Pīleidzeiba par bezdīveigū tīsnesi.
1 Jys pamōceja tūs caur pīleidzeibu, ka vysod vajaga lyugtīs un napōrstōt, 2 saceidams:
Vīnā mīstā beja tīsnesis, kas ni Dīva beidōs, ni cylvāku īvārōja. 3 Tamā pat mīstā dzeivōja atraitne. Jei gōja pi jō un lyudze: Aizstōv mani muna pretinīka prīškā. 4 Jys tūmār kaidu laiku nagribēja. Bet galeigi pats sev saceja: Lai gon es ni Dīva beistūs, ni cylvāku īvāroju, 5 tūmār aizstōvēšu šū atraitni, jo jei ir uzbōzeiga; ka jei golu golā naatītu un maņ par vaigu naīsystu.
6 Klausitēs, saceja Kungs tōļōk, kū nataisneigais tīsnesis soka. 7 Vai tad Dīvs naaizstōvēs tūs izlaseitūs, kas dīnu un nakti uz Jū sauc? Vai tad jim liks gaideit? 8 Es jums soku, ka Jys tūs ōtri pajims sovā apgōdeibā. Bet vai Cylvāka Dāls atgōjis atrass vērs zemes ticeibu?
Pīleidzeiba par farizeju un muitinīku.
9 Dažim, kas sevi skaiteja par taisneigim un cytus nīvōja, Jys pasaceja nōkušū pīleidzeibu: 10 Īgōja svētneicā lyugtūs divi cylvāki: vīns farizejs un utrs muitinīks. 11 Farizejs nūstōjis sevī lyudzēs: Ak, Dīvs, es pateicu Tev, ka es naasmu taids, kai citi ļaudis: laupeitōji, mōneitōji, lauleibas lauzēji, vai ari kai šytys muitinīks. 12 Es divi reizes nedeļā īturu gavēni, nu visim sovim īnōkumim dūdu dasmytū daļu. 13 Bet muitinīks, nu tōlīnes stōvādams, naīsadrūšynōja pat ocu uz dabasim paceļt; jys syta kryutīs saceidams: Dīvs, esi maņ grēcinīkam žēleigs! 14 Es jums soku, ka šytys aizgōja uz sātu attaisnōts, bet tys nē; jo ikvīns, kas sevi augstynoj, tiks pazamynōts, kas sevi zamynoj, tiks paaugstynōts.
15 Pi Jō nese klōtu pat mozus bārnus, lai Jys pi tim pīsaskartu. Tū radzādami, mōcekli tūs bōre. 16 Bet Jezus sauce jūs saceidams: Ļaunit bārnim īt pi manis, un jim tō nalīdzit. Taidim pīdar Dīva vaļsteiba. 17 Patīši, Es jums soku: Kas Dīva vaļsteibas tai napījam, kai bārns, tys jamā naīīs.
Pīleidzeiba par bogōtnīku.
18 Kaids vērsinīks jautōja Jam saceidams: Lobais Mōceitōj, kas maņ jōdora, lai īmontōtu myužeigū dzeivōšonu?
19 Bet Jezus atbiļdēja: Kōpēc Mani sauc par lobu? Tadei nivīns nav lobs, kai vīneigi pats Dīvs. 20 Vai tu zini bausleibas: nanūkauņ, napōrkōp auleibas, nadūd napatīsas līceibas, gūdā turi sovu tāvu un mōti? 21 Tys atbiļdēja: Šytū vysu es piļdeju jau nu sovas jauneibas. 22 Tū dzērdādams, Jezus jam saceja: Vēļ vīnas lītas tev tryukst: izpōrdūd vysu, kas tev ir, izdoli nabogim, un tev byus krōjums dabasūs; tad atgōjis, ej Maņ pakaļ. 23 Šytū dzērdādams, tys ļūti nūskuma, jo jam beja daudzi monta.
24 Jezus, radzādams jū (nūskumušu), saceja: Cik gryuši ir bogōtnīkam īīt Dīva vaļsteibā! 25 Vīgļōk gon ir kameļam izīt caur odotas aci, na bogōtnīkam īīt Dīva vaļsteibā.
26 Tī, kas tū dzērdēja, vaicōja: Kas tad var byut izpesteits? 27 Bet Jys atbiļdēja: Tys, kas navarams ļaudim, varams Dīvam.
Breivprōteiga nabadzeiba.
28 Tad Pīters saceja: Raug, mes asam pamatuši vysu sovu montu un ejam Tev pakaļ. 29 Jys tim atbiļdēja: Patīši, Es jums soku: Kas Dīva vaļsteibas dēļ atstōs sātu, vai dzymdynōtōjus, vai brōļus, vai sīvu, vai bārnus, 30 tys sajims daudz vairōk šamā pasaulī un myužeigū dzeivi nōkūšajā myužeibā.
K. Jezus īprīkš pasludynoj sovas cīsšonas un padora vasalu naredzeigū.
31 Tad pajēmis tūs divpadsmit pi sevis, jim saceja: Raug, mes ejam uz Jeruzalemu, un izapiļdeis vyss, kū pravīši ir rakstejuši par Cylvāka Dālu. 32 Jū nūdūs pogōnim, un Jys tiks izsmīts un apspļauts. 33 Un pēc nūšausteišonas Jū nūnōvēs, bet trešā dīnā pīsaceļs nu myrūnim.
