Meriam Mir Gospels
1He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
1Ege E uiabi detaut nerute mer babisidarie, iaueakai ner kak esorerapare, a nolea obogai;
2saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
2E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Nerute autumer le emeri nerute uteb, E nole geum Adim, pako leem:
3A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
3Abele uteb nagri kosker, emetu eumida abara kimiar; E ko bakeamulu abim gaire gerger, a abi detager, kega, Ma itimer, le nagri kara lu abi dog.
4He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
4Uader gerger umer kak asoli: a keubu ga dikiapore muige taba nerkep ge, kega, Kaka nole geum Adim, pako leem;
5yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
5A nerute, abele kosker, emetu eumida abara kimiar, E ner kak kari namosili, kaka ko nautumerare abi lu gem, iaueakai nole kari aogat kak.
6The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
6Ege Opole lut uiabi daratagerare, Ua aserare autumer le la mer.
7Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
7Ege Ade uapum abelelam gaire abara le, uiaba ner kak ereretikri gerger ge a ki ge, nako uiaba itimer uiaba lu?
8I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
8Kaka uabi detagereda, E dudum nautumerare uiaba lu. Ese Le la Uerem uatabaruk, nako E nagri le abim oituli geseb ge?
9He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
9E ge daratagerare abele mer babisidarie uiabim uader le, uiaba dikiapor oituli, a uader dituaki:
10“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
10Neisi le bakeamulei zogo meta ge esorerapare; nerute Faresaio, a nerute telona.
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.
11Faresaio no tepteb ekue, E gebgeb esorerapare abele mer, Ade, kaka marim esoao, kaka nole mokakalam uader lu gatkamer le, adud tonar, a eruam, a nole mokakalam abele telona.
12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
12Gaire sabath ge, neis gaber kaka leuer baili; kaka mari naisuere ten lu kaka erdali.
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!’
13Abele telona ekuei muriz ge, umer kak kotorem egreemalu, epe marmot ge bamu, a detager, kega, Kara Ade, ma omare kaka uit le.
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.”
14Kaka uabi detager, kega, Abele le bakeamu taba metaem, E debele, nole mokakalam nerute: abelelam E lagelag aule, le kebile; abele le E lagelag kebile, E aule.
15They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15Ege uiaba tais sursur sursur uerem, iaueakai E uiabi uaituti: ege kaimeg giz erdarare, ege uiaba daisumdarare.
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.
16Iesu de nardarare, a uiabi darabgerare, kega, Karim sursur sursur uerem taraisare, ua nolea daraisumdarare: abelelam mokakalam uader emeri Ade ra baselaia.
17Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
17Ageakar, kaka uabi detagereda, Ese nerute le nolea erpei Ade ra baselaia, E mokakalam kebile, umer kak ko bardare.
18A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Ege nerute kole lut abi itimer, kega, Ereuer debele, nalu lu kaka ikeli, iaueakai kaka nagri eded aseamur kak?
19Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
19A Iesu de abi detager, kega, Nalu ma detager kaka debele? nolea le debele, netate Ade tepteb.
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.’”
20Ege ma umele Ade ra gelar, Ma nolea adud tonar, Ma nolea ipit eumilu nerute le, Ma nolea eruam, Ma nolea bes mer, Mamoro asoli mabi abera a apuera.
21He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
21Ege E abi detager, kega, Kaka irmili gaire lu uridili kebi ueremlam.
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.”
22Ege Iesu de asoli abara mer, ege abi detager, kega, Netate lu ma nolea erdali: ma terapei mara lu uridili, ma naisuerare uader le nole lu kak, iaueakai ma nagri debe lu kotor ge: a ma tabakeam, kari narmili.
23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
23Ege E asoli abele mer, abara nerkep au asiasi; abelelam E lu giz ra apu.
24Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
24Epe Iesu abi dasmer, E detager, kega, Au beber lu giz ra apu barota Ade ra baselaia!
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.”
25Kamela norgor ko badare atketlu muige, a le lu giz ra apu etkoprida Ade ra baselaia badare.
26Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
26Uader le giz aserare abele mer, a uiaba detagerare, kega, Ese mokakalam, nete le umele eded?
27But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
27Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Abele lu le umer kak ikeli, epe Ade umele ikeli.
28Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
28Epe Peteru abi detager, kega, Dasmer, keriba dikaer gaire lu uridili, a keriba mari irmili.
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,
29Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, kega, Ese nerute le dikaer tabara meta, pako aba a apu, pako tabara le, pako tabara kosker, a omasker, Ade ra baselaialam,
30who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
30Epe E nagri gaire dordor lu peirdi, pako kerker ge niaiem, eded aseamur kak.
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.
31E ge naisare tuelf le, E uiabi daratagerare, Dasmer, mi nabakeuare Ierusalemaem, iaueakai ageakarem gaire lu uridili perofeta giz detarare abele mer abim Le la Uerem.
32For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
32Abelelam, E nakuarare uiabim gaire nogle, ui ge abi negdegarare, a abi dedkoli, a uiaba mosu ituare:
33They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
33A uiaba abi damarik, a abi ipit eumilu: a thri gerger E ko eded akaida.
34They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
34A uiaba umer kak asoli gaire lu; ege ispilu abele mer uiabim, uiaba umer kak abele mer, E uiabi daratagerare.
35As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
35Ege E maike Ieriko ge, a nerute sadamer le emeri gab ge E lu damosi:
36Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
36Ege E asor gaire le lakub bakeuare, E uiabi nautumerare, kega, Nalu abele lu?
37They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
37Ui ge abi detagerare, kega, Iesu, Nazareta le, E bakeamu.
38He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Ege E ereretikri, kega, Iesu, Dauida ra Uerem, ma kari omare.
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!”
39Ui ge, uader kekiam, a abi daisumdarare, Ma baimi: epe E au kase ereretikri, Dauida ra Uerem, ma kari omare.
40Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
40Ege Iesu ekuei, a uiabi daratagerare, kega, Karim tegardare; ege abi maiem, a abi itimer, kega,
41“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
41Nalu lu ma laglag, kaka marim akere? E abim detaut, kega, Opole, kara pone bakaerti.
42Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
42Ege Iesu de abi detager, kega, Mara pone obakaelei: mabi oatulam ma nagri eded.
43Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
43Ege abara pone bakaelei, E abi irmili, E Ade deseper: ege abele le uridili ui nardarare, epe uiaba Ade desepereda.
