Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1Tok kutu, Jesus el kaskas nu sin un mwet uh wi mwet tumal lutlut,
2Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
2ac fahk, “Mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee pa fal in aketeya Ma Sap lal Moses uh.
3All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
3Ke ma inge kowos enenu in akos ac oru ma nukewa ma elos fahk kowos in oru uh; tusruktu, nimet kowos etai orekma lalos, mweyen elos tia oru oana ma elos fahk.
4For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
4Elos kapreni mwe utuk toasr ac upa ac filiya finpisen mwet uh, ac elos tia sang sokofanna kufinpaolos in kasrelos us ma toasr inge.
5And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
5Ma nukewa elos oru, elos oru mwet uh in liye. Ngetang liye ke elos arulana akyokye box in nein verse in Ma Simusla ma elos kapriya ke motonsrolos ac paolos! Liye pac ke arulana loes mwe yun ke pulun nuknuk lalos uh!
6And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
6Elos lungse muta ke acn wowo ke pacl in kufwa, ac ke acn ma sriyukla nu sin mwet fulat in iwen lolngok uh.
7And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
7Elos lungse mwet uh in paingulos ac srim nu selos ke nien tukeni lun mwet uh, ac lungse mwet in pangnolos ‘Mwet Luti.’
8But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
8Tia enenu in pangpang kowos ‘Mwet Luti,’ mweyen kowos nukewa mwet lili ac lulu lun sie sin sie, ac oasr Mwet Luti sefanna lowos nukewa.
9And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
9Ac kowos in tia pangon kutena mwet fin faclu ‘Papa,’ mweyen Papa sefanna tomowos su inkusrao.
10Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.
10Kowos in tia pac lela mwet uh in pangon kowos ‘Mwet Kol,’ mweyen mwet kol sefanna lowos uh pa Messiah.
11He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
11Eneneyuk tuh el su fulat emeet inmasrlowos elan mwet kulansap lowos.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12El su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal el ac fah akfulatyeyuk.
13But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.
13“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kaliya nien utyak nu in Tokosrai lun kusrao nu sin mwet uh, a kowos sifacna tia utyak nu we ku fuhlela mwet su lungse utyak in utyak! [
14Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.
14We nu suwos, kowos mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee. Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kiapu katinmas ac pusrala lohm selos, tari kowos filangkin pre loeloes lowos! Ke kowos oru ouinge ac fah arulana yohk kaiyuk nu suwos!]
15Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
15“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kalkal in meoa uh ac tupalla facl lulap in furokla moul lun sie mwet nu ke alu lun mwet Jew; ac tukun el forla kowos oru tuh elan ilyak nu in Hell ac koluk yohk liki kowos pacl luo.
16Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.
16“We nu suwos, kowos mwet kol kun! Kowos luti mwet uh ac fahk, ‘Kutena mwet su fulahk ke Tempul, el tia enenu in akfalye fulahk lal; a el fin fulahk ke gold ma oan in Tempul, na el enenu na in akfalye.’
17Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
17Kowos mwet sulonginten ac lalfon! Ma ya kac yohk uh: gold uh, ku Tempul su oru gold uh in mutal?
18And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
18Kowos oayapa luti ac fahk mu, ‘Kutena mwet su fulahk ke loang in kisa uh, el ac tia enenu in akfalye fulahk lal uh; a el fin fulahk ke mwe kisa ma oan fin loang uh, na el enenu na in akfalye.’
19Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
19Kowos arulana kun! Pia ma se ma yohk sripa uh: mwe kisa uh, ku loang se su oru tuh mwe kisa uh in mutal?
20He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
20Ke ma inge, mwet se fin fulahk ke loang uh, el fulahk ke loang uh ac ma nukewa ma oan fac,
21And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
21ac el fin fulahk ke Tempul, el fulahk kac ac oayapa ke God su muta we.
22And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
22Ac mwet se fin fulahk ke acn inkusrao, el orek fulahk ke tron lun God ac ke El su muta fac.
23Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.
23“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos sang nu sin God sie tafu singoul, finne ke mahsrik mwe akyuye mongo, oana mint, dill, ac cumin; a kowos tiana akos ma yohk sripa ke Ma Sap inge uh: moulkin nununku suwohs, pakoten, ac inse pwaye. Fal kowos in oru ma inge, ac tia pilesru ma saya uh.
24Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
24Kowos mwet kol kun! Kowos srengak ke won srisrik ngalngul ma putati nu ke ma nimowos uh, a kowos okomla camel na fon soko!
25Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
25“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos aknasnasye likin cup lowos ac ahlu lowos uh, a acn luac uh sessesla ke ma kowos eis ke inkanek in funmwet ac sulallal.
26Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
26Kom sie mwet Pharisee kun! Aknasnasyela luin cup uh meet, na acn lik uh ac fah nasnasla pac!
27Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness.
27“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos oana kulyuk ma sroalla fasrfasr luku uh, a acn loac uh sessesla ke srin mwet misa ac ke ma kulawi.
28So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28In lumah sac pacna, wona lumowos lik, a insiowos sesseslana ke wosounkas ac ke ma koluk.
29Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
29“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos oru kulyuk na wowo nu sin mwet palu, ac nawela eot ke kulyuk lun mwet ma wo moul la,
30And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
30a kowos fahk mu kowos funu oasr in pacl lun mwet matu lowos, kowos lukun tia oru ma elos tuh oru, ke elos uniya mwet palu ah.
31Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
31Ke fahk lowos inge, kowos sifacna akkalemye lah kowos ma nutin mwet akmas su tuh uniya mwet palu ah!
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
32Fin ouinge, kowos tafwelana orekma su mwet matu lowos ah tuh mutawauk ah!
33You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?
33Kowos wet sulallal ac wen nutin wet pwasin! Kowos ac kaingla fuka in tia anwuki kowos in hell?
34Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
34Ke ma inge nga fahkot nu suwos lah nga ac supwaot nu yuruwos mwet palu, mwet lalmwetmet, ac mwet luti. Kowos ac fah uniya kutu, srupusrak kutu fin sakseng, ac sringil kutu in iwen lolngok ac ukwalos liki sie siti nu ke sie pac siti.
35That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
35Ac ke ma inge, kaiyuk nu ke akmas ma orek nu sin mwet wangin mwata nukewa ac fah putati fowos, mutawauk oe ke akmas nu sel Abel, su wangin mwatal, nwe ke anwuki lal Zechariah wen natul Berechiah, su kowos akmuseya inmasrlon Tempul ac loang in kisa uh.
36Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
36Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kaiyuk nu ke akmas inge nukewa ac fah putati nu fin mwet in fwil se inge!
37Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Kom uniya mwet palu, ac tungal nu ke misa elos su God El supwalosme in fahkak kas lal nu sum! Pacl ekasr nga tuh kena sruokkomi inpouk oana ke sie won el kafisani torokrok natul ye paol, a kom tia lela!
38Behold, you house shall be left to you, desolate.
38Ke ma inge, Tempul lom uh ac fah pisinmala mweyen mwet uh ac fahsrelik liki.
39For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
39Nga fahkot nu suwos, ingela kowos fah tia sifil liyeyu nwe ke na kowos fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoyal su tuku Inen Leum.’”
