SARAH
1 耶稣设一个比喻，是要人常常祷告，不可灰心。
Jesus told them a parable to show that they should always pray and not give up.
2 说：“某城里有一个官，不惧怕神，也不尊重世人。
He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.
3 那城里有个寡妇，常到他那里，说：‘我有一个对头，求你给我伸冤。’
And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 他多日不准。后来心里说：‘我虽不惧怕神，也不尊重世人，
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,
5 只因这寡妇烦扰我，我就给她伸冤吧，免得她常来缠磨我！’”
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 主说：“你们听这不义之官所说的话。
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7 神的选民昼夜呼吁他，他纵然为他们忍了多时，岂不终久给他们伸冤吗？
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
8 我告诉你们，要快快地给他们伸冤了。然而，人子来的时候，遇得见世上有信德吗？”
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
