| 18:1 |
Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease, |
| 18:2 |
ag rá: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man. |
| 18:3 |
But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, ag rá, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’ |
| 18:4 |
And he refused to do so for a long time. Ach ina dhiaidh sin, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man, |
| 18:5 |
yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, ag an gcríoch, wear me out.’ ” |
| 18:6 |
Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said. |
| 18:7 |
Mar sin ansin, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them? |
| 18:8 |
I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Ach go fírinneach, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?” |
| 18:9 |
Anois faoi dhaoine áirithe a mheasann iad féin a bheith cóir, agus daoine eile á ndímheas, d'inis sé an parabal seo freisin: |
| 18:10 |
“D’éirigh beirt fhear suas go dtí an teampall, d'fhonn guí. Fairisíneach ba ea duine acu, agus ba bhailitheoir cánach an duine eile. |
| 18:11 |
Seasamh, rinne an Fairisíneach guí ann féin ar an mbealach seo: 'Ó Dhia, Gabhaim buíochas leat nach bhfuil mé cosúil leis an gcuid eile de na fir: robálaithe, éagórach, adhaltrannach, fiú mar a roghnaíonn an bailitheoir cánach seo a bheith. |
| 18:12 |
Déanaim troscadh faoi dhó idir na Sabóidí. Tugaim deachamh as gach a bhfuil agam.’ |
| 18:13 |
Agus an bailitheoir cánach, seasamh i gcéin, ní raibh sé sásta fiú a shúile a ardú suas chun na bhflaitheas. Ach bhuail sé a bhrollach, ag rá: 'Ó Dhia, déan trócaire orm, peacach.' |
| 18:14 |
deirim libh, an ceann seo shliocht go dtí a theach údar, ach ní an ceann eile. Óir gach duine a ardaíonn é féin, beidh sé humhal; agus an té a íslíonn é féin ardófar é.” |
| 18:15 |
And they were bringing little children to him, ionas go gcuirfeadh sé i dteagmháil leo. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. |
| 18:16 |
Ach Íosa, calling them together, dúirt: “Allow the children to come to me, and do not be an obstacle to them. For of such is the kingdom of God. |
| 18:17 |
Amen, deirim libh, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a child, ní rachaidh sé isteach ann.” |
| 18:18 |
And a certain leader questioned him, ag rá: “Good teacher, what should I do to possess eternal life?” |
| 18:19 |
Ansan dubhairt Íosa leis: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. |
| 18:20 |
You know the commandments: You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Tabhair onóir do d'athair agus do do mháthair." |
| 18:21 |
Agus dúirt sé, “I have kept all these things from my youth.” |
| 18:22 |
And when Jesus heard this, ar seisean leis: “One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, agus tabhair do na boicht. And then you will have treasure in heaven. Agus teacht, tar liom." |
| 18:23 |
When he heard this, he became very sorrowful. For he was very rich. |
| 18:24 |
Ansin Íosa, seeing him brought to sorrow, dúirt: “How difficult it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God! |
| 18:25 |
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter into the kingdom of God.” |
| 18:26 |
And those who were listening to this said, “Then who is able to be saved?” |
| 18:27 |
Dúirt sé leo, “Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.” |
| 18:28 |
And Peter said, "Féach, we have left everything, and we have followed you.” |
| 18:29 |
Agus a dubhairt sé ríu: “Amen, deirim libh, there is no one who has left behind home, or parents, nó deartháireacha, or a wife, nó leanaí, for the sake of the kingdom of God, |
| 18:30 |
who will not receive much more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.” |
| 18:31 |
Then Jesus took the twelve aside, agus adubhairt sé ríu: "Féach, táimid ag dul suas go Iarúsailéim, and everything shall be completed which was written by the prophets about the Son of man. |
| 18:32 |
For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and scourged and spit upon. |
| 18:33 |
And after they have scourged him, they will kill him. Agus ar an tríú lá, he will rise again.” |
| 18:34 |
But they understood none of these things. For this word was concealed from them, and they did not understand the things that were said. |
| 18:35 |
Anois tharla sé sin, as he was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way, begging. |
| 18:36 |
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this was. |
| 18:37 |
And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. |
| 18:38 |
And he cried out, ag rá, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!” |
| 18:39 |
And those who were passing by rebuked him, so that he would be silent. Ach go fírinneach, he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me!” |
| 18:40 |
Ansin Íosa, standing still, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had drawn near, he questioned him, |
| 18:41 |
ag rá, “Cad atá uait, that I might do for you?” Mar sin a dúirt sé, “A Thiarna, that I may see.” |
| 18:42 |
Agus a dubhairt Iósa ris: “Look around. Your faith has saved you.” |
| 18:43 |
And immediately he saw. And he followed him, magnifying God. Agus na daoine go léir, when they saw this, gave praise to God. |
