1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
1Na Jesus el fahk sie pupulyuk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut in akkalemye nu selos lah elos enenu in pre pacl nukewa ac tia fuhleak.
2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
2“Oasr sie mwet nununku in sie siti srisrik su tiana sangeng sin God, ku akfulatye kutena mwet.
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
3Oasr pac katinmas se su muta pac in acn sac, su fahsri na mwet nununku sac ac kwafe sel elan kasrel aksuwosye lokoalok se inmasrol ac mwet se ma alein nu sel.
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
4Pacl na paht mwet nununku sac tiana oru kutu ma, na tok el sifacna nunku in el mu, ‘Nga finne tia sangeng sin God, ku sunakin kutena mwet,
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
5tusruk ke lupan lokoalok mutan se inge oru nu sik, nga ac kasrel elan eis suwohs ma el suk uh. Nga fin tia, na el ac sifil pacna fahsriyu nwe ke na nga totola na sel!’”
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
6Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Porongo ma mwet nununku koluk sac fahk inge.
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
7Na mea, ya God El ac tia oru pac nununku lal in wo nu sin mwet lal su pang nu sel ke len ac fong in suk kasru sel? Ya El ac pahtlac in kasrelos?
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?”
8Nga fahk nu suwos, El ac fah sa na in oru kasru lal nu selos. Tusruktu, ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, ya el ac konauk lulalfongi fin faclu?”
9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
9Jesus el oayapa fahk pupulyuk se inge nu sin mwet su pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, ac elos pilesru mwet nukewa sayalos.
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
10“Sie pacl ah mwet luo utyak nu in Tempul in pre. Sie selos mwet Pharisee, ac el ngia mwet eisani tax.
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.
11Mwet Pharisee sac tuyak ac mukena pre, ‘O God, nga kulo nu sum lah nga tia oana mwet ngia, su rapku ac oru ma sesuwos ac kosro. Nga kulo pac lah nga tia oana mwet eisani tax se ingo.
12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
12Nga lalo len luo ke wik se, ac nga sot nu sum sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa luk!’
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!’
13A mwet eisani tax sac tu oetok ah, ac el tia pacna keyak nu lucng ke el pre, a el puok iniwal ac fahk, ‘O God, pakoten nu sik, tuh nga sie mwet koluk!’”
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.”
14Ac Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, mwet eisani tax sac pa God El insewowo se ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, ac tia mwet Pharisee sac. Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal fah akfulatyeyuk.”
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.
15Kutu mwet uh use tulik srisrik natulos nu yurin Jesus tuh elan filiya paol faclos. Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos liye, elos multikin nu sin mwet ah.
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.
16A Jesus el pangon tulik uh in tuku nu yorol, ac el fahk, “Lela tulik in tuku nu yuruk, ac nikmet ikololosi, tuh Tokosrai lun God ma lalos su oana elos.
17Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos na su eis Tokosrai lun God oana sie tulik srisrik ac fah utyak nu we.”
18Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew el siyuk sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti wo, mea nga enenu in oru tuh nga fah usrui moul ma pahtpat?”
19“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19Ac Jesus el siyuk sel, “Efu kom ku pangonyu wo? Wangin sie mwet wo, a God mukena.
20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
20Kom etu ma sap uh: ‘Nik kom kosro; nik kom akmas; nik kom pisrapasr; nik kom orek loh kikiap lain mwet; sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom.’”
21“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
21Ac mwet sac topuk, “Nga nuna akos ma sap inge nukewa oe ke nga tulik me.”
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.”
22Ke Jesus el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sel, “Oasr pac ma se lula kom enenu in oru. Kukakunla ma lom nukewa ac sang mani kac an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ac fah oasr mwe kasrup lom inkusrao; na kom fahsru fahsr tukuk.”
23But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
23Tusruk ke mwet sac lohng ma inge, arulana toasrla insial, mweyen el arulana kasrup.
24Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24Jesus el liye lah mwet sac toasrla ac el fahk, “Arulana upa nu sin mwet kasrup in ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God!
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.”
25Ac fisrasr soko camel in fahsr sasla ke mutun soko nilul, liki sie mwet kasrup in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Na mwet ma lohng kas ma el fahk uh siyuk, “Fin ouingan, su ac ku in moul?”
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
27Jesus el topuk, “Ma su kofla orek sin mwet uh, God El ku in oru.”
28“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
28Na Peter el fahk, “Liye, kut filiya ma lasr nukewa ac fahsr tukum.”
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
29Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su filiya lohm sel, ku mutan kial, ku mwet wial, ku papa tumal ac nina kial, ku tulik natul ke sripen Tokosrai lun God,
30will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
30el ac fah eis ma yohk liki ke moul se inge, oayapa ke moul se tok uh el ac fah eis moul ma pahtpat.”
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.
31Jesus el srela mwet singoul luo uh nu saya ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng akwoye! Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, yen se ma nukewa mwet palu elos tuh simusla ke Wen nutin Mwet ac akpwayeyuk we.
32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, fahk kas koluk kacl, ac anel.
33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
33Elos ac fah srunglul ac unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
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.
34Mwet tumal lutlut elos tiana kalem ke ma inge; kalmen kas inge wikla nu selos, ac elos tia etu ma Jesus el kaskas kac uh.
35As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
35Ke Jesus el tuku apkuranyang nu Jericho, oasr mwet kun se muta sisken inkanek uh ac ngusr.
36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
36Ke el lohng ke un mwet uh fahsr alukella el siyuk, “Mea se inge?”
37“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
37Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Jesus lun Nazareth el a fahsryak ngi.”
38So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Mwet kun sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Jesus! Wen nutin David! Pakomutuk!”
39Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39Mwet ma fahsr meet uh mulat nu sel ac fahk elan misla. Tusruk el wowoyak yohk liki meet, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sik!”
40Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
40Ke ma inge Jesus el tui, ac sap in utuku mwet sac nu yorol. Ke el tuku apkuranyang, Jesus el siyuk sel,
41“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
41“Mea kom lungse nga in oru nu sum?” Ac el topuk, “Leum, nga ke nga in sifilpa ku in liye.”
42“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
42Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kwal, kom in liye! Lulalfongi lom akkeyekomla.”
43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
43In pacl sacna el ku lac in liye, ac el fahsr tukun Jesus ac sang kulo nu sin God. Ke un mwet uh liye ma inge, elos nukewa kaksakin God.
