Meriam Mir Gospels
1Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1Ege gaire le lakub tabakeuare netat uteb ge etami, ege E ditimeda uiabi marao, tabara kaimeg giz, kega, Uaba dekaer Faresaio ra lu erperida, uiaba bes.
2But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
2Abelelam nole lu ispilu, E natomertare: nole lu gumik, E natomertare.
3Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
3Ege gaire lu uridili kupkupi ge ua detautare, E detomertare datki; uader lu pe ua kebi mer lu muige uteb ge, E natomertare tumem meta.
4“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4Kaka uabi detagereda, kabara tebud, Ua nolea geum uiaba no gem ipit, ese uaeseemu, iauaekai umer kak ko ikeli nerute lu.
5But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
5Epe kaka uabi detomeret le uabi geum: Uaba abi geum, ese uaeseemu abi ua ipit, E sirdam iako batauered gena: ageakar, kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Uaba abi geum.
6“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins ? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
6Uaba nolea bodomalam faif kebi ebur giz epereda neisi asari? Ade nole nerute ebur okataprik kak abara op.
7But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
7A uaba mus uridili emetu etag, abelelam uaba nolea geum, uaba aule gaire kebi ebur.
8“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
8Kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Ese nerute le lut kara nei uanatomertare gaire le, Ade ra Uerem ko etomeret abara nei opem Ade ra angela.
9but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
9Ese nerute le kari asared le ra op uridili, E ko asared opem Ade ra angela.
10Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
10Ese nerute le adud mer Ade ra Uerem, E itikir: ese nerute le adud mer Lamar Zogo, E nolea itikir.
11When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
11Ese uaba eguatumur sunagoem, a opole, a tarim le, ua geum kak mer detautauem, nako ia detautare:
12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
12Abelegelam Lamar Zogo de uabi uaderuerare, abkoreb ia mer detautare.
13One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
13Ege nerute le kublam, abi detager, kega, Ereuer le, ma kara le detager, E uateragoa tabara sirdam lu karim.
14But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
14Ege E abi detager, kega, oe, netede kari nakuar abele sirdam uabim?
15He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
15Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Ua asesered uaba nolea geseb lu lag: abelelam nolea le eded geseb lulam.
16He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
16Ege E uiabi daratagerare, nerute mer babisdarie, kega, Nerute le abara lu abi seb ge au turum turum:
17He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
17E dikiapor, kega, Nalu lu ka akere, epe nolea pe kes kak, karbara lu aodage?
18He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
18E detager, kega, Abele lu ka ikeli: kaka adem erapei karbara saido meta, kai ko au kale akailu; kaka etami okakis karbara turum, pako gaire debe lu uridili.
19I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
19A kaka abi detager, karbara lamar, kega, Kara lamar, ege marim gaire debe lu, E ikeli abkoreb dordor urut, ueakai ma mamoro emeri gaire urut ge, a eroli, a erer, a iako sererege.
20“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
20Ege Ade de abi detager, kega, Ma paim le, mara iako lamar ki ge tais; netede ia ueais gaire mara lu ma derseri?
21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
21Mokakalam le etami gaire lu, tabara lu, a nolea lu nagri Adelam.
22He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
22Ege E uiabi daratagerare, tabara kaimeg giz, kega, Abelelam kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Uaba nole au kase dikiapor uaba eded, na leuer uaba eroare; gako uaba gem, na lu uaba ameare.
23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
23Ege eded aule leuer aroem, pako gem aule am ualilam.
24Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
24Uaba dikiapor oreua, uiaba nolea saido dikri, a nolea saido itraker; a uiaba nolea uteb kak, a nolea saido meta kak; ege Ade de uiabi darasisiare: uaba au debele ebur giz!
25Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
25Nete uabielam umele ikeli dikiapor, au kale perper abara eded netat kubita?
26If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
26Ese uaba umer kak ikeli kebi lu, nalugelam pe ua au kase dikiapor uader lu?
27Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27Uaba dikiapor dap, nako tonar omeili: uiaba nolea dorge kak, nolea erat; kaka uabi detager, Solomona nolea am uali pako debele, nolea mokakalam uader lu debele.
28But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
28Ese Ade de ikeli mokakalam sumez am uali, abele gerger omeilu, iauaekai obatauered urem; nako au am uali uaba kebi oituli?
29“Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
29Uaba nolea deraimerare, nalu ia eroare, nalu ia ereare; uaba nerkep nolea dikiapor gaire lu.
30For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
30Abelelam gaire lu uridili gaire ged geseb ge deraimerare: epe uaba Aba E umele gaire lu abkoreb uabim.
