Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
1Len onkosr meet liki Kufwen Alukela, Jesus el som nu Bethany, acn sel Lazarus, mwet se el akmoulyauk liki misa.
2So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
2Elos akoo mongo in eku se nu sel we, ac Martha el kasru in kulansap kac. Lazarus el sie selos su welul Jesus fungyang nu ke tepu uh.
3Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
3Na Mary el use sie sufa in ono na yohk molo, ma orekla ke sak keng soko pangpang nard, ac ukuiya nu ke nial Jesus, ac eela ke aunsifal. Foulin ono keng sac fohlela in lohm sac nufon.
4But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
4Judas Iscariot — sie sin mwet tumal lutlut lun Jesus, el su ac fah tukakunulak — el fahk,
5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
5“Efu ku ono soko inge tia kukakinyukla ke tolfoko ipin silver, ac itukyang nu sin mwet sukasrup uh?”
6Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
6El tia fahk ma inge mweyen el nunku ke mwet sukasrup, a mweyen el mwet mutunpo koluk se. El pa sruok pak in mani uh, ac oasr na pacl el orekmakin nu ke mwe enenu lal sifacna.
7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
7Tusruktu Jesus el fahk, “Nimet lusrongol! Lela elan esam lah ma el oru inge ma nu ke len in pukpuki luk.
8The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
8Ac oasr mwet sukasrup yuruwos pacl nukewa, a nga ac tia muta yuruwos pacl nukewa.”
9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
9Mwet puspis elos lohngak lah Jesus el oasr Bethany, na elos som nu we. Elos tia som in liyal Jesus mukena, a oayapa tuh elos in liyal Lazarus, su Jesus el akmoulyauk liki misa.
10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
10Ke ma inge mwet tol fulat elos pwapa tuh elos in oayapa unilya Lazarus,
11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
11mweyen ke sripal, mwet Jew puspis elos ngetla lukelos ac lulalfongi ke Jesus.
12The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
12Ke len se tok ah, un mwet na lulap se ma tuku nu ke Kufwen Alukela elos lohng lah Jesus el ac tuku nu Jerusalem.
13They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
13Ke ma inge elos us lesak palm ac illa som in sonol. Elos sasa ac fahk, “Hosanna! Insewowo el su tuku Inen Leum! God Elan akinsewowoye Tokosra lun Israel!”
14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
14Jesus el konauk donkey soko ac sroang muta fac, oana ke Ma Simusla fahk:
15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
15“Siti Zion, nikmet sangeng! Liye, Tokosra lom el tuku, Ac el muta fin soko donkey fusr.”
16At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
16Mwet tumal lutlut tia kalem ke ma inge in pacl sac, tusruktu ke pacl se Jesus el akmoulyeyukyak in wolana, elos fah esamak lah Ma Simusla fahkak ma inge kacl, ac elos esamak pac lah elos tuh oru ma inge nu sel.
17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
17Mwet ma tuh welul Jesus ke pacl se el pangnolma Lazarus liki inkulyuk uh ac akmoulyalak liki misa ah, elos tuh fahkak ke ma sikyak inge.
18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
18Pa inge sripa se oru un mwet uh tuku sonol — mweyen elos lohng lah el oru mwenmen se inge.
19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
19Na mwet Pharisee elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wanginna ma kut ku in oru! Ngetla liye, faclu nufon welul lac!”
20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Oasr mwet Greek inmasrlon mwet ma som nu Jerusalem in wi alu ke pacl in kufwa uh.
21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21Elos som nu yorol Philip ac fahk, “Leum se, kut kena liyal Jesus.” (Philip el mwet Bethsaida in Galilee.)
22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
22Na Philip el som fahk nu sel Andrew, ac eltal tukeni som fahk nu sin Jesus.
23But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Sun pacl fal tuh Wen nutin Mwet in eis wolana lulap.
24Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: fiten wheat se fin tia putatla nu in fohk uh ac misa, na tia ku in puseni, a ac nuna fita se na. A fin misa, na ac osweya fita pukanten.
25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
25El su seko moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su lafwekunla moul lal fin facl se inge, fah eis moul kawil.
