ThenJesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always prayand not give up. 2 说,某城里有一个官,不惧怕神,也不尊重世人。Hesaid: 'In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor caredabout men. 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。Andthere was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, `Grant mejustice 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。'Forsome time he refused. But finally he said to himself, `Even though I don't fearGod or care about men, 5 只因这寡妇烦扰我,我就给她伸冤吧。免得她常来缠磨我。yetbecause this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, sothat she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'' 6 主说,你们听这不义之官所说的话。Andthe 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?Andwill not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him dayand 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?Itell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Sonof Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?'
