Meriam Mir Gospels
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
1Abele baua ge Iesu ra kaimeg giz abim tabakeuare, kega, Nete aule kotor baselaia ge?
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
2Ege Iesu dabgiri abele kebi uerem, a abi ekueilu uiaba opem,
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
3A uiaba kega, Ageakar kaka uabi detager, Ese uaba nole depegeli a ko mokakalam kebile ise, umer kak uaba bao abele kotor baselaia ge.
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4Dasmer, ese le tababu gebgeb mokakalam abele kebi uerem ike, E aule kotor baselaia ge.
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
5Ese nerute lo egaret abele kebile mokakalam kara nei ge, E kari nagaret.
6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
6Ese nerute le dedkoli nerute uiabim kebi kale kari oituli, debele abele le didibari etatimir au baker abara pereg, a gurim batimed au muimui karem ge.
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
7Uaiai abele gesep ge gaire lu dedkoli! abelelam mena tabarki gaire lu dedkoli; epe uaiai abim le dedkoli tonar!
8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
8Ese mara tag mari nadkoli pako mara teter, debele ma isimi adem batauered; debele ma bao abele eded mara tag kebikebi nako ibibi, au adud mari batauered abele ur asam kak neis tag a neis teter.
9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
9Ese mara pone mari nadkoli, ma dekeamur adem batauered; debele ma bao abele eded a netat pone, au adud mari batauered abele ur genaim a neis pone.
10See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
10Uaba nole dedkoli nerute uiaba ike kebi kale; abelelam kaka uabi detager, Uiaba angela dali kotor ge ner kak uiaba dasmered kara Aba ra op dali kotor ge.
no verse 11 in this text
11Abelelam Le la Uerem tabarki a uerkab abele le badimirid.
12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
12Nako uaba dikiapor? ese le nagri handed mamoe, ese netat mamoe badimirid, nako nole dikaer paser ge nainete naine mamoe, a E bakeam deraimer abele netat mamoe badimirid?
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
13Ese E erdali, ageakar kaka uabi detager, E aukase sererege abele, a kebikebi abele nainete naine nole adimir kak.
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
14Mokakalam uaba Aba dali kotor ge, nole lakak nerute uiaba ike kebi kale ko abi.
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
15Ese mara le mari nadkoli, ma bakeam a abi baraditug uaba neis le tepteb: ese E mari asoli, ma emetu erpei mabara le.
16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
16Ese nole mari asoli, ma bakeam tais nerute le nako neis le, iaueakai ageakarem neis le la mer, pako neis netat le.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
17Ese E nole asoli uiaba neis le, ma abi etomeret abele ekalesia: ese E nole asoli abele ekalesia, ma abi dikiapor mokakalam kupikupi le, pako telona le.
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
18Ageakar kaka uabi daratagerare, Gaire lu uridili uaba didibare abele geseb ge, a ko didibare abele kotor ge: a gaire lu uridili ua ko detue abele geseb ge, a ko detue abele kotor ge.
19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
19Kaka uabi ko daratagerare, Ese uaba neis le abele geseb ge netate dikiapor nerute lu ko abi damsare kara Aba kotor ge, E ikeli abkoreb neis le la lag.
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
20Abelelam abele uteb etami neis le pako neis netat le kara nei ge, kaka uiabi kemem.
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
21Ege Peteru abim tabakeam, kega, Opole ae, naket kerker kara le kari nadkoli, a kaka mena abi omare? nako sefen kerker?
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
22Ege Iesu abi detager, kega, Kaka nole mari detager, Sefen kerker; epe Sefente sefen.
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23Abele tonar kotor baselaia abkoreb nerute opole, E dikiapor deraimer tabara lu gaire abara memeg le giz.
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
24E ditimed mer atager, E tegared nerute memeg le nagri abara talen ten thausan.
25Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
25E umer kak erdali lu abi bodomalam abkoreb; abara opole uiabi detager, Ais bodomalam abele le, pako abara kosker, a gaire abara omasker giz, pako abara lu uridili, iaueakai nagri lu kari bodomalam.
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
26Ege abele memeg le abim etkobeilu a esorgilu, kega, Opole ae, ma mena kari omare, kaka keubu ko bodomalam mara lu uridili.
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
27Ege abele Opole au nasenase tabara memeg le, E no namarid abara mani nole bodom kak.
28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
28Abele memeg le bakeam, E erdali nerute abara kaimeg memeg le E nagri abara handed denari; E abi erpei, a ko erpei abara pereg, a abim kega, Ma kari bodomalam kara lu mari dog.
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
29Ege abele kaimeg memeg le abim etkobei abara teter ge, a abi damos, kega, Ma kari omare, kaka keubu ko bodomalam mara lu uridili.
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
30Epe E umer kak, a ko bakeam abi taisili audubare meta ge, mena bodomalam gaire lu eseamud.
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
31Uader abara kaimeg memeg le giz erdali gaire lu E ikeli, uiaba an uekueku, uiaba bakeuare, a natomertare uiaba opole gaire lu uridili E ikeli.
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
32Abara opole abi dabgiri, a abim detager, kega, Abele adud memeg le ae, kaka mari omare, kaka no mari namarid nole bodom kak gaire kara lu mari dog:
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
33Nako ma nole omare kak mabara kaimeg memeg le, mokakalam kaka mari omare?
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
34Ege abara opole au uekueku, E abi namarid uader le abi dedkoed, mena eseamud bodomalam gaire lu uridili.
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
35Mokakalam kara Aba kotor ge E ikeli uabim abkoreb, ese uaba nole tababu omare uaba nerkep kemerkemer uaba le giz uabi dedkoeda.
