Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1YA ayo na tiempo, anae mandaña megae na mit na linajyan taotao, asta managacha uno yan otro; ya jatutujon sumangane y disipuluña sija finenana: Adaje jamyo ni y libaduran y Fariseo sija ni y hipocresia.
2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
2Sa taya na matatampe na ti umababa; pat mananana, na ti umatungo.
3What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
3Enaomina jafa guinin sinanganmiyo gui jemjom, umajungog gui manana; ya jafa y incuentuse gui talanga gui jalom aposento, umaagangnaejon gui jilo guma.
4I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
4Ya jusangane jamyo ni y amigujo sija: Chamiyo fanmaaañao ni ayo sija y pumuno y tataotao, sa an munjayan ayo, taya jafa siña ujafatinas.
5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!
5Lao jusangane jamyo jaye inmaañagüe: Fanmaañao jamyo ni ayo y yanguin munjayan japuno, guaja ninasiñaña na uyute asta sasalaguan: Junggan, jusangañe jamyo: Fanmaañao jamyo nu güiya.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
6Ada ti mabende sinco na pajaro, pot dos na octabo? ya ni uno guiya sija mamalefañaejon gui menan Yuus?
7And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
7Lao asta y gaponulonmiyo esta manmatufong. Chamiyo fanmaaañao: sa manbaliña jamyo qui y megae pajaro.
8I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
8Ya jusangane jamyo: Jayeja y comonfesatñaejonyo gui menan y taotao sija; uquinenfesatñaejon locue ni y Lajin taotao gui menan y angjet Yuus.
9But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
9Lao ayo y pumuneyo gui menan taotao sija, siempre pune güe gui menan y angjet Yuus.
10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
10Ya jayeja y cumuentos contra y Lajin taotao, umaasie; lao y chumatfino contra Espiritu Santo, ti umaasie.
11When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
11Ya anae manmacone jamyo gui menan y sinagoga sija, yan y manmagas, yan y gaesisiña, chamiyo madadaje jaftaemano yan jafa para inepe, ni jafa para insangan;
12For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
12Sa y Espiritu Santo infanfinanagüe güije na ora jafa para insangan.
13Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
13Ya uno gui linajyan taotao ilegña nu güiya: Maestro, tayo y chelujo ya ufacaeyo ni y erensia.
14But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
14Lao ilegña nu güiya: Taotao, jaye pumoloyo gui jilomo para jues, pat para mamacae?
15And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
15Ya ilegña nu sija: Atan, ya inguesadaje jamyo ni y linagga: sa y linâlâ y taotao, ti guinin y manadan güinaja sija ni y jasagagaye.
16Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
16Ya mansinangane un parabola, ilegña: y fangualuan un taotao na rico, jumujuyong megae na quineco.
17So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
17Ya manjaso gui sumanjalomña, ilegña: Jafa jufatinas, sa taya mano nae jupolo y quinecojo.
18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
18Ya ilegña: Este bae jufatinas: bae jujala papa y lanchoco, ya jujatsa y mas dangculo; ya ayo nae jupolo todo y maiisso yan y güinajajo.
19Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
19Ya jualog ni y antijo: Ante, megae güinajamo, para megae na sacan; descansa, ya unchocho, yan unguimen, yan unmagof.
20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
20Lao si Yuus ilegña nu güiya: Taejinaso jao! pago na puenge nesesita umachule y antimo: ya para jaye ayo sija na güinaja ni unnaetnon?
21This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
21Taegüenaoja y manaetnon y güinaja para güiyaja, ya ti urico para si Yuus.
22Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
22Ya ilegña ni y disipoluña sija: Enaomina jusangane jamyo, Chamiyo madadaje pot y linâlânmiyo, jafa para incano; ni y tataotaonmiyo, jafa para innaminagago.
23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
23Sa y linâlâ mas qui y nengcano, ya y tataotao mas qui y magago.
24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
24Jaso y aga sija, na ti manmanananom, ni ufanmangoco; ni uguaja sagannengcanoñija ni lancho; ya si Yuus janachocho sija; ya cuanto mas manmauleg jamyo qui y pajaro!
25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
25Yan jaye guiya jamyo pot inadaje siña uaumenta un codo y linecaña?
26So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
26Yanguin ti siña inchegüe y mas diquique, para jafa inadadaje y pumalo?
27Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
27Jaso y lirio sija, jaftaemano mandocoñiñija! ti manmachochocho, ni ufanmanjila; ya jusangane jamyo na si Salomon contodo y minalagña, ti minagago parejo yan uno guiya sija.
28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
28Yanguin si Yuus janafanminagago y chaguan qui fangualuan ni y gaegue pago, ya agupa esta mayute guato gui jetno; ti mas magajet na inninafanminagago jamyo, O jamyo didide na jinenggue?
29And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
29Ya chamiyo umaliligao jafa para incano, ni jafa para inguimen, ni infanbuébuente gui jinasonmiyo.