26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
26El su lungse kulansupweyu el enenu in fahsr tukuk, tuh mwet kulansap luk fah wiyu yen nga oasr we. Ac Papa tumuk El fah akfulatyal su kulansupweyu.
27Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
27“Inge insiuk toasrlana — mea nga ac fahk? Ya nga ac fahk mu, ‘Papa, nik kom lela ao in keok se inge in putati fuk’? Tusruktu pa inge sripen tuku luk uh — tuh nga in ku in mutangla ao in keok se inge.
28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
28Papa, akkalemye wolana lun Inem!” Na pusra se kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Nga akkalemye tari wolana luk, ac nga fah sifilpa oru.”
29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
29Un mwet se ma tu in acn sac elos lohng pusra sac, ac kutu selos fahk mu pusren pulahl, a kutu mu, “Lipufan se kaskas nu sel!”
30In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
30A Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pusra sac tia kaskas ke sripuk, a ke sripowos.
31Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Inge pacl in nununkeyuk faclu. Inge leum lun faclu fah sisila.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
32Pacl se nga ac sripsripyak liki faclu, nga fah kolma mwet nukewa nu yuruk.” (
33He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33Ke el fahk ma inge el akkalemye luman misa se su el ac keok kac.)
34The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
34Un mwet sac topuk ac fahk, “Ma Sap lasr uh fahk mu Christ el ac moul ma pahtpat. Na efu ku kom fahk mu Wen nutin Mwet ac fah sripsripyak? Su Wen nutin Mwet se inge?”
35Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
35Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ac fah oasr kalem inmasrlowos ke kitin pacl na. Oru orekma lowos ke srakna oasr kalem yuruwos, tuh lohsr uh in tia tuku nu fowos. Tuh el su fahsr in lohsr el tia etu acn el fahsr nu we.
36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
36Kowos lulalfongi ke kalem ke srakna oasr yuruwos, tuh kowos fah mwet lun kalem.” Tukun Jesus el fahk ma inge, el som liki acn sac ac wikla lukelos.
37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
37El nwe orala ma usrnguk puspis ye mutalos, elos tiana lulalfongi in el,
38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38tuh kas in palu lal Isaiah fah akpwayeiyuk: “Leum, su lulalfongi pweng ma kut srumun? Leum God El akkalemye ku lal nu sin su?”
39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
39Ke ma inge elos koflana lulalfongi, mweyen Isaiah el oayapa fahk:
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
40“God El konela mutalos Ac kaliya nunak lalos, Tuh mutalos fah tia liye, Ac nunak lalos fah tia kalem Ac elos fah tia forma nu sik, God El fahk, Tuh ngan akkeyalos liki mas lalos.”
41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
41Isaiah el fahk ma inge mweyen el liye wolana lun Jesus, ac en kaskas kacl.
42Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
42In pacl sac, mwet fulat puspis sin mwet Jew lulalfongi ke Jesus Tusruktu ke sripen mwet Pharisee, elos tia sramsramkin lemtulauk, mweyen elos tia lungse in sisila elos liki iwen lolngok.
43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
43Elos lungse tuh mwet uh in kaksakunulos, liki elos in eis kaksak sin God.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
44Jesus el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “El su lulalfongiyu el tia lulalfongiyu mukena, a el oayapa lulalfongi ke El su supweyume.
45And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
45El su liyeyu, el liyal pac El su supweyume.
46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
46Nga tuku nu faclu oana kalem se, tuh elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in nga, fah tia mutana in lohsr.
47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
47Kutena mwet fin lohng kas luk ac tia akos, nga fah tia nununkal. Nga tia tuku in nununku faclu, a in molela.
48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
48El su tia eisyu ac tia eis kas luk, oasr sie su ac fah nununkal. Kas ma nga fahkak uh pa ac nununkal ke len safla!
49I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
49Mwe luti luk uh tia ma sik sifacna, a Papa su supweyume pa sapkin nu sik ma nga in fahk ac kaskaskin.
50And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”
50Nga etu lah ma El sapkin uh ma ac ase moul ma pahtpat. Ke ma inge, nga fahk oana ma Papa El fahk nu sik.”
