Meriam Mir Gospels
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1Ege Iesu detager gaire le lakub, pako abara kaimeg giz,
2Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
2Kega, Aotale giz pako Faresaio giz bakiri Mose ra bas.
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.
3Peike uaba mamor asarare a uaba ikerare lu uridili uiaba daratagerare, mamor asarare: epe uaba nole ereuerem uiaba tonar giz; abelelam uiaba no mer detaut, a umer kak ikerare abkoreb.
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.
4Abelelam uiaba didbare au lu beber uiaba dikemerik le giz uiaba tabo ge; ege uiaba umer kak uiaba kebi kei etadmir.
5And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
5Gaire uiaba dorge uridili ikerare, iaueakai le giz uiabi darasmerare: uiaba ikerare au filakteri, pako ko au sisero uiaba am uali,
6And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
6Uiaba au sererege eidi abele aule ra uteb leuer ero, pako aule ra bao sunago ge,
7And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
7Pako gaire le uiabi nasege segur uteb ge, a gaire le giz uiaba nei natkerauem, Rabi ae, Rabi ae.
8But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
8Ege uaba nole nei atker Rabi; abelelam netate uaba Ereuer le, abele Keriso idali, a uaba uridili keimer giz.
9And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
9Uaba nole nerute le geseb ge nei atker uaba aba; abelelam netate uaba Baba, penoka dali kotor ge.
10Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.
10Uaba nole nei atker ereuer le, abelelam netate uaba Ereuer le, Keriso idali.
11He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
11Epe abele le aule uabim, E uabim memeg le.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12Ese nerute le tababu babei E aule, E ekekeli; Ese nerute le E tababu gebgeb, E bataili uiabim tumge uridili.
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.
13Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba dimi abele kotor baselaia lelam; abelelam uaba umer kak barot, a uaba ko daraisumdarare uader le barota.
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.
14Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba ais eseamulu mai kosker uiaba meta, a uaba esorerapare au pereper ikerare ispilu; abele lulam Ade ra urker aule uabi tumge.
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.
15Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba deraueili gur ge pako sep ge iaueakai uaba nagri nerute le uaba esorerapare; ese uaba erpei, a uaba ikerare Gena ra le E au adud uabielam.
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.
16Uaiai uaba datkimuar sadamer le, a uaba mer, Ese le iskosi abele zogo meta nolea kar, epe le iskosi abele zogo meta ra golo, niaiem peike!
17Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
17Le giz paim ae, pako sadamer; abelelam nade aule, nako abele golo, pako abele zogo meta zogoem abele golo?
18And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
18A nerute, Ese le iskosi abele zegu lu bao, nolea kar; epe abele iskosi abele zegu lu abi tumge, niaiem peike.
19Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
19Le giz paim ae, pako sadamer; abelelam nade lu aule, nako zegu lu, nako bao ge zogoem abele zegu lu?
20He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
20Dasmer, abele le iskosi abele bao zegu lu, E iskosi gaire lu uridili abi tumge.
21And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
21Abele le iskosi abele zogo meta, E abi iskosi, pako le emeri muige abele zogo meta.
22And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
22Abele le iskosi abele kotor ge, E iskosi Ade ra bao, pako le abi dog egimulu.
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.
23Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! uaba ikuar kebi lu abele mili pako abele aneto pako abele kumina, a gaire au lu uaba ispilu abele gelarlam, abele barkak tonar, pako abele omare, pako abele oituli: abkoreb ikelare lu ike, a nole dikaer lu peike.
24Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
24Uaba datkimuar sadamer le, uaba dirimid abele lag, a mamor irusere kemerkemer abele kamela.
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.
25Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! uaba dirup abele tanelu ge ra sor pako abele kumeti, epe muige mitkar lu itike pako abele adud tonar giz.
26Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
26Mama le Faresaio sadamer, mama kekiam dirup muige abele tanelu ge pako abele kumeti, iaueakai ogo kak kemerkemer abele sor ge.
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.
27Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba mokakalam ao giz, adige au kakekake, debele le dasmer, epe muige mitkar eud le la lid, pako gaire adud lu uridili.
28So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28Mokakalam uaba, adige mokakalam barkak tonar le ise gaire le ra opem, epe muige uaba au mitkar abele bes mer pako abele tonar barbar.
29Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
29Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba emoare gaire perofeta uiaba ao, a ko deiriem uiaba ao le barkak tonar giz,
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 uaba mer kega, Ese keriba abi dog emri abele kerker keriba aba giz emeret, umer kak keriba okakis uiaba narsare perofeta giz.
31Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
31Peike abele mer uabu etomeret uabim, uaba omasker gaire le giz narsare gaire perofeta giz.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
32A uaba ko mitkar abele tonar lu uaba aba giz lam.
33You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?
33Ege uaba tabo, tabo areg ra omasker giz, nako uaba derar abele urker Genaim?
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:
34Dasmer abele lu, kaka uabi namarida perofeta giz, pako pardali le giz, pako aotale le giz; uader le uaba narsare, pako satauroem; a uader le uaba damarika uaba sunago, pako deraimerare nerute uteb a nerute uteb;
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.
35Iaueakai bakedida uabi dog gaire le giz barkak tonar uiaba mam uabielam emetu epaitered abele geseb ge, ditimedelu Abela ra mam, le barkak tonar, a bakedilu Zakaria ra mam, abele Barakaio ra uerem, uaba ipiti eumid abele kesi zogo meta pako zegu lu bao ge.
36Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
36Ageakar kaka uabi detager, Gaire lu uridili tabarki tumem abele nosik.
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?
37Ierusalema ae, Ierusalema ae, le ipitare gaire perofeta giz, pako baker erboro le giz emetu namarid marim! kaka au lagelag etami mara omasker giz, mokakalam faul akuadare abara omasker muige abara peo, epe uaba nole la kak!
38Behold, you house shall be left to you, desolate.
38Dasmer, uaba meta dikaertare a ko pisoger nagri.
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.
39Abelelam kaka uabi detager, Uaba umer kak kari dasmer, mena keubu uaba kari daratagerare, Uerkab le tabarki Opole ra nei.