34 Bet jī nikō nu tō nasaprota; tei volūda dēļ jim beja naskaidra, un tō, kas beja saceits, jī navarēja saprast.
35 Un nūtyka, kad Jys tyvōjōs pi Jericho, kaids oklais sēdēja ceļa molā un ubogōja. 36 Izdzērdis garum ejam ļaudis, jys vaicōja, kū tys nūzeimōtu. 37 Jam pastōsteja, ka Jezus nu Nazaretes īt garum. 38 Tad jys sōce saukt saceidams: Jezu, Davida Dāls, apsažāloj par mani. 39 Tī, kas gōja īprīkš jim, pīdraudēja, ka jys klusātu. Jys tūmār vēļ cīšōk sauce: Davida Dāls, apsažāloj par mani.
40 Jezus nūstōja un pavēlēja tū atvest pi sevis. 41 Kad jys pīgōja klōt, (Jezus) vaicōja: Kō gribi, lai Es tev dareitu? Jys atbiļdēja: Kungs, lai es palyktu redzeigs. 42 Jezus jam saceja: Esi redzeigs! Tova ticeiba tevi glōbe. 43 Un jys tyuleņ palyka redzeigs, un, slaveidams Dīvu, gōja Jam pakaļ. Ari ļaudis, kas tū redzēja, slaveja Dīvu.
A Widow and a Judge
1 Jesus told his disciples a story about how they should keep on praying and never give up:
2 In a town there was once a judge who didn't fear God or care about people. 3 In that same town there was a widow who kept going to the judge and saying, “Make sure that I get fair treatment in court.”
4 For a while the judge refused to do anything. Finally, he said to himself, “Even though I don't fear God or care about people, 5 I will help this widow because she keeps on bothering me. If I don't help her, she will wear me out.”
6 The Lord said:
Think about what that crooked judge said. 7 Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them? 8 He will surely hurry and help them. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find on this earth anyone with faith?
A Pharisee and a Tax Collector
9 Jesus told a story to some people who thought they were better than others and who looked down on everyone else:
10 Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood over by himself and prayed, “God, I thank you that I am not greedy, dishonest, and unfaithful in marriage like other people. And I am really glad that I am not like that tax collector over there. 12 I go without eating for two days a week, and I give you one tenth of all I earn.”
13 The tax collector stood off at a distance and did not think he was good enough even to look up toward heaven. He was so sorry for what he had done that he pounded his chest and prayed, “God, have pity on me! I am such a sinner.”
14 Then Jesus said, “When the two men went home, it was the tax collector and not the Pharisee who was pleasing to God. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children
(Matthew 19.13-15Mark 10.13-16)15 Some people brought their little children for Jesus to bless. But when his disciples saw them doing this, they told the people to stop bothering him. 16 So Jesus called the children over to him and said, “Let the children come to me! Don't try to stop them. People who are like these children belong to God's kingdom. 17 You will never get into God's kingdom unless you enter it like a child!”
A Rich and Important Man
(Matthew 19.16-30Mark 10.17-31)18 An important man asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to have eternal life?”
19 Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Be faithful in marriage. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not tell lies about others. Respect your father and mother.’ ”
21 He told Jesus, “I have obeyed all these commandments since I was a young man.”
22 When Jesus heard this, he said, “There is one thing you still need to do. Go and sell everything you own! Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and be my follower.” 23 When the man heard this, he was sad, because he was very rich.
24 Jesus saw how sad the man was. So he said, “It's terribly hard for rich people to get into God's kingdom! 25 In fact, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God's kingdom.”
26 When the crowd heard this, they asked, “How can anyone ever be saved?”
27 Jesus replied, “There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything.”
28 Peter said, “Remember, we left everything to be your followers!”
29 Jesus answered, “You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or wife or brothers or family or children because of God's kingdom 30 will be given much more in this life. And in the future world they will have eternal life.”
Jesus Again Tells about His Death
(Matthew 20.17-19Mark 10.32-34)31 Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said:
We are now on our way to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will happen there. 32 He will be handed over to foreigners, who will make fun of him, mistreat him, and spit on him. 33 They will beat him and kill him, but three days later he will rise to life.
34 The apostles did not understand what Jesus was talking about. They could not understand, because the meaning of what he said was hidden from them.
Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar
(Matthew 20.29-34Mark 10.46-52)35 When Jesus was coming close to Jericho, a blind man sat begging beside the road. 36 The man heard the crowd walking by and asked what was happening. 37 Some people told him that Jesus from Nazareth was passing by. 38 So the blind man shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” 39 The people who were going along with Jesus told the man to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
40 Jesus stopped and told some people to bring the blind man over to him. When the blind man was getting near, Jesus asked, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see!” he answered.
42 Jesus replied, “Look and you will see! Your eyes are healed because of your faith.” 43 At once the man could see, and he went with Jesus and started thanking God. When the crowds saw what happened, they praised God.
