Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1Tukun ma inge, Jesus el fufahsryesr in Galilee. El tuh tia lungse forfor in acn Judea, mweyen mwet fulat lun mwet Jew we kena unilya.
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2Apkuran me pacl in Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk,
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3ke ma inge mwet lel Jesus elos fahk nu sel, “Fahla liki acn inge ac som nu Judea, tuh mwet ma tuh fahsr tukum fah liye ma kom oru an.
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4Mwet se fin lungse in eteyuk el, el ac tia oru orekma lal in lukma. Ke kom oru ma inge, lela faclu nufon in etu keim!”
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5(Finne tamulel lal elos tiana lulalfongi kacl.)
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pacl luk uh soenna tuku. A funu kowos, oana sie pacl nukewa.
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7Faclu koflana srungakowos, a faclu srungayu mweyen nga kalweni in fahk lah ouiya lun faclu koluk.
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8Kowos som na nu ke kufwa an. Nga ac tia wi som ingena nu ke kufwa se inge, mweyen pacl fal luk soenna tuku.”
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9El fahk ouinge ac mutana in acn Galilee.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10Tukun mwet lel som tari nu ke kufwa ah, Jesus el som pac; tusruktu el tia som lemtulauk, a el som in lukma.
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos sokol ke kufwa ah. Elos siyuk, “El a ya?”
12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
12Oasr na mungulngul lun un mwet uh kacl. Kutu mwet uh fahk, “El mwet na wowo se,” a kutu fahk, “Mo, el aklalfonye mwet uh.”
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13Tusruktu wangin sie mwet kaskas lemtulauk kacl, mweyen elos sangeng sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew.
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14Ke sun infulwen wik in kufwa sac, Jesus el som ac mutawauk in luti in Tempul.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos arulana lut ac fahk, “Fuka tuh mwet se inge arulana yohk etu lal, a el tia mwet lutlut se?”
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16Jesus el fahk, “Ma nga luti uh tia mwe luti luk sifacna, a ma lun God, su supweyume.
17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
17Kutena mwet su kena oru ma lungse lun God, el fah etu lah mwe luti luk ma sin God me ku ma sik sifacna.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
18Sie mwet su kaskas ke ku lal sifacna el srike in akfulatyal sifacna. A el su lungse akfulatye El su supwalma, el inge pa kaskas pwaye ac wangin sutuu in el.
19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19Ya tia Moses pa asot nu suwos Ma Sap? Tusruktu tia sie suwos akos Ma Sap. Efu kowos ku srike in uniyuwi?”
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20Un mwet uh topkol ac fahk, “Su srike in unikowi an? Oasr demon se yurum!”
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21Jesus el fahk, “Nga orala sie mwenmen, ac kowos nukewa lut.
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22Moses el sap kowos in kosrala wen nutuwos (sruhk tia Moses, a papa matu tomowos pa mutawauk lumah se inge), ac ouinge kowos kosrala tulik mukul se ke len Sabbath.
23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
23Sie tulik mukul fin kosrla ke len Sabbath tuh in akfalye Ma Sap lal Moses, efu kowos ku kasrkusrak sik ke nga oru sie mwet in arulana kwela ke len Sabbath?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24Nimet nununku ke ma motowos liye, a nununku fal nu ke ma su suwohs.”
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25Kutu sin mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “Ya tia mwet se inge pa mwet fulat elos srike in uniya uh?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26Liye! El kaskas lemtulauk ye mutalos, ac wanginna ma elos fahk lainul! Ya pwaye elos etu lah el pa Christ?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27Tusruktu pacl se Christ el ac tuku, wangin sie mwet ac etu lah el tuku oya me — a kut nukewa etu acn mwet se inge tuku we me uh.”
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
28Ke Jesus el luti in Tempul, el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “Ya pwaye kowos eteyu ac etu yen nga tuku we me? Nga tia tuku ke ku luk sifacna. El su supweyume El pwayena. Kowos tia etal,
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29a nga etal, mweyen nga tuku yorol me ac El supweyume.”
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30Na elos srike in sruokilya, tusruktu wangin sie mwet filiya pao facl, mweyen pacl lal soenna tuku.
31But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
31A mwet puspis inmasrlon un mwet uh lulalfongel, ac elos fahk, “Ke pacl se Christ el tuku, ya el ac orek mwenmen pus liki na ma mwet se inge oru uh?”
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32Kutu mwet Pharisee elos lohng ke mwet uh mungulngul kacl Jesus, pwanang elos ac mwet tol fulat supwala kutu mwet soan lalos in Tempul in som sruokilya.
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33Jesus el fahk, “Nga ac fah muta yuruwos ke kitin pacl na, na nga fah som nu yurin El su supweyume.
34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34Kowos ac fah sukyu, a kowos fah tia koneyuyak, mweyen kowos koflana som nu yen nga ac muta we.”
35The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Pia acn el ac som nu we tuh kut in tia ku in konalak uh? Ya el ac som nu in facl saya, yen mwet lasr uh fahsrelik ac muta we, ac luti mwet Greek?
36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’ ?”
36El fahk mu kut ac sokol tuh kut ac tia ku in konalak, ac kut ac tia ku in som nu yen el oasr we. Mea kalmen ma el fahk uh?”
37Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
37Ke len se safla lun kufwa sac, len se ma yohk sripa oemeet, Jesus el tuyak ac fahk ke pusra lulap, “Kutena mwet su malu, lela elan tuku nu yuruk ac nim.
38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38Oana Ma Simusla fahk, ‘Kutena mwet su lulafongi keik, unon in kof in moul fah sororme liki insial.’”
39But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
39Jesus el fahk ma se inge ke Ngun su God El ac fah sang nu selos su lulalfongi. Ke pacl sac, Ngun soenna itukyang nu sin kutena mwet, mweyen Jesus el soenna utukyak nu in wolana lal.
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40Kutu sin mwet inmasrlon un mwet uh lohng ke el fahk ma se inge, ac elos fahk, “Pwayena lah mwet se inge el Mwet Palu sac!”
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41Ac kutu fahk, “El pa Christ!” A kutu pac fahk, “Christ el ac tia tuku Galilee me!
42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42Ma Simusla fahk mu Christ el ac sie sin fita natul Tokosra David, ac el ac fah isusla in Bethlehem, siti srisrik yen David el tuh muta we.”
43So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43Ouinge srisrielik inmasrlon un mwet uh ke sripen Jesus.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44Kutu selos kena sruokilya, tusruktu wangin sie mwet filiya pao facl.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45Ke mwet soan elos folokla, mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku tia usalu?”
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46Mwet soan elos topuk, “Soenna oasr mwet sramsram oana mwet sac!”
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47Mwet Pharisee siyuk selos, “Ya kowos wi pac kiapweyukla?
48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48Ya kowos na lohng mu oasr sie mwet fulat ku sie mwet Pharisee lulafongel?
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49Un mwet inge tia etu ke Ma Sap lal Moses, ke ma inge elos oasr ye selnga lun God!”
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50Sie sin mwet Pharisee su muta we pa Nicodemus, mwet se ma tuh som nu yorol Jesus meet. El fahk nu sin mwet ah,
51“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51“Fal nu ke Ma Sap lasr uh, kut tia ku in nununku sie mwet meet liki kut lohng pusracl sifacna, ac konauk lah mea el oru.”
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52Na elos fahk, “Mea, kom sie pac mwet Galilee? Riti Ma Simusla ac kom ac etu lah wangin mwet palu ku in sikyak Galilee me.” [
53Everyone went to his own house,
53Na elos nukewa folokelik nu in acn selos.
