Meriam Mir Gospels
1Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
1Ege Iesu ko etomeret uader mer babisdarie uiabim, kega,
2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
2Kotor baselaia abkoreb nerute opole, E derser leuer sererege tabara uerem,
3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
3E namarkare tabara memeg le uiabim gaire le emetu aserare abele mer tigri, Ua tabakeuare leuer aroem; a uiaba nole lakak tabakeuare.
4Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
4E ko namarkare uader abara memeg le, a mer kega, Dasmer, kaka emetu derser gaire leuer; kara kau emetu ipitare, a gaire ebur debe kemkem narsare, kaka emetu derser gaire lu uridili, ua tabakeuare leuer aroem.
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
5A uiaba baokarid, a uiaba keubu bamarkare, nerute le tabara ged, a nerute le tabara lu bodomalam;
6and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
6A uader le uiaba erpeirare abara memeg le, a uiaba dedkolare, pako ipit eumilu.
7When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
7Abele opole asoli E au urker, E uiabi namarkare gaire tabara ares le, uiaba narsare gaire le dedkolare abara memeg le, a ko digeare uiaba uteb.
8“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
8E uiabim detager tabara memeg le, Emetu derser leuer, a nole abkoreb uiaba le emetu mer namarid.
9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
9Dasmer, uaba bakeuare gaire au gab, a gaire le uridili uaba erdali, uaba etomeret abele leuer.
10Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
10Ege abara memeg le tabakeuare gaire au gab, a uiaba etami uader le, adud a uader le debele; abele leuer uteb mitkar lelam, uiaba eidi leuer eroare.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
11Abele opole tabalu abele meta, E uiabi dasmer uiaba eidi leuer eroare, E erdali nerute le nole nagri am uali abkoreb leuer aro am uali;
12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
12E abim detaut, Makanali ae, nalugelam ma tabakeam badare abele meta, ma nole nagri abele leuer aro am uali? Ege E nole mer kak.
13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
13Abele opole abi detager tabara memeg le, Uaba didbare abara teter pako abara tag, abi ais batauered adige abele kupikup ge; nagri au ebazuer pako abele tereg ikupamaretlare.
14For many are called, but few chosen.”
14Abelelam uader le no aserare, a neis neis le mamor irmilare.
15Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
15Ege Faresaio giz tabakeuare, a uiaba mer atager, Nalu lu meriba abi mirem abi merlam?
16They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
16A uiaba namarkare abim uiaba kaimeg giz kemem pako Herodiano giz, abi kega, Ereuer le ae, keriba umele ma le ageakar, mama ereuerem Ade ra gab pako ageakar, ma nole geum nerute le: abelelam ma nole dikiapore nerute le.
17Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
17Dasmer, ma keribi etomeret, Nako ma dikiapor? Abkoreb ko ikuar Kaisaraim zegu lu, a nole?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
18Iesu opasereret uiaba nerkep adud, a uiabi kega, Uaba bes le giz, nalugelam uaba kari mirem?
19Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
19Kari natomertare mani abele zegu lu. Ege uiaba abi ikuar nerute denari.
20He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
20E uiabi detager, Nete ra op abele, pako abele jauali?
21They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
21A uiaba abi detagerare, Kaisara ra op. Ege E uiabi detager, Dasmer, Kaisara ra lu Kaisaraim ikuar; Ade ra lu Adim ikuar.
22When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
22Uiaba aserare, epe uiaba au kase damereda, a uiaba abi dikaer, a adem bakeuare.
23On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
23Peike abele kerker Sadukaio giz abim tabakeuare, uiaba dikiaporare nole le ko eded akaid eudelam: uiaba abi itimerare,
24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
24Kega, Ereuer le ae, Mose keribi mer tigri, Ese eumilu nerute le, a nole uerem kak, abara keimer ko ispi abara kosker, iaueakai nagri kusi abi keimerlam.
25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
25Keribi dog emri sefen gaire uerem: a narbet uerem ispi abara kosker, E eumilu a nole uerem kak, abara keimer ko ispi abara kosker:
26In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
26Mokakalam nerute keimer, mena bakedida sefen le giz.
27After them all, the woman died.
27Abele kosker keubu eumilu.
28In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
28Dasmer, ese keubu gerger tabarki, nete le uiabielam ais abele kosker? abelelam uiaba kosker uridili.
29But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
29Ege Iesu etkalu uiabim, kega, Uaba didmirik, abelelam uaba asmer kak abele jauali zogo, pako Ade ra adigir.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
30Abelelam keubu gerger tabarki uiaba ko eded akaida eudlam, nole kosker aspili kak, a nole kimiar aspili kak, uiaba mokakalam Ade ra angela giz kotor ge.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
31Abele ko eded akaida eudlam, nako uaba nole atager kak Ade ra mer uabim, kega,
32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32Kaka Aberahama ra Ade, a Isaaka ra Ade, a Iakobo ra Ade? Abele Ade nole eud le giz ra Ade, epe mamor eded le giz.
33When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
33Gaire lekub aserare, ege uiaba abi damreda abara giz merlam.
34But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
34Gaire Faresaio giz aserare Sadukaio le nole abi mer kak, ege uiaba etamiare abele uteb ge.
35One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
35Ege nerute uiaba gelar ereuer le, abi itimer mirem kega,
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
36Ereuer le ae, na gelar aule?
37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
37Ege Iesu abi etkalu, Ma abi omare abele Opole mara Ade mara nerkep kemerkemer, a mara lamar kemerkemer, a mara akiapor kemerkemer.
38This is the first and great commandment.
38Abele gelar kekiam, pako aule.
39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
39Mokakalam abara neisem, Ma abi omare abele le emri mai kesi, mokakalam ma omare mabu.
40The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
40Peike neis gelar giz abele gelar uridili, pako abele gaire perofeta giz.
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
41Faresaio giz netate gedim, ege Iesu de uiabi nautumerare,
42saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
42Kega, Nako uaba dikiaporare abele Keriso? nete ra uerem? Ege uiabi abi detagerare, Dauida ra Uerem.
43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
43E uiabi detager, Dasmer, Nako Dauida nei atker Lamarlam, E abara Opole, kega,
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
44Abele Opele abi detager kara Opole, Ma emri kara tuter tag, mena kaka ikeli uader le marim kurabkurab mokakalam lu detager mara teter?
45“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
45Dasmer, ese Dauida E nei atker Opole, a nalugelam E ko nei atker abara uerem?
46No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
46Ege nole nerute le umele abim etkalu, a ditimedlu abele gerger nole nerute le ko saserim itimer abim nerute lu.
