Meriam Mir Gospels
1And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1Ege gaire le lakub tabakeuare netat uteb ge etami, ege E ditimeda uiabi marao, tabara kaimeg giz, kega, Uaba dekaer Faresaio ra lu erperida, uiaba bes.
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
2Abelelam nole lu ispilu, E natomertare: nole lu gumik, E natomertare.
3For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
3Ege gaire lu uridili kupkupi ge ua detautare, E detomertare datki; uader lu pe ua kebi mer lu muige uteb ge, E natomertare tumem meta.
4And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4Kaka uabi detagereda, kabara tebud, Ua nolea geum uiaba no gem ipit, ese uaeseemu, iauaekai umer kak ko ikeli nerute lu.
5But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
5Epe kaka uabi detomeret le uabi geum: Uaba abi geum, ese uaeseemu abi ua ipit, E sirdam iako batauered gena: ageakar, kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Uaba abi geum.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6Uaba nolea bodomalam faif kebi ebur giz epereda neisi asari? Ade nole nerute ebur okataprik kak abara op.
7Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
7A uaba mus uridili emetu etag, abelelam uaba nolea geum, uaba aule gaire kebi ebur.
8And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
8Kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Ese nerute le lut kara nei uanatomertare gaire le, Ade ra Uerem ko etomeret abara nei opem Ade ra angela.
9But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
9Ese nerute le kari asared le ra op uridili, E ko asared opem Ade ra angela.
10And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
10Ese nerute le adud mer Ade ra Uerem, E itikir: ese nerute le adud mer Lamar Zogo, E nolea itikir.
11And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
11Ese uaba eguatumur sunagoem, a opole, a tarim le, ua geum kak mer detautauem, nako ia detautare:
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
12Abelegelam Lamar Zogo de uabi uaderuerare, abkoreb ia mer detautare.
13And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
13Ege nerute le kublam, abi detager, kega, Ereuer le, ma kara le detager, E uateragoa tabara sirdam lu karim.
14But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
14Ege E abi detager, kega, oe, netede kari nakuar abele sirdam uabim?
15And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
15Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Ua asesered uaba nolea geseb lu lag: abelelam nolea le eded geseb lulam.
16And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
16Ege E uiabi daratagerare, nerute mer babisdarie, kega, Nerute le abara lu abi seb ge au turum turum:
17And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
17E dikiapor, kega, Nalu lu ka akere, epe nolea pe kes kak, karbara lu aodage?
18And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
18E detager, kega, Abele lu ka ikeli: kaka adem erapei karbara saido meta, kai ko au kale akailu; kaka etami okakis karbara turum, pako gaire debe lu uridili.
19And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
19A kaka abi detager, karbara lamar, kega, Kara lamar, ege marim gaire debe lu, E ikeli abkoreb dordor urut, ueakai ma mamoro emeri gaire urut ge, a eroli, a erer, a iako sererege.
20But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
20Ege Ade de abi detager, kega, Ma paim le, mara iako lamar ki ge tais; netede ia ueais gaire mara lu ma derseri?
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
21Mokakalam le etami gaire lu, tabara lu, a nolea lu nagri Adelam.
22And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
22Ege E uiabi daratagerare, tabara kaimeg giz, kega, Abelelam kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Uaba nole au kase dikiapor uaba eded, na leuer uaba eroare; gako uaba gem, na lu uaba ameare.
23The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
23Ege eded aule leuer aroem, pako gem aule am ualilam.
24Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
24Uaba dikiapor oreua, uiaba nolea saido dikri, a nolea saido itraker; a uiaba nolea uteb kak, a nolea saido meta kak; ege Ade de uiabi darasisiare: uaba au debele ebur giz!
25And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
25Nete uabielam umele ikeli dikiapor, au kale perper abara eded netat kubita?
26If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
26Ese uaba umer kak ikeli kebi lu, nalugelam pe ua au kase dikiapor uader lu?
27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
27Uaba dikiapor dap, nako tonar omeili: uiaba nolea dorge kak, nolea erat; kaka uabi detager, Solomona nolea am uali pako debele, nolea mokakalam uader lu debele.
28Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
28Ese Ade de ikeli mokakalam sumez am uali, abele gerger omeilu, iauaekai obatauered urem; nako au am uali uaba kebi oituli?
29And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
29Uaba nolea deraimerare, nalu ia eroare, nalu ia ereare; uaba nerkep nolea dikiapor gaire lu.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
30Abelelam gaire lu uridili gaire ged geseb ge deraimerare: epe uaba Aba E umele gaire lu abkoreb uabim.
