Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
1Na kutu mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos tuku liki acn Jerusalem ac siyuk sin Jesus,
2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
2“Efu ku mwet tuma lutlut lom elos tia akos mwe luti ma ituku nu sesr sin mwet matu lasr oemeet me uh? Elos tiana akfalye ma oakwuki ke ouiyen aknasnasye paolos meet liki elos mongo!”
3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
3Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ac efu ku kowos tia akos ma sap lun God, a kowos fahsr na ke mwe luti lowos sifacna?
4For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
4Tuh God El fahk mu, ‘Sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom,’ ac ‘Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial ac fah anwuki.’
5But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
5A kowos luti ac fahk mu fin oasr kutena ma yurin sie mwet ma el ku in sang kasru papa tumal ku nina kial, a el fahk mu, ‘Ma se inge ma lun God,’
6he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
6na el tia enenu in sunakin papa tumal. Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos tia akos ma God El sapkin, tuh kowos in oru na mwe luti lowos sifacna.
7You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
7Kowos mwet wosounkas! Arulana pwaye ke Isaiah el tuh palye keiwos fahk mu,
8‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
8‘Mwet inge sunakinyu na ke oalulos, A insialos loes likiyu.
9They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
9Wangin sripen alu lalos nu sik, Mweyen elos luti mwet uh ke ma sap ma elos sifacna orala, oana in ma sap luk!’”
10Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.
10Na Jesus el pangonma un mwet uh nu yorol ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng, tuh in kalem suwos!
11A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
11Tia ma su utyak nu in oalin sie mwet pa akfohkfokye moul lal uh, a ma su illa liki oalul pa akfohkfokyal uh.”
12Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
12Na mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Ku kom etu lah mwet Pharisee elos toasrla ke ma kom fahk ah?”
13But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.
13Ac Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Sak nukewa su Papa tumuk inkusrao el tia yukwiya, ac fah fifyak.
14Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
14Nimet elya selos! Elos mwet kol kun; ac mwet kun se fin pwen sie pac mwet kun, eltal kewa ac putatyang nu in luf uh.”
15Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
15Na Peter el fahk nu sel, “Aketeya nu sesr kalmen kas lom nu sin mwet Pharisee uh.”
16“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
16Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos srakna oana mwet saya uh, soenna kalem?
17“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
17Ya kowos tia etu? Kutena ma su utyak nu in oalin sie mwet ac fah som nu in sial, ac illa liki manol.
18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
18A ma su illa liki oalin sie mwet, ma inge tuku liki nunak lun insial, ac ma inge pa akfohkfokye moul lun sie mwet.
19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
19Mweyen nunak koluk uh tuku liki insial me, ac kolol in orek akmas, kosro, ac oru kutepacna lumah koluk saya uh; in pusr, kikiap, ac kaskas koluk lain mwet.
20These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
20Pa inge ma su akfohkfokye sie mwet. A in tia ohlla pao meet liki mongo, oana lumah ma elos fahk kowos in oru — ma inge tia akfohkfokye moul lun mwet.”
21Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
21Jesus el fahsr liki acn sac, ac som nu in acn ma oan apkuran nu Tyre ac Sidon.
22And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
22Sie mutan Canaan su muta in acn sac tuku nu yorol, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David, nunak munas, pakoten nu sik. Oasr musen demon in acn se nutik, ac el arulana keok kac.”
23But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
23Tusruktu wanginna ma Jesus el fahk nu sel. A mwet tumal lutlut elos kwafe nu sel ac fahk, “Supwalla! El fahsr tokosr ac arulana wowon!”
24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
24Na Jesus el fahk, “Supweyukme nga nu sin sheep tuhlac sin mwet Israel mukena.”
25The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
25A mutan sac tuku ac putati nu ke nial ac fahk, “Leum, kasreyu!”
26But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
26Ac Jesus el fahk, “Tia fal in eis mongo nun tulik ac sisla nu sin kosro ngalngul.”
27“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
27Na mutan sac fahk, “Aok, pwaye Leum, tusruktu finne kosro ngalngul uh, elos kang pac kutkut in mongo ma putatla liki tepu lun leum lalos uh.”
28“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
28Ke ma inge Jesus el fahk, “Kom sie mutan su arulana yohk lulalfongi la! Enenu lom an ac fah orek nu sum oana siyuk lom an.” Na in kitin pacl ah na tulik mutan se natul ah kwela.
29Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.
29Jesus el som liki acn sac ac fahsr ut sisken lulu Galilee. El fanyak nu ke sie acn fulat ac muta nu ten.
30Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
30Un mwet puspis tuku nu yorol, ac elos us mwet ul, mwet kun, mwet sukapas, mwet tia ku in kaskas, ac mwet mas puspis saya, ac filiya yurin Jesus; ac el akkeyalosla.
31The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
31Mwet uh arulana fwefela ke elos liye mwet nikin kas elos kaskas, mwet sukapas elos kwela, mwet ul elos fahsr, ac mwet kun elos liye. Ouinge elos kaksakin God lun Israel.
32Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
32Jesus el pangonma mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Nga pakomuta mwet inge, mweyen elos wiyu len tolu lah ac inge wangin ma elos in kang. Nga tia lungse supwalosla ac tia kitalosi, mweyen elos ac ku in mulalla inkanek uh.”
33The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
33Na mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk sel, “Kut ac konauk oya mongo ma ac fal nu sin u lulap se inge in acn mwesis se inge?”
34“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
34Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Bread ekasr oasr yuruwos?” Elos fahk, “Lof itkosr, ac ik srisrik ekasr.”
35And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.
35Na Jesus el sap mwet uh in muta fin fohk uh.
36Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
36Na el eis lof itkosr ac ik uh, ac sang kulo nu sin God. El kunsalik ac sang nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, ac elos sang nu sin mwet uh.
37They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
37Mwet nukewa mongo nwe kihpi na. Na mwet tumal lutlut elos orani fotoh itkosr ke luwen mongo uh.
38A total of four thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
38Pisen mwet ma mongo uh oasr ke tausin akosr mukul, sayen mutan ac tulik.
39After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
39Na Jesus el supwalik mwet uh, ac sroang nu fin oak soko ac som nu in acn Magadan.
