Meriam Mir Gospels
1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
1Abele baua ge Iesu ra kaimeg giz abim tabakeuare, kega, Nete aule kotor baselaia ge?
2Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
2Ege Iesu dabgiri abele kebi uerem, a abi ekueilu uiaba opem,
3and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
3A uiaba kega, Ageakar kaka uabi detager, Ese uaba nole depegeli a ko mokakalam kebile ise, umer kak uaba bao abele kotor baselaia ge.
4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
4Dasmer, ese le tababu gebgeb mokakalam abele kebi uerem ike, E aule kotor baselaia ge.
5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
5Ese nerute lo egaret abele kebile mokakalam kara nei ge, E kari nagaret.
6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
6Ese nerute le dedkoli nerute uiabim kebi kale kari oituli, debele abele le didibari etatimir au baker abara pereg, a gurim batimed au muimui karem ge.
7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
7Uaiai abele gesep ge gaire lu dedkoli! abelelam mena tabarki gaire lu dedkoli; epe uaiai abim le dedkoli tonar!
8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
8Ese mara tag mari nadkoli pako mara teter, debele ma isimi adem batauered; debele ma bao abele eded mara tag kebikebi nako ibibi, au adud mari batauered abele ur asam kak neis tag a neis teter.
9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
9Ese mara pone mari nadkoli, ma dekeamur adem batauered; debele ma bao abele eded a netat pone, au adud mari batauered abele ur genaim a neis pone.
10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
10Uaba nole dedkoli nerute uiaba ike kebi kale; abelelam kaka uabi detager, Uiaba angela dali kotor ge ner kak uiaba dasmered kara Aba ra op dali kotor ge.
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
11Abelelam Le la Uerem tabarki a uerkab abele le badimirid.
12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
12Nako uaba dikiapor? ese le nagri handed mamoe, ese netat mamoe badimirid, nako nole dikaer paser ge nainete naine mamoe, a E bakeam deraimer abele netat mamoe badimirid?
13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
13Ese E erdali, ageakar kaka uabi detager, E aukase sererege abele, a kebikebi abele nainete naine nole adimir kak.
14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
14Mokakalam uaba Aba dali kotor ge, nole lakak nerute uiaba ike kebi kale ko abi.
15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
15Ese mara le mari nadkoli, ma bakeam a abi baraditug uaba neis le tepteb: ese E mari asoli, ma emetu erpei mabara le.
16But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
16Ese nole mari asoli, ma bakeam tais nerute le nako neis le, iaueakai ageakarem neis le la mer, pako neis netat le.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
17Ese E nole asoli uiaba neis le, ma abi etomeret abele ekalesia: ese E nole asoli abele ekalesia, ma abi dikiapor mokakalam kupikupi le, pako telona le.
18Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
18Ageakar kaka uabi daratagerare, Gaire lu uridili uaba didibare abele geseb ge, a ko didibare abele kotor ge: a gaire lu uridili ua ko detue abele geseb ge, a ko detue abele kotor ge.
19Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
19Kaka uabi ko daratagerare, Ese uaba neis le abele geseb ge netate dikiapor nerute lu ko abi damsare kara Aba kotor ge, E ikeli abkoreb neis le la lag.
20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
20Abelelam abele uteb etami neis le pako neis netat le kara nei ge, kaka uiabi kemem.
21Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
21Ege Peteru abim tabakeam, kega, Opole ae, naket kerker kara le kari nadkoli, a kaka mena abi omare? nako sefen kerker?
22Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
22Ege Iesu abi detager, kega, Kaka nole mari detager, Sefen kerker; epe Sefente sefen.
23Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23Abele tonar kotor baselaia abkoreb nerute opole, E dikiapor deraimer tabara lu gaire abara memeg le giz.
24When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
24E ditimed mer atager, E tegared nerute memeg le nagri abara talen ten thausan.
25But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
25E umer kak erdali lu abi bodomalam abkoreb; abara opole uiabi detager, Ais bodomalam abele le, pako abara kosker, a gaire abara omasker giz, pako abara lu uridili, iaueakai nagri lu kari bodomalam.
26The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
26Ege abele memeg le abim etkobeilu a esorgilu, kega, Opole ae, ma mena kari omare, kaka keubu ko bodomalam mara lu uridili.
27The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
27Ege abele Opole au nasenase tabara memeg le, E no namarid abara mani nole bodom kak.
28“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
28Abele memeg le bakeam, E erdali nerute abara kaimeg memeg le E nagri abara handed denari; E abi erpei, a ko erpei abara pereg, a abim kega, Ma kari bodomalam kara lu mari dog.
29“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
29Ege abele kaimeg memeg le abim etkobei abara teter ge, a abi damos, kega, Ma kari omare, kaka keubu ko bodomalam mara lu uridili.
30He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
30Epe E umer kak, a ko bakeam abi taisili audubare meta ge, mena bodomalam gaire lu eseamud.
31So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
31Uader abara kaimeg memeg le giz erdali gaire lu E ikeli, uiaba an uekueku, uiaba bakeuare, a natomertare uiaba opole gaire lu uridili E ikeli.
32Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
32Abara opole abi dabgiri, a abim detager, kega, Abele adud memeg le ae, kaka mari omare, kaka no mari namarid nole bodom kak gaire kara lu mari dog:
33Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
33Nako ma nole omare kak mabara kaimeg memeg le, mokakalam kaka mari omare?
34His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
34Ege abara opole au uekueku, E abi namarid uader le abi dedkoed, mena eseamud bodomalam gaire lu uridili.
35So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
35Mokakalam kara Aba kotor ge E ikeli uabim abkoreb, ese uaba nole tababu omare uaba nerkep kemerkemer uaba le giz uabi dedkoeda.