31But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
31Debele ua mamoro deraimerare tabara baselaia, ueakai keubu gaire debe lu uaba nagri.
32Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
32Uaba nolea geum kak kebi mamoe giz; abelelam uaba Aba E lagelag uabi ikuar abele baselaia.
33Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
33Debele uaba lu bodomalam, ueakai uabi ikuar; ueakai uaba nagri debe epei, kotor lu nolea eseamur kak, nolea maike eruam le, a nolea degem aro kak.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34Abelelam abele uteb ge pe uaba lu nagri, uaba nerkep pe ko kemem.
35Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
35Uaba dimiri uak ge, a uaba lamepa disirik;
36And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
36Debele ua ikerauem abkoreb uader le dekaili uiaba opole, E ko takomer uetpurem; iaueakai ese E tabakeam a ipit abele gab te, uiaba sobkak diski.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
37Abele memeg le giz uiaba uerkab, uiaba opole E erdali uiaba ikeli abkoreb mokakalam, a mamoro derser: Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, E abara uali dimiri, a uiabi detager, Meriba ero, E bakeamu uiaba memeg le.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
38Ese E tabakeamu eip ki, nako kimiar faul ereretikri, ese erdali uiaba ikeli mokakalam, uerkab uiaba memeg le giz.
39But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
39Debele uaba umele abele lu, ese lu kemle E umele abele eruam le uatabaruk, E mamoro asesered, a nolea dikaer uiaba eruam tabara meta.
40Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
40Abele lu ua derser: abelelam abele gerger ua nolea akiapor kak, Ade ra Uerem tabarki.
41And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
41Ege Peteru abi detager, kega, Opole, ege ma detager keribim abele mer babisdarie, nako le uridili?
42And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
42Ege Opole detager, kega, Nete memeg le sirdamu, ege E ageakar dikiapor, ege abara opole E ikuar abele sirdam abara memeg le, E uiabi ikuar leuer abkoreb abuar ge?
43Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
43Abele memeg le E uerkab abara opole tabaruk a abi erdali, ege abara dorge mamoro ikerer.
44Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
44Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, E ikuar abele dorge E sirdam abara lu uridili.
45But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
45Ese abele memeg le E dikiapor muige taba nerkep ge, Kara opole au uapum; ege E ipit uader memeg kimiar, pako uader memeg kosker, E ero, a ere, E paimpaim;
46The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
46Abele opole tabaruk abele gerger ge abara memeg le nole arser kak, abele mog gerger E nole ardar kak, ege E au dulam, ege E tedais abara dorge okakis uader nole asor kak.
47And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
47Abele memeg le umele opole dikiapor, a nole arser kak, nole ikeli gaire lu taba akiaporlam, E au damarik;
48But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
48Ese memeg le nole umer kak, ege E ikerer uader lu abkoreb damarik, E no kebi kebi damarik. Abelelam ese le ikuar gaire lu, E ko itimer gaire lu: Ege E gaire lu E asesereder, ui ge abi detagerare, Ma tais gaire lu.
49I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
49Kai tarabarki nabataueredelu abele ur gesepem: nalu lu kaka ko lagelag ese emetu dasiriklu?
50And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
50Karbara bapataiso kaka bapataiso; kaka au asias mop ge bakedida!
51Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
51Nako uaba dikiapor kaka tarabarki dakuarare abele mapodan geseb ge? Kaka uabi detager, nole: epe mer bamsili:
52For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
52Abelelam ditimed peirdi, faif le uiaba netat meta emeri, uiaba mer bamsili, neisi netat le neisi le mer daramesilare, a neisi le neis netat le mokakalam.
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
53Abib ueremei mer bamesilei, aba a uerem; apu a neur; kimiar ra apu uerem ra kosker; kosker kimiar ra apu.
54And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
54Ege E uiabi daratagerare, gaire le lakub, Ese ua erdarare baz omeili koki peik, ua ge detager, Nako, irmer; epe ageakar.
55And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
55Ese uag uami ziai peik, a ua ge detagerauem, Nako, au gerger: epe ageakar.
56You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
56Uaba bes le giz, ege uaba umele dikiapor tonar kotor a gesep; nalu atamelam uaba umer kak etag tonar abele urut?
57And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
57Nalu uaba nolea dikiapor barkak lu?
58And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
58Ese ma okakis bakeam nerute le, nagri abara lu mari dog, nole bodom kak, ma debe mer abim abele gab; ueakai nole mari eguatumur autmorem, le itimer mari uanakuar memeg le, ia memeg le mari uanakuar au dubar meta.
59I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.
59Kaka mari detager, Ma nole ko eosmeda, kekiam mani aisuer.
