1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
1Ege E uiabi detaut nerute mer babisidarie, iaueakai ner kak esorerapare, a nolea obogai;
2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
2E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Nerute autumer le emeri nerute uteb, E nole geum Adim, pako leem:
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
3Abele uteb nagri kosker, emetu eumida abara kimiar; E ko bakeamulu abim gaire gerger, a abi detager, kega, Ma itimer, le nagri kara lu abi dog.
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
4Uader gerger umer kak asoli: a keubu ga dikiapore muige taba nerkep ge, kega, Kaka nole geum Adim, pako leem;
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
5A nerute, abele kosker, emetu eumida abara kimiar, E ner kak kari namosili, kaka ko nautumerare abi lu gem, iaueakai nole kari aogat kak.
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
6Ege Opole lut uiabi daratagerare, Ua aserare autumer le la mer.
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
7Ege Ade uapum abelelam gaire abara le, uiaba ner kak ereretikri gerger ge a ki ge, nako uiaba itimer uiaba lu?
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?”
8Kaka uabi detagereda, E dudum nautumerare uiaba lu. Ese Le la Uerem uatabaruk, nako E nagri le abim oituli geseb ge?
9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
9E ge daratagerare abele mer babisidarie uiabim uader le, uiaba dikiapor oituli, a uader dituaki:
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
10Neisi le bakeamulei zogo meta ge esorerapare; nerute Faresaio, a nerute telona.
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.
11Faresaio no tepteb ekue, E gebgeb esorerapare abele mer, Ade, kaka marim esoao, kaka nole mokakalam uader lu gatkamer le, adud tonar, a eruam, a nole mokakalam abele telona.
12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
12Gaire sabath ge, neis gaber kaka leuer baili; kaka mari naisuere ten lu kaka erdali.
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!’
13Abele telona ekuei muriz ge, umer kak kotorem egreemalu, epe marmot ge bamu, a detager, kega, Kara Ade, ma omare kaka uit le.
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.”
14Kaka uabi detager, kega, Abele le bakeamu taba metaem, E debele, nole mokakalam nerute: abelelam E lagelag aule, le kebile; abele le E lagelag kebile, E aule.
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.
15Ege uiaba tais sursur sursur uerem, iaueakai E uiabi uaituti: ege kaimeg giz erdarare, ege uiaba daisumdarare.
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.
16Iesu de nardarare, a uiabi darabgerare, kega, Karim sursur sursur uerem taraisare, ua nolea daraisumdarare: abelelam mokakalam uader emeri Ade ra baselaia.
17Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17Ageakar, kaka uabi detagereda, Ese nerute le nolea erpei Ade ra baselaia, E mokakalam kebile, umer kak ko bardare.
18Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Ege nerute kole lut abi itimer, kega, Ereuer debele, nalu lu kaka ikeli, iaueakai kaka nagri eded aseamur kak?
19“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19A Iesu de abi detager, kega, Nalu ma detager kaka debele? nolea le debele, netate Ade tepteb.
20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
20Ege ma umele Ade ra gelar, Ma nolea adud tonar, Ma nolea ipit eumilu nerute le, Ma nolea eruam, Ma nolea bes mer, Mamoro asoli mabi abera a apuera.
21“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
21Ege E abi detager, kega, Kaka irmili gaire lu uridili kebi ueremlam.
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.”
22Ege Iesu de asoli abara mer, ege abi detager, kega, Netate lu ma nolea erdali: ma terapei mara lu uridili, ma naisuerare uader le nole lu kak, iaueakai ma nagri debe lu kotor ge: a ma tabakeam, kari narmili.
23But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
23Ege E asoli abele mer, abara nerkep au asiasi; abelelam E lu giz ra apu.
24Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24Epe Iesu abi dasmer, E detager, kega, Au beber lu giz ra apu barota Ade ra baselaia!
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.”
25Kamela norgor ko badare atketlu muige, a le lu giz ra apu etkoprida Ade ra baselaia badare.
26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Uader le giz aserare abele mer, a uiaba detagerare, kega, Ese mokakalam, nete le umele eded?
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
27Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Abele lu le umer kak ikeli, epe Ade umele ikeli.
28“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
28Epe Peteru abi detager, kega, Dasmer, keriba dikaer gaire lu uridili, a keriba mari irmili.
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
29Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, kega, Ese nerute le dikaer tabara meta, pako aba a apu, pako tabara le, pako tabara kosker, a omasker, Ade ra baselaialam,
30will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
30Epe E nagri gaire dordor lu peirdi, pako kerker ge niaiem, eded aseamur kak.
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.
31E ge naisare tuelf le, E uiabi daratagerare, Dasmer, mi nabakeuare Ierusalemaem, iaueakai ageakarem gaire lu uridili perofeta giz detarare abele mer abim Le la Uerem.
32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32Abelelam, E nakuarare uiabim gaire nogle, ui ge abi negdegarare, a abi dedkoli, a uiaba mosu ituare:
33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
33A uiaba abi damarik, a abi ipit eumilu: a thri gerger E ko eded akaida.
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.
34A uiaba umer kak asoli gaire lu; ege ispilu abele mer uiabim, uiaba umer kak abele mer, E uiabi daratagerare.
35As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
35Ege E maike Ieriko ge, a nerute sadamer le emeri gab ge E lu damosi:
36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
36Ege E asor gaire le lakub bakeuare, E uiabi nautumerare, kega, Nalu abele lu?
37“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
37Ui ge abi detagerare, kega, Iesu, Nazareta le, E bakeamu.
38So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Ege E ereretikri, kega, Iesu, Dauida ra Uerem, ma kari omare.
39Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39Ui ge, uader kekiam, a abi daisumdarare, Ma baimi: epe E au kase ereretikri, Dauida ra Uerem, ma kari omare.
40Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
40Ege Iesu ekuei, a uiabi daratagerare, kega, Karim tegardare; ege abi maiem, a abi itimer, kega,
41“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
41Nalu lu ma laglag, kaka marim akere? E abim detaut, kega, Opole, kara pone bakaerti.
42“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
42Ege Iesu de abi detager, kega, Mara pone obakaelei: mabi oatulam ma nagri eded.
43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
43Ege abara pone bakaelei, E abi irmili, E Ade deseper: ege abele le uridili ui nardarare, epe uiaba Ade desepereda.
