Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.
1Jesus el sifilpa luti sisken Lulu Galilee. Mwet puspis tukeni nu yorol we, ouinge el sroak nu fin soko oak ac muta fac in kof uh, ac mwet uh tu weacn uh.
2And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
2El luti ma puspis nu selos ke kas in pupulyuk, ac fahk ouinge:
3“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
3“Porongo! Tuh oasr sie mwet som in taknelik fiten wheat.
4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
4Ac ke el sisalik fita inima uh, kutu putatla nu pe inkanek uh, ac won uh tuku ac kangla.
5Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
5Kutu pac putati nu yen eoteot, yen ma srikla fohk we. Fita inge sa na in srunak mweyen fohk we suloal.
6But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
6Na ke fulen faht uh sreya elos uli, ac ke sripen oka uh tia kapla in loal pwanang sa na in masla.
7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
7Ac kutu fita uh putatla nu in fohk ma oasr okan kokul we, ac kokul uh kapak ac kupoiya, oru sacn uh tia ku in fokla.
8Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
8Tuh kutu fita uh putatla nu in fohk wo ac srunak ac kapak arulana wo, ac fokla: fokin kutu tolngoul, fokin kutu onngoul, ac fokin kutu siofok.”
9Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9Ac Jesus el fahk, “Ke ma inge, kowos porongo fin oasr srewos!”
10As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
10Ac ke Jesus el mukena muta, mwet tumal lutlut ac kutu sin mwet su lohng mwe luti lal elos tuku nu yorol ac siyuk elan akkalemye kalmen pupulyuk lal ah.
11He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
11El topuk nu selos, “Itukot nu suwos in etu ma lukma ke Tokosrai lun God. A elos su muta sayowos, elos lohng ke pusren pupulyuk mukena.
12so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
12Ouinge, in oana ma simla, ‘Elos ac liye na liye A tia akilen; Ac elos ac lohng na lohng A tia etu. Mweyen elos fin etu, elos ac ku in forla nu sin God, Na ku in nunak munas nu selos.’”
13Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
13Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Ya kowos tia kalem ke pupulyuk se inge? Na kowos ac etu fuka pupulyuk nukewa saya?
14The farmer sows the word.
14Mwet taknelik el taknelik kas lun God.
15Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
15Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putatla pe inkanek uh. Ke pacl se na elos lohng kas uh, Satan el tuku ac eisla lukelos.
16Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
16Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putatla yen eoteot uh. Ke pacl se na elos lohng kas uh, elos sa na in eis ac insewowo kac.
17But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
17Tusruktu tiana sremla wo in nunak lalos pwanang ac tiana oan paht. Ouinge ke pacl mwe lokoalok ac mwe ongoiya sikyak ke sripen kas inge, elos ac sa na in fuhleak.
18Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
18Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putati yen ma oasr okan kokul we. Elos inge pa mwet su lohng kas uh,
19but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
19tusruktu elos nunkala yohk ke moul lun faclu, ac lungse mwe kasrup, ac mwel ma puspis saya, na ma inge kupoiya kas uh, na elos tia isus fahko.
20Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
20Tusruktu, kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putati fin fohk wo uh. Elos lohng kas, ac eis, ac isus fahko: kutu pacl tolngoul, kutu pacl onngoul, ac kutu pacl siofok.”
21Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?
21Jesus el sifil tafwela ac fahk, “Ya nu oasr mwet akosak sie lam ac usak filiya ye tup uh ku ye bed uh? Ya el ac tia filiya fin sukan lam uh?
22For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
22Kutena ma su wikla ac fah ikakla lemtulauk, ac ma nukewa ma afyufi ac fah ikakelik.
23If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
23Kuwos in porongo, fin oasr srewos.”
24He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
24El oayapa fahk nu selos, “Kowos porongo akwoye ma kowos lohng uh! Tuh kutena mwe srikasrak kowos orekmakin in sang nununku mwet uh, God El ac fah orekmakin in sang nununkekowos, tusruktu ku pac in upa liki.
25For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
25Mwet su oasr ma lal, fah itukyang pac kutu nu sel; a el su wangin ma lal, finne ma srisrik ma oan yorol, ac fah itukla lukel!”
26Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
26Na Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Tokosrai lun God oana ke sie mwet el sisalik fita inima lal.
27Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
27Na el ac motul ke fong uh ac ngetnget ke len uh, ac fita uh srunak ac kapak na, tusruktu mwet sac tiana etu lah fuka tuh sikyak ouinge.
28All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
28Fohk uh sifacna oru fita uh in kapak ac isus fahko. Ma se sikyak meet uh pa srun, na fah ung mangosr tuku toko, na saflaiya fokla ung in wheat uh.
29And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
29Ke pacl se matula wheat uh, mwet sac el ac pakela ke mitmit natul uh, mweyen sun pacl in kosrani.”
30Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
30Na Jesus el fahk, “Mea kut ac luma Tokosrai lun God nu kac uh? Mwe pupulyuk fuka kut ku in sang akkalemye uh?
31It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
31Ac fah ouinge: sie mwet el eis sie fiten mustard, fita se ma srik emeet fin faclu, ac el yukwiya infohk uh.
32But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
32Na tok fita sac kapak ac yohk liki sacn nukewa. Lesak kac uh matol, pwanang won yen engyeng uh elos tuku ac oru ahng lalos olo ac muta ye lulin sak uh.”
33With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
33Ke Jesus el fahkak kas lun God nu sin mwet uh, el orekmakin kas in pupulyuk puspis pac saya oana inge. El luti nu selos fal nu ke lupan ma elos ku in kalem kac.
34He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
34El ac tia kaskas nu selos el fin tia orekmakin pupulyuk; tusruktu pacl ma el ac mukena muta yurin mwet tumal lutlut uh, el ac aketeya ma nukewa nu selos.
35When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
35Ke eku in len sacna, Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kut som nu lefahlo.”
36After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
36Ouinge elos som liki un mwet uh. Mwet tumal lutlut elos sroang nu fin oak soko ma Jesus el muta fac ah, ac elos tukeni kalot. Oasr pac oak saya welulos som.
37Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
37Tia pact na eng na upa se tuhyak ac noa uh fungulya oak uh, ac oak uh apkuran in moti.
38But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
38Jesus el motul ke kapin oak uh, ac ilung ilul se. Mwet tumal lutlut elos oaksalak ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, ya wanginna sum lah kut ac misa?”
39Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
39Jesus el tukakek ac kai eng uh, “Misla!” Ac el fahk pac nu sin noa uh, “Tui!” Na eng uh wanginla, ac arulana mihsi.
40“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
40Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut. “Efu kowos ku sangeng? Ya srakna wangin lulalfongi lowos?”
41Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
41A elos arulana sangeng ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mwet se su mwet se inge? Finne eng uh ac noa uh elos aksol pac!”
