Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
1Len onkosr meet liki Kufwen Alukela, Jesus el som nu Bethany, acn sel Lazarus, mwet se el akmoulyauk liki misa.
2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
2Elos akoo mongo in eku se nu sel we, ac Martha el kasru in kulansap kac. Lazarus el sie selos su welul Jesus fungyang nu ke tepu uh.
3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
3Na Mary el use sie sufa in ono na yohk molo, ma orekla ke sak keng soko pangpang nard, ac ukuiya nu ke nial Jesus, ac eela ke aunsifal. Foulin ono keng sac fohlela in lohm sac nufon.
4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
4Judas Iscariot — sie sin mwet tumal lutlut lun Jesus, el su ac fah tukakunulak — el fahk,
5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
5“Efu ku ono soko inge tia kukakinyukla ke tolfoko ipin silver, ac itukyang nu sin mwet sukasrup uh?”
6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
6El tia fahk ma inge mweyen el nunku ke mwet sukasrup, a mweyen el mwet mutunpo koluk se. El pa sruok pak in mani uh, ac oasr na pacl el orekmakin nu ke mwe enenu lal sifacna.
7But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
7Tusruktu Jesus el fahk, “Nimet lusrongol! Lela elan esam lah ma el oru inge ma nu ke len in pukpuki luk.
8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
8Ac oasr mwet sukasrup yuruwos pacl nukewa, a nga ac tia muta yuruwos pacl nukewa.”
9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
9Mwet puspis elos lohngak lah Jesus el oasr Bethany, na elos som nu we. Elos tia som in liyal Jesus mukena, a oayapa tuh elos in liyal Lazarus, su Jesus el akmoulyauk liki misa.
10But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
10Ke ma inge mwet tol fulat elos pwapa tuh elos in oayapa unilya Lazarus,
11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
11mweyen ke sripal, mwet Jew puspis elos ngetla lukelos ac lulalfongi ke Jesus.
12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12Ke len se tok ah, un mwet na lulap se ma tuku nu ke Kufwen Alukela elos lohng lah Jesus el ac tuku nu Jerusalem.
13they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
13Ke ma inge elos us lesak palm ac illa som in sonol. Elos sasa ac fahk, “Hosanna! Insewowo el su tuku Inen Leum! God Elan akinsewowoye Tokosra lun Israel!”
14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
14Jesus el konauk donkey soko ac sroang muta fac, oana ke Ma Simusla fahk:
15“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
15“Siti Zion, nikmet sangeng! Liye, Tokosra lom el tuku, Ac el muta fin soko donkey fusr.”
16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
16Mwet tumal lutlut tia kalem ke ma inge in pacl sac, tusruktu ke pacl se Jesus el akmoulyeyukyak in wolana, elos fah esamak lah Ma Simusla fahkak ma inge kacl, ac elos esamak pac lah elos tuh oru ma inge nu sel.
17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
17Mwet ma tuh welul Jesus ke pacl se el pangnolma Lazarus liki inkulyuk uh ac akmoulyalak liki misa ah, elos tuh fahkak ke ma sikyak inge.
18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
18Pa inge sripa se oru un mwet uh tuku sonol — mweyen elos lohng lah el oru mwenmen se inge.
19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
19Na mwet Pharisee elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wanginna ma kut ku in oru! Ngetla liye, faclu nufon welul lac!”
20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Oasr mwet Greek inmasrlon mwet ma som nu Jerusalem in wi alu ke pacl in kufwa uh.
21Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21Elos som nu yorol Philip ac fahk, “Leum se, kut kena liyal Jesus.” (Philip el mwet Bethsaida in Galilee.)
22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
22Na Philip el som fahk nu sel Andrew, ac eltal tukeni som fahk nu sin Jesus.
23Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Sun pacl fal tuh Wen nutin Mwet in eis wolana lulap.
24Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: fiten wheat se fin tia putatla nu in fohk uh ac misa, na tia ku in puseni, a ac nuna fita se na. A fin misa, na ac osweya fita pukanten.
25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
25El su seko moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su lafwekunla moul lal fin facl se inge, fah eis moul kawil.
