Meriam Mir Gospels
1Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
1E iako degerati ko ereuerem keper tauer ge, gaire le netate gedim abim, abelelam E nar atiem, a emri, uiaba uridili tauer ge bamer.
2He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
2Gaire mer E uiabim ereuerem mer babisdarie, E uiabidaratagerare abara okadeskeda, kega,
3“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
3Uaba aserauem; Dasmer, nerute amorda le bakeam ko emor:
4As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
4E dikri, a uader kep gab dege abi, epe ebur giz kotorlam tabakeuda abele eroare.
5Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
5Uader kep tumem neidge abi, kebi seb ge; sobkak omeili, abelelam lerkar seb ge:
6When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
6Gerger eupamada, a eueri, a eumili, abelelam nole sip kak.
7Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
7Uader kep lu eipu daradara ge omeili, a detarapi, abelelam nole turum kak.
8Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
8Uader kep debe seb ge abi, a omeili, a esali, a turum turum; a turum therti nagri, a sikesti; a uan handed.
9He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9E uiabim detagereda, kega, Le grip nagri ko asoli, debele E asoli.
10When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
10E tepteb emri, gaire le abi dog emri, pako tuelf le, abi itmer tonar abele mer babisdarie.
11He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
11E uiabim detagereda, kega, Gaire mu tonar Ade ra baselaia uabi dekuarare ko opaserertem; emetu ikeli abele gaire lu abkoreb uiabim nogle giz:
12that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
12Abelelam ui ko dasmerare, epe nole asmer kak; a asoli, epe nole asor kak; uiaba depegelam, a uiaba uit ko detue.
13He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
13E uiabim detagereda, kega, Nako, uaba nole asmer kak abele mer babisdarie? epe nako uaba ko umele gaire mer babisdarie uridili?
14The farmer sows the word.
14Abele amorda le, emor Ade ra mer.
15The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
15Abele uader le gab ge, abele mer uiabi dog emor; uiaba asereda, epe Satana tabarki, abele mer uiabi nerkep ge emor ekadari.
16These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
16Abele uader tumem neid ge emor; uiaba abele mer asereda, a sobkak sererge erperida;
17They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
17Epe nole sip kak muige uiaba nerkep ge, abelelam nole niaiem ekue; menaba asiasi a dedkoli abele merlam tabarki, sobkak uiaba bakesmiri.
18Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
18Abele uader le eipu daradara ge emor; uiaba abele mer asoli,
19and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
19Epe gaire dikiapor lu lag geseb ge uiabi nerkep ge badari, pako geseb lu okardarem, pako uader lu lag, abele mer etarapi, epe nole turum kak.
20Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
20Ege uader emor debe seb ge; uiaba abele mer asoli, a mamor erpeili, a turum turum, uader therti, a uader sikesti, a uader uan handed.
21He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
21E uiabim detagereda, kega, Nako, lamepa ikedi kumete lokod ge, a laulau lokod ge? epe nole tum ge ikedi lamepa uteb?
22For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
22Epe nole lu ispili, a nole opasereret kak; pako nole mud ge lu, a nole akmer kak.
23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
23Ese nerute le grip nagri ko asoli, debele E asoli.
24He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
24E uiabim detagereda, kega, Uaba mamoro aserauem; abele tonar uaba detare, ko uabim detare; a ko uabi daisuerare le asereda.
25For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
25Le nagri, ko abi ikuar; le nole nagri kak, ko ekada abele lu abi dog.
26He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
26E detagereda, kega, Ade ra baselaia mokakalam le kep dikri seb ge;
27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
27E ko uteid, a ekeamlu ki ge a gerger, abele kep uai omeida, a bataile, E nole umer kak nagelam.
28For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
28Tababu seb ge omeili; uai kekiam, sik keubu, epe turum agiag.
29But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
29Turum agiag, epe namarida ko tigri, kerker ge nurabi.
30He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
30E detagereda, kega, Na lu meriba ko abkoreb Ade ra baselaia? na lu abkoreb abele babisdarie?
31It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
31Abele mokakalam sinapi kep, emetu emor, kebikebi kep tumem gaire kep uridili geseb ge emor,
32yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
32Emetu emor, E omeida, a aule tumem gaire lu ekekri, epe gaire au tam disiri; a gaire ebur epereda mudi ge igiredi.
33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
33E Ade ra mer uiabim detagereda, mokakalam gaire mer babisdarie, abkoreb uiaba umele asoli.
34Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
34E nole uiabim atager kak, ese nole mer babisdarie; uiaba mud uteb ge, E uiabim, abara kaimeg giz, gaire tonar mer detaut.
35On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
35Abele gerger kikem, E uiabim daratagereda, kega, Minaba atiem nerut apekem.
36Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
36Uiaba emetu le lakub emarida, uiaba abi egared nar ge atiem. Uader kebi nar abi doakri.
37A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
37Au ui tabarki, a gaire zauber nar etatkoi, a mitkar.
38He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
38E amaz ge kor ge uteidi: uiaba abi itir, a abi detager, kega, Kole, mama laglag ki nabaume?
39He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
39E tekue, uag daisumda, a gur detager, kega, Bamer, debe meda. Iako uag ekeamulu, ege metalu.
40He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
40E uiabim daratagereda, kega, Nalugelam uaba geum mokakalam? nako uaba nole oatur kak?
41They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
41Uiaba au geumu, a mer atagere, kega, Nete dali, uag a gur abi asoli?
