¹And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

¹Oti toe, Yesus mpo'uli' hanyala lolita rapa', mpotudui' ana'guru-na bona tida-ra mosampaya pai' neo' mere' nono-ra.

²Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

²Na'uli': "Rala ngata hamola', ria hadua topobotuhi to uma mengkoru hi Alata'ala pai' uma wo'o-i mposaile' ba hema-hema.

³And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

³Hi ngata toe wo'o, ria hadua tobine tobalu. Wori' ngkani-imi hilou mponyanyo topobotuhi toei ngkeni kara-kara-na, na'uli': `Tulungi-a-kuwo mposinyanyo-ki bali' -ku.'

⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁴"Lomo' -lomo' -na, topobotuhi toei uma dota mpotulungi-i. Aga ka'oo-omea-na na'uli' hi rala nono-na: `Nau' uma-a mengkoru hi Alata'ala pai' uma wo'o-a mposaile' ba hema-hema,

⁵Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

⁵agina kutulungi lau-imi tobalu toei, apa' najojo rahi tumai mposaleroi-a. Apa' ane uma kutulungi-i, uma oa' mpai' nabahakai tumai, alaa-na kupo'oha lau wo'o-kuwo mpai'.'"

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁶Oti toe, na'uli' Pue' Yesus: "Pe'epei-koi napa to na'uli' topobotuhi toei. Nau' uma monoa' nono-na, dota moto-i mpotulungi tobalu to ntora mperapii' -i.

⁷And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁷Peliu-liu-nami Alata'ala doko' mpotulungi topetuku' -na to mekakae ncuu hi eo-na pai' hi bengi-na. Ba ni'uli' -koina, napeka'au ncala' pai' lako' natulungi-rae?

⁸I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

⁸Uma-hawoe'! Bate napesahui moto-hawo mpotulungi-ra. Aga ane rata nculii' -apa mpai', Aku' Ana' Manusia', ha ria-ra-pidi kurua' tauna to mepangala' hi rala dunia' toi?"

⁹And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

⁹Oti toe, Yesus mpo'uli' hanyala-pi lolita rapa'. Lolita rapa' toi mpotoa' tauna to mpo'uli' hira' -wadi to monoa', pai' -ra mporuge' doo.

¹⁰Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹⁰Na'uli' Yesus: "Rodua tauna hilou hi Tomi Alata'ala, lou mosampaya. To hadua to Parisi, to hadua topesingara' paja'.

¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

¹¹To Parisi toei mokore pai' mosampaya hi rala nono-na, na'uli': `Oo Alata'ala, mpo'uli' -a tarima kasi, apa' uma-a hewa tau ntani' -na-- toperampaki, to bengku' nono-ra, topobualo', ba hewa topesingara' paja' toei mai.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

¹²Aku', mopuasa' -a rongkani rala-na hamingku. Pai' hampobagiahampulu' ngkai hawe'ea pomporataa-ku kuwai' -koko Pue'.'

¹³And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

¹³"Hiaa' topesingara' paja' toei-hawo, mokore ngkawao-i-wadi, pai' uma-i daho' ngkongoa' hi langi'. Ntora mporera' hunamu-nai, pai' na'uli': `Oo Alata'ala! Poka'ahi' -a-kuwo, tauna topojeko' toi-a!'"

¹⁴I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹⁴Ngkai ree, napohudui Yesus lolita-na, na'uli': "Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: kanculii' -ra hi tomi, topesingara' paja' toe-imi to jadi' monoa' hi poncilo-na Alata'ala, bela to Parisi toei. Apa' hawe'ea to mpomolangko nono-ra, Pue' Ala mpodingkihi-ra. Pai' hawe'ea to mpakadingki' nono-ra, Pue' Ala mpomolangko-ra."

¹⁵And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

¹⁵Hangkani, ria tauna to mpokeni ana'lei-ra hi Yesus bona najama pai' nagane' -ra. Mpohilo toe we'i, moroe-ramo ana'guru-na, mpokaroe-ra to mpokeni ana' -ra toe.

¹⁶But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Aga Yesus mpokio' ana' toera pai' na'uli' mpo'uli' -raka ana'guru-na: "Pelele' moto-ra ana' tetura tumai hi Aku', neo' -ra nitagi. Apa' tauna to hewa toe-ramo to jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na.

¹⁷Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁷Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: Ane uma-koi mengkoru hi Alata'ala hewa ana', uma-koi mpai' jadi' ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' -na."

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

¹⁸Hangkani, hadua pangkeni to Yahudi mpekune' Yesus, na'uli': "Guru to lompe', napa to kana kubabehi bona mporata-a-kuwo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-nae?"

¹⁹And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

¹⁹Na'uli' Yesus: "Napa pai' nu'uli' tauna to lompe' -a? Uma ria ntani' -na to lompe', hadua Alata'ala-wadi.

