Meriam Mir Gospels
1And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
1Ege E tabara kaimeg giz daratagerare, Nerute lu giz, E nagri memeg le, E sirdam; Ege E abi etomelu, E dedkoli abara lu.
2And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
2Ege E abi dabger, kega, Nalu lu kaka mari asoli? ma natomer abele lu ma sirdameri; abelelam kaka umer kak ma memeg le sirdam.
3And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
3Abele memeg le lut E dikiapor muige abara nerkep ge, Nalu lu ka akerer, abelelam kara opole E kari adem abele dorgelam memeg le sirdamelam? Kaka umer kak daiue; kaka sirip damosi.
4I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
4Kaka umele abele lu kaka ikeli, iaueakai ese E kari adem abele dorgelam, a uiaba ko kari nagared uiaba utebem.
5Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
5Ege E mer tigri nerute leem, a nerute leem, uiaba uridili nagri lu uiaba opole; E nerute le detager, Naket lu mari dog kara opole la?
6But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
6E abi detager, kega, Paita uakaisu netate handed. Ege E abi detager, kega, Ma erpei mabara jauali, ma dudum emeri, ma detar fifite.
7Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
7Ege E nerute le detager, Naket lu mari dog? E detaut, kega, Saito kori netate handed. Ege E abi detager, Ma erpei mara jauali, ma detar eiti.
8And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
8Ege abara opole desperer abele memeg le, abara tonar nole barkak, abelelam E au pardar: abelelam geseb le E aule dikiapor uiaba nosik tumem datki le.
9And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
9Kaka uabi detagereda, Abele mamona nole barkak tonar uabim, iaueakai uaba tebud keubu uabi tegaret uiaba meta niai karem.
10He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
10Ese le ageakar kebi lu, E ko ageakar au lu: Ese le nole barkak tonar kebi lu, E ko nolea barkak tonar au lu.
11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
11Ese uaba nole ageakar, abele mamona nole barkak tonar, nete le uabi ikuar abele lu giz kar asesered?
12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
12Ese uaba nole ageakar subele la lu, nete le uabi ikuar uaba lu?
13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
13Memeg le umer kak dorge ikeli uiabim neisi opole: abelelam E derar nerute le, E omare nerute le; epe nerute, E maike nerute le, a dituaki nerute le. Uaba umer kak Ade ra memeg le, pako mamona.
14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
14Ege Faresaio giz aserare gaire lu uridili, uiaba lu lag; a uiaba abi negneg.
15And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
15E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Uaba tonar no bes barkak le la opem; epe Ade umele dikiapore uaba nerkep: abelelam ese debe lu le la opem, E adud Ade ra opem.
16The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
16Abele gelar giz pako perofeta bakedida Ioane: ditimedelu natomertare Ade ra baselaia ge, a gaire le batumu.
17And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
17Kotor a gesep sobkak uaeseamu, Ade ra gelar giz nolea nerute mog uar uaeseamu.
18Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
18Ese nerute le dituak abara kosker, a isipi nerute, E eruam: ese nerute le isipi abele kosker, abara kimiar dituak, E eruam.
19There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
19Nerute lu giz ra apu, E ame uali golegole gegur, pako mus uali, E mamor emeri gaire gerger uridili, a debe leuer ero:
20And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
20Nerute le nole lu kak, nei Lazaro, E eidi abi gab te ge, ege E badbad:
21Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
21Ege E lagelag ero lu giz ra leuer poipi, abi laulaulam; a omai giz esomed abara bad.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
22Ege abele kerker ge, lu kak le eumilu, ege angela giz abi ais Aberahama ra marmot ge: ege luglug le eumilu, a etkobei.
23And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
23A Hedisge, E au asiasi nagri, E egreemalu, E muriz ge erdali Aberahama pako Lazaro E emeri abara marmot ge.
24And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
24E ereretikri, kega, Kara aba, Aberahama, ma kari omare, ma namarida Lazaro akmei tabara tag pem ni ge, ko itimoar kara uerut; abelelam kaka au asiasi abele ur au be.
25And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
25Ege Aberahama de abi detager, kega, Kara uerem, ma dikiapor, gaire debe lu ma nagri mara eded, a Lazaro nagri adud lu abara eded: a peirdi E nagri sererege, a ma au asiasi.
26And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
26A nerute lu, meriba nagri auak eipu, abelelam keriba umer kak bakeamu uaba uteb, a uaba umer kak tabakeamu keriba uteb.
27And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
27Ege E abi detager, kega, Kara aba, kaka mari damosi ma abi temarida kara aba ra boai;
28That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
28Abelelam faif kara le; ueakai uiaba mamoro asoli, nolea uiaba tabakeamu abele uteb, au asiasi.
29And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
29Ege Aberahama de abi detager, kega, Nagri Mose pako perofeta uiabi dog, iaueakai uiaba asoli.
30But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
30E ge abi detager, kega, Kara aba, Aberahama, nolea: debele nerute le iako takomeda eudelam, ueakai uiaba nagri obazegeda.
31And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
31E ge abi detager, kega, Ese uiaba nole asoli Mose pako perofeta, ese nerute le ko eded akaida, a uiaba nole asor kak.