26If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
26El su lungse kulansupweyu el enenu in fahsr tukuk, tuh mwet kulansap luk fah wiyu yen nga oasr we. Ac Papa tumuk El fah akfulatyal su kulansupweyu.
27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
27“Inge insiuk toasrlana — mea nga ac fahk? Ya nga ac fahk mu, ‘Papa, nik kom lela ao in keok se inge in putati fuk’? Tusruktu pa inge sripen tuku luk uh — tuh nga in ku in mutangla ao in keok se inge.
28Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
28Papa, akkalemye wolana lun Inem!” Na pusra se kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Nga akkalemye tari wolana luk, ac nga fah sifilpa oru.”
29Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
29Un mwet se ma tu in acn sac elos lohng pusra sac, ac kutu selos fahk mu pusren pulahl, a kutu mu, “Lipufan se kaskas nu sel!”
30Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
30A Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pusra sac tia kaskas ke sripuk, a ke sripowos.
31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Inge pacl in nununkeyuk faclu. Inge leum lun faclu fah sisila.
32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
32Pacl se nga ac sripsripyak liki faclu, nga fah kolma mwet nukewa nu yuruk.” (
33But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33Ke el fahk ma inge el akkalemye luman misa se su el ac keok kac.)
34The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’ ? Who is this Son of Man?”
34Un mwet sac topuk ac fahk, “Ma Sap lasr uh fahk mu Christ el ac moul ma pahtpat. Na efu ku kom fahk mu Wen nutin Mwet ac fah sripsripyak? Su Wen nutin Mwet se inge?”
35Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
35Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ac fah oasr kalem inmasrlowos ke kitin pacl na. Oru orekma lowos ke srakna oasr kalem yuruwos, tuh lohsr uh in tia tuku nu fowos. Tuh el su fahsr in lohsr el tia etu acn el fahsr nu we.
36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
36Kowos lulalfongi ke kalem ke srakna oasr yuruwos, tuh kowos fah mwet lun kalem.” Tukun Jesus el fahk ma inge, el som liki acn sac ac wikla lukelos.
37But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
37El nwe orala ma usrnguk puspis ye mutalos, elos tiana lulalfongi in el,
38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38tuh kas in palu lal Isaiah fah akpwayeiyuk: “Leum, su lulalfongi pweng ma kut srumun? Leum God El akkalemye ku lal nu sin su?”
39For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
39Ke ma inge elos koflana lulalfongi, mweyen Isaiah el oayapa fahk:
40“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
40“God El konela mutalos Ac kaliya nunak lalos, Tuh mutalos fah tia liye, Ac nunak lalos fah tia kalem Ac elos fah tia forma nu sik, God El fahk, Tuh ngan akkeyalos liki mas lalos.”
41Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
41Isaiah el fahk ma inge mweyen el liye wolana lun Jesus, ac en kaskas kacl.
42Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
42In pacl sac, mwet fulat puspis sin mwet Jew lulalfongi ke Jesus Tusruktu ke sripen mwet Pharisee, elos tia sramsramkin lemtulauk, mweyen elos tia lungse in sisila elos liki iwen lolngok.
43for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
43Elos lungse tuh mwet uh in kaksakunulos, liki elos in eis kaksak sin God.
44Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
44Jesus el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “El su lulalfongiyu el tia lulalfongiyu mukena, a el oayapa lulalfongi ke El su supweyume.
45He who sees me sees him who sent me.
45El su liyeyu, el liyal pac El su supweyume.
46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
46Nga tuku nu faclu oana kalem se, tuh elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in nga, fah tia mutana in lohsr.
47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
47Kutena mwet fin lohng kas luk ac tia akos, nga fah tia nununkal. Nga tia tuku in nununku faclu, a in molela.
48He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
48El su tia eisyu ac tia eis kas luk, oasr sie su ac fah nununkal. Kas ma nga fahkak uh pa ac nununkal ke len safla!
49For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
49Mwe luti luk uh tia ma sik sifacna, a Papa su supweyume pa sapkin nu sik ma nga in fahk ac kaskaskin.
50I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
50Nga etu lah ma El sapkin uh ma ac ase moul ma pahtpat. Ke ma inge, nga fahk oana ma Papa El fahk nu sik.”