²⁰Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

²⁰Nu'inca moto parenta to te'uki' hi rala Atura Pue': `Neo' mobualo', neo' mepatehi, neo' manako, neo' mosabi' boa', pai' kana tabila' tina pai' tuama-ta.'"

²¹And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

²¹Na'uli' tau toei: "Hawe'ea parenta tetu lau, kutuku' omea-mi ngkai kakedia' -ku."

²²Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²²Mpo'epe toe, na'uli' -mi Yesus: "Hanyala-pi to kana nubabehi. Pobalu' -mi hawe'ea rewa-nu pai' doi oli-na bagi-raka tokabu. Ane nubabehi hewa toe, bohe mpai' rasi' to nurata hi rala suruga. Oti toe, pai' tumai-moko mpotuku' -a."

²³And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

²³Kana'epe-na lolita tohe'e, peda' -mi nono-na, apa' mo'ua' lia-i.

²⁴And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴Nahilo-mi Yesus kapeda' nono-na. Toe pai' na'uli': "Mokoro rahi tauna to wori' rewa-ra mengkoru hi Alata'ala bona Hi'a jadi' Magau' -ra.

²⁵For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵Mojoli-pi hama'a unta ntara hi wulou' jaru ngkai tauna to mo'ua' mengkoru hi Alata'ala bona Hi'a jadi' Magau' -ra."

²⁶And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

²⁶Konce-ramo tauna to mpo'epe lolita Yesus tohe'e, ra'uli': "Ane wae-di, hema lau-damo to ma'ala mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-nae?"

²⁷And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

²⁷Na'uli' Yesus: "Ane hante pakulea' manusia' -le, uma ami' hema. Aga nakule' moto Alata'ala mpobabehi to meliu ngkai pakulea' manusia'."

²⁸Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

²⁸Ngkai ree, na'uli' Petrus: "Hiaa' kai', kipalahii-mi-kaina rewa-kai, pai' kituku' -ko."

²⁹And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

²⁹Na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -raka ana'guru-na: "Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: hema-hema to mpalahii tomi-na, tobine-na, ompi' -na, totu'a-na ba ana' -na apa' mpotuku' hawa' Alata'ala Magau' -na,

³⁰Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

³⁰tauna toe-mi to mporata wori' ngkani hiwili-na hi dunia' toi. Pai' hi eo mpeno mporata wo'o-i katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na."

³¹Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

³¹Yesus mpokio' ana'guru-na to hampulu' rodua mopahantani' pai' na'uli' -raka: "Epe-koi! Hilou-tamo tohe'i-e mpotoa' Yerusalem. Hi ria mpai' hawe'ea to ra'uki' nabi-nabi owi to mpolowa Ana' Manusia' kana madupa' hi Aku'.

³²For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

³²Ratonu-a mpai' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi. Rapopo'ore' -a, raruge', ra'uelikui,

³³And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

³³raweba', pai' -a rapatehi. Aga hi eo katolu-na, tuwu' nculii' moto-a."

³⁴And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

³⁴Aga hawe'ea to na'uli' toe, bate uma rapaha ana'guru-na. Apa' batua-na tewunii' -raka, uma ra'incai kahompoa lolita-na.

³⁵And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

³⁵Mohu' -mi Yesus hi ngata Yerikho, ria hadua tauna to wero mohura hi wiwi' ohea karapi' -rapi'.

³⁶And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

³⁶Kampo'epe-na wori' tauna liu, napekune': "Napa-die?"

³⁷And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

³⁷Ra'uli' -ki: "Yesus to Nazaret-le liu oe-e lou!"

³⁸And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁸Mpo'epe toe we'i, pekio' -nami towero toei, na'uli': "Yesus, muli Magau' Daud! Poka'ahi' -a-kuwo!"

³⁹And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹Tauna to momako' ri'ulu ngkai Yesus mpokaroe-i, ra'uli': "Ngkalino-ko!" Aga hangkedi' kanapesukui-na mekio', na'uli': "Muli Magau' Daud, poka'ahi' -a-kuwo!"

⁴⁰And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

⁴⁰Ngkai ree, mentoda' -imi Yesus pai' na'uli': "Keni tumai towero toei mai!" Rakeni mpu'u-miki. Karata-na hi ree, Yesus mpekune' -i, na'uli': "Napa to nupokono kubabehi-koko?"

⁴¹Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

⁴¹Natompoi' towero toei: "Pue', bona pehilo-a-kuwo!"

⁴²And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

⁴²Na'uli' Yesus: "Ane wae, pehilo-moko! Kupaka'uri' -ko sabana pepangala' -nu hi Aku'."

⁴³And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

⁴³Ncaliu pehilo mpu'u-imi. Ngkai ree, ntora mpotuku' Yesus-imi, pai' mpo'uli' wori' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala. Hawe'ea tauna to mpohilo kajadia' toe, mpo'une' Alata'ala-ramo.
