni, a timtoih ni ,
33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
33Anih te a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni, tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
34But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
34Tedae amih loh te te a hmuhming uh moenih. Hekah oltak long he amih taeng lamloh a thuh uh pueng dongah a thui te yakming uh pawh.
35As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
35Jerocho te a pha tom vaengah mikdael pakhat loh long taengah ngol tih a bih.
36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
36Hlangping kah a pah te a yaak vaengah, “Balae aka om he,” a ti.
37“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
37Te vaengah Nazareth Jesuh a pah te a taengla a puen pa uh.
38So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Te dongah pang tih, “David Capa, Jesuh, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
39Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39Te vaengah aka lamhma rhoek loh anih te kamkhuem sak ham a ho uh. Tedae anih te muep lat pang tih, “David capa kai ng'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
40Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
40Te dongah Jesuh tah pai tih, anih te amah taengla mawt hamla ol a paek. A yoei uh vaengah Jesuh loh mikdael amah te a dawt.
41“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
41“Nang ham na ngaih te balae kan saii eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah mikdael loh, “Boeipa, hmuh ham,” a ti nah.
42“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
42Jesuh loh anih te, “ Tueng saeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang,” a ti nah.
43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
43Te vaengah pahoi a hmuh dongah Jesuh hnuk a vai doeah Pathen te a thangpom. Pilnam boeih long khaw a hmuh vaengah Pathen te thangthennah a paek.
