¹He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

¹O Jesus mai phendia lenge ek paramichi, te sikavel ke trobul sa data te rhugis tu, ai na aterdios;

²saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man.

²phenelas, "Sas andek foro iek ablakato, kai chi daralas katar O Del, ai vi chi respektisardia le manushen.

³ A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

³Ai sas ek phivli ande kudo foro; woi avelas leste, phenelas, "Ker mange kris pek manush kai rodel mange nasul."

⁴ He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,

⁴Ai but vriama chi manglia te kerel lake so mangelas, numa antunchi phendia wo ande peste, "Chi darav katar O Del, ai chi respektiv le manush.

⁵ yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”

⁵Numa ke kodia phivli dziliarel ma, kerava lake so mangel, saxke te na mai avel te dziliarel ma."

⁶The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

⁶O Devla mai phendia, "Ashunen so phendia o chorho ablakato.

⁷ Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

⁷O Del sar te na kerel vorta peske manushenge kai mangenas lestar kuriat ai kujes? Azhukerel lungo vriama te zhutil le?

⁸ I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

⁸Phenav tumenge, kerela lenge sigo kris, numa kana O Shav le Manushesko avela, arakhela pachamos pe phuv?"

⁹He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

⁹O Jesus phendia kacha paramichi pal manush kai pachanpe ande pende, ai vurhitsisardia sa le kolaver.

¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

¹⁰"Dui manush gele ande tamplo te rhuginpe; iek sas Farisi, ai o kaver sas manush kai chidelas e taksa.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹¹O Farisi ande punrhende rhugilaspe ande peste, "O Devla, naisiv tuke, ke chi sim sar le kolaver manush, kai si chor, nai chacho, kai keren kurvia, ai vi sar o manush kai chidelas e taksa.

¹² I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

¹²Postiv duvar ando kurko, dav desh anda ek shel partia."

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

¹³O manush kai chidelas e taksa, beshelas mai dur, chi tromalas te vazdel le iakha karing o cheri, numa marelaspe ande kolin, ai phendia, "O Devla te avel tuke mila anda mande kai sim bezexalo."

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

¹⁴Phenav tumenge, "Kado manush gelo peste khere iertime mai sigo ke sar o kolaver; ke kon godi vazdelape avela meklo tele; ai kodo kai mekelape tele avela vazdino."

¹⁵They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

¹⁵Andine ka Jesus le tsinorhe glaten, te thol peske vas pe lende; numa kana le disipluria dikhle, dine le trad.

¹⁶Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁶Numa O Jesus akhardia le glaten peste, "Mek te aven le glate mande, ai na aterdiaren le, ke e amperetsia le Devleski si kodolenge kai miazon sar lende.

¹⁷ Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁷Phenav tumenge o chachimos, kako kai chi primila e amperetsia le Devleski sar ek glata nashti zhala andre."

¹⁸A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

¹⁸Iek manush la Krisako phushlia le Jesusos, "Lasho Gazda, so trobul te kerav te avel ma traio kai chi mai getol pe?"

¹⁹Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.

¹⁹O Jesus phendia leske, "Sostar mothos mange lasho? Ke nai khonik lasho. O Del ferdi lasho."

²⁰ You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

²⁰Zhanes le zakonuria, "Na ker kurvia, na mudar, na chor, na xoxav, preznaisar che dades ai cha da."

²¹He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”

²¹O manush phendia, "Sa kadala zakonuria ankerdem de sar sim tsinorho."

²²When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.”

²²Kana O Jesus ashundia kodia, phendia leske, "Mai trobul te keres iek diela. Bichin sa so si tu, ai de kal chorhe, ai avela tu manjin ando rhaio; antunchi aidi pala mande."

²³But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.

²³Kana kodo manush ashundia kodia, nekezhisailo; ke defial barvalo sas.

²⁴Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁴Kana O Jesus dikhlia ke tristosailo, phendia, "Trutno kodolenge kai si le barvalimos te zhan ande amperetsia le Devleski.

²⁵ For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Ke mai vushoro te nakhel iek gemula andai iakh la suviaki, de sar iek barvalo manush te zhal ande amperetsia le Devleski.

²⁶Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁶Le manush kai ashunenas leste phende, "Apo, kon sai avela skepime?"

²⁷But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

²⁷O Jesus phendia, "Le manush anda pende nashtin, numa le Devlesa vari so sai kerdiol."

²⁸Peter said, “Look, we have left everything, and followed you.”

²⁸Antunchi o Petri phendia, "Dikh! Ame mekliam swako fielo ai liam ame pala tute." O Jesus phendia lenge,

²⁹He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God’s sake,

²⁹"Phenav tumenge o chachimos, Kon godi mekela kher, rhomni, vai phralen, dades, vai da, vai glaten pala e amperetsia le Devleski,

³⁰ who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

³⁰avela les mai but pe kadia phuv, ai ande kolaver traio kai chi mai getolpe."

³¹He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

³¹Antunchi O Jesus lia le desh u do disiplon rigate, ai phendia lenge, "Ashun, ame zhas ando Jerusalem, ai so godi sas ramome katar le profeturia pa Shav le Manushesko kerdiola.

³² For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

³²Dena les kal manush kai Nai Zhiduvuria te marena mui lestar, ai chinuina les, ai chungardena pe leste, ai marena les le bichosa, ai mudarena les,

³³ They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

³³ai o trito dies si te zhuvindil."

³⁴They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

³⁴Numa le disipluria chi haliarde so phendia lenge; ai kadala vorbi garadesas lendar, won chi haliarenas sar divinilas O Jesus.

³⁵It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

³⁵Kana O Jesus pasholas pasha Jericho, iek korho beshelas tele pasha drom, ai mangelas kristaradia:

³⁶Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

³⁶Kai ashundia le manushen sar nakhen, phushelas, "So si?"

³⁷They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

³⁷Phende leske, O Jesus anda Nazareth nakhel katsar.

³⁸He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁸Numa wo tsipisardia, phenelas, "Jesus, tu Shav le Davidosko! Av tuke mila anda mande!"

³⁹Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹Le manush kai sas anglal tsipinas pe leste te ashel, numa wo tsipilas mai zurales, "Tu Shav le Davidosko! Av tuke mila anda mande."

⁴⁰Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

⁴⁰O Jesus aterdilo, ai phendia o korho te anen leste; ai kana andine les, phushlia les, phenelas,

⁴¹ “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”

⁴¹"So manges te kerav tuke?" Wo phendia, "Devla, Phuter murhe iakha te dikhav."

⁴²Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

⁴²O Jesus phendia leske, "Antunchi dikhes! Cho pachamos sastiardian tu."

⁴³Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

⁴³Ai strazo dikhlia, ai liape pala Jesus, ai luvudilaspe ka Del; ai sa o narodo kana dikhle so kerdilia luvudinaspa ka Del.