30For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
30Sa todo este sija na güinaja manmaaliligao ni y nasion sija gui tano: lao y tatanmiyo jatungoja na innesesita estesija na güinaja.
31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
31Lao aligao finena y raenoña; ya todo este sija na güinaja umanafandaña para jamyo.
32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
32Chamiyo fanmaaañao, jamyo diquique na manada; sa este minagof y tatanmiyo, na infanninae ni y raeno.
33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
33Bende y güinajamo, ya unfannae. limosna; fanmamamauleg botsa ni ti ubijo, un güinaja gui langet na ti ufatta, anae ti usineda ni y saque, ni ti upotliya.
34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
34Sa manoja nae gaegue y güinajamo, ayoja nae gaegue locue y corasonmo.
35Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
35Polo ya esta madudog y senturanmiyo, ya esta masonggue y candet miyo;
36Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
36Ya infanparejo yan ayo na taotao sija y jananangga y señotñija, yanguin tumalo guato guinin y guipot umasagua; sa para yanguin mato ya manyajo, umababaye enseguidas.
37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
37Mandichoso ayo sija na tentago, yanguin mato y señot, mansineda manbebela; magajet jusangane jamyo, na ududog güe, ya unafanmatachong para ufañocho, ya ufalag y sumanmena ya usetbe sija.
38Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
38Ya yanguin ufato gui segundo na bela ya gui tetsero, ya mansineda sija taegüijeja, mandichoso ayo sija na tentago.
39But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
39Este tingo na yanguin y tata gui guima mojon jatungo jafa na ora nae ufato y saque, upulan ya ti upolo na umayulang y guimaña.
40You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
40Enaomina nafanlisto jamyo locue, sa ufato y Lajin taotao, güije na ora gui anae ti injajaso.
41“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
41Ayonae ilegña si Pedro: Señot, unsangan este na acomparasion para jame, pat para todos?
42And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
42Ya y Señot ilegña: Jaye nae ayo y mauleg yan mejnalom na mayetdomo, ni y ninamagas ni y señotña gui güinajana, para uninanae naña gui tiempoña?
43Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
43Dichoso ayo na tentago y yanguin mato y señotña, sineda na jachochogüe taegüije.
44Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
44Magajet jusangane jamyo; na uninamagas gui jilo y güinajaña, todo.
45But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
45Lao yanguin ayo na tentago y ilegña gui jalom corasonña: Y señotjo caeja mato; ya jatutujon pumanag y famalaoan na tentago, yan y lalaje; ya chumocho, yan gumimen, ya bumolacho;
46The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
46Y señot ayo na tentago, ufato güije na jaane gui anae ti jananangga, yan gui ora anae ti jatungo, ya uninasuja, ya uninafandaña y patteña yan y ti manmanjonggue.
47That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
47Ya ayo na tentago y jatungo y minalago y señotña; ya ti jalisto güe, ni jafatinas jaftaemano y minalagoña, umasaulag megae.
48But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
48Lao ayo y ti jatungo, ya jafatinas digno na umasauleg, lao didide masaulagña. Sa jayeja y megae manaiña, siempre megae uchule, ya jaye y megae catgoña, mas megae magagaoña.
49I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
49Matoyo para juyute y guafe gui jilo tano: ya jafa malagojo yanguin esta todo mañiñila?
50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
50Lao guaja tagpangeco para jumatagpange; ya jafa chachatsagajayo asta qui umacumple!
51Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
51Injajaso jamyo na matoyo para junae pas y tano? Jusangane jamyo, na aje; lao mas para inaguaguat.
52From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
52Sa desde pago sigue mona, uguaja gui un guma sinco na ti manparejo, y tres contra y dos, ya y dos contra y tres.
53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
53Y tata uaguaguat contra y lajiña, ya y laje contra y tata; ya y nana contra y jagaña, ya y jaga contra y nana; y suegra contra y yetna, ya y yetna contra y suegraña.
54Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
54Ya ilegña locue ni y taotao sija: Yanguin inlilie y mapagajes na cajulo gui sumanlichan, siempre ilelegmiyo: Mamamaela y ichan; ya magajet.
55And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
55Ya yanguin manguaefe y manglo sanjaya, ilelegmiyo: Uguaja maepe; ya ufato.
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
56Manhipocrita jamyo; intingo umegsamina y langet, yan y tano; ya jafa na ti intingo umegsamina y tiempo pago?
57And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
57Ya jafa na ni jamyo ti injisga jafa y tinas?
58Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
58Ya mientras jumanao jao yan y enemigumo para y magas, procura munaquelibre jao gui jinanaomo; na noseaja uninarastra guato gui jues, ya y jues uninentrega gui ofisiat, ya y ofisiat unpinelo gui calaboso.
59I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
59Jusangane jao: Ti unjanao juyong güije, asta qui unapase y uttimo na marabidi.
