Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
1Na Jesus el fahk sie pupulyuk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut in akkalemye nu selos lah elos enenu in pre pacl nukewa ac tia fuhleak.
2saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
2“Oasr sie mwet nununku in sie siti srisrik su tiana sangeng sin God, ku akfulatye kutena mwet.
3A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
3Oasr pac katinmas se su muta pac in acn sac, su fahsri na mwet nununku sac ac kwafe sel elan kasrel aksuwosye lokoalok se inmasrol ac mwet se ma alein nu sel.
4He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
4Pacl na paht mwet nununku sac tiana oru kutu ma, na tok el sifacna nunku in el mu, ‘Nga finne tia sangeng sin God, ku sunakin kutena mwet,
5yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
5tusruk ke lupan lokoalok mutan se inge oru nu sik, nga ac kasrel elan eis suwohs ma el suk uh. Nga fin tia, na el ac sifil pacna fahsriyu nwe ke na nga totola na sel!’”
6The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
6Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Porongo ma mwet nununku koluk sac fahk inge.
7Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
7Na mea, ya God El ac tia oru pac nununku lal in wo nu sin mwet lal su pang nu sel ke len ac fong in suk kasru sel? Ya El ac pahtlac in kasrelos?
8I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
8Nga fahk nu suwos, El ac fah sa na in oru kasru lal nu selos. Tusruktu, ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, ya el ac konauk lulalfongi fin faclu?”
9He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
9Jesus el oayapa fahk pupulyuk se inge nu sin mwet su pangon mu elos mwet suwoswos, ac elos pilesru mwet nukewa sayalos.
10“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
10“Sie pacl ah mwet luo utyak nu in Tempul in pre. Sie selos mwet Pharisee, ac el ngia mwet eisani tax.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
11Mwet Pharisee sac tuyak ac mukena pre, ‘O God, nga kulo nu sum lah nga tia oana mwet ngia, su rapku ac oru ma sesuwos ac kosro. Nga kulo pac lah nga tia oana mwet eisani tax se ingo.
12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
12Nga lalo len luo ke wik se, ac nga sot nu sum sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa luk!’
13But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
13A mwet eisani tax sac tu oetok ah, ac el tia pacna keyak nu lucng ke el pre, a el puok iniwal ac fahk, ‘O God, pakoten nu sik, tuh nga sie mwet koluk!’”
14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
14Ac Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, mwet eisani tax sac pa God El insewowo se ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, ac tia mwet Pharisee sac. Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal fah akfulatyeyuk.”
15They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15Kutu mwet uh use tulik srisrik natulos nu yurin Jesus tuh elan filiya paol faclos. Ke mwet tumal lutlut elos liye, elos multikin nu sin mwet ah.
16Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
16A Jesus el pangon tulik uh in tuku nu yorol, ac el fahk, “Lela tulik in tuku nu yuruk, ac nikmet ikololosi, tuh Tokosrai lun God ma lalos su oana elos.
17Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
17Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, elos na su eis Tokosrai lun God oana sie tulik srisrik ac fah utyak nu we.”
18A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew el siyuk sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti wo, mea nga enenu in oru tuh nga fah usrui moul ma pahtpat?”
19Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
19Ac Jesus el siyuk sel, “Efu kom ku pangonyu wo? Wangin sie mwet wo, a God mukena.
20You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
20Kom etu ma sap uh: ‘Nik kom kosro; nik kom akmas; nik kom pisrapasr; nik kom orek loh kikiap lain mwet; sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom.’”
21He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
21Ac mwet sac topuk, “Nga nuna akos ma sap inge nukewa oe ke nga tulik me.”
22When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
22Ke Jesus el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sel, “Oasr pac ma se lula kom enenu in oru. Kukakunla ma lom nukewa ac sang mani kac an nu sin mwet sukasrup, na ac fah oasr mwe kasrup lom inkusrao; na kom fahsru fahsr tukuk.”
23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
23Tusruk ke mwet sac lohng ma inge, arulana toasrla insial, mweyen el arulana kasrup.
24Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
24Jesus el liye lah mwet sac toasrla ac el fahk, “Arulana upa nu sin mwet kasrup in ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God!
25For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25Ac fisrasr soko camel in fahsr sasla ke mutun soko nilul, liki sie mwet kasrup in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
26Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
26Na mwet ma lohng kas ma el fahk uh siyuk, “Fin ouingan, su ac ku in moul?”
27But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
27Jesus el topuk, “Ma su kofla orek sin mwet uh, God El ku in oru.”
28Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
28Na Peter el fahk, “Liye, kut filiya ma lasr nukewa ac fahsr tukum.”
29He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
29Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su filiya lohm sel, ku mutan kial, ku mwet wial, ku papa tumal ac nina kial, ku tulik natul ke sripen Tokosrai lun God,
30who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
30el ac fah eis ma yohk liki ke moul se inge, oayapa ke moul se tok uh el ac fah eis moul ma pahtpat.”
31He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
31Jesus el srela mwet singoul luo uh nu saya ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng akwoye! Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, yen se ma nukewa mwet palu elos tuh simusla ke Wen nutin Mwet ac akpwayeyuk we.
32For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
32Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, fahk kas koluk kacl, ac anel.
33They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
33Elos ac fah srunglul ac unilya, tusruktu tukun len tolu el ac fah sifil moulyak.”
34They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
34Mwet tumal lutlut elos tiana kalem ke ma inge; kalmen kas inge wikla nu selos, ac elos tia etu ma Jesus el kaskas kac uh.
35As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
35Ke Jesus el tuku apkuranyang nu Jericho, oasr mwet kun se muta sisken inkanek uh ac ngusr.
36Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
36Ke el lohng ke un mwet uh fahsr alukella el siyuk, “Mea se inge?”
37They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
37Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Jesus lun Nazareth el a fahsryak ngi.”
38He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Mwet kun sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Jesus! Wen nutin David! Pakomutuk!”
39Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
39Mwet ma fahsr meet uh mulat nu sel ac fahk elan misla. Tusruk el wowoyak yohk liki meet, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sik!”
40Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
40Ke ma inge Jesus el tui, ac sap in utuku mwet sac nu yorol. Ke el tuku apkuranyang, Jesus el siyuk sel,
41“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
41“Mea kom lungse nga in oru nu sum?” Ac el topuk, “Leum, nga ke nga in sifilpa ku in liye.”
42Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
42Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Kwal, kom in liye! Lulalfongi lom akkeyekomla.”
43Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
43In pacl sacna el ku lac in liye, ac el fahsr tukun Jesus ac sang kulo nu sin God. Ke un mwet uh liye ma inge, elos nukewa kaksakin God.