31But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
31Debele ua mamoro deraimerare tabara baselaia, ueakai keubu gaire debe lu uaba nagri.
32“Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
32Uaba nolea geum kak kebi mamoe giz; abelelam uaba Aba E lagelag uabi ikuar abele baselaia.
33Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
33Debele uaba lu bodomalam, ueakai uabi ikuar; ueakai uaba nagri debe epei, kotor lu nolea eseamur kak, nolea maike eruam le, a nolea degem aro kak.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34Abelelam abele uteb ge pe uaba lu nagri, uaba nerkep pe ko kemem.
35“Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
35Uaba dimiri uak ge, a uaba lamepa disirik;
36Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
36Debele ua ikerauem abkoreb uader le dekaili uiaba opole, E ko takomer uetpurem; iaueakai ese E tabakeam a ipit abele gab te, uiaba sobkak diski.
37Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
37Abele memeg le giz uiaba uerkab, uiaba opole E erdali uiaba ikeli abkoreb mokakalam, a mamoro derser: Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, E abara uali dimiri, a uiabi detager, Meriba ero, E bakeamu uiaba memeg le.
38They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
38Ese E tabakeamu eip ki, nako kimiar faul ereretikri, ese erdali uiaba ikeli mokakalam, uerkab uiaba memeg le giz.
39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
39Debele uaba umele abele lu, ese lu kemle E umele abele eruam le uatabaruk, E mamoro asesered, a nolea dikaer uiaba eruam tabara meta.
40Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
40Abele lu ua derser: abelelam abele gerger ua nolea akiapor kak, Ade ra Uerem tabarki.
41Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
41Ege Peteru abi detager, kega, Opole, ege ma detager keribim abele mer babisdarie, nako le uridili?
42The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
42Ege Opole detager, kega, Nete memeg le sirdamu, ege E ageakar dikiapor, ege abara opole E ikuar abele sirdam abara memeg le, E uiabi ikuar leuer abkoreb abuar ge?
43Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
43Abele memeg le E uerkab abara opole tabaruk a abi erdali, ege abara dorge mamoro ikerer.
44Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
44Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, E ikuar abele dorge E sirdam abara lu uridili.
45But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
45Ese abele memeg le E dikiapor muige taba nerkep ge, Kara opole au uapum; ege E ipit uader memeg kimiar, pako uader memeg kosker, E ero, a ere, E paimpaim;
46then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
46Abele opole tabaruk abele gerger ge abara memeg le nole arser kak, abele mog gerger E nole ardar kak, ege E au dulam, ege E tedais abara dorge okakis uader nole asor kak.
47That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
47Abele memeg le umele opole dikiapor, a nole arser kak, nole ikeli gaire lu taba akiaporlam, E au damarik;
48but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
48Ese memeg le nole umer kak, ege E ikerer uader lu abkoreb damarik, E no kebi kebi damarik. Abelelam ese le ikuar gaire lu, E ko itimer gaire lu: Ege E gaire lu E asesereder, ui ge abi detagerare, Ma tais gaire lu.
49“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
49Kai tarabarki nabataueredelu abele ur gesepem: nalu lu kaka ko lagelag ese emetu dasiriklu?
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
50Karbara bapataiso kaka bapataiso; kaka au asias mop ge bakedida!
51Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
51Nako uaba dikiapor kaka tarabarki dakuarare abele mapodan geseb ge? Kaka uabi detager, nole: epe mer bamsili:
52For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52Abelelam ditimed peirdi, faif le uiaba netat meta emeri, uiaba mer bamsili, neisi netat le neisi le mer daramesilare, a neisi le neis netat le mokakalam.
53They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
53Abib ueremei mer bamesilei, aba a uerem; apu a neur; kimiar ra apu uerem ra kosker; kosker kimiar ra apu.
54He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
54Ege E uiabi daratagerare, gaire le lakub, Ese ua erdarare baz omeili koki peik, ua ge detager, Nako, irmer; epe ageakar.
55When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
55Ese uag uami ziai peik, a ua ge detagerauem, Nako, au gerger: epe ageakar.
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
56Uaba bes le giz, ege uaba umele dikiapor tonar kotor a gesep; nalu atamelam uaba umer kak etag tonar abele urut?
57“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
57Nalu uaba nolea dikiapor barkak lu?
58For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
58Ese ma okakis bakeam nerute le, nagri abara lu mari dog, nole bodom kak, ma debe mer abim abele gab; ueakai nole mari eguatumur autmorem, le itimer mari uanakuar memeg le, ia memeg le mari uanakuar au dubar meta.
59I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny. ”
59Kaka mari detager, Ma nole ko eosmeda, kekiam mani aisuer.
