Meriam Mir Gospels
1When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
1Ege abara mer uridili eseamulu, abele ged uiaba asorare, epe E iako bakeamulu Kaperenauma ge.
2There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
2Ege abele le, asesered netat handed, abara memeg le E nagri gim maike eumid, E abim au omare.
3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
3Ege E asoli Iesu pedali, E namarid aule giz Iudaia Iesuim damosi E bakeam abara meta ge, E lagelage idigiri gim le, abara memeg le.
4They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
4Ege uiaba tabakeauare Iesuim, epe uiaba au elele damosi, kega, Abkoreb, abele le, ma ko ikeli abara lag;
5for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
5Abelelam E au omare meriba ged, ege E ikeli keriba sunago.
6So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
6Epe Iesu bakeamulu gaire le abi kemem. Ege E maike meta ge, epe le, asesered netat handed le, E namarid abara boai Iesuim, kega, Opole, nolea abkoreb ma barot muige kara meta ge.
7That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
7Abele lu kaka dikiapore nolea abkoreb kak bakeam marim; debele no mara mer, ueakai kara memeg le adem idigiri abara gim.
8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
8Abelelam kaka nerute le E sirdam karim, kaka sirdam uader ares le: ese kaka abi detager nerute le, Ma bakeam, E bakeam; pako nerute le, Tabakeam, E tabakeam; pako kara memeg le, Ma ikeli abele lu, E ikeli.
9When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
9Ege Iesu asoli abele lu, E abi damared; E egreemalu, E uiabim detager, gaire le lakub uiaba abi irmili, Kaka uabim detager, Kaka nole umer kak nerute Isaraela le nagri au oituli mokakalam.
10And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
10Ege uader namarid, a uiaba akomed meta ge, uiaba erdali abele memeg le, E gimgim, abara gim emetu akaida.
11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
11Kebi gerger, E bakeamulu nerute uteb ge, nei atker Naina; ege uader abara kaimeg giz E uiabi kemem, pako gaire le lakub.
12As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
12Ege E maike te abele uteb ge, dasmer, uiaba bakuare nerute le emetu eumid, abara apu E netat abara uerem, abara kimiar emetu eumid: abele ged gaire le emeri abi dog.
13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
13Ege Opole abim erdali, E au omare a au nasenase abim, ege abi detager, Ma nolea ezoli.
14Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
14Ege E bakeam maike, E itut abele bao; epe, uiaba bakuare le eumid, uiaba ekue. E abi detager, Makeriam, kaka marim detager, Ma ekue.
15And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
15Epe, abele le eumid, E emeri, E mer etkalu. Epe E ikuar abara apu.
16A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
16Ege uiaba uridili au geum: ege uiaba Adim naospered, kega, Ege E ekue meribim abele perofeta, E au kale; Ade E dasmer abara ged.
17And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
17Ege abele mer abielam deraueli Iudaia uridili, pako nerute apek.
18Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
18Ege Ioane ra kaimeg giz gaire lu uridili uiabi abi etomertare.
19So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
19Epe Ioane dabgiri abara kaimeg giz neis le, ege uiabi namariklu Opoleim, kega, Nako mama le tabakeamu, nako keriba naokaili nerute le?
20When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
20Ege ui bakeamulei Iesuim, kega, Ioane Bapataiso keribim namarid marim, E detager, kega, Nako mama le tabakeam, nako keriba naokaili nerute le?
21At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
21Abele gerger gaire gim le E idigiri, pako asiasi gim, pako demoni giz; pako ikuar ueakai gaire le pone sadmer uiaba bakaerti.
22So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
22Epe Iesu uiabim detaut, kega, Ua bakeamulam, uaba etomeret Ioaneim gaire lu uaba emetu erdali, pako lu uaba emetu asoli; sadmer bakaerti, pako ibibi le emetu ekasereder, pako lepera emetu ogdirup, a grip eudgamad emetu diski asoli, uader eumid uiaba ko ekuei, a debe mer marau uiabim uader le nolea lu kak.
23Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
23E uerkab le, nolea mudi mer karim.
24After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
24Ege Ioane ra kaimeg giz ui bakeamulei, epe E marau gaire le lakub Ioaneim, Nalu lu uaba bakeauare sumez ge erdalare? nako abele mebud uag demali?
25Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
25Nalu lu uaba bakeauare erdalare? nako le am uali gebgeb? Dasmer, uader am debe uali, pako debe leuer eroare, uiaba mamoro emeri opole ra meta ge.
26What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
26Nalu lu uaba bakeauare erdalare? nako perofeta? Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, E aule perofeta giz.
27This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
27Abelelam, E pedali, abele mer detali abim, Dasmer, kaka emarid kara merkem le mara opem, E paret mara gab mara opem.
28I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
28Kaka uabim detager, Nolea perofeta osmelu koskerlam aule mokakalam Ioane Bapataiso: epe le kebile Ade ra baselaia ge, E aule abim.
29All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
29Abele ged uiaba Adim naospered abele mer uiaba emetu asoli, pako telona giz, abelelam Ioane E uiabim bapataiso, abara bapataiso.
30But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
30Epe Faresaio giz, pako ereuer gelar giz, uiaba adem Ade ra sirdam, abelelam uiaba nolea lagelag abara bapataiso.
31“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
31Ege Opole detager, Abele nosik, nako lu mokakalam kaka uiabim natomeret? nako lu uiaba koreb?
32They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
32Mokakalam kebile giz uiaba emeri zegur uteb ge, uiaba dabgiri, kega, Ege keriba sirumer uabim, a uaba nolea sererege baberkeri; ege keriba au ezoli uabim, a uaba nolea ezoli keribim.
33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
33Abelelam Ioane Bapataiso tabarki, nolea areto eroli, a nolea uaina ereli; a uaba detager, kega, E nagri demoni abi dog.
34The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
34Ege Ade ra Uerem tabarki, E eroli, a ereli; a uaba detager, kega, Dasmer, abele le E au lagelag leuer eroli, a pako uaina ereli, telona giz la le pako uit le!
35But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
35Abele le pardale, E gaire abara uerem, E debe mer abim.
36Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
36Ege nerute le, Faresaio giz, E abi detager, Meriba eroare okakis. Ege E bakeamulu Faresaio ra meta, epe E eidi, a eroli.
37When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
37Dasmer, nerute kosker abele uteb, abele kosker E uit le; ege emetu erdali E eidi eroli Faresaio ra meta, epe E tais nerute tarpor, debe laglag mitkar,
38As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
38E ekue isorge Iesu ra teter, E ezoli, ege abara ebeb babused Iesu ra teter, E idigiri abara mus, E eskos abara teter, pako desao abara gem abele lukup, debe laglag.
39When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
39Ege Faresaio le umele Iesu E mer abim, epe E dikiapore muige abara nerkep, Ese abele le E perofeta, nako E umele abele kosker, pako abara tonar, ege E abi itut: abelelam abele kosker E uit le.
40But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
40Epe Iesu abi detager, kega, Simona, kara mer marim, ege E abi detager, Ereuer le, ma detager.
41“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
41Neisi le uiaba damosi nerute le ra mani: nerute le abi damosi denari faif handed, a nerute le fifte.
42When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
42Ege uiaba nolea mani nakuar abkoreb abara mani, epe E uiabi omare, E idigiri uiabim nolea ko dikiapore bodomalam abara mani. Debele ma kari detager, Nete aule abara omare abim?
43“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
43Ege Simona mer etkalu, kega, Kaka dikiapore, abele le gaire abara mani E abi idigiri. Ege E abim detager, Mara mer barkak.
44And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
44Epe Iesu egreemalu abele kosker, ege abi detager Simona, Nako, ma umele abele kosker? Kaka balu muige mara meta, ma nolea tais ni kara teter ge: epe abele kosker abara ebeb E babused kara teter ge, E idigiri abara mus.
45You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
45Ma nolea karim eskos: epe E dali, nolea ner kak karim eskos, abele ge ditimedlu abele meta ge balu.
46You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
46Ma nolea desao kara kerem abele lukup de: epe E dali, E desao kara teter abele lukup, debe laglag.
47Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
47Abelelam, kaka detager marim, Ege gaire abara uit uridili emetu idigiri; abelelam E au omare: epe le kebile abara lu emetu idigiri, abara omare kebile.
48Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
48Ege E abi detager, abele kosker, Mara uit emetu idigiri.
49But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
49Uader uiaba eidi eroare, a uiaba dikiapore muige uiaba nerkep, Nete le dali, E idigiri uit?
50And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
50Ege E abi detager, abele kosker, Ma eded abelelam ma oituli; Ma uerkab bakeamu.
