Meriam Mir Gospels
1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
1Ege nerute sabath baruk, E bakeamulu nerute kole ra meta, Faresaio le, E lagelag ero, uiaba abi deraimer.
2Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
2Dasmer, nerute le abi opem, begur gim.
3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
3Ege Iesu de uabi daratagerare, gaire Ereuer gelar giz pako Faresaio giz, kega, Nako abkoreb idigiri gim sabath ge, nako nolea?
4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
4Ege uiaba mer baomare. Ege E abi erpei, a abi idigiri, E emariklu.
5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
5Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Na le nagri asina a kau ege ekesmer auak ge, nako nole sabath ge deguar?
6And they were unable to answer these questions.
6Uiaba nole abi mer atuat kak abele lu.
7When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
7Ege E uiabi daratagerare nerute mer babisdarie uader namarida, E uiabi umele E dikiapor au lu E eidi; ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega,
8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
8Ese nerute le mari uanatager, kega, Bakeamu uetpurem, ma nole eidi au lu ge: nole nerute aule mari namarida.
9Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
9Ege emariklu le bakeamulu uabim, E mari detager, Ekemer pako abele kole: ege ma bakeamulu kebi lu sirip ge.
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
10Mokakalam mari namarida, ma kabeamu eidi kebi lu ge; iaueakai le namarid mari uanatager, kega, Tabakeamu, oe, ueakai ma bakeamu au kalu: iaueakai ma nagri zorom uiabi opem, uader eidi okakis mari dog.
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
11Abelelam, ese nerute le tababu bakai aule, E kebile; ese nerute le tababu bakai kebile, E aule.
12Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
12Ege E abi detager, le abi namarida, Ese ma derser uetpurem, pako leuer aroem, ma nolea tebudem mer tigri, pako leem mara boai, pako luglug le maike mari dog; iaueakai uiaba ko mari mer tigri, mari bodomalam.
13But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
13Ese ma derser uetpurem, ma mer tigri uiabim gaire le lu kak, pako atkurit atkurit, pako pone sadamer:
14and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
14Iaueakai ma uerkab; abelelam uiaba umer kak mari bodomalam: ia mari bodomalam keubu gerger, gaire le oituli ko obako.
15When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
15Nerute le emeri okakis eroli, ege E asoli gaire lu, epe E abi detager, kega, Uerkab abele le leuer eroli Ade ra baselaia ge.
16But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
16Ege E abi detager, kega, Nerute le de derseri au uetpur; E mer tigri gaire leem:
17When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
17Ege abele uetpur gerger baruk, E namariklu abara memeg le uiabim uader namarkare, kega, Ua tabakeuare; abelelam gaire lu uridili emetu derser.
18But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
18Epe uiaba mer batager, ui ge netate dikiaporare. Ege nerute le lut abi detager, kega, Kai sep arapeilu, abkoreb kaka nabakeamulu dasmer: debele ma kari namarik.
19Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
19Ege nerute le lut detager, kega, Kaka tais faif kau abele kaulam, kaka bakeamu, iaueakai kaka uiabi mirem: debele ma kari namarik.
20Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
20Ege nerute le detager, kega, Kaka nagri kosker, abelelam kaka umer kak bakeamulu.
21The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
21Ege abele memeg le tabakeamu, E abi detager, tabara opole, abele gaire lu. Le giz abele boai au urker, ege tabara memeg le detager, Ma dudum bakeamu mager gabem abele uteb ge, ma taraisauem gaire le nolea lu kak, pako atkurit atkurit le, pako gaire sadamer le.
22‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
22Ege memeg le lut abi detager, kega, Opole, ege emetu ge esemulu gaire lu ge ma natomeret, epe abele meta nole le kak.
23So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
23Ege abele opole de abele memeg le detager, kega, Ma bakeamulu au gabem, a asakirik, ma uiaba elele daratagerauem ko tabakeamu, iaueakai kara meta mitkar.
24For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
24Abelegelam kaka uabi detagereda, nole nerute le uiabim mer tigri, eroli kara uetpur ge.
25Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
25Ege E okakis gaire lekub ge bakeamulu: ege egreemalu, a uiabi daratagerare,
26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
26Ese nerute le karim tabakeamu, a nole derara tabara aba, a apu, a kosker, a omasker giz, a boai giz, a berbet giz, pako tabara eded, umer kak E dali kara kaimeg kar.
27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
27Ese nerute le nole tabara satauro ais, a nole kari narmili, nole abkoreb kara kaimeg kar.
28Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
28Na le lagelag baker kar ikeli? Debele emeri a dikiapor naket mani bodomalam nako abkoreb iaueakai ikeli eseemuda.
29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
29Ueakai uiaba abi neg degarare, abelelam E giz ikeli, nole aseamur kak,
30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
30Uiaba detager, kega, Abele le E ditimeda ikeli, a nole aseamur kak.
31Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
31Na opole E lagelag ares nerute opole? Debele emeri a dikiapore nako umele ares abara le ten thausan, epe nerute le tabakeamu aresem, E nagri tuenti thausan le.
32And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
32Ese umer kak ares, debele nerute le emarik, abelelam E muriz ge, E daisumuda nole ares.
33In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
33Mokakalam abele le nole abkoreb kara kaimeg, ese E nole adem gaire lu uridili.
34Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
34Sol debe lu: ese nole kurabkurab, nako uaba iako kurabem?
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35Nolea abkoreb sep ge, a nole abkoreb gaire poipi lu giz ge: epe adem bataueret. Ese le nagri grip, debele asoli.
