Meriam Mir Gospels
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
1Ege Iesu ko etomeret uader mer babisdarie uiabim, kega,
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
2Kotor baselaia abkoreb nerute opole, E derser leuer sererege tabara uerem,
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
3E namarkare tabara memeg le uiabim gaire le emetu aserare abele mer tigri, Ua tabakeuare leuer aroem; a uiaba nole lakak tabakeuare.
4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
4E ko namarkare uader abara memeg le, a mer kega, Dasmer, kaka emetu derser gaire leuer; kara kau emetu ipitare, a gaire ebur debe kemkem narsare, kaka emetu derser gaire lu uridili, ua tabakeuare leuer aroem.
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
5A uiaba baokarid, a uiaba keubu bamarkare, nerute le tabara ged, a nerute le tabara lu bodomalam;
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
6A uader le uiaba erpeirare abara memeg le, a uiaba dedkolare, pako ipit eumilu.
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
7Abele opole asoli E au urker, E uiabi namarkare gaire tabara ares le, uiaba narsare gaire le dedkolare abara memeg le, a ko digeare uiaba uteb.
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
8E uiabim detager tabara memeg le, Emetu derser leuer, a nole abkoreb uiaba le emetu mer namarid.
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
9Dasmer, uaba bakeuare gaire au gab, a gaire le uridili uaba erdali, uaba etomeret abele leuer.
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
10Ege abara memeg le tabakeuare gaire au gab, a uiaba etami uader le, adud a uader le debele; abele leuer uteb mitkar lelam, uiaba eidi leuer eroare.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
11Abele opole tabalu abele meta, E uiabi dasmer uiaba eidi leuer eroare, E erdali nerute le nole nagri am uali abkoreb leuer aro am uali;
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
12E abim detaut, Makanali ae, nalugelam ma tabakeam badare abele meta, ma nole nagri abele leuer aro am uali? Ege E nole mer kak.
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
13Abele opole abi detager tabara memeg le, Uaba didbare abara teter pako abara tag, abi ais batauered adige abele kupikup ge; nagri au ebazuer pako abele tereg ikupamaretlare.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
14Abelelam uader le no aserare, a neis neis le mamor irmilare.
15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
15Ege Faresaio giz tabakeuare, a uiaba mer atager, Nalu lu meriba abi mirem abi merlam?
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
16A uiaba namarkare abim uiaba kaimeg giz kemem pako Herodiano giz, abi kega, Ereuer le ae, keriba umele ma le ageakar, mama ereuerem Ade ra gab pako ageakar, ma nole geum nerute le: abelelam ma nole dikiapore nerute le.
17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
17Dasmer, ma keribi etomeret, Nako ma dikiapor? Abkoreb ko ikuar Kaisaraim zegu lu, a nole?
18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
18Iesu opasereret uiaba nerkep adud, a uiabi kega, Uaba bes le giz, nalugelam uaba kari mirem?
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
19Kari natomertare mani abele zegu lu. Ege uiaba abi ikuar nerute denari.
20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
20E uiabi detager, Nete ra op abele, pako abele jauali?
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
21A uiaba abi detagerare, Kaisara ra op. Ege E uiabi detager, Dasmer, Kaisara ra lu Kaisaraim ikuar; Ade ra lu Adim ikuar.
22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
22Uiaba aserare, epe uiaba au kase damereda, a uiaba abi dikaer, a adem bakeuare.
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
23Peike abele kerker Sadukaio giz abim tabakeuare, uiaba dikiaporare nole le ko eded akaid eudelam: uiaba abi itimerare,
24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
24Kega, Ereuer le ae, Mose keribi mer tigri, Ese eumilu nerute le, a nole uerem kak, abara keimer ko ispi abara kosker, iaueakai nagri kusi abi keimerlam.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
25Keribi dog emri sefen gaire uerem: a narbet uerem ispi abara kosker, E eumilu a nole uerem kak, abara keimer ko ispi abara kosker:
26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
26Mokakalam nerute keimer, mena bakedida sefen le giz.
27And last of all, the woman died.
27Abele kosker keubu eumilu.
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
28Dasmer, ese keubu gerger tabarki, nete le uiabielam ais abele kosker? abelelam uiaba kosker uridili.
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
29Ege Iesu etkalu uiabim, kega, Uaba didmirik, abelelam uaba asmer kak abele jauali zogo, pako Ade ra adigir.
30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
30Abelelam keubu gerger tabarki uiaba ko eded akaida eudlam, nole kosker aspili kak, a nole kimiar aspili kak, uiaba mokakalam Ade ra angela giz kotor ge.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
31Abele ko eded akaida eudlam, nako uaba nole atager kak Ade ra mer uabim, kega,
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32Kaka Aberahama ra Ade, a Isaaka ra Ade, a Iakobo ra Ade? Abele Ade nole eud le giz ra Ade, epe mamor eded le giz.
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
33Gaire lekub aserare, ege uiaba abi damreda abara giz merlam.
34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
34Gaire Faresaio giz aserare Sadukaio le nole abi mer kak, ege uiaba etamiare abele uteb ge.
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
35Ege nerute uiaba gelar ereuer le, abi itimer mirem kega,
36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
36Ereuer le ae, na gelar aule?
37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
37Ege Iesu abi etkalu, Ma abi omare abele Opole mara Ade mara nerkep kemerkemer, a mara lamar kemerkemer, a mara akiapor kemerkemer.
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
38Abele gelar kekiam, pako aule.
39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
39Mokakalam abara neisem, Ma abi omare abele le emri mai kesi, mokakalam ma omare mabu.
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
40Peike neis gelar giz abele gelar uridili, pako abele gaire perofeta giz.
41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
41Faresaio giz netate gedim, ege Iesu de uiabi nautumerare,
42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
42Kega, Nako uaba dikiaporare abele Keriso? nete ra uerem? Ege uiabi abi detagerare, Dauida ra Uerem.
43Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
43E uiabi detager, Dasmer, Nako Dauida nei atker Lamarlam, E abara Opole, kega,
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
44Abele Opele abi detager kara Opole, Ma emri kara tuter tag, mena kaka ikeli uader le marim kurabkurab mokakalam lu detager mara teter?
45So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
45Dasmer, ese Dauida E nei atker Opole, a nalugelam E ko nei atker abara uerem?
46No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
46Ege nole nerute le umele abim etkalu, a ditimedlu abele gerger nole nerute le ko saserim itimer abim nerute lu.
